* The opening reverts back to its original animation, having been replaced with assorted clips from [[M19| Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]] since [[XY127]]. <br />
<br />

<div>[[File:Lumiose Conference Stadium.png|thumb|250px|The setting for the competition]]<br />
The '''Lumiose Conference''' (Japanese: '''ミアレ大会''' ''Miare Conference'') is the [[Kalos League]] general [[Pokémon League Conference|championship competition]]. <br />
<br />
The conference is held in [[Lumiose City]], but unlike most other league conferences, the conference isn't held there annually, and its location was only revealed [[XY121|shortly]] before the competition, with the League Stadium still being under construction at the time of the announcement. The conference began in [[XY125]]<!--and concluded in [[XY131]]-->.<br />
<br />
==Competition==<br />
===Opening ceremonies===<br />
The opening ceremony consists of two women releasing multiple {{p|Fletchling}} from a large-sized [[Poké Ball]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Diantha]] welcoming the competing {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.<br />
<br />
===Rounds===<br />
[[File:Lumiose Conference Scoreboard.png|thumb|250px|The scoreboard for the Full Battles]]<br />
====Preliminary rounds====<br />
The preliminary rounds consist of three-on-three matches with random match-ups decided by a computer. When all three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on one side are deemed [[Fainting|unable to battle]] by a [[Battle judge|referee]], the Trainer is knocked out of the tournament. In the first round, the 64 competing Trainers are reduced to 32 Trainers. This continues with each round until there are only eight competitors left for the quarter-finals.<br />
<br />
====Quarter-finals====<br />
The quarter-finals begin when only eight Trainers remain out of the 64 competing Trainers. The quarter-finals consist of three-on-three matches, identical to the match set up in the preliminary rounds. When all three Pokémon on one side are deemed unable to battle by a referee, the Trainer is eliminated. The four winning Trainers will move on to the semi-finals.<br />
<br />
====Semi-finals====<br />
The semi-finals consist of [[Full Battle]]s. When three Pokémon on one side are deemed unable to battle, both Trainers take a short break while the battlefield is changed. When all six Pokémon on one side are deemed unable to battle by a referee, the Trainer is eliminated. The two winning Trainers will move on to face each other in the finals.<br />
<br />
====Finals====<br />
The finals consist of a Full Battle. When three Pokémon on one side are deemed unable to battle, both Trainers take a short break while the battlefield is changed. When all six Pokémon on one side are deemed unable to battle by a referee, the Trainer loses, and their opponent is declared the winner of the Lumiose Conference.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* The Lumiose Conference is the League Conference where Ash has placed the highest, reaching the finals, surpassing his Top 4 position in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].<br />
* With the exception of {{Ash}}, all named participants seen battling in the Lumiose Conference used at least one Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]].<br />
* This is the first [[Pokémon League Conference]] to be held in a city with a [[Gym]] and have Full Battles start only at the semi-finals.<br />
* The Lumiose Conference's location may be a reference to the ending of [[Pokémon X and Y]], where a parade is held in [[Lumiose City]] after the {{player}} becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}}.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* The Lumiose Conference is the League Conference where Ash has placed the highest, reaching the finals, surpassing his Top 4 position in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].<br />
* With the exception of {{Ash}}, all named participants seen battling in the Lumiose Conference used at least one Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]].<br />
* This is the first [[Pokémon League Conference]] to be held in a city with a [[Gym]] and have Full Battles start only at the semi-finals.<br />
* The Lumiose Conference's location may be a reference to the ending of [[Pokémon X and Y]], where a parade is held in [[Lumiose City]] after the {{player}} becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}}.<br />

<i>After Ash's victory at the Laverre Gym, our heroes are walking with Sawyer, who’s completely focused on his battle notebook and not watching where he’s going—until he trips and falls, dropping his notebook in the process! He doesn’t realize this until later, and by that time, Team Rocket has picked it up, determined to make use of all the information within. With the help of his Slurpuff’s talented nose, Sawyer manages to track down his prized possession, and he and Ash battle together to send Team Rocket blasting off again. Then, they decide to battle against each other!<br />
<br />
Ash seems to be firmly in command...until Sawyer’s Treecko evolves into Grovyle and presents Frogadier with quite a challenge! Frogadier pulls off the win, but it’s a close one, and afterward, it’s clear that the two Pokémon are itching for a rematch. Sawyer heads off to challenge the Coumarine Gym, while Serena has her eye on the Pokémon Showcase in Dendemille Town, on the way to Ash’s next Gym battle in Anistar City!</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
Following Ash's win at the [[Laverre City]] [[Laverre Gym|Gym]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, accompanied by [[Sawyer]], head away from the Gym. However, Sawyer trips along the way and as he gets up, he drops his notebook, which is promptly found by {{MTR}}. As soon as [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} look inside the notebook, they see a photograph of [[Steven Stone]], and James instantly recognizes him as the {{pkmn|Champion}} in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]. Meanwhile, {{an|Serena}} treats the group to lots of sweets and [[Poké Puff]]s after Ash's hard-earned victory over [[Valerie]]. Sawyer expresses his awe of Ash's battling style to him, and Ash reminds him that it was due to the Pokémon's efforts that they won the {{Badge|Fairy}}.<br />
<br />
However, at that moment, Sawyer notices that his notebook is gone. He goes into a panic, suddenly remembering that he dropped it where he had tripped earlier. Jessie, James, and Meowth, who still have the notebook, have mistakenly come to the conclusion that it belongs to Steven himself. While James and Meowth are more interested in learning the "Champion's" techniques, Jessie is immediately enamored with him and begins deluding herself with fantasies of someday marrying into his family so that she can be part of the Devon Corporation. Meanwhile, Ash and company, having returned to the bridge where Sawyer's notebook disappears, agree to split up and search for it individually. Later, at the Pokémon Center, they all report having seen no trace of it anywhere. Sawyer tells them how he kept taking notes after every battle he and {{p|Treecko}} had, and they kept getting stronger together, and he also mentions his meeting with Steven Stone and all of the valuable advice Steven gave him.<br />
<br />
Bonnie asks Clemont for an invention to help find the notebook, but Clemont starts to explain that he doesn't even have something like the notebook's smell to work with. Suddenly, Sawyer jumps up in excitement and calls out his {{p|Slurpuff}} to help search for the notebook using its keen sense of smell. With direction from Treecko, Slurpuff races away to try and locate the notebook. James is still poring over its contents, unaware that they were written by a novice Trainer, when Slurpuff arrives. Slurpuff takes the notebook and runs off with it, chased by {{TRT}}, and returns it to Sawyer. When Team Rocket arrives, everyone realizes that they were the ones who stole the notebook. Sawyer quickly corrects them when they refer to it as the Champion's notebook by pointing out Steven's autograph. Angered by this news, Jessie and James decide to fall back on their usual plan of stealing the group's Pokémon. Jessie calls out her {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}} and James his {{TP|James|Inkay}} to face Sawyer's Treecko and [[Ash's Pikachu]]. The battle is short-lived—as attacks from each of the four Pokémon cancel each other out, Pikachu uses another {{m|Thunderbolt}} and easily sends Team Rocket blasting off.<br />
<br />
That night, Serena learns of a [[Pokémon Showcase]] being held in the nearby [[Dendemille Town]] and decides to register for it. She then informs Ash, using her Town Map, that Dendemille Town is also on the way to a city with a Gym—[[Anistar City]], where he agrees to go for his seventh Badge. Sawyer informs the group that he plans on heading to [[Coumarine City]] to try and earn a {{badge|Plant}}. The next morning, Sawyer requests a three-on-three battle with Ash to make up for [[XY073|the one that they never finished]]. The first match is Pikachu against Sawyer's {{p|Bagon}}. Pikachu begins with {{m|Quick Attack}}, overpowering Bagon's {{m|Headbutt}} with superior speed. After a collision of {{m|Dragon Breath}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}}, Pikachu breaks through {{m|Dragon Claw}} with an {{m|Iron Tail}} attack to defeat Bagon and win the first round. The second match is then decided to be Slurpuff against {{AP|Hawlucha}}. Although Slurpuff uses {{m|Electro Ball}}, a super effective move, Hawlucha dodges and strikes back with {{m|Karate Chop}}. However, Sawyer becomes distracted checking his notebook and fails to notice Hawlucha's {{m|Flying Press}}, resulting in Slurpuff's defeat.<br />
<br />
Ash calls to Sawyer, reminding him to stay calm during a battle, because the Pokémon will feel the same way as the Trainer during a match. Sawyer remembers Ash's Gym battle and sees the truth in Ash's advice, bringing out his Treecko to battle against {{AP|Frogadier}}. Sawyer is momentarily caught off-guard by Frogadier's use of {{m|Aerial Ace}}, but he recovers and Treecko strikes back with repeated {{m|Bullet Seed}} attacks. As Frogadier manages to evade most of them, Sawyer remembers to stay calm and Treecko uses {{m|Agility}}. Despite the boost in speed, however, Treecko is still struck by Frogadier's {{m|Water Pulse}}. In response, Treecko evolves into {{TP|Sawyer|Grovyle}}, and Ash tells Sawyer that Treecko evolved because of his feelings. Sawyer uses Grovyle's new move, {{m|Leaf Blade}}, to counter {{m|Double Team}}, but Frogadier still manages to get the better of Grovyle with another Aerial Ace. The two Pokémon continue trading and dodging attacks at high speeds, but thanks to a surprise attack by Frogadier at the very end, Grovyle is knocked out and the final round goes to Ash as well. Everyone notices Grovyle's newfound rivalry with Frogadier, and Sawyer and Grovyle are more determined than ever to get stronger and challenge Ash to a rematch someday.<br />

<i>Team Magma and Team Aqua continue to fight on Monsu Island. The Red Orb, which can control Kyogre, is currently held by the Team Aqua Leader Archie. Archie merges with the orb and now crazed as a result, orders Kyogre to sink the island.<br />
<br />
Everyone tries to flee into the ruins on the island, while Lance challenges Kyogre with his Dragonite. Dragonite's Hyper Beam is not strong enough to stop the ancient Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket still wants to steal Groudon, restrained inside the Team Aqua base. Instead, they are attacked by a possessed Pikachu, who awakens Groudon. The giant Ground-type leaves the base and begins a massive battle with Kyogre, but the two are evenly matched.<br />
<br />
The kids find a way to distract Kyogre, which gives Groudon the opportunity to defeat the Water-type. The orbs leave the bodies of Archie and Pikachu, floating up in the air until they merge and then disintegrate. Archie and Pikachu both come back to their senses, while the two Legendary Pokémon retreat back into their ancient slumber.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
The episode opens with a recap of the previous episode’s events. After that, it’s back to the [[Team Magma]] vs [[Team Aqua]] confrontation from the last episode. We see the ocean beginning to get violent, and [[Shelly]] informs [[Archie]] that {{p|Kyogre}} is free from captivity. Archie summons Kyogre with the {{DL|Colored orbs|Red Orb}}. Team Magma begins to protest, so Shelly orders Team Aqua to bring out their Pokémon to protect Archie. They send out their {{p|Walrein}}, and Team Magma sends out their {{p|Mightyena}}. As the Pokémon battle it out, Archie makes his escape in some kind of mini-helicopter. [[Tabitha]] advises [[Maxie]] that they have to stop Archie. Tabitha then barks an order to the still-disguised [[Lance]], who hurries off. Just then, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}}, and [[Max]] arrive, stopping far enough away and behind some bushes so as not to be seen. They comment with surprise that both teams are present.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is cowering in fear on a rocky ledge at the shore. From his mini-copter, Archie holds up the orb and summons Kyogre, who appears amid a thunderstorm and a raging ocean. Archie then taunts Maxie about how he will conquer the world. He then states that he intends to drown the island under the ocean. Maxie protests (with seemingly genuine concern) that doing so will put people on the island in danger, including members of Team Aqua. However Archie replies that he doesn't care. Shelly and the rest of Team Aqua become shocked at their leader's willingness to sacrifice their lives. They then start to worry about what will happen. Lance, who is standing next to Maxie, removes his hood and calls up to Archie, warning him to stop before anything worse happens, but Archie ignores him. As Kyogre is wreaking havoc out on the water in response to Archie’s commands, Shelly tells the rest of Team Aqua to recall their Pokémon for their own safety. Tabitha tells Team Magma to do the same. Lance now informs Maxie that Kyogre and {{p|Groudon}} are about to fight, and explains the world-shaking consequences of such a conflict, as Archie laughs maniacally from his mini-chopper. Kyogre’s disturbance causes a tremor that makes the downed Magma helicopter to shift, throwing {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} around. The same tremor throws Lance and Maxie to the ground. Inside, Pikachu awakens, and its body is taken over by the orb again. It goes insane again, and one of its attacks causes a small hole that’s just big enough for it to leap through. It does so and runs off. <br />
<br />
Brock and the others, meanwhile, are searching for Ash near the Magma chopper, when they meet up with Lance. They’re happy to see each other, and Lance removes his Magma disguise completely, as it’s no longer needed. They happen to be standing outside what apparently is the hole Pikachu made, and Ash hears them from inside. Ash tells them what happened with Pikachu. They notice something behind them, and Max exclaims that there’s a giant tsunami coming! Lance tells Ash to back away from the hole, and he then sends out his Dragonite, who uses its {{m|Dragon Claw}} to make the hole large enough for Ash to get out. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is still on the shore, cowering in fear at the storm. As they sit there, Team Aqua’s sub suddenly washes up on shore along with Kyogre's tsunami, nearly crushing them! Back at the helicopter, Ash is now free, so it’s time to find Pikachu. Ash thanks Lance, and they split up. Lance rides off on Dragonite to look from the air, and Ash and {{ashfr}} run off in another direction. <br />
<br />
The scene then changes to Team Aqua. Shelly is worried about Archie, and she tells the rest of the team to leave because they’re all in danger. Flying in his mini-chopper above Kyogre, Archie is basking in his power. Riding {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}, Lance approaches Archie and calls for him to stop. Archie responds by ordering Kyogre to attack. It fires a {{m|Hydro Pump}} at Lance and Dragonite, which Dragonite is able to dodge. Lance calls for his nearby Red Gyarados to use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and Archie tells Kyogre to do the same. The beams collide, and it ends in a stalemate. Archie just laughs, proclaiming that the world is his now. Suddenly, the Red Orb he’s holding absorbs into his hand, in the same way the {{DL|Colored orbs|Blue Orb}} did with Pikachu! Archie screams, then laughs insanely as the orb’s throbbing markings appear on his chest.<br />
<br />
Back on land, Team Rocket discuss their situation and examine Team Aqua’s sub. When they confirm through an on board computer that Groudon is in the large metal box at the top, Meowth launches into a storybook-style fantasy about what they’d do with Groudon and Kyogre. Suddenly, a lightning bolt out of nowhere shocks Team Rocket — it’s the possessed Pikachu! Jessie comments on how strange it looks. Ash and his friends run towards Pikachu, but it leaps off the ledge it was on and lands on top of the metal box containing Groudon. Maxie and Tabitha arrive at the sub in time to see Pikachu channel the lightning from the storm into itself and amplify its power. James whips out a bazooka and aims it at Pikachu, but it quickly shocks them and sends them blasting off. Pikachu is still calling on the lightning, and everyone else can do nothing but watch. Then, the biggest lightning bolt yet comes crashing down towards Pikachu and the box, sending enough of a shock through the containment system to awaken Groudon! Archie and Kyogre watch intently as the lightning creates an explosion and Ash screams out for Pikachu. The volcano on the island erupts as Groudon’s {{a|Drought}} [[Ability]] begins to take effect, bringing an end to the storm. Groudon then comes into full view, and Pikachu lands on its head. Ash and his friends are happy that it’s still alive. Kyogre roars and launches a yet another tsunami, which even bigger than the last one. Groudon has things under control though, as it powers up and launches a {{m|Solar Beam}} at the giant wave, causing it to evaporate. On land, members of both teams comment on how truly powerful Groudon and Kyogre are. Apparently, neither side had realized it would come to this. Still on Dragonite, Lance notices Pikachu on Groudon’s head, and lands next to Ash & co. Lance warns them of the danger and says they should make a run for it. Ash says he won’t leave Pikachu, and his friends agree to stay as well. They also decide that since Pikachu has apparently sided with Groudon, they will too. <br />
<br />
Out on the water, Kyogre fires a Hydro Pump at Groudon, and Max exclaims that the attack would do major damage because of Groudon’s {{type|Ground}}. Groudon is safe though, as Pikachu deflects the attack with a super-powered {{m|Thunderbolt}}. The sun’s rays are beginning to energize Groudon now. Lance tells Ash to come with him, and tells Brock and the others to take his Red {{p|Gyarados}} and try to stop Archie. Just as Dragonite carries Ash and Lance out over the water, Kyogre pulls Groudon underwater. Ash screams out for Pikachu, but Lance says to wait. Sure enough, they both resurface. As Kyogre’s Hyper Beam collides with Groudon’s {{m|Mud Shot}}, Brock and May go into action, sending out {{TP|Brock|Mudkip|Marshtomp}} and {{TP|May|Beautifly}}. Their Pokémon attack Archie’s mini-chopper with {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Silver Wind}} respectively, causing it to momentarily go out of balance. Archie notices their presence, and he sends Kyogre after them. Max calls for Gyarados to swim away. As they keep Kyogre occupied, Groudon fires a Solar Beam at it. Archie alerts Kyogre, who puts up another giant wave as a shield, but the Solar Beam bursts right through and scores a powerful hit on Kyogre, sending it flying back to land in the water again. Above, we see Archie’s body rejecting the orb, which was apparently caused when Kyogre got hit. The orb emerges from Archie’s body, and Archie faints and falls off his chopper, but Dragonite catches him. The same thing that happened to Archie is also now happening to Pikachu. It yells as the orb removes itself from its body. Pikachu faints as well and falls off Groudon’s head, landing in the water. Ash promptly leaps off Dragonite, diving in after Pikachu. Brock tells Gyarados to go down and save them. Ash catches Pikachu underwater, but Kyogre is approaching them! <br />
<br />
The scene then changes to the shore. Lance and Dragonite have landed with Archie. Lance, Dragonite, Tabitha, and Maxie look on as Shelly worriedly tries to get Archie to wake up. He slowly comes around, but seems to have no memory of what happened while he was possessed by the orb. <br />
<br />
Presently, Ash and Pikachu emerge from the water, on Kyogre’s back! Gyarados catches up to them, and Ash’s friends ask if he’s all right. Ash tells them that Kyogre had saved him, and then Pikachu wakes up. Ash and Pikachu have a happy reunion. Lance and Dragonite show up next to Ash, and Lance asks if he’d like a ride back to shore. Max then points out the two orbs, rising in the air and circling each other. They combine into one, and then dissipate. Groudon and Kyogre stare at each other briefly, and now that neither of them is linked to an orb, they retreat back to their respective lairs: Groudon into the volcano, and Kyogre to an ocean trench. Lance and the others discuss the day’s events, and Lance says that the two [[legendary Pokémon]] will start a new world, as Ash wonders where they’ll go.<br />

* When {{TRT}} are cowering and hugging on the shore, [[Jessie]]'s lipstick is missing.<br />
* Despite {{a|Drought}} being active, Groudon has to charge up its {{m|Solar Beam}}. Also, even though Groudon's {{m|Fissure}} hits Kyogre cleanly, it does not knock out Kyogre. These may be examples of [[anime physics]].<br />

<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/08_05-gaining-groudon/--><br />
<i>The kids are floating on logs at sea when a red submarine appears beneath them, belonging to Team Magma. At the floating Magma base, the kids are taken into custody. Team Magma Leader Maxie explains to them about how he has the Blue Orb in his possession, allowing him to control Groudon. Unfortunately, the Legendary Pokémon they currently have in their possession is Kyogre.<br />
<br />
A disguised Shelly of Team Aqua sneaks away and unlocks Kyogre, setting off an alarm. Kyogre awakens and busts out of the floating base, causing it to begin sinking. In the chaos, the kids try to grab the orb, and Pikachu accidentally absorbs it and goes berserk.<br />
<br />
Ash is separated from his friends and attacked by a Team Magma member. He meets what appears to be another member of Team Magma—but it's really Lance of the Elite Four in disguise! Lance has also sent his red Gyarados to go help Ash's friends.<br />
<br />
Both Teams Magma and Aqua end up on Monsu Island, along with Team Rocket, who wants to steal both Legendary Pokémon. Of course, it's no good, as Kyogre is under the control of the Red Orb, which is currently in Team Aqua's possession...</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
At the end of [[AG096|the previous episode]], {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} had blasted off {{TRT}} one way, and Pikachu, {{Ash}}, and {{ashfr}} the other way. Ash and his friends are now floating in the ocean, hanging onto logs, wondering what to do now as the ferry to [[Mossdeep City]] is long gone and there are no other boats in sight. Suddenly, a giant submarine surfaces right under them! They are now riding it, and conclude that someone has rescued them. They call out towards the submarine's conning tower, trying to attract someone's attention, when to their surprise, a [[Team Magma]] member rises from it! They hide as the member, who turns out to be [[Tabitha]], looks through his binoculars towards their destination up ahead. From their hiding place out of Tabitha's view, Ash and his friends recognize him and realize the sub belongs to Team Magma. They watch as the sub heads for an opening in a much larger ship ahead.<br />
<br />
Once the sub reaches the dock inside, two crew members acknowledge their boss, [[Maxie]], who is waiting for them. Maxie notices Ash and his friends, now exposed to everyone's sight, frantically looking for another place to hide. After forcing them on deck with their hands raised, the team then encircles Ash and his friends, and they use two of their Mightyena to guard the prisoners. While they talk, another female Magma member slips unnoticed out of the sub, and heads off another way. Maxie and Tabitha confer briefly about the possibility of [[Team Aqua]] being nearby, then the scene switches to the mysterious female Magma member. She approaches two male grunts that are guarding a door. Two well-placed punches later, both grunts are out cold. The woman then pulls back her hood to reveal that she is actually Tactical Commander [[Shelly]] of Team Aqua. She goes into the door, entering a room that houses {{p|Kyogre}}'s containment chamber. Yes, Team Magma has captured Kyogre, and Team Aqua wants it. Shelly punches a code into the control panel for the chamber, and a rush of steam comes from several vents inside it. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Team Magma has taken their captives to Maxie's office on the ship. Maxie tells Ash and his friends to sit down so they can talk, but Ash angrily refuses, saying he'd rather stand. In response, the {{p|Mightyena}} growl fiercely at the captives. This frightens {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and the group finally sits down. Ash promptly yells at Maxie, the Mightyena growl again, and May calls Ash's name in a scared voice, meaning he should calm down. Tabitha jumps in, saying nobody talks to his boss that way, but Maxie calms him down. Maxie goes on to explain about their plans to increase the earth's land, and surprises Ash and his friends by saying they plan to awaken the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Groudon}}. They have currently captured a Kyogre, which Team Aqua is after, and they know that Team Aqua has a Groudon, so they want to swap prisoners. A {{DL|Colored orbs|Blue Orb}} rises from Maxie's desk, and he explains that whoever holds the orb can control a Groudon, giving him ultimate power. Team Magma plans to use that power to increase the world's land and finally defeat Team Aqua.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Shelly has now managed to increase the humidity in Kyogre's chamber to enough of a level that it can be revived. Alarm sirens sound in that room, and even as far up as Maxie's office. Everyone is startled, and Maxie hits the button for the intercom on his desk. A Magma grunt's voice on the intercom explains the situation. Kyogre has now fully awakened, and Shelly calls out for it to break free. It breaks its bonds without much difficulty, but can't break its muzzle. Regardless, it plunges through the wall and into the ocean, causing the ship to tilt violently to one side. A red-haired male Magma grunt confronts Shelly on the ship's deck. She removes her Magma disguise, revealing her Team Aqua wet suit, and leaps overboard into the water. <br />
<br />
Back in Maxie's office, scrambled intercom reports of the confusion related to Kyogre's escape are still pouring in. Suddenly, a blast (apparently from Kyogre) knocks Maxie down and sends the Blue Orb flying. {{an|Brock}} exclaims that now’s their chance to get it, so Ash gets Pikachu to do so. Tabitha has the three Mightyena who had been guarding them try to stop Pikachu, but Pikachu jumps from one Mightyena’s head to the other, and finally to the orb. Pikachu lands, having successfully caught it. Suddenly, a quick cutscene shows an opening eye and a growl, and the Blue Orb starts to glow and absorb itself into Pikachu’s body! Pikachu writhes in pain briefly, and at Maxie’s suggestion, Tabitha takes the opportunity to have the Mightyena attack. Hearing them, a possessed Pikachu turns around and defeats all three with a supercharged {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Pikachu sways back and forth from the strain, and Tabitha pulls out a [[Poké Ball]], but just then, another explosion hits the wall behind him. Ash and his friends take that opportunity to escape. Tabitha helps his boss up, and Maxie says they’ve got to get that Pikachu back. <br />
<br />
Not far away, Team Aqua's sub surfaces, as Shelly reports to Aqua Leader Archie that the operation to release Kyogre was successful. Archie holds up the {{DL|Colored orbs|Red Orb}}, and it glows, summoning Kyogre, who releases a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at Team Aqua's ship. On that ship, the red-haired Magma member pulls out a Poké Ball, noting that the situation has now turned drastic. But then he notices Ash and his friends on the deck below him, recognizing Ash and wondering what he's doing mixed up in all this. Brock says their only chance is to abandon ship, so he dives into the water along with May and Max. Ash and Pikachu are about to follow when they're suddenly blindsided by one of Tabitha's Mightyena. Tabitha gloats, having cornered Ash. <br />
<br />
May, Max, and Brock now surface and wonder where Ash is. Then, they notice that he's been captured! Tabitha and his two Mightyena are bringing Ash onto Team Magma's helicopter. Tabitha confers with a teammate, while the mysterious red-headed grunt listens. The helicopter takes off from Team Magma's ship as Archie watches from his sub. With the Red Orb still in hand, [[Archie]] promptly has Kyogre finish off the ship, so it is sure to sink. This creates a powerful downward current that pushes May, Max, and Brock deeper into the water, but…something…is following them.<br />
<br />
The scene then switches to show Team Rocket, lying on a beach with the wind knocked out of them. This is where they had landed following the previous episode's blastoff. They recognize Team Magma's helicopter flying overhead, and wonder what they're up to. Meanwhile, out in the ocean, a [[Red Gyarados]] surfaces, carrying an unconscious May, Max, and Brock. They awaken, and May and Max promptly get scared when they realize they're on a Gyarados, but Brock recognizes it as [[Lance]]'s. <br />
<br />
While this is going on, it's time for the big meeting between Teams Aqua and Magma. Magma's helicopter lands, and the team gets out. Archie reveals that he has two Team Magma hostages, and offers to trade them for the Blue Orb. Team Rocket are watching this from not far off, and are stunned at the mentions of Groudon and Kyogre in the negotiations. After some more discussion, Archie reveals to Maxie that he already has the Red Orb and can control Kyogre, and that he'll be unstoppable if he can get the Blue Orb as well. Team Rocket comments on this, and decide to catch Groudon and Kyogre to give to the {{an|Giovanni|Boss}}. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Ash and Pikachu are still trapped in Team Magma's helicopter, and guarded by several grunts outside. Pikachu is still in pain from having absorbed the Blue Orb. Suddenly, it glows with those red markings again and breaks free of Ash's grip. It then basically goes insane, letting out massive bursts of electricity everywhere, including one that just misses Ash, before finally [[fainting]] from the strain. Worried, Ash picks it up, but then notices the red-haired Magma member from earlier at the door. Ash is angry at first, but the Magma member removes his hood to reveal that he's Lance. He quietly fills Ash in on the situation, and Ash explains what happened to Pikachu. Lance doesn't think Pikachu is in life-threatening danger, so he reassures Ash and explains more about what's going on. <br />
<br />
By now, May and Max have calmed down about the Gyarados, since Brock has been explaining to them about who Lance is and how he and Ash know him, as Gyarados takes them to the island where everyone is. Another scene-switch shows Team Rocket observing Team Aqua's sub. They know from what they overheard that Team Aqua is keeping Groudon and Kyogre captive there. Two Aqua guards with their {{p|Crawdaunt}} make their rounds, but after they have gone by one of the storage containers, part of the wall falls down, and Team Rocket emerges. They'd disguised themselves with a fake wall similar to {{tc|Ninja Boy}} Trainers. They tiptoe off, and come to a control panel and monitor that shows where Kyogre is being held now. Jessie pulls out a bazooka, and {{MTR}} enters a password on the keyboard, but it doesn't work. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] tease Meowth as he presses random buttons, eventually shutting down the computer. Jessie and Meowth argue, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} tries a button that causes an explosion. The door Team Rocket wanted opens, and they rejoice, but are stopped short by the Aqua guards and their Crawdaunt. <br />
<br />
Back at the showdown between Archie and Maxie, Shelly receives a report on her radio about Team Rocket, and Archie blames Team Magma for the intrusion. Maxie denies any involvement. The scene switches to May, Max, and Brock running towards the action. A storm quickly starts, and they decide to hurry. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, James sends out {{TP|James|Cacnea}} to deal with the two Crawdaunt. A single {{m|Pin Missile}} is all that's necessary to let Team Rocket go by, and they quickly approach Kyogre's tank. Jessie fires a net from her bazooka that envelops Kyogre, and she then presses a button that electrifies the net, attempting to weaken the {{type|Water}}. It seems that her voltage wasn't nearly high enough though, since the electricity merely alerted Kyogre. It jumps out of the water, sending the electrified net back onto Team Rocket and blasting them off. The explosion causes a fire in Kyogre's containment chamber. <br />
<br />
Still captive in Team Magma's helicopter, Ash is holding Pikachu, trying desperately to calm it down as it goes insane again, letting out bolts of electricity everywhere. Ash is getting hurt, but won't let go of Pikachu this time.<br />

