==Userspace limits==
Hi. I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's {{bp|Userspace policy}} restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day and make sure you contribute to our {{bp|mainspace}} more than your userspace. This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our server. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! --[[User:TheOriginalOne|'''オリ''']][[User talk:TheOriginalOne|'''ジ''']][[Special:Contributions/TheOriginalOne|'''ナル''']] TheOriginalOne 16:35, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi. My name is '''Jerry''', aka '''Bulbajer'''. My favorite [[Pokémon]] is [[Bulbasaur]], so that's where my username comes from. I'm a typical college geek that hides his nostalgic love for Pokémon.

My earliest memories of Pokémon are 1) seeing a Pikachu keychain on a classmate's backpack in kindergarten and 2) watching a bit of the [[anime]] at a friend's house (I think it was ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''). However I really only got interested in Pokémon a few years later when I started watching the [[anime]]. [[Ash]] was making his journey through [[Johto]] when I first tuned in. Later, I received my first Pokémon [[TCG]] cards (from the [[Gym Heroes]] and [[Gym Challenge]] series). In around fourth grade, Pokémon and {{wp|Yu-gi-oh!}} were all the rage among boys, and after losing interest in the latter, I purchased [[Sapphire|Sapphire version]] for the [[Gameboy Advance]]. I don't play it much anymore, but I still visit my 150 Pokémon caught (I've seen 186) and 8 [[Hall of Fame|Hall of Fames]]. (See my teams for each of my games [[User:Bulbajer#My Teams|below]])

After Sapphire, I got interested in the [[TCG]], and started collecting (I prefer collecting to [[Pokémon battle|battling]]). Currently I have about two-thirds of the Pokémon up to [[Deoxys|#386]]. I don't collect Generations [[Generation IV|IV]] or [[Generation V|V]] because I have no interest in them and I don't like the new card styles. (And Gen. V Pokémon really stink, imao.) Late sumer 2012, I found [[Cloyster (Fossil 32)|a Cloyster]] in a shop, completing my collection of the [[Generation I|Gen. I]] Pokémon!

Besides Sapphire, I own [[LeafGreen]] and [[Red Rescue Team]]; I play LeafGreen off an on, but I gave up Red Rescue Team. I also own (both literally and figuratively) [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], which I have completed except for a few trophies.

My main areas of interest in Pokémon are the Pokémon themselves, the anime, and recently, the geography of the anime. I have watched the entire [[original series]] twice, which totally dominates the later series. I did follow the [[Advanced Generation]] series up until [[Kids' WB]] cut it (I don't receive [[Cartoon Network]]).

I have known about [[Bulbapedia]] for a long time; I didn't really become interested in it until I started watching the anime over again. I finally joined on February 21, 2010; my first edit was to [[EP117]], to which I added trivia and an error. A bunch of my edits have been undone by more experienced users, but I am getting better, and I aspire to be as wise in the ways of Bulbapedia as any!

There is an error on this map. On the East side, towards the middle, the path turns southeast into [[Grapefruit Islands|several small islands]]. Ash actually continued east to the [[Navel Island|island north and slightly to the east]] of the small islands before heading south to the small islands.

== Federation of Pokémon ==

My version of a world cooperation organization - for Pokémon, by Pokémon. Based on the idea of the {{wp|UN}}, but loosely. Delegates have rankings. The Legendary Council includes all [[Legendary Pokémon]] up to [[Deoxys]] (I don't really like [[Generation IV]] that much) and is comparable to the {{wp|Security Council}} of the UN; the General Assembly features non-Legendary Pokémon, with a delegate for each [[type]] at each delegation rank; this can be compared to the UN {{wp|General Assembly}}. General Assembly delegates are elected. For the election, each non-Legendary species of Pokémon nominate candidates, and then each type in each delegation rank vote. Members of the Legendary Council are permanent (with a few exceptions, I assume that there are only one of each Legendary Pokémon).

Hi. My name is '''Jerry''', aka '''Bulbajer'''. My favorite [[Pokémon]] is [[Bulbasaur]], so that's where my username comes from. I'm a typical college geek that hides his nostalgic love for Pokémon.

My earliest memories of Pokémon are 1) seeing a Pikachu keychain on a classmate's backpack in kindergarten and 2) watching a bit of the [[anime]] at a friend's house (I think it was ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''). However I really only got interested in Pokémon a few years later when I started watching the [[anime]]. [[Ash]] was making his journey through [[Johto]] when I first tuned in. Later, I received my first Pokémon [[TCG]] cards (from the [[Gym Heroes]] and [[Gym Challenge]] series). In around fourth grade, Pokémon and {{wp|Yu-gi-oh!}} were all the rage among boys, and after losing interest in the latter, I purchased [[Sapphire|Sapphire version]] for the [[Gameboy Advance]]. I don't play it much anymore, but I still visit my 150 Pokémon caught (I've seen 186) and 8 [[Hall of Fame|Hall of Fames]]. (See my teams for each of my games [[User:Bulbajer#My Teams|below]])

After Sapphire, I got interested in the [[TCG]], and started collecting (I prefer collecting to [[Pokémon battle|battling]]). Currently I have about two-thirds of the Pokémon up to [[Deoxys|#386]]. I don't collect Generations [[Generation IV|IV]] or [[Generation V|V]] because I have no interest in them and I don't like the new card styles. (And Gen. V Pokémon really stink, imao.) Late sumer 2012, I found [[Cloyster (Fossil 32)|a Cloyster]] in a shop, completing my collection of the [[Generation I|Gen. I]] Pokémon!

Besides Sapphire, I own [[LeafGreen]] and [[Red Rescue Team]]; I play LeafGreen off an on, but I gave up Red Rescue Team. I also own (both literally and figuratively) [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], which I have completed except for a few trophies.

My main areas of interest in Pokémon are the Pokémon themselves, the anime, and recently, the geography of the anime. I have watched the entire [[original series]] twice, which totally dominates the later series. I did follow the [[Advanced Generation]] series up until [[Kids' WB]] cut it (I don't receive [[Cartoon Network]]).

I have known about [[Bulbapedia]] for a long time; I didn't really become interested in it until I started watching the anime over again. I finally joined on February 21, 2010; my first edit was to [[EP117]], to which I added trivia and an error. A bunch of my edits have been undone by more experienced users, but I am getting better, and I aspire to be as wise in the ways of Bulbapedia as any!

== Federation of Pokémon ==

My version of a world cooperation organization - for Pokémon, by Pokémon. Based on the idea of the {{wp|UN}}, but loosely. Delegates have rankings. The Legendary Council includes all [[Legendary Pokémon]] up to [[Deoxys]] (I don't really like [[Generation IV]] that much) and is comparable to the {{wp|Security Council}} of the UN; the General Assembly features non-Legendary Pokémon, with a delegate for each [[type]] at each delegation rank; this can be compared to the UN {{wp|General Assembly}}. General Assembly delegates are elected. For the election, each non-Legendary species of Pokémon nominate candidates, and then each type in each delegation rank vote. Members of the Legendary Council are permanent (with a few exceptions, I assume that there are only one of each Legendary Pokémon).

Hi. My name is '''Jerry''', aka '''Bulbajer'''. My favorite [[Pokémon]] is [[Bulbasaur]], so that's where my username comes from. I'm a typical college geek that hides his nostalgic love for Pokémon.

My earliest memories of Pokémon are 1) seeing a Pikachu keychain on a classmate's backpack in kindergarten and 2) watching a bit of the [[anime]] at a friend's house (I think it was ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''). However I really only got interested in Pokémon a few years later when I started watching the [[anime]]. [[Ash]] was making his journey through [[Johto]] when I first tuned in. Later, I received my first Pokémon [[TCG]] cards (from the [[Gym Heroes]] and [[Gym Challenge]] series). In around fourth grade, Pokémon and {{wp|Yu-gi-oh!}} were all the rage among boys, and after losing interest in the latter, I purchased [[Sapphire|Sapphire version]] for the [[Gameboy Advance]]. I don't play it much anymore, but I still visit my 150 Pokémon caught (I've seen 186) and 8 [[Hall of Fame|Hall of Fames]]. (See my teams for each of my games [[User:Bulbajer#My Teams|below]])

After Sapphire, I got interested in the [[TCG]], and started collecting (I prefer collecting to [[Pokémon battle|battling]]). Currently I have about two-thirds of the Pokémon up to [[Deoxys|#386]]. I don't collect Generations [[Generation IV|IV]] or [[Generation V|V]] because I have no interest in them and I don't like the new card styles. (And Gen. V Pokémon really stink, imao.) Late sumer 2012, I found [[Cloyster (Fossil 32)|a Cloyster]] in a shop, completing my collection of the [[Generation I|Gen. I]] Pokémon!

Besides Sapphire, I own [[LeafGreen]] and [[Red Rescue Team]]; I play LeafGreen off an on, but I gave up Red Rescue Team. I also own (both literally and figuratively) [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], which I have completed except for a few trophies.

My main areas of interest in Pokémon are the Pokémon themselves, the anime, and recently, the geography of the anime. I have watched the entire [[original series]] twice, which totally dominates the later series. I did follow the [[Advanced Generation]] series up until [[Kids' WB]] cut it (I don't receive [[Cartoon Network]]).

I have known about [[Bulbapedia]] for a long time; I didn't really become interested in it until I started watching the anime over again. I finally joined on February 21, 2010; my first edit was to [[EP117]], to which I added trivia and an error. A bunch of my edits have been undone by more experienced users, but I am getting better, and I aspire to be as wise in the ways of Bulbapedia as any!

== Federation of Pokémon ==

My version of a world cooperation organization - for Pokémon, by Pokémon. Based on the idea of the {{wp|UN}}, but loosely. Delegates have rankings. The Legendary Council includes all [[Legendary Pokémon]] up to [[Deoxys]] (I don't really like [[Generation IV]] that much) and is comparable to the {{wp|Security Council}} of the UN; the General Assembly features non-Legendary Pokémon, with a delegate for each [[type]] at each delegation rank; this can be compared to the UN {{wp|General Assembly}}. General Assembly delegates are elected. For the election, each non-Legendary species of Pokémon nominate candidates, and then each type in each delegation rank vote. Members of the Legendary Council are permanent (with a few exceptions, I assume that there are only one of each Legendary Pokémon).

'''Kinnow Island''' (Japanese: '''ハッサク島''' ''Hassaku Island'') is an island in the eastern region of the [[Orange Archipelago]].

It seems to be the home of {{Oi|Marina}}. Kinnow Island is a large island with a big beach. Wild Pokémon sometimes appear on the beach. Off to the side of the beach is a large area of rocks where {{oi|Marina}} and {{an|Misty}} had their battle.

* If the tiny unlabeled island between Kinnow and the [[Kabuto Fossil Island|unnamed island]] from ''[[EP089|Shell Shock]]'' is the island at which the Pokémon Showboat was originally docked, then Kinnow is most likely the unnamed island at which the Showboat arrived at the end of ''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]''.

Talk:Unnamed island (EP090)

2013-05-05T03:09:23Z

Bulbajer:

== Kinnow Island ==
Isn't this island just [[Kinnow Island]]? Kinnow Island appears in the next episode, [[BW091|Bye Bye Psyduck]] and in the beginning of that episode {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are already on a beach, rather than arriving there on {{p|Lapras}}. This makes me think the Showboat and the town where it's docked are just on the other side of Kinnow Island. There is no concrete proof, but there isn't any proof that this island is a separate island from Kinnow Island either, isn't it? ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 21:29, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
: The island that the Showboat arrives at towards the end of the episode might be Kinnow. [[User:Bulbajer|Bulbajer]] ([[User talk:Bulbajer|talk]]) 03:09, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

An unnamed island in the [[Orange Archipelago]] appears in ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. Its location is unknown, though assuming the events of the short take place following ''[[EP104|Bound for Trouble]]'' (the short, along with ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', hit theaters two days after the episode aired), it is quite likely one of the two tiny islands to the northeast of [[Fairchild Island]].

It is unknown if this island has a permanent population. However, there is a {{wp|camping site}} located on the island.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are returning to [[New Bark Town]], but before Ash is able to get there to register for the {{DL|Silver Conference|Johto League Championship}}, [[Professor Elm]] sends him on an errand to retrieve a Pokémon Egg at the [[Marine Pokémon Laboratory]]. At the laboratory, Ash and his friends meet a young researcher who is in a hurry and uses {{m|Supersonic|supersonic waves}} from a {{p|Lanturn}} to detect the singing voices of traveling {{p|Lapras}}.

As Ash watches a herd of Lapras from shore, two adults separate from it, one of which approaches Ash. Ash realizes it's his old buddy, his {{AP|Lapras}} that he caught at the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and its mother. It's then revealed that the young researcher's name is [[Naomi]] and that she is studying Lapras migration routes and is the director of the Pokémon Marine Laboratory. Naomi also mentions that Professor Elm told her that Ash will be coming and will retrieve the [[Pokémon Egg]] and that's why she knows Ash's name. Ash asks Naomi if she spends all her time studying Lapras migration, Naomi confirms this and that she has been studying Pokémon Marine Biology, a study of the living patterns of marine Pokémon, she also says that this knowledge improves human life too. Naomi discusses Lapras migration and why they can navigate so quickly. Naomi says that they can somehow be able to know from a great distance away when the water temperature and season is perfect for them to return. They then share this information with the other Lapras with an outstanding speed and she figured out that the key of solving it is in Lapras' voice. Then Naomi plays the traveling song that Lapras sing when they travel and they figure out that supersonic attacks can actually pinpoint their location but {{TRT}} plans to capture the whole herd of Lapras so they can rent them out with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Naomi shows and explains the Egg's history and how she got it. Meanwhile, {{AP|Lapras}}, knowing it has been a long time since they saw each other, invites Ash to play with it.

Ash and Pikachu are then shown riding Lapras, and the three of them are enjoying being with each other again. Off to the side, Lapras' mother watches as they play, looking pleased.

But they suddenly hear the cry of a Lapras, and it is revealed that the whole herd of Lapras was caught in a net, set by Team Rocket. When Ash and Lapras arrives as well as {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}} and Naomi, [[James]] sends out {{TP|James|Weezing}}, and Ash tells Lapras to use {{m|Ice Beam}} but James tells his Weezing to use {{m|SmokeScreen}} first. Team Rocket then manages to escape with the herd. Luckily, because of {{AP|Lapras}}'s ability to locate the other {{p|Lapras}}, they can follow Team Rocket, Misty and the others follow by using a submarine. Team Rocket uses their secret weapon to boost their speed, leaving Ash and the others behind. Misty calls Ash to transport to their submarine and follow Lapras underwater.

Team Rocket is relieved that they have escaped Ash and the others, but suddenly something strikes their {{p|Gyarados}} submarine and see the Lapras herd working together to escape from the net. A Lapras manages to break the net and release them one by one. Shocked, Team Rocket strives to get to the surface before the other Lapras can escape. Before doing so, Team Rocket notices that there is a bunch of cyclones ahead and with only two Lapras are left in the net, they're caught up in the cyclone along with the submarine.

Ash's Lapras locates the herd and they follow the other Lapras. As Ash's Lapras shouts underwater to signal the others that help is coming, the herd manages to reply back, and Lapras is relieved. Suddenly Ash and company along with Naomi notices that a couple of Lapras are missing, Brock worries that the two missing Lapras might be caught in the cyclone. Ash's Lapras tells the herd to follow, saying it has heard something, but Naomi doesn't detect anything within the radar's range. The herd communicates with each other to guide their movement and fight the strong current, while signaling for the missing two. Naomi suddenly gets something on her radar: the two missing Lapras singing the herd's travel song. Naomi is amazed, realizing that they can distinguish the wordings of their song even when there is so much background noise and they can hear the songs of their friends from miles away, farther than radar can detect. Naomi notices that they are headed for a nearby island.

On the island, Team Rocket is exhausted but still have the two Lapras in the net. The herd suddenly appears out of the water and Naomi's submarine also appears. But before they can retrieve the two missing Lapras, Jessie and James sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} and Brock chooses to send out {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} to battle against Team Rocket. Brock orders Crobat to use {{m|SonicBoom}} which hits Weezing and Arbok. As Naomi and Misty strive to release the two, before doing so, {{MTR}} stops them but Ash tells {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Quick Attack}} at Meowth. Ash, Misty, and Naomi release the two and Lapras and its mom are happy to be reunited again. Arbok and Weezing were ready to attack but stopped by the herd of Lapras, and they, along with their leader, use {{m|Ice Beam}} in order to freeze Team Rocket's Pokémon. Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunder}} to blast Team Rocket off. The herd of Lapras are now safe.

At the end of the episode, Ash and his friends are proud of Lapras. The leader of the herd asks Lapras to take over the lead and Naomi explains that the leader was so impressed by how Ash's Lapras had taken charge of the situation the day before that it decides to "hand over" its leadership duty. Ash and his Lapras say goodbye to each other then the herd sets off to travel. Naomi gives Ash the Egg, [[Professor Elm]] had asked for him to bring the Egg at his lab as soon as he possibly could, Ash and his friends now say goodbye to [[Naomi]] and her {{DL|Naomi|Pokémon|Lanturn}}. And so with the Pokémon Egg safely at hand and his memories of Lapras on their mind, our heroes continue their journey to Professor Elm's lab in [[New Bark Town]] and the [[Silver Conference|Johto League]].

* This episode marks the first time that Ash is reunited with a Pokémon he completely released in an earlier episode.
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 15: Lapras'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].

===Errors===
* In the dub, {{an|Brock}}'s states that they haven't seen {{AP|Lapras}} since "we were in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]]". This is false for Brock, as he was with [[Professor Ivy]] in the Orange Islands during Lapras' entire stint on Ash's team; {{Tracey}} was traveling with {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} at that point and Brock had never seen Lapras. This is a dub only error.
* In the English dub Ash mistakenly tells his Lapras to use "Cold Beam" instead of {{m|Ice Beam}}.
* When Ash and his friends catch up to Team Rocket, Ash prepares to battle with Pikachu, saying, "Pikachu, ready?" He is also holding a [[Poké Ball]] in his hand, implying he was going to use another Pokémon.
* Brock's Crobat uses {{m|SonicBoom}} in this episode. However, Crobat [[anime move errors|cannot legally learn the move in the games]].
* When the Lapras freeze {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}, they are seen frozen together, but when {{AP|Pikachu}} uses {{m|Thunder}}, they are separated.
* When {{AP|Pikachu}} uses {{m|Thunder}}, even though {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} isn't out of its [[Poké Ball]], it is seen blasting off with Team Rocket.
* When Ash is running on the beach while Lapras is swimming, Ash is seen running without shoes; later he has shoes on.

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} have arrived at a [[Kanto]] Fair, and Ash feels both nostalgic and excited for seeing lots of Kanto Pokémon crafts. {{an|N}} realizes that Ash excitement must be because he's from Kanto, and Ash says that it's true. Also {{an|Iris}} is excited, and she runs along with Ash to explore the Fair, followed by {{an|Cilan}} and N. As they make their way through the Fair, Ash hears a familiar voice, and sees a video presentation, where none other than {{an|Professor Oak}} himself is presenting the three [[starter Pokémon]] of Kanto: {{type|Water}} {{p|Squirtle}}, {{type|Fire}} {{p|Charmander}}, and {{type|Grass}} {{p|Bulbasaur}}. N asks Ash which Pokémon he chose as his starter, to which Iris tells that {{AP|Pikachu}} is Ash's starter. N is surprised, and Ash explains that he arrived late, and all the other Pokémon were already taken, so he wound up with Pikachu, which turned out to be just great. The video presentation then ends, and a young lady then appears on a small stage, being ready to present Kanto's Fire-type starter Pokémon, Charmander. A puff of smoke covers the stage, and when it clears, a Charmander reveals itself. The crowd is excited, and Ash scans Charmander with his [[Pokédex]]. The presentation begins with Charmander using {{m|Ember}}, charming the audience. Charmander then begins spinning while still using Ember, but soon becomes dizzy and accidentally knocks over a lamp, which crashes onto it, as well as a piece of the stage wall. Ash is worried if Charmander is okay, but then Charmander's tail rises from the rubble, indicating that it's at least somewhat fine.

Charmander is taken to a [[Pokémon Center]], where [[Nurse Joy]] puts some band-aids on it. She notices Ash and his friends outside of the room, and comes out, saying that Charmander just needs a little rest to recover, making them relieved.

With Charmander getting well, Ash and his friends sit down to drink. Ash tells how this Charmander reminded him of his own Charmander. Cilan is surprised, and wonders that didn't Ash start his journey with Pikachu. Ash admits that that is the truth, but that he also later [[EP011|encountered an abandoned Charmander]], which he, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Misty}} had saved from a downpour, its tail flame barely burning. It had been taken to a Pokémon Center, from which, as soon as it had recovered, had left to return to wait for [[Damian|its Trainer]]. A while later, it had proved its strength by saving Pikachu from the hands of {{TRT}}, prompting its Trainer to take it back. Charmander, however, witnessing how selfish its Trainer was, refused to re-join him, and instead went together with Ash. They then went through many experiences together, such as [[EP025|helping Ash to catch]] a {{AP|Primeape}}, [[EP032|allowing him to earn]] the {{Badge|Soul}} from [[Koga]], and [[Snow Way Out!|warming him up during a snowstorm]]. It had [[EP043|then evolved into]] a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and [[EP044|started to disobey him]]. It had soon after [[EP046|evolved again]], now becoming a {{AP|Charizard}}, but still retaining its [[obedience|disobedience]]. Although Charizard had [[EP059|helped him to defeat]] [[Blaine]] and earn the {{Badge|Volcano}}, its [[EP079|disobedience at the Indigo Plateau]] had cost him the place in the [[Pokémon League]]'s quarter-finals. Iris wonders how this could've happened, to which Cilan reminds her how she has had the same kind of problems with her {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} and {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}}.

Ash then starts telling how his relationship with Charizard had finally taken a turn to the better at the [[Orange Islands]], where Charizard [[EP105|had been frozen in a battle]] against a {{p|Poliwrath}}, severely weakening it. Ash had stayed along Charizard's side all night, trying to help it recover as well as he could. Seeing how unselfishly Ash was taking care of it, Charizard had finally earned Ash's trust and started obeying him, even defeating Poliwrath in a [[rematch]]. Cilan then wonders why Charizard isn't still in Ash's [[party|team]], even though it had become his friend. Ash explains that when he had entered the [[Johto]] [[region]], [[EP134|he and his friends had met]] {{jo|Liza}} and found out about the [[Charicific Valley]], where lots of Charizard were training to become stronger. Ash's Charizard had tried to test its powers with the Charizard in the Valley, but was proven to be seriously underleveled compared to them. Making one of the hardest decisions of his life, Ash had decided to leave Charizard at the Valley, so that it could train and become more worthy and stronger battler. Since then, Charizard had rejoined Ash in several important fights, such as in [[EP254|his Gym battle against Clair]], [[EP270|his Silver Conference battle against Gary]], as well as [[AG136|his Battle Frontier match]] against [[Noland's Articuno]], proving that its training at the Charicific Valley had indeed paid off.

The young lady and her Charmander then appear, apologizing for all the trouble they had caused. Ash tells Charmander not to try too much, and it and its Trainer then leave. Ash thinks that he now wants to meet Charizard again, making both Iris and Cilan excited of the idea to see it, Cilan mostly because he wants to see how Ash's relationship with Charizard differs from the one with Pikachu. He makes a phone call to Professor Oak, who tells that Charizard has already been sent from the Valley to the lab, waiting to be transferred. Oak asks which Pokémon Ash is going to send to him as an exchange, to which Ash says that he's going to send his {{AP|Unfezant}}. Oak is interested of how it would get along with Ash's {{AP|other|Noctowl}} {{AP|Flying|Swellow}}-{{AP|types|Staraptor}} at the lab, and agrees. The exchange is then made, sending Unfezant's [[Poké Ball]] to Professor Oak, while Charizard's Poké Ball appears at the Pokémon Center.

Ash joins the others on the outside at the battlefield. Iris and Cilan eager Ash to show Charizard, so Ash, after taking a deep breath, sends out the Flame Pokémon, which emerges from the Ball with a ground-shaking roar. Pikachu jumps on Charizard's shoulder, and the others are amazed at the sight of the magnificent Pokémon. As Ash introduces Charizard to his friends, it greets him with its usual {{m|Flamethrower}} scorching. Ash compliments Charizard's Flamethrower, and they have a fist tap. Even N is impressed, seeing how much their friendship has deepened just because of Charizard long absence, saying that they are indeed true friends. Ash then calls out his [[Unova]] team to greet Charizard, and Iris does the same. Ash introduces his new Pokémon to Charizard, but quickly Charizard's eyes focus on Iris's Dragonite, who glares back at it with an equally fiery stare. Noticing the sprouting rivalry between their Pokémon, Ash challenges Iris and Dragonite to a battle, saying that it'll be the only way to let the two Pokémon to settle their differences without everything getting out of control. Iris gladly accepts the challenge, making Cilan extremely excited.

The battle begins with Dragonite firing a Flamethrower, which Charizard counters with its own Flamethrower. Charizard then takes flight, with Dragonite following right on its tail. Iris tells Dragonite to use {{m|ThunderPunch}}, which Ash counters by having Charizard use {{m|Wing Attack}}, effectively blocking Dragonite's attack. Ash then has Charizard use {{m|Slash}}, and Iris counters by having Dragonite use {{m|Dragon Rush}}. The two moves collide in a big explosion, and Iris excited of how strong her Dragonite is. However, her hopes are soon crushed as Charizard emerges from the dust cloud and roars loudly. Ash decides show the results of Charizard's training by having it to counter a {{type|Dragon}} [[move|attack]] with another Dragon-type attack, and tells Charizard to use {{m|Dragon Tail}}. Iris tells Dragonite to fly away, but Charizard quickly catches it up and hits the Dragon Pokémon, sending it crashing into the ground. When the dust clears, Dragonite is seen holding its right arm, clearly damaged. N then calls off the battle, saying that the two Pokémon have already settled their differences. Cilan is impressed, and says that it was a good idea to hold this a battle. Iris, however, wonders why Dragon Rush wasn't {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} on Charizard, since it was a Dragon-type attack. The others then are mildly surprised, N even chucking a bit, and Ash corrects Iris that Charizard is not a Dragon-type. Iris is shocked and protests that how could it then be able to use a Dragon-type attack and look so much like a Dragon-type, to which Ash replies by showing her Charizard's Pokédex entry, which clearly states that Charizard is a {{t|Fire}}/{{type|Flying}}, shocking Iris even more, as she had already thought about catching herself a Charmander. Ash decides to take Charizard with him on his Unova journey, making both his friends and Charizard excited, with the latter firing a celebrating Flamethrower into the sky.

==Major events==

* [[Ash's Charizard]] returns and is revealed to have learned {{m|Wing Attack}}, {{m|Slash}}, and {{m|Dragon Tail}}.
* Charizard battles [[Iris's Dragonite]]. The battle is called off by {{an|N}}.

** This is also the first appearance of [[Ash's Primeape]] outside of an opening since [[EP029|its departure to train with Anthony]] over 700 episodes ago, appearing in the Charizard flashback sequence.
* This is the first time {{an|Misty}} had a speaking role since ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.
** This is also the first time since ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'' when {{Tracey}} has made an appearance in person.
* This episode marks the first time since ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'' in which one of Ash's [[Indigo League|Kanto]] Pokémon (besides {{AP|Pikachu}}) is in Ash's regular party (rather than for just a day or for a single event).
* This episode features the following flashbacks, which have all been reanimated to match the style introduced in {{series|Best Wishes}}:
** Ash and {{an|Brock}} saving {{p|Charmander}} from the rain, and Ash later capturing it from ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]''.
** Charmander battling {{AP|Primeape}} from ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]''.
** The battle between Charmander and [[Koga's Golbat]] from ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''.
** Charmander, {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Squirtle}} huddling with Ash from ''[[Snow Way Out!]]''.
** Charmander's [[evolution]] into {{p|Charmeleon}} in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''.
** Charmeleon beginning to disobey Ash in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]''.
** The battle between Charmeleon and {{p|Aerodactyl}} which caused Charmeleon to evolve from ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''.
** Charizard defeating [[Blaine's Magmar]] from ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''
** Charizard refusing to battle for Ash, costing him the [[Indigo League]] from ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''.
** Charizard being defeated and severely weakened by [[Tad]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}, and Ash's later actions that allowed him to regain Charizard's trust in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''.
** Charizard's desperation to be accepted at the [[Charicific Valley]] and Ash leaving it behind in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]''.

