March 21, 2013

***Secrets From Out of the Fog!*** (Nの秘密…霧の彼方に！*N's Secret...To The Other Side of the Mist!*) is the 777th episode of the Pokémon anime series. This episode focuses around two mysterious people who took N after he took a lot of hits from Pokémon attacks.

## Episode Summary

The episode begins with a review of what was going on at the end of the previous episode, which resulted in N becoming severely injured due to Pokémon attacking him and two mysterious people taking N through mist. Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Team Rocket decided to go follow them and Team Rocket notices they are no where near the people they followed and are in somewhere completely new. Ash and his friends notice N in a pool of water that is healing N. In everyone's amazement, N awakens, fully healed. Anthea and Concordia demand that Ash, Iris, and Cilan leave, but N asks for them to stay due to their strong bonds with Pokémon. They then realize that, like N, Anthea and Concordia can hear the inner voices of Pokémon. Also, it is learned that this is a paradise for Pokémon that were hurt in some way, either physically or mentally.

N begins to tell the history of his past. At first, he explains that he was stuck in a mansion and never allowed to interact with the outside world due to Ghetsis. Ghetsis tells N in the flashback that he can hear the inner voices of Pokémon to help the world. Anthea and Concorida tells Ash and the gang that Ghetsis fooled them all, because they were using the three of them for his evil deeds. During a ceremony, Reshiram appeared and destroyed the entire place where N grew up, which angered Ghetsis greatly. N was severely hurt, but was protected and healed by Anthea and Concorida and it was then that they learned that they wanted to help free all Pokémon and thus the hideaway was created.

After hearing the story, the scene changes place to Team Plasma reporting to Ghetsis that they failed in capturing N. Colress asked why N was so important, but Ghetsis told him that he only wanted Colress to focus on his work which was going very well. Returning to Ash ans his friends, Ash feels bad about what they were just told by Anthea and Concordia, that all Pokémon need to be freed from people to truly be happy. It is then that some of the Pokémon from the refugee appear in front of them and wish to befriend them. From a window, N, Anthea, and Concorida see Ash, Iris, and Cilan playing happily with the Pokémon which gives them all some mixed feelings and confusion.

It is then taken back to Team Plasma, who is trying to find the whereabouts of this secret place where Ash, N, and everyone else is currently residing in. Shortly after, they successfully find the place's invisible entrance and begin preparation to enter the area. This results in N, Anthea, and Concordia becoming aware that they have been discovered and Anthea and Concordia blame Ash, Iris, and Cilan for betraying them. Before they can talk too long, they are greeted by Team Plasma and their Muk. Team Plasma then calls out their Magnezone and both it and Muk attack, but Anthea and Concordia's Gothitelle protect them. Liepard is called out by Team Plasma and then Iris calls out her Excadrill along with Ash calling out his Pignite. to help defend everyone at the hideaway. Ash, Iris, and Cilan tell N, Anthea, and Concordia to get away while they stall Team Plasma and they do as they say, but are confused for the reason behind it. This results in a battle between Team Plasma, Ash, and his friends.

Once defeating Team Plasma, they see a mist behind them and a voice telling them to hurry up. They ran into the mist and were greeted by N, Anthea, and Concordia where it was explained that they are grateful of their help but their minds aren't changed about people and Pokémon. Team Rocket, who was trying to find Ash, sees Team Plasma confused as they were when they were now out of the mist. N explains to Ash, Iris, and Cilan that they he wished that people and Pokémon could live together happily, but it isn't so. The episode ends with Cilan pointing out a mysterious tower in the distance.