===Errors===<br />
* In the Pokémon Trainer's Choice, the answer of who would be most effective against Plusle and Minun was Mudkip. However, Mudkip itself is not a {{type|Ground}}, meaning that it is technically the ''least'' effective, while Treecko, as a {{type|Grass}}, is the most resistant to Electric moves.<br />
** However, it does evolve into a {{p|Marshtomp|Ground-type}}.<br />
* When Archie commands Kyogre to attack Team Magma's ship for the first time, Kyogre's wing patterns begin to glow. For a split second before the patterns start to glow, they are missing.<br />
* When Team Rocket see Team Magma flying over head and Jessie sits up, James gloves and boots are colored purple instead of their usual slate gray.<br />
* As the two Team Aqua Grunts are walking past Kyogre's cargo hold on patrol, the white stripes are missing from the female grunt's shirt.<br />

==Blurb==<br />
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/05_41-beauty-is-skin-deep/--><br />
<i>Finally reaching the outskirts of Blackthorn City, Ash pushes to quickly seek out the gym where he hopes to earn his final Johto badge. Before he has the opportunity, he chances into a Dratini and learns that its eager trainer, Clair, is in fact the Blackthorn Gym leader. Ash's attempt to challenge her to a duel—and Brock's attempts at getting her phone number—are both cut short when Team Rocket arrives, intent on stealing the Gym Leader's Dratini right out from under her. After dispatching with these hapless villains, Ash secures Clair's promise to face him in her gym. Cheerfully Ash and friends march the last few miles into the city.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
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 woman appears, threatening them if they try to harm the Dratini. After the confusion is sorted, the woman 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.<br />
<br />
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 Dratini for herself, thinking that it is cute.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The next day, Ash and his friends finally make it to the city gates of Blackthorn City, as the Blackthorn Gym awaits.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* This episode begins the five part [[Blackthorn City]] arc.<br />
* The English title of this episode is based on the saying ''Beauty is only skin deep''.<br />
* Music from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' can be heard in the background.<br />
* Near the end of the episode, Kaburagi says, "Yes, once a dragon Pokemon becomes a star, it watches over all dragon Pokémon. At least, that's what the popular legends tell us happens". This may be a reference to the movie ''{{wp|Dragonheart}}'', which also tells that in their legends, when a dragon dies, it becomes a star in the sky where it watches over us from.<br />
* Due to the banning of [[EP035]], this episode marks the first in-the-flesh appearance of a Dratini in the dub, effectively making it the final Generation I Pokémon to debut in the dub.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* The beams connecting the basket to the {{MTR}} head on {{TRT}}'s balloon appear to be entirely green for a second.<br />
* [[Clair]]'s {{p|Dratini}}'s eyes are all black at the beginning of the episode, but the rest of the time there is red on the bottoms of its eyes.<br />
* {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} uses Counter against {{AP|Pikachu}}'s Thunderbolt, when it should have been Mirror Coat.<br />
* When [[James]] sends out his {{TP|James|Weezing}}, it's facing the opposite direction.<br />
* When Ash was showing his badges to Clair, it is seen that he stands up. However in the next scene, he is sitting down even though it never showed him sitting down.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
* Clair refers to her rice balls as sandwiches.<br />

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, and is believed to be based on the {{ga|Red|protagonist}} of the [[Generation I|first generation]] Pokémon games. <br />
<br />
He shares his Japanese name—which can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智)—with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun of the original English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]." <br />

==In the anime==<br />
{{cleanup|section}}<br />
===Character===<br />
Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]].<br />
<br />
One particular characteristic about Ash that has not changed over the course of the series aside from his determination and his passion for raising and training Pokémon is that he is incredibly selfless. He will often (and this has happened for just about every one of his Pokémon) go to extraordinary lengths to earn a Pokémon's trust and respect; and he will often go out of his way to better understand a Pokémon that he sees as troubled. He is also very fair-minded and trusting, a true testament to his good-natured character.<br />
<br />
===History===<br />
[[File:Ash anime.png|200px|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]]]]<br />
Ash enrolled in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp when he was young. One day, another camper named {{an|Serena}} got lost in the forest and wounded her leg after getting startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}. Ash, who was looking for the Poliwag, came to her rescue and wrapped a handkerchief wounded knee to brace it. He then helped her up and guided her out of the forest.<br />
<br />
Years later, Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash and amateur [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the cheeky {{AP|Pikachu}} from Professor Oak as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he broke his alarm clock in his sleep and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe he formed a strong bond of friendship with Pikachu. This would set his course for the future.<br />
[[File:Ash fleeing Spearow.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]<br />
However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. The [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}}, was caught by luck, as he knew absolutely nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was hesitant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five Gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when, owing to his inexperience, his {{AP|Charizard}}, one of his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]] to the powerful Fire type.<br />
<br />
Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight Badges he went on to compete in the [[Indigo League]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary, and ending up in the top 16. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skills; take on new challenges; and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions - triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash AG.png|190px|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]<br />
Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to {{ashfr}}, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.<br />
[[File:AshAura.png|thumb|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]<br />
Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This is shown when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]'', however, while she was under his ownership, he chased after her in the same manner as before.<br />
<br />
In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on {{ashfr}}, particularly the maternal skills of Brock. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.<br />
<br />
He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in five [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.<br />
[[File:Ash DP 1.png|thumb|200px|Ash in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]<br />
Ash has gained a close connection with many [[legendary Pokémon]], including {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}, {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|M02}}, {{OBP|Celebi|M04}}, {{OBP|Latias|M05}}, {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, {{OBP|Shaymin|M11}}, {{mov|Giratina}}, {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}, {{OBP|Victini|M14}}, {{OBP|Reshiram|M14}}{{tt|*|Black—Victini and Reshiram}}, {{OBP|Zekrom|M14}}{{tt|*|White—Victini and Zekrom}} and {{an|Meloetta}}. In the English dub [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted. <br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Wallace Cup.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]<br />
Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities, as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. Therefore, he made a connection with Sir Aaron's {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|08}}. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient aura guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. This time, however, he merely senses the aura, rather than manipulating it.<br />
<br />
Ash has also participated in {{pkmn|Contest}}s. He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, as well as one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the Contests held there. Ash carries half of a broken [[Poké Ball]] with him everywhere, while Gary has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of a [[Ribbon]] he received in a Contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto. Ash also participated in the [[Wallace Cup]] on the suggestion of [[Wallace]] but he lost in the second stage of the [[Contest Battle|Battle Round]].<br />
<br />
Ash soon obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym Badges. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4, during which time he defeated his long-time Sinnoh rival [[Paul]] for the first time, and fought against {{si|Tobias}}, becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Though he lost later on in the battle, he seems to be okay with losing, as he has become closer to his Pokémon than ever before. Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and Brock then set off on their own paths to follow their respective dreams, with Brock saying he will no longer be joining Ash on his next journey.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash BW.png|thumb|left|165px|Ash in {{series|Best Wishes}}]]<br />
In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash came with Professor Oak and his mom on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the legendary {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. In [[Unova]], he brought along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.<br />
<br />
During his time in Unova, along with his quest for the Badges, Ash also competed in the local competitions [[Club Battle]], [[Clubsplosion]] and [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Despite battling quite well, he failed to win any of the tournaments and managed to be the runner-up of two of the three. Despite these mishaps, he didn't feel bad for seeing his friends winning the awards. After managing to obtain the Unova Badges he was allowed to participate in the [[Vertress Conference]] along with his current and some new rivals. In the preliminary round, he battled Trip one-on-one, defeating him for the first time and ending their rivalry. Ash also defeated his friend and rival [[Stephan]]. He then battled one of his recent rivals, {{un|Cameron}}, where he lost in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'', making it to the top 8 of the Vertress Conference.<br />
<br />
In the {{series|XY}}, Ash traveled to the [[Kalos]] region with [[Alexa]], whom he met while traveling in the [[Decolore Islands]]. He first visited [[Lumiose City]] in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where he parted ways with Alexa and tried to challenge the [[Lumiose Gym]] at Prism Tower, only to be forcibly ejected from the tower when the computerized security system, later revealed to be the [[Clembot]], found out that he didn't have any badges. He was rescued by {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}, who started to travel with him after he calmed down a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} at the top of Prism Tower. In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', Ash won his first Kalos Badge, the [[Bug Badge]], after defeating the [[Santalune Gym|Santalune Gym Leader]] [[Viola]]. The group was also joined by Serena, who still remembered Ash rescuing her in her childhood and decided to start her own journey to reunite with him, although he initially did not remember the two of them meeting. In ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]'', Ash learned that Clemont is the Lumiose City [[Gym Leader]]. Although initially angry that his friend would keep such a secret from him, he quickly forgave Clemont and encouraged him to take back the Gym from the Clembot, the robot that had taken over the Gym and ejected him when he tried to challenge it. Even though the badge requirement ceased to be an issue after this, he still decided not to challenge the Gym until he had four badges and decided that his opponent would be Clemont rather than the Clembot.<br />

<br />
===Family===<br />
Ash is an only child that lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.<br />
<br />
His father has not been introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town, and that he is still living. In the original, he is also confirmed to have a grandfather, and his son (Ash's father) followed his footsteps. [[File:Ash with his Pokémon.png|thumb|280px|Ash with all his Pokémon as of ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' (except for {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Primeape}}) at Professor Oak's lab]]An interview with the series' storyboarder [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to Hidaka, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to further Ash's maturity and development as a Trainer. On the other hand, according to [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s novelization, Ash's father left home to go on a journey right after Ash was born, and never returned since. As he never registered his name in the Pokémon Trainer's list, his whereabouts are unknown.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
<!--Only confirmed genders are listed. Half-confirmed genders, such as dub only, do not count.--><br />
As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. He seems to battle best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care. Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits.<br />

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}<br />
Ash Ketchum is a starring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a manga series based on the anime. Ash's journey in The Electric Tale of Pikachu follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].<br />
<br />
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===<br />
Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, made cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Ash and {{ashfr}} have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).<br />

[[File:Ash Ketchum PDP.png|thumb|150px|right|Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl|Sakai Takayuki}}]]<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon]]<br />
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]<br />
* Ash has never officially caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, {{t|Ghost}}, or {{t|Fairy}} types. <br />
** This excludes both his unofficial {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, a {{2t|Ghost|Poison}}-type, and in ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, where he caught a {{p|Slowpoke}}, a {{2t|Water|Psychic}}-type.<br />
* The date of Ash's birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.<br />
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.<br />
* Ash can {{wp|drawing|draw}}, as shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' when he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}.<br />
* Ash has been shown to be a good climber, as mentioned in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' (when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} say "He climbs like a {{p|Mankey}}!") and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' (when Brock calls him a "human {{p|Aipom}}"). Ash's climbing ability has also been shown in several episodes throughout the series, such as ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', when he climbs up a tree to try to save {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}.<br />
* Ash has lost a match against every {{type|Normal}} [[Gym Leader]] he has faced: [[Whitney]] in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', [[Norman]] in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]'', [[Lenora]] in ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora]]'', and [[Cheren]] in ''[[BW111|There's a New Gym Leader in Town!]]''.<br />

==Blurb==<br />
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-16/episode-33-16_33-butterfree-and-me/--><br />
<i>Our heroes’ Decolore Island cruise continues, and the next exciting stop on their journey is Wayfarer Island! It’s a beautiful place that serves as a rest stop for all kinds of Pokémon during their migration. Ash, Iris, and Cilan head off to the mountains for some serious Pokémon-watching!<br />
<br />
Their timing is perfect, and they get to watch a group of Metapod evolve into Butterfree and take wing! But after the Butterfree head off on their migration, a lone Caterpie emerges from the woods. It seems Caterpie wasn’t ready to evolve yet, and now it’s alone. Ash remembers that the first Pokémon he ever caught was a Caterpie, and he’s determined to help this one! But there’s a problem: Caterpie isn’t interested in doing much other than sleeping.<br />
<br />
Ash reasons that a fully evolved Bug-type Pokémon might be able to help Caterpie evolve, so he sends his Leavanny out to battle it! But when Leavanny’s Energy Ball gives Caterpie a rude awakening, it runs off in a panic. Ash tracks it down and apologizes, and Caterpie decides to trust him. They spend the day climbing trees and playing in the forest. It’s special training, but it’s also fun! And Caterpie even rescues Ash with a well-timed String Shot when he loses his grip and falls.<br />
<br />
Ash knows that Caterpie has to eat a lot before it can evolve, so he sets out to gather Oran Berries for his new friend. Unfortunately, they’ve wandered into an Ursaring’s territory, and the imposing Pokémon isn’t interested in sharing its Berries! Ash grabs Caterpie and runs, but when they come up against a dead end, Caterpie decides it’s time to battle. It proves itself to be a fierce fighter, driving off the bigger Pokémon before evolving into Metapod!<br />
<br />
But suddenly they have a deadline—it seems another group of Butterfree will soon leave the island, and if Metapod wants to join them, it needs to evolve again, and fast! Special training kicks into high gear, as Ash puts Metapod through its paces, including a long run that leaves Cilan breathless. And then, their training is rudely interrupted by a new threat that swoops down from above—it’s Team Rocket, showing up yet again to steal Pikachu, and accidentally picking Metapod up in the process!<br />
<br />
Jessie, James, and Meowth start to fly away in their balloon, but Ash leaps after them and manages to grab onto the side of the basket. As James’s Amoonguss pummels Ash with attacks, Metapod wiggles out of its restraints—and evolves into Butterfree just as Ash is forced to let go! Butterfree catches Ash and puts him down gently on the ground, then goes after the villains and sends them blasting off again!<br />
<br />
As the sun rises, all the Butterfree get ready to depart, and Ash has to say goodbye to his friend. It’s a bittersweet moment, but Ash promises they’ll meet again someday as Butterfree joins the migration and heads off to a brand-new life!</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{incomplete plot}}<br />
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are sailing through the [[Decolore Islands]] and are close to approaching an island. Ash sees a flock of {{p|Swanna}} and scans it with his [[Pokédex]]. [[Porter]] explains that they are migrating in which {{an|Cilan}} points it due to the season change. Porter explains that [[Wayfarer Island]] is a popular spot for migrating Pokémon to rest that are on their way to other places. Ash is delighted to see it happen.<br />

[[File:BW130 error 1.png|240px|thumb|right|The flashback to ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', showing [[Ash's Butterfree]] alongside the [[Pink Butterfree]]]]<br />
* [[Professor Oak's lecture|Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]]: {{p|Zweilous}}<br />
* {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} narrate the preview for the [[BW131|next episode]].<br />
* As of this episode, all of Ash's original six Pokémon ({{AP|Charmander|Charizard}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{AP|Pidgeotto|Pidgeot}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Butterfree}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}) have appeared in the {{series|Best Wishes}}, either in flashbacks or in the flesh.<br />
* While gender differences for Pokémon which debuted before [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|the introduction of these differences]] have been acknowledged in the anime, this is not true for the Butterfree in this episode, all of which — including the [[Pink Butterfree]], confirmed to be female — [[Gender difference#Generation I Pokémon|have no purple spots on their wings]] and thus appear to be male. This may be either an animation oversight or an indication that Butterfree's anime design is not intended to correlate with its gender differences in the games.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* During several scenes throughout the episode, {{Ash}}'s eyes are colored black instead of brown.<br />
* When Ash and his friends witness the evolution of the Metapod swarm, Ash says that he's never before seen this many Metapod evolving at the same time, even though he has already witnessed a mass evolution of Metapod in [[M04|the fourth movie]].<br />
* When Ash is reading a magazine in the [[Pokémon Center]], Metapod's eyelid is placed in the wrong position.<br />
* During the brief scene showing {{TRT}} after their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]], the [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]]'s ears are cream-colored like its face, instead of black.<br />
* In one scene, one of the video screens on the control panel of Team Rocket's balloon disappears.<br />
* When Jessie, James, and Meowth are [[Team Rocket mottos#Blasting off|blasted off]], {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} and {{TP|James|Amoonguss}} disappear. This error also happens in ''[[BW113|The Light of Floccesy Ranch!]]''.<br />
* During Butterfree's migration, [[Ash]]'s eyes are missing in three screenshots.<br />

<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-11/episode-47-11_47-a-trainer-and-child-reunion/--><br />
<i>Ash and his friends enter a small town where all the girls are lined up to watch Aaron, one of the Elite Four, conduct a public training session. Aaron knows his Bug-type Pokémon so well, he can even understand what Bug-type Pokémon say. Aaron plans to challenge Cynthia for the top Trainer spot in Sinnoh, and the crowds are certainly impressed by his Vespiquen, Drapion, and Skorupi. When Aaron learns that Dawn and Ash know Cynthia, he takes them to his private training center in the woods. Team Rocket follows them and puts syrup on a tree to lure Aaron's Pokémon, but it only ends up attracting Beedrill!<br />
<br />
Dawn notices a photo of Aaron and a Wurmple. This Wurmple was Aaron's greatest friend, but Aaron doesn't seem to have a Wurmple now—where did it go? Before Aaron can explain, Team Rocket's balloon descends from the sky and vacuums up his Pokémon along with Pikachu and Piplup. Team Rocket escapes, but Aaron is determined to find and rescue his Pokémon. When he was young, he was a poor loser who blamed Wurmple for his defeat, driving Wurmple away. Ever since that mistake, he's worked hard to understand Bug-types and vowed not to lose a Pokémon ever again!<br />
<br />
Team Rocket doesn't get far—their kidnapped Pokémon decide to fight back, and the balloon crashes in the forest. As Seviper and Carnivine try to stop Pikachu, Piplup, and Aaron's Pokémon from escaping, Aaron and our heroes arrive to save the day. Team Rocket makes a second attempt to vacuum up the Pokémon, but a Beautifly stops them with a powerful SolarBeam attack. Team Rocket crashed near the tree where Aaron met Wurmple, and this Beautifly is the Evolution of Aaron's Wurmple! All this time, it's been training to become strong enough to help Aaron. Now it's certainly strong enough to help defeat Team Rocket, and Team Rocket is sent packing by the combined attacks of our heroes' Pokémon. As Aaron happily trains for his big challenge, Ash heads to Hearthome City for his own big challenge: a Gym Battle against Fantina!</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
During their journey to [[Hearthome City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stop by a town and where they see a large crowd. [[Officer Jenny]] arrives and tells them if they are there to observe, they need to get in line. As usual, Brock falls in love with Jenny, swearing by her beauty that he will do what she wants, but {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} puts him down and drags him off. Jenny is bemused that they don't know the reason for the crowd - someone named {{EF|Aaron}} is having a public practice session. Neither Ash nor Brock recognise the name, but after a pause, Dawn gasps and fishes out this month's PokéSheet, explaining that he is from the [[Elite Four]].<br />
<br />
The group decides to watch the practice, where Aaron is training with his {{type|Bug}} Pokémon {{p|Drapion}}, {{p|Skorupi}} and {{p|Vespiquen}}. Drapion uses {{m|Pin Missile}}, nailing the bullseye of a far away target five times in quick succession. After congratulating Drapion, he orders Vespiquen to use {{m|Slash}}, which she does, easily carving up ceramic plates fired at her. In the crowd, Ash and Dawn gush about meeting another member of the Elite Four, remembering [[DP035|their meeting with]] [[Lucian]]. Jenny moans in excitement and recalls the Elite Four: Lucian and his {{t|Psychic}} types, [[Bertha]] and her {{t|Ground}} types, {{EF|Flint}} and his {{t|Fire}} types and Aaron with his Bugs. She says that of the four, Aaron mixes strength with popularity the best.<br />
<br />
Back at practise, Drapion uses a series of quick {{m|Hyper Beam}}s, destroying the targets. Jenny gushes in excitement over how well Aaron speaks the language of Bug Pokémon and has perfect and amazing combinations. Brock chuckles and tells Jenny to control herself, but Jenny explodes in excitement as she reveals that Aaron has risen up and challenged [[Cynthia]], and their battle to end all battles will take place soon. Dawn and Ash realise that Aaron was the challenger Cynthia had told them about back in [[Celestic Town]]. Jenny proclaims that Aaron, her hero, will undoubtedly be the winner. With a {{m|Gust}}, Vespiquen smashes all the remaining targets and ends the training session, thanking everyone for watching and asking for their support in the battle with Cynthia.<br />
<br />
Inevitably, all the girls run up to Aaron asking for autographs, and Jenny jumps up demanding one too, but then blushes and remembers her duty, to ensure everyone is conducting themselves properly. Dawn jumps up and runs off for the line too. Ash happily asserts that one day he'll clean up at the Pokémon League and challenge Cynthia and Aaron.<br />
<br />
{{TRT}} is watching, and [[Jessie]] dreamily asks if they saw how impressive Drapion and Vespiquen were and suggests they steal them. However, [[James]] shrugs that he would end up with one of the Elite Four in his face, and {{MTR}} reminds her that Aaron won't exactly hand over his Pokémon. They and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} give up instantly and shuffle away, but she rushes after them and drags them back by their cheeks. She reminds them of how much money they will get if they sell them. James and Meowth fall in with Jessie's scheme and they prepare to morph into merchants for rare Elite Four Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Aaron signs an autograph for a young girl, who barely containing her emotions, runs off telling him she'll remember the moment for the rest of her life. Aaron smiles at Dawn, noting that she's the last one and Dawn introduces herself and hands over her PokéSheet. She then boldly says that Cynthia told her that the Elite Four are powerful battlers and she would not go easy on him. Aaron is surprised and asks if they know Cynthia personally, which Dawn and the others confirm. Ash says they'll be rooting for both of them. Aaron notes that Cynthia is very powerful but he has been training even harder, which Drapion, Vespiquen and Skorupi make assertions in support of. Ash tells Aaron his dreams of perhaps one day even becoming an Elite Four member, which Aaron tells him to go for. He then invites them to his training center, which he would consider an honour from friends of Cynthia. Brock excitedly tells the others what a privilege this would be, and they reply that they would love to come.<br />
<br />
At Aaron's center by the lake, Ash, Dawn and Brock look out at the view with Aaron and Skorupi. Aaron smiles and says he built the center after becoming a member of the Elite Four. Many wild Pokémon live nearby: {{p|Combee}}, {{p|Mothim}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Surskit}} and {{p|Venonat}} frolic around outside. Aaron notes that the Bugs are enjoying the weather and releases Drapion and Vespiquen from their Poké Balls to relax after the mornings training session. He then goes and trains himself, explaining that his Pokémon would have a field day making fun of him if he didn't train as hard as them. Ash jumps on the bike, determined to train as well. Aaron warns him not to overdo himself, and Dawn exclaims at Ash's energy, whilst Brock says it's probably motivation from his rematch with [[Fantina]]. Looking around, Dawn spots a picture of a young Aaron together with a {{p|Wurmple}}.<br />
<br />
Aaron's Vespiquen snoozes by a tree whilst {{TRT}} sneak up, having smeared honey on the tree. Meowth and James hurl a net forward, only to have caught a {{p|Munchlax}}. James is angry, but gets even angrier when Jessie reveals that she used his pancake syrup for the trap. James screams of disappointment arouse some {{p|Beedrill}}, who attack Team Rocket.<br />
<br />
Aaron finishes training and takes his towel from Skorupi, whilst Ash has collapsed in exhaustion and Aaron suggests a break. Dawn asks about the Wurmple in the photo, and Aaron told them that Wurmple was his first capture, in the forest nearby. He had grown up in town and would sneak out to the forest as much as he could. As a small kid, he really liked to climb trees. One day he challenged himself to climb the lengthiest tree in the forest. However, once he got to the top, he realized how tall it was and how he could never climb down, but luckily there was a Wurmple on the tree who was able to help him, getting him safely down. Aaron grabbed Wurmple and hugged it in thanks. Aaron reveals that he and Wurmple were best friends and shows them photo albums of the two growing up. Ash reminisces about his first capture: the {{type|Bug}} {{AP|Caterpie}}, which evolved all the way into {{AP|Butterfree}} before he released it. He wonders about where it is and how it's doing. <br />
<br />
Dawn asks where Wurmple currently is, but before he again answer, a giant suction hose activates, swallowing up Pikachu, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, Skorupi, Drapion and Vespiquen. Aaron demands to know what is going on, and Team Rocket performs their motto. Brock explains about Team Rocket's evil intentions. James and Jessie just gloat about successfully swiping Elite Four and twerp Pokémon. Aaron leaps into the air and nearly catches the balloon, but {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}'s {{m|Haze}} blinds him and he crashes to the ground. Team Rocket's balloon disappears over the tree tops as the friends rush to Aaron's aid. Ash decides that they have to follow after.<br />
<br />
Jessie and James continue to gloat over their victory, but suddenly their balloon starts to rock as Pikachu, Piplup, Vespiquen and Drapion unleash their attacks on the inside of the huge tank holding them. The tank begins to smoke and spark and the balloon goes down whilst a nearby {{p|Ledian}} watches. Aaron is almost beside himself with anger at the theft of his Pokémon, but snaps back to reality at Dawn's words. He reveals that as a small kid, he was a real crybaby, and he was horrible at battling. After a loss to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, he blamed it on Wurmple, saying that Wurmple was weak, and ran off before Wurmple could reply. He later felt so awful that he ran back later in the day but it was too late and his best friend had gone.<br />
<br />
It was this, Aaron reveals, that drove him to work with every Bug type he could until he could master their language, but he never wants to go through the pain of losing another friend, which is why he needs to recover Vespiquen, Drapion and Skorupi. A Ledian flies up and tells Aaron that it saw the balloon crash nearby. <br />
<br />
At the crash site, Meowth is half cursing and half admiring the ability of the five Pokémon to ruin their escape. Jessie tells him to stop being so impressed and fix the balloon, hose and tank. At that moment, Pikachu kicks out the side and leads the other four to safety. James immediately calls out {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, who as usual latches onto him in a back-breaking hug. Pikachu seizes the distraction to lead an escape, but Seviper cuts them off. Drapion leaps to the front and fights off Seviper, whilst Vespiquen jumps to help, but Carnivine hits her from behind with {{m|Bullet Seed}}, injuring her. Drapion is distracted and Seviper injures him with a powerful {{m|Poison Tail}}. As Team Rocket's Pokémon loom over Piplup, Skorupi and Pikachu, Aaron, Ash and the others arrive. Aaron pauses and recognises a nearby tree as the one where he met Wurmple for the first time.<br />
<br />
Meowth and Wobbuffet attack with the suction tank again, seizing Pikachu, Piplup and Skorupi, but Aaron dives on his injured Vespiquen and Drapion, keeping them safely on the ground. Pikachu and Piplup manage to each grab a branch and hold Skorupi in place, causing Jessie to curse and James orders them Meowth to amp up the suction. It rips branches from the huge tree, much to Aaron's anguish, and is too much for Pikachu and Piplup, whose grips break and they fly into the suction.<br />
<br />
Suddenly a {{m|SolarBeam}} blasts out from nearby and obliterates the mecha, ending the suction and causing Pikachu, Skorupi and Piplup to fall to the ground. Their saviour, a wild {{p|Beautifly}}, hovers down, evoking an emotional response from Aaron. He asks if Beautifly is in fact his Wurmple, which is nods in assent, much to Aaron's and the other's delight. Beautifly explains to Aaron that it wanted to get stronger, so it went off and trained before evolving into the Beautifly stage.<br />
<br />
Jessie and James are still wanting their prize, so they order Seviper and Carnivine to attack, with Piplup and Pikachu teaming up against them. Seviper's Haze blinds both Pokémon, but Beautifly, under Aaron's command, uses {{m|Whirlwind}} to sweep away the clouds. Then Drapion's Hyper Beam takes down Seviper, and Vespiquen Slashes Carnivine into James. A combination of Beautifly's SolarBeam, Piplup's {{m|BubbleBeam}} and Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} sends Team Rocket blasting off.<br />
<br />
Aaron thanks Beautifly for its help and asks if it would like to be a team once more. Beautifly happily accepts and it joins Skorupi, Drapion and Vespiquen on Aaron's team. Dawn says that she's so happy that Beautifly came home, and Brock says that Beautifly makes Aaron's team even more amazing. They then thank Aaron for a wonderful day in which they've learned so much, and he in return wishes Ash luck for his rematch with Fantina. Bidding Aaron and his Pokémon farewell, the group leave Aaron's center by the lake.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Aaron signature.png|thumb|Aaron's signature]]<br />
* Details of this episode were made known in [[K-Zone]], a children's magazine, before any official Japanese episode listing. However, the magazine stated that Aaron would appear before Celestic Town, suggesting that it was moved to fit in the one-hour specials at Celestic.<br />
* Aaron's signature was shown in this episode. It was his Japanese name in romaji, Ryou. This was not changed in the dubbed version.<br />
* This marks the second time that [[Ash's Butterfree]] is seen in a flashback in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. The first was in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'' as a {{p|Caterpie}}.<br />
* The dub title is a reference to the 1972 {{wp|Paul Simon}} song "{{wp|Mother and Child Reunion}}".<br />
* [[Professor Oak's lecture]]: {{p|Charmander}}<br />
* This episode marks the first time Brock's Croagunk is seen coming out of its Poké Ball before hitting him with Poison Jab.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* For a quick moment, while Ash and his friends are watching Aaron and his Pokémon perform, Dawn's purse overlaps Brock's pants.<br />
* While Team Rocket discusses the advantages of stealing Aaron's Pokémon, Wobbuffet manifests itself right after a noise of it coming out of its Poké Ball, even though it was already out, as shown in the scene before.<br />
* After Team Rocket's balloon crashes, Wobbuffet comes out of its Poké Ball while they are all on the ground. Shortly after that, Meowth is seen alone on the balloon, and Wobbuffet comes out once again of its Poké Ball. This is clearly a mistake, since the Poké Ball should stay with Jessie, and not Meowth.<br />
* When Team Rocket blasts off, Seviper and Carnivine disappears.<br />