** Defeating [[Gary's Blastoise]] from ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]''.
** Battling [[Noland's Articuno]] from ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]''.
* Unlike the other moves seen in the flashbacks, [[Clair's Dragonair]]'s {{m|Iron Tail}} was not reanimated to match the move's appearance in {{series|Best Wishes}}.
* This is the first time a flashback to a previous Pokémon league that is not the most recent Pokémon league is shown. A flashback is shown of the [[Indigo League]], and Ash had just recently competed in the [[Vertress Conference]].
[[File:BW116 Team Rocket.png|220px|thumb|right|[[Team Rocket trio]]'s only appearance in this episode ]]
* This episode marks the first time that {{m|Seismic Toss}} is not in Charizard's moveset since it was first used in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''.
** Despite being part {{type|Flying}}, this episode also marks the first time Charizard is seen using {{m|Wing Attack|a Flying-type move}}.
* This is the first time when Ash has sent a Pokémon from his [[Unova]] team to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], namely {{AP|Unfezant}}.
* Although [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} only appear briefly in a flashback being burned by [[Ash's Charizard|Charmander]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}}, leaving only their weak silhouette visible.
* The [[Magikarp salesman]] makes a speaking cameo appearance in this episode as one of the vendors at the Kanto Fair, meaning he has now appeared at least once in every anime series so far.
* Ash's [[Sinnoh]] attire is the only one he was not shown wearing during this episode, as his Charizard does not appear throughout the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}.

===Errors===
* During the flashback of ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'', some of the feathers on Pidgeotto's head are colored yellow like its {{p|Pidgeot|evolved form}} instead of pink.
* During the flashback of ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', Aerodactyl's leg is colored orange while it holds Ash.
* During the flashback when Ash was sending Charizard to the [[Charicific Valley]], Ash's sleeve is discolored.
* Before Oak sent Ash's Charizard for his Unfezant, his eyes are colored brown instead of black.
* After Ash picks up Charizard's Poké Ball, the wrist of his glove is colored green instead of red.

'''Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!''' (Japanese: '''さよならフシギダネ！オーキドていのぼうけん！！''' ''Farewell {{tt|Fushigidane|Bulbasaur}}! Adventure at Professor Oak's'') is the 225th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 22, 2001 and in the United States on September 23, 2002.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are on their way back to [[Ecruteak City]] to get to [[Mahogany Town]]. On their way down a hill, a couple of milk cans start to roll down. They break into a run until someone says to catch them so they stop and grab them. They carry the cans up towards a truck driver who asks where they're going. Since the gang helped out with the cans, the driver says he'll give them a ride along the route to a destination closer to Ecruteak. They get to an airport with a blimp waiting. {{TRT}} is later spying on them, seeing if there would be a way inside the blimp. They sneak onto the cargo hold and look around. They come to a freezer and decide to go in, except the door latch closes on them when they go in. After a while, they notice the door is stuck, and by the time they knock it down, they're frozen. Since the blimp is making another ascent, they slide out of the blimp.

After they land, {{Ash}} gives {{an|Professor Oak}} a call at a nearby rest house, except nobody's there when he calls. [[Mimey]] pops up eventually, followed by {{Delia|Ash's mom}}. Ash wonders what's going on when Oak and {{Tracey}} come into view. It looks like they're having a little problem with the Pokémon in the area. Three different groups of the {{p|Oddish}} evolutionary line, the {{p|Hoppip}} evolutionary line, and some {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} won't cooperate with each other in order to share a lake. Oak suggests to Ash that he should send {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to them because Bulbasaur might be able to help out. Ash does so and hopes that Bulbasaur could solve the problem.

Tracey, Oak, and Bulbasaur set off to the lake. Along the way, {{AP|Heracross}} comes by happily and yet again sucks Bulbasaur's bulb, resulting in Bulbasaur whipping Heracross with {{m|Vine Whip}}. After arriving, Bulbasaur rushes up to the three groups of Pokémon. Bulbasaur tries to talk them into sharing the lake and also puts a {{p|Bellossom}} in front of a {{p|Jumpluff}}, but instead gets slapped by the Bellossom. Afterward, it tries to move a Jumpluff in front of a {{p|Poliwhirl}}, but gets {{m|tackle|Tackled}} by the Jumpluff and {{m|DoubleSlap|slapped}} by the Poliwhirl. This continues on until all three groups turn on Bulbasaur and start a fight. Tracey tries to help by sending out his Pokémon but the fight ends up with Bulbasaur releasing a {{m|SolarBeam}} straight up into the sky. Stunned, all the grass Pokémon respect Bulbasaur and each other.

After the quarrel is solved, Bulbasaur decides to get to work. Oak and Tracey stand by to watch, Tracey taping the whole event. Bulbasaur and Marill show the grass types a blank field, then cut the grass to make a patch of barren land, and started to dig up the sand. The others got the idea and started to dig in the clearing. After a while, Bulbasaur hit something hard, hard dirt which they can't dig through. Bulbasaur runs off towards the Poliwhirl from before. The Poliwhirl declines for a while, but Bulbasaur persists. Eventually, the Poliwhirl agrees. Bulbasaur later talks with a Sandslash; the Sandslash also agrees to help out with the problem.

Soon, all the Pokémon are working on creating a new lake. Ash's mom and Mimey come by later, both with bags of Pokémon food for the Pokémon. Later, one the Sandslash encounters a boulder in the ground. Once they expose enough of it, Bulbasaur tries to remove it. After a while, all the other Pokémon start to help out Bulbasaur. The boulder is carried out and everyone resumes their work. Soon enough, the Sandslash start scattering because they hit the ground water. The hole fills up with water, creating the lake! But the ground loosens and falls where an Oddish by the boulder was. The boulder is just about to land on the Oddish but Bulbasaur pushes it out of the way... except Bulbasaur can't get out, and the boulder is about to land on Bulbasaur! Professor Oak, Tracey, Delia and all the other Pokémon watch in horror as the boulder lands.

We then see a flashback of Bulbasaur's travels which show how, despite its initially distrusting nature, became a valuable part of Ash's team. We see some of the adventures Bulbasaur has had while traveling, as well reminding us of how close Ash and Bulbasaur are.

Later in a field, Ash wakes up from a nap. He looks towards the clouds and senses only that Bulbasaur is doing well.

Oak and Tracey push the boulder into the flooded area, but Bulbasaur is nowhere to be seen. Everyone starts to wonder what happened to it, but then Bulbasaur digs out from the ground, alright and ready to go! Tracey marvels that Bulbasaur cannot usually learn {{m|Dig}}, but Oak notes that in times of need, it is possible to call upon power never known to it previously.

Ash gives Oak a call again to see how things are going. It looks like Bulbasaur was a great help. Oak asks if Bulbasaur can stay and keep things in check. Ash asks Bulbasaur if it is okay, and Bulbasaur agrees. Later, Bulbasaur solves another conflict going on and looks at the sky, knowing Ash is fine without it.

==Major events==
* Ash sends Bulbasaur to Professor Oak's Lab to act as a peacemaker between the Grass and Water Pokémon.
* Ash's Bulbasaur learns {{m|Dig}}.
* Ash and Bulbasaur agree that Bulbasaur should remain at Professor Oak's Lab permanently.

===Errors===
* Near the beginning of the episode, Ash, with Pikachu on his shoulder, trips and falls in front of Brock; however, Brock's mouth remains in front of Pikachu as they fall.

Moomoo Farm

2013-05-03T23:22:42Z

Bulbajer: 38 is more likely than 39 to be "right next to Ecruteak"

The '''MooMoo Farm''' (Japanese: '''モーモーぼくじょう''' ''Moomoo Ranch'') is a small farm located on {{rt|39|Johto}}. Its slogan is: ''"Enjoy Our Fresh and Tasty Milk"''. The farm keeps Miltank that produce popular milk for humans and Pokémon. There is a sick {{p|Miltank}} named MooMoo there when the {{player}} first arrives. After feeding her several [[Berries (Generation II)#Berry|Berries]], she will get better and her owner will give the player the {{TM|13|Snore}} (Generation II) or the {{TM|83|Natural Gift}} (Generation IV). After MooMoo is healed, the player can also buy {{DL|Drink|MooMoo Milk}}.

==Geography==
[[File:MooMoo Farm GSC.png|left|thumb|200px|MooMoo Farm in [[Generation II]]]]
The MooMoo Farm is a small farm located on {{rt|39|Johto}}. It contains a small paddock where {{p|Miltank}} graze, a barn house, and another house where the owners live. The paddock is located on the south side of the farm, where four Miltank peacefully graze all day. In the barn, lives a sick Miltank named MooMoo. Two children try to nurse the sick Pokémon, but nothing seems to work. If the {{player}} gives MooMoo seven {{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Berry|ordinary Berries}} in [[Generation II]], or seven [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]] in [[Generation IV]], it will gradually get better, and one of the children will give the player the {{key|IV|Seal Case}} in Generation IV. In the building next to the barn is the house where the family who owns the farm lives. It contains two farmers, a man and a woman. The man will sell {{DL|Drink|MooMoo Milk}} to the player for {{PDollar}}500 after MooMoo returns to health. The woman will reward the player with {{TM|13|Snore}} in Generation II, and {{TM|83|Natural Gift}} in Generation IV. In total there are five {{p|Miltank}} that appear on the farm, though there probably are many more, considering the amount of MooMoo Milk the farm must produce.

==In the anime==
[[File:MooMoo Farm anime.png|200px|thumb|right|MooMoo Farm in the anime]]
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} visited the farm in ''[[EP159|A Dairy Tale Ending]]'' with [[Whitney]]. In the anime, MooMoo Farm is located outside of [[Goldenrod City]] and is overseen by Whitney's [[Milton|Uncle Milton]]. It is much like the MooMoo Farm in the games, as many {{p|Miltank}} lie around and graze. The farm was the location of Ash's rematch against Whitney where he defeated her Miltank.

There may also be a MooMoo Farm on {{rt|38|Johto}} (as in the games) as referenced in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], MooMoo Farm first appears in {{PAV|10}}, where a couple is trying to cure a sick Miltank. [[Eusine]] and his {{p|Jumpluff}} crash through the roof of the barn, and he cures the silk Miltank, though he tricks the farm couple into thinking he did it with magic. Soon after Eusine leaves the farm, {{adv|Crystal}} confronts him about this and reveals that all he did was cleverly slip the Miltank a berry.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]], MooMoo Farm is first mentioned in ''[[GB13|A Promise Given to Miltank]]'', when [[Morty]] says that all the {{p|Miltank}} on the farm are sick. Later, {{GnB|Gold}} enters a Pokémon tournament at the farm in ''[[GB14|Let's Fight! The Mini Pokémon Tournament]]''.

==Trivia==
* A similarly named {{smw|Moo Moo Farm}} is the name of a {{smw|Mario Kart 64}} course.

'''Diglett Village''' (Japanese: '''ディグタのむら''' ''{{tt|Digda|Diglett}} Village'') is a small village on [[Red Rock Isle]]. Years ago, the villagers were trying to cultivate the infertile land of the island when they befriended the {{p|Diglett}}. The Diglett helped them turn the desert to lush, green farmland. This tale was told all throughout the [[Whirl Islands]].

Over time, they have remained in Diglett Village but their children have migrated to a nearby town that was also built by the Diglett. [[Town council members|Those original villagers]] have now become elderly but still wage battle against their adult children, who they believe to be a [[Band of Diglett Thieves]], because of their great pride.

According to James, the population of Diglett Village (not including [[Rita and Sue]]) is 20, while the Band of Diglett Thieves numbers more than 50.

'''References to the Pokémon franchise''' are often made in other media. While {{p|Pikachu}} is a common target due to its prominence as the mascot of the franchise, other Pokémon, characters, and elements of the various Pokémon series are often lampooned.

| However, Pokémon was used again for a different playing of the same game, even though no audience members were intelligibly heard making that suggestion. (Though on the other hand, ''anime'' was an audience suggestion.) {{wp|Kathy Greenwood}} is the fourth chair for this episode, joining Colin and Ryan in "Film, TV, & Theatre Styles". This was a different portraying of a Pokémon "style" in comparison to the playing in show #235. When Pokémon was used as the last style for this playing's scene, Colin shouts out, "Pikachu!" in a high-pitched voice this time instead of Ryan, causing the audience to burst out in laughter as he started walking around the stage. He then pretends to shock Ryan, who yells, "Ow!" in response and does his Charmander pose used in show #235. Colin turns around, shouts "Pikachu!" again, and walks to the other side of the small stage. He then turns back to Kathy and Ryan and sends more "{{m|ThunderShock|shocks}}" towards them, causing Kathy to hop a bit on every "shock" sent towards her. (It had no effect on "Charmander Ryan", who was looking away and continuing to do his pose.) Kathy maintained {{tt|her scene's character|Playing as the wife of 'Police Chief Colin'}} throughout the style, pretending to point a handgun at Colin. Drew sounds the buzzer several times afterwards to end the game, sending the cast members back to their seats. He also awards 1,000 extra "{{tt|points|Since Whose Line is it Anyway? is a slight parody of game shows, the points are fake and irrelevant. Hence, 'the points don't matter'.}}" to Colin for his "Pikadoo" act (getting Colin to say, "Pikachu," once more to correct Drew, which also causes Ryan to say, "Bless you,") and says to him, "Oh, I'd love to see you and your wife going at it, man."

'''The Purr-fect Hero''' (Japanese: '''こどものひだよ！ぜんいんしゅうごう！''' ''It's Children's Day! Everyone Gather!'') is the 53rd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 9, 1998 and in the United States on September 11, 1999.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode begins with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} walking along a dirt path. They come across a few Pokémon banners and immediately recognize that it's Kids' Day. Suddenly, {{ka|Reiko|someone}} mistakes the trio for the Pokémon Trainers they've been looking for. Once she receives a phone call, she realizes that Ash and company are not the Pokémon Trainers she was searching for. However, after hearing how she wanted to do something special for the children she taught at the pre-school, the trio decides to let the children play with their Pokémon.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} reminisces about Kids' Day. [[James]] always had a great Kids' Day, whereas [[Jessie]] did not.

The episode goes back to Ash and his friends inside the school. The children rush over to play with {{AP|Pikachu}}, who has to be taken away by Ash before it electrocuted the children. {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} also let out their Pokémon, who all began playing with the kids. However, there was one child who was off on his own. This child, {{ka|Timmy}} had no interest in playing with any Pokémon besides {{p|Meowth}}. He further explains that this is due to a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] Meowth saving him from a {{p|Beedrill}}. However, the children are in total disbelief and mock him.

Suddenly, a bright van pulls up to the school where Jessie, disguised a magician, convinces the teacher to let her, James, and {{MTR}} do a magic show for the children. She agrees and Team Rocket sets up. They show the children, the gang, and the teacher an empty box, and claim that they need a volunteer. Pikachu is swept up by James who places it into the box. Both Jessie and James chant before tapping the box with a wand. Meowth flies from the box and completes the trick, much to the kid's enjoyment.

The trio try to make their getaway, but are stopped by Ash who demands his Pikachu back. Team Rocket reveals themselves, but are attacked by the overly excited children. They begin to bounce around {{TP|James|Weezing}} before the teacher yells at them to quiet down and leave Team Rocket alone. Getting back down to business, James tells Weezing to use {{m|SmokeScreen}} which was able to blind the gang.

Timmy, upon seeing Meowth's distress, rushes over to help, but knocks down the box Meowth was standing on. This also knocks Pikachu out of the box, unbeknownst to everyone else. Team Rocket picks up the box and rushes off to escape. Ash worriedly calls out to Pikachu, but Pikachu is safe and sound inside the school. However, the teacher says that Timmy has gone missing. Misty do a Meowth impression.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket rejoice their capture and open the box, hoping to pull out Pikachu. Instead, they pull Timmy from the box, who proceeds to cry. The tears stop when he sees Meowth. He runs over to Meowth, thanking him for saving his life from the wild Beedrill. Meowth was about to tell him he had the wrong Pokémon, but Jessie and James convince Meowth to go along with the kid to avoid crushing his feelings.

Putting on act, Jessie and James act like they wanted to do harm to Timmy. Meowth jumps in front of him and uses {{m|Fury Swipes}} to knock Jessie and James down. Meowth grabs Timmy's hand and makes a run for it. They come running back to the school, surprising everyone. The children see Meowth and apologize for not believing Timmy's story in the first place and Timmy accepts their apologies and allows them to play with Meowth, who relishes in the attention.

Meowth accidentally lets some human speech slip from his mouth, getting Misty to call him out. In desperation, he made a run for it, much to the dismay of Timmy and his classmates. Timmy chases after Meowth, followed by everyone else. Meowth is able to make it back to Team Rocket, but he is followed by everyone. Team Rocket recites their motto once more and challenges Ash to a battle. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} while James sends out his Weezing. Ash calls his {{AP|Pidgeotto}} out and Brock helps by using {{TP|Brock|Onix}}.

Weezing uses {{m|Smog}}, which is easily blown away by Pidgeotto's {{m|Gust}}, along with Weezing itself. Arbok, however, escapes by using {{m|Dig}}. Arbok popped up in front of the gang, but was {{m|Tackle|tackled}} by Onix. This tackle causes part of the rock on the cliff Arbok slammed into to crumble and roll. Everyone was able to escape with the exception of Ash and Timmy. However, a wild Meowth came out of nowhere, kicking the boulder in two and saving their lives. Timmy immediately recognizes this Meowth as the one that had saved him before.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is running atop a second boulder, disappearing from sight while chasing their Meowth, unable to stop rolling.

Once back at the school, the teacher thanks Ash and his friends for all their help. Timmy proclaims he's going to become a Pokémon Trainer as well, hinting that the wild Meowth was now his. Finally, our heroes say goodbye to their new friends.

==Trivia==
* The correct placement of this episode in chronology is somewhat a mystery because of the episodes airing out of order due to the [[EP038]] seizure incident. The events of this episode take place sometime after ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', because {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} is present in this episode; it is estimated to take place either before or after the [[Todd Snap]] arc.
* This episode was originally scheduled to air on [[wp:Kodomo no hi|Children's Day]] itself, on May 5, 1998, but was rescheduled in the aftermath of EP038.
* This episode and [[EP052|the preceding]] air after ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'' in the dub. It aired between [[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]] and [[EP058|Riddle Me This]] on [[Pocket Monsters Encore]].
* The events of ''[[EP052|Princess vs Princess]]'' were referenced by Ash in this episode.
* This episode seems to have a legitimate four-Trainer [[Double Battle]], consisting of Ash and Brock vs. Jessie and James towards the end, though Double Battles didn't exist until Generation III.
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 11: Meowth'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].
* Starting with this episode, the dialogue of [[Who's That Pokémon?]] sounds different from the previous episodes (unless a Pokémon has already been used in a segment).

===Errors===
[[File:Weezing EP053 error.png|200px|thumb|Weezing's eyes]]
* In a scene where the kids throw Weezing around, Weezing's eyes are missing. However, it could just be that its eyes are not visible from the camera angle.

[[Image:Lisaortiz.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Lisa Ortiz]]
'''Lisa Ortiz''' is a voice actress for the English-language dub of the [[Pokémon anime]].

==Biography==
Ortiz was born on 11 December 1974, and is bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish. According to herself, she got into voice acting when one of her brothers took her car and she went to search for it. An employee of {{wp|Central Park Media}} accompanied her and mentioned that the company was searching for voice actors. She subsequently auditioned for and landed the role of Deedlit in ''{{wp|Record of Lodoss War}}''.

Ortiz has also been involved with voice directing. She has worked on projects at [[DuArt Film & Video|DuArt]], where the Pokémon anime series has been dubbed since Season 11.

==Pokémon roles==
Lisa was one of the original voice actresses on Pokémon. She provided voices for the series until [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|season nine]], when {{TPCi|Pokémon USA}} and [[TAJ Productions]] took over the distribution and dubbing. She returned to the series in ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]''. She mainly provides voices for [[characters of the day]] and supporting characters. But she gained a more important role in the [[Best Wishes series]], providing the voice of [[Ash's Oshawott]].

'''Caterpie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キャタピー ''' ''Caterpie'') is a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Metapod}} starting at [[level]] 7, which evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Caterpie is {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with serpentine bodies|serpentine}} and resembles a green caterpillar with yellow ring-shaped markings down the sides of its body. Its most notable characteristic is the bright red antennae ({{wp|osmeterium}}) on its head. These and the large eye-shaped markings help to startle predators. It shares many characteristics with other larval Pokémon such as {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Wurmple}} and {{p|Sewaddle}}.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
The antennae on its head will emit a terrible stench from it if the Caterpie is frightened or if the antennae are touched. This serves as an effective protective mechanism against most predators. Its feet are tipped with suction cups, permitting this Pokémon to scale most surfaces with minimal effort. It can also {{m|String Shot|spit a string from its mouth}} in order to entangle foes as seen in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', when Caterpie uses String Shot on the villainous Team Rocket.

Much like many un-evolved {{type|Bug}} Pokémon Caterpie can trust in a small moveset, not being able to trust in [[TM]]s, [[HM]]s or [[Egg move|inheriting moves from its parents]]. Recently Caterpie and other Bug-type Pokémon have been found to have the ability to {{m|Bug Bite|bite opponents and eat a Berry they may be holding}}. Through [[Move tutor|specialized training]] it can learn to shoot a powerful {{m|Electroweb|string that can also lower speed}} and {{m|Snore|attack while asleep}}.

===Behavior===
Caterpie grow very quickly, and need to eat voraciously in order to meet their energy requirements. They have various adaptations that permit them to devour plant material safely, including an antenna that releases a horrible smell. It will shed its skin many times before finally cocooning itself in thick silk. While some {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are disgusted by the idea of {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, they are ideal targets for new Trainers as they are weak in the wild and evolve into their final forms at a low level.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Caterpie can often be found in wooded areas, such as [[Viridian Forest]]. It is native to the [[Kanto]] and the [[Johto]] region, but has also been encountered in [[Sinnoh]] as well.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Caterpie primarily feed on vegetation, such as tree leaves. According to [[Pokémon Adventures]], its favorite food is the Vermilion flower.

Caterpie made its main appearance in the {{chap|Yellow}}. With the help of her fishing rod and {{adv|Red}}'s Pika, {{adv|Yellow}} saved a Caterpie from its tree, which was targeted by a fire attack. Caterpie then followed Yellow to where she and {{adv|Blue}} were training, next to the [[Rock Tunnel]]. It took Yellow a whole day to properly catch this Caterpie with a Poké Ball, but once she prevailed, Yellow welcomed Caterpie to her team and called it "Kitty". It then became one of Yellow's most useful Pokémon, whose string was commonly used to make floaters. However, in the battle against [[Lance]], Yellow did not have a [[Pokédex]], which she needed to stop her Pokémon from evolving, and so Kitty evolved into {{p|Metapod}} and then into {{p|Butterfree}} right afterwards.

==Trivia==
* Caterpie was the first Pokémon to be seen [[Evolution|evolving]] in the anime.
** It is also the first Pokémon to be seen being caught in the anime, by [[Ash Ketchum]].
* Caterpie, along with {{p|Weedle}} and {{p|Wurmple}}, evolve at level 7, the lowest level required for any Pokémon that evolves by leveling up.
** Also, their known [[Ability|Abilities]] are same, {{a|Shield Dust}} and {{a|Run Away}}.
* Caterpie is the first {{type|Bug}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Caterpie is the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order which has the same name in English and Japanese.
* Caterpie shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Wurmple}}. They are both known as Worm Pokémon.
* Though Caterpie's ability to release a terrible smell is mentioned in many of its Pokédex entries, it cannot have the Ability {{a|Stench}}.
* Caterpie shares a fairly similar in-game [[cry]] with {{p|Goldeen}}, being only .07 seconds shorter.
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, when it became able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}}, Caterpie was unable to do anything to a {{t|Ghost}} type outside of {{m|Struggle|struggling}} except {{m|String Shot|lower its Speed}}. It shares this trait with its evolution, {{p|Metapod}}. This is also true for {{p|Weedle}}, and its evolution, {{p|Kakuna}}, against {{t|Steel}} types before {{game|Platinum}} was released.
* Caterpie is the first Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order that isn't related to a starter Pokémon.
* In the anime and in Pokémon Adventures, Caterpie holds the record as the Pokémon who takes the least time to evolve twice, taking only [[AG142|one episode]] in the anime and [[PS89|one chapter]] in Pokémon Adventures.

===Origin===
Caterpie is a stylized {{wp|caterpillar}}, most resembling an {{wp|Eastern Tiger Swallowtail}} caterpillar. Its "antenna" is an {{wp|osmeterium}}, an organ unique to swallowtail caterpillars which, like Caterpie, they use to emit a foul odor.

====Name origin====
Caterpie is a corruption of ''{{wp|caterpillar}}''.

Hi. My name is '''Jerry''', aka '''Bulbajer'''. My favorite [[Pokémon]] is [[Bulbasaur]], so that's where my username comes from. I'm a typical college geek that hides his nostalgic love for Pokémon.

I was first introduced to the franchise through the [[anime]]. [[Ash]] was making his journey through [[Johto]] when I first tuned in. Later, I received my first Pokémon [[TCG]] cards (from the [[Gym Heroes]] and [[Gym Challenge]] series). In around fourth grade, Pokémon and {{wp|Yu-gi-oh!}} were all the rage among boys, and after losing interest in the latter, I purchased [[Sapphire|Sapphire version]] for the [[Gameboy Advance]]. I don't play it much anymore, but I still visit my 150 Pokémon caught (I've seen 186) and 8 [[Hall of Fame|Hall of Fames]]. (See my teams for each of my games [[User:Bulbajer#My Teams|below]])

After Sapphire, I got interested in the [[TCG]], and started collecting (I prefer collecting to [[Pokémon battle|battling]]). Currently I have about two-thirds of the Pokémon up to [[Deoxys|#386]]. I don't collect Generations [[Generation IV|IV]] or [[Generation V|V]] because I have no interest in them and I don't like the new card styles. (And Gen. V Pokémon really stink, imao.) Late sumer 2012, I found [[Cloyster (Fossil 32)|a Cloyster]] in a shop, completing my collection of the [[Generation I|Gen. I]] Pokémon!

Besides Sapphire, I own [[LeafGreen]] and [[Red Rescue Team]]; I play LeafGreen off an on, but I gave up Red Rescue Team. I also own (both literally and figuratively) [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], which I have completed except for a few trophies.

My main areas of interest in Pokémon are the characters themselves and the anime. I have watched the entire [[original series]] twice, which totally dominates the later series. I did follow the [[Advanced Generation]] series up until [[Kids' WB]] cut it (I don't receive [[Cartoon Network]]).

I have known about [[Bulbapedia]] for a long time; I didn't really become interested in it until I started watching the anime over again. I finally joined on February 21, 2010; my first edit was to [[EP117]], to which I added trivia and an error. A bunch of my edits have been undone by more experienced users, but I am getting better, and I aspire to be as wise in the ways of Bulbapedia as any!

== Federation of Pokémon ==

My version of a world cooperation organization - for Pokémon, by Pokémon. Based on the idea of the {{wp|UN}}, but loosely. Delegates have rankings. The Legendary Council includes all [[Legendary Pokémon]] up to [[Deoxys]] (I don't really like [[Generation IV]] that much) and is comparable to the {{wp|Security Council}} of the UN; the General Assembly features non-Legendary Pokémon, with a delegate for each [[type]] at each delegation rank; this can be compared to the UN {{wp|General Assembly}}. General Assembly delegates are elected. For the election, each non-Legendary species of Pokémon nominate candidates, and then each type in each delegation rank vote. Members of the Legendary Council are permanent (with a few exceptions, I assume that there are only one of each Legendary Pokémon).

==Synopsis==

{{incomplete synopsis}}
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are still en-route to [[Olivine City]], {{TRT}} lies in wait. Dressed as scientists, they explain they’ve just repaired the amazing “Poké Pod.” To test it out, {{AP|Pikachu}} is placed in the pod and locked in tight. When Team Rocket reveals their true identity and runs, Ash and friends are in hot pursuit. When they catch up to Team Rocket, there isn’t a Poké Pod or Pikachu in sight! Realizing {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} was hiding for the handoff and has the key to unlock the Pod, Ash chases after it.

In Wobbuffet’s rash retreat, it trips dropping the Poké Pod containing Pikachu and falls into the rapids of a nearby river. Since the only way to release Pikachu from the Poké Pod is to possess the key around Wobbuffet’s neck, it’s an all-out race to reach Team Rocket’s blue bad-boy first. Then Wobbuffet falls onto the thief [[Goneff]]'s truck and is driven away. This proves problematic as Wobbuffet plummets over waterfalls, wanders through forests, gets taken for a ride on the roof of a run-away truck, blows for miles in a hot-air balloon and falls helpless to the helm of a speedboat! Ash and Jessie race to the boat just to get the key then Wobbuffet pulls out the steering wheel and gets back on Goneff's motorcycle. Goneff says he will give back Wobbuffet if the police give him a helicopter to escape. Team Rocket digs a hole to get up to the floor where Goneff is keeping Wobbuffet and fight them.

==Synopsis==
Professor Oak and Tracey are so busy looking after Pokémon, that they don't notice when a helicopter lands near the laboratory. In fact, Noctowl is the only one that does notice it.

Inside the lab, Professor Oak is writing a poem on his computer while Tracey mixes some [[Vitamin#Carbos|Carbos Boosters]] into the Pokémon's lunch. Bayleef helps Tracey to deliver the food to all the Pokémon, which is well received. Tracey tells them that he is mixing a chocolate [[Vitamin#Protein|Protein]] Booster in with dessert, and Totodile dances happily.

