''The Pokémon School field trip to Akala Island continues! Ash and his friends attend the Wela Fire Festival and encounter a feisty Alolan Marowak, go on a curry quest, and take on new Totem Pokémon, all leading up to the main event: Ash’s grand trial against Kahuna Olivia! During the trial, Rockruff begins acting extra aggressive, and it seems that a remarkable Evolution is imminent. When their Akala adventures draw to a close, our heroes prepare for another field trip to an exciting faraway location: the Kanto region! It’s all new for the Alolan students, but it’s old hat for Ash…who just might encounter some familiar faces along the way!''

Dub description on iTunes for volume 4, currently released in Australia's time zone.

Yeah, this might end up just being a 10-episode volume with the 21st dub season starting with Satoshi and Hoshigumo's strange meeting episode. I can't even guess what they'd name their 21st season. All seasons produced by 4Kids (1-8) were 52 episodes each but this is TPCi where their seasons and those of the DVD arc are the same as of season 7 (4Kids produced) at least.

Of course, you need to also account for the production process of an episode and the time the American dubbers take to localize it into English before airing on TV Tokyo. Everyone on the production team is simply there to do their part of the production process on a general deadline for them for a long-running animated series, they don't have that much time to fix the errors and be perfectly 100% appealing to the majority of western fans on the other side of the planet downloading the show illegally rather than doing what I and an incredibly small minority of other western fans of the Japanese version do (to actually obtain the episodes legally through on demand services such as the Japanese Hulu, Amazon Video Prime, and Netflix services, watch them legally on TV Tokyo, etc.)

Here are a few of my dub title guesses (whatever gets revealed in a few hours will be the dub title for SM038, or in the small chance TPCi skips that one and swaps it with SM039 for the same reason as cutting some footage in SM012), dub title guesses are a tradition of the past (quite funny a dub title someone guessed for BW when it initially started in the dub, Clash of the Connoisseurs!, actually got used as a later official dub title, does TPCi read Pokémon fansites?):
 * SM038 - Mimikyu Unveiled!
 * SM041 - Dashing with a Shocking Start!
 * SM042 - Revisiting Square One!
 * SM043 - Tactics Versus Tactics!

Note that these are purely guesses, not the official English titles.