<i>May is headed for the Rubello Town Pokémon Contest, where at least one ribbon is needed to enter. She runs into Drew, and both of them are mobbed by the Mothers for Pokémon—a group of women who adore Pokémon Coordinators. One of them, Savannah, is a Coordinator herself, and will be competing in the upcoming contest, but she is really nervous.<br />
<br />
Jessie from Team Rocket wants to enter the contest but can't since she has never won a ribbon.<br />
<br />
Later, May is practicing outside the Pokémon Center when she spots Drew with his new Masquerain. She tries to show off her Bulbasaur, but it won't listen to her.<br />
<br />
The next day, May is helping Savannah practice when they are accosted by Team Rocket, who takes both May's and Savannah's ribbons. The kids take down Team Rocket's balloon, and Jessie returns the stolen ribbons. Savannah's Lairon uses a Water-type move to send the thieves blasting off.<br />
<br />
Savannah's daughter Sandra reassures her mother, while May is feeling confident again about the contest.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
The episode starts with the gang entering [[Rubello Town]], on their way to {{Ash}}'s next Gym battle, when [[Max]] spots a poster for a [[Pokémon Contest]] which is set to begin the next day. {{an|May}} is delighted and quickly decides to enter. {{an|Brock}}, however, notices a mysterious symbol on the Contest poster, "R1," the meaning of which is not known to the group. Fortunately, [[Nurse Joy]] explains that any entrant to this Contest must have at least one Ribbon.<br />
<br />
In the [[Pokémon Center]], May runs into [[Drew]], who is also entering the Pokémon Contest. After insulting May, she gets angered with him, but before anything can happen, Drew is engulfed by a swarm of rabid female fans. Drew isn't exactly happy to see these fans, as they lean towards the obsessive side, but May becomes jealous nonetheless. The jealousy is forgotten when one of the women recognizes May and the group crowds around her instead. However, the fans seem more interested in [[Norman]] than either May or Max. During the discussion, [[Savannah]], the head of the group, explains that they saw May in the [[Verdanturf Town|Verdanturf]] Contest. Savannah also reveals that she will be entering the Rubello Contest as well. The group also introduces themselves with a cheer as the [[Mothers for Pokémon]], also known as MFP. They are a group of wives and mothers who love Pokémon. They decide to throw a party for May and Max. One of them tells Ash that he isn't on the list of "promising and handsome young [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainers]]."<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, {{TRT}} enters the town very fatigued, but [[Jessie]], upon seeing the Contest poster, decides to enter. [[James]] and {{MTR}} groan. When she discovers that she needs a Ribbon to enter, and having none, she decides to steal one and enter the Contest.<br />
<br />
Back at the reception, Savannah and the MFP compliment May and her father, Norman. Ash mutters angrily to himself, saying he does all the hard work, training and Gym battles, and is jealous of May. Nonetheless, Ash vehemently denies his jealousy when Max asks about his complaining. At the other table, Savannah and May realize that neither of them have picked Pokémon for the Contest. Savannah shows May her {{p|Lairon}} and {{p|Flareon}}. While showing May her Pokémon, Savannah reveals that this R1 competition requires the use of two Pokémon; one for the appeals round and one for the Battle Round. While Savannah only has to decide the order, May faces a more difficult decision; picking two candidates from her four Pokémon lineup. While Brock and Savannah go grocery shopping and meet Savannah's daughter [[Sandra]], May, Ash, and Max talk the Pokémon choice over. Savannah and Sandra invite the company to dinner in the end.<br />
<br />
May trains late into the night, testing all four of her Pokémon to see which is the best choice for the upcoming Contest. {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} stumbles and trips in its attempted combination, but May remains confident and happily remembers the compliments she got from the MFP earlier that day. Her reminiscence is interrupted by Drew's voice, calling out orders to his new {{p|Masquerain}}. Drew notices May watching him and brags that "winning this Contest will be a cinch." Drew also notices May's Pokémon, and inquires about her new Bulbasaur, a rare find in the [[Hoenn]] region. Drew insults May's Bulbasaur as undisciplined. His comments provoke May, who decides to use Bulbasaur in the Contest, a decision which startles the rest of the group.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Savannah nears the breaking point from stage fright, but completely forgets her fear at the sight of Bulbasaur, which she says was her first Pokémon long ago. May and Savannah decide to start a practice battle to train, with Bulbasaur having the disadvantage against Savannah's Flareon. However, the battle is cut short by Team Rocket's interruption.<br />
<br />
James and Meowth are less than enthusiastic about the Ribbon theft operation, but Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} to combat the Pokémon Savannah and May already have out. However, Ash, Brock, and Max quickly arrive on the scene. Flareon's {{m|Flamethrower}} is deflected by {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Brock's Lombre]] and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} are quickly called out to join the battle. Dustox uses {{m|Poison Sting}} while Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} to block. Wobbuffet deflects a pair of {{m|Water Gun}} attacks. Jessie orders her Dustox to attack Sandra with {{m|Psybeam}}, but that's the breaking point for Savannah. She becomes angry that Jessie would dare attack her daughter and orders Flareon to launch another Flamethrower attack. Wobbuffet steps forward, but the attack was aimed at the balloon, not Wobbuffet. Team Rocket goes down in flames. Jessie declares that she would rather give up James and Meowth than the Ribbons. This angers James and Meowth, who convince Jessie to surrender the Ribbons to the group. Sandra and Savannah launch a {{m|Water Pulse}} which sends Team Rocket blasting off.<br />
<br />
The coordinators anxiously await the start of the Rubello Town Contest.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* In this episode, Team Rocket uses a {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|A Fan with a Plan motto|variation}} of their motto.<br />
* The dub title is a pun of the phrase "a man with a plan".<br />
* The Contest poster in the beginning of the episode showed a Bulbasaur among other Pokémon. May chooses to use {{TP|May|her Bulbasaur|Venusaur}} this episode.<br />
* Music from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' is used.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
[[File:PokémonTrainersChoice Seviper.png|thumb|200px|right|{{pkmn|Trainer's Choice}}]]<br />
* This most infamous {{pkmn|Trainer's Choice}} incorrectly claims that {{p|Arbok}} evolves into {{p|Seviper}}. {{p|Seviper}} and the other two choices, {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Suicune}} don't evolve at all, and {{p|Arbok}} is the only Pokémon in an evolution chain.<br />
* In both the original and the dub, May mentioned that she used Skitty in the {{to|Fallarbor}} Contest, but she actually used Beautifly in the [[AG051|Contest in question]].<br />
* When Team Rocket does their motto, Jessie states that the Contest is tonight, but at the end of the episode, May says the Contest is tomorrow.<br />
* Also in Team Rocket's Motto, James states that Jessie's winning streak would go from zero to two, but with May's two Ribbons and Savannah's Ribbon, her "winning streak" would be three.<br />
** However, he probably said it so it would rhyme.<br />
* Savannah calls Brock "a ''men'' who really understands."<br />
* When {{an|May}} checks {{p|Masquerain}} with her Pokédex, her glove is not covering her thumb.<br />
<br />

====[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]====<br />
* Question: Trainers, Which one of these Pokémon evolves into {{p|Seviper}}?<br />
* Choices: {{p|Sableye}}, {{p|Arbok}}, {{p|Suicune}}<br />
* Answer: OK, Trainers! If you chose {{p|Arbok}}, you were {{tt|right|As mentioned above, no answer is correct.}}!<br />

Those indeed are episodes in which an alternately colored Pokémon appeared. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 05:19, 12 January 2010 (UTC)<br />

<i>The way to Olivine City and Ash's next Gym challenge lies across a desert of sand and rock. Just as Ash and his friends start to cross it, Team Rocket ambushes them and scoops up Pikachu. Cyndaquil is injured in the battle with Team Rocket, which ends when it uses Flamethrower on Weezing's Smokescreen and triggers an explosion that frees Pikachu but knocks Cyndaquil into the depths of the desert. However, local tales say that sick or injured Pokémon that enter the desert will return to their Trainers in great shape, almost as if the desert contains a hidden oasis.<br />
<br />
Cyndaquil tries to find its way back, but when it collapses with weariness, other Pokémon come carry it away. After Team Rocket crash lands in the desert, Meowth is spirited away by other Pokémon too! Both injured Pokémon are whisked off to an oasis inside a hollowed-out mountain, where a Miltank heals them both. Team Rocket follows Meowth to the mountain, but they're turned away by a group of Exeggutor guards. Ash and his friends also find their way to the mountain, but use Brock's Onix to burrow past the guards.<br />
<br />
Once they get inside, the Pokémon in the oasis spring to its defense. As Meowth explains, this is no place for people—these Pokémon want to be left alone! Team Rocket drops in with their balloon and order Meowth to help steal the Pokémon, but Meowth refuses to battle. Team Rocket's other Pokémon refuse to attack, too! Undeterred, Team Rocket grabs Miltank and overpowers Meowth, but they're soundly beaten by Cyndaquil. Now that Miltank and the other oasis Pokémon realize Ash means no harm, he can reunite with Cyndaquil and peacefully continue on his way.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
Seems the road to [[Olivine City]] is a bit longer than expected, as {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stare upon a large desert badlands. They start to go and Ash suddenly gets caught in a hole, {{AP|Pikachu}} getting caught by a net. {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} look up, and who shows up? {{TRT}}. They say their {{motto}} but Brock and Misty just help Ash out. Well... looks like the usual, Ash calls out his {{AP|Cyndaquil}} to make short work of this. [[James]] sends {{TP|James|Weezing}} and Cyndaquil clings on it, about to use {{m|Flamethrower}} just up close. Weezing shakes Cyndaquil off and Cyndaquil lands on the ground, head first. When it gets up, a swelling grows on its nose, making it a bit weak. Team Rocket poke fun at Cyndaquil for a while and then James tells Weezing to use {{m|Sludge}}, Ash blocking the attack. Ash tells Cyndaquil to use Flamethrower again and after feeling somewhat self-conscious, Cyndaquil does so; however, Weezing uses {{m|SmokeScreen}} at the same time, causing a massive explosion that sends Team Rocket and Cyndaquil blasting off. Afterward, Ash tries to look for Cyndaquil but it seems not to work well. Brock suggests they go to the local [[Pokémon Center]] for any clues.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Cyndaquil wakes up and finds that it's lost and just tries to find a way around. A {{p|Sentret}} spies on it and calls out, a {{p|Butterfree}} and {{p|Sandshrew}} start to spy on Cyndaquil as well. Soon Cyndaquil collapses and then the Butterfree hovers above it. A {{p|Dugtrio}} soon picks Cyndaquil up and starts to carry him off somewhere.<br />
<br />
At the Pokémon Center, Joy tells the gang that there's a legend about a sanctuary place for Pokémon in this desert. More likely Cyndaquil is there. Ash heads out, Brock and Misty following; however, Joy didn't tell them where the sanctuary was.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket start to complain about the mess they're in until they see Cyndaquil being carried off. The want to get it but [[Jessie]] and James don't want to go, so they just throw {{MTR}} down. Meowth lands on his face and gets his nose hurt too, causing another Dugtrio to carry him off with Cyndaquil. Jessie and James try to get out of the [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|balloon]] and end up falling down. They follow the two Dugtrio.<br />
<br />
Ash seems to find nothing much out in the desert, but Pikachu spots a couple of {{p|Quagsire}} up upon a hill. The {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} start to walk away from them calmly and the gang takes a hunch and follows them.<br />
<br />
Jessie and James see that Cyndaquil and Meowth are taken into a mesa, with a wall of {{p|Exeggutor}} in front of the entrance. The two Pokémon are passed onto an Exeggutor and then they are carried into an oasis inside the mesa. (looks like the one in {{p|Mewtwo}} Lives) The two Pokémon stare around for a while, seeing that other Pokémon are running around enjoying this place. The Exeggutor calls out and a {{p|Miltank}} comes out of a hole in a tree. The Miltank walks up to them, greets them and proceeds to her work. She places a hoof on Cyndaquil's swollen nose and her tail starts to glow along with her hoof and then Cyndaquil, the swell gone in an instant. She then does the same to Meowth and his nose injury goes away as well. Seeing that they aren't coming out, Jessie and James make a run for it to the entrance, but the Exeggutor use {{m|Hypnosis}} and lead them out far away.<br />
<br />
The gang finds a mesa, which might be the one. They see Jessie and James walk by, but they just walk by. Brock takes a notice of the Exeggutor in the distance, a direct approach won't work. Brock uses {{TP|Brock|Onix}} and they {{m|dig}} underground to the mesa.<br />
<br />
Jessie and James suddenly slam into a stone monolithic object and snap out of it. Seeing that they are back to their balloon. They soon get angry now that they are in the middle of nowhere, but James suggest they go for a little ride over there.<br />
<br />
The gang make it to a tunnel with a river, Brock pointing out they should follow the light. They reach the sanctuary and Ash finds Cyndaquil and calls out to him. Which proves to be a mistake, soon all the Pokémon within the Mesa get angry and groups of {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Pidgeotto}} and {{p|Krabby}} surround them. Ash decides the only way is to jump and he does so followed by Pikachu. They get to the surface but the Pokémon in the sanctuary won't let Cyndaquil go to Ash and vice versa. Soon enough Team Rocket interrupts their little dilemma and decide to take the Pokémon in the sanctuary. They send out everything they got and order them to attack but Meowth stops them, saying that he doesn't want any harm to Miltank. This makes all of Team Rocket's Pokémon actually stop and not obey Jessie and James. Finding this useless, Jessie and James call them back and decide to take Miltank by other force. James shoots out a net and captures Miltank. Meowth grabs onto the net as the net climbs and gets up there but Jessie and James restrain Meowth before he could do anything. Ash tells Cyndaquil to use Flamethrower to the max and it does so, only cutting the rope that held the net. Ash quickly sends out {{AP|Bayleef}} to use {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the net so Miltank can get out, Miltank landing safely in the water. Ash finishes the Team by a jolt of {{m|Thunderbolt}} by Pikachu which sends them flying sky-high.<br />
<br />
Ash is glad to see Cyndaquil again and that's it's feeling much better. And soon the Pokémon in the sanctuary respect Ash and the gang as they promise they won't tell anyone about the sanctuary. They head out towards Olivine City saying their goodbyes.<br />

[[File:Miltank Milk Drink.png|thumb|200px|right|Meowth and Cyndaquil sucking on Miltank's udder]]<br />
* This episode's dub title is a reference to the famous advertising slogan, "{{wp|Got Milk?}}"<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* The scenes where {{MTR}} acknowledges that he did hurt his nose, is a direct contradiction to ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'' where he points out while [[breaking the fourth wall]], that he never had a nose.<br />
* When Victreebel comes out of its Ball, its "lips" are colored brown instead of red.<br />
* In one scene, the black outlines around the red/yellow "eyes" in {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s pattern are missing.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
* There are about 45 seconds of this episode which were removed from the English dub. The scene where {{MTR}} talks to Miltank about how Pokémon come to the oasis for healing was heavily cut. In the original Japanese version, Meowth speaks to Miltank about the aforementioned details. Then, Meowth and Ash's Cyndaquil start to suck on Miltank’s udder for nourishment. All references and shots of Meowth and Cyndaquil sucking on Miltank's udder were cut from the English dub, although when Ash enters the cave, Brock refers to the use of {{m|Milk Drink}}, and a teat can be seen in Cyndaquil's mouth for about a second.<br />

<i>Taking a rest from their exhausting expedition, our heroes settle down in a small field near a stream to enjoy a mid-day meal. Ash releases his Pokémon from their Poké Balls so they too can enjoy a well deserved break. Overly excited to see Ash, Bayleef runs towards him at full-tilt. Inadvertently, Bayleef uses Tackle Attack and knocks Ash for a loop. When Bayleef's uncontrollable affection becomes too much for Ash, he looses his temper and says something spiteful. Ash tells Bayleef to go away and stay away! When Ash can't find Bayleef after lunch, the gang goes on a search and rescue mission. With Pikachu following Bayleef's scent, the crew winds up at an old woman's house. She explains how she found Bayleef, hurt and weak near the river's bank. When Ash tries to re-claim his Pokémon, Bayleef simply ignores him. It is clear Bayleef would rather stay with the kind old woman and her Pokémon than continue the journey with Ash. Will Ash be able to win back Bayleef's trust and affection?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
While traveling to their next destination, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} decide to take a rest in the clearing of the forest. Ash decides [[party|to release his Pokémon]] to play. Despite having recently evolved, {{AP|Bayleef}}'s affections towards Ash still exist, and she doesn't seem to realize that her body is much larger than it was when she was a {{p|Chikorita}} and Ash can't take her charging up to him. So upon releasing, she runs towards Ash and unintentionally {{m|tackle}}s him. Bayleef is sort of confused but still doesn't understand that her size is the problem. Later they play a fetching game. {{AP|Noctowl}} carries the stick some ways and Ash's other Pokémon follow. Obviously Bayleef is determined to win and she does so very easily, her size knocking the other Pokémon away. She then runs to Ash and again tackles him accidentally sending Ash towards a nearby stream. She starts to get the picture now.<br />
<br />
Finally it's lunch time and Ash starts carry some food towards the table but he's momentarily distracted by {{AP|Totodile}}, who seems to want some. Bayleef comes by as well, but she knows that if she runs to Ash, Ash will scold at her. So she walks up to Ash. Ash sees her and just scolds at Bayleef anyways, telling her that {{an|Brock}} worked hard to make the food, and he'll spill it if she tackles him. He then tells Bayleef to 'get away and stay away'. Bayleef is really hurt by Ash's harsh words and runs off without Ash knowing. While they are eating, {{an|Misty}} notices that Bayleef is gone, and tells Ash.<br />
<br />
Bayleef comes to a river and kicks a rock towards it in anger. Then she kicks another rock towards some bush, causing some {{p|Beedrill}} to come out and chase after her. She runs but she steps on a loose rock and falls into the river.<br />
<br />
An old woman is walking along the river with a {{p|Machoke}} carrying some flowers. She notices Bayleef on the shore, unconscious and decides to take her in. Bayleef wakes up, near a fireplace under a blanket. She looks around and the old woman comes in with Machoke and offers Bayleef a bowl of cream stew which she enjoys. The old woman offers to help Bayleef find her trainer but Bayleef, believing Ash to no longer care for her, refuses to and the old woman says that Bayleef is welcome to stay with her and the other Pokémon living there. Bayleef looks around in the room, noticing a {{p|Bellossom}} and {{p|Skiploom}}. The old woman introduces them and they become friends.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Ash is searching around for Bayleef unable to understand why she ran away when Misty tells Ash off for how he spoke to Bayleef earlier. {{AP|Pikachu}} gets a scent and they follow it. They come up to the broken off part where Bayleef fell into the river. Ash is now filled with guilt over how he treated Bayleef and is determined to save her. They walk further more down almost giving up, then {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} notices a house. They go up to it and Ash knocks on the door. He tries a couple times and Misty sees there's a garden just around the house. They go over there, seeing the old lady, Machoke, Bellossom, Skiploom, and Bayleef. Ash goes up to Bayleef but Skiploom tackles Ash, preventing him from stepping on the flowers. The old lady goes up to them and exchange names. The old lady, [[Haruno]], takes care of the garden along with the others. Ash explains he's trying to get Bayleef back and tries apologizing to her, but Bayleef refuses. Brock suggests the {{pkmn|food}} trick, but Misty comments "How's that going to work?". Ash tries it anyways, carrying a plate of fruits. Bayleef still refuses Ash.<br />
<br />
Haruno and the gang sits down for some [[tea]], Ash still trying to figure out a way to get Bayleef back. Seeing that Bayleef and Skiploom are watering the flowers, Ash tries again this time he's trying to help out Bayleef. Stubborn as she is, again she still refuses. Ash starts to plead but she attacks Ash with a swift motion of her leaf. They are interrupted when {{TRT}} shows up in a [[Team Rocket's mechas|huge Bayleef robot]] and chases them down.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket uses the {{m|Vine Whip}} attack to snag Skiploom, Bellossom, Pikachu and Bayleef. Haruno tries to talk them into stopping but she ends up in front of the robot's path. Machoke makes the move and gets her out of the way. Team Rocket then flees but Ash pursues them. He finds a path to higher ground and the jumps onto the big robot. Landing on the leaf on the head. Team Rocket makes the robot simply just stomp to throw Ash around which is successful, but only resulting in throwing Ash to the container where the stolen {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are. Ash sees in and tires to break it, but it's tempered glass. The others help and Ash starts to try to pry the container out. Ash starts to persuade Bayleef to help him out, but she won't accept. But after seeing how hard Ash is try to help her, she understands that Ash does care. She starts to help in prying the container out by bashing on one side. The plan works and all the Pokémon become free. Ash tells Bayleef to use {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut a side of it and Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} to shock the inside. This knocks the huge bot down.<br />
<br />
They climb down the behemoth. However, Team Rocket isn't going to give up, they use Vine Whip again, but Bayleef cuts the vines with Razor Leaf. Pikachu then delivers the Thunderbolt to blow them into the sky.<br />
<br />
Haruno gives her thanks, and Ash apologizes for causing the problems in the first place. Ash then apologizes to Bayleef for being so inconsiderate, and Bayleef starts to run to him but controls herself and then puts her head down sadly to apologize for tackling him before. Brock notes that Bayleef has certainly learned some self control, and Ash gets down on his knees and tells Bayleef that she should be proud of herself. Bayleef puts her front paws in Ash's hands, but ends up lifting herself up and ends up on top of him. Everyone is surprised, and Brock tells Ash that Bayleef has just learned {{m|Body Slam}}. Ash congratulates Bayleef on her achievement, and the gang prepare to continue on to [[Olivine City]] and Ash's next Gym Battle.<br />