Meanwhile, the helicopter Noctowl saw earlier is disguised by...Butch and Cassidy! After locating the lab, they discuss their plan: almost every {{pkmn|Trainer}} who starts their journey in Pallet Town stores their extra Poké Balls there, and so they are going to sneak in and steal them all. As Tracey and Professor Oak are the only people around, it shouldn't be very hard.

As Tracey arrives back at the lab, he hears the doorbell and goes to see who it is. It is the Magikarp Salesman, who immediately tries to sell Tracey the Magikarp he has. He tells Tracey that the Magikarp (which he has just caught) lays golden eggs, making Tracey very suspicious. Professor Oak comes over to see what is going on, and becomes angry when he hears that the salesman is selling Pokémon. Tracey tells him that this is a Pokémon laboratory, and the Salesman then makes a hasty exit. Professor Oak says that Pokémon should not be bought and sold. Tracey says they should report him to [[Officer Jenny]], and then the doorbell rings again. Tracey says he will teach him a lesson, and starts harshly, only to see that it is Delia and Mimey. Delia says she had bought some cookies, but maybe she should come back another time. Tracey says that then was a great time since you can never be too busy for cookies. Tracey invites them in, and Professor Oak welcomes them.

Elsewhere, Bulbasaur is enjoying a walk through the ranch. It smiles on seeing a Jumpluff and Skiploom getting along. Bulbasaur then notices an odd-looking Golem and Nidoqueen. They are actually Butch and Cassidy in disguise. Cassidy thinks she looks ridiculous, but Butch thinks he makes a good Golem. Totodile also notices them, then dances and runs after them. It uses {{m|Water Gun}} on Cassidy and Butch. Butch kicks it away, but Totodile retaliates with a more powerful Water Gun. Butch reflects it, sending Totodile backwards.

Butch and Cassidy take a moment to dry themselves. An Oddish notices the half-human, half-Pokémon things, and runs off to tell Bulbasaur. However, by the time the two get there, Butch and Cassidy have already set off again. Cassidy stands on Cyndaquil, who was taking a nap, and it sends up a huge fire in defense. Butch uses a fire extinguisher on it, and the two leave, just as Bulbasaur and Oddish catch up to Cyndaquil.

Back at the lab, Delia asks Professor Oak if he has heard from {{Ash}}. Oak tells her that he has just reached [[Petalburg City]]. Delia comments that she loves Petalburg City, and that she hopes Ash captures a {{p|Zigzagoon}}. At this moment, Bulbasaur gets her attention by tapping on the window. Oak tells Delia that he is busy, so she tells that Pokémon that he is unavailable. Bulbasaur then wakes up Noctowl, and Noctowl flies off to search.

Meanwhile, Tracey and Bayleef are feeding the new food to the Jumpluff. As Tracey comments on how everyone likes it, Bulbasaur appears and tries to get him to help. Tracey tells it that he can't play right now, but Bulbasaur insists. Rather than wait for Tracey to figure out that something is wrong, Bulbasaur makes its point by pulling Tracey with its vines.

Bulbasaur is right to rush, as Butch and Cassidy have now reached the lab, though not before being noticed by Noctowl. As Butch makes a hole in the window, he comments that {{an|Giovanni}} will be so pleased that they will get a major promotion. Cassidy reaches through the hole to open the window, and they enter the lab. They comment on how much better they than '[[Jessie|Messy]]' and '[[James|Lames]]', which they find so funny that they laugh manically. Remembering where they are, they shut up and start looking around.

Noctowl finds Tracey and the Pokémon, and gets them to follow it. Meanwhile, Professor Oak invites Delia to dinner, and she immediately offers to get Mimey to cook it. They are overheard by Butch and Cassidy, who then sneak over to the Poké Ball room. While they take them all, Tracey finds the hole they made in the window. He immediately rushes over to Professor Oak to tell him that someone has broken in. They search the lab until they reach the Poké Ball room, where they are shocked to see that all the Poké Balls are gone. Tracey says that whoever did this must be professionals. Professor Oak says that it must be Team Rocket's work, but Tracey doubts this as the Team Rocket he knows couldn't pull it off without messing something up, (completely forgetting that he met Butch and Cassidy back in [[EP086]].)

The Pokémon begin to spread the word. Bayleef tells Heracross. Bulbasaur tells the Skiploom and Jumpluff, who tell the Oddish and Bellossom, who tell Kingler, who tells four of the Tauros, who stampede to wake up Snorlax. As all the Pokémon search, Butch and Cassidy made their escape in their costumes, with the Poké Balls inside a container shaped like a Muk. However, a Nidoking spots them and tries to hug Cassidy. When they manage to lose that, Muk turns up and covers the Poké Balls. Meanwhile, Noctowl locates the helicopter and rushes off to tell Tracey.

Muk has now covered both Cassidy and Butch, who can't get up. Then Totodile turns up an uses another Water Gun. It jumps aside from the reflector, and uses another one to knock Butch into a tree. They take this chance to run off, which makes Muk sad, but Totodile happily runs off in the opposite direction.

Bulbasaur uses its vines to uncover the sheet covering the helicopter while Totodile tells Delia and Professor Oak where Butch and Cassidy are. As all the Pokémon rush over to the spot, so do Butch and Cassidy. For a moment, they think they have made it, but then Tracey steps forward, barring the way. Professor Oak and Delia come in behind them, and tell them that they are completely surrounded. Tracey tells them to give up now, or they are in big trouble, but Cassidy tells them that they are the ones in big, big trouble. Butch adds that it is coming to them on the dub, dub, double.
:"Here's our mission, so you better listen."
:"To infect the world with devastation."
:"To blight all peoples in every nation."
:"To denounce the goodness of truth and love."
:"To extend our wraths to the stars above."
:"Cassidy"
:"And Butch"
:"Team Rocket circles the Earth day and night"
:"So surrender to us now, or you will lose this fight"
:"Yeah, that's right."
Now Tracey gets it. This is the ''other'' Team Rocket. After Butch gets annoyed at Tracey and Delia for calling him "Biff" and "Bill" respectively, Professor Oak tells them that they can't steal Pokémon, as Pokémon must be earned. But Butch and Cassidy are no going to just give them back, and so they send out Hitmontop and Houndour. Bulbasaur steps forward to battle, and Oak recognizes Bulbasaur as one of his oldest companions. Tracey sends out Scyther, while Delia sends Mimey forward.

Houndour starts off with {{m|Ember}}, which Mimey reflects with {{m|Light Screen}}. Hitmontop then uses {{m|Rolling Kick}}, but it does nothing to the Light Screen. Next, Bulbasaur and Scyther attack Hitmontop with {{m|Vine Whip}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. While they are busy, Cassidy orders Houndour to use {{m|Bite}} on Mimey, but Mimey hits back with {{m|DoubleSlap}}. Delia comments that battle skills run in the family. Butch orders Hitmontop to use {{m|Rapid Spin}} on Bulbasaur, but Bulbasaur reflects it with another Vine Whip. Hitmontop slams into Butch and Cassidy, and is then hit by Scyther's {{m|Cut}} attack. After complimenting Scyther, Oak orders Cyndaquil to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, which engulfs Butch, Cassidy, Hitmontop and Houndour. Bulbasaur immediately comes in with a {{m|SolarBeam}} which causes an explosion. While Cassidy contemplates that things are not good, Oak comments that Pokémon are sometimes inspirational. Totodile wants to join in, so it uses its strongest Water Gun of the day, making Butch and Cassidy blast off.

All the Poké Balls are accounted for. Oak comments that while the lab doesn't have an advanced security system, the Pokémon are all the protection that they will ever need. The humans thank the Pokémon and the Pokémon cheer. Later, Oak reads his love poem. According to our narrator, Delia felt for sure that it was about her, but then, so did Bulbasaur.

==Major events==
* {{Delia}} battles for the first time on-screen.

==Trivia==

* The bottles of food that Tracey is using to feed the Pokémon have symbols of various {{TCG|Energy|Energies}} from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}.
* This episode's dub title is a reference to the historical event, Showdown at the O.K. Corral, the same as to the episode ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]''.
* Music from ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' can be heard in this episode.

===Errors===
* Although it was left at Oak's Lab, [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Phanpy]] is nowhere to be found.
* During the climactic battle, one of [[Ash's Tauros]] pictured in the background is colored incorrectly.
* When [[Mimey]] is using {{m|Light Screen}} on Hitmontop, the pink circle on its left cheek is missing.

===Dub edits===
*The running gag of Professor Oak trying to find a word that rhymes with Tauros in order to create a love poem for Delia exists only in the English dub, it is nowhere to be found in the original Japanese version.
*The dub has Butch refer to Jessie and James as "Messy and Lames", which were names used in the Mad Magazine parody of the anime in the late 1990s. This joke was also used in [[DP115|a later episode]] by a {{p|Chatot}}.
*The narrator's line at the end of the episode is different in the Japanese version, where he just says that all the Poké Balls have been returned, and the daily peace the Pokémon enjoyed before Butch and Cassidy's attack has returned to Pallet Town.
*For some reason, the Magikarp salesman in this episode was voiced differently than how he usually sounds in the main series. This is the only 4Kids dubbed episode where this has happened to the character in question.
*A pretty long scene was cut out in this episode. Between Cassidy saying "Shoo! Go! No! NO!" and her being thrown into the air was Nidoking advancing at Cassidy (who was disguised as a Nidoqueen at the time), and while she's attempting to climb up a tree to evade him, he gets too close and she kicks him repeatedly in the chest. Nidoking, after regaining his senses, gets enraged at the "Nidoqueen" and he tackles her, beats her up, grabs her, and throws her. The dub has Nidoking chasing her and then cuts to her flying in the air.

'''Pokémon: The Adventures In The Orange Islands''' is the second season of the [[Pokémon anime]]. The 35-episode season showcases the adventures of {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{Tracey}} in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] before they return to [[Pallet Town]]. The season is referred to as "The Adventures in the Orange Islands" by both fans and the released DVD collection due to the original airings having no subtitle, like later seasons would.

It originally aired as part of the 2000 [[Kids' WB!]] Saturday morning line-up. The season began with ''[[EP082|A Scare in the Air]]'', which originally aired on January 8, 2000, and ended with ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', which originally aired on October 14, 2000.

The Adventures in the Orange Islands marked the beginning of the filler arc that spans between the Indigo League and the Johto saga which begins with [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]].

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
With the [[Silver Conference]] and [[Johto]] behind them, {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} are heading towards [[Pallet Town]] and decide to make a stop in [[Viridian City]]. Brock is the most excited, simply because it means that he'll get to see [[Nurse Joy]]. Misty is, as usual, tired of Brock's misguided romantic efforts.

Ash deposits his [[Poké Ball]]s at the [[Pokémon Center]], and asks Nurse Joy if she [[EP002|remembers him]]. However, it turns out that this Nurse Joy isn't the one he met all that time ago, but a new one. She has heard about him though, and tells Misty that she has received an urgent call from [[Cerulean City]]. Misty is confused as to why anyone would be calling her from there.

Getting to a phone, Misty finds out the call is from her sisters. It turns out all three are going on an around-the-world trip that they won in a beauty contest, and therefore need Misty to take over the [[Cerulean Gym|Gym]] while they are away. Misty can't believe what she's hearing, and is angry when Ash and Brock comment on how lucky the sisters are winning the trip. Misty objects about having to take over for her sisters, but Ash, not seeing Misty has other reasons for her objections, tells her that it's only temporary. Nurse Joy then surprises Misty with her [[Bicycle|bike]]! It turns out the previous Nurse Joy was able to fix it good as new. Seeing the bike brings back a lot of memories for Misty. Misty remembers how her journey with Ash began, when he [[EP001|stole the bike and ended up destroying it]]. Ash happily comments on how good Nurse Joy did in the restoration, and that Misty can get back to [[Cerulean City]] even quicker. This causes Misty's feelings to become hurt. After Ash asks why she was so grouchy, Misty runs out of the Pokémon Center. Ash is confused by Misty's reaction, and Brock points out that Misty may have expected to continue traveling with them.

Misty wanders the streets of Viridian City very sadly, and comments on how Ash doesn't seem to understand or care that the trio will be splitting up. However, around the corner are three Trainers waiting for her. They ask Misty if all her friends have abandoned her, angering Misty even further. Misty asks who they are, and the three introduce themselves as Viridian City's top Trainers; Kim, Kail, and Kai the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]]! Misty mocks them by word play on "invincible" with "invisible", telling them to disappear. The leader Kim continues to irritate Misty, who then challenges them to a [[Pokémon battle]].

In a nearby field, Misty and Kim prepare to battle one-on-one. Misty sends out her {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} and Kim his {{p|Hitmonchan}}. Misty orders a {{m|Water Gun}}, and Politoed is easily able to knock Hitmonchan to the ground. Misty mocks them into changing their names (from the Invincible Brothers), which then provokes Kail and Kai to send out their Pokémon, {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}. The three fighting Pokémon surround Politoed, and Misty calls them out on cheating, stating she can't battle fairly three-on-one. However, she is saved when Ash and Brock arrive to make the match fair. Pikachu is able to get Hitmontop with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and Brock sends out {{TP|Brock|Forretress}}, who gets Hitmonlee with a {{m|Rapid Spin}}. Misty is glad to see her friends again, but angrily tells them she could have handled it. Ash and Brock tell her that they knew she could, but they wanted one last battle with the three of them. Ash then tells Misty that she's a great {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Trainer]], and he knows she can win the battle. Misty is touched by Ash's kind words, and with her faith in their friendship restored, she orders Politoed to use {{m|Bubble}} Attack which devastates Hitmonchan. Pikachu and Forretress then continue their assault on the other two, much to the brothers' dismay.

As the battle rages, {{TRT}} appear, and [[Jessie]] and [[James]] comment on the brothers losing. {{MTR}} cuts in, and on his command {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} presses a button which causes two goals to appear on opposite ends of the field. The Trainers all notice this, and much to their horror the goals start to come together trapping Ash, Misty, Brock, the brothers, and all the Pokémon inside. The brothers become distraught, claiming to be on Team Rocket's side. This reveals that the three were hired by Team Rocket to battle and tire Ash and the gang out. However, since they failed, not only will they not be getting paid (not that they were going to get paid anyway), but Team Rocket will take their Pokémon along with the others. Kim however has a pair of scissors handy, and cuts the net away, releasing everyone. The brothers and their Pokémon quickly surround Team Rocket, and begin to cause a fuss over their money, much to Jessie's annoyance. This distraction and the brothers' destruction of the net allow Ash, Misty, and Brock to escape. They order Pikachu, Politoed, and Forretress to triple-team both Team Rocket, the brothers, and their Pokémon, who are all sent blasting off.

With the excitement over, Ash tells Misty how great it was watching her battle, and she thanks him. Ash informs her that he and Brock brought her bike, and Misty's excitement quickly diminishes. On the path towards Pewter and Cerulean, Misty tells Ash not to forget to look after himself and Pikachu. She also tells Brock to try to not fall in love with all the girls, which makes him laugh. She then says that she needs to tell Ash one more thing, "Just keep on doing your best." Ash asks what she means, and Misty sadly responds by saying that it's going to be different without her there.

She then remembers how she first met Ash, accidentally fishing him out of a lake and angrily pointing him in the direction of the Viridian City Pokémon Center. She also remembers all the experiences she's shared with Ash, Brock, and {{Tracey}} as they traveled through [[Kanto]], the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and [[Johto]], as well as the joys, the struggles, the triumphs, the fun, the hardships, the excitement, and most of all the adventure which now has to end.

She also recalls how it was an accident that she met {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, but Ash tells her that he thinks she's wrong that it was accidental that he happened to meet her of all people. He tells her that he believes that no matter what, they were always meant to meet and become friends. Brock agrees, and tells them that after all their adventures they've all become best friends. Misty and Ash happily agree and continue down the path.

Eventually the path splits into three with one route heading towards Pallet Town, another heading towards Cerulean City, and the third heading towards [[Pewter City]]. Ash and Misty start to say their goodbyes, when Brock suddenly butts in telling them that he just remembered that he received an e-mail and needs to return to Pewter City. Ash asks how Brock could forget something like that, and Misty understands that maybe he didn't want to go.

Now the time has come for all three to part ways and head for their respective homes. The three bid each other farewell, and then Misty and Brock set off. With his friends gone, Ash starts to say the words he didn't feel he could, but suddenly Misty and Brock are back in front of him ready to hear it. Ash tells them they shouldn't sneak up on him, and Brock says that they returned to give Ash some presents. Brock gives Ash a small picnic complete with cutlery, while Misty gives him a handkerchief to wrap it in. Ash is touched by their gesture and begins to cry. With that, the three best friends separate, and Ash, very upset about his long-time companions leaving, runs the rest of the way home.

After a good night's sleep, Ash and Pikachu are happily eating their breakfasts, when {{Delia|Ash's mom}} mentions to him that {{Gary}} arrived back into town himself a couple of days ago. Ash is eager to meet up with his former rival and newfound friend, and quickly leaves with Pikachu. Delia comments to [[Mimey]] that she always misses him when he leaves on an adventure.

Getting to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], Ash is dismayed when he learns that Gary has already left. Tracey tells Ash that Gary didn't mention where he was going, only that he woke up saying that he was feeling inspired and quickly left before being asked what he meant. {{an|Professor Oak}} mentions that Gary must have wanted to make a fresh start, as he left all of his Pokémon besides his {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}} at the lab before leaving, and that they have no idea when they'll even see him again.

Gary is just about to leave Pallet Town behind, when Ash catches up to him. The two friends greet each other warmly, and Ash asks Gary what his hurry is. Gary tells Ash that he just feels he needs to keep moving, and that there's still a lot of traveling to do and a lot more to learn about Pokémon. Gary then asks Ash what he plans to do now, and Ash is forced to admit he doesn't know. Gary tells Ash that as he hasn't been home for a long time, that he should wait a while and really think about it. Gary starts to leave, but now it's Ash's turn to give a present to a departing friend, and gives Gary his half of the broken [[Poké Ball]] back. Gary thanks Ash, and sets off on his journey.

Sitting on a tree, Ash tells Pikachu he doesn't like the feeling of being alone, and still isn't sure about what to do next. Suddenly Pikachu alerts Ash, who then looks up in the sky and spots a sparkle. To Ash's amazement, it's {{an|Ho-Oh}}! Watching it fly away, Ash notices it's heading towards the [[Hoenn]] region. He knows that Hoenn has a lot of Pokémon he's never seen before, and a lot of battles awaiting him. Suddenly Ash feels his spirit return, and decides to do like Gary and make a fresh start and head to Hoenn. He starts to run home, but falls into a classic Team Rocket pitfall trap.

Ash comments on how he was not "prepared" for the fall, and Jessie goes into her lines of the motto. James mentions that the pit is extra deep, and the three have gone back to the classic plan of snaring Pikachu. James calls out {{TP|James|Weezing}} to send a {{m|SmokeScreen}} down the pit. Soon the entire area is filled with smoke causing Ash and Pikachu to start choking. Ash tries to think of something to do, and remembers Misty and Brock's final words and parting gifts. He gets an idea, and after fishing them out of his bag, has Pikachu cover its mouth with the handkerchief while he climbs out with the cutlery given to him by Brock. As he climbs out of the pit, he realizes that he is never alone. Ash springs from the pit trap and confronts Team Rocket, informing them that his friends will always be with him. Ash orders Pikachu to hit them with a Thunderbolt, blasting them off yet again. With the dust clearing, Ash looks at the gifts from Brock and Misty, thanking them. He looks up into the sky and comments on the beginning of another journey to become the greatest Pokémon Master.

Back home, Ash tells Professor Oak and Tracey that he has decided to do the same as Gary and leave all of his Pokémon besides Pikachu at the lab. Professor Oak guesses that Ash is heading to Hoenn, and Ash tells him that he plans to meet [[Professor Birch]] in [[Littleroot Town]]. Tracey agrees with Ash's idea because of Professor Birch being famous for his field work. Ash thanks his friend, when Delia arrives with new clothes for her son, having guessed he would be leaving soon. She also has his ticket for the ferry that departs from the [[Seafoam Islands]] to the Hoenn region. Professor Oak gives Ash a brand new [[Pokédex]] that contains all the information on the Pokémon that reside in the [[Hoenn]] region. Tracey also tells Ash he can count on him to take care of his Pokémon while he's away. With a renewed sense of determination, Ash gets ready to set off for Hoenn, knowing that a brand new set of adventures await him.

==Trivia==
* The name of this episode refers to the original catchphrase of the Pokémon series, "[[Gotta Catch 'em All]]!", which would be dropped after the following episode.
* This episode features a three-on-three battle: [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]]' Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee and Hitmontop against [[Misty's Politoed]], [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Brock's Forretress]].

===Errors===
* [[Misty's Politoed]]'s jaw is colored green instead of yellow while the group is caught in Team Rocket's trap.
* Delia mispronounces the [[Seafoam Islands]] as "The Seaform Islands" in reference to the tickets.
* Professor Oak's eyebrows are mistakenly colored gray when he gives Ash his new Hoenn Pokédex.
* Pikachu disappeared when Ash is looking for the Poké Ball he and {{Gary}} fought over in the beginning of their journey.
* During the beginning of the episode, Brock introduces himself to Nurse Joy, even though he thought he had met her before. However, it's possible that he realized before the others that the Joy in question wasn't the one they had met before, given his superior instinct regarding Joys and Jennys.

===Dub edits===
[[File:The gang.png‎|thumb|right|Shot specifically produced for the original Japanese version]]
* The flashback about the good times Misty spent with her friends is different in both versions: the dubbed English flashback pushes {{s|Poké}} while the original Japanese flashback focuses on Misty's accomplishments as a Pokémon Trainer and as a friend, and even ends with a group shot of Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Togepi, Brock, and Tracey (specifically created for this episode). The original flashback plays a really dramatic piece of music, while the dub flashback plays a brand new vocal song:
::''Goodbye, funny how that's such a hard thing to say.''
::''Now it's time to let go but... never thought I'd feel this way.''
::''Promised not to be sad but... we both knew I was lying.''
::''Gotta fight back the tears cause can't let you see me crying''
::''You're more than just my best friend''
::''What makes me misty most of all,''
::''In our final curtain call,''
::''Is knowing that I won't see you again.''
* Brock refers to a [[rice ball]] as an onion in this episode when he is eating one, claiming the "onion" was making his eyes water.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==

{{Ash}} and {{jo|Harrison}} are left with only one Pokémon each. Both {{AP|Charizard}} and {{TP|Harrison|Blaziken}} start off with a powerful {{m|Flamethrower}} attack, which collide to form a giant smoke cloud. As the smoke clears, neither Pokémon is fazed by the explosion. Ash then commands Charizard to use Flamethrower again, which Blaziken easily dodges by jumping high into the air. {{an|Brock}} was surprised to see Blaziken jumping so high. Taking advantage of the fact that Blaziken can't move freely in the air, Charizard uses {{m|Dragon Rage}}, which, to Ash's surprise, Blaziken dodges, then counters using {{m|Quick Attack}}. Charizard flies up to dodge, but Blaziken attacks with Flamethrower. Charizard dodges and counters with another Flamethrower that collides with Blaziken's next attack. Then Blaziken uses Quick Attack again and Charizard is hit by a {{m|Fire Punch}}, but, unfazed, counters with a Flamethrower that hits Blaziken dead on.

Blaziken is ordered once again to use Quick Attack. As Charizard and Blaziken brawl it out, Ash commands Charizard to use {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Brock and Misty cheer as Charizard circles around in the air. As the smoke clears, Blaziken is seen to be down, but the announcer is interrupted as, to the surprise of everyone, Blaziken gets up. With both Pokémon tired out, Blaziken uses one more Quick Attack, which Charizard counters with Flamethrower. Charizard attacks again with Seismic Toss, but Blaziken dodges and smashes Charizard with a {{m|Blaze Kick}}, dealing severe damage to Charizard. Charizard, sustaining the damage, releases a full power Dragon Rage to meet Blaziken's Flamethrower. As the smoke clears, both Pokémon struggle to get up. Eventually both of them get up, but when Charizard is ordered to use Flamethrower, despite the advantage it had, it faints and Ash is therefore eliminated from the tournament.

Later, Ash and crew say goodbye to {{AP|Squirtle}} and [[Officer Jenny]]. In the next match, Harrison loses to another Trainer's {{p|Rhyhorn}}. Ash blames himself for Harrison's loss because Charizard and Blaziken battled so hard, Harrison was unable to use it.

That night, Harrison stayed alone in the nearby river, but [[Ash's friends]] joined him. Brock asked about how his Blaziken is, and Harrison answered Blaziken is going to be fine. Harrison also explained about [[Professor Birch]]. But when they heard somebody screaming, they hurried to the rescue.

Two girls were screaming as Ash and his friends ran over to them. The girls explained there are the ghosts. Brock reassured the girls, and told to use his {{AP|Noctowl}}. And he does, Noctowl uses {{m|Foresight}}, and the ghosts are actually some {{p|Misdreavus}}. Suddenly, {{Gary}} comes in, and explains the Misdreavus appear to be looking for something. Misdreavus goes off somewhere, and the gang follows.

They find another Misdreavus, which is stuck under a tree, and with their combined efforts, lift the tree to free the trapped Misdreavus. Gary runs over and inspects the Misdreavus. Thankfully, it was not injured, and all of the Misdreavus happily depart. Gary told the gang that Misdreavus actually live at [[Mt. Silver|Silver Mountain]]. He also explained that a {{p|Magikarp}} will evolve to a {{p|Gyarados}} and when a {{p|Remoraid}} would evolve into an {{p|Octillery}}, they change form completely. Gary reveals that he wants to be a Pokémon Researcher. After Ash and Gary again exchange their best wishes to each other.

Next morning, the [[Silver Conference]] comes to an end; with [[Jon Dickson]] becoming the Champion of the Johto League Silver Conference.

On the other side, {{TRT}} are still waiting for the customers but because of the Silver Conference coming to a close, no customers can be seen. Suddenly, a huge group of people were heading straight towards the building. But they weren't customers; they were none other than their old customers, who have now cottoned on to their scam. Team Rocket go inside the building and the angry customers are surprised to see a building moving. They flee, and [[Jessie]] explained she had included a movable building feature.

Gary decides to travel through Mt. Silver then go back to [[Pallet Town]] while Harrison plans to keep on with his journey by participating in the [[Indigo League]] in Kanto. The gang decides to go to [[Viridian City]] then head back to Pallet Town. Suddenly, they see the moving building. Team Rocket are happy to see the [[twerps]] and they start to recite their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]]. They surely knew it is Team Rocket, and [[James]] fires a coin missile. As Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} prepare to fight them, Team Rocket raises an electric-proof net to capture Pikachu. Right then, Gary calls out his {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}} and orders {{m|Hydro Pump}}, which cuts the net in half. Harrison's Blaziken comes out next, and uses Flamethrower, setting the robot building on fire. Now, finally, Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Team Rocket, together with the robot building, blast off.

The episode ends with everyone heading separate ways.

* Music from ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' can be heard in this episode.
===Errors===
* After the explosion caused when Blaziken's Flamethrower and Charizard's Dragon Rage attacks collided, when Blaziken is attempting to compose itself, its hands are red instead of gray, and next, its tail is white instead of red. After that the yellow spot on its chest is white.
* The referee repeats that Harrison is from Silver Town instead of Littleroot Town as seen in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes The Sneasel]]'' similar to the mistake in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]''.
* After the 2nd collision of the Flamethrowers from Charizard and Blaziken, [[Vincent|Jackson]] is seen in the stands, but his hair seems to be distorted.

'''Super Smash Bros. Melee''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|大乱闘|だいらんとう}}スマッシュブラザーズＤＸ''' ''Great Fray Smash Brothers DX'') is a fighting game for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and the sequel to the [[Nintendo 64]] title [[Super Smash Bros.]] It, like its predecessor, pits [[Nintendo]]'s many mascots against one another, and this time includes four Pokémon as playable characters, as opposed to the two featured in the previous game. Only {{p|Pikachu}} is available at the start, but eventually {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Pichu}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}} can be unlocked.

===Playable Pokémon===
====[[Pikachu (Super Smash Bros.)|Pikachu]]====
Pikachu is a very fast character and pretty easy to knock of the stage due to its light weight. Pikachu taunts by saying: "Pika, Pika!" and will wave at the players.