* This is the 200th episode of the main [[Pokémon anime]], if ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'' are not counted as episodes.<br />
* The English title of this episode is a pun of the phrase [http://www.goenglish.com/TurnOverANewLeaf.asp Turning over a new leaf]. Exactly 100 episodes later, a future title makes use of this pun also, ''[[AG026|Turning Over a Nuzleaf]]''.<br />
* Even though [[Who's That Pokémon?]] was random by this point in the dub, the Pokémon featured was {{p|Machoke}}, which did play a role in this episode. <br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* When Bayleef ignores Ash's offer of fruit and Brock is crushed, he says "My theory about girls are wrong!" however it should be "My theory about girls '''was''' wrong"<br />

<i>At the end of a long day, our heroes search for a Pokémon Center in a small town near Olivine City. Unable to locate one they ask a local lady for directions. She explains the nearest Pokémon Center is ten miles away! Too exhausted to extend today's journey, the gang decides to set up camp in a local park. As he gets water from a nearby fountain, Brock notices a Nidorina approaching to take a drink. Running after Nidorina is her trainer, who trips and almost falls into the fountain. She is narrowly saved by Brock and immediately falls head over heals in love with him. Introducing herself as Temaku, she insists Brock and his friends stay with her at her father's house. How will Brock handle a large does of his own medicine from the smitten Temaku?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} find their way to another town. Ash is wondering where the [[Pokémon Center]] might be, so he asks a local woman. {{an|Brock}} has a crush on her, like nearly every other woman, but {{an|Misty}} pulls him away.<br />
<br />
Brock is later at a park filling up a pot with water. A {{p|Nidorina}} comes by for a drink, followed close behind by a frantic girl, who trips and nearly falls into the fountain. However, Brock catches her before she falls in. As the girl looks up at her protector, she falls in love with Brock instantly. Brock is confused and intimidated by the sudden affection from this stranger, which Misty notices. Brock is still left speechless, so Misty pulls him out to have a little talk about the situation, where she finds out that Brock has no actual dating experience and has no idea what to do. Coming back, the girl invites them to her house, where her {{TP|Temacu|father}} is also waiting. They do the introductions, the girl being [[Temacu]]. It seems like Temacu is the daughter of a local [[Pokémon Professor]]. She invites them to stay for dinner and some [[tea]], and Misty again goes and has a conversation with Brock. Temacu takes them for a walk around her house, talking about her Nidorina, {{p|Nidorino}} and some of the family's other Pokémon. That's when {{TRT}} storms in to get a steal. They catch the Nidorina, Nidorino, {{AP|Pikachu}} and the other Pokémon. Ash sends out {{AP|Totodile}} to try to free them and [[Jessie]] attempts to counterattack with {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}. The match ends in one hit, Totodile winning. [[James]] sends out {{TP|James|Weezing}} to use {{m|SmokeScreen}} and they try to take off. Everyone tries to find the three and Temacu tries to find Brock and ends up getting caught in some rope. Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} to use {{m|Bubble}} to get rid of the smoke. Ironically, the stolen Pokémon are there, but Temacu is gone.<br />
<br />
Jessie and James pull up the rope to see their captures, only to find not a Pokémon, but Temacu, however. Temacu loses balance and falls, but James catches her in time. This causes Temacu to fall in love with James the same way she did for Brock. James is put off and Jessie says they should abandon her, but Temacu, being a daughter of a Pokémon professor, means Team Rocket may have a chance to steal some Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Temacu's father sends out a search party, consisting of a half dozen people along with Ash, Misty, and Brock. They search into the nearby forest, Ash sends out {{AP|Noctowl}} to do an air search. The Noctowl finds [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|Team Rocket's balloon]] hovering around and reports back. Meanwhile, Jessie and James go back to Temacu's house with Temacu. Her father thanks them and Jessie tells a lie about how they found the "terrorists" and defeated them to save Temacu. But her father notices {{MTR}} and Jessie says they simply found it. Jessie and Meowth sneak off to find the Pokémon they accidentally left behind, and hit the jackpot when they find a room with a shelf full of Poké Balls. Jessie snatches them all in a bag, and tries to escape when Temacu's father tells them that Temacu cooked them a meal, which Jessie and Meowth accept. James is already in the dining room, acting much like Brock did, and constantly nudging Jessie for advice.<br />
<br />
Ash finds the balloon and has Noctowl make a hole in it. When the balloon crashes it is revealed to be a fake. They later make it back to the house. The three burst right in while Jessie, James and Meowth are eating. Brock, who by this time had started to develop feelings for Temacu, is heartbroken when he finds that she has fallen for James instead. Ash tells the family that it's Team Rocket, but Jessie tells them they're just locals. Misty pulls off Jessie's disguise and reveals Jessie to everyone.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket makes a run for it, Ash and co. following. Ash sends out {{AP|Chikorita}} and Jessie sends out Arbok. Chikorita uses a single {{m|Tackle}} and is enough to knock out Arbok. James then sends Weezing to use SmokeScreen but Misty sends out Poliwhirl for a Bubble. Following up with a {{m|Water Gun}}, James gets in the way of the shot, but Temacu pushes James aside in time and gets hit instead, knocking her out. Brock goes up to her to see if she's alright. In the meantime, Ash tells Chikorita to use Vine Whip to tie up Arbok and Weezing and made them knock each other out back on top of Jessie and James. Misty and Ash finishes them off with Poliwhirl's Water Gun and Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br />
<br />
One medical call later and Temacu wakes up. She then falls in love with the doctor who helped her and Brock is once again shocked, however the doctor does return her feelings. Her father explains that she recently saw her cousin get married and that's why she was so obsessed with getting married herself. They leave to go the next place, but Brock is still heartbroken. Misty tells him it's really no big deal and that "There's plenty of fish in the sea". This cheers Brock up, and says he's going to find the right girl for him yet, and that she's out there somewhere.<br />

<i>Just as Ash and friends arrive at a new island, their ears are met with cries for help. A family had built their house upon a Corsola nesting ground, and when a new, hyperactive Corsola arrived and frightened off the previous Corsola residents, the ground beneath the house weakened and the house was washed out to sea. The father and daughter who had been outside during the catastrophe now look on helplessly as another daughter—trapped inside the house—is washed out toward a large whirlpool. Ash and Misty call their Pokémon to action and manage to save the young girl, but this proves to be only the first challenge of the day. As Ash and friends set about recollecting the Corsola that had reinforced the foundation of this family's home, Team Rocket soon arrives and attempts to steal not only the needed Corsola, but also collections of local artwork made from Corsola horns, which these Pokémon shed regularly. While assisting this local family, Misty waits not so patiently for an opportunity to catch the Corsola that had first driven the others away, and make it her own.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} have arrived in [[Megi City]] on [[Yellow Rock Isle]]. Now they are only one island from competing in the [[Whirl Cup]]. The town seems like a nice place, so they decide to look around before they head off to the other side of the island. It seems like a typically quiet town until Misty notices a rather unique gift shop. The shop has a few jewelry-like objects on display, made of a pink crystal. Misty picks up one item that looks like a crystal formation and admires it for a while until the clerk comes by. He mentions that all these items are made with parts the {{p|Corsola}} sheds every so often. He says that everything he has is made from Corsola.<br />
<br />
The clerk then looks at {{AP|Pikachu}}, saying it's a cute Pokémon Ash has. Misty wonders for a moment why he likes Pikachu so much, but he explains that he likes any yellow-colored Pokémon. So on that, Misty decides to release {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}. The clerk admires him for a while before Psyduck runs off toward the beach. Misty and everyone else chases after Psyduck. When Misty gets there, she finds Psyduck behind some rocks. She scolds at him for a while before he points at something. There soon happens to be a girl on a floating house, everyone assumes it's just a boat house. But when the girl screams for help, then they notice there's a whirlpool nearby dragging her in. The gang tries to figure out what to do, until Misty spots an unsecured speedboat nearby.<br />
<br />
The group soon crowds aboard the boat and head off to rescue the girl. They get close to the house but can seem to figure out a way to pull it back. Ash has an idea and releases {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Bayleef}}. They both get a hold onto the boat with their {{m|Vine Whip}} and soon the boat is headed away from the whirlpool, dragging the house away from it. Back on shore, the mother and father of the child soon thank them both. Their daughter's name is [[Mika]], and there appeared to be a little incident going on when all this happened.<br />
<br />
The family's house is along a coast with some rock formations made by {{p|Corsola}}. They raise a "Corsola ranch" in which they raise Corsola and just use the parts they shed for the jewelry that makes Yellow Rock Island famous. Today however, there was one Corsola they didn't own that seemed to chase after Mika. It tackled her way through the others and eventually scared them all off. But that threw off the balance of the rocks, and the house supports broke and fell into the ocean. The same Corsola tried to help, but it wasn't much. Everything else happened a few moments ago. Noting that the Corsola isn't theirs, Misty wants to battle it so she can get it, but Brock pulls her ear in the same way she does to him.<br />
<br />
Back in town, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} snoop around a warehouse, peeking inside from a roof window. They soon drop some ropes and slide down all secret agent style. Except James crashes and gets him a louder "Sh!" from the others. They open up one of the many boxes, finding a stash full of Corsola jewelry. James and Meowth start to celebrate, but Jessie goes a little too far and fantasizes with the goods. While she's doing that, James and Meowth just start looting everything they can. That's until the clerk from before enters. Afterward, the Rockets scram out as fast as they can, the clerk chasing after them.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the family and the gang walk along the road talking about how they're going to get the Corsola's back. That's when {{TRT}} runs towards them and they wonder what's going on. When they stop and with the clerk stopping too, then they notice that Team Rocket stole the jewelry. Team Rocket teases them for a while then the Corsola that was with Mika bashes right into Jessie, knocking off all the accessories that was on her. Angry, Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, and James sends out {{TP|James|Victreebel}}. To take care of the job, Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and Ash sends out {{TP|Ash|Totodile}} and the match is taken care of with a double {{m|Water Gun}}.<br />
<br />
The clerk soon picks up whatever he can off the ground, thanking Ash and Misty for their help. But now they have to find a way to get the Corsola back. Mika's mom mentions that they like to be in pairs, so finding them shouldn't be too bad. The start looking around in the forest for a while. They soon spot two of them and picked them up. Misty soon gets back to wanting the Corsola, and again Brock manages to stop her. Brock sets up a Pokémon food lure and wait to see if anymore would come. Soon enough, two more are there. Just then Mika's Corsola begins acting hyper and it almost scares the two off until Ash and Mika's mom come and picks them up.<br />
<br />
[[Ash's Noctowl]] soon scouts the area and reports back finding two more. Noctowl leads them to a beach, where he lands to distract them for a moment before Ash and Mika's mom can get them. And back at Mika's area, they begin to look for the last remaining two they need. They soon find them and relax for a while. Mika's mom soon gathers them up and makes sure she has them all. Well, everyone seems happy, they gathered all their missing Corsola.<br />
<br />
But just before the little celebration could start, a few wire from nowhere soon went around the Corsola. Misty kicks one away from the lone one and soon everyone looks up to see who's doing this. It's none other than Team Rocket who soon starts to fly off with Corsola. Ash sends out Noctowl to get them down, but James counters with {{TP|James|Weezing}}'s {{m|SmokeScreen}}. This temporarily stops Noctowl for a while, but the Pokémon soon flies out of the cloud and zips by the Rocket's balloon at high speed, making a hole and causing them to crash.<br />
<br />
Everyone soon goes after them and finds the Rockets with the Corsola there. The Rockets get out of the balloon and then they scold at Ash and the others for once again foiling their plans but the only Corsola left out tackles into Jessie once more. And soon another battle starts again, Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} to use {{m|Rapid Spin}} to cut through the ropes that held the Corsola in place and the Rockets sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}}. The Corsola attacks Arbok with a Tackle while Victreebel use Razor Leaf on them which the Corsola managed to avoid. Arbok tried to get Staryu in a {{m|Wrap}}, but was soon tackled down by the Corsola herd. However, Victreebel managed to get a grapple on the lone Corsola with a Vine Whip and smashed it right into a rock. Though the Corsola looked down, it wasn't knocked out, and soon it used {{m|Recover}}.<br />
<br />
The Corsola was soon angry at the Rockets for that attack and soon gathered up all the Corsola and started to charge up their next attack: {{m|Spike Cannon}}. They all fired at the Rockets, leaving them running for cover of their balloon. However, one hit the ignition and blew up the balloon, blasting the Rockets off once more into the sky.<br />
<br />
Now that everything seems normal, Misty soon gets her battle she wanted. She sends out {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} and soon the fight between her and Corsola begins. Poliwhirl started off with a {{m|Bubble}}, which worked good, but the Corsola made a strong Tackle right into Misty's Pokémon. Poliwhirl managed and countered the Tackle with a {{m|DoubleSlap}}, slapping it silly. The Corsola looked like it was out for the count, however this surprises everyone by using Recover, removing the damage from Poliwhirl's attacks. Poliwhirl use Water Gun but it got deflected by Corsola's {{m|Mirror Coat}}. Misty now knows she has to fight fast if she wants to get the Corsola she wants. Showing no mercy, Poliwhirl does a Bubble and another DoubleSlap followed by a Tackle, putting Corsola out once more. Knowing it's now or never, Misty throws her {{ball|Lure}} to the Corsola. It wiggles for a while but soon the light goes out, Misty catching a {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}.<br />
<br />
The family thanks Ash and his friends for helping them get their Corsola back. It looks like there shouldn't be any more problems for now, and the gang soon heads off to the next town on the island.<br />

* {{p|Victreebel}} ({{OP|James|Victreebel}})<br />
* {{p|Corsola}} (multiple; Annie, Danny, Connie, Bonnie, Johnny, Donnie, Ronnie, Lonnie)<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* In this episode one of the rare times, and the second one in total, where Brock stops Misty by pulling her ear is seen. This time he was stopping her from catching the Corsola that tried to help Mika.<br />
* The city being built on a nest of Corsola is very similar to [[Pacifidlog Town]].<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
[[File:EP213 error.png|thumb|210px|right|Miscolored Bayleef]]<br />
* There are nine missing Corsola but when everyone is calling out names while looking for them there are more names than there are Corsola. The names that can be heard being called out in the dub are Annie, Danny, Kenny, Denny, Ronnie, Lonnie, Connie, Bonnie, and Manny. Ash can also be heard saying shorter versions of the names like Ann, Dan, Ron, and Lon. Also, when Andrea is saying the names of the Corsola to make sure they are all there she only says eight names, "Annie, Danny, Connie, Bonnie, Johnny, Donnie, Ronnie, Lonnie", even though there are nine Corsola to be accounted for. The names Johnny and Donnie were not heard when the group was calling out names while searching. The full list of names is (in alphabetical order): Annie, Bonnie, Connie, Danny, Denny, Donnie, Johnny, Kenny, Lonnie, Manny, and Ronnie. This makes a total of eleven names when there are only nine Corsola in total.<br />
* Even though the group found Annie near the trees they were still calling Annie's name when they were looking for the rest of the Corsola.<br />
* When Team Rocket is running back to their balloon basket the viewer may see Wobbuffet also running with them even though it was never heard coming out of its Poké Ball.<br />
* Ash's Bayleef is colored lime green in one shot, and its eyes are miscolored (and the black pupils are missing) mostly white and partially red instead of mostly red, partially white with black pupils.<br />

'''Fossil Fools''' (Japanese: '''こだいポケモンパーク！アルフのいせき！！''' ''Ancient Pokémon Park! Ruins of Alph!!'') is the 163rd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on September 7, 2000 and in the United States on September 15, 2001. <br />

==Blurb==<br />
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-4/episode-6-04_06-fossil-fools/--><br />
<i>Ash, Misty and Brock have reached the famous Ruins of Alph. Summoned there by a note from Professor Oak they join him and an old student of his, Foster in a facility for studying Pokémon fossils. Foster has made an amazing discovery, live prehistoric Water-type Pokémon thought to be extinct for thousands of years! Does their appearance have anything to do with the interrupted water flow from a nearby reservoir? Watch as our heroes find out what's fishy with the freshwater!</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visit the [[Ruins of Alph]], a place where many [[Fossil]]s of ancient {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} including {{p|Omanyte}} and {{p|Omastar}} have been discovered. At their arrival, Ash notices the Fossils of an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. Then {{an|Professor Oak}} shows up and agrees with his affirmation. Then he tells them the easiest way to recognise a Fossilized Aerodactyl is by its arrow-shaped tail. <br />
<br />
Next, they are all seen walking along the road while Oak tells them he found out about a mysterious discovery. Then they meet up with [[Foster]], a scientist and one of Professor's top students. Then he takes Oak aside and tells him that this is a very important matter and it would be dangerous if any information would be leaked, to which he replies by saying that Ash, Misty and Brock are serious Pokémon Trainers and won't tell anyone unless it is made public by Foster, to which the gang confirms the same thing. Foster agrees, then Ash notices a man washing a bone. Foster tells him that he's removing the dirt from a Fossil they just found by using a special device which uses a water jet in order to not damage the fragment.<br />
<br />
After determining the fragment's source, the device stops working, with Foster telling they've been having had water flow problems lately. Oak asks about the water's source and Foster answers, telling it's a natural crystal clear water reservoir which is deep in the woods. The scene then turns to {{TRT}} pumping the water into bottles and labeling them. Then they all daydream about what they will each do after getting rich from selling water. The pumper then stops working and the scene turns back to Oak admiring Foster's artifacts. Foster informs them that their studies have found that the first Pokémon appeared 2,000,000 years ago and all the Pokémon has its origins in the ancient seas. Misty is thrilled to hear the latter, again revealing her love for {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Then, ironically Brock drags Misty away from Foster by her ear.<br />
<br />
In the following scene, Foster leads the gang to a forbidden entry saying it is a place 2,000,000 years in the [[History of the Pokémon world|Pokémon past]]. As the door opens, a robotic Aerodactyl is flying around. Foster names the place The Ancient Pokémon Study Park. It's a special interactive and unique environment which recreates the [[Pokémon world]] being set to be opened for the public next week.<br />
<br />
They proceed to a lake where a huge statue of a {{p|Kabutops}} is seen preying on a [[Animals in the Pokémon world|fish]]. Then, Ash asks him about his mysterious discovery which Oak told them about. Foster tells them to wait when an Omastar and two Omanyte come out of the water. Initially, they all think the Pokémon are robots but Foster informs them that they're real. When the gang reacts to this, the Pokémon frighten up and dig in the sand.<br />
<br />
After witnessing this, Oak reveals that it was an Omanyte who inspired him to become a professor. It all goes back when he was 6 years old and along with his class they visited a Pokémon museum where he saw an Omanyte shell. Foster then reveals how he discovered them. He believes that their natural habitat was disturbed so they came to this Park.<br />
<br />
The scene turns to James trying to fix the pump while Jessie and Meowth are drinking water from the bottles. While repairing the pump, he discovers an Omanyte who was jamming the pump. Then, they proceed to make plans with the Omanyte willing to search for more of them, while the scene turns back to the main characters. There, they are seen watching the two Omanyte and the Omastar on the surveillance cameras. One more Omanyte and Omastar appear, and Foster reveals that the previous ones appeared the same day they had water problems.<br />
<br />
The door opens, and another scientist enters informing them the water has stopped flowing completely. They all agree to go to the reservoir. Outside the building Ash, sends his {{AP|Noctowl}} to scout the reservoir. The scene turns to Team Rocket where they are shown using the pump to take the Omastar and Omanyte out of the water. The scene reverts to the others who are shown to be in a {{wp|Sport utility vehicle|SUV}} heading to the reservoir. Noctowl returns and Ash realizes there is something at the reservoir.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Team Rocket loads their air-balloon with the Pokémon, when the others arrive. Then they start to recite the {{motto}}. Meowth explains them how they found the Pokémon, when Oak realizes the Omanyte and Omastar from the Park came when Team Rocket started pumping the water. After Foster tells them to return the Pokémon, Jessie declines sending her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and James his {{TP|James|Weezing}}. Arbok proceeds to use {{m|Poison Sting}} and Weezing {{m|Sludge}} but Pikachu dodges both attacks then uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} followed by a {{m|Tackle}} which sends them into Team Rocket and blowing up the pump. Jessie and James call their Pokémon back and proceed to lift-off with the Omanyte and Omastar.<br />
<br />
Suddenly, the balloon stops due to the overload of Pokémon. Ash sends his Noctowl again and orders him to make a hole in the balloon bringing Team Rocket down to earth. Pikachu shocks them and the Omanyte and Omastar send them blasting off with {{m|Water Gun}}. The scene then turns to the Omastar and Omanyte as they are returning back in the water. Then a scene is shown where the Pokémon dig a hole in the depths of the water, which leads them to a waterfall connected to a cave full of Omanyte and Omastar. <br />
<br />
The scene then cuts to Foster and Professor Oak saying goodbye to Ash, Misty and Brock.<br />

* The [[Ruins of Alph]] in the games is entirely different and focuses on the {{p|Unown}}.<br />
* Archaeology currently dates the first Pokémon at 2 million years ago, though a {{p|Kabutops}} Fossil had been discovered that is 20 to 30 thousand years older than that.<br />

* The Kabutops statue shows a [[Animals in the Pokémon world|real-world fish]] in Kabutops's claws.<br />
* In this episode, Team Rocket uses a {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Fossil Fools motto|variation}} of their motto.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* Though {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}} and {{TRT}} were surprised to see {{p|Omanyte}} and {{p|Omastar}} as not extinct, they have actually seen the aforesaid Pokémon in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''.<br />
* When Pikachu uses his {{m|Tackle}} attack, his mouth moves but his voice cannot be heard.<br />
** In addition, Pikachu [[Anime move errors|cannot even learn]] Tackle.<br />
* In the dub, when Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} (and when Misty points out that the Omanyte and Omastar would get shocked as well as Team Rocket), he says, "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt, Pikachu!" which is redundant as he says "Pikachu" twice in the same sentence.<br />

'''Type Casting''' (Japanese: '''ウソッキーはどこにいる！？''' ''Where is {{tt|Usokkie|Sudowoodo}}!?'') is the 162nd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 31, 2000 and in the United States on September 1, 2001. <br />
<br />

==Blurb==<br />
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-4/episode-5-04_05-type-casting/--><br />
<i>Trying to reach Ecruteak City our heroes are stopped in their tracks, unable to cross a bridge-less river. As they walk the bank, they see an old fisherman and strike a bargain, a ferry-ride across the river in exchange for an elusive Sudowoodo! As they comb the nearby mountains in search of one of these unique Pokémon they run into two research scientists arguing over Sudowoodo's type. Join Ash and the gang as they encounter this truly versatile Pokémon and attempt to determine what type Sudowoodo really is!</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
While making their way toward [[Ecruteak City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} find their path blocked by a river. {{an|Brock}}'s map suggests that a bridge across exists, but all they can see is construction workers working on a new bridge. Ash asks the construction manager where the bridge over the river is; he informs Ash and friends that a typhoon had swept the old bridge away. The travelers are dismayed to learn that the new bridge will be completed... in six months!<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, {{TRT}} soars through the sky in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|hot air balloon]], cooking potatoes with the balloon's fire. After Jessie complains that the meal is taking too long to cook, {{TRM}} suggests that they turn up the heat. But soon their balloon burns to a crisp, sending the occupants hurtling towards the ground. A stunned [[James]] informs the others that their potatoes are "well done."<br />
<br />
Back at the river, Ash and friends, trying to think of a way to cross the river, spy a fisherman in a row boat. The fisherman agrees to take them across in exchange for a captured {{p|Sudowoodo}}, a species which supposedly lives on a nearby mountain. The friends begin looking for Sudowoodo; even {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} tries to help. Surprisingly, Psyduck happens upon a Sudowoodo almost immediately. The Imitation Pokémon poses as a tree, confusing Psyduck by moving back and forth. Psyduck tries to alert Misty, but Misty doesn't see through Sudowoodo's camouflage - until it moves. Discovered, Sudowoodo panics and runs, followed closely by Ash, Misty, and Brock.<br />
<br />
After losing track of Sudowoodo, the gang enters a clearing, surprised to see a man and a woman in laboratory coats standing on tree stumps and arguing. The man introduces himself as [[Pierre]] and the woman introduces herself as [[Marie]]. Apparently, they're up in the mountains to work on a research paper about the local habitat and the Sudowoodo. The two disagree about Sudowoodo: Pierre agrees with the general scientific consensus that Sudowoodo is a Rock type, while Marie doubts that assertion, citing its {{type|Grass}} appearance and reports of the Pokémon using {{type|Fire}} attacks. Pierre seems to rely primarily on printed material, in contrast to Marie, who prefers first-hand research. Ash then gets an idea: he can use {{AP|Noctowl}} to search for the elusive Pokémon.<br />
<br />
While Noctowl searches, Marie informs Ash, Misty, and Brock that Sudowoodo can appear similar to many types of {{wp|trees}}, even to the extent of changing colors with the seasons. But Pierre immediately casts doubt on the likelihood of Sudowoodo being a Grass-type. According to his books, "Sudowoodo gather branches to look like trees." Then Noctowl appears, having sighted a Sudowoodo. As Ash and the rest approach the Pokémon, Sudowoodo notices them and flees. As fleet of foot as it may be, [[Ash's Chikorita]] proves just as fast. The desperate Sudowoodo turns around and uses what looks like {{m|Vine Whip}}. Chikorita easily deflects the vine with the leaf on its head, however, sending Sudowoodo's "Vine Whip" into the hands of Marie, who realizes disappointedly that Sudowoodo had simply been holding a vine. Sudowoodo then uses "{{m|Razor Leaf}}", but the leaves are all dried up, adding to the group's confusion. Ash has Chikorita Vine Whip Sudowoodo. Things look bad for the Imitation Pokémon until it suddenly lashes out with a very real-looking Vine Whip, sending Chikorita flying. Marie suggests that Ash use a different Pokémon to battle Sudowoodo in order to test its attacks again, so Ash recalls Chikorita and sends out {{AP|Totodile}}. Both Sudowoodo and Totodile do a bit of dancing before Ash tells Totodile to {{m|Tackle}} the Pokémon, but Sudowoodo narrowly steps out of the way. It also avoids Totodile's {{m|Water Gun}} by jumping frantically about. Misty observes that "Sudowoodo seems to hate that water," suggesting once again that the Pokémon is a Rock-type. Finally, Ash has Totodile attempt to {{m|Bite}} Sudowoodo. Sudowoodo is chased until it suddenly disappears into the ground. Ash wonders if Sudowoodo has just demonstrated {{m|Dig}}, meaning it might be a Ground type, but then Sudowoodo comes back up - in a net.<br />
<br />
Two people in [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|very convincing tree costumes]], one of them hanging the net from her fake foliage, say the {{motto}}, with Meowth popping out of a fake tree stump at the end. Before Ash and the others can act, James orders {{TP|James|Weezing}} to use {{m|SmokeScreen}}. When the smoke clears, Team Rocket is gone, along with Sudowoodo.<br />
<br />
As Ash and the others search for Team Rocket and their captive, Team Rocket itself is having an argument about Sudowoodo's type. Meowth asks Sudowoodo what type it is, but the reply is simply, "Why don't we get something to eat?" Even after being promised food, Sudowoodo avoids giving a straight answer, instead saying that it's "the type that wants to eat." Jessie gets impatient with the Pokémon, which acts in a similar annoying manner to {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, remarking, "You're the type that drives people crazy!" Finally they give up and decide to take the Sudowoodo to the fisherman for a ride across the river. The fisherman, suspicious that Team Rocket might be tricking him, points out that the Sudowoodo doesn't look healthy. James, assuming Sudowoodo is a Grass-type, takes out a watering can that resembles a {{p|Squirtle}} in order to water the Pokémon. But seeing the can, Sudowoodo cries out in fear and attempts to run away. While Jessie and Meowth hold on tight to the rope around Sudowoodo's middle, James slowly, agonizingly pours some water, but the rope breaks at the last second and Sudowoodo is free. Team Rocket chases after it, followed by the old fisherman, interested in catching it before they do.<br />
<br />
Ash and the others are making no progress finding Sudowoodo. Then {{AP|Pikachu}} spots it standing on a rock holding tree branches, hiding from Team Rocket. Before they can escort Sudowoodo to Marie and Pierre's lab, Sudowoodo runs off once again, determined to stay mysterious and free. Brock gets ahead of Sudowoodo and tackles it and tries to calm it down, assuring it that he's its "friend, like a friendly {{p|Lickitung}}." He even tries licking the struggling Pokémon, which prompts Misty to ask the scientists if they have any {{wp|psychiatrists}} at their lab. Then Brock tries feeding Sudowoodo his special Pokémon food. This plan works like a charm; Sudowoodo is soon begging like a dog for more food, even willing to go to the lab to receive some.<br />
<br />
At the lab, Marie asks Sudowoodo to perform Vine Whip, but Sudowoodo nervously shakes its head. Even more of Brock's food won't convince it to try the attack. Marie suggests that Ash use one of his Pokémon to get Sudowoodo to use Vine Whip. Pikachu uses {{m|ThunderShock}}, but Sudowoodo simply absorbs the electricity and beams it back, narrowly missing Pikachu. While Sudowoodo performs a victory dance, Pierre announces that his books list one of Sudowoodo's attacks as {{m|Mimic}}, an attack that imitates other attacks. Marie realizes that this is how Sudowoodo had used unusual attacks: it mimicked Chikorita's Vine Whip and Pikachu's ThunderShock. To prove that Sudowoodo is indeed a Rock-type, Pierre tries to spray it with water, but Sudowoodo escapes out the window. Soon, it finds itself surrounded by Ash and friends, Team Rocket, and the old fisherman from the river. Marie, surprised to see the fisherman, reveals that he is her grandfather. Then the grandfather explains that he had only been looking for a Sudowoodo because Marie had wanted to find one.<br />
<br />
Determined to get Sudowoodo, Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}. Ash then sends out {{AP|Cyndaquil}}. Before Arbok can Tackle Cyndaquil, Sudowoodo grabs it in midair and {{m|slam}}s it into the ground. When Arbok recovers, Sudowoodo points to the right. Arbok, falling for the trick, doesn't see Sudowoodo's {{m|Faint Attack}} until too late. Adding insult to injury, it {{m|Low Kick}}s the dazed Cobra Pokémon. Jessie recalls Arbok, but remarks that Sudowoodo's sly style would fit perfectly with Team Rocket. She has Wobbuffet face Sudowoodo, but Ash tells Cyndaquil to use {{m|Flamethrower}} on Wobbuffet before it can make a move. Sudowoodo, however, stands in front of the Flamethrower and, unharmed, sends it right back at Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil then tries to Tackle Wobbuffet, but Wobbuffet uses {{m|Counter}}, sending Cyndaquil flying. Misty, forming an idea in her head, sends out {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}}, then asks Ash to have Cyndaquil distract Wobbuffet. Wobbuffet prepares to Counter Cyndaquil's Flamethrower, but then Poliwhirl hits it with a Water Gun. Poliwhirl triumphantly blasts Team Rocket off with its Water Gun.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Sudowoodo runs around, trying to avoid the drops of water from Poliwhirl's attacks. It flees once again, but Marie tells the others to let it go. The argument had been settled; Sudowoodo is definitely a Rock-type. Pierre comments that he is glad Marie questioned the established position, since if she hadn't they never would have learned so much about the mysterious Pokémon. Pierre and Marie apologize to each other for arguing so much and thank Ash, Misty, and Brock for their help.<br />
<br />
Finally, Ash and his friends are on their way across the river on Marie's grandfather's boat. They wave goodbye to the scientists, knowing they are getting closer to their destination: Ecruteak City. In the mean time... Team Rocket is desperately climbing a perilous cliff. James grabs on to what he thinks is a tree branch. But as he pulls himself up onto the edge of the cliff, James sees that it's a Sudowoodo's arm he's holding onto. Sudowoodo shakes Team Rocket off, too scared to notice their agonized wails.<br />

==Blurb==<br />
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-3/episode-50-03_50-forrest-grumps/--><br />
<i>When an Ursaring attack leaves Team Rocket and our heroes in compromising positions, compromise they do, members of each team being paired with members of the other. But such a pairing one would guess to be doomed from the start... and one would be right this time.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
On the road to [[Goldenrod City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} decide to take a break at a nearby lake and relax with their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} out of their [[Poké Ball]]s. As all the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are relaxing, they notice something shiny fly through the air. After a few seconds it becomes clear it is a net which opens up and traps all the Pokémon. {{TRT}} make an appearance and announce they have got all their Pokémon and began to fly away. Far away, something attacks [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's balloon]] with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}. All the Pokémon are freed when a bunch of {{p|Ursaring}} appear. Ursaring fire Hyper Beam at them all and begin to charge at them. Ash, {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} recall their Pokémon and run for their lives; Team Rocket following them. They all run into a forest where the Ursaring fire Hyper Beam at them.<br />
<br />
After they escape the Ursaring, they realize they have all been split up. [[Jessie]] is with Brock, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Ash instead of Misty and {{MTR}} and [[James]] are with Misty instead of Jessie. Jessie decides to have a Pokémon battle with Ash when a bunch of Ursaring show up again. They abandon their battle and run. Meanwhile, Misty challenges James to a battle when Ursaring also show up and they run. A truce is made between Jessie, Brock and Ash. Ash finds out some information on Ursaring using his [[Pokédex]]. Also, Misty, James and Meowth agree to work together.<br />
<br />
Ash and Brock call for Misty as Jessie thinks about James and Meowth and wander of they are looking for her.<br />
James and Meowth aren't worried about Jessie as they think she is tough. When they reach a crossroads, Misty, James and Meowth suggest going this way but they all point into different directions. When they realize, they play odd finger wins which Meowth wins so they go straight ahead.<br />
<br />
Night falls and Ash, Brock and Jessie decide to stop looking as it is too dark to look for Misty. Brock cooks food and Jessie tries it to be surprised it tastes good. She feels upset when she thinks she doesn't normally have such tasty food but doesn't want to tell Ash and Brock so she lies. Misty, James and Meowth are walking. Misty says they should have gone right at the crossroads and James decides to have a break as he is hungry. Splitting a biscuit in half, James and Meowth eat half each while Misty has a sandwich. Noticing James and Meowth drooling, Misty splits her sandwich so they can have some. Misty and James follow Meowth to find a place to camp. In a cliff is a cave which Meowth decides they should sleep in but Misty isn't so sure about it. They are chased out by Ursaring. Ash, Brock and Jessie find a cave to sleep in. Jessie thinks about where she sleeps with James and Meowth. Brock hands a blanket to Jessie to keep her warm and she begins reminisces about her dreams before she joined Team Rocket, while James and Meowth find that they've merely swapped one bossy red head for another one. Misty, James and Meowth play odd finger wins again and Meowth wins again. James has a plan to climb down a cliff into a dark hole in the ground and assures Misty there is nothing to worry about. Meowth decides they should go back and pulls on the rope which lands on his face. Drawing a line in the stone, Misty tells them they can't cross it. Misty has more room on the rock than James and Meowth. James and Meowth plot to steal Misty's Pokémon but don't know how to get away. With Ash and Brock sleeping, Jessie decides to take Pikachu but she bumps into an Ursaring so she runs back screaming. <br />
<br />
The next morning, Ash and Brock are trying to find Misty. Jessie complains about not getting Pikachu or any sleep.<br />
When Misty, James and Meowth are awake, they realize they are only a few feet from the ground below them where Meowth lets slip they were going to take Misty's Pokémon. Again, they play odd finger wins where Meowth wins again. Confronted by another Ursaring, Ash, Brock and Jessie try to battle it. Ash sends out {{p|Cyndaquil}} and Brock sends out {{p|Onix}}. Onix uses {{m|Tackle}} which gets the Ursaring mad. Cyndaquil uses {{m|Flamethrower}}. Jessie thinks she, James and Meowth are pathetic. Ursaring fights against the Flamethrower and hits its chest. More Ursaring appear so Ash and Brock recall their Pokémon. An Ursaring springs up on Misty, James and Meowth. They decide to run away. <br />
<br />
Both groups are running away from Ursaring. They find each other and run across a wooden bridge. The bridge breaks in a couple of places. An Ursaring cuts the rope so the bridge falls, still with them on it; everyone holding onto to someone with Ash gripping to the wooden planks, holding everyone up. Chikorita and {{p|Bulbasaur}} are called out along with James' {{p|Victreebel}} which bites James' head. Onix and {{p|Arbok}} also help. Chikorita, Bulbasaur and Victreebel use {{m|Vine Whip}} to pull up the ropes. Onix and Arbok pull the ropes up with their tails. Just as they are all about to be safe, the rope snaps, sending everyone down below until Chikorita, Bulbasaur, Victreebel, Onix and Arbok save them. Everyone is safe and they celebrate for each other. <br />
<br />
The truces are over and they plan to battle. {{p|Psyduck}} is on the wrong side until Misty yells at it. Onix uses Tackle on Arbok. Victreebel uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} as does Chikorita. {{p|Togepi}} is moving its hands from side to side. Meowth uses {{m|Fury Swipes}}. Pikachu uses {{m|ThunderShock}} to stop Meowth. Togepi uses {{m|Metronome}} which causes Team Rocket to blast off.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, Ash notices a sign that explained why the Ursaring attacked everywhere they saw one. It read, "WARNING! It is currently the Ursaring mating season and they are using this area as their breeding grounds. Do not disturb them if it's the last thing you do, because if you do, it just may be."<br />
<br />
Team Rocket land where Jessie tells James and Meowth she is unhappy because of them and Meowth says to James they knew they were unhappy because of her a long time ago. Ursaring surround them.<br />

<i>Arriving at a beautiful hot springs, Ash, Misty and Brock decide they and their Pokémon need to take a much needed break from their journey. As Ash and the Pokémon hit a beach ball around, Totodile, Chikorita and Cyndaquil play a little too rough. Totodile ends up blasting the ball deep into the nearby forest and when Ash sends these three Pokémon to retreive it, they run into a gang of antagonizing Aipom! In order to survive the escapades of retrieving the beach ball and the pitfalls of trying to make it back to Ash, these three must learn to work together. Watch as Chikorita, Totodile and Cyndaquil learn to appreciate the power of friendship.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
While taking a break in a tropical jungle, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} notice a {{p|Mankey}} and two {{p|Aipom}} up a tree. They then discover a hot spring and relax. The gang lets their Pokémon out for a break and Ash begins a game of ball. The game is proceeding well until {{AP|Totodile}} whacks the ball a bit too hard and it hits {{AP|Cyndaquil}} before flying out of sight. {{AP|Chikorita}}, Cyndaquil and Totodile get into a fight, but Ash tells them to just go find the ball. <br />
<br />
Chikorita spots the ball while they are searching, but one of the Aipom is playing with it. When Chikorita asks the Aipom for the ball, the Aipom refuses to give it up. Totodile and Cyndaquil appear and try to claim it. However, Totodile smashes into a tree in doing so, knocking some other Aipom down from the tree. The Aipom get angry and start to bury Totodile, Chikorita and Cyndaquil in sand. Chikorita then got Cyndaquil to face its back on the Aipom. Chikorita used her leaf to hit Cyndaquil on the head and Cyndaquil's flame lit up, scaring the Aipom away. The trio then continue chasing the Aipom.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is walking in the same area eating fruit and day dreaming of the tropics. All of a sudden, the Aipom and Chikorita, Totodile, and Cyndaquil run them over in the chase, and [[Jessie]] says it's a great chance to get the Pokémon since Ash isn't nearby. The Aipom go into a cave, with the other Pokémon and Team Rocket following. Team Rocket is just outside the cave when a {{p|Snorlax}} walks up and tries to take the fruit [[James]] has. Team Rocket enter the cave to hide, while Snorlax eats the fruit and falls asleep, blocking the cave entrance. Team Rocket splits up to find another exit. {{MTR}} runs into a dead end, but also finds Totodile. Meowth is ready to catch him, but Snorlax is uncomfortable and starts pounding the mountain, causing cave ins. Totodile rescues Meowth from a rockslide and easily breaks loose from the rocks. Totodile then attempts to get them out by using {{m|Water Gun}}, but fails. Chikorita and Cyndaquil are also trapped, and are searching for a different way out. A few more cave ins occur, and they find Totodile. Chikorita immediately starts to repeatedly slam the rock and manages to break Totodile and Meowth out. In the meantime, Jessie, James and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} are able to blow their way out and run into a number of Aipom who start tossing rocks at them. <br />
<br />
In the cave, the four trapped Pokémon hear some wind blowing, so Chikorita locates the air hole and Totodile uses {{m|Water Gun}} while Cyndaquil and Chikorita push at the rocks. They get through, but the hole just leads back to where Snorlax is. Chikorita attempts to tickle Snorlax, and fails, but Cyndaquil wakes Snorlax with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Meowth nets the others, but Snorlax is upset and chases Meowth back into the cave. The Aipom are now chasing Team Rocket back in by causing a nearby waterfall to flood, and the water goes through the cave and out the other side carrying Snorlax, Team Rocket, and the other Pokémon along. Chikorita, Totodile, and Cyndaquil grab on to Snorlax and try to save themselves from a waterfall down stream by latching onto each other. Chikorita {{m|Razor Leaf}}s two trees down and they ride them to safety. Ash then catches up to them and rescues the trio. Back at the river, Team Rocket is holding onto Snorlax to keep from going over the falls, but Snorlax wakes up and starts swimming upstream, causing them to lose their grip and go down over the waterfall.<br />

<i>Brock checks his e-mail at a local Pokémon Center and finds Suzy, the Pokémon breeder who gave Brock Vulpix, has contacted him regarding a Pokémon beauty contest. She is looking for a Pokémon to enter the contest with and Brock agrees to return her Vulpix. When they meet in the contest city of Bonitaville, Suzy suggests they enter the contest together. However, before the contest can commence, Team Rocket seize all the Pokémon! Will our heroes be able to track Team Rocket and return the bevy of Pokémon beauties?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{incomplete plot}}<br />
{{an|Brock}} convinces {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} to go out of their way to meet [[Suzy]], who is taking part in a Pokémon Contest. There they meet her close friend and rival, [[Zane]], who has differing opinions on what makes a Pokémon beautiful. Suzy believes that a Pokémon's beauty comes from the inside while Zane believes it is their outer appearance that matters. Brock and Suzy enter the Pokémon contest together with {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} while Zane enters with his {{p|Ninetales}}.<br />
<br />
{{TRT}} crashes the Pokémon contest by posing as a pair of cutting edge Pokémon Stylists. They kidnap the first entry and take his place in the contest with an extravagant display of groomed and painted Pokémon while reciting a variation of their {{motto}}. The crowd eats it up until an [[Officer Jenny]] is brought to the stage by the real first entrant. She throws them out because [[James]] runs his mouth. The contest continues as normal until Meowth tries his idea.<br />
<br />
[[Jessie]] and James appear in the contestant waiting area dressed as doctors and tell everybody that the contest rules have changed and every Pokémon needs an examination. All the Pokémon are corralled into a room and subsequently into a container being lifted by the Rocket balloon. The contestants get worried and a group led by Zane starts to bang on the door demanding to see their Pokémon. Brock sends out his {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} and has it break down the door. Everybody rushes out to see Team Rocket trying to escape with their Pokémon. Ash sends out {{AP|Noctowl}} to pop Team Rocket's balloon and they fall to the ground. {{AP|Pikachu}} uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} to break the lock off the container and all of the Pokémon inside rush out back to their trainers. Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and James, his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} who uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}. As Ash tells Pikachu to get ready, Suzy's Vulpix and Zane's Ninetales use {{m|Flamethrower}} on Victreebel, burning the leaves, protecting Pikachu. Then both Vulpix and Ninetales use {{m|Fire Spin}} sending Team Rocket blasting off again.<br />
<br />
After this, the contest continues as normal ending with Brock and Suzy displaying their Vulpix proudly.<br />
<br />
==Major events==<br />
* Brock and Suzy enter the {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|Breeder}} convention, but it is not revealed whether they win or lose.<br />
* {{an|Brock}} returns {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} to [[Suzy]].<br />
* Suzy and [[Zane]] agree to open a Pokémon breeding center together.<br />

Note: The scrolling of the camera shows that more were entered and only parts of the Pokémon are shown in some cases. Multiple members of the same species were also seen to be entered in some cases. (As Team Rocket were entry 259 and there were only 251 known Pokémon at this time, there had to be duplicates.)<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Tracey look alike.png|thumb|200px|right|Tracey look-alike?]]<br />
* Brock states that he always knew Vulpix wasn't his and that he would have to return it one day, this episode being the moment.<br />
* This episode features a {{pkmn|Contest}} for Pokémon Breeders. It is very different from those for [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s introduced [[Advanced Generation series|later on]].<br />
** Jessie's {{series|Advanced Generation}} contest costume is reminiscent of the one seen in this episode.<br />
* The Exeggutor's appearance may be a reference to ''[[Takeshi's Paradise]]'', where two identical-looking Exeggutor dance with Brock.<br />
* The white tuxedo Brock wears in this episode makes another appearance in ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]''.<br />
* This episode's English title is the second to reference the movie, ''{{wp|Beauty and the Beast}}''. The first was ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''.<br />
* In this episode, Team Rocket uses a {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Beauty and the Breeder motto|variation}} of their motto.<br />
* Jessie and the announcer for the contest [[Breaking the fourth wall|break the fourth wall]] in this episode, with the latter saying that the audience will only find out who wins the contest "if you stay right where you are." Ironically, the TV audience never finds out who the winner is.<br />
* This episode is featured on the ''Crash of the Dairy'' volume of the High Voltage Collection series, a series of select Johto League Champions episodes on VHS.<br />
* There seems to be a {{Tracey}} look-alike during Team Rocket's second takeover.<br />
* Brock and Suzy's Vulpix is entry number 37 in the contest just as Vulpix is number 37 in the National Pokédex.<br />
* Suzy's original English voice actress, [[Leah Applebaum]], was replaced by [[Megan Hollingshead]] for this episode.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
[[File:EP169 Error.png|thumb|200px|right|Charizard's miscolored belly]]<br />
* The Pokémon Team Rocket steal are not dressed up, despite all the Pokémon entered (besides Vulpix and Ninetales) being stylised for the contest. <br />
* Near the end of the episode, one contestant's Charizard has an orange belly.<br />
* When Zane tells Brock he was jealous when he met Suzy, he refers to Suzy as a "he".<br />

<i>Stopping off at a Pokécenter, the gang looks around for nurse Joy. Suddenly she appears with Chansey, but makes the confusing statement Nurse Joy is seeing a patient. Brock nears the Joy-look-alike and reveals it isn't nurse Joy and Chansey at all, but Duplica and her Ditto! Our heroes find out the real nurse Joy is checking on Duplica's newest Pokémon, Mini-dit. Though there's nothing wrong with Mini-dit, it retains it's pint size, even when Transforming into large Pokémon. Be sure to watch for a teeny Arbok, an undersized Ursaring and a wee Wobbuffet. Although it may be small, this puny Pokémon can sure pack a wallop!</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
Continuing on their Pokémon journey, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive at a [[Pokémon Center]]. They are curious as to why it appears nobody is there, until a {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} and an unusual-looking [[Nurse Joy]] appear. She tells them that she was doing a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} examination. {{an|Brock}}, however, is suspicious, and calls out Nurse Joy as being an impostor. Congratulating him on seeing through the disguise, both Nurse Joy and Chansey reveal themselves to be [[Duplica]] and her {{TP|Duplica|Ditto}}. She explains that she is participating in a Pokémon acting competition, and will enter with her new {{p|Ditto}}, [[Mini-Dit]]. Meanwhile, {{TRT}}, spying on the Trainers from afar, recognize Duplica. They being formulating their plan to snatch her Ditto.<br />
<br />
After completing its examination, everyone is outside playing. Brock asks Duplica why Mini-Dit was being examined. She decides to show visually why it was at the center. After {{m|Transform}}ing perfectly into {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, Mini-Dit then Transforms into [[Brock's Onix]]. However, its size is nowhere near that of an actual Onix; rather, it is closer to being the size of Pikachu and Togepi. Noticing this, Team Rocket decides to steal Mini-Dit as well. Ash then challenges Mini-Dit to a {{pkmn|battle}}.<br />
<br />
Ash sends {{AP|Totodile}} up against Mini-Dit. It successfully Transforms into the {{type|Water}} and uses {{m|Scary Face}}. However, it ends up entertaining Totodile, who starts laughing at the move. It then uses {{m|Water Gun}} and hits Mini-Dit. Unfazed, Duplica commands Mini-Dit to use {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Unfortunately, as Totodile doesn't know that move, it didn't work. Out of nowhere, an explosion occurs in the Pokémon Center. Looking up, they see [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in the guise of Duplica and Ash on the Center's roof. While explaining their goal of stealing all the Center's Pokémon, {{MTR}} sneaks up and grabs Mini-Dit. The trio takes off into the Center, when suddenly Duplica realizes Mini-Dit is gone. After inspecting the Pokémon Center, they discover that Team Rocket's only goal was stealing Mini-Dit, as all the other Pokémon are safe.<br />
<br />
After a successful escape, Team Rocket celebrates their successful capture. But before long, they're formulating their next scheme; Meowth decides to have Mini-Dit transform into a mini {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}. He believes they'll trick somebody into trading them a rare Pokémon like {{p|Dragonite}}. They also decide to steal Mini-Dit back, and continue the scheme over and over again. While they plot, Ash and the others are having no luck in finding Mini-Dit and Team Rocket. Even {{AP|Noctowl}} and Ditto Transformed into Noctowl have helped. Just then, Nurse Joy appears and tells them a {{pkmn|Trainer}} told her about some suspicious-looking characters trying to sell a Mini-Arbok. When Ash and the others check it out, they find the trio trying to auction off Mini-Dit. Thanks to Meowth, the gang reveals themselves, and Mini-Dit is rescued.<br />
<br />
Not wanting to lose Mini-Dit, Jessie sends out Arbok in an attempt to regain it. However, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} appears instead. Duplica sends out both her Ditto. Ditto becomes Arbok, while Mini-Dit becomes Wobbuffet. Ditto attacks, but Jessie's Wobbuffet uses {{m|Counter}}. Likewise, Jessie's Arbok's {{m|Poison Sting}} is countered by Mini-Dit. While the battle rages, Meowth and James decide to steal Pikachu. James sends out {{TP|James|Weezing}}, but Duplica notices and has Ditto use {{m|Wrap}}. Ash then has Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which is countered by Wobbuffet. Having an idea, Duplica mocks Team Rocket for not attacking her stronger Mini-Dit. Jessie commands Arbok to {{m|Tackle}} it, but it is countered by Mini-Dit. James has Weezing use {{m|Sludge}}, but Mini-Dit counters with {{m|Mirror Coat}}. Duplica then explains to the trio that Mirror Coat counters special attacks. Now angrier than ever, Jessie commands Meowth to use {{m|Fury Swipes}}, but it is once again countered by Mini-Dit. Then both Ditto transform into Pikachu, and all three use {{m|Thunder}}, sending Team Rocket blasting off again.<br />
<br />
Back at the Pokémon Center, Duplica puts on a show by having Mini-Dit transform into a miniature {{p|Ursaring}}. The gang tells Duplica that even though Mini-Dit doesn't grow bigger, it's still the same Pokémon only a bit special. Duplica tells Ash and the others that she plans to become the greatest performing, and names herself and her Pokémon Team Ditto. After Ash comments that Duplica can become a Ditto master, she reminds him that they never finished their battle. They both head outside, where it continues.<br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Team Rocket is stuck in a tree. Jessie criticizes Wobbuffet for losing to a mini Pokémon.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* In this episode, [[Duplica]] enters in a [[Double Battle]] with [[Jessie]], using her Ditto and Mini-Dit against Jessie's {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.<br />
** Later, Ash and James join the battle, making it the second unofficial [[Triple Battle]] in the series. <br />
* This episode marks the first time in the anime that a Trainer commands a Pokémon to use {{m|Mirror Coat}}.<br />
** However, Jessie's Wobbuffet has always used the appropriate counter for a given situation even though she only ever commanded it to use {{m|Counter}}.<br />
* The Japanese title is a reference to the opening song ''[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]''.<br />
* In this episode, Mini-Dit uses {{m|Scary Face}} after {{m|transform}}ing into [[Ash's Totodile]], meaning that Totodile knows the move. However, Totodile itself isn't seen using the move until much later in the episode ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]''.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
[[File:Misty missing ponytail.png|thumb|200px|right|Misty's missing ponytail]]<br />
* Misty's Togepi disappears when Team Rocket look in the window through their binoculars.<br />
* Misty's ponytail disappears in one scene.<br />
* When James's Weezing uses {{m|Sludge}}, Mini-Dit uses Mirror Coat and is able to reflect it. This is incorrect as Sludge is a {{type|Poison}} move (which relies on a Pokémon's {{Stat|Attack}} prior to [[Generation IV]]). The correct counter would be {{m|Counter}} since Counter is used against [[Physical move|physical attacks]] and Mirror Coat is used against [[Special move|special attacks]]. In Generation IV and beyond, however, since Sludge is itself a special attack, Mirror Coat would reflect it.<br />
* After Meowth jumps on both Jessie's and James's heads the former's glasses disappear for a short while.<br />
* When Mini-Dit transforms into Totodile it uses {{m|Tackle}}, implying that Totodile knows Tackle - a move it [[Anime move errors|cannot learn]] in the games.<br />
* In the dub when Jessie and James are attempting to trade Mini-Dit (transformed into a miniature Arbok) Jessie refers to it as "Arbok the {{t|Rock}} Pokémon, now in pebble size." This is incorrect as Arbok is actually a {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.<br />
* When Pikachu used {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Counter}} prevented it from doing damage. However, it should have been {{m|Mirror Coat}} instead of Counter.<br />