======Ground attacks======
*A: {{m|Headbutt}}
*A (while dashing): Running Headbutt
*Up+A: Tail Smack
*Left or Right+A: Pika Kick
*Down+A: Tail Sweep

======Smash attacks======
*Smash Up+A: Tail Somersault
*Smash Left or Right+A: {{m|ThunderShock}}
*Smash Down+A: Electric Flower

======Air attacks======
*A: Pika Roll
*Up+A: Tail Chop
*Forward+A: Electric Drill
*Backward+A: Glider
*Down+A: Electric Screw

======B-attacks======
[[File:Pikachu Melee.jpg|right|thumb|Pikachu]]
*'''B: [[Thunder Jolt]]'''
A ball of electricity will slinky across a level and can cling to walls until it hits something or shorts out. When in the air, a small electric ball will appear and will slinky when it hits the ground.
*'''Up+B: {{m|Quick Attack}}'''
Pikachu will move blindingly fast from one point to another, up to two times. This attack will also slightly damage an enemy if Pikachu passes through one. This is Pikachu's recovery move and after executing it, Pikachu cannot do anything until he reaches the ground or grabs a ledge.
*'''Down+B: {{m|Thunder}}'''
Pikachu summons a cloud that will strike a thunderbolt down towards the ground. The thunderbolt cannot pass through any terrain objects or floors. The thunderbolt will damage any enemies in the air while on its way down. If the thunderbolt strikes Pikachu, any enemies near him will take the most damage.
*'''Side+B: {{m|Skull Bash}}'''
Pikachu will charge up and rocket sideways. Depending on how long the B button is held, Pikachu can fly farther and hit harder. This is not considered a recovery move, so Pikachu can use it again and again while in the air.

======Grab/throw attacks======
To grab an opponent, use ''Z'' or ''R+A''. These are attacks executed only when holding an opponent using the aforementioned move.
*A or Z: Electric Shock
*Forward: Electrocution
*Backward: {{m|Submission}}
*Up: Electric Skull
*Down: Electric Slam

====[[Pichu (Super Smash Bros.)|Pichu]]====
[[File:Pichu Melee.jpg|right|thumb|Pichu]]
Pichu's attacks are identical to Pikachu's, although Pichu damages itself while using attacks that use electricity. Pichu is one of the fastest characters available. One of its problems is that it is so light and small, it is very easy to send it flying. Pichu taunts by saying "Pichu!" and doing a little dance on the floor, either on its back or hopping on one foot. Pichu is one of the two characters who can do two different taunts depending on which way it is facing, the other being Captain Falcon.

======Ground attacks======
*A: Generic attack
*A (while dashing): Headbutt
*Up+A: Tail Hit
*Side+A: Small Kick
*Down+A: Tail Sweep

======Smash attacks======
*Smash Up+A: Head Slam
*Smash Left or Right+A: Sizzle {{m|ThunderShock}} (Pichu will damage itself when using this move)
*Smash Down+A: Head Sweep

======Air attacks======
*A: Pichu Roll
*Up+A: Tail Chop
*Forward+A: Electric Drill (Pichu will damage itself when using this move)
*Backward+A: Glider
*Down+A: Electric Screw (Pichu will damage itself when using this move)

======B-attacks======
*'''B: Thunder Jolt'''
Pichu will damage itself and release an electrical ball that will arc across the ground until it dissipates or hits something.
*'''Up+B: {{m|Agility}}'''
Like Pikachu, Pichu will zip really fast from one point to another up to two times. Unlike Pikachu however, Pichu will not damage anyone if it passes through an enemy while executing this, but instead will damage itself. 1% for the first traversion, then 3% for the next. This is Pichu's third jump.
*'''Down+B: {{m|Thunder}}'''
Pichu will summon a cloud to strike a lightning bolt down towards the ground. Pichu will damage itself if the bolt strikes Pichu. Unlike Pikachu's {{m|Thunder}}, this bolt travels slightly slower and as such, when hitting an enemy, it will shock them up to 4 times, dealing accumulative damage.
*'''Side+B: {{m|Skull Bash}}'''
Depending on how long the player holds B, Pichu will charge up and zoom across to hit anyone in the way. Pichu can hold this charge for slightly longer than Pikachu and is much stronger when fully charged. Pichu will damage itself when using this move.

======Grab/throw attacks======
To grab an opponent, use Z or R+A, then to attack them, press A or Z again or tilt the control stick in one direction. These are attacks executed only when holding an opponent using the aforementioned move.
*A or Z: Shock
*Forward: Electrocution
*Backward: {{m|Submission}}
*Up: Electric Skull
*Down: Slam

====[[Mewtwo (Super Smash Bros.)|Mewtwo]]====
[[File:Mewtwo Melee.jpg|right|thumb|Mewtwo]]
Despite being a legendary Pokémon, Mewtwo is easily knocked around. This is mainly due to the fact Mewtwo is always floating. Mewtwo will never run or dash across the ground, but hover and slide across. Mewtwo has the second highest jump in the game, after Falco. Mewtwo taunts by spinning around and laughing evilly like Ganondorf. Mewtwo can be unlocked by battling for a combined 20 hours, then defeating Mewtwo in one-on-one combat, or by playing 700 battles and defeating it in one-on-one combat.

======Ground attacks======
*A: Dark Flash
*A A: Dark Flame
*A (while Dashing): Torch
*Up+A: Flip
*Side+A: {{m|Tail Whip}}
*Down+A: Tail Sweep

======Smash attacks======
*Smash Up+A: Galaxy Force
*Smash Left or Right+A: Shadow Blast
*Smash Down+A: Shadow Bomb

======Air attacks======
*A: Body Spark
*Up+A: Somersault Tail Hit
*Forward+A: Shadow Scratch
*Backward+A: Tail Flick
*Down+A: Meteor Kick (a Meteor Smash)

======B-attacks======
*'''B: {{m|Shadow Ball}}'''
Press B once to cause Mewtwo to start charging. If he is hit while charging, he will lose the charge, but if he has charged long enough, and is hit, the charge for the Shadow Ball will still remain. Tilting the control stick left or right will cause Mewtwo to dodge in that direction and cease charging, preserving the Shadow Ball. Pressing R or L while charging will cease the charging without Mewtwo dodging. Mewtwo's Shadow Ball can also be left charging indefinitely and will damage anyone if they come into physical contact with the ball. While throwing it, Mewtwo will recoil, significantly if he is in the air. The ball, when thrown, will travel along a zig-zag jagged path until it hits something or dissipates. If the Shadow Ball hits a terrain object, it will erupt causing a small explosion that will cause splash damage to anyone nearby.
*'''Up+B: {{m|Teleport}}'''
Mewtwo teleports once in the direction of your choice. Mewtwo is invulnerable to damage while teleporting, but can still be grabbed. Teleport can't penetrate terrain objects or impenetrable floors.
*'''Down+B: {{m|Disable}}'''
Short range attack that temporary disables the opponent, rendering it dizzy and unable to move. The amount of time the opponent is dazed depends on its current damage. If the player uses this move again when the opponent is already disabled, it will flick the enemy up in the air as if one punched it. If the player uses this move in the air (successfully) the enemy will immediately start to freefall until it hits the ground.
*'''Side+B: {{m|Confusion}}'''
The opponent is flipped around in the air, causing damage. Unlike other moves this move does not degrade in damage if used continuously. If used with the right timing, this attack will also reflect projectiles.

======Grab/throw attacks======
To grab an opponent, use Z or R+A, then to attack them, press A or Z again or tilt the control stick in one direction. These are attacks executed only when holding an opponent using the aforementioned move.
*A or Z: Shock
*Forward: Barrage
*Backward: {{m|Psychic}} - Reverse Throw
*Up: {{m|Psychic}} - Spiral Throw
*Down: {{m|Body Slam}}

====[[Jigglypuff (Super Smash Bros.)|Jigglypuff]]====
[[File:Jigglypuff Melee.jpg|right|thumb|Jigglypuff (Purin)]]
Jigglypuff is bouncy, has average speed, and is one of the lightest characters in the game. Like {{wk|Kirby}}, it is able to fly back onto the stage, but unlike Kirby, after five jumps, it doesn't have an Up+B recovery move. It taunts by spinning on one foot and winking at the camera while calling out its name.

======Ground attacks======
*A: Punch
*A A: One-two Punch
*A (while Dashing): {{m|Tackle}}
*Up+A: Back Kick
*Side+A: Roundhouse Kick
*Down+A: {{m|Low Kick}}

======Smash attacks======
*Smash Up+A: Headbutt
*Smash Left or Right+A: {{m|Jump Kick}}
*Smash Down+A: Split Kick

======Air attacks======
*A: Body Spark
*Up+A: Overhead Punch
*Forward+A: Drop Kick
*Backward+A: Back Kick
*Down+A: Spinning Drop Kick

======B-attacks======
*'''B: {{m|Rollout}}'''
Hold down B to charge up speed and power. Jigglypuff spins in place (always facing the camera), and after letting go of B, rolls forward, hitting any opponent and damaging any container, stage hazard, etc. in its path. Tapping the control stick in the opposite direction will stop Jigglypuff, and allow the player to reverse directions. If the attack ends with Jigglypuff in the air, the player won't be able to recover.
*'''Up+B: {{m|Sing}}'''
Jigglypuff sings, lulling enemies close by to sleep. The opponent's damage determines how long they'll stay asleep. Not recommended on opponents with little damage, as they can fall asleep ''and recover'' in the time it takes Jigglypuff to stop singing.
*'''Down+B: {{m|Rest}}'''
Very short range attack that inflicts 20-30% damage and sends opponents flying. Good for easy KOs if the enemy's damage is high enough, but Jigglypuff must make direct contact with the opponent. Also, the move will only work the second the player hits Down+B; it takes a few seconds for her to recover, leaving Jigglypuff wide open.
*'''Side+B: {{m|Pound}}'''
Jigglypuff lashes out with her arm, inflicting 10-15% damage and popping the enemy straight up into the air. Good for setting up juggles, and also works well as a recovery move once a player has expended all of her jumps.

======Grab/throw attacks======
To grab an opponent, use Z or R+A, then to attack them, press A or Z again or tilt the control stick in one direction. These are attacks executed only when holding an opponent using the aforementioned move.
*A or Z: Right hook
*Forward: Quick Inflate
*Backward: Back Suplex
*Up: Pop-Up
*Down: Roll Around

==Poké Ball Pokémon==
One of the items that can be picked up in Super Smash Bros. Melee is the [[Poké Ball]]; with it numerous Pokémon can be summoned to damage enemies. These Pokémon and their effects in the game are listed below:

<table>
<tr>
<td width=100>{{p|Venusaur}}</td>
<td>Venusaur causes an {{m|Earthquake}} around him that causes all characters touching the ground to go flying.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Charizard}}</td>
<td>Returning from [[Super Smash Bros.]], Charizard uses {{m|Flamethrower}} when released. Exactly as in the original game, he alternates between shooting it left and right.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Blastoise}}</td>
<td>Returning from [[Super Smash Bros.]], Blastoise uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} when released. Like the previous game, Blastoise will be pushed backward a little with each blast, meaning it can fall off if summoned with its back too close to the edge.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Clefairy}}</td>
<td>Returning from Super Smash Bros., Clefairy uses {{m|Metronome}} to use a random attack, but typically does a lot more damage than moves from Togepi's Metronome. Unlike in the original game, Clefairy's Metronome is restricted to three moves, rather than the moves of all other Poké Ball Pokémon. These moves are {{m|Blizzard}}, {{m|Explosion}}, or {{m|Fire Spin}}.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Electrode}}</td>
<td>Electrode uses {{m|Explosion}} after 3 seconds, affecting even the player that sent it out. With good timing, a player can pick up and throw Electrode at the last second.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Weezing}}</td>
<td> Replacing {{p|Koffing}} from the previous game, Weezing uses {{m|Poison Gas}} and juggles any person that comes in close contact.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Chansey}}</td>
<td>Uses {{m|Softboiled}} to release eggs that may contain additional items or heal a small amount of damage. It can be knocked off the screen with a strong attack. Occasionally, the eggs may {{m|Egg Bomb|explode}}.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Goldeen}}</td>
<td>Returning from the original game, Goldeen uses {{m|Splash}}, to absolutely no effect. <td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Staryu}}</td>
<td>Replacing {{p|Starmie}} from the original game, Staryu chases after the nearest opponent, then locks itself into position and shoots with {{m|Swift}}.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Snorlax}}</td>
<td>Flies up into the air and descends over a large area of the screen using {{m|Body Slam}}. Any character who comes in contact with Snorlax in either direction is sent flying.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Articuno}}</td>
<td>Uses the {{m|Blizzard}} attack. Anyone in the attack range when Articuno unleashes this attack will be frozen for a time depending on how damaged they are.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Zapdos}}</td>
<td>Uses the {{m|ThunderShock}} attack. Anything in the attack range will be hit by several electrical surges, and sustain quite a bit of damage. While being affected by this move, an enemy cannot move.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Moltres}}</td>
<td>Any person that comes into contact with its wings are knocked around, and usually sent flying since it is very strong.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Mew}}</td>
<td>No effect, but earns bonus points in one-player and bonus modes.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Chikorita}}</td>
<td>When released, unleashes a fury of {{m|Razor Leaf}} attacks hitting anyone in its path.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Cyndaquil}}</td>
<td>Similar to Charizard, unleashes the {{m|Flamethrower}} attack, but only does so in one direction. It can be hit off the screen with a strong enough attack.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Togepi}}</td>
<td>Has several attacks that are randomly selected with {{m|Metronome}}, all with different effects. The screen can black-out due to {{m|Night Shade}}, opponents can be driven into the ground by {{m|Magnitude}}, fall asleep due to {{m|Hypnosis}}, or end up with {{m|Leech Seed}} </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Bellossom}}</td>
<td>Puts any nearby characters into a deep sleep with {{m|Sleep Powder}}. How long they sleep for depends on their damage.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Marill}}</td>
<td>Runs across the stage using {{m|Tackle}}, juggling any opponents briefly. Like Cyndaquil, Marill can be knocked off the screen if hit hard enough.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Unown}}</td>
<td>Flies across the screen, returning with a large swarm of Unown moving in a random direction. Any character caught in the storm is damaged and juggled. Any one of the twenty-six [[Generation II]] Unown can appear from the Poké Ball, with the same effects.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Wobbuffet}}</td>
<td>Uses {{m|Counter}}, damaging anything that hits it. Wobbuffet and Electrode are the only Pokémon that will damage the character who releases it.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Scizor}}</td>
<td>Similar to Marill's Tackle, except it flies around the screen and causes a lot more damage.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Porygon2}}</td>
<td>Uses a powerful {{m|Tackle}} attack. When it connects, it sends characters flying.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Raikou}}</td>
<td>Uses a {{m|ThunderShock}} attack, electrocuting anything periodically that gets caught standing on the floor within range.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Entei}}</td>
<td>Uses the {{m|Fire Spin}} attack, trapping anyone who lands in it and dealing up to 100% damage.</td>
</tr>

<td>Uses {{m|Icy Wind}}, causing high levels of damage.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Lugia}}</td>
<td>It flies up and then lands in the background, shooting large gusts of wind using {{m|Aeroblast}}.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Ho-Oh}}</td>
<td>Unleashes a spiral of {{m|Sacred Fire}}, dealing up to 150% damage to anyone caught in the blast. Like Zapdos, anything caught in its attack is unable to move.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Celebi}}</td>
<td>Like Mew, doesn't affect the battle, but adds bonus points where applicable. The first time it is seen, a trophy is awarded.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> {{p|Ditto}} (unused)</td>
<td> Ditto jumps up from the Poké Ball and vanishes. Originally meant to make a clone of the player who summoned it to aid them in battle. There is a chance that it won't disappear. When it doesn't disappear, it will stay standing, attacking players that touch it.</td>
</tr>
</table>

==Pokémon events==
Three of the 51 event matches in the one-player mode are Pokémon-themed; the first, called "[[Pokémon battle|Pokémon Battle]]", is set in {{St|Pokémon Stadium}} (see below). The player must battle a Pikachu using only Poké Balls. The second, called "[[Legendary Pokémon]]", is set in the {{sbw|Battlefield (SSBM)|Battlefield}} stage. The player must battle several {{sbw|Fighting Wire Frames|Wire Frames}} and Jigglypuff. Poké Balls are the only item, and they only contain legendary Pokémon (with the exception of Wobbuffet who sometimes pops out annoyingly, a possible reference to [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}). The third event is called "Pikachu and Pichu"; the player must KO two evading Pichu while holding off a hostile Pikachu. This event is a reference to the [[Pikachu shorts|animated short]] ''[[PK07|Pikachu and Pichu]]''.

===Miscellaneous===

* [[Poké Ball]]
* {{st|Pokémon Stadium}}
* [[Professor Oak]]
* [[ZERO-ONE]]

In addition, the four playable Pokémon each have three trophies, unlocked through completing one-player mode with them.

==Pokémon stages==
* [[Poké Floats]]
* {{st|Pokémon Stadium}}

==Trivia==
* Usually, when a character in the Super Smash Bros. series is blasted upward off the screen, the character can be seen spinning off into the distance, disappearing with a winking star. Not only is this very similar to the way {{TRT}} often blasts off, but the {{smw|List of Bonuses from Super Smash Bros. Melee|bonus}} received for sending "all team enemies flying off the top of the screen" is named "Rocket KO."
* Some of the Poké Ball Pokémon, such as Marill and Cyndaquil, keep their Japanese voices, even though they have seperate voice actors in the English dub of the [[anime]].

==Synopsis==
The episode begins with the second match of Group H of the [[Silver Conference]], as [[Macy]] faces off against [[Vincent|Jackson]], the group's third competitor. Though Macy is ready, Jackson is more prepared to showboat than battle, saying hi to {{jo|Marina|Dani}} and {{jo|Jimmy|Yoshi}} to one of the stadium cameras. Once the match gets under way, the three-on-three match is down to a winner-take-all - Macy down {{DL|Macy|Pokémon|Magcargo}} and {{DL|Macy|Pokémon|Starmie}} and Jackson down {{DL|Jackson|Pokémon|Golduck}} and {{DL|Jackson|Pokémon|Quagsire}}, with Macy's {{DL|Macy|Pokémon|Quilava}} and Jackson's {{DL|Jackson|Pokémon|Poliwhirl}} battling for the match. Jackson's showboating gets to the better of him, as he trips over his cape issuing orders to Poliwhirl, leaving Poliwhirl standing as it eats a {{m|Flamethrower}}. This, combined with a Starmie {{m|Thunderbolt}} from an earlier battle, seals the match for Macy. As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} watches from the stands, {{an|Brock}} notes that Macy saved herself from elimination by winning, which also meant that Ash and Macy are tied at the top of Group H (with Ash still having to battle Jackson), and that Ash will only need a tie against Jackson in order to advance, while Jackson must win outright to force a three-way tie. Noting this, Brock also mentions that a second tiebreaker round-robin would be needed should Jackson win outright.

Back at the Athlete's Village, {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} are rekindling their old friendship outside, everyone else moves inside, where they notice Jackson talking to [[Professor Elm]]. As they exchange pleasantries, Jackson explains that Professor Elm had given him {{TP|Jackson|Chikorita}}, his starter, and that it had only recently evolved into a {{p|Meganium}}. Asking why Meganium wasn't entered, Jackson thought that it would have been better for him to save Meganium for the Victory Tournament, which, in retrospect, was a mistake.

Back outside, the dynamic duo sees an apple from a tree, which Bulbasaur tries to grab. At the same time, a Meganium, accompanied by an {{p|Azumarill}}, also see the same apple. The two [[Grass (type)|grass types]] do a tug of war for the apple, which ends up splitting in half. Bulbasaur recovers the larger top half, while Meganium ends up with the bottom half. As the two water types receive their halves, Azumarill throws its half towards Squirtle, hitting it in the face and knocking off the other half of the apple. As Meganium and Azumarill laugh at Squirtle's misfortunes, Squirtle's short-tempered side shows its face. Putting on his [[Squirtle Squad]] glasses, he prepares to pick a fight with the two, only to be restrained by Bulbasaur. As Bulbasaur tries to apologize, Azumarill slaps it in the face, bringing on Squirtle's anger once again. Bulbasaur easily shakes it off, and tries once again to restrain Squirtle once again. As the two leave, Meganium's vine latches on to Bulbasaur, tripping it, and causing Azumarill and Meganium to laugh once again. Now with the better half of the duo also angered, the four Pokémon begin to fight each other.

Inside, Professor Elm updates Ash on {{AP|Larvitar}}, and how it and its mother, {{p|Tyranitar}} living in peace under Ranger Mason's preserve. Just then, they hear of a Pokémon brawl breaking out outside, with Bulbasaur and Meganium involved. Ash and Jackson figure that their Pokémon are involved, and rush outside. Seeing their Pokémon grappling, they try in vain to quell the fighting. Only when {{jo|Harrison}} appears with {{DL|Harrison (Johto)|Pokémon|Miltank}} does the fighting stop, by way of {{m|Heal Bell}}. As both Ash and Jackson thank Harrison for breaking up the fight, [[Officer Jenny]] arrives to see what the commotion was about, and warns that any brawls could get their Pokémon's trainers disqualified. Harrison covers for Ash and Jackson, saying that the four Pokémon were only practicing against each other, with {{Gary}} appearing to back up Harrison's claim. With Officer Jenny gone, Gary and Ash exchange a bit of trash talk, before Gary leaves.

Later, as Ash and company are deciding on the three entrants against Jackson, noting that, in addition to Azumarill and Meganium, he also has a {{Shiny}} [[List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime#Magneton|Magneton]], but Meganium is the strongest Pokémon on his team. Misty advises Ash to enter {{AP|Cyndaquil}} (as a Meganium counter) and {{AP|Pikachu}} (as an Azumarill counter).

The next day, the match begins in a smaller stadium, with Jackson having the first move (showboating off once again). Jackson leads off with Azumarill, so Pikachu leads off. Azumarill leads off with {{m|Water Gun}}, while Pikachu evades with {{m|Quick Attack}}. As Pikachu reverses for the attack, Azumarill dodges at the last minute. After exchanging a Thunderbolt and a {{m|BubbleBeam}}, Azumarill connects with {{m|Icy Wind}} and follows up with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Pikachu, however, grabs the tail just as it connects and reverses with a {{m|Thunder}}, knocking it out.

Next up for Jackson is Magneton. After exchanging Thunderbolts, Ash attempts a speed game. Pikachu tries to do a Quick Attack, but Magneton dodges and uses {{m|Thunder Wave}}, holding Pikachu down. Finally, Jackson ends it all with a {{m|Tri Attack}}. Pikachu is hurled right into a wall, and is out for the count. Sending out Cyndaquil, as Brock remarks that Magneton, as a {{type2|Steel}}, would have the disadvantage. After exchanging a Thunderbolt and a {{m|Flamethrower}}, Cyndaquil manages to use a {{m|SmokeScreen}} into {{m|Swift}}, which hits Magneton as it was attempting to use Thunder Wave. Magneton uses {{m|Double Team}} to evade another Flamethrower. As Cyndaquil tries to slowly sweep with Flamethrower for the real Magneton, it is on the receiving end of the Thunder Wave and Tri Attack combination, knocking it out.

Now down to his last Pokémon, Ash brings out Bulbasaur. Jackson begins with a Thunderbolt, which Bulbasaur counters with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Magneton evades with {{m|Double Team}}. Bulbasaur avoids the same combination that had done in Pikachu and Cyndaquil by using a spinning {{m|Vine Whip}} to mow down the afterimages, which eventually hits Magneton. Nevertheless, the combo is tried again, but Thunder Wave is blocked by a last-minute Razor Leaf, and Vine Whip is used to evade the Tri Attack. Finally, Bulbasaur manages to connect with a {{m|Leech Seed}}, which manages to sap much of its energy. Magneton then falls to the ground due to the energy loss from Leech Seed and Ash uses this chance to order Bulbasaur to use Vine Whip to grab and spin Magneton around. This wraps up the match-up, as Magneton is knocked out.

Bulbasaur and Meganium are now battling for the match, and the prior bad blood is still fresh in their minds. Trading off Razor Leafs and Vine Whips, Meganium comes off as being more powerful as some of Meganium's Razor Leafs hit Bulbasaur and it manages to throw Bulbasaur while locked in the Vine Whip. Narrowly dodging {{m|Body Slam}} attempts, Bulbasaur connects on another Razor Leaf. Evading another Meganium Vine Whip with its own Vine Whip, however, allows Meganium to hit Bulbasaur while airborne with Razor Leaf. However, Bulbasaur manages to reverse Meganium's Body Slam, and uses another Vine Whip to hook on to Meganium's neck and pelt it with more Razor Leafs. Both slowly get back up, and slowly wear each other down by hitting each other in the face with Vine Whips. On the sidelines, Misty wonders why neither are taking time to evade the attacks, in which Brock responds with the fact that to the combatants, the battle may be of pride as well, and thus both are willing to take as much as they are willing to give. As they talk, both Grass types cross counter with their Vine Whip attacks. Getting up one last time, both Pokémon prepare to trade off {{m|SolarBeam}}s, which manage to knock out both Pokémon.

Despite the draw, both trainers congratulate on a battle well done. With the tie game, Ash advances to the Victory Round from Group H. Macy, also in the audience, also cheers Ash on, believing he can go all the way. Back at the {{TRT}} concession stands, Team Rocket has also sold out of its new Thunderbolt badges, thanks to James's knack of what the collector would want. Once again, Team Rocket redouble their efforts into making more money.

Back at the Athlete's Village, the preliminary rounds have been decided. Ash discovers that Harrison advanced from his group, as did Gary. What surprises him even more, though, is that his first round match in the Victory Tournament is against none other than Gary. The battle of the eternal rivals is starting to heat up...

==Trivia==
[[File:EP268 error.png|thumb|right|220px|Error showing a random Razor Leaf about to hit Jackson's Magneton]]
* Another {{Shiny}} Pokémon appears, that specimen being Jackson's {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|Magneton}}.
* Music from [[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]] is used in the introduction to the episode.
* Despite the dub's ''Who's That Pokémon?'' being completely random by this point in the series, Azumarill was by coincidence heavily present in this episode.
* This is one of the few episodes (prior to [[Best Wishes]]) where Team Rocket does not blast off.

===Errors===
* Professor Elm states that Jackson told him that his Chikorita evolved into a {{p|Meganium}}, when Meganium is the evolved form of {{p|Bayleef}}. He could have meant that Chikorita ended up as a Meganium.
* In the English dub, when Jackson's Magneton knocks out Ash's Pikachu with {{m|Tri Attack}}, Brock says that Magneton using {{m|Icy Wind}} limited Pikachu's speed when in fact Azumarill had used it.
* The announcer claimed that Jackson had used a {{p|Psyduck}}, but it was actually a {{p|Golduck}}. It could have evolved off-screen, however.
* Prior to launching its final {{m|Tri Attack}} against {{p|Cyndaquil}}, Magneton appears as if it's going to be hit with what seems like a {{m|Razor Leaf}} coming in from the top of the screen.
* One of the banners in the crowd has Pokémon misspelled as Pomémon.

===Dub edits===
* Two of Jackson's references to {{jo|Jimmy}} and {{jo|Marina}} were removed, and replaced with references to his family back home. In a third, the dub refers to them as "Yoshi" and "Dani," leading to confusion over whether those were the intended dub names.
* When shots are shown of Bulbasaur and Meganium hitting each other in the face with Vine Whip, two of the shots were cut out.

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
The day after the opening ceremonies, at the Athlete's Village Pokémon Center, {{Ash}} discovers that he has been grouped into Group H. {{an|Brock}} further explains that the semifinal round is a round-robin tournament, where each Trainer battles the two others—with three points for a win, one for a draw, and none for a loss. The Trainer with the most points in the group stage will move on to the Victory Tournament. Ash is confused by the details, but hopes to win anyways.

Heading back out, they come across Ash's first opponent—a young girl named [[Macy]]. The two help each other get fired up, nearly getting into a battle in doing so, but just as it begins, Pikachu and Macy's {{p|Vulpix}} are snagged by {{TRT}} in nets. As they make their getaway by bike, Ash and Macy pursue them downhill. As Macy trips and falls over following Ash, Ash tells Macy to leave recovering the two up to him, Macy is smitten by Ash. Meanwhile, Ash cuts off Team Rocket, and has {{AP|Bayleef}} recover the two and send Team Rocket flying with {{m|Vine Whip}}.

As Macy expresses her feelings for Ash (both for saving Vulpix and being smitten by Ash in general), Misty breaks off Macy asking Ash for a lunch date. The two get into an argument, with Misty's preference for {{t|Water}} types and Macy's affinity for {{t|Fire}} types becoming fuel for their argument. When Macy asks Misty if she is [[Pokéshipping|Ash's girlfriend]], Misty backs off, saying that she is only his coach. Macy then tells Misty to get herself out of Ash's personal life, as Macy believes that she has a romantic future ahead with Ash. As Macy and Misty are arguing, Ash runs off, about to prepare for battle. As Macy tells Ash to take her out on a date after a match should she win, it only serves to fuel Misty's jealousy even more.

That night, as Ash is switching around his Pokémon, and Brock attempts to seduce Nurse Joy (only to be dragged off by Misty by the ear once again), Ash decides to make up his team for the match right away, only to be quickly rebuffed by Brock and Misty. Back in their room, they check on Macy and discover that she has Vulpix, {{p|Slugma}}, and {{p|Quilava}}—all Fire Pokémon. Misty is adamant that Ash load up on Water Pokémon, but Ash reminds her that he only has two—{{AP|Totodile}} and {{AP|Kingler}}. On his third entrant for the three-on-three battle, Brock makes an interesting discovery about Macy, and the three ponder who should be chosen. Later that night, Brock finalizes Ash's entries.