==Plot==<br />
Enjoying a beautiful day hiking through the mountains on the road to Ecruteak City, {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} chase after a {{p|Ledian}} that speeds by them. As they pursue it along the trail, they round a bend and get hit full-blast by a {{m|Gust}} from a {{p|Pidgeotto}}. They meet [[Benji]] and [[Benji's father|his father]], who are the Ledian and Pidgeotto's owners, in the midst of a training session. The gang finds out that the father and son are part of the [[Mountain Patrol]]. The Mountain Patrol protects and preserves the mountain. Benji's father realizes he has to go to one of the villages at the foot of the mountain. He leaves Benji in charge and gives the group permission to stay.<br />
<br />
After his father leaves, Benji resumes training Ledian while the group watches. A gust hits Ledian from some bushes. Investigating further, they see that the gust is coming from a machine attached to Team Rocket's hot air balloon. Team Rocket recites a variation of their motto. They demonstrate the Gust Attack Blowing Vac's abilities to blow out air or to suck things in. Pikachu and Togepi are sucked into the machine. Team Rocket floats away but is soon blown off course by a strong wind. Benji realizes the danger Team Rocket is in. Upon hearing this Ash, Misty, and Brock start to go after them. They stop when Benji warns them that they'll get lost. Benji declares that this is his responsibility and that he will radio his dad before escorting them to help Team Rocket.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket's balloon is hanging off a rock spike jutting from a cliff. One of the ropes that are keeping them from falling snaps from the movement created by their squabbling. James tries to get Victreebel to use Vine Whip, but Victreebel just latches onto his head. James struggles to get Victreebel off which causes the remaining rope to snap. They all land safely on one of the rock spikes and Pikachu and Togepi are freed from their container. The rock spike breaks off and after bouncing off the surrounding spikes starts sliding down an incline. The spike ends up balanced precariously on the tip of an upright rock spike.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile the others race to find the crash site when falling boulders create a wall blocking their path. They are unable to climb over it because of its instability so they decide to go another way. This route requires them to climb an old long rope ladder to the service road. Benji goes first to make sure it is safe. He gives the okay to Ash, Misty and Brock who proceed to climb up after him. As they are climbing a gust of wind blows the rope ladder sideways and eventually it breaks off the cliff. But Benji catches it in time. With Ledian's and Ash's Noctowl's help he pulls it back up.<br />
<br />
Back on the balancing rock Team Rocket complains of hunger. James tries to eat some food secretly but his teammates catch him. The ensuing rumble over the food the rock wobble. Unable to reestablish the balance everyone slides of the rock. As they fall Togepi uses metronome to teleport everyone back on the rock perfectly balanced. Togepi munches on James's candy bar while the others are puzzled by what just happened. Jessie claims the falling was just a dream.<br />
<br />
Ledian spots the teetering rock and returns to Benji. Ledian leads him and the gang towards the rock. Ash orders Bulbasaur to grab Togepi and Pikachu with its Vine Whip, but they are too far away. Ledian decides to go get them. Benji is afraid it is too dangerous and tries to stop Ledian, but Ledian reminds him that they are Mountain Patrols and this is what they trained for. Ledian grabs the end of a rope and a net while Benji and the gang grab the other end of the rope. Ledian flies up to the rock and wraps the rope around the upright rock. The net it strung on the rope so that it slides along it. Meowth translate Ledian's instructions to jump in the net. Everyone jumps in and Ledian slowly brings down the net, fighting against strong winds. The winds knock down the rock, dragging Ledian and the net full of Pokémon and humans down. Fortunately Ledian is able to hold onto the net. Before Ledian can bring them down Team Rocket nets Togepi and Pikachu and escape though a hole made by Victreebel. On the ground James sends out Weezing and Victreebel. Benji orders Ledian to use comet punch but Victreebel strikes before the punch is delivered. Ash sends Bulbasaur into the battle. Eventually, Benji's father, his Pidgeotto, and another Ledian arrive. Pidgeotto uses Gust to blow away Weezing's smokescreen. Pidgeotto then defeats Weezing and Victreebel. The two Ledian team up and use swift against Team Rocket. Pikachu and Togepi escape the net. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to blast Team Rocket away.<br />
<br />
As the stars come out the Ledian glow. Benji's father says this shows that Ledian is well trained. He grants Benji the right to be an officer of the Mountain Patrol.<br />

<i>When a blackout hits a town on the road to Ecruteak City, our heroes realize it puts the Pokémon in the local Pokécenter in jeopardy. Wanting to help nurse Joy and the ailing Pokémon, the gang takes on the task of finding out what went haywire at the power plant. Before they can help restore the power however, they have to overcome the latest Team Rocket invention: The Mecha-Robo-Wobbuffet! See how Ash and Pikachu team up with Gary and his Umbreon in order to overcome Team Rocket and restore power to the grateful town.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} are on the road to [[Ecruteak City]] when they overhear a [[Pokémon battle]] nearby. Curious, they go to get a closer look and are surprised to see Ash's rival {{Gary}} battling another [[Alex Davis|Trainer]]. The {{pkmn|Trainer}} calls out an {{p|Alakazam}}, which causes Gary to bring out his {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}. Checking his [[Pokédex]], Ash realizes that this Umbreon is the evolved form of the {{p|Eevee}} that Gary used to defeat him back in [[Pallet Town]].<br />
<br />
Alakazam starts things off by launching a massive {{m|Zap Cannon}} attack toward Umbreon but misses when it leaps into the air in the nick of time. Alakazam then tries {{m|Psychic}}, but Umbreon is unaffected as it is a {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which are unaffected by Psychic attacks. Using its {{m|Headbutt}} next, Alakazam charges at its opponent with an alarming speed. However, Umbreon dodges and takes advantage of the situation by {{m|Tackle|tackling}} Alakazam. But it recovers from the blow and retaliates with {{m|DynamicPunch}}, which Umbreon easily evades. Alakazam then pulls off a {{m|Double Team}} and sends all clones to strike at once. Gary commands Umbreon to stay calm to sense the real Alakazam, which it does. Just as Umbreon is about to connect with a {{m|Quick Attack}}, Alakazam uses {{m|Teleport}}. As Umbreon searches for the whereabouts of its opponent, the other Trainer tells Alakazam to end the battle with {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Gary notices the strange light coming from his left, and warns Umbreon to dodge the attack. It jumps up at the last minute, and finishes Alakazam off using {{m|Hidden Power}}. After Gary wins his battle, Ash challenges Gary to a match but Gary declines, reminding Ash of how Umbreon defeated {{AP|Pikachu}} before as an Eevee. Ash tells Gary he doesn't have to use Pikachu to battle Umbreon, and sends out {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, {{AP|Totodile}} and {{AP|Noctowl}}. However Ash's attempts to impress his rival backfire as Chikorita goes straight to Ash for attention, Cyndaquil wanders about aimlessly, Totodile starts dancing around wildly and Noctowl starts to sleep. Ash starts to despair, but by now Gary has walked off. Naturally Ash isn't happy about the brush off and vows to beat Gary and Umbreon the next time they meet.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} try to come up with their next scheme. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} begins to bother Meowth, who responds with his signature {{m|Fury Swipes}} attack. When Wobbuffet uses its {{m|Counter}} to reflect the attack back on Meowth, Jessie suddenly gets an idea.<br />
<br />
In a nearby town, Ash tries to ignore Misty and Brock as they talk about Gary's Umbreon. Wanting to bolster his strength in case he meets Gary again, Ash starts stuffing his face with hamburgers the moment they arrive at a [[Pokémon Center]]. Brock tries to tell him that it could be weeks before they meet Gary again, but Ash refuses to heed his advice. Without warning, the lights in the Center go out. [[Nurse Joy]] comes in and says that the entire town has suffered a blackout, and that without electricity the intensive care unit in the Pokémon Center can't function. Eager to impress Nurse Joy, Brock volunteers to go to the town's hydroelectric power plant and see what the problem is. Ash and Misty decide to go along as well. On their way to the plant they pass by Gary's campsite, who decides to follow them with Umbreon.<br />
<br />
At the power plant they find all of the plant employees tied up, and realize that {{TRT}} is responsible for the blackout, having diverted the energy from the plant into their new [[Team Rocket's mechas|Robo-Mecha Wobbuffet]] with a gigantic power cable. Like a real Wobbuffet, the robot has the ability to counter attacks and easily reflects every attack Ash and his friends try to throw at it. Realizing they can't beat it, Ash and company beat a hasty retreat into the woods, with Robo-Mecha Wobbuffet right behind them. However just when everything seems lost, the Robo-Mecha Wobbuffet suddenly stops, having used up the full length of its power cord. Arriving on the scene, Gary takes advantage of the robot's weakness and orders Umbreon to sever the power cable, stopping the robot dead in its tracks. With Team Rocket unable to do anything, the four Trainers rush back to the power plant and quickly release the imprisoned workers. The workers say that with the damage Team Rocket caused, the only way to restore the town's power is to activate the backup generator located nearby.<br />
<br />
On their way to the generator, Ash and his friends are once again interrupted by Robo-Mecha Wobbuffet, which has become fully mobile thanks to James' and Meowth's bicycle power. Under Jessie's control the robot begins to fight against Ash's Pokémon, but quickly stops again when an exhausted James and Meowth lose their energy to pedal. Ash orders {{AP|Pikachu}} to use its {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but finds that the attack only recharges the robot. With a new supply of energy the robot resumes its attack with even greater force. Watching its counter attack in action, Ash suddenly gets an idea. He orders {{AP|Cyndaquil}} to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, which is quickly sucked into the robot's stomach. Before it can release the attack he orders {{AP|Chikorita}} to use {{m|Vine Whip}} and hold the robot's counter mechanism shut. This causes the counter to be released inside the robot, blowing it to pieces and causing Team Rocket to "blast off".<br />
<br />
With the robot out of the way Ash and Gary reach the backup generator, and combine their Pokémon's powers to get it running again. When they realize the backup generator isn't giving off enough power, Pikachu uses its {{m|ThunderShock}} to get it up to peak capacity. Impressed, Gary tells Ash that he's gotten a lot stronger since their last encounter, and says that next time they meet it might be him that challenges Ash to a battle. Surprised at having won his rival's respect, Ash says that he looks forward to that day, and the two part ways.<br />
<br />
The next day, after saying goodbye to Nurse Joy. Ash and his friends continue on their journey.<br />

* The same Alakazam uses up to seven moves in this episode, despite the fact that most Pokémon are only able to learn up to four moves at a time. This is an example of [[anime physics]].<br />
* In the scene where everyone was pulling down on the lever, Togepi was initially pulling behind Chikorita. After panning to Ash briefly, however, Cyndaquil suddenly appeared in between Togepi and Chikorita.<br />

<i>On their quest to capture Articuno on film, Todd and our heroes run into a frozen Jigglypuff! Ash uses his Cyndaquil to defrost the melodious Pokémon. When Todd asks Jigglypuff if it has seen Articuno, Jigglypuff nods towards Snow Top Mountain. Undeterred by the incredible height and icy conditions, the gang heads up the mountain where they run into a Pokécenter. Both Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy explain the legend of Articuno; Centuries ago, a group of travelers were lost on the mountain. Certain they would perish, they almost gave up hope but an Articuno appeared and guided the group to safety. As a tribute, they created a statue of Articuno that still stands today. Some say that anyone traversing Snow Top Mountain is protected by Articuno. After hearing the story, Todd is convinced there are Articuno on the mountain and continues his vertical journey. With Ash and Co. in tow, a blizzard kicks up and temporarily blinds the group. Brock and Misty want to stay put and let the blizzard pass, but Todd and Ash are determined to continue. Little do they know, directly ahead of them is a cliff edge and a deadly drop. Will Articuno come to their rescue? Is this Legendary Pokémon really the guardian of the mountain, or is it merely a legend?</i><br />

* When this episode aired on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}}, the first episode would follow it. The reason for this is unknown. It is possible that they may have lost the rights to air the last 20 episodes, much like they lost the rights to air the first 145+ episodes.<br />
* This episode's dub title is both a reference to the photography term, {{wp|Freeze frame shot|freeze frame}}, and a pun on {{p|Articuno}}'s [[species]] (Freeze Pokémon). It could also be a reference to the song of the same name by {{wp|The J. Geils Band}}.<br />

<i>As Todd and our heroes take a lunch break on a rocky mountain top, a Swinub rushes at them from a nearby crevasse. Misty is startled and drops her lunch. As the Swinub quickly swipes it, two more appear followed by a pint-sized girl named Peggy. She explains her father uses the Swinub to sniff out hot springs for hotels wanting to build resorts. Unfortunately, the Swinub's sniffers haven't been up-to-snuff and they haven't honed in on a hot spring in months. When Team Rocket try to steal the Swinub, the ensuing battle is just what they need to warm up to the search for hot springs!</i><br />

Continuing their travels with {{Todd}}, their search for {{p|Articuno}}, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} no sooner stop for a snack break than a trio of {{p|Swinub}} appears and makes off with {{an|Misty}}’s rice cake. The group then jump to pursue them and soon learn that these Pokémon are in the employ of a father-daughter team of water prospectors. The Swinub’s keen sense of smell allows them to detect substances buried deep underground. Impressed by their operations, {{TRT}} decided to pirate the idea and its key Pokémon and turn them to their own gain...<br />

* This episode is the first time the "To be continued" graphic simply appeared on the screen instead of the screen resizing to show the graphic.<!--Not sure if this is dub only or if this also applies to the original...--><br />
* This episode's dub title is a reference to the illness, {{wp|spring fever}}; it may also come from swine fever.<br />
*''[[DP063|Hot Springing a Leak]]'' has a similar plot to this episode.<br />
* The names of the Swinub in this episode are Sue, Ein, Ub, which, if said together quickly, become their species, {{p|Swinub}}. The same applies to their Japanese names, U, Ri, and Moo are the three syllables that comprise Urimoo.<br />
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 5: Ice'' copy of [[Pokémon Elements]].<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* In the dub, [[Jessie]] commands {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to use a Fang Attack on two of the {{p|Swinub}}. She most likely meant to say {{m|Bite}} and it was simply misunderstood when dubbing.<br />

'''All That Glitters!''' (Japanese: '''ヤミカラス！うばわれたバッジ！！''' ''{{tt|Yamikarasu|Murkrow}}! The Stolen Badges!!'') is the 184th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on February 8, 2001 and in the United States on December 15, 2001. <br />

<i>On their way to Olivine City, Brock and Misty break for lunch while Ash polishes his Johto League badges. As he shines each one, he sets them on the tree stump in front of him. Three Murkrow emerge from a nearby bush and perform a synchronized song and dance for our heroes. Delighted by the impromptu entertainment, the gang is shocked when the Murkrow grab Ash's badges and fly away. Will Ash be able to track down the Murkrow and reclaim his badges or will the Murkrow prove too adroit for Ash?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{Incomplete plot}}<br />
The episode begins with {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} waiting for {{an|Brock}} to finish cooking. Ash starts admiring his [[Badge]]s. {{AP|Pikachu}} sees something and catches everyone's attention. {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} goes and three {{p|Murkrow}} emerge from the bushes. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] and finds out that they steal shiny objects. The Murkrow steal his Badges! Ash sends out {{AP|Noctowl}} who knocks the Murkrow out of the tree. Ash cheers but the Murkrow fight back by throwing mud in Ash's face. <br />
<br />
Noctowl follows them, but they attack at once and [[Fainting|knock it out]]. Brock uses his {{TP|Brock|Golbat|Crobat}}'s {{m|Supersonic}} to track the Murkrow. Ash goes over asks them for the Badges, but they {{m|fly}} off. Golbat tries to follow, but it gets knocked out. Pikachu knocks out the {{type|Dark}} Pokémon at once with a {{m|ThunderShock}}. Pikachu is captured by {{TRT}}. The Murkrow pop the Team Rocket balloon and steal [[James]]'s bottle cap collection, which really angers him. James tries to get them, but he trips and Murkrow fly away with their stash. James continues to try and get back his prized collection by trying to [[Caught Pokémon|capture]] Murkrow with a net, but Team Rocket gets a boulder instead and gets thrown away. After another win, Murkrow yet again admire their loot. <br />
<br />
Ash says that he needs to get his Badges back and uses his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to climb the hill. On the top of the hill, he spies on the Murkrow and makes a plan. Ash tries to sneak up to them and snatch the Badges, but he gets {{m|peck}}ed and knocked down the hill. The Murkrow start to mock Ash. Suddenly the Murkrow see something shiny, but it is only a diversion. Everything was going great until Togepi blows their cover. After another failure that causes Pineco to get blown up, Ash has a plan and sends in Noctowl. Noctowl flies in and {{wp|Apparent death|plays dead}} and the Murkrow let their guard down and Noctowl snatches the Badges. Team Rocket attacks with a [[Team Rocket's mechas|giant robot resembling a giant Murkrow]]. They go on a rampage and steal everything insight. <br />
<br />
The Murkrow are about to be sucked away, but Ash saves them. Pikachu ends getting caught which results in our heroes fighting back! Noctowl and Murkrow team up and go in, which results in the robot short-circuiting which releases Pikachu. Pikachu delivers a {{m|Thunderbolt}} which sends Team Rocket blasting off again. Ash gets back his missing {{Badge|Fog}} and thanks the Murkrow for their help. <br />
<br />
With that Ash and {{ashfr}} are off for more adventures.<br />

* The dub title of this episode is a reference to the phrase, "All that glitters is not gold", which is also used by the dub title of ''[[AG173|All That Glitters is Not Golden]]''.<br />
* This is the first episode to use music from ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''. However, the background music is replaced in the dub.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* When {{Ash}} is talking about all the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that helped him earn his [[Johto League]] [[Badge]]s, he mentions {{p|Pidgeotto}} (whilst actually showing a {{p|Pidgeot}}) and {{p|Scyther}}. The Pokémon shown belonged to [[Falkner]] and [[Bugsy]], respectively, and not to Ash (who, in fact, never even owned a Scyther).<br />

==Plot==<br />
{{Incomplete plot}}<br />
Continuing on their journey, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stop and their Pokémon enjoy another fine meal prepared by {{an|Brock}}. {{TP|Brock|Golbat}} begins to act strangely and flies away. Brock, Ash and {{an|Misty}} chase after the Flying-type and end up at an archaeological dig. When they meet the intelligent and beautiful archaeologist, [[Tierra]], she explains her ultra-sonic equipment had just been destroyed and perhaps its errant waves attracted Golbat. She also tells our heroes of an ancient golden mask and scepter, once belonging to a queen who had the power to control all Pokémon. She is now looking for a buried temple said to contain these two priceless artifacts and asks Brock if his Golbat will use its Sonic attack to help her locate the exact placement of the temple.<br />
<br />
Overhearing our heroes, {{TRT}} employs their latest mechanical menace, [[Team Rocket's mechas|the Dig-a-Tron]] to beat the gang to the temple. When [[Jessie]] dons the mask and scepter she has the power to control all Pokémon. She first tries her powers out on [[James]]' {{TP|James|Victreebel}} and then {{MTR}}, making him do a dance. When Ash and friends arrive at the temple, Jessie takes control over {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, {{TP|Brock|Onix}} and Golbat, however Golbat manages to break loose of the spell and starts to attack Jessie. Onix then helps Team Rocket to escape from the temple up onto solid ground but when Jessie and Pikachu cross a strange marking on the ground, the spell breaks and Pikachu uses its {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack on Jessie.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, during Team Rocket's escape, the temple starts to crumble and Golbat gets trapped under some fallen rocks but with the help of Brock, manages to escape. Our heroes then make it back to up to the surface where they see Pikachu shocking Jessie with Thunderbolt. Tierra explains that the power of the mask and staff only works within the home of the queen, upon hearing this Team Rocket jump back into the Dig-a-tron (which turns into a rocket) and begin to make an escape. Ash sends out {{AP|Noctowl}} to chase the trio alongside Golbat, however the Dig-a-tron is too fast for both {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. Brock offers some encouraging words to Golbat and upon hearing this, Golbat begins to evolve into {{TP|Brock|Crobat}}! Now with a much faster speed, Crobat catches up with Team Rocket and uses its {{m|Wing Attack|wings}} to slice the Dig-a-tron into pieces.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket fall onto the ground below and Jessie attempts to grab the gold mask and staff, but she is blocked by the newly evolved Crobat. It's not long until Ash and friends catch up and Team Rocket get their usual zap of Thunderbolt before flying far away into the sky. The gang leave behind Tierra who is excited about the new discovery and carry on their journey.<br />

===Errors===<br />
* When Brock uses Golbat's supersonic sound waves to locate the queen's temple, Ash and Misty say that Brock did the same thing when they were lost in [[Dr. Anna]]'s medical clinic. However, that isn't true, as Brock was the only one of the trio lost in the maze under it while Ash and Misty [[EP165|worked to get him out]], and Dr. Anna was the one who used the supersonic attack to navigate the maze.<br />
* When Ash checks Crobat on Dexter, Crobat's feet disappear.<br />
* In the last part of this episode's blurb, Jessie's name is misspelled Jesse.<br />

<i>The morning sun shines brightly upon our heroes and their Pokémon after spending the night next to a sparkling stream. Ash and his Pokémon wash up for breakfast and notice Brock kneeling over a pot of porridge on the campfire. After asking what's on this morning's menu and getting no response, Ash places a hand on Brock's shoulder. Brock's only response is to fall to the ground! Misty discovers that Brock has a fever and tries to convince him to spend the day resting in bed. Brock finally agrees and tells them there are directions on how to perform his chores in his notebook. As Ash and Misty begin the day's chores they easily become overwhelmed. They must cook, do the dishes, feed the Pokémon, haul water, gather and split wood and even polish Brock's rock Pokémon. Certain disaster seems eminent when Ash decides to speed up the polishing process with his Totodile's Water Gun! Will Ash and Misty be able to perform all of Brock's chores, take care of the Pokémon and fend off Team Rocket's nighttime attack all on their own?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
On their way to [[Olivine City]], the gang decides to stop at a lakeside campsite for a break. {{Ash}} finishes washing up and is ready for breakfast. He and {{an|Misty}} check on {{an|Brock}} to see if the oatmeal he was preparing was ready yet. Ash then complains that he's tired of oatmeal. Brock doesn't respond and Misty asks if he's okay. When Ash touches him, he falls over. Ash apologizes thinking that he fell over because of his comment about the oatmeal. Misty feels his forehead and discovers that he has a terrible fever.<br />
<br />
Ash and Misty take him inside the cabin and get him into bed. All of the Pokémon are watching through the windows and door of the cabin to see what's happening. Ash says that Brock's fever was caused by exhaustion and that he should rest for the day. Misty agrees. All of a sudden Brock wakes up. He tries to get out of bed claiming that there was a lot of work to be done. As soon as he stands up he is struck with dizziness and nearly collapses until Ash catches him. Ash and Misty convince him that he should rest for the day. Brock agrees and tells them to use the notes he made on doing chores.<br />
<br />
Later while Ash and Misty were deciding how to do the chores for the day, they are approached by [[Brock's Geodude]] and {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}} who are looking particular eager for something. Misty realizes that this day is the day that Brock usually polishes them. Ash takes on the heavy task of polishing Onix while Misty starts to polish Geodude. While Misty is reading the instructions on how to polish {{type|Rock}} Pokémon, Ash calls for his {{AP|Totodile}}. He then commands it to use {{m|Water Gun}} to get the job done faster. Onix then struggles around frantically trying to dodge the Water Gun attacks. Misty yells at him and reminds him that Rock Pokémon hate water. Ash tells Totodile to stop and then he and Misty are knocked over with Onix's tail.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Brock is having a dream that he's in a beautiful meadow with three dancing {{p|Bellossom}}. All of a sudden, his name is being called by three beautiful women. He attempts to meet them but is then struck by a meteor. He soon snaps out of his sleep and sees {{TP|Brock|Pineco|Forretress}} on his chest and {{TP|Brock|Golbat|Crobat}} at his side. Brock thanks them for watching him and then hears Ash and Misty arguing. He decides to go help them but Golbat hits him with a light {{m|Supersonic}} attack and he falls back down in his bed. He realizes that his Pokémon are trying to get him to rest. He is touched by this and decides to rest for their sake.<br />
<br />
A while later, Ash decides to go find something to have for lunch. He takes {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita|Bayleef}}, {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, and {{AP|Totodile}} with him into the forest. They soon come across some apple trees but they don't see any apples. Not far away, {{TRT}} used a vacuum to strip the trees of their apples and had a plan to sell them. Ash sees them and confronts them about it and they do their {{motto}}. They then use the same vacuum to catch Pikachu. A battle then ensues. [[Jessie]] sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} while [[James]] sends out {{TP|James|Victreebel}}, which turns and bites him. Jessie tells Arbok to use {{m|Poison Sting}} as Ash tells Totodile to counter using Water Gun. He then tells Cyndaquil to use {{m|Flamethrower}} which hits Team Rocket causing Pikachu to be released from the case. Ash then commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} and sends Team Rocket blasting off. Afterwards, Ash decides to help himself to the apples they picked.<br />
<br />
Back at the campsite, Brock is having yet another dream. This time he's in a clear sky with a few {{p|Butterfree}}. He is then called over by the same three girls from his first dream. As he's running to them, he falls through the clouds. Ash and Misty enter the room to see Brock fall out of bed. Ash and Misty wonder about his strange behavior as he gets back into bed. Ash hands over a plate of cut up apples for Brock to eat. He eats a slice whole and starts to choke on it. Golbat pats his back with its wing to help it go down. Misty explains that Brock must be getting better because his appetite has returned. Still, they recommend that he sleep for the rest of the day. Brock then says he'll try to run faster to catch the girls in his dream.<br />
<br />
Dinner time is approaching fast and Misty decides to take on the task. She tries to follow Brock's recipe but realizes she put in salt instead of sugar into the pot. {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}} brings her a bag of sugar. But then she pours in too much and looks for the salt. {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} brings it to her and again she pours too much in so she adds more sugar. Feeling that the recipe is boring, she decides to add some of her own ingredients such as ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, soy sauce, cinnamon, and Worcestershire sauce among many other things. Later, Misty serves the concoction to Ash and Pikachu, who aren't very enthusiastic to eat it. Ash tells her that he ate too many apples earlier but she doesn't believe him. She tastes it for herself and gets a disgusted look on her face.<br />
<br />
Later that night, Ash and Misty decide to sleep outside so that Brock can get a better rest. They then begin to talk about how hard Brock works and that they should be more grateful to him. The two then fall asleep. A little bit later, Team Rocket is seen spying on them as they plan to steal all of their Pokémon. James and {{MTR}} notice Jessie eating something. She shows them the pot of botched stew that Misty had made earlier. She claims that it is the most delicious thing she had ever tasted. Meowth and James decide to help themselves but are disgusted by the taste. Jessie doesn't understand how they could not like it. Soon Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile are awakened by the sound of what they thought was Ash's voice. They look over to a nearby bush and see a cardboard cut out of Ash which they believe to be the real thing. But Bulbasaur knows better and tries to stop the others from approaching it. However it is too late and all four end up caught in a net. Ash and Misty hear all the noise and wake up. Team Rocket then takes off with the four captured Pokémon. Ash and Misty pursue them and take the rest of the Pokémon with them.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Brock is having yet another dream. This time of a beautiful ocean with a few {{p|Magikarp}} frolicking in it. Again, the same three girls call out his name. When he goes over to meet them, he is hit by a tidal wave and dragged out to sea. He is then awoken by Golbat and Pineco. Brock looks out the window and sees Ash and Misty running off with the Pokémon following. He automatically assumes it's Team Rocket's doing.<br />
<br />
While chasing Team Rocket, Ash and Misty fall right into one of their pitfall traps. They then board their balloon, which has jet engines attached to it. Four claws come out and pick up {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl|Politoed}}, Onix, and Geodude. Now Pikachu is unable to shock them because it might hurt the other Pokémon. Pikachu is soon grabbed as well. When everything looks grim, Golbat suddenly appears and attacks their balloon with {{m|Wing Attack}}. It crashes and all the Pokémon are set free. Brock soon shows up looking much better than he did earlier. Jessie and James send out Arbok and {{TP|James|Weezing}}, respectively. Brock tells Pineco and Golbat to [[Double Battle|team up]] and attack Arbok and Weezing. Then he tells Onix to uses Rock Throw. Pikachu soon finishes the job with {{m|Thunder}} and Team Rocket blasts off again.<br />
<br />
The next morning, Ash and Misty wake up and notice a delicious aroma in the air. It's none other than Brock's cooking. They tell him that the oatmeal is delicious. Brock says that he feels way better and he wants to start work again today. But then Ash suggests that Brock take another day off to make sure that he doesn't get sick again. He agrees and goes in the cabin. He dreams of the three beautiful girls again. But this time, he catches them.<br />