The next day, Team Rocket opens a small concession stand, selling painted bottlecaps made to look like Silver Conference souvenirs. Meanwhile, Kingler is summoned for some warm-ups just as three {{p|Voltorb}} are rolling down a hill towards them. Kingler catches them, but the Voltorb shock it, knocking it out. Later, Ash finds out that Kingler would have to sit the battle out in order to recover. Missing one entry, Ash contemplates his next move, while Misty hopes that Totodile will hold up against Macy. Just then, [[Officer Jenny]] shows up in her police bike, with {{AP|Squirtle}} in tow. As Ash and Squirtle exchange pleasantries, Officer Jenny explains that Squirtle was motivated to make itself available after seeing Ash in the torch relay, and that it took some time off from the [[Squirtle Squad]] just for the occasion. Squirtle has no problems being a last-minute addition to the upcoming match, and they hurry off to make a last-minute entry change.

At the B-Stadium, the match begins, with Macy having the first move. Macy sends out Slugma, while Ash responds with Totodile. The battle begins by exchanging {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Water Gun}}, but Macy, anticipating that a Water Pokémon would be sent out, tells Slugma to use {{m|Double Team}} to evade Totodile's attacks. It works for a moment (being able to hit Totodile once with Flamethrower), but the luck runs out as Totodile manages to hit Slugma while evading with a Water Gun. At this point, Macy pulls out Slugma for her surprise entrant, {{p|Electabuzz}}, but anticipating this, Ash pulls Totodile for his surprise entrant, {{AP|Phanpy}}. Misty congratulates Brock on his foresight in assisting Ash to make Phanpy his third entrant, and it pays off when Phanpy shakes off a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Pulling Electabuzz back for Slugma. Ash leaves Phanpy in, and uses {{m|Earthquake}} and {{m|Rollout}} in quick succession. Slugma retaliates with another Flamethrower, but Phanpy blocks with {{m|Defense Curl}}. Phanpy also blocks Slugma's {{m|Body Slam}}, and hits another Earthquake on the recovery. One {{m|Take Down}} later, and Slugma is out for the count.

{{p|Quilava}} is sent in. As Misty comments on how any of Ash's entries will have the advantage against Quilava, Phanpy starts with a Rollout, but is counterattacked with a {{m|Flame Wheel}}, followed by a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Phanpy's attempt at a Take Down is met with another Flame Wheel, knocking it out. Brock and Misty are surprised at the turn of events, believing that Phanpy could have gone for the sweep. Putting Totodile back in, Macy pulls Quilava back for Electabuzz, who would have the advantage against both of Ash's remaining entries. Totodile begins with a Water Gun, but Electabuzz blocks it off with {{m|Light Screen}}. Totodile's {{m|Headbutt}} to break through results in Electabuzz landing a {{m|ThunderPunch}}, knocking it out.

Now down two Pokémon, Ash is forced to send out Squirtle. As Macy prepares to sweep Squirtle out with a Thunderbolt, Squirtle hits its mark with a Water Gun. The Water Gun hit before Electabuzz could fire the Thunderbolt, confusing Macy. Squirtle evades a series of ThunderPunches, and hits again with a Water Gun, which Electabuzz deflects with an {{m|Iron Tail}}. However, a second Iron Tail hits Squirtle, and Macy tries to finish off with a ThunderPunch. However, Squirtle, out of the air, hits another Water Gun in the same spot as the first, interrupting the ThunderPunch. Electabuzz tries to finish Squirtle with another Thunderbolt, but is met with a {{m|Skull Bash}} for its efforts. This knocks out Electabuzz.

The match is down to Quilava with Squirtle, with momentum back on Ash's side. Squirtle opens with a Water Gun, which Quilava counters with Flamethrower and {{m|Swift}}. Squirtle responds to the Swift with {{m|Bubble}}. The projectiles collide, creating a smoke cover for a Water Gun to hit Quilava. Another Bubble attack is met with a Quick Attack, which sends Squirtle reeling, with Squirtle ending up being inverted. As Ash desperately tries to get Squirtle back up, Quilava, seeing an opening goes for a Flame Wheel to finish off Squirtle while it is still vulnerable. In a last minute move, Squirtle uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}, using the spinning attack to not only hit Quilava with the water, but also with its own body. Quilava is knocked out, and Ash wins the match.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has managed to sell all of their stock at their concession stand. Though Jessie and Meowth intend to spend their profits, James instead has a more ambitious idea, convincing the others to sell even more bottlecaps. After the match, Brock tells Ash that he now has firm control of Group H with the win. Depending on the outcome of the second match, Ash could be in a situation in which he only needs a draw to advance (Macy, on the other hand, cannot advance unless she wins her second match and Ash loses the next one to force a three-way tie). They are met by Macy, who tells them that after the battle that her Slugma had evolved into a {{p|Magcargo}} after the match had ended. Hugging Magcargo, she tells Ash that it will always be a reminder of her love for Ash. Macy promptly leaves to prepare for her next match.

==Major events==

* [[Ash's Kingler]] is injured in an accident and is unable to compete in the tournament.
* [[Ash's Squirtle]] returns to his team.

* When Macy shows Ash that her Slugma evolved into a Magcargo she says that it evolved during their battle. Unless it is possible for it to have evolved inside of its Poké Ball, this is untrue.
* When Macy recalls Slugma for the first time, the announcer says that Slugma is done for the day, incorrectly assuming that it had fainted.

'''Address Unown!''' (Japanese: '''ふしぎのくにのアンノーン！''' ''{{tt|Unknown|Unown}} of the Country of Mystery'') is the 263rd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 29, 2002 and in the United States on September 13, 2003.

==Synopsis==
{{Incomplete synopsis}}

Whilst {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} are continuing their journey towards the [[Johto League]] with their accompanied {{AP|Larvitar}}, Misty is accidentally hit on the head by an {{p|Unown}} that fell out of a distorted object in the sky. She temporarily reads Unown's mind and finds out that it was separated from its friends. Unown then comes down with a high fever which Ash, Brock and Misty try to cure. However, when {{TRT}} tries to intervene, its defensive instinct causes it to teleport them into another dimension.

Ash, Brock and Misty then find themselves surrounded by strange green egg-shells, and {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} end up being ten times their usual size. After the surroundings constantly change from {{p|Slowking}} shells to {{p|Elekid}} heads, they eventually discover a black object stuck inside an egg which represents the bad memories inside Larvitar's mind, they all get sucked into it and everything blacks out.

Ash then finds Larvitar suspended in mid air when suddenly black vines come out of the ground and trap Larvitar. An image of the villains who once captured Larvitar's egg then appears and start attacking Larvitar's mother. This seemed to be reason was Larvitar was so afraid of humans. But after a lot of encouragement from Ash, Larvitar eventually breaks free and everything returns to normal.

Unown is now cured and Larvitar is no longer shy towards Brock and Misty, meaning that it had gained confidence to befriend more people.

==Major events==
* {{AP|Larvitar}} finally gets over its shyness towards {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}.

==Trivia==
* This is the first episode in broadcast order for the sixth dub season. However, the "Pokémon: Master Quest" title remains for this and the remaining eleven episodes of the Johto saga.
* The depiction of the Unown dimension is the same as in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''.
* The Latin American dub title is the same as the one given to the {{wp|Twilight Zone}} series and movies.
* The Brazilian Portuguese dub title is a reference to the eyecatch ''[[Who's That Pokémon?]]''.
* The Unown that the gang care for in this episode is the 'G' form.
* When Ash and his friends are seeing Larvitar's bad memories, its voice can be heard [[Talking Pokémon|using human language]].
* Music from ''[[PK01| Pikachu's Vacation]]'', ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Mission]]'', ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', and ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' is used as background music quite a few times in this episode, in fact most of the background music comes from the above mentioned sources.
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 7: Psychic'' copy of [[Pokémon Elements]].

===Errors===
* In many dubs, dubbers mistook {{p|Unown}} for a misspelling of Un'''kn'''own.
* Ash claims they saw an Elekid, Electabuzz, Magby, and Slowking; however, this is wrong. They never saw an Electabuzz in the Unown dimension or the real world, but instead saw an Elekid and heard the Electabuzz song.

Bulbajer: /* Map of Ash's travels in the Orange Islands */ new section

I'd be happy to help out with Project Anime. I'm not very good at writing synopses, but I'll be able to create the character lists for many episodes from Master Quest through Advanced Battle, as well as some Orange Islands episodes and a few Johto Journies episodes. I can also put in errors and dub edits for the episodes. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 23:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm also interested in participating in this project. Specifically, I was wondering if we could add for each episode a "Notes" and "References to past canon" section, similar to the format that the Battlestar Wiki [http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/33 episode guides] have. Other than that, I'm more than willing to provide the usual episode summaries and screenshots. --[[User:Swifty|Swifty]] 13:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd be okay, since I can predict when this episode is going to air in the U.S, and I might be right, when I see the episode air, I'll put the actual date in. --[[User:NeverReturn|NeverReturn]]
16:33, 27 February 2007 (GMT)
:Please avoid all predictions or speculative information. Just because you "might be" right doesn't mean you are, unfortunately, and until we are certain of the real date it's best to have no date at all. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 22:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

What am I gonna do? --[[User:NeverReturn|NeverReturn]]
16:33, 27 February 2007 (GMT)
:If you want to know what you can do to help this project, I can whip up a to-do list in a while. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 23:08, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Darn it! --[[User:NeverReturn|NeverReturn]]
16:33, 27 February 2007 (GMT)

I'd like to help as well. I've already done a few synopsis sections in the original series. --[[User:Farfetch'd|Dux]]
16:16, 2 January 2008 (GMT)

Animé is my specialty, as well as contributing to a lot of it; so I am interested in participating in this project. I mostly make minor edits and perfect parts of the article, but I'd be happy to help in any way I can. [[User:Satoshi101|Satoshi101]] 02:52, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

I just bought 3 box sets of DP Battle Dimension Rofl :L I'll be try to contribute when I've finished watching em all :P
--[[User:JasonTongRulz|Jason Tong]] 14:52, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

I'd love to help out. I can check for spelling and grammar errors as well as add an appendices section listing all major episodes where a pokemon is caught, a gym badge is obtained, etc plus I can probably expand on incomplete entries. [[User:CliveKoopa|CliveKoopa]]

== Synopsis ==
Okay, after the lack of reformatting on one tipped me off, I'm noting that there are several articles which had the same summary as can be found on Serebii.net. However, they are apparently being credited to Altomare Latias. Do we have permission to use this work? (Even if we do, they need editing - they came up because the @#$@#()% things don't use the é in Pokémon...) --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 01:01, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to start adding synopses and any other information I can fill in; I've just started watching the series recently, and am only up to Episode 6, ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', for which I just finished the synopsis. -- [[User:DrGaellon|DrGaellon]] ([[User talk:DrGaellon|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/DrGaellon|contribs]]) 19:20, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I see a different problem. The synopses seem to have WAY too much text now. [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 22:45, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

== Quotes ==
I just had an idea... maybe a Quotes section should be added to episode articles, split into subsection for English and Japanese? Sort of like what Pokemopolis has for their episode guides, except with quotes that are significant for any reason, not just for dodginess. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 16:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

== Pokemon anime section ==

I would also like to help with this. I could do a Pokemon featured in this episode and battles section. You know like a list of Pokemon used in the episode and the moves and pokemon used in various battles. Unsigned comment by {{u|Slyraccoon007}}
:We already have a list of the Pokémon in the episode. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 21:46, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Well I guess I could do the battles and maybe some synopsises. By slyraccoon007 Could you send me a to do list aswell.

== Timeline of events notice ==

See the template I added to [[EP001#Major events|episode 1]]. Yes, this is partially to give the users more exposure to that article, since I noticed only a few articles link to it when it's relevant to pretty much all anime articles. Anyway, thoughts or comments on the template, before I add it to more articles and find that everyone hates it or something? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 19:01, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
:Hmm, I definitely don't hate it, but do you think it's worth the time to put it in on all the articles? The important events for that particular episode are listed there, where they should be. Is it necessary to see all the other events too? --[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]] 19:45, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
::Well, the idea is that if someone wants the information of the major events of many different episodes, but doesn't know about the timeline, that's the section they'll be looking in for all episode articles. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 22:54, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

==Shortcut Templates==
I created a couple of templates to make typing synopses easier:
*<nowiki>{{AP|Pokémon}}</nowiki> creates a link to Ash's Pokémon, but only shows the Pokémon's name: <nowiki>[[Ash's Pokémon|Pokémon]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>{{BrockP|Pokémon}}</nowiki> does the same thing for Brock
*<nowiki>{{MistyP|Pokémon}}</nowiki> does the same thing for Misty
*<nowiki>{{TP|Trainer|Pokémon}}</nowiki> does the same thing for any trainer: <nowiki>[[Trainer's Pokémon|Pokémon]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>{{MTR}}</nowiki> is a shortcut to <nowiki>[[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]]</nowiki>: {{MTR}}
I generally prefer to subst: shortcut templates like these; that way, the final code saved in the wiki is unambiguous.
:::--[[User:DrGaellon|DrGaellon]] ([[User talk:DrGaellon|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/DrGaellon|contribs]]) 04:41, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

== I think this Project needs to include more articles. ==

Well, there is no project that has goal on the anime characters, (like [[Ash Ketchum]]) so I think this project should also help on the articles about the pokémon characters, and their pokémon's pages (like [[Ash's Charizard]]), that would make this project so much more useful. I can't see any reason why it should only focus on the episode articles. After all, it's Project Anime, not Project Episodes. What do you guys think about that idea? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 15:51, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

== Anime Definitions ==
Should we add anime definitions of [[Pokémon]] and moves? I mean the [[Pokédex]] has identifyed almost every Pokémon and in some epiosdes Brock or someone else identifyed moves. --[[User:Theryguy512|Ryguy]].

== I got an idea for the character pages. ==

Attack used should also include the first use of the move. I will make a fake profile for "Darklord's Rayquaza" just to give you an example:

===Moves used===

* {{m|Fly}}
First used: The hell of heaven in that episode Darklord noticed that he didn't need a helicopter and could just use Rayquaza to fly.

*{{m|Hyper Beam}}
First used: Strong training is a good one It trained for 2 episodes, in this one he get's it when he beats the class.

*{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}
First used: Wow, that's fast Rayquaza noticed it can go so fast, in that episode the Rayquaza went extremely fast after Felk's Fearow.

===Back to the discussion===
So what do you guys think? Would that work? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 22:49, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Great idea!!! [[User:Misty-may-dawn rulz|Misty-may-dawn rulz]] 08:15, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Can I help too?--[[User:Dawnfan47|Dawnfan47]] 20:16, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[[Image:Spr 3e 370.gif]]

I like to help too. I've already wrote the synopsis for some episodes. [[User:Jmath|'''Jmath''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''Talk''']] 20:27, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi,my name is Pokebattle493 and I'd like to join Project Anime to help with characters, broadcast dates, etc.[[User:Pokebattle493|Pokebattle493]]

== Broadcast date ==

Don't you think that placing the broadcasted date in the first paragraph is kind of redundant because in the infobox of each episode, it says it right under the picture [[user:Moldy orange|Moldy orange]]

== www.serebii.net ==

May we use the synopsis provided by Serebii? [[User:Misty-may-dawn rulz|Misty-may-dawn rulz]] 08:18, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
:No, because that would be copying someone else's hard work. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 10:58, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
::But most of the pages have exactly the same synopsis as in Serebii, especially the movies! If you don't believe me, then compare the two for yourself. :'''[[User:Misty-may-dawn rulz|Misty-May-Dawn]] [[User talk:Misty-may-dawn rulz|rulz]]''' 06:19, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Then they should be rewritten, I have noticed more than once synopsis copied from somewhere else being removed from here. Just because most articles have something doesn't make it right. Likewise, just because many people believe something is right doesn't make it so.[[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 07:55, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
::::I do believe you, but I also know that copying someone else's work without permission is not alright. That's exactly why there is an FBI warning on each DVD. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 08:02, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::ok, ok, I understand... :'''[[User:Misty-may-dawn rulz|Misty-May-Dawn]] [[User talk:Misty-may-dawn rulz|rulz]]''' 10:02, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::Some of the summaries on this site were given to both Bulbapedia and Serebii to use. (For example, the summaries Altomare Latios did around the Master Quest era. The movie ones also fall under this, though they are far too large for our purposes.) However, we must not take any other synopsis without the writer's permission and Serebii does put a disclaimer to not copy from his site. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 09:57, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::::I promised you all that I am not going to copy Serebii's synopsis. I mean to keep my promise, so don't worry. '''[[User:Misty-may-dawn rulz|Misty-May-Dawn]] [[User talk:Misty-may-dawn rulz|rulz]]''' 10:07, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::::I just wanted to make sure the situation was clear for everyone, especially concerning the ones that are the same. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 10:12, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

== Project Anime ==

I would like to sign up for this project please, and on the main article it said I should enquire on the talk page.
[[User:Jen The Ren|Jen The Ren]] 17:27, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Yea, so would I, but I don't know how, could someone tell me?

== Battle Dimension Synopses ==

Can I do some of the synopses of Battle Dimension?
I'm writing them for my website anyway so it wouldn't be too much trouble. [[User:Rpp|Rpp]] 22:21, 30 August 2008 (UTC)Rpp

Lol. I could watch this go on but thank you. [[User:Rpp|Rpp]] 00:20, 3 September 2008 (UTC)Rpp

== Paragrahs ==

I've been noticing that a lot of anime episode articles have long paragraphs in the Synopsis and I find it pretty uncomfortable. Shouldn't there be put a limit on how long a paragraph can be in each episode article? Each paragraph should take short time to read, but really I've seen too many episode articles with long paragraphs. What I suggest is a limit, I suggest a limit to how long each paragraph in episode articles can be, what do you guys think? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 22:57, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
:Ther is no limit on Paragraphs written in books and English, The problem here is that so few of them are written well... the ones that are written well have an adequate paragraph length. It is the ones that need revized anyway that poae the problem, but when they are revised for actual content, they can have the paragraph length reduced. It isn't something we can really pose a limit on. ''[[User:Moldy orange|'''Moldy''']][[User talk:Moldy orange|'''Orange''']]'' 23:01, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I decided to put my name on the list and become a participant of this project. I'm myself watching the whole series from the beginning again, and I'm now running at EP074, so I thought I could write synopses for the episodes that are missing one. I also made a list about the episode articles needing help with the synopsis, if you'd like to see if you could help with any of those episodes.

I have been putting in the <nowiki>{{tense}}</nowiki> template on every episode that needs it and . . . EVERY EPISODE SEEMS TO NEED IT!!! I have been doing this to help Project Anime a ''little'', but turns out this is almost like one big task. I think it's about time I get some help on this. Nearly every episode needs this tag and I can't do this all on my {{tt|own|well I could but it would take forever}}. So can someone who has the time help me out with this. And then once every eposide that needs the tensing template has the tensing template we need to fix the pages which I will need help with. *puff* This is almost like a project in itself. Then of course I'll be working on completing incomplete synopsises that need to be completed. '''''Someone HELP me'''''

== list of appearances for each character ==

I think it would be useful to have a list of appearances for each anime character (excluding CODs). For example, the article on [[Gary Oak]] does not currently mention that he appears in the episode ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. It's not necessarily about adding a summary of each episode to the character summary, we just want to have a bulleted list, like the ones they have on Memory Alpha (yeah I'm a trekkie too). This would admittedly be quite a big job, although we only need to really concentrate on the recurring characters (i.e. those listed in [[Template:Animecharacters]]).

The problem is that the background is simply around the text, not in the whole of the (rowspanned) cell. I like this, but would prefer the newer design of, say, [[template:kanto]] or [[template:NPC]]. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 22:27, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. My name is '''Jerry''', aka '''Bulbajer'''. My favorite [[Pokémon]] is [[Bulbasaur]], so that's where my username comes from. I'm a typical high school geek that hides his nostalgic love for Pokémon.

I was first introduced to the franchise through the [[anime]]. [[Ash]] was making his journey through [[Johto]] when I first tuned in. Later, I received my first Pokémon [[TCG]] cards (from the [[Gym Heroes]] and [[Gym Challenge]] series). In around fourth grade, Pokémon and {{wp|Yu-gi-oh!}} were all the rage among boys, and after losing interest in the latter, I purchased [[Sapphire|Sapphire version]] for the [[Gameboy Advance]]. I don't play it much anymore, but I still visit my 150 Pokémon caught (I've seen 186) and 8 [[Hall of Fame|Hall of Fames]]. (See my teams for each of my games [[User:Bulbajer#My Teams|below]])

After Sapphire, I got interested in the [[TCG]], and started collecting (I prefer collecting to [[Pokémon battle|battling]]). Currently I have about two-thirds of the Pokémon up to [[Deoxys|#386]]. I don't collect Generations [[Generation IV|IV]] or [[Generation V|V]] because I have no interest in them and I don't like the new card styles. (And Gen. V Pokémon really stink, imao.)

Besides Sapphire, I own [[LeafGreen]] and [[Red Rescue Team]], and I'm working on both. I also own (both literally and figuratively) [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], which I have completed except for a few trophies.

My main areas of interest in Pokémon are the characters themselves and the anime. I am currently watching the entire [[original series]] for the second time, which totally dominates the later series. I did follow the [[Advanced Generation]] series up until [[Kids' WB]] cut it (I don't receive [[Cartoon Network]]).

I have known about [[Bulbapedia]] for a long time; I didn't really become interested in it until I started watching the anime online. I finally joined on February 21, 2010; my first edit was to [[EP117]], to which I added trivia and an error. A bunch of my edits have been undone by more experienced users, but I am getting better, and I aspire to be as wise in the ways of Bulbapedia as any!

== Federation of Pokémon ==

My version of a world cooperation organization - for Pokémon, by Pokémon. Based on the idea of the {{wp|UN}}, but loosely. Delegates have rankings. The Legendary Council includes all [[Legendary Pokémon]] up to [[Deoxys]] (I don't really like [[Generation IV]] that much) and is comparable to the {{wp|Security Council}} of the UN; the General Assembly features non-Legendary Pokémon, with a delegate for each [[type]] at each delegation rank; this can be compared to the UN {{wp|General Assembly}}. General Assembly delegates are elected. For the election, each non-Legendary species of Pokémon nominate candidates, and then each type in each delegation rank vote. Members of the Legendary Council are permanent (with a few exceptions, I assume that there are only one of each Legendary Pokémon).

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are still on the road back to [[New Bark Town]] where they can deliver the [[Pokémon Egg]] requested by Professor {{prof|Elm}} and so Ash can register for the [[Johto League]] [[Silver Conference]]. As Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} eat their lunch, the trio try and guess what kind of Pokémon with hatch from the Egg. Just as Brock suggests it's going to be a [[legendary Pokémon]], the Egg begins to glow as if it is about to hatch, but it's only a false alarm. As Ash tries to persuade the Egg to hatch, {{TRT}} spy on them from the bushes and then begin to scheme how to get it.

At that moment, the Egg begins to glow again from under Ash's shirt. When Ash pulls his shirt up, it reveals a {{p|Larvitar}}. {{AP|Larvitar}} isn't moving, and Brock checks its temperature and finds that its body temperature is way too low. The trio decide it's best if they got Larvitar to a [[Pokémon Center]], and promptly go to a nearby one.

[[Nurse Joy]] can't find anything wrong with Larvitar and calls Professor Elm who is currently meeting up with Professor {{an|Professor Oak}} and {{Delia}} so they can see Ash off to the Silver Conference.

Trouble is brewing back at the Pokémon Center: not only can Nurse Joy not get a hold of Professor Elm, but a storm is brewing and Larvitar isn't getting any better. As Nurse Joy finds that Larvitar is getting worse, the power goes out. Nurse Joy goes to check on the generator but falls down one of {{TRT|Team Rocket's}} pitfalls. [[Jessie]] explains to her that now they're going to kidnap Larvitar. Inside, the trio wonder where Nurse Joy is. Jessie, dressed up as Nurse Joy, and [[James]], disguised as a surgeon, tell them that they need to take Larvitar to the hospital. Ash almost does it, but Brock stops him and tells him that it's clearly ''not'' Nurse Joy. Jessie reveals herself and James tries to take Larvitar by force, but {{AP|Pikachu}} uses {{m|ThunderShock}}, sending Team Rocket running off.

Misty and Brock go rescue Nurse Joy from the pitfall, but Nurse Joy explains that the generator's blown beyond repair. Inside, Ash uses {{AP|Cyndaquil}} to heat Larvitar with the heat on its back.

Back in New Bark Town, Professor Elm finally gets Nurse Joy's email about Larvitar, and immediately hit the road to the Pokémon Center with Professor Oak and Delia. The professors tell them that they'll take care of Larvitar while the others eat breakfast. The professors manage to get Larvitar's body temperature up and make it conscious, but Larvitar still doesn't respond to external stimuli and it hasn't eaten, making it obvious a problem still exists. Just as everyone leaves to eat breakfast, Larvitar opens its eyes slightly.

At the table, Ash tells the others of a dream he had the night before where he saw into the eyes of Larvitar as an Egg. The Egg was tossed around in traffic and rolled under the feet of people on a sidewalk. Professor Elm says that must be the cause for its unresponsiveness. Ash asks Professor Elm if he can take Larvitar outside for a while, and Elm says it's alright to.

Outside, Ash shows Larvitar how great the world is, showing it a field, the ocean, and the sky, but as Larvitar takes it in, Team Rocket shows up and invites Larvitar to come lay on a pile of hay with them. After Ash tells them that Larvitar won't, Team Rocket dives into the hay and comes out with a vehicle with a pair of arms and a giant net on it. The arm grabs Ash, who lets go of Larvitar. Before Team Rocket can steal Larvitar, Ash tells Pikachu to get Larvitar away, but Larvitar won't move.

Pikachu tries to shock the vehicle, but it's shock proof, and Team Rocket grabs Pikachu with the other hand. With the net, they go for Larvitar, but a herd of {{p|Jumpluff}} get in the way so they can't catch it. As Larvitar watches the Jumpluff bounce on the ground, it remembers bouncing through the streets as an Egg and uses {{m|Screech}}. With Team Rocket temporarily distracted, Ash tells Larvitar to run, but instead, it uses {{m|Hidden Power}} to levitate the vehicle and free Pikachu and Ash. Larvitar sends Team Rocket blasting off, and the others watch in astonishment.

Ash congratulates Larvitar and tells him there's nothing to be afraid of when he's with his friends. With Larvitar opening up to the world, the group drives back to New Bark Town and Ash registers for the Silver Conference at a Pokémon Center.

Now on the road to [[Mt. Silver]], Elm has entrusted Ash with Larvitar so he can deliver it to the Pokémon Preserve Center there, where the Egg was originally found. The episode ends with the three sent off to Mt. Silver.

==Major events==

'''Just Add Water''' (Japanese: '''リュウグウジム！みずのなかでバトルだぜ！''' ''{{tt|Ryūgū|Coastline}} Gym! Battle in the Water!'') is the 256th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 11, 2002 and in the United States on July 12, 2003.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} are on their way back to [[New Bark Town]] when Brock detects an ocean nearby. Misty promptly runs off in the direction Brock indicates. Once they reach the ocean, Misty sends out her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}} and {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} for a break in the ocean water. {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} wanders towards the water, but a slight splash is enough to terrify it to the verge of tears, and Misty gently reminds it that it can't swim.

They continue along the beach, and they see a sign for a synchronized swimming event. Brock becomes very excited, imagining pretty girls in bathing suits performing alongside Pokémon. He promptly takes off, forcing Ash and Misty to run after him. He runs up to a boy on the beach and asks about the event, and the boy informs him that it's just about to start. The {{Ashfr|friends}} head into a huge stadium and sit down, and Brock becomes even more excited when Ash comments on whether it will be like the [[Cerulean Gym]], and lavishes praise on [[Daisy]], [[Lily]], and [[Violet]]. As the show starts, a {{p|Mantine}}, {{p|Qwilfish}} and {{p|Lanturn}} leap from under water, followed by a young man, much to Brock's dismay.

Ash and Misty watch the show whilst Brock sobs into his arm, the former two complimenting how the boy works with his Pokémon, especially Qwilfish. {{TRT}} is standing up above the stadium watching, also impressed by the skill of the Pokémon. Meowth then spins a tale about how impressed {{an|Giovanni}} would be with the Mantine, Lanturn and Qwilfish to cheer him on in his morning swim.