<i>Knowing our heroes are still en-route to Olivine, Team Rocket lies in wait. Dressed as scientists, they explain they've just repaired the amazing Poké Pod. To test it out, Pikachu is placed in the pod and locked in tight. When Team Rocket reveals their true identity and runs, Ash and Co. are in hot pursuit. When our heroes catch up to Team Rocket, there isn't a Poké Pod or Pikachu in site! Realizing Wobbuffet was hiding for the handoff, Ash chases after it. In Wobbuffet's rash retreat, it trips dropping the Pikachu containing Poké Pod 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. 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! Who will reach Wobbuffet and the key first?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
<br />
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are still en-route to [[Olivine City]] for Ash's fourth Gym Badge, however what they don't know is that {{TRT}} are lying in wait with a new plan to capture {{AP|Pikachu}}. As Ash, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} walk they come across three scientists (really [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}) discussing their new invention... the PokéPod which is completely indestructible and is apparently the safest way to transport Pokémon. Ash asks if they intend to test it out, and Jessie shows him they do by grabbing and sticking Pikachu inside. After closing the Pod, the device locks itself securely. James declares the device to be a total success, and now cannot be opened without the key. Ash asks for Pikachu back, however Team Rocket reveal themselves to Ash and quickly make a getaway with {{TP|James|Weezing}}'s {{m|Smokescreen}} as cover. The gang gives chase as Team Rocket runs for it, however Jessie is able to pass the PokéPod to a hiding {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, who has the key to the device around its neck, which goes unnoticed by Ash and the others. By the time they catch up, Jessie declares that the PokéPod is gone, leaving the gang clueless... until Wobbuffet blows the clean getaway by revealing itself to them. Ash makes a run at the Pokémon, causing Wobbuffet to panic and accidentally trip on a nearby rock. While the PokéPod containing Pikachu goes flying into Ash's arms, Wobbuffet falls into the nearby river and is quickly swept away and over a waterfall, with the key needed to release Pikachu!<br />
<br />
Ash tries to force the lock open but it's no good, and Jessie admits that Wobbuffet has the only key. Team Rocket get upset that they may never see Wobbuffet again, and Meowth demands Pikachu as compensation. Ash, of course, refuses but Jessie points out that he may have no choice... as the Pod cannot be opened, Pikachu is cut off from food, water and air. If Team Rocket find the key first, Ash will be forced to hand Pikachu over to ensure its survival, however James cuts Jessie off by pointing out that the twerps are gone with the Pod to find Wobbuffet first. Team Rocket quickly take off too, knowing that the first to find Wobbuffet and get the key will be the ones to get Pikachu. <br />
<br />
At the falls, Ash and the gang struggle to find a way safely down while Team Rocket sail by in the [[Meowth Balloon]] and downstream in an attempt to catch up with Wobbuffet, who is enjoying a relaxing ride in the water. As it looks up to the clouds and happily sees Jessie's image among them, it bumps into a {{p|Quagsire}} and gets a fright. Quagsire points out the directions to a nearby forest, and Wobbuffet leaves the water to go and wait for Jessie to catch up. Team Rocket spot it walking off, just as Ash, Brock and Misty spot it too. All six give chase into the trees but lose Wobbuffet, who starts swinging from tree to tree. Ash runs after it but falls down a steep hill onto a road. Brock and Misty catch up, as Team Rocket crash down. Wobbuffet also apparently had a bumpy ride and is now hanging from a branch above the road. It is happy to see Jessie, however just then a massive truck speeds around the corner. Jessie tells Wobbuffet not to jump yet, but its too late and Wobbuffet falls onto the truck which is quickly away. As Wobbuffet hangs on for dear life, several police cars come around the corner and Team Rocket soon disappear from the law. From the lead car, [[Officer Jenny]] explains that they need to catch the truck and Ash tells her they need to as well...<br />
<br />
Soon the situation is explained and Jenny allow Ash and company to join her in her pursuit of [[Goneff]], a master thief who breaks into bank vaults with the assistance of his {{p|Golem}}. Brock as usual tries to flirt, but Misty painfully reminds him that she's got enough problems already. A roadblock has been set up to catch Goneff as he nears a bridge, leaving him with no escape. As Goneff tries to shake off the police, the sudden turns cause Wobbuffet to fall onto the windshield. Goneff tries to get the blue blob off, but to no avail and the distraction causes him to run right into the roadblock. The truck crashes through several police cars into the city, and Officer Jenny has all the bridges raised and all avenues of escape cut off. Soon the truck is surrounded by the police as well as Team Rocket who approach from the balloon. <br />
<br />
It appears the jig is up for Goneff, however the thief has a trick up his sleeve. Pressing a button, he causes the truck's container to open (which Wobbuffet falls through) and a Golem balloon to emerge with Goneff on board making his getaway. However the balloon has a stowaway in the shape of Wobbuffet, and Goneff tries to throw out the Pokémon. However Wobbuffet uses {{m|Counter}} to instead send Goneff flying right into the hands of the police... as the Golem balloon starts to fly away with Wobbuffet still on board! <br />
<br />
Giving chase in the Meowth balloon, Jessie tries to recall Wobbuffet into its [[Poké Ball]] however the Golem balloon is flying wildly and the recall beams don't make contact with the errant Pokémon despite James moving them as close as possible. The balloon suddenly suffers a puncture as it hits the corner of a building and Jessie has Meowth cover the hole... but this doesn't last long as Wobbuffet makes a misguided attempt to jump into the balloon and instead sends both it and itself flying away in opposite directions.<br />
<br />
Ash is now trying to smash apart the PokéPod but it appears that it is indeed impervious to damage and the key is indeed the only way to release Pikachu. Suddenly Ash sees Wobbuffet and the key flying overhead. Wobbuffet is going to fall into the river, and Ash sends out {{AP|Chikorita}} and has her use {{m|Vine Whip}} to catch Wobbuffet. This works, and Wobbuffet and the key are snagged but are slammed into the raised bridge and dropped into a speedboat. The owner is sent flying into the water and Wobbuffet is knocked out cold as the boat speeds away. <br />
<br />
As Team Rocket sits by their deflated balloon and lament over losing Wobbuffet, they suddenly see the speedboat containing Wobbuffet and the key going by with Ash, Misty and Brock giving chase on foot. Jessie, James and Meowth join the pursuit with Ash and Jessie both jumping onto the boat. As Jessie tries to kick Ash off, Wobbuffet finally comes to and pulls off the steering wheel. Jessie tells it to slow down using the throttle, but instead Wobbuffet takes the boat up to maximum speed and breaks the throttle. Ash and Jessie hang on as the boat thunders down the river while at the same time Goneff makes his getaway from the police on a patrol bike. Ahead of the speedboat is a {{p|Lapras}}-shaped cruiser which causes it to go flying and Wobbuffet to be thrown onto the back of Goneff's bike. As Goneff curses his luck, the speedboat is about to crash into a bridge when Ash uses {{p|Totodile}}'s {{m|Water Gun}} to slow it down.<br />
<br />
Regrouping, Ash and Jessie learn that Wobbuffet is being held hostage by Goneff who is holed up inside an abandoned building demanding a helicopter in exchange for its release. As Officer Jenny and the police surround the abandoned building where Goneff is holed up, Team Rocket work out a plan to get them past the good guys. <br />
<br />
As Goneff, his Golem and a bound Wobbuffet wait for the police response, Ash and friends sneak around the back and find a tunnel dug inside the building. Team Rocket suddenly appear in front of Goneff and (after reciting the [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]]) try to make him a deal... release Wobbuffet and they'll let him use their tunnel to escape. Goneff refuses and sets Golem onto them, intending to use the tunnel and leave Team Rocket high and dry in the hands of the police. Suddenly Ash appears with Totodile demanding Wobbuffet's release. Goneff sends Golem after Totodile, and despite the fact that Golem is at a disadvantage typing-wise its sheer strength overpowers Totodile. Goneff tells Golem to use {{m|Tackle}} however Totodile hides behind Wobbuffet who uses Counter, freeing it from the rope and sending Golem flying into Goneff who crashes out of the building and is quickly arrested.<br />
<br />
As Ash congratulates Totodile on its quick thinking, Wobbuffet rejoins the rest of Team Rocket and they make a getaway with the key needed to free Pikachu. Ash and Totodile chase them, only to find them leaving in a Wobbuffet-shaped balloon. Ash demands the key, however Wobbuffet is now inside its Poké Ball and Team Rocket boasts that now its their turned to be chased. However Wobbuffet suddenly emerges from its Poké Ball, as its known to, and Ash takes the chance, sending {{AP|Noctowl}} to pop the balloon. Noctowl does so, and as Team Rocket are shaken about the key falls off Wobbuffet and is sent towards the ground. Jessie, James and Meowth all separately try to grab it, but can't do it before Ash finally manages to get his hands on it. Pikachu is quickly released, and Team Rocket sadly realize they've lost as Ash sends them blasting off with a well-deserved {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Ash thanks Officer Jenny for her help, and she thanks him for helping to apprehend Goneff. Soon Ash, Misty and Brock are back on their way to Olivine City.<br />
<br />
Back in the city Jessie, James and Meowth are trapped hanging onto a bridge while Wobbuffet is standing safely on the top. As the three beg for its help, Wobbuffet is just happy to relax after its adventurous day.<br />

==Blurb==<br />
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-5/episode-12-05_12-a-parent-trapped/--><br />
<i>With the young Lugia in the possession of Butch and Cassidy, Ash and friends set about rescuing it while protecting its parent from itself. The parent Lugia fights desperately to free its child—playing right into Team Rocket's hands. If Ash fails to win the Lugia's trust and convince it not to oppose Team Rocket alone, it seems this Pokemon is fated to end up in captivity along with its child.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
With the {{jo|Silver|child}} {{p|Lugia}} now captured by [[Team Rocket]], [[Dr. Namba]] proudly stands in front of the new catch when [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] show up. They have a plan that they could use the child Lugia as a lure to capture its parent. The plan would seem almost too easy. <br />
<br />
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, [[Ritchie]] and [[Oliver]] sit depressed on the shore when [[Luka]] comes. She wonders what's going on and they tell her that Team Rocket has captured the child Lugia. Luka is shocked, but they have little time to discuss a plan. The parent Lugia suddenly emerges from the sea. Soon everyone has been told about what happened to the child Lugia, which the parent Lugia doesn't respond to at first. The parent soon starts combing the area but doesn't find anything, so it goes back to the gang. Again they tell it that the child was captured but they'll do whatever it takes to get the child back. The parent becomes enraged and releases a gigantic storm and wreaks havoc across the island and the neighboring one. With this the gang seek shelter in a cave.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] still wants to find some way to bring some attention. She still frets about having the chance of taking the child Lugia away, but maybe there's something else to it. They hop out of their sub but soon gets blasted by the parent Lugia. <br />
<br />
After awhile in the cave, Ash decides that he is going to face Lugia and try to get it to believe them. Ritchie agrees, and goes with Ash. Luka offers to drive her boat. The three of them leave the cave and head to Lugia. However Lugia fires a beam at them, which Luka dodges easily. This continues for a while until finally it's an either now-or-never situation. Eventually, Lugia calms down and believes Ash and Ritchie when it says they'll find its child. Lugia stops the storm and flies away. <br />
<br />
With that, now they have a new objective, finding Team Rocket's base. Their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} do a scout of the area but couldn't find anything, but since it's not on land, maybe it's underwater. Ash, Misty, Brock, Ritchie, and Oliver get in scuba gear and head for the ocean. They don't find much, until they notice the {{DL|Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp Submarine}} belonging to Jessie, [[James]] and {{MTR}}. They follow that to the base but as soon as they get there, the Rocket's plan soon goes into effect. The base emerges towards the surface! <br />
<br />
After the base had emerged, they release the child Lugia still in the cage and with some contraption out there for the parent to get. The gang obviously knows this is a trap and soon the parent Lugia comes by. Everyone soon sees this, the gang yelling not to get any near while running. Then they are stopped by Butch and Cassidy. Since they can't go any further, it would just be easier to attack the parent Lugia from here on to see if it would get the idea. Both {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Sparky]] go up for an attack, but the parent easily dodges it. Butch messes with a little gizmo and some headgear on their Pokémon glows orange for a while, making them aggressive. They explain that this new device not only keeps them angry, but boosts their abilities. {{p|Houndour}} does a {{m|Flamethrower}} which was significantly more powerful than before. This doesn't stop them however, the gang persists on attacking the parent but everytime Butch and Cassidy have their Pokémon retaliate. <br />
<br />
Butch increases the intensity of the headgear and soon their Pokémon become worse. Ash sends out {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and Ritchie sends out his {{p|Charmeleon}}, [[Zippo]]. But all it takes is one hit and no more. The gang tries to give the parent again but this time the parent Lugia decided to give them a shot with its {{m|Aeroblast}}. Although the attack misses, it knocks all of them out. The Lugia continues on and the trap activates. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is ready to put their balloon plan into action. However, Meowth accidentally pops it with his claws and it sends Team Rocket blasting off. The Rockets soon retrieve their second catch, going back underwater.<br />
<br />
Ash wakes up later, only to find himself, Misty, Brock and Ritchie in a cage.<br />

<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/05_10-hi-ho-silver-away/--><br />
<i>Ash, Misty, and Brock run into a local shopkeeper who introduces them to one of her friends, a jewelry maker who tells them the legend of the fourth Whirl Island. When they first encounter the jewelry maker they find that he and his Sandslash are very ill. After Ash, Misty, and Brock help them to recover, they learn that the jewelry maker is in love with the shopkeper and wants to propose. As usual Team Rocket isn't far behind and up to no good with a plan to try and steal all of the jewelry in the town.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} walks around in one of the last cities around in the [[Whirl Islands]]. The only thing they seem to notice is that everything is shaped like the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Silver Wing}}, and it's no joke when it's everything: rings, necklaces, to even food. All of a sudden, a vendor comes by them to sell them some pins, claiming that every one of them is pure 100% silver. A woman comes by and takes one, but she breaks it, proving that the guy's a con artist, so the vendor runs off. Ash wonders how that woman would know that the pin was a fake. She reveals that she has a pin as well; when she tries to bend it, it doesn't break (however, the clasp on the back is worn out). She takes them into her shop, introducing herself as [[Ariene]]. She says she's supposed to get some more jewelry but it looks like her supplier hadn't come yet. The gang decides to go with her to see what's going on. <br />
<br />
They arrive at a house, with Ariene shouting the name, "[[Jenaro]]." After he offers no reply, she opens up the door, Ash being a little hesitant about coming in. They look around to see if there are any clues. They find one when Ash trips on something. Ariene goes opens up the windows to let in light and they find a {{p|Sandslash}} lying there. They also find Jenaro, unconscious. Apparently both were victims of heat exhaustion and needed some rest. Jenaro is up nearly right away when he is put into a bed, and the Sandslash is slowly improving, thanks to {{an|Brock}}. Ash asks why the town is so obsessed with the Silver Wing. Jenaro explains that it's because of an old legend. A long time ago, a storm had caught a sailing ship in the area, the crew trying their best to survive. Unfortunately, their ship was destroyed. Suddenly, the storm stopped altogether. Looking up, they saw a mysterious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and then a silver wing floated down to them. Since that point, many people have looked up to the Silver Wing as a gift. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, {{TRT}} look around the town, also wondering what's going on. [[James]] notes that this town seems to make every other thing in the shape of the Silver Wing. The same vendor that came to Ash comes up to them, trying to sell them some pins, using the same approach. The sound of "100% silver" brings the conclusion that swiping everything in this town will make them rich. <br />
<br />
That night, everybody spends the night at Jenaro's house. Later that night, {{AP|Pikachu}} notices that Jenaro isn't in his bed; Ash wakes up and notices it as well. Jenaro is outside, working on a Silver Wing pin, just about ready to give it some final touches. The gang goes outside to see what Jenaro is doing. He explains that tomorrow is Ariene's birthday, and he really wants to surprise her. Making a replacement pin was the only thing he could do. Just one problem: he's a little shy, afraid of what to say when he gives her the gift. Ash and Misty give some encouragement, while Brock tries to ignore this revelation. <br />
<br />
The next day at the town, Jenaro gets a tuxedo, flowers, and a small box for his present. He's a little embarrassed, and still afraid of what to say. Misty tries to get him to go to Ariene and get it over with, except something's up. All the jewelry seems to be getting sucked up towards something. Everyone looks up and sees that it's {{TRT}} with a giant vacuum. They show off their catch and turn the vacuum on a higher setting. Jenaro tries to run towards them but he trips, the box falling out and being sucked into the vacuum. After that Team Rocket floats away with their loot, with Ash running right after them. Team Rocket floats away faster than Ash can run, so he sends out {{AP|Noctowl}} to puncture the balloon. When Team Rocket lands, the gang make it there. It looks like Team Rocket won't go without a fight. [[Jessie]] sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and James sends out {{TP|James|Weezing}}. Ash uses Pikachu to make short work of the two Pokémon, but Weezing spews a {{m|Smokescreen}}, blinding Pikachu. Arbok attacks with {{m|Poison Sting}}, hitting Pikachu. Then both attack, giving Pikachu no chance to retaliate. Then Ariene and Jenaro get there, Jenaro's Sandslash is going in to use {{m|Sandstorm}} to shield Pikachu from the attacks. Ariene tells Sandslash to use {{m|Swift}} but Jenaro gives her an odd look saying that he was going to tell Sandslash to use that attack. Sandslash does so anyway, knocking them back to the balloon. Pikachu goes up for a {{m|Thunder}} to blast them away. <br />
<br />
Afterwards, Jenaro gets back his present, but he is still unsure and afraid. He tries to say something, and Sandslash pokes him; but just as he is about to pop the question, Ariene asks him the same. They argue for a few seconds, but they realize they both love each other. Back at Jenaro's house, Jenaro tells them where they might find this mysterious Pokémon they saw earlier and the gang heads off, saying their goodbyes. They make it to a tunnel and head through, finding themselves on a cliff. They take a breather, enjoying a soft wind that comes by, when they notice a Pikachu in some grass. The Pikachu turns out to be [[Sparky]] as the episode ends.<br />

<i>Strolling through downtown, our heroes notice a mob of girls chasing someone down. Suddenly, a man in a black cape and hat runs up to Ash and gives him a package to hold. He tells Ash to stay put because he'll be back for the package shortly. As the mob approaches, the mysterious man runs away with the girls in hot pursuit. Our heroes stand stunned by this interesting turn of events. As they do, the package in Ash's arms wiggles open to reveal a Smoochum! When our friends decide to try and track down Smoochum's trainer, they pass by a theater showing the opening to a brand new Brad Van Darn movie! Realizing this is the same person who gave Ash the Poké package, the gang decides to return Smoochum to Brad during his in-person appearance at a nearby theater. Believing Brad's Smoochum doesn't fit the macho image of the movie star, Brad's manager tells Ash to keep the Pokémon because Brad has no interest in Smoochum anymore. What will become of Smoochum now?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are on their way to the next [[Johto League]] [[Gym]] in [[Olivine City]] when they pass through an unnamed town. The group sees a herd of screaming girls running down the street, and {{an|Brock}} chases after them; Ash and {{an|Misty}} follow him. As the trio runs after the girls, a mysterious man gives them an odd yellow ball telling them to 'hold onto it for him', and Ash complies. The man runs away saying he'd be back later, and drops his hat on the way. Ash unwraps the yellow ball to find a {{p|Smoochum}} in it.<br />
<br />
Smoochum kisses Ash and Misty, and tries to kiss {{AP|Pikachu}} while Ash reads Smoochum's [[Pokédex]] entry. Smoochum retrieves the dropped hat, and runs to Brock, who puts it on his head. Then, the screaming girls re-appear and pummel the trio. {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, Smoochum, and Pikachu are thrown out of the chaos, and Togepi and Smoochum follow a {{p|Skiploom}} into an alley. Unable to get Ash's attention, Pikachu follows them. The ladies realize that Brock isn't who they were looking for and disband. The trio look at a screen in the streets and realize the man who gave them the Smoochum was a movie star named [[Brad]]. Misty then realizes Togepi, Pikachu, and Smoochum are missing.<br />
<br />
{{TRT}} is then shown watching the Pokémon from a screen, controlling the robotic Skiploom with a remote. Togepi and Smoochum follow the Skiploom into a small hole in a building, but Pikachu can't quite fit. [[James]] takes Togepi and Smoochum into his arms while [[Jessie]] gets Pikachu out with rubber gloves. Jessie puts Pikachu in a rubber sack, and begins cuddling Smoochum when Ash and the gang arrive. Ash sends out {{AP|Bayleef}} and {{AP|Totodile}}. Bayleef uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut Pikachu out while Totodile uses {{m|Water Gun}} to release James' grip on Togepi and Smoochum. {{MTR}} tries to attack with the Robo-Skiploom, but Totodile blasts it away with Water Gun. With Team Rocket wet, Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, sending Team Rocket blasting off.<br />
<br />
Brad is seen looking for Ash in the streets when the girls re-appear. Before they can get to him, one of his managers pulls up and lets Brad get in the car, but he warns Brad about roaming the streets. Smoochum gets excited after seeming a limo, and Ash and his friends acknowledge that it must be Brad's, so they follow it. They come to a large dome arena that's blocked off by screaming girls, so they look for another way to get in.<br />
<br />
Inside, Brad tells his manager that he can't go on with the show until he gets his Smoochum back; but his manager refuses to let him do that, and suggests that Brad get rid of Smoochum in exchange for a tougher Pokémon to fit his image. Brad refuses and reveals that he was only a star because Smoochum believed in him and made him believe he could do it. His manager says he'll look for Smoochum and leaves with Brad to go downstairs.<br />
<br />
Outside, Ash tries to climb a tree to get into one of the upstairs windows, but seeing Brad leave the room, they give up with the idea and enter the front door when they open. Inside, they try and get through Brad's manager to go backstage and give back Smoochum, but Brad comes out and gets Smoochum before his manager can refuse them. They all go into the green room backstage until Brad has to leave to get ready.<br />
<br />
Backstage, Team Rocket steal two backstage guard's uniforms, but Brad's manager comes and tells them both to throw Ash, Misty, Brock, and Smoochum out of the building. Team Rocket escort the group to the stage and then catch them with a net, but Smoochum falls out of the net.<br />
<br />
Back in the green room, the manager tells Brad that the kids got thrown out of the building, and Brad accuses him of being behind it. Brad runs to find them.<br />
<br />
Jessie tries to convince Smoochum to get into a cage, but Smoochum doesn't want to. Meowth, playing with the drop cords on the stage, accidentally draws the curtains open, revealing themselves to all the audience, which cries for Brad—who is still back stage being held up by his manager. Hearing his Smoochum's cry, Brad runs onstage to save Smoochum, but Team Rocket is ready to battle. Using {{TP|James|Weezing}}, James orders it to {{m|Tackle}} Brad, who easily evades it. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} who uses {{m|Poison Sting}}, but Brad evades it, too. After evading another of Weezing's tackles, Weezing slams into Jessie who releases Smoochum on accident. Brad catches Smoochum, and the crowd goes wild, but then is confused by Brad's affection to Smoochum.<br />
<br />
Arbok's {{m|Headbutt}} misses and it makes Meowth drop the cords and release the net, freeing Ash and the gang. Ash sends out Bayleef and defeats Arbok with {{m|Vine Whip}}, but Weezing uses {{m|SmokeScreen}} and blocks everyone's view. Ash sends out {{AP|Noctowl}} to clear the air, and once done, Brad commands Smoochum to use {{m|Sweet Kiss}}, sending Team Rocket into a daze. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, sending Team Rocket blasting off once again. <br />
<br />
The crowd applause, but then Brad reveals that it wasn't an act. The crowd then bursts into more screams and chants, "We love Brad!" over and over again. <br />
<br />
The episode ends with Ash, Misty, and Brock looking at another screen on the side of the street; this time, Brad is starring with Smoochum in a new movie. Now, all the girls have Smoochum in the town. Ash and his friends continue on the road to Olivine City.<br />

* This episode uses music from ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* When Brock slouches over, after the girls leave, half of his right arm is missing; and it looks as if his right hand is on his chest in a weird position.<br />