Ash and Misty heap praise on the boy after the show, with Misty talking over Brock's requests for pretty girls. The boy introduces himself as [[Dorian]] who is the Leader of the Coastline Gym. He gives the group a tour, and the trio see photos of Dorian with Misty's sisters. Dorian explains that he has been to the Cerulean Gym many times and dreams of having a Gym just like it, as a lover of Water Pokémon. Dorian explains that for the time being, Coastline is just a private Gym, which explains to Brock and Ash why they'd not heard of it before. Misty, however, is more eager as to whether her sisters mentioned anything about her to Dorian. Much to Misty's horror, all Dorian had heard was that the girls were sad that the baby of the family was such a loser. Misty bites everyone's heads off and the argument turns to who loves Water Pokémon the most. Dorian disputes Misty's claim, and she challenges him to a battle, seeking to prove who the best trainer from Cerulean really is.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is in their Magikarp submarine, when they come under attack from Dorian's Pokémon. The submarine springs leaks and they sink. Dorian shows the friends his underwater stadium designed to give Water Pokémon the chance to reach their full potential, which Misty praises, commenting that she's always dreamed of having a real underwater battle. Ash notices an odd looking Magikarp float past, chased by Dorian's Pokémon, but Misty immediately recognizes it as Team Rocket's submarine. The submarine reaches the surface, and the trio leap out for air. They find themselves confronted by Ash, who sends {{AP|Totodile}} out to blast the sub with {{m|Water Gun}}. Mantine and Lanturn join in with {{m|BubbleBeam}} and Water Gun respectively, sending Team Rocket blasting off.

Dorian asks Misty if she's ready for the battle, but Ash pleads to be allowed to give Totodile a run before Misty battles. Misty reluctantly agrees, and they descend into the underwater stadium, where Brock acts as a referee. Totodile goes up against Lanturn, both managing to dodge each other's Water Gun, leading Misty to note how quickly Totodile moves underwater. Totodile is ordered to use {{m|Scratch}}, but Lanturn uses {{m|Supersonic}} and confuses it, causing it to flip upside down as if that were the normal orientation. Lanturn then hits Totodile with {{m|Take Down}}, before knocking it out of the water with a follow up move. Both airborne, Lanturn flips around in midair and uses Take Down again, knocking Totodile back into the water and slamming it against the ocean floor. Misty points out that Ash's comfortable style of battling won't apply to a place where Lanturn can swim above and below his Pokémon. Totodile gets up and uses {{m|Slash}} on Lanturn, striking it hard. However, Lanturn counters with {{m|Spark}}, hitting Totodile and shocking it, before ramming it with Take Down and knocking it out, giving Dorian the match. Brock tells Ash that Dorian was just much more experienced in the gym setting.

Misty then challenges Dorian to a three on three battle. Misty calls on her Goldeen, but again Psyduck pops out. However, upon realizing it is underwater, it frantically scrambles for the surface and reaches the edge of the pool. Misty sympathizes with Psyduck and they get a flotation ring out so it can still enjoy the water. Back underwater, Misty's Goldeen goes up against Qwilfish. Goldeen's Horn Attack is dodged by Qwilfish, who in turn strikes with Tackle. Goldeen managed to use {{m|Agility}} to dodge Qwilfish's Tackles, and then landed a Horn Attack. Goldeen then uses Supersonic, but Qwilfish shrugs off its effects and fires {{m|Pin Missile}}. Goldeen manages to reflect those coming its way by spinning its tail. Goldeen aims a {{m|Horn Drill}}, which Qwilfish dodges. Qwilfish uses Pin Missile, hammering Goldeen from behind. A final Take Down is enough to knock Goldeen out and win the round for Qwilfish.

Promising something completely different, Misty sends Corsola out to battle Mantine. Misty mutters to herself that she cannot afford to lose. Outside, Team Rocket is clad in scuba gear, preparing to make another attempt. Mantine uses Supersonic on Corsola, but Corsola shrugs it off and rams Mantine with Tackle. Mantine recovers with two {{m|Wing Attack}}s, each striking Corsola hard. Mantine performs a hybrid {{m|Agility}}/Tackle, dodging Corsola's {{m|Spike Cannon}} and then ramming it into the rocks. Much to Dorian's surprise, Misty orders {{m|Recover}}, then full strength Corsola uses Spike Cannon again. This strikes Mantine, and a follow-up Tackle is enough to win the round for Corsola and Misty, evening the score. Dorian recalls Mantine and comments that Misty is pretty powerful after all.

In the third round, Dorian's Lanturn steps up, but a torrent of water interrupts the battle, knocking everyone over. As expected, Team Rocket arrive in a giant crab robot and recite their motto. One of the claws opens and begins to draw water in, sucking the Trainers forward. Totodile and Qwilfish attempt to stop the robot, but Team Rocket amp up the suction power and both Pokémon are captured. Mantine and Lanturn are also helpless to resist. Misty sends out Corsola, outside of the suction, and it Tackles the arm, pointing it skyward. Psyduck and its flotation ring are then sucked underwater. Misty desperately leaps forward and pushes Psyduck aside, but is sucked into the machine herself. Dorian and Corsola rush to her aid, but they are also sucked in. Team Rocket then reverse the claws, and the left claw ejects water, blowing Brock, Ash and Pikachu away. When the dust clears, the giant robot has vanished, and Ash vows to come and rescue them.

Above water, Ash sends {{AP|Noctowl}} out to try and find them. It spots something, and Ash and Brock run after it. Psyduck, not wanting to be alone, toddles after them. On the surface, Jessie and James gloat over their prize, whilst Misty and Dorian fight the ropes imprisoning them. Ash and Brock quickly arrive, led by Noctowl. Team Rocket send out {{TP|James|Victreebel}} and {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, and Ash is about counter with {{AP|Phanpy}}, but Psyduck leaps into the fray first, angry and determined, unlike the usual attitude it displays. As Brock unties the others, Ash wonders if Psyduck wants to battle. After a pause, Psyduck turns back around and looks confused.

Furious, Jessie orders Arbok to {{m|Bite}} Psyduck, clamping onto its head, whilst Victreebel fires {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Misty jumps up and tells Arbok that it's not biting hard enough. With a huge headache, Psyduck uses {{m|Confusion}}, sending Victreebel and Arbok flying back at their trainers. Psyduck then uses {{m|Psychic}} to send a powerful force of energy at Team Rocket, destroying their robot and sending them blasting off. Dorian is left in awe of Psyduck's strength.

Ash, Misty and Dorian reunite with their Pokémon, and Dorian comments again on Psyduck, who merely looks confused at the compliment. Misty says that it's a shame that they couldn't finish their battle, but Dorian says that had she used Psyduck, she would have easily won. With the score at 1-1, the two decide to call it a draw. Dorian tells Misty that he thinks she's every bit as good as her sisters, and Ash and Misty both say how much they've learned from being there. Ash promises to tell everyone about the Coastline Gym when they reach the Silver Conference. Dorian thanks them sincerely, and promises to pass on how well Misty is doing to her sisters when he visits Cerulean City. The group bid farewell to Dorian and continue on their way.

==Trivia==
*This episode was the last to air before the Japanese debut of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''.
*This episode marks the first time a main character other than Ash challenges a Gym Leader of any sort, as Misty challenges Dorian in this episode. The second main character to do this is {{an|Dawn}}; although, unlike Misty, Dawn challenges an official Gym Leader.
**It also marks the first and so far, only time [[Ash's friends|a main character]] other than Ash does not lose against a Gym leader in battle. Dawn, when she challenged [[Maylene]], lost against her in battle. However, if one takes Ash's draw against Maylene as a "win", it can be argued that Misty technically won.
*In this episode, Team Rocket uses a [[Team Rocket's mottos#Just_Add_Water_motto|variation]] of their motto.
*This is one of the few times that Misty and Psyduck show affection for one another - Misty saves Psyduck from Team Rocket's mecha, and Psyduck willingly challenges Team Rocket after they kidnap Misty.
*This episode first aired in the United States exactly one year and one day after its Japanese airing.

===Errors===
*When Misty throws her Poké Balls to let out her Pokémon, only three balls are seen and five Pokémon came out.
*After Misty says "That was great Goldeen, take a long rest", Goldeen's Poké Ball turns into a Lure Ball for a split second. The next Pokémon she uses is Corsola.
*At the end of the episode, when Misty and Dorian are speculating about what would have happened if Team Rocket hadn't interrupted their battle, Dorian mentions the possibility that Misty could have called out Psyduck. Psyduck was already out, floating in an inner tube on the surface, and its panic after popping out underwater made it very unlikely it would be able to battle anyway.

==Synopsis==
{{Incomplete synopsis}}
{{Ash}} plans to go to [[New Bark Town]] to register for the Johto Silver Conference now that he has all eight badges even though the Silver Conference is in three months. {{TRT}} has plans of their own, they decide to steal Ash’s [[badges]] for money or to enter the Conference themselves. They are successful in stealing his badges and run away with them. Meanwhile, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} meets a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Wynaut}} in the woods who steals the badges from Team Rocket. When Ash realizes his loss of badges he goes through the list of the Gym leaders he fought to get them.

Team Rocket think a {{p|Wooper}} stole the badges, so they try to find one. While Ash tries on his own to try to find the badges. {{AP|Noctowl}} and {{AP|Bayleef}} find Wynaut and the badges and some berries it has in a box. But when Team Rocket find Bayleef with the badges, they attack Bayleef and escape with the badges. [[Clair]] comes in with [[Clair's Dragonair|Dragonair]] to chase the Rocket balloon. When Ash gets his badges back he realizes he’s missing his Rising Badge, and Wynaut appears holding the badge. It hands it to Bayleef and escapes without Ash seeing it. Now that Ash has all eight badges, Clair tells Ash the directions to New Bark Town to register for the Johto League Silver Conference.

==Trivia==
* On the corresponding page that used to be on [[Pokémon.com]], the episode is called ''Why? Wynaut!'' instead of ''Why? Why Not!'' However, on the title card in the episode itself the latter title is printed. Therefore, this episode has two titles. Moreover, some dubs, like Iberian Spanish, use translations of the second title whereas others, like Latin American Spanish, use the first.
* Throughout the entire Blackthorn City arc, {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Wynaut}} is never seen by a human. This perhaps accounts for its perceived rarity outside of Hoenn.
* This is one of the few times in the anime a member of {{TRT}} (in this case, [[Jessie]]) refers to {{Ash}} by his name and not "twerp" or "brat". The first time was in ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'' when Jessie was talking about how the crowd was cheering for Ash, and the second time was in ''[[EP245|Will the Real Oak Please Stand Up]]'' when she addresses {{an|Brock}} as "Brock".
** All three times Jessie was the one who would say their names.
** She was in disguise during the latter two incidents.
* This is the only episode where a Pokémon from a future Generation is used in ''Dare da?''.
* Music from ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]'' can be heard during Wobbuffet's fantasy.
=== Errors ===

* When remembering his badges, Ash says he received the {{badge|Glacier}} twice. The first one was actually the {{badge|Zephyr}}.
* Meowth was holding the leaf that had Ash's badges in it, then it shows Meowth holding nothing, and then holding the leaf again.
* Ash says he won his Plain Badge from Whitney in the Goldenrod Gym, however this is incorrect as he won it on her uncle's Miltank farm. Though its highly possible he was referring to how she is the Gym Leader at Goldenrod.

Ash starts off with Snorlax’s {{m|Hyper Beam}} and Clair counters with Kingdra’s {{m|Agility}}. Kingdra attacks Snorlax, but it doesn't work. Clair then uses Kingdra’s {{m|Swift}}, but that just bounces off again. Ash tries to use Snorlax’s {{m|Body Slam}}, but Kingdra dodges with Agility. Kingdra attacks Snorlax again, but again Snorlax is undamaged. Clair notes that these attacks aren't working, so she uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Ash tells Snorlax to dodge it but it is unable to dodge it. Clair orders another Hyper Beam which Snorlax avoided by going under water. Ash congratulates it on its quick thinking. Ash orders a {{m|Body Slam}} but as it goes underwater it weighs much less. Kingdra uses this to its advantage and avoids being crushed. She tells Kingdra to use Hydro Pump once Snorlax comes up for air. This worries Misty and Brock, but Ash tells Snorlax to jump out of the water. It goes up into the air and Kingdra uses Hydro Pump. Ash orders Snorlax to lean back and it manages to successfully dodge the attack. Clair then orders Kingdra to use Swift, but Ash tells Snorlax to just take it. Clair orders another Hydro Pump, but it only does a little bit of damage. Kingdra is also starting to look tired. Brock says that Ash’s plan must be to just wear Kingdra out, as Snorlax has a lot of endurance. Clair orders another Hyper Beam, but Snorlax dodges it once again by going underwater. Ash then orders Snorlax to use {{m|Ice Punch}} knocking Kingdra out of the match.

Clair recalls Kingdra congratulating it for a job well done. She then sends out {{p|Gyarados}}. Snorlax seems to be a little tired after the match with Kingdra. Clair orders Gyarados to use Hydro Pump, while Snorlax uses Hyper Beam. Both attacks cancel each other out. Gyarados then uses {{m|DragonBreath}}, which hit Snorlax, paralyzing it. Clair then orders Gyarados to use Hyper Beam. Snorlax is slammed by the beam and it falls, fainted. Ash then chooses {{AP|Pikachu}}.

Gyarados goes in to {{m|Bite}} Pikachu, but Pikachu uses Agility to get out of the way. Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} but before it could attack, Gyarados uses DragonBreath, tiring Pikachu. Gyarados then tries to finish it off with a Hydro Pump, which misses Pikachu as it uses Agility to get out of the way. As Gyarados goes in for another Hydro Pump, Pikachu uses Agility to race up the Hydro Pump to get into point-blank-range of Gyarados' face. It then uses a Thunderbolt to knock Gyarados out.

Clair then releases her strongest Pokémon: Dragonair. Pikachu then uses Thunderbolt, but Dragonair dives under the water. Clair orders a Hyper Beam, which zooms out of the water and smashes into Pikachu, taking it out. Ash then sends out {{AP|Charizard}} into battle. The roof of the stadium then opens so that the two Pokémon could have a sky high battle.

Charizard goes in to attack Dragonair. Clair tells it to dive under the water. From under the water, Dragonair spins to create a massive twister, which bursts out of the water and smashes into Charizard. Charizard then uses {{m|Flamethrower}} on the lake drying it entirely. Dragonair is now unable to dodge by diving in the water. Clair then orders Dragonair use {{m|Iron Tail}}. Charizard dodges and grabs Dragonair. Ash then orders a {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Charizard starts to spin around the earth and is about to throw Dragonair when it uses {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Charizard is hit bad and it falls to the ground. But on Ash's encouragement Charizard gets up and flies toward Dragonair. Dragonair then tries to use another Iron Tail. Charizard grabs it again and uses Seismic Toss just as before. Dragonair once again uses Dragon Rage but Charizard uses Fire Spin while in the twister! As Charizard is holding on to Dragonair, it is unable to escape. It then uses a fiery Seismic Toss. Charizard flies from the flames, roaring with victory. Clair orders Dragonair to get up. It tries, but collapses again. Clair then pulls out the Rising Badge and hands it to Ash, who says his usual line and Pikachu jumps for joy.

Back at the Dragon Cave, {{TRT}} enters slowly. They approach the Dragon Fang, but see {{jo|Liza}} and [[Charla]]. Charla goes in and sends them blasting off again. Liza then returns to the Gym to find that Ash has won the Rising Badge. Clair then explains that Ash should head to Mt. Silver, where he can prepare for the Johto League. Ash thanks her. He then looks at Charizard, who is by Charla. Ash walks up to it and tells it to be good for Liza. Liza is surprised, but Ash knows that is where Charizard belongs. Liza, Charla, and Charizard then take off. Ash waves goodbye to his old friend. Ash decides to stay in Blackthorn for one more day so Clair can explain about the {{pkmn|League}}.

* Brock states that Gyarados is both {{t|Water}}- and {{t|Flying}}-types, and Misty replies that Pikachu should "still" have an advantage over Gyarados because of its {{t|Electric|Electricity}}; this implies that Electric attacks are powerful against Water Pokémon but weak against Flying Pokémon. In reality, Electric attacks are strong against both, giving Pikachu a double advantage.
* After Brock says that Ash must have "something up his sleeve" (during Snorlax's trouble battling Kingdra), Misty adds, "I hope so, before Snorlax's sake." She should have said "I hope so, ''for'' Snorlax's sake."
* Dragonair's horn is missing when it faints from battle.
* After Snorlax uses Ice Punch, Brock states how Dragon Pokémon have trouble against Ice-type attacks, but because Kingdra is part Water-type it would affect it normally. The reverse happened in a previous episode when Pikachu used its Electric-type attacks against Kingdra.

'''Fangs for Nothin' ''' (Japanese: '''フスベジムのりゅうのきば！''' ''{{tt|Fusube|Blackthorn}} Gym's Dragon's Fang!'') is the 252nd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 13, 2002 and in the United States on June 7, 2003.
{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
The episode begins with {{Ash}} and [[Clair]] on the battlefield, about to begin a three-on-three battle, with [[Kaburagi]] as judge. Clair leads off with {{p|Kingdra}}, which Ash responds with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Pikachu tries to {{m|Thunderbolt}} Kingdra, who easily shakes the attack off. This puzzles Misty and Brock. Kingdra responds with {{m|Twister}}, which catches Pikachu. However, Pikachu manages to recover, and launches a {{m|Thunder}} attack, only for Kingdra to shake it off as well. Ash is also puzzled by why Kingdra is easily repelling Pikachu's attacks, to which Clair replies that, though Kingdra is evolved from a {{p|Seadra}} (a {{t|Water}}-type, the reason which Ash made his decision to lead off with Pikachu), upon evolution it gains the {{t|Dragon}}-type as well. Kingdra continues the battle with {{m|Hydro Pump}}, which Pikachu returns fire with Thunderbolt.

Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] is lamenting the loss of {{p|Dratini}}, but is cheered up by the prospect of food. As Jessie is planning her revenge against Clair, the food meant to cheer her up is stolen from right under them. Though {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} notices this, the others blame Wobbuffet (after hearing the voice of a hidden {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Wynaut}}) for eating all the food. However, they do manage to formulate a plan to steal the Dragon Fang.

Back at the Gym, Ash is convinced to switch out Pikachu after a {{m|Quick Attack}} also fails to faze Kingdra. Sending in {{AP|Noctowl}} instead, Ash tries to use its psychic abilities to try and land a blow against Kingdra. Elsewhere, {{TRT}} manages to sneak in and steal the Dragon Fang without setting off its infra-red alarms, however, an overzealous Wobbuffet manages to knock the group over, breaking one of the beams. The alarm reaches the battlefield, where, as Team Rocket was stealing the Dragon Fang, Noctowl had managed to land a {{m|Confusion}} on Kingdra, but a Hydro Pump had managed to break its momentum when Noctowl tries to throw it. Noctowl's {{m|Hypnosis}} also misses its mark thanks to Kingdra's {{m|Agility}}, and Kingdra manages to land a Hydro Pump on Noctowl, about to knock it out just as the alarm sounded.

Abandoning the battle, the group pursues Team Rocket, who had managed to commandeer a boat. The group uses {{p|Dragonair}}, {{AP|Totodile}}, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, and {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} to follow. Team Rocket escapes into the Dragon's Den, a cave in the middle of the water. Their pursuit in the cave leads them to the Dragon's Holy Land, a place that Clair had once trained with Lance. Team Rocket is saved from falling down by the waterfall into the Holy Land by a {{p|Dragonite}}, who Team Rocket convinces that they are trying to protect the Dragon Fang from Clair and company.

Ash and company also manage to reach the Holy Land, and they split up to look for Team Rocket. Dragonite manages to fire a {{m|Hyper Beam}} as a warning shot to Ash and company, just as Clair arrives. Kaburagi explains that the Dragonite had once belonged to the first Gym Leader of Blackthorn City, and had never felt the same since its trainer had passed away. However, they are unsure as to why Dragonite would assist Team Rocket. However, their thoughts are disturbed by a roar coming from a Pokémon flying towards them...

'''Beauty is Skin Deep''' (Japanese: '''イブキとミニリュウ！''' ''{{tt|Ibuki|Clair}} and {{tt|Miniryu|Dratini}}!'') is the 251st episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 6, 2002 and in the United States on May 31, 2003.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
Having nearly arrived at [[Blackthorn City]], {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} find a {{p|Dratini}} lying on the ground. However, when they try to get a closer look, a {{p|Gyarados}} appears and keeps them at bay using a {{m|Hydro Pump}}. A mysterious person appears, threatening them if they try to harm the Dratini. After the confusion is sorted, the person introduces herself as [[Clair]], and that her Gyarados was simply trying to protect her Dratini. However, when Dratini leaves, Clair and Gyarados leaves in pursuit. Ash then runs into her elderly assistant, [[Kaburagi]], who reveals to them that Clair is the Blackthorn Gym Leader, and must perform a ritual with the Dragon Fang. As they slowly follow Clair and her Dratini upstream, Kaburagi reveals the local history: an unidentified dragon Pokémon had terrorized local residents, until it was defeated by the first Blackthorn Gym Leader, who took one of its fangs as a sign of victory. Since then, the Dragon Fang has been handed down through generations, and today is the day that they must perform a purification ritual.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}}, further upstream, is relaxing when Dratini passes by. [[Jessie]] is enamored by the Dratini, hoping to catch one for her own. As [[James]] sends out {{TP|James|Weezing}}, they are suddenly washed in Gyarados' Hydro Pump, and meet face to face with Clair. When Team Rocket try to threaten her, she sends them flying by using another one of Gyarados' Hydro Pump attacks. Meanwhile, Ash and company, with Kaburagi, manage to make up their ground with Clair. Kaburagi implores Clair to return in time for the ritual, but Clair objects, seeing as Dratini is preparing to shed its skin - a point in which Dratini are the most vulnerable. When Dratini leaves, Clair and Gyarados follow, and Ash and company have no choice but to follow them, and let Dratini shed its skin before preparing for the ritual. Team Rocket, intending on stealing Dratini, is also in pursuit - though James contends that Dratini would fetch a high price either on the open market or as a gift to {{an|Giovanni}}, Jessie is adamant that she keep it for herself, thinking that it is cute.

Knowing that pursuing Dratini may take the entire day, Clair takes a break for lunch. This gives an opportunity for Ash to challenge Clair, which Clair accepts. Kaburagi, noticing that Ash had won the badge from [[Mahogany Town]], asks them whether the rumors of a [[Red Gyarados]] rampaging near town were true. Ash and company proceed to tell them the whole story, including how they had met [[Lance]], and how they were in the middle of the entire situation. Clair and her assistant is surprised at the fact that Lance is a Pokémon G-Man, which surprises Ash (not knowing that they, too, are acquainted with Lance). Clair reveals that the two are both {{t|Dragon}}-type trainers who had trained with each other. Knowing this, Ash and Clair are both excited for their upcoming battle. Their lunch is disrupted by an elderly couple, who wants to take pictures with Dratini. Though Clair is reluctant, she allows the couple to go near Dratini, only for the couple to trap Dratini in a net. The couple reveal themselves as Jessie and James, while {{MTR}} covers their escape using a smoke bomb.

While Clair is in hot pursuit of Team Rocket's balloon, Dratini tries desperately to break free by rocking the balloon. When the balloon crashes, it makes a desperate attempt into the water, which Jessie quickly stops. This allows Clair to catch up. Trying to defend themselves, James sends out Weezing, but is dispatched easily by Gyarados. Pikachu tries to {{m|Thunderbolt}} Team Rocket to send them flying, but {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}'s {{m|Counter}} deflects the attack in all directions - hitting Ash, Pikachu, Team Rocket, and nearly hitting {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and Kaburagi. When an errant Thunderbolt is about to hit Dratini, Clair dives to protect it. Just at that moment, Dratini evolves into {{p|Dragonair}}, much to Jessie's dismay (who contends that it was cuter as a Dratini). As Dragonair is far more rare, Team Rocket presses on their attack, but thanks to Gyarados' {{m|Hyper Beam}} and Dragonair's {{m|Twister}}, they are sent flying.

Just as they celebrate their victory, Dragonair leaves, with everyone in pursuit. They are led to Riverhead Falls, the source of the water that leads into Blackthorn City, and the perfect place for the ritual. Ash and company are witnesses to the purification ritual, in which Clair says a prayer and proceeds to drench the [[Dragon Fang]] in the lake water. The Dragon Fang reacts, and sends a dragon-shaped beam of light into the sky. Kaburagi explains that after a dragon Pokémon dies, its body becomes a star in the sky.

The next day, Ash and friends finally make it to the city gates of Blackthorn City, as the Blackthorn Gym awaits.

* {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} meet [[Clair]].

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} are sitting in a restaurant eating hamburgers when, over the radio, [[DJ Mary]] announces that {{an|Professor Oak}}'s radio show is beginning. In this installment of the program, he explains how it is possible that {{p|Starmie}}'s blinking crystal is somehow being used to communicate with beings from outer space. He ends with a poem about Starmie.

Ash and Misty comment on how they think that the poem wasn't very good. Unsure about what to think, Brock adds that people say that you have to think about Pokémon poetry for a while to truly understand the deeper meaning. Over the radio, DJ Mary announces that she and Professor Oak will be doing a live recording of the show tomorrow at 1:00pm at the [[Maroon Town]] fairgrounds with a follow-up, question-and-answer session. Admission will be free! Brock becomes excited that Mary will be there as well and rapidly flips through his guide book in order to find where Maroon Town is. It is right on the way to [[Blackthorn City]] and is only one town away! Excited, they head off towards Maroon Town.

[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} are walking into Maroon Town at that moment and comment on how hungry and tired they are. They collapse from exhaustion when Meowth notices one of many posters on the buildings around them. Meowth explains that they are advertising a free public recording of Professor Oak's talk show, and after the taping, there is a free lunch buffet for the stars of the show. The three of them become excited and state that all they have to do is become the stars of the show! They quickly disguise themselves as DJ Mary, Professor Oak, and the "big-mouthed, overbearing producer that every show has to have". Hearing lots of talking, [[Nurse Joy]] walks over to greet the disguised {{TRT}}. She wonders why they are here when they said over the radio that they wouldn't be in town until the following day. They create a story that because of all the loyal Pokémon fans in Maroon Town, they couldn't wait to make it there to meet them all as soon as they could. Impressed, Nurse Joy takes them over to the stage at that moment.

At the stage, the three of them hungrily eat all of the food for tomorrow's luncheon. Before she goes off to get more food, Nurse Joy asks if James could answer some questions for the children. James worries about not knowing the answers, so Meowth sits behind him with many books in order to find the answers. One child asks "What exactly is that leek thing that {{p|Farfetch'd}} is always carrying around?" Meowth can't find the answer quickly enough so James says that it is a hockey stick. Amazed, the children ask him more questions. Another boy asks why {{type2|Electric}} attacks don't work on Pokémon like {{p|Quagsire}} even though it is a {{type2|Water}}. James, after getting the answer from Meowth, explains that it is both a Water-type and {{type2|Ground}} so electricity doesn't affect it because of its Ground-type characteristics. The children begin to ask too many questions too quickly when a group of people carrying cameras appear in front of Jessie. Because they are the DJ Mary Fan Club, they happily welcome DJ Mary to town and ask if they can all take her picture. Team Rocket becomes caught up in all of the excitement. Later, in a hotel's hot spring, they all relax and scheme about all the other freebies that could come their way.

The following morning, the real Professor Oak and DJ Mary wonder why Nurse Joy says that they already came, and she shows Team Rocket, disguised as the two of them, eating at the breakfast table. The children from the day before come to the real Professor and say that they don't believe Farfetch'd carries around a hockey stick, it must carry around some sort of root. He explains that it is not a root or a hockey stick, but the stem from a plant. The children become angry because the Professor must be lying to them because they are kids. Ash and {{ashfr}} walk up and say hello to the Professor. Brock becomes infatuated with Mary until Misty pulls him away by the ear. Nurse Joy asks if they can tell who those people at the breakfast table are and Team Rocket becomes worried if they are caught. Jessie tells James that their only shot is to play the bluff for all it is worth. Misty then suggests a contest in order to prove which Professor is real. This contest becomes the radio show.

The contest will consist of three questions. The first Professor to answer two of the three correctly will be deemed the winner. Nurse Joy begins reading the first question. "What is the evolved form of {{p|Slowpoke}} that-" she says when Professor A, the real Professor Oak, says that the correct answer is {{p|Slowbro}}. Although this is correct, there was more to the question. The rest of the question asks what the name of {{t|Psychic}} attack that Slowbro learns upon reaching [[level]] 46. James, disguised as Professor B, does not have a clue; upon the buzzer, he says that he has {{m|Amnesia}}. Amnesia, luckily, is the correct answer. The second question consists of a silhouette that must be identified. James thinks it is the hand of a {{p|Sudowoodo}} while Professor Oak believes it is an {{p|Aipom}}'s tail, which is the correct answer. Worried about losing, Meowth comes onstage dressed as the producer and suggest that the last question should be a poetry contest. Concerned, Jessie confronts James who then explains that he was the champion stand-up poet in grade-school for three years and even won the Golden Tongue Award. DJ Mary says they need a theme when, from under Meowth's coat, something says "{{p|Wobbuffet}}!" Everyone agrees and James begins with his poem.

Everyone is puzzled when he explains that the poem applies to one small element of Wobbuffet's life as well as the struggles of all people to understand their own lives. Nurse Joy announces that Professor A is the one and only Professor Oak. James contradicts her on how she can think that his "pompous dribble" is superior to his poem. She then explains that James's poem had no understanding of Pokémon poetry, which she knows because she is a fifth level master of Pokémon poetry! She then goes on explaining how all of Professor Oak's poems have one thing in common: the power to reassure and relax people. Joy then states that James is the fake Oak and an amateur at Pokémon poetry when {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} falls out from under Meowth's coat. Upon being found out, Team Rocket says their {{TP|Team Rocket|motto}} and uses {{TP|James|Weezing}} in order to escape in their balloon, along with all the catered lunch. Ash begins to send out one of his Pokémon when Professor Oak sends out a {{p|Pidgey}} that he caught along the way. Pidgey uses {{m|Quick Attack}} to cut the rope carrying. Unsuspecting of Pidgey's power, Team Rocket is blown away by its {{m|Gust}} attack. After Pidgey comes back, the children from before run up to Professor Oak and apologize for believing he was fake. He does not mind and only wants to talk about Pokémon with the children.

Later, hanging from a limb on the side of a cliff, Team Rocket yells for help. James thinks of another poem.

*The test:
:What is the evolved form of Slowpoke's move learned at level 46?
::Answer: {{m|Amnesia}}
:Identify the silhouette.
::Answer: an {{p|Aipom}}'s tail.
:Create a poem about Wobbuffet.
::James: ''It inflates its psychic self / But light will put it on the shelf / Wobbuffet''
::Professor Oak: ''Wobbuffet / When life is a mystery / It's your answer''
::Jessie: ''Wobbuffet / Has a hair barrette''

*The dub title was mostly believed by fans to be a spoof of {{wp|Eminem}}'s hit song "{{wp|The Real Slim Shady}}"; however, the line actually originated from a well-knowngame show called ''{{wp|To Tell The Truth}}'' in which a similar line was said following the voting of a four-member panel on three players, all of whom claimed to have something.
*The plot of this episode may have been inspired by the {{TCG ID|Base Set|Impostor Professor Oak|73}} card from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].
*This is the second time a member of [[Team Rocket]] addressed Ash or one of {{ashfr}} by name. While disguised as [[DJ Mary]], Jessie refers to Brock by name. The first time was in ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]''.
*This is one of the few times that [[level]]s are mentioned in the anime.
*As with most level-up learnsets, Slowbro's has changed since Generation II, when this episode was created and aired, making the first answer no longer correct: Slowbro only learns Amnesia at level 46 during Generation II or in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
*This is the first episode in which James disguised himself as Professor Oak; the second time was in ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]''.
*[[Melody (movie)|Melody]]'s song from ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' can be heard during Professor Oak's Wobbuffet poem.

===Errors===
*When the silhouette of an Aipom's tail appears on screen, Misty refers it as being similar to the test in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', where they saw a Jigglypuff seen from below. In actuality, the Jigglypuff was seen from ''above''.
*In one scene Jessie and Mary appear to be the same height when Jessie should be taller.

===Dub edits===
[[File:EP245 extra.jpg|right|thumb|200px|An extended shot]]
* The scene where DJ Mary and Professor Oak confront Jessie and James in their disguises was cut short for the dub. After DJ Mary says to Jessie that she is the real Mary, Jessie starts shouting at Mary and Professor Oak that she is the real Mary, and DJ Mary is terrified of Jessie's behavior, and she holds on to Professor Oak, jumping up and down with her eyes closed in terror while holding onto him. This was cut from the dub because it looked like a sex act. In the dub, DJ Mary holds onto Professor Oak in fear of Team Rocket for no reason at all.

==Synopsis==
{{Incomplete synopsis}}

{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} stop by a lake where they meet with {{TRT}}. As they’re about to battle each other, a {{p|Slowpoke}} with a flag comes and sits on a rock fishing. This lady comes and says the {{p|Slowpoke}} is looking for "enlightenment." She offers to take everyone to Slowpoke Temple to learn this. There’s a giant gold statue of a Slowpoke. They go through tests, such as having to concentrate so hard they won’t move or else they’ll be hit by sticks! The next is cleaning the temple, which Ash and Team Rocket compete in.

[[Jessie]] and [[James]] go off to steal the statue, and {{MTR}} distracts Ash by fishing with him. The same {{p|Slowpoke}} is fishing much better than Ash and friends, because the Pokémon know they won’t be captured. The gold statue is stolen by Jessie and James, but Slowpoke evolves into {{p|Slowbro}} and defeats them. Ash and friends head off, while Team Rocket stay at the temple, this time to truthfully learn enlightenment...

==Trivia==
{{incomplete|section|Oak's lecture, senryuu}}
* This is the final episode written by the anime's original head writer, [[Takeshi Shudō]].
* The English title of this episode is a pun of the phrase ''lighten up.''
* The Slowpoke religion draws heavily from {{wp|Buddhism}}.
* This episode uses music from ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''.
* Madeleine mentions that "Slowpoke is just a name that humans invented". This may be true in the games, but is doubtful in the anime, where most Pokémon can say their names even right after being born. This implies that Pokémon in the anime were named after their "natural" cries.

===Errors===
* The guidebook that Brock is reading at the start of the episode is black in color, when it should be blue and yellow, as in previous episodes.
**The color of the guidebook was probably changed by accident because of the second book that Brock reads, which is also black.
* In the dub, Brock says that his hometown is "Flint City". He is actually from [[Pewter City]]. {{ka|Flint}} is the name of his father.
* It is said that when a Shellder clamps down on a Slowpoke's tail, it will change shape, and the Slowpoke will [[Evolution|evolve]] into a Slowbro. The Slowpoke should evolve right when the Shellder makes contact with the Slowpoke's tail. The Slowpoke that was fishing at Lake Enlightenment caught a Shellder on its tail, but was not seen evolving until later.

===Dub edits===
[[File:EP244 Deleted Shot.png|thumb|right|225px|Brock's sexual fantasy]]
* During the meditation scene, Brock's sexual fantasy of Madeleine was cut from the English dub.
* The close-up shot of the robed man with a wooden paddle hitting another robed man with that paddle was covered up by an impact animation for the dub.
* The sound effects of the paddle hits during the meditation scene are much louder in the original Japanese version.

== Synopsis ==
{{Incomplete synopsis}}
In the midst of their travels, {{Ash}} gets hungry, so they go to get lunch. But, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} runs off and meets a young girl named {{jo|Brittany}} practicing with her twin {{p|Igglybuff}}. She stars in her own musical variety television program along with her two Igglybuff. {{an|Jigglypuff}} shows up and begins to sing, but Ash snatches her microphone and stashes it in his backpack. Jigglypuff is jealous of Brittany's Igglybuff, so she bullies them when Ash and {{Ashfr|friends}} aren't looking. {{TRT}} spies on them like usual and [[Jessie]] daydreams of having her own show with the Igglybuff. Our heroes sit back and enjoy the show for a bit, but Team Rocket appears, in costume on a platform, singing their {{motto}}. {{TP|James|Weezing}} uses {{m|SmokeScreen}} to distract Ash and others while they take Brittany's Igglybuff and accidentally Jigglypuff. Ash, Misty, and Brittany go to rescue Brittany's Igglybuff while {{an|Brock}} entertains the audience. The audience appears to love Brock at first, but Brock keeps singing the same song over and over again. They eventually get tired of his singing and so does Brock. Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and Brittany finds Team Rocket and battles them. When Ash, Misty, and Brittany come back, Brock is more than happy to have Brittany take over the show. Finally, our heroes sit back and relax. Jigglypuff goes backstage to retrieve her microphone by going into Ash's, Brock's, and Misty's backpacks. She appears on the stage and starts to sing. At the end of the episode, Jigglypuff walks away; appearing upset. Everyone in the audience, including Brittany and her Igglypuff, are shown with their faces drawn on by Jigglypuff.

==Synopsis==
As {{Ash}} and friends continue to [[Blackthorn City]], we see them still in the forest looking for a way out. Ash is still under {{jo|Lily}}'s [[Ashachu]] spell, but soon the spell wears off, Ash becomes human again, and everyone is relieved. Now, however, they still have a small problem; they are completely lost in the woods. Of course, {{an|Misty}} blames it on Ash as usual and insults him by saying she liked him a whole lot better when he was still a {{p|Pikachu}}.

While walking through the woods, Ash and friends meet up with [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} in disguise. They proceed to tell Ash that his {{AP|Pikachu}} loses energy because it's lost and they can recharge it with their new invention, the ''PikaPower Mach III''. Jessie then rips Pikachu off Ash's shoulder and straps it in and radios to Meowth who swoops down in their balloon and takes Pikachu, Jessie, and James into the sky. Jessie then tells Ash to command Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}. But what Ash and friends don't know is that, as opposed to recharging Pikachu, the chair actually saps Pikachu of its energy. Ash tells Pikachu to give it all he's got and eventually the chair releases Pikachu and {{TRT}} goes blasting off again.

Just then a girl named [[Krystal]] meets up with Ash and friends. {{an|Brock}}, of course, falls in love with her at first sight. However, Ash goes on telling her that Pikachu is badly hurt and that there isn't a [[Pokémon Center]] for miles around. She asks them to keep a very big secret for her if she helps them out.

Krystal takes our heroes up a large hill where they soon notice that {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon are also climbing up the hill. Krystal tells them that they're all going there for a special reason. When they get to the top of the hill they come to a big lake, and Krystal tells them that Electric-type Pokémon come to rest in there if they're worn out and tells them that the water has magical healing powers. She then orders Ash to put Pikachu into the water.

After Pikachu is healed, Krystal takes Ash and friends out to the middle of the lake in a speedboat to show them the secret to the lake's power. When they look down from the bottom of the boat they see what looks like an underwater temple with a crystal at the bottom. Krystal tells them how the electric Pokémon have been coming to the lake for years and how they are healed by the lake's power. Jessie and James are eavesdropping in on the conversation and plot to steal the crystal.

Meanwhile, Ash and friends are talking about how the lake needs to be kept secret and how bad it would be if the wrong people got a hold of the crystal.

Then Team Rocket goes underwater in a giant mechanical {{p|Tentacruel}} and gets a hold of the crystal. At first they're happy, but then unbeknownst to them the crystal stops glowing. Ash and friends notice that the glowing where the crystal once stood is gone and they panic. Team Rocket reveals themselves, recite their motto, and then float away in their balloon. Our heroes are furious about this occurrence. However the Electric Pokémon start to follow Team Rocket in attempt to get the crystal back. Ash orders Pikachu to {{m|Thunderbolt}} them, and the other Electric Pokémon join in the attack. However, Team Rocket sucks in their energy with the PikaPower Mach III. They then make the machine forcibly draw energy from the Electric Pokémon to drain their power. Just then a scream and black clouds appears in the sky and a huge bolt of lightning breaks the circuit between the electric Pokémon and the machine.

Everyone wonders what this was. The sky suddenly gets dark and the clouds part to reveal the [[legendary birds|legendary bird]] {{p|Zapdos}}! Zapdos is extremely angry and flies toward Team Rocket and zaps their PikaPower Mach III. However, even Zapdos loses energy and the heroes start to wonder why it doesn't seem to have much power in the first place. Zapdos turns it up to full power and overloads the PikaPower Mach III, sending Team Rocket blasting off again. But then Zapdos falls out of the sky to the ground. Still angry and flailing about it finally faints because of its weakness and the process of healing.

Krystal tells them this is the real secret. But without the crystal in the water Zapdos can't get healed so our heroes set off to find Team Rocket and the crystal. Pikachu senses the crystal is nearby so they follow Pikachu to where Team Rocket had crashed. Jessie sends out her {{tp|Jessie|Arbok}} to stop Ash and friends as soon as they arrive in attempt to keep the crystal in Team Rocket's possession; James sends out his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} at this time, too, but of course Victreebel is more interested in eating James rather than attacking Ash. Jessie orders Arbok to use {{m|Poison Sting}} and Ash orders Pikachu to dodge and use {{m|Quick Attack}}. Arbok is then thrown into Jessie and James orders Victreebel to use {{m|Razor Leaf}} and Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}} again. Pikachu hits Victreebel and it lands on James. Ash tells Team Rocket to hand over the crystal and Jessie throws Ash a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} balloon which inflates and bursts causing a lot of dust to fly in the air. Team Rocket now gets away in a new Wobbuffet balloon. Ash throws {{AP|Bayleef}}'s [[Poké Ball]] and orders it to use its {{m|Vine Whip}} to get back the crystal. It gets it back. However, James orders Victreebel to use Vine Whip, too, to get the crystal back and they both struggle to get it and Jessie orders Arbok to use {{m|Poison Sting}} but Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} and makes Team Rocket blast off again. The crystal falls from their grasp, so Ash runs off after it to catch it. He dives off a cliff to keep it safe, and Bayleef uses her Vine Whip to catch Ash just in time, saving him from a crash into the trees below.

Ash and friends now go back to the lake with the crystal. Ash dives underwater with it and puts it back in its rightful place. He rises to the surface but the crystal still doesn't glow. The electric Pokémon swim over to the crystal and they all use their {{m|ThunderShock}} attacks on the crystal which causes it to glow. They then put the injured Zapdos into the lake where it sinks to the bottom but in the midst of it the crystal stops glowing again. The electric Pokémon use ThunderShock on the crystal again which helps power up Zapdos as well. Zapdos recharges and flies out of the water, then gives the crystal full power with its Thunderbolt attack, causing the crystal to glow again. The lake is now back to normal like before, and Zapdos flies off into the clearing as everyone waves goodbye.

Ash and {{Ashfr}} are then shown ready to leave, promising Krystal that they won't tell anyone about the lake or Zapdos. Once again Brock tries to score with her but Misty pulls him away by the ear and the episode ends with everyone waving goodbye to each other.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|friends}} are wandering around in a forest on their way to [[Blackthorn City]]. Just then a {{p|Murkrow}} approaches them and starts jabbering. Then a girl comes running out from the clearing exclaiming she finally found a Pikachu.

The girl introduces herself to Ash and friends as {{jo|Lily}}, a Pokémon magician. She searches far and wide for bizarre things from different Pokémon such as a {{m|Thunderbolt}} from Pikachu. Of course, {{an|Misty}} asks Lily to perform so magic for her because ever since she was little she'd always dreamed about being a Pokémon magician. Lily asks Misty if she'd like a smoother complexion. She says that she would. So Lily puts everything together and says a magic chant and a lot of smoke rises from the pot. When this happens a bunch of {{p|Spinarak}} appear and use {{m|String Shot}}, covering Misty with it. The main reason Misty doesn't like this is that she is afraid of bugs.

Later, Lily announces that she needs {{m|Stun Spore}} from a {{p|Parasect}}. Ash volunteers gracefully to get it for her. He finds one and challenges it to a battle. At first it tries spraying Ash with {{m|Sleep Powder}} but luckily Murkrow blows it away. Then Parasect finally uses Stun Spore and Lily obtains it with a vacuum.

Just then a long mechanical arm swoops Pikachu into the sky. It's {{TRT}}, as usual. Lily notices {{MTR}} and wants to get the dirt from its claws, so she sends Murkrow to get it. Instead, it makes a hole in their balloon, sending them blasting off again. Pikachu falls from their clutches and into Ash's arms.

Team Rocket is seen slumped precariously over a rock ledge on top of a tall cliff. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} pops out of its [[Poké Ball]] and adds more weight, and the ledge starts to crack. Lily, Ash, and friends catch up to Team Rocket and Lily goes and gets the dirt from Meowth's claws, and as soon as she gets off the ledge, it breaks, and Team Rocket goes crashing into the bushes below.

Later, {{an|Brock}} asks Lily what else she needs and she tells the crew that she needs the tears of an {{p|Aipom}}. Ash then asks if once she has the tears she'll be able to perform her magic and read the minds of Pokémon. She says yes. Ash calls out and tells an Aipom to come out, which actually happens! However, it runs off so the group splits up to catch it. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] happen to pop out of the bushes behind them after they leave. They heard about the spell, so they set out to capture the Aipom and Lily's bag and book so they can make a lot of money. When Aipom lets its guard down, Ash, Misty, Brock and Lily charge at it. A net grabs Aipom and they smack heads instead. Team Rocket strikes again in their balloon and Meowth uses the long arm to get Lily's bag. Then they recite their motto. She orders Murkrow to get her bag back but Meowth uses the arm and it punches Murkrow knocking it out. Jessie and James then make their getaway.

Team Rocket lands their balloon and Meowth is rooting through Lily's bag and grumbling that it's nothing but junk. Jessie and James are looking at the book which Jessie doesn't understand because it's written in an ancient language. But James understands part of it. Jessie gets fed up, and so, to get Aipom to cry, gets ready to punch it, but James stops her. She asks him what his problem is. He tells her to look at the ancient book and she tells him that she could read tea leaves more easily than reading the book. James goes on to tell her that tears achieved through violence won't work.

So Team Rocket tries to figure out what they can do to make Aipom cry. James starts off by telling a bunch of corny jokes but instead it makes Aipom yawn. Then Meowth tells a story about a boy and his mother reuniting. It makes Meowth and James cry, but Aipom is still bored out of its mind. Jessie tells them they'll never jerk any tears from Aipom using clichéd storylines and overblown dramatics.

During this time Ash and friends are looking of Team Rocket but turn up nothing but then Murkrow spots something.

Now it was Jessie's turn to tell a story. She tells a story about a prince and princess and if she couldn't be his princess that her end was near. Anyway after her performance Aipom is fast asleep so Jessie gets angry and picks up Aipom to try and punch it again but once again James stops her.

Just then Ash and friends catch up to Team Rocket and demand that the stolen stuff to be given back. As usual, this is where they start a Pokémon battle. Lily uses {{m|Icy Wind}} against Jessie's Arbok's {{m|Poison Sting}} which sends Arbok flying into the balloon basket. Then it's Ash's Pikachu against [[James's Weezing]]. Weezing uses {{m|Sludge}} attack and Pikachu uses Thunderbolt until Weezing runs out of sludge. During this, Brock frees Aipom. Then Lily has Murkrow use {{m|Swift}} against Weezing. Weezing rams Team Rocket into the basket. Pikachu then uses {{m|Thunder}} on Team Rocket and the balloon which makes it blow up and sends them blasting off again.

Of course, Aipom finds this funny, laughing so hard that it produces tears of mirth. Ash quickly grabs a jar and tries to catch a tear but he trips and takes a nose dive on the ground so Pikachu quickly grabs the jar and catches the tear. Both Lily and Ash thank Pikachu.

Now the magic begins. Lily mixes in all the ingredients for the spell and then she asks who will volunteer. Ash begs to be picked, so Lily picks him. He finishes the spell with Pikachu's Thunderbolt. A lot of yellow smoke surrounds Ash and he comments that he felt a little like he's getting into Pikachu's mind. Then Lily, Misty and Brock gasp.

Ash asks what happened. He looks up to his friends and asked them how they got so big. Then the camera cuts to Ash and zooms out to reveal that he was turned into [[Ashachu|a Pikachu]]! He wants to know why they were looking at him so funny so Misty gets out her mirror and shows him. Ash sees what has happened, and freaks! Lily explains this wasn't supposed to happen but when she looks in her book, the next page is covered in slop that makes reading the page impossible. Misty asks Lily if Ash will be a Pikachu permanently but she says of course not, just until the spell wears off. Ash calms down and says, "In that case this is awesome! I'm a Pikachu!" He goes off to play with Pikachu, Murkrow, and {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}}. Misty and Brock exclaimed that the spell probably worked; after all, Ash was inside the mind of Pikachu. Brock adds that Ash is certainly ''thinking'' like one. The episode closes with Ash, Murkrow, Pikachu, and Togepi playing together.

==Trivia==
* This is the first time a human is transformed into a Pokémon. The concept would later be explored further in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] game series and its adaptations.
* The English title for this episode is a reference to the magic words "{{wp|Hocus pocus}}".
* After the second time Jessie tried to punch tears out of the Aipom, Meowth warned, "No tears for fears!", referencing the band ''{{wp|Tears for Fears}}''. The band would later be referenced in the [[DP053|episode of the same name]].
* Meowth's puppet theater act appears to be a reference to {{wp|Isao Takahata}}'s {{wp|3000 Leagues in Search of Mother}}.
* Two nonexistent moves are used in this episode, Pikachu's "Thunderspark" and Murkrow's "Wind" attack.

===Errors===
* In the scene where Ashachu tells Pikachu, Togepi, and Murkrow to play, when the scene goes back to Misty and Brock, Togepi is seen in Misty's hands.
** Also, Murkrow is seen to come out of nowhere when {{Ash}} calls all the Pokémon.
* In the scene where Team Rocket blasts off, Weezing disappears despite being in the balloon in the scene before.

===Dub edits===
*In the Japanese version, there was a picture of Jynx in Lily's book. The dub replaced it with a flower kissed by a Jynx
*After Misty was attacked by the Spinarak, there was a short scene cut in the English dub. In this scene, everybody feels sorry for her because she has arachnophobia. The frequently used "clock" transition and part of the first shot of the next scene, a pan down to the main characters are both cut from the dub.

Now it was Jessie's turn to tell a story. She tells a story about a prince and princess and if she couldn't be his princess that her end was near. Anyway after her performance Aipom is fast asleep so Jessie gets angry and picks up Aipom to try and punch it again but once again James stops her.

Just then Ash and friends catch up to Team Rocket and demand that the stolen stuff to be given back. As usual, this is where they start a Pokémon battle. Lily uses {{m|Icy Wind}} against Jessie's Arbok's {{m|Poison Sting}} which sends Arbok flying into the balloon basket. Then it's Ash's Pikachu against [[James's Weezing]]. Weezing uses {{m|Sludge}} attack and Pikachu uses Thunderbolt until Weezing runs out of sludge. During this, Brock frees Aipom. Then Lily has Murkrow use {{m|Swift}} against Weezing. Weezing rams Team Rocket into the basket. Pikachu then uses {{m|Thunder}} on Team Rocket and the balloon which makes it blow up and sends them blasting off again.

Of course, Aipom finds this funny, laughing so hard that it produces tears of mirth. Ash quickly grabs a jar and tries to catch a tear but he trips and takes a nose dive on the ground so Pikachu quickly grabs the jar and catches the tear. Both Lily and Ash thank Pikachu.

Now the magic begins. Lily mixes in all the ingredients for the spell and then she asks who will volunteer. Ash begs to be picked, so Lily picks him. He finishes the spell with Pikachu's Thunderbolt. A lot of yellow smoke surrounds Ash and he comments that he felt a little like he's getting into Pikachu's mind. Then Lily, Misty and Brock gasp.

Ash asks what happened. He looks up to his friends and asked them how they got so big. Then the camera cuts to Ash and zooms out to reveal that he was turned into [[Ashachu|a Pikachu]]! He wants to know why they were looking at him so funny so Misty gets out her mirror and shows him. Ash sees what has happened, and freaks! Lily explains this wasn't supposed to happen but when she looks in her book, the next page is covered in slop that makes reading the page impossible. Misty asks Lily if Ash will be a Pikachu permanently but she says of course not, just until the spell wears off. Ash calms down and says, "In that case this is awesome! I'm a Pikachu!" He goes off to play with Pikachu, Murkrow, and {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}}. Misty and Brock exclaimed that the spell probably worked; after all, Ash was inside the mind of Pikachu. Brock adds that Ash is certainly ''thinking'' like one. The episode closes with Ash, Murkrow, Pikachu, and Togepi playing together.

==Trivia==
* This is the first time a human is transformed into a Pokémon. The concept would later be explored further in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] game series and its adaptations.
* The English title for this episode is a reference to the magic words "{{wp|Hocus pocus}}".
* After the second time Jessie tried to punch tears out of the Aipom, Meowth warned, "No tears for fears!", referencing the band ''{{wp|Tears for Fears}}''. The band would later be referenced in the [[DP053|episode of the same name]].
* Meowth's puppet theater act appears to be a reference to {{wp|Isao Takahata}}'s {{wp|3000 Leagues in Search of Mother}}.

===Errors===
* In the scene where Ashachu tells Pikachu, Togepi, and Murkrow to play, when the scene goes back to Misty and Brock, Togepi is seen in Misty's hands.
** Also, Murkrow is seen to come out of nowhere when {{Ash}} calls all the Pokémon.
* In the scene where Team Rocket blasts off, Weezing disappears despite being in the balloon in the scene before.

===Dub edits===
*In the Japanese version, there was a picture of Jynx in Lily's book. The dub replaced it with a flower kissed by a Jynx
*After Misty was attacked by the Spinarak, there was a short scene cut in the English dub. In this scene, everybody feels sorry for her because she has arachnophobia. The frequently used "clock" transition and part of the first shot of the next scene, a pan down to the main characters are both cut from the dub.

'''Some Like it Hot''' (Japanese: '''マグカルゴ！あついこころでゲットだぜ！！''' ''{{tt|Magcargot|Magcargo}}! Getting the Hot Heart!!'') is the 240th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on March 14, 2002 and in the United States on March 29, 2003.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
As usual, {{Ash}} is earnestly talking about his next badge, while {{an|Misty}} is complaining about the heat. {{an|Brock}} points out that there are volcanoes and hot springs around, which didn't please Misty at all.

{{TRT}} are relaxing at the hot springs when {{MTR}} spots Ash and {{Ashfr}}. However, they did not pursue them and go back to relaxing. A huge geyser erupts beneath them, sending them off to the air.

Misty and Ash get into an argument because of the heat. When a {{p|Magcargo}} appears, Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] for information about it. Brock notices more Magcargo around.

The gang gets to a better and cooler place, but a sleeping Magcargo was blocking the road. Ash yells at it and as a result, the Magcargo uses {{m|Flamethrower}} at them. Ash and the gang manage to avoid it and started yelling at it. The Magcargo gets angry and attacks them again with Flamethrower to scare them away. After that, it goes back to sleep.

Ash decides to battle it, but Misty tells him that she'll handle it instead because a {{type2|Fire}} like Magcargo is weak against a {{type2|Water}}. She is about to send out {{p|Poliwhirl}} when {{p|Psyduck}} comes out. Psyduck approaches Magcargo and wakes it up. Next, the duck runs back to Misty and hides behind her. Misty then sends out Poliwhirl and tells it to use {{m|Water Gun}}. Magcargo immediately withdraws into its shell to avoid the water. When it comes out of hiding, it uses {{m|Rock Slide}}. Poliwhirl avoids the attacks Magcargo throws at it, but it fails to avoid the Flamethrower attack.

A little boy appears and makes fun of Misty's battle techniques. Misty gets angry at him. The boy declares that he is going to jump off the cliff, although he seems reluctant to do so. When he jumps off, he lands flat on his face. After recovering from his fall, Misty yells at him for making fun of her earlier, but he insults her more.

The Magcargo goes away and the boy blames Misty for that. Misty angrily asks for his name and the boy introduces himself as [[Egan]], the Prince of Fire. Misty proceeds on introducing herself as the Water Princess. The two gets into an argument and ends up challenging each other to a battle. However, Egan states that he has to chase after Magcargo.

Team Rocket, while talking about their refreshing day, gets blast off again when another geyser hits their balloon.

Still sore about Egan, Misty keeps on complaining about him. All of a sudden, Misty and the two boys see Egan coming out of a cave. He asks the gang if they saw Magcargo, but Misty replies by making fun of him. Magcargo then appears and Egan sends out his {{p|Flareon}} to battle. Whenever Flareon uses Flamethrower, Magcargo would use {{m|Withdraw}}. Egan gets more upset. When Magcargo is about to use Body Slam, Misty tells Flareon to dodge it. Egan tells her to stay out of his battle and orders Flareon to attack. Magcargo then knocks Flareon down. Seeing how badly weakened Flareon is, Misty suggests to call it back, but Egan refuses to listen to her. He orders Flareon to attack once more, but Magcargo counters its flames and finally knocks it out. Misty starts to make fun of Egan, and the two starts an argument again. Brock suggests that they should eat. When Egan's stomach growls, Misty makes more fun of him.

Team Rocket are spying on the gang when the Magcargo creeps up from behind them and uses Flamethrower. They all make a run for it with flaming butts.

During mealtime, Misty and Egan surprisingly start to get along. Egan feels guilty for pushing Flareon so hard in battle and says that Flareon is very special to him. After agreeing to stop their rivalry, Egan asks why Misty loves Water-types. Misty explains to him that water Pokémon are very flexible and can easily adapt to any situation.

Later, they encounter Magcargo again. Egan is prepared to challenge it with Flareon. Magcargo attacks with {{m|Rock Slide}}. Egan remembers Misty's advice and tells Flareon what to do. Flareon dodges the rocks and Egan tells it to use Flamethrower. Magcargo withdraws into its shell again, but this time Egan makes sure not to do any reckless moves. Flareon eventually knocks out Magcargo, and Egan successfully captures it.

Just then, Team Rocket steal Magcargo using a giant arm. They do their motto with added lines. Misty quickly sends out Poliwhirl and tells it to use Water Gun. Poliwhirl's Water Gun breaks the mechanical arm, releasing Egan's Poké Ball. Team Rocket calls out their Pokémon and Egan sends out Magcargo. {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s {{m|Poison Sting}} attack is taken care of by Poliwhirl's Water Gun and {{TP|James|Victreebel}}'s {{m|Razor Leaf}} are all burned to a crisp by Magcargo's fire. After that, Poliwhirl and Magcargo combine their attacks, utterly defeating Arbok and Victreebel. Pikachu then uses it's {{m|Thunderbolt}} and sends Team Rocket off.

Before going their separate ways, Egan and Misty become friends and promise to have a battle again next time.

===Errors===
*After Team Rocket blasts off for the first time in the episode, Ash and friends are walking in the heat when a Magcargo passes in front of them. When the group opens their eyes they turn around and see the Magcargo. It could have been the same Magcargo put in a different place by accident or it could have been a completely different Magcargo. This is up to the viewer's interpretation as it is not known if it is the same one.
*On "[[Who's That Pokémon?]]" {{p|Mantine}} was mentioned as the heaviest {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}; however, it is actually second, the heaviest being {{p|Steelix}}.
*When Misty is going to send out her Pokémon to fight the Magcargo that is blocking the path she was originally going to bring out Staryu. After Psyduck runs back to Misty she throws the same Poké Ball that she had in her hand from before but Poliwhirl comes out instead.
*The second time that Team Rocket blasts off they were in their Hot Air Balloon but it was gone when the geyser blasted them into the sky.
*The third and fourth time that Team Rocket blasts off, Wobbuffet can be heard, despite being in its Poké Ball at the time.

== Garchomp and Hydreigon half decks ==

There isn't any indication that they will be featured as Pokémon-EX. All Pokémon-EX so far have been (basic) Legendary Pokémon. Plus, even if they were, their artwork shows they likely won't be EXs (they don't have CGI artwork which is basically a staple in regular EXs), at least in these half decks. What you wrote was pure speculation. Another thing is, how do you know that Roserade and Foongus will be Grass type and not Psychic types and how do you know that Houndoom will be Fire-type and not Dark-type? It seems to me that, since Drifloon is in the deck, Roserade and Foongus will most likely be Psychic-types too, but since anything isn't confirmed, what should be in the page is that they could be featured with either type. [[User:Metalizard|Metalizard]] 18:24, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
:May I ask why you didn't just fix it instead of bitching at me? So I made a mistake. I was rushing through those pages when I made them because I had to get to class. You could have easily fixed it and posted an edit summary on why you removed things. I pay attention to all edits on everything I've ever created. I would have noticed, and in fact, I saw your edits before you posted this talk page message to me. Also, they do have the CGI "break the border" artwork featured on EX's. It is quite possibly that these Pokémon can be EX's, which is why I said "and may feature it as a {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} card". There is evidence that supports it, and it was written in a way that represents that it both may and may not be an EX. Furthermore, I don't see you creating pages, so relax, and back down a bit. You're coming off as quite rude. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 18:36, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
::lol, you're the one who's being rude! If I sounded rude, it wasn't the intention. I just came here to warn you about it because if I just had done it without telling you, you would probably undo it all, like it usually happens :\. First, I didn't fix the types, because I wasn't really sure on how to change that (that's why I came here to remind you about it). Second, no, they don't have the CGI art that breaks the border, they clealy have hand-drawn art (you should probably look closer). And there's no evidence they will be EX's like you're saying and I don't think it's quite possible at all because of the reasons I said earlier (at least, not in these half decks; the main set may be a different story). [[User:Metalizard|Metalizard]] 05:33, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
:::haha, Pokébeach just confirmed they are not EX's, not even the main set ones. I told you they are only making Legendary Pokémon-EX... [[User:Metalizard|Metalizard]] 06:01, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
::::How ignorant of you. It was the Japanese official site that revealed it. PokéBeach doesn't reveal anything. They just post news. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 16:55, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
:::::Even more ignorant you are by thinking I don't know that it was the official site. I just mentioned Pokébeach because that's where I go to know about TCG News. Seriously, are you so mad just because I was right and you wrong? Or because I ironically corrected you about things that you warned me about in the past? I won't waste my time arguing with you anymore. From now on, everytime I see some detail wrong, or something obvious that should be in a page but isn't, I'll fix it without caring if you agree with it or not. [[User:Metalizard|Metalizard]] 18:31, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
::::::Both of you need to take a chill pill and calm down. Enough with the insults. If you can't continue this conversation without attacking each other then it ends with my comment. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 03:42, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

== TCG card edits ==

Sorry if it was meant to stay in the trivia section of the page. The 3-5 cards had it noted in the intro, so I thought that was where the other should have gone. Sorry if they were meant to stay in the trivia section. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 18:18, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
:I only just started changing them. I didn't get around to fixing cards 3-5. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 18:19, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
::Oh, ok. Again, sorry about doing so. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 18:21, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

== Featured content for today. ==

It's slightly incorrect, as it sounds like if ExtremeSpeed lost its increased priority for Generation III, saying ''In Generation II '''and''' IV''. And since it's protected, I can't edit it. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 09:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

== Remove a page? ==

Think you could remove [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:Dialgafan1/Sandbox this userspace page]]? Appears to be mostly blank party templates with nothing at all in most of them. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 21:32, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

== Brother's Friend Never got an Activation Notice Email ==

My brother's friend says he signed up with an account a couple weeks ago. I didn't see him create the account. There were very little names. He signed up with the name ShadowLugia and he wanted to come on here to make edits, have a profile, contact some people, even interact with me and he has gotten no email in his inbox. I believe that he's still trying to help us with our situation that I'm not a sock of my sibling and he has a sibling of his own. He wants to explain that after he proves that we're not him. My brother also has a friend named Ruckus Jorgee. If he has tried to register and received no activation notice email, please send one to him too. He is neither IMMORAL or AMORAL because whatever Serebii said to him on his profile about a year ago isn't true. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 19:42, 25 February 2012 (UTC))

== TCG Type ==

Hey Nate, would it be okay if the ''Elemental types (TCG)'' page be moved to ''Type (TCG)'' so as to reflect the recent change? TCG is more your domain, so I figure I'd ask before going gung-ho. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] 11:39, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

== Please ==

Can you put my Flora, Bakkie, Akkie, Grace(Unova), Edmond, and Domon pages on your Future Pages sections of your mainspace? [[User:Chomper4|Chomper4]] 14:54, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

== Another user ==

Seems {{tt|this user|Pikman14}} is just using their talk page as an advertisement. They haven't contributed a thing since joining. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 23:33, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
:Provide a link next time, kthnx? {{u|Pikman14|This would have been acceptable}}. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 23:42, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
::Alright. Will do. :) ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 23:49, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

== Mainspaceable ==

I noticed [[User:Force Fire/List of Pokémon by|this]] was on the template, which kinda surprised me. Also my experiment page, which you called "Things" have been moved [[User:Force Fire/TV Shows in the Pokémon World|here]]. Finally, I was hoping you could put [[User:Force Fire/List of anime Pokémon by Capture|this page]] on the template as well, but if it's there already then nevermind.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:58, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

==Double colorless energy image==

Why was it reverted?[[User:Arkenaw|Arkenaw]] 00:16, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

:Because the image names are final and should never be changed. What should have been done is uploading a new version of the old file on the archives, which I have done. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 00:18, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

== TCG images ==

Heya, I'm a new user here at Bulbapedia. Among the first things I attempted to contribute with was uploading [[a:image:DragonBlastAron35.jpg|DragonBlastAron35.jpg]]. The summary included a few errors which another user was kind enough to solve, but there are still a few things I'm wondering if you could help me with.
*The summary fix was good (judging by how it matches most other TCG summaries), but I'm a little puzzled by how it discarded information I tried to add (description, notes, summary). Isn't such information important after all, despite the upload-checklist?
*While the image seems fine, can you check whether there are any errors about it? It'd be troublesome if I start uploading images while unknowingly breaking one or more rules. [[User:FrozenMetal|FrozenMetal]] 20:41, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
:As a general rule here, we don't really reference or source things too much. (On a side note, I edited out your reference addition to one of the Wailord cards, simply because one can see the information stated is true simply by looking at the links provided in the trivia. We could also start doing our own categories like that: cards with so much HP; cards with certain retreat costs. With everything we already have in place, it would take one simple edit to throw all 7000 cards into those categories.)
:Now, back to the concerns you brought up here. It is just something we don't really do here. For card images, we keep the summaries simple and straightforward. Most of the time, cards happen in batches of over 100, and in order to be one of the fastest news sites for them, easy and quick are the best things for us. Not too many people visit the Archives, so extended summaries aren't absolutely necessary, since not enough people would see it for the time investment they would need. Notes aren't too necessary. None of us are really concerned how the image is edited... we pretty much just want them to exist. As for the source: we give credit to those who want it and are on good terms with bulbagarden. Credit is also typically reserved for Bulbanews. We try our best not to have to use things from other leading Pokémon fansites, because we don't want to source them (but we will when we are forced to). When you add a link, you are supporting people going to whatever site you linked. We want people to stay here... especially for TCG. Providing them with a way out makes it so they don't come here. I've personally been trying to add a lot of new TCG features so that people want to stay here. If you are interested, I'll explain what they are to you.
:As for rules and things about the images. Simply because it is a recently released Japanese set, we aren't too concerned with replacing the images we already have. I do understand why you uploaded Aron: It appears that the image was already uploaded on the Archives under a different file name that was not being used on the actual wiki page. It has since been fixed, and I have uploaded the image you provided overtop the image that already existed. We'd like to wait for the English release to upload a better, English image of the card. I'm a firm believer in not having to spend time doing something, just to have to do it again in a few months. There are a lot of things to do for the TCG here: time does not need spent having to redo something, if you understand what I mean. We'd also prefer not taking card images from online and scanning the cards ourselves. I am actually working on something with another online site, and have started personally scanning every card in format.
:One last thing I noticed. I saw in one of your edits that you used the word "Wailords". This is incorrect. The plural of Wailord is simply Wailord. They are like sheep. The plural of every Pokémon is simply the Pokémon name. If you continue editing, do keep this in mind.
:I know I said quite a few things right here. It might be easier if we could start talking in an instant messaging fashion. I like you, and I like what you're doing. If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to bring them to me, and I will try my best to help you out with them.

::Thank you for taking your time to provide a comprehensive answer. Personally I'm a fan of (heavy, if possible) citation, though I won't impose this opinion on Bulbapedia if it's not the norm. You seem like a very devoted contributor to Bulbapedia, and so I won't try to challenge your preferences either. Aside from that, you've probably noticed that I mostly focus on trivia regarding the TCG. For now I'm content with that, but I'm willing to help out with other work if needed (referring to the TCG features you mentioned). Finishing up another thing; the the "Wailords" was merely a slip, I already learned the "plural-rule" from {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Kadabra|39}}. I've also got one more question: Although I already added some trivia about Wailord's HP on its main page, I've gotten the impression such trivia sections rarely (if ever) mention anything TCG-related. Is this a coincidence, or is it usually avoided? 17:25, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

== TCG metagame/terminology ==

We have [[Appendix:Metagame terminology|this]] for videogame terminology, and ''meta'' and ''metagame'' both redirect there. There's no mention made of the "metagame" as to how it is used within the TCG fandom. Do you think it warrants a paragraph there, a new page, or what? --[[User:Politoed666|''P'' ''o'']] [[User talk:Politoed666|''L'' ''i'']] 02:56, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
:I'm sure it could warrant a large section on that page. The page could probably be divided between the two, since they are equally as important. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 20:57, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

== Anime characters in the TCG ==

Hi. Why can't cards like [[Brock's Geodude (Gym Heroes 38)]] be put in {{an|Brock#In the TCG|this section}} of {{an|Brock|Brock's page}}? I know that he has a Geodude in the games, so the card doesn't necessarily reference the anime Brock, but I think it should be included in the list. At the very least, [[Brock's Vulpix (Gym Challenge 37)]], [[Brock's Zubat (Gym Heroes 24)]], etc. should be included; they're clearly based on the anime. [[User:Bulbajer|Bulbajer]] 18:08, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

:The cards came out before the anime episode appeared. There is no way that the cards are based on that specific episode. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 19:57, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
::Actually, [[EP028]] aired ten days before ''Gym Booster 1: Leaders' Stadium'' was released, so both Vulpix and Zubat can be (and obviously are) based on the anime.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 20:33, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
:::This is one of the reasons why I was against splitting off Brock (anime). The TCG can't appropriate the cards that go to game Brock and Anime Brock without speculation. Dennou Zenshi, can you add whatever is appropriate? ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 20:54, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
::::Okay, cool. Thanks guys. [[User:Bulbajer|Bulbajer]] 19:48, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

'''As Cold as Pryce''' (Japanese: '''イノムーとふゆのヤナギ！''' ''{{tt|Inomoo|Piloswine}} and {{tt|Yanagi|Pryce}} of the Winter!'') is the 237th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on February 21, 2002 and in the United States on March 1, 2003.
{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
With the [[Red Gyarados]] ordeal over, {{Ash}} decides to challenge the Gym Leader [[Pryce]] but he isn’t in there. A lady named [[Sheila]] tells Ash and his friends that Pryce goes up to the mountains every morning to meditate under a waterfall. They hurry after her. Meanwhile, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}; who were waiting at the gym, tail them. After finally catching up with Sheila, they see [[Pryce]]. Ash is shocked to see that Pryce is the man who saved them on the bridge in the [[EP236|previous episode]]. Pryce says that it would be pointless to battle Ash, because his emotional bonds with his Pokémon have dulled their senses. After Ash protests, Pryce sends out his {{TP|Pryce|Dewgong}}. He tells Ash that if he can beat {{p|Dewgong}}, he will get his Gym Battle.

Ash battles him with {{AP|Phanpy}} and quickly loses. Pryce leaves after the battle, with Ash following close behind. Sheila yells that it's dangerous to go into the mountains alone. {{TRT}}, who witnessed the whole battle, follow Ash. Soon, Ash gets separated from {{AP|Pikachu}}, and Team Rocket from one another. [[Jessie]] spots Ash and starts the {{motto}}, and when [[James]] says his line they realize that they were both in the same bush. The chase for Pikachu eventually leads to the edge of a cliff, where Ash is cornered. Suddenly, Pryce appears and calls Team Rocket idiots for trying to forcibly steal someone else's Pokémon. {{TP|James|Weezing}} launches a {{m|SmokeScreen}}, sending Ash, Pryce, and Pikachu over the cliff. Ash sends out {{AP|Noctowl}} to help Pryce and {{AP|Totodile}} to break their fall using {{m|Water Gun}}. At the top of the cliff, Team Rocket is arguing over whose idea the {{m|SmokeScreen}} was, when Misty, Brock, and Sheila appear. Brock asks if they saw Ash, and Jessie and James run away, leaving Meowth to spill the beans. Sheila sees a small gully for them to climb down. At the bottom of the cliff, Pryce makes a spicy [[herbal medicine]] to restore Totodile's energy, having exhausted itself from the Water Gun. Pryce thanks Ash for how his Pokémon reacted under duress, but that as close as he is with them, he must retain strict discipline. Back up at the top, Sheila explains that Pryce used to love his Pokémon. Because he treated his Pokémon so coldly, and his favoring of the [[Ice type]], people began calling him "Icy Pryce". As she, Brock, and Misty, descend the cliff, Pryce sees an old leg bracelet, which he says belonged to his {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}}. Now at the bottom, Sheila explains that Pryce once had a Piloswine, that one day just left. Pryce elaborates to Ash, saying that he and Piloswine were once in a national tournament against a {{p|Magmar}}. He and Piloswine were both badly injured, as Pryce ran to protect it. One night, Piloswine just left the snowbound cottage they were recovering in, and Pryce never saw it again. Ever since, Pryce stopped treating Pokémon as friends. They soon enter a cave covered in a thin layer of ice. Ash sees a figure frozen in the ice. With a shock Pryce realizes it is his Piloswine! Pryce notices that it's holding herbs used to treat burns. Ash deduces that it got trapped after looking for herbs to help his friend. Ash then uses {{AP|Cyndaquil}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}} and Pikachu's {{m|ThunderShock}} to revive Piloswine. Piloswine still remembers Pryce, to the old man's delight. Pryce tells Piloswine to use {{m|Rest}}, and explains to Ash what that move does. They then exit the cave and reunite with Sheila, Misty, and Brock. Sheila is also excited to see Piloswine again. Just then, Team Rocket descends, and starts another battle. Pryce takes [[Jessie's Arbok|Arbok]] and Weezing head on with Piloswine, and beats them both. Pikachu sends them off again, and everyone celebrates. Back at the Gym, Pryce tells Ash that he will battle him tomorrow.

===Errors===
* During the [[Who's That Pokémon?]], the clue says "''{{tt|This Pokémon|Magneton}} is composed of three '''Magnemites'''''" with the incorrect plural for Magnemite. The correct plural form for Magnemite, as with all Pokémon, would simply be Magnemite.

== Garchomp and Hydreigon half decks ==

There isn't any indication that they will be featured as Pokémon-EX. All Pokémon-EX so far have been (basic) Legendary Pokémon. Plus, even if they were, their artwork shows they likely won't be EXs (they don't have CGI artwork which is basically a staple in regular EXs), at least in these half decks. What you wrote was pure speculation. Another thing is, how do you know that Roserade and Foongus will be Grass type and not Psychic types and how do you know that Houndoom will be Fire-type and not Dark-type? It seems to me that, since Drifloon is in the deck, Roserade and Foongus will most likely be Psychic-types too, but since anything isn't confirmed, what should be in the page is that they could be featured with either type.

:May I ask why you didn't just fix it instead of bitching at me? So I made a mistake. I was rushing through those pages when I made them because I had to get to class. You could have easily fixed it and posted an edit summary on why you removed things. I pay attention to all edits on everything I've ever created. I would have noticed, and in fact, I saw your edits before you posted this talk page message to me. Also, they do have the CGI "break the border" artwork featured on EX's. It is quite possibly that these Pokémon can be EX's, which is why I said "and may feature it as a {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} card". There is evidence that supports it, and it was written in a way that represents that it both may and may not be an EX. Furthermore, I don't see you creating pages, so relax, and back down a bit. You're coming off as quite rude. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 18:36, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
::lol, you're the one who's being rude! If I sounded rude, it wasn't the intention. I just came here to warn you about it because if I just had done it without telling you, you would probably undo it all, like it usually happens :\. First, I didn't fix the types, because I wasn't really sure on how to change that (that's why I came here to remind you about it). Second, no, they don't have the CGI art that breaks the border, they clealy have hand-drawn art (you should probably look closer). And there's no evidence they will be EX's like you're saying and I don't think it's quite possible at all because of the reasons I said earlier (at least, not in these half decks; the main set may be a different story). [[User:Metalizard|Metalizard]] 05:33, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
:::haha, Pokébeach just confirmed they are not EX's, not even the main set ones. I told you they are only making Legendary Pokémon-EX... [[User:Metalizard|Metalizard]] 06:01, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
::::How ignorant of you. It was the Japanese official site that revealed it. PokéBeach doesn't reveal anything. They just post news. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 16:55, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
:::::Even more ignorant you are by thinking I don't know that it was the official site. I just mentioned Pokébeach because that's where I go to know about TCG News. Seriously, are you so mad just because I was right and you wrong? Or because I ironically corrected you about things that you warned me about in the past? I won't waste my time arguing with you anymore.

== TCG card edits ==

Sorry if it was meant to stay in the trivia section of the page. The 3-5 cards had it noted in the intro, so I thought that was where the other should have gone. Sorry if they were meant to stay in the trivia section. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 18:18, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

It's slightly incorrect, as it sounds like if ExtremeSpeed lost its increased priority for Generation III, saying ''In Generation II '''and''' IV''. And since it's protected, I can't edit it. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 09:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

== Brother's Friend Never got an Activation Notice Email ==

My brother's friend says he signed up with an account a couple weeks ago. I didn't see him create the account. There were very little names. He signed up with the name ShadowLugia and he wanted to come on here to make edits, have a profile, contact some people, even interact with me and he has gotten no email in his inbox. I believe that he's still trying to help us with our situation that I'm not a sock of my sibling and he has a sibling of his own. He wants to explain that after he proves that we're not him. My brother also has a friend named Ruckus Jorgee. If he has tried to register and received no activation notice email, please send one to him too. He is neither IMMORAL or AMORAL because whatever Serebii said to him on his profile about a year ago isn't true. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 19:42, 25 February 2012 (UTC))

==Double colorless energy image==

Why was it reverted?[[User:Arkenaw|Arkenaw]] 00:16, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

:Because the image names are final and should never be changed. What should have been done is uploading a new version of the old file on the archives, which I have done. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 00:18, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

== TCG images ==

Heya, I'm a new user here at Bulbapedia. Among the first things I attempted to contribute with was uploading [[a:image:DragonBlastAron35.jpg|DragonBlastAron35.jpg]]. The summary included a few errors which another user was kind enough to solve, but there are still a few things I'm wondering if you could help me with.
*The summary fix was good (judging by how it matches most other TCG summaries), but I'm a little puzzled by how it discarded information I tried to add (description, notes, summary). Isn't such information important after all, despite the upload-checklist?
*While the image seems fine, can you check whether there are any errors about it? It'd be troublesome if I start uploading images while unknowingly breaking one or more rules. [[User:FrozenMetal|FrozenMetal]] 20:41, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
:As a general rule here, we don't really reference or source things too much. (On a side note, I edited out your reference addition to one of the Wailord cards, simply because one can see the information stated is true simply by looking at the links provided in the trivia. We could also start doing our own categories like that: cards with so much HP; cards with certain retreat costs. With everything we already have in place, it would take one simple edit to throw all 7000 cards into those categories.)
:Now, back to the concerns you brought up here. It is just something we don't really do here. For card images, we keep the summaries simple and straightforward. Most of the time, cards happen in batches of over 100, and in order to be one of the fastest news sites for them, easy and quick are the best things for us. Not too many people visit the Archives, so extended summaries aren't absolutely necessary, since not enough people would see it for the time investment they would need. Notes aren't too necessary. None of us are really concerned how the image is edited... we pretty much just want them to exist. As for the source: we give credit to those who want it and are on good terms with bulbagarden. Credit is also typically reserved for Bulbanews. We try our best not to have to use things from other leading Pokémon fansites, because we don't want to source them (but we will when we are forced to). When you add a link, you are supporting people going to whatever site you linked. We want people to stay here... especially for TCG. Providing them with a way out makes it so they don't come here. I've personally been trying to add a lot of new TCG features so that people want to stay here. If you are interested, I'll explain what they are to you.
:As for rules and things about the images. Simply because it is a recently released Japanese set, we aren't too concerned with replacing the images we already have. I do understand why you uploaded Aron: It appears that the image was already uploaded on the Archives under a different file name that was not being used on the actual wiki page. It has since been fixed, and I have uploaded the image you provided overtop the image that already existed. We'd like to wait for the English release to upload a better, English image of the card. I'm a firm believer in not having to spend time doing something, just to have to do it again in a few months. There are a lot of things to do for the TCG here: time does not need spent having to redo something, if you understand what I mean. We'd also prefer not taking card images from online and scanning the cards ourselves. I am actually working on something with another online site, and have started personally scanning every card in format.
:One last thing I noticed. I saw in one of your edits that you used the word "Wailords". This is incorrect. The plural of Wailord is simply Wailord. They are like sheep. The plural of every Pokémon is simply the Pokémon name. If you continue editing, do keep this in mind.
:I know I said quite a few things right here. It might be easier if we could start talking in an instant messaging fashion. I like you, and I like what you're doing. If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to bring them to me, and I will try my best to help you out with them. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 06:01, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
::Thank you for taking your time to provide a comprehensive answer. Personally I'm a fan of (heavy, if possible) citation, though I won't impose this opinion on Bulbapedia if it's not the norm. You seem like a very devoted contributor to Bulbapedia, and so I won't try to challenge your preferences either. Aside from that, you've probably noticed that I mostly focus on trivia regarding the TCG. For now I'm content with that, but I'm willing to help out with other work if needed (referring to the TCG features you mentioned). Finishing up another thing; the the "Wailords" was merely a slip, I already learned the "plural-rule" from {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Kadabra|39}}. I've also got one more question: Although I already added some trivia about Wailord's HP on its main page, I've gotten the impression such trivia sections rarely (if ever) mention anything TCG-related. Is this a coincidence, or is it usually avoided? 17:25, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

== TCG metagame/terminology ==

We have [[Appendix:Metagame terminology|this]] for videogame terminology, and ''meta'' and ''metagame'' both redirect there. There's no mention made of the "metagame" as to how it is used within the TCG fandom.

== Anime characters in the TCG ==

Hi. Why can't cards like [[Brock's Geodude (Gym Heroes 38)]] be put in {{an|Brock#In the TCG|this section}} of {{an|Brock|Brock's page}}? I know that he has a Geodude in the games, so the card doesn't necessarily reference the anime Brock, but I think it should be included in the list. At the very least, [[Brock's Vulpix (Gym Challenge 37)]], [[Brock's Zubat (Gym Heroes 24)]], etc. should be included; they're clearly based on the anime.

'''Xatu the Future''' (Japanese: '''ネイティオのだいよげん！''' ''{{tt|Natio's|Xatu's}} Big Prediction!'') is the 234th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on January 31, 2002 and in the United States on February 8, 2003.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode starts off with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} walking along a path towards {{to|Mahogany}} as usual. Just ahead of the road, {{TRT}} is finished with creating yet another hole for the gang to fall into. They cover it up fast as soon as Ash is in sight and hide down in some brush that's nearby. Just as the gang walks up, Ash recalls all those times that an ordinary road turns out to be a pitfall trap. Ash jumps about, nothing happens, then tries again. Team Rocket watches and then jumps out, wondering why the pitfall's not working. [[James]] jumps on the ground a few times then all of a sudden, the whole ground caves in and they fall. Just at the bottom, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} pops out and causes them to fall some more, right through a ceiling of a tunnel! They all complain here and there before seeing a woman run by. They wonder what's with her before the woman wonders what's with them. She says she has no time to talk now and has to hurry somewhere. The gang had started to go with the woman towards whatever she is going to.

In the next room of the unknown place was a colossal wire tower built with rings with giant spheres connecting them. Just about halfway, Ash notices a few {{p|Xatu}} perched up on one of the spheres. Ash scans the Xatu and then tries to call out to it, which nothing happens. {{an|Misty}} tries the same thing, then Team Rocket who happened to catch up tries as well. Lost, the woman says that she's {{Jo|Calista}}, the meteorologist of this place, since the people here are superstitious over what the Xatu says. She calls to one and then she runs upwards towards an exit. Everybody else follows her and are amazed that the other side is a giant stone auditorium with a group of people sitting on the bleachers. The Xatu fly up towards a guardrail and Calista grabs out two fans, everybody else does the same. She shouts towards the people, doing different patterns with the fans. Soon the Xatu do similar patterns with their wings and that was it. Calista said there should be rain tomorrow, but otherwise the rest of the day is going to be fine.

Just one thing happens to occur, clouds start to gather around and it starts to rain. Funny... usually the Xatu are right all the time. Calista wonders what's wrong and decides to hold off this little gathering for a while as she runs back in. Everyone else does so and more Xatu join with them. However Team Rocket were ditched on this and everybody won't let them go. So Jessie plays them all a round of Rock-Paper-Scissors (Japanese style) and wins both that and the look-away part, with that they run off. On the bottom of the bunker is a station. Calista and everyone else goes in and watches as Calista sends out a radar to check out what's going on in the area. She explains that this is "Netio-sama", otherwise the last resort of the weather predictions. Even the radar can't scope out this odd storm.

Just after a while, Team Rocket continues their decent downwards until Wobbuffet again messes them up and they crash into the station. They wonder what's with all the technology and stuff and Calista explains that it's the radar system. Then Jessie tries to butt in saying that she was once a meteorologist for a news program. One of the Xatu gets all nervous at this brag. Then [[Jessie]] goes on and on until the Xatu faints from this. Then the Xatu says that he'll figure something out of this. So everybody runs back up.

Once back up, all the {{p|Xatu}} line up and Calista does a few more patterns with the fans. All the Xatu repeat and they go faster with each pattern. Soon she gets the idea, a disasters coming this way! She tells everyone to evacuate the area, and everyone does so, but they leave a something valuable behind. As everyone waits around, {{p|Delibird}} comes by and drops in on Team Rocket, giving them a reminder of what they have to do to stay as members. So they sneak over and try to swipe one of the valuable items but Ash catches them before they could do anything. Then Team Rocket stop playing good and starts to take on their real role. Jessie first tells Delibird to throw a couple of presents at them, which Delibird throws three to each Xatu, all healing them. With that, [[James]] sends out {{TP|James|Weezing}} to use {{m|SmokeScreen}} while Delibird drops in a few more presents. Just when it seems that all is taken care of, Weezing drops the screen and they are surprised to see that the Xatu are still there. Just before they can do anything else, Delibird drops a present next to them and then ditches them before it sends Team Rocket off into the sky.

The Xatu do one final pattern and Calista says they'll teleport away now before the disaster comes by. First the Xatu teleports then the gang and Calista teleport out as well. Just in the nick of time, a giant tidal wave comes through a valley where the place rests and covers the area. Though it's probably not much left, maybe Calista can now pursuit her real goal, meteorologist for a news program. Later Team Rocket are at the ruins of the would be weather station looking for any of those valuables that the people left. Delibird comes by and says it's a no-no, and decides to fly off without them. And it looks like Calista really did get her goal.