<i>When our heroes happen upon an unusual formation in the middle of a grassy field, Brock believes it is a crop circle... placed there by aliens! Just then, something comes hurtling out of the sky towards them. A far away voice calls down an apology for almost hitting Ash with the object. Skyler, a boy training for a hot air balloon race, introduces himself to the gang and explains he was practicing for the upcoming event. Getting a marker as close to the center of the large, circular target by throwing it from the hot air balloon is one aspect of the competition. Intrigued by the hot-air balloon racing circuit, Ash quickly makes up his mind to enter as well. When Brock reminds him they don't have a chance of winning without a hot air balloon, Skyler's father says he has something to help them out. Pulling a balloon out of his shop, he begins to fill it up and to our heroes surprise, it's a Pikachu shaped hot air balloon! When Team Rocket decides to enter the race as well, Jessie and James sabotage several of the balloons the night before the big event. With only Team Rocket, Ash and Skyler in the running, who will end up winning the grand prize?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} walk across an open field, they notice a pattern in the grass that looks like a circle with a X in the middle of it. All of a sudden a ball with a leaf-like tail drops nearby. They look up, wondering what's going on, and Ash spots a [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|balloon]] in the distance, shaped like and pulled by a {{p|Fearow}}. The balloon lands next to them, allowing a boy to jump out of it. He introduces himself as {{jo|Skyler}} and explains that he is training for a big balloon race coming up soon. <br />
<br />
Skyler takes the gang over to a garage, where a man is working on a balloon design. The man - [[Tenma]] - designs balloons based on {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} for a race, with a picture gallery on the wall showing some of his work. He sets up a {{p|Pikachu}} balloon for the gang to ride in and train for the race themselves. They take off and do a few check-ups, before letting out a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon to drag the balloon faster. Ash sends out his {{AP|Noctowl}} while Skyler uses his Fearow. Noctowl helps to make the balloon go faster, but it goes too fast and causes the balloon to tilt. Tenma tells them to slow down a bit, which allows Ash's group to regain control. <br />
<br />
Nearby, {{TRT}} watches their archenemies. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] don't really care about what's happening, but {{MTR}} comes by with the race pamphlet, revealing that the winner of the race gets an advanced burner for their balloon. Jessie and James aren't too thrilled, but Meowth seems eager to enter the race. Late at night before the race, Jessie and James sneak into the balloon start area, apparently intent on tipping the odds in their favor.<br />
<br />
The next day, dozens of contestants are ready to race. Team Rocket makes a last-minute entry, using their signature Meowth balloon. As they start off, most of the balloons malfunction; only a few balloons, including Ash's and Skyler's, are left floating. Meowth realizes that Jessie and James sabotaged the competition; he angrily berates them for cheating, but James sends out {{TP|James|Weezing}} to choke up the competition with {{m|Smog}}. The smoke knocks out all three competitors, expect Ash and Skyler. Meowth yells at James again, but Jessie shrugs and uses {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to shoot out some {{m|Poison Sting|Pins}}. Ash and Skyler dodge the barrage, but the other racer ends up falling. Meowth, fed up with his team's dirty tricks, slashes Jessie and James, only to be tied up for his troubles.<br />
<br />
A storm is building ahead, but James activates a jet engine to send his team's balloon soaring through. As Ash and Skyler try to get through the storm, Ash's balloon's burner shorts out. Ash sends out {{AP|Cyndaquil}} to replace the burner, but they are headed straight into a mesa. Ash tells Noctowl to pull up as best he can while Cyndaquil uses a powerful {{m|Flamethrower}} to heat up the balloon. Tense seconds later, the balloon pulls up and heads above the clouds. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Team Rocket has a significant lead, but their celebration is cut short when they see Ash and Skyler break through the storm. James transforms the engine into a missile launcher and fires a few volleys towards Ash's balloon. The balloon doesn't get hit, but Cyndaquil gets knocked back. Ash saves his Pokémon from falling off the balloon, but another missile explodes nearby and injures his shoulder. As Ash falls, Cyndaquil hops back up to the burner and {{AP|Pikachu}} is mad and wants to fight; however James uses the jet engine to flee. Ash tells Noctowl to help Pikachu get to Team Rocket, so Noctowl lets go of the rope and gives Pikachu a ride towards Team Rocket's balloon. James uses the missiles again to fend off Noctowl, prompting Skyler to send Fearow to distract Team Rocket. As the larger Flying Pokémon distracts the criminals, Pikachu manages to fire a {{m|Thunderbolt}} at Team Rocket, destroying the balloon and sending them flying into the distance. <br />
<br />
With the cheating villains gone, Ash and Skyler get to the target area and toss their balls at the target. Both get a bull-eye, making them both winners of the race; however, there's only one balloon burner as a prize. Ash tells Skyler he should take the prize, since Ash and his friends don't usually travel by balloon anyways. After exchanging goodbyes, the trio departs for their next destination...<br />

<i>Having earned Pryce's respect and permission to face the trainer in a gym battle, Ash makes the unlikely choice of sending out Cyndaquil, a Fire Pokémon, to face his opponent on an Ice battlefield. Fortunately, Ash's strategy pans out as he leads the gym leader to lower his defenses, allowing Ash to take the first victory in a two-on-two match. Next the gym leader sends out his trusty Piloswine, which immediately unleashes a Blizzard attack that completely alters the battlefield, allowing it to make quick work of Ash's defending Pokémon. With one victory each, the round enters sudden death with each trainer playing his oldest, most reliable Pokémon. A seasoned duo, Ash and Pikachu may match the teamwork of the gym leader and his Piloswine, but will this be enough in a slippery ice arena that is second nature to Piloswine, but whereon Pikachu struggles even to stand?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
In [[EP237|the last episode]], {{Ash}} has earned [[Pryce]]’s respect and permission to face him in a Gym battle. Pryce is grooming [[Pryce's Piloswine|his Piloswine]] when Ash and {{ashfr}} arrive. They then get ready to start their Gym battle. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} plans to steal all the {{t|Ice}} Pokémon, but keep some for themselves. The Gym battle then begins. Ash makes the smart choice of sending out {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, against Pryce's {{p|Dewgong}}, but at a disadvantage, because he will have to face his opponent on an ice battlefield. Fortunately, Ash’s strategy pans out as he leads the Gym Leader to lower his {{stat|Defense}}s, allowing Ash to take the first victory in a two-on-two match.<br />
<br />
Next, Pryce sends out his trusty {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}}. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is about to steal the Pokémon in their trusty net, but they are frozen by them with {{m|Ice Beam}}. We switch back to Piloswine, which immediately unleashes a {{m|Blizzard}} attack that completely alters the battlefield, allowing it to make quick work of Ash’s Cyndaquil. With one victory each, the round enters sudden death with each Trainer playing his oldest, most reliable Pokémon. A seasoned duo, Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} prepare to battle Pryce's Piloswine. Things start out rough when Piloswine releases a barrage of Blizzard attacks on Pikachu, who is still struggling to stand up straight on the ice. After seeing the ice pillars on the battlefield formed by Piloswine's Blizzard, Ash commands Pikachu to slide on the ice underneath Piloswine. This confuses it, as well as Pryce. Then, Pikachu ricochets off of the pillars while sliding, easily dodging the Blizzards. When Pryce tells Piloswine to use Blizzard on the whole battlefield, Pikachu slides under it, and unleashes a powerful {{m|Thunder}}.<br />
<br />
Almost out of energy, Piloswine uses {{m|Rest}}. Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}} before it heals, but he's too late, and it uses {{m|Fury Attack}} and {{m|Take Down}}. Pryce tells Ash to give in the towel, but he won't give up. The battle then continues on. Ash commands him to use Quick Attack to counter Piloswine's Fury Attack. A direct hit in the nose, Piloswine slides back. Pikachu unleashes a massive {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which does nothing to it. Piloswine uses Take Down, and Pikachu jumps on its face and uses Thunder. This causes some damage, and creates a hole in the field, putting Piloswine in the water, as Pikachu uses Thunderbolt again, causing more damage because it's all wet. Piloswine shakes it off, leaving Ash and co. surprised. It uses Fury Attack, and Pikachu can't dodge it due to it losing control. Ash commands a Thunder, which sends Pikachu flying backwards. Pikachu looks exhausted, but stands up, ready to fight. Pryce then forfeits, which gives Ash the victory under a {{tt|T.K.O.|Technical Knock Out}}. Ash isn't pleased at first, saying he didn't actually win, but once he hears how much Pryce admired his strength and that he just didn't want his Piloswine to get hurt, he gladly accepts the {{Badge|Glacier|Badge}}.<br />

* When Jessie finds out about Pryce being the gym leader, she says that Pryce wasn't right, a reference to the game show {{wp|The Price Is Right}}.<br />
* When Pikachu uses Thunderbolt while Piloswine is in the water, Brock says that because of this, Thunderbolt's power is double. Although this isn't true, this is similar to the concept of the move Soak, added in Gen V, which makes the opponent soaking wet, making it pure Water type.<br />
===Errors===<br />
* {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunder}} affects [[Pryce's Piloswine]], although it should not, as Piloswine is a {{type|Ground}}. This is an example of [[anime physics]].<br />
** Despite this, Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} does nothing to Piloswine.<br />

<i>In the midst of their travels, Ash and friends meet up with a young girl who, along with her two Igglybuff assistants, stars in her own musical variety television program. Our heroes are content to sit back and enjoy the show, but unfortunately Team Rocket has other plans in mind. Unable to steal the show, Jessie and James content themselves by stealing the young girl's Pokémon instead. As Ash and friends run to her assistance, Jigglypuff shows up, disgruntled at having been left out of the show.</i><br />

==Plot==<br />
{{Incomplete plot}}<br />
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 [[bag|backpack]]. Jigglypuff is jealous of Brittany's Igglybuff, so she bullies them when Ash and {{ashfr}} aren't looking. <br />
<br />
{{TRT}} spies on them like usual and [[Jessie]] daydreams of having her own show with the Igglybuff. Ash and friends are enjoying the show, 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 appear 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. <br />
<br />
Finally, Ash and friends get to 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.<br />

==Blurb==<br />

<i>Finally setting foot in Mahogany Town, Ash is anxious to set about winning his next badge. When he finally locates the town gym leader, Pryce, he is surprised to recognize the man, having previously exchanged differing opinions on the proper nature of relationships between Pokémon and trainer. The embittered gym leader maintains his position that Pokémon must be controlled rather than trusted, must remain servants and never friends. When a natural catastrophe sends Ash and Pryce hurtling deep into the depths of the earth—and equally deep into the recesses of this gym leader's mysterious past—the two confront the Piloswine that loyally served Pryce long ago. In this lost Pokémon Ash recognizes the seed that might bring about a change of heart in Pryce.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
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 {{ashfr}} 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. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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 {{t|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. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />

* In this episode, Team Rocket uses a {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|As Cold as Pryce motto|variation}} of their motto.<br />
* Pryce is shown meditating under a waterfall, which is what [[Chuck]] is shown doing in the [[Generation IV]] [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|games]].<br />

* Music from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' can be heard in this episode.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* During the [[Who's That Pokémon?]], the clue says "''{{tt|This Pokémon|Magneton}} is composed of three Magnemite'''s'''," which is the incorrect plural for Magnemite. The correct plural form for Magnemite, as with all Pokémon, would simply be Magnemite.<br />
* When {{TRT}} trips over a rock, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}'s foot is seen, but in the next shot, Wobbuffet isn't present.<br />
* When Pryce tells {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}} to use {{m|Rest}} and Ash asks what it is, Pryce says its an "ability that Piloswine can use" when it's actually a move.<br />

<i>As Jessie, James, and Meowth track Ash and friends, they commiserate over past failures and discuss how they are paired unfairly against these younger trainers with such a superior array of Pokémon. They no sooner decide anew to catch as many Pokémon as possible and strengthen their own forces than a Delibird shows up. After finally capturing it, they are disappointed to learn that the Pokémon already has a trainer—a Team Rocket scout, no less, who is using the Delibird to test the abilities of promising new talent. Sensing their natural aptitudes toward crime, the scout offers Jessie and James positions within Team Rocket. These two assert that they are already members, to which the scout replies by accessing their Team Rocket personnel files and proving that they have been expelled from the organization. Shocked, Jessie and James set desperately to garnering some success that will earn them reentry into their beloved Team Rocket.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
On the road to [[Mahogany Town]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are attacked by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. After a brief scuffle involving an exploding football, the Rocket Trio is sent blasting off as usual. After a painful landing, the Rockets discuss their most recent failure and try to figure out why they can never beat the "[[twerps]]". They eventually reach the conclusion that the reason lies in the fact that the twerps have a large amount of Pokémon to battle them with, while they only have five, including Meowth. In order to increase their capabilities, the Rockets decide that their first goal should be to capture more Pokémon!<br />
<br />
Their wish soon comes true when they find an apparently abandoned {{p|Delibird}}. A tape recording near the Delibird says that it was abandoned by its trainer, and is free to anybody able to catch it. Seizing their opportunity, Jessie and James battle with the Delibird. After a gruelling battle, they succeed in defeating it. However, before they can catch it, an old woman comes out of the woods and introduces herself as the Delibird's trainer. She tells them that she's a scout for {{TRT}} and by defeating Delibird in battle, they've passed her test. They're now eligible to join Team Rocket themselves!<br />
<br />
Jessie and James explain to the woman that they're already members of Team Rocket. When she refuses to believe them, they look up their names in Team Rocket's member registry. Looking through it, they find that their worst fears have finally come true - they've been disbanded from Team Rocket! The Rocket Scout explains that their membership was revoked because of their unpaid dues and the constant loans they've taken out. But, she tells them, if they prove themselves to her, she should be able to get them reinstated, and get them a hefty signing bonus as well. Their mission? To defeat a wandering band of Pokémon Trainers, who turn out to be none other then the twerps! Jessie and James tell the scout, that although Ash and his friends look weak, they're actually skilled trainers, and that with their current Pokémon they'll be unable to beat them. After thinking for a moment, the Scout agrees to let them borrow their Delibird. With a new and powerful Pokémon on their side, Team Rocket gets ready to attack, sure of their coming victory.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile {{an|Giovanni}}, the leader of Team Rocket receives a phone call from {{an|Wendy}}, a member of Team Rocket's H.R. department. Wendy tells him that Jessie and James are trying to get their membership back, and suggests that he refuse to let them rejoin. Giovanni tells her that he has no problem letting them rejoin, so long as they pay Team Rocket the money they owe. With that said he hangs up on Wendy, leaving her to fume back at her desk. In a flashback we see that Wendy has a long standing grudge against Jessie, from an incident where she left her with a bill for a fruit smoothie. Angry that she couldn't get Jessie kicked out of the Team for good Wendy swears that she'll eventually get her revenge.<br />
<br />
Back in [[Johto]] Ash and his friends are met on the road by a pair of wandering Samurai. They quickly reveal themselves to be Jessie and James in disguise, and challenge the twerps to a battle. Expecting them to use their normal Pokémon Ash calls out his {{AP|Phanpy}}. To his surprise Team Rocket bring out Delibird, who easily defeats Phanpy with its {{m|Blizzard}} attack. Using its {{m|Present}} ability, Delibird hits Ash and friends with a surprise attack. Angered Ash calls out Pikachu, but finds that Delibird's Present is too much for Pikachu to handle. Ash tries to retreat, but no matter where him or his friends go Delibird is always there with another explosive present. Delighted at their success Jessie and James order Delibird to finish the twerps off, but to their surprise the next present restores Pikachu to full health. Taking control of the fight Ash orders Pikachu to attack, and Team Rocket finds itself "blasting off again".<br />
<br />
After landing, Jessie and James are met again by the Rocket Scout, who reclaims her Delibird. She tells them that even though they lost the fight, Team Rocket is suffering a severe labor shortage (due to most of its members getting arrested) and that she's still going to register them again. The pair eagerly wait for their signing bonus, but find themselves hit with a bill instead, their bonus having helped pay all of the money they owe. At the bottom of the list is a surprise, a bill for a fruit smoothie courtesy of Wendy. The Scout tells them that every month Delibird will come to collect some of the money they owe, and that they should resume their work as Rockets.<br />
<br />
Despite all of their bills, Jessie, James, and Meowth take a moment to celebrate. Their cheers are so loud that even Ash and his friends hear it on the nearby road.<br />

* Jessie briefly talks about two other criminal teams "Team Jet" and "Team Helicopter" in this episode. However they're likely just teams she made up as a joke, as they have never been mentioned again.<br />
* The English dub title of this episode is a pun of the phrase ''"{{tt|Do's|Dues}} and Don'ts."''<br />
* It's implied in this episode that Meowth, like Pikachu, was put in a Poké Ball, but prefers to stay outside of it.<br />
**However, this is eventually proven to be false in ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]''.<br />
* In this episode, Team Rocket uses a [[Team Rocket's mottos#Dues and Don'ts motto|variation]] of their motto.<br />
** In the dub, when Team Rocket recites this football-themed variation of their motto, Jessie makes a reference to an "eighth-round pick", presumably a draft pick. The last time the {{wp|NFL Draft}} held an eighth round was on April 26, 1993, almost ten years prior to this episode's initial dubbed airing.<br />
**Interestingly, the dub's initial airing was the day before the {{wp|Super Bowl XXXVII|Super Bowl}} aired in 2003.<br />
* This is the only original series episode which includes Team Rocket's name in its title. Due to this, it is also the only one that names it using hiragana for "dan" (だん) instead of the kanji (団).<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* When Dexter tells about Delibird's exploding gifts, the light on the top of Pokédex is red instead of blue.<br />

<i>Our hero is at the end of a tough battle with Harrison at the Johto League Silver Conference. The winner of this battle will go on to the semi-finals. Each trainer has battled hard and is down to their last Pokémon. Ash is using Charizard. Harrison is also using a high level fire type called Blaziken. Charizard flies up with Blaziken and is in position for a powerful Seismic Toss. After the impact, however, both Pokémon are standing! As Charizard tossed Blaziken down, Blaziken had directed a Flame Thrower attack towards the ground to propel it back up, softening the blow of the impact! Both Pokémon battle well, and it seems like neither will give in, but, in the end, Charizard faints. Harrison continues on into the semi-finals, but is defeated in the next round. After his battle, he tells Ash all about Hoenn and the amazing Pokémon there. As the Silver Conference comes to a close and the gang prepares to leave for Vermillion City, Gary makes a surprising announcement—he's giving up battling. He's decided to become a Pokémon Researcher.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
That night, Harrison stayed alone in the nearby river, but Ash and {{ashfr}} 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.<br />
<br />
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 Ash 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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Next morning, the [[Silver Conference]] comes to an end; with [[Jon Dickson]] becoming the Champion of the Johto League Silver Conference.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The episode ends with everyone heading separate ways.<br />

<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-5/episode-52-05_52-youre-a-star-larvitar/--><br />
<i>Ash and friends report back to Professor Elm as they reach the base of Mount Silver, where they hope to return their Larvitar to its birthplace. On their way up the mountain, Ash faces a young trainer in Pokémon battle, pitting his Cyndaquil against the trainer's Magby. This Magby—the pre-evolved form of Magmar—is much stronger that Ash unexpected, and Ash suffers a defeat. Ash makes it up in a subsequent battle, when his Cyndaquil defeats a Quilava—the evolved form of Cyndaquil. Following a few steps behind, Jessie and James note all of the trainers and their rare and valuable Pokémon preparing to battle in the Johto Championship to be held on this mountain. Setting aside their usual plans for capturing Pikachu—and their usual hot-air mode of transport—they capture Larvitar and as many other Pokémon as they can muster and drive off with them in a specially made truck. Only Ash and friends stand a chance of rescuing the Pokémon they hold dear.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are nearing [[Mt. Silver]] and the [[Silver Conference]], they stop at a [[Pokémon Center]] to rest; the group decides to call [[Professor Elm]]. The Professor admires how well {{AP|Larvitar}} is developing, making a point of its gain in self-confidence. Elm gives Ash instructions as to what to do when the group reaches the top of the mountain, right before ending the call. Just then, a {{pkmn|Trainer}} approaches them and makes the assumption that the group is on their way to the Silver Conference. The boy wastes no time in challenging Ash to a {{pkmn|battle}}.<br />
<br />
Just outside of the Center, the boy introduces himself as [[Satchel]]. The boys take their places at opposite ends of a battle field. Satchel sends out his {{p|Magby}}, prompting Ash to consult his [[Pokédex]]. Having learned that Magby is a {{type|Fire}}, Ash decides to send out {{AP|Cyndaquil}}. {{an|Misty}} is surprised by his choice in {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, wondering why Ash didn't choose his {{AP|Totodile}} to battle Magby. On the other hand, Satchel commends Ash in his "fighting Fire with Fire" strategy. <br />
<br />
{{an|Brock}}, acting as [[Battle judge|referee]], signals the start of the battle. Cyndaquil dodges Magby's {{m|Flamethrower}}, and counters with a {{m|Quick Attack}}; Satchel is impressed. Ash tells Cyndaquil to use a {{m|Swift}} attack, and then its own Flamethrower. Satchel orders Magby to use its Flamethrower once more and the two Pokémon's attacks meet, resulting in an ascending cascade of fire. Magby's [[Move|attack]] eventually prevails, but Cyndaquil manages to jump out of the way before it is damaged. Ash has his Pokémon use {{m|Tackle}}, and Satchel responds by ordering Magby to use {{m|Double Team}}. Cyndaquil stops in its tracks as Magby's copies surround it, and begin running in a circle. Taking a chance, Ash orders Cyndaquil to go after one of the Magby; Cyndaquil attacks a fake, and Magby's attack is disrupted. Appearing from behind Cyndaquil, Magby is told to use its {{m|DynamicPunch}}. The attack strikes Cyndaquil dead-center; Cyndaquil is unable to battle, and Satchel is declared the victor.<br />
<br />
After the battle, Ash decides that his Cyndaquil is in need of a long rest. Satchel approaches Ash and commends him on his training of Cyndaquil, its speed, and the battling as a whole. Ash shows similar praise for Magby, and its range of attacks. Although happy, Satchel expresses his goal to get his Magby to [[Evolution|evolve]] into a {{p|Magmar}}. A fellow Trainer on his way to the Silver Conference, Satchel states that, as a Magby, his Pokémon won't be strong enough to compete against the stronger Pokémon that they will surely face. This is explained by Brock the reason why Satchel is trying to battle as much as possible. Satchel feels sure that the battle that Ash and he just had will aid a lot on Magby's way to evolution. <br />
<br />
A little while later, Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Cyndaquil are seen poolside, Cyndaquil recuperating from its battle. Ash seems worried about the upcoming Silver Conference. While he knows that Cyndaquil has "awesome" strengths, he divulges the same worry that Satchel had earlier regarding his unevolved Pokémon. All of a sudden, Ash spots an unknown Trainer with his {{p|Quilava}}, the evolved form of Cyndaquil. Seeing this, Ash conjures the determination from within him to get his Pokémon to evolve. Returning to the group, Ash announces that it's time for some "special training", and herds all of his Pokémon and head to a field. All of Ash's Pokémon are paired with a training partner to battle with: {{AP|Noctowl}} with Pikachu, Totodile with Cyndaquil, and {{AP|Phanpy}} with {{AP|Bayleef}}.<br />
<br />
Off in the distance, {{TRT}} can be seen from behind some bushes in a wooded area. [[Jessie]] spots multiple Trainers, most with evolved Pokémon, training in the field. Jessie, [[James]], and {{MTR}} decide then that they are going to steal all of the Pokémon belonging to the training Pokémon Trainers, along with Pikachu. <br />
<br />
Brock and Misty, having been distracted by Ash's training, notice that Larvitar has wandered off. Having made its way to the field in which the other Trainers are training, Larvitar is startled by a {{p|Voltorb}}; the Trainers take notice of the seemingly [[Rarity|rare]] Pokémon. Brock and Misty come to Larvitar's rescue just before any of the Trainers decide they want to make a newly [[caught Pokémon]] out of it. Just then, a sudden gust of wind drag all of the Pokémon through the field. Ash soon takes notice of the ordeal, and runs to save Larvitar. He is, however, soon swept up by the wind as well; Bayleef grabs onto Ash with its {{m|Vine Whip}}. Just as Ash is pondering what could be causing the wind, Team Rocket appear in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]] and recite a variation of their {{motto}}. It is revealed that a mecha attached to the balloon is being used to suck all of the Trainers' Pokémon up, including Satchel's Magby; Ash's Pokémon are left on the ground. Ash orders Cyndaquil to use its Flamethrower on Team Rocket, but Meowth has it sucked into the machine before it gets a chance to attack; Ash is also sucked up, Larvitar in hand, but gets stuck. Larvitar manages to land on top of the machine without getting sucked inside. Heading off into the distance, Team Rocket, Ash, and all of the Pokémon, are followed on foot by Brock, Misty, Satchel, and Ash's other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket is seen beside a cabin lowering the Pokémon into a truck. It appears as if Jessie has tied Ash up, and left him within the cabin. Outside, Team Rocket is admiring the load of Pokémon they have stolen. They express their pride in their plan of using a truck to haul the Pokémon away, thinking no one would ever catch them. Moving to the front of the truck, Larvitar approaches the vehicle and {{m|Bite|bites}} down on the rear tire. To the surprise of Team Rocket, the truck leans drastically; Larvitar quickly {{m|Dig|digs}} underground. Ash, wondering what's going on outside the cabin, is surprised to see Larvitar appear from beneath the floorboards. Using its Bite, Larvitar frees Ash from his rope constraints. Ash is both very happy to have been saved by Larvitar, and angry that it would put itself in so much danger. Just then, Brock, Misty, and Satchel are shown to not have found anything; their hopes now lie in Noctowl's wings.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket is flabbergasted as to why the tire was flattened; Jessie promptly tells James and Meowth to fix it. Sneaking up from behind the cabin, Ash tells Larvitar to have Cyndaquil and Magby use Flamethrower to melt the glass blocking their escape from the machine. Larvitar agrees and digs underground, moving towards the vehicle until just behind it. The Pokémon jumps up into the truck, and conveys Ash's message to the Fire types. Magby and Cyndaquil begin their attempt at escape. Having finished changing the tire, Team Rocket load back into the front of the truck and are ready to leave. To prevent this, Larvitar bites down on the exact tire that had just been changed, inhibiting their vehicle once again. As Jessie "supervises" the changing of tires once again, Noctowl spots from above the site at which Team Rocket are preparing to take off with the Pokémon. Alerted by the {{type|Flying}}, Brock, Misty, and Satchel head on their way to save Ash and the stolen Pokémon from Team Rocket.<br />
<br />
With help on the way, the Fire Pokémon duo of Cyndaquil and Magby have melted a hole in their cage; the stolen Pokémon (Cyndaquil, Magby, a {{p|Furret}}, Voltorb, a {{p|Quagsire}}, a {{p|Machoke}}, and a {{p|Scizor}}) escape. Having heard the commotion in the back of the truck, Team Rocket goes to investigate. Ash tells Larvitar from behind the cabin that the Pokémon have to hide. To Team Rocket's surprise, there is a hole in their machine and all of the Pokémon are nowhere to be found. As Jessie inspects the machine, Cyndaquil and Magby pop out and greet her with a Flamethrower attack in her face. Ash runs out from behind the cabin and orders the Pokémon to flee from the truck. With all of the stolen Pokémon on his side, Ash tells Team Rocket that he is leaving and taking all of the Pokémon with him. Jessie doesn't like this and sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}; James then proceeds to send out his {{TP|James|Weezing}}. Arbok's Bite attack, and Weezing's Tackle attack, are then ordered by their Trainers. All of a sudden, Noctowl swoops down and strikes the two {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, Brock, Misty, Satchel, and the rest of Ash's Pokémon in tow. A {{m|Poison Sting}} attack from Arbok, as well as a {{m|Sludge}} attack from Weezing, is successfully countered by a Flamethrower from Magby. Ash then orders Phanpy to Tackle Arbok and Weezing into Team Rocket, and then Totodile uses its {{m|Water Gun}} on the group. Jessie retaliates by swinging Arbok by its tail, essentially using a "fling attack". Satchel orders his Magby to use DynamicPunch and hits Arbok away. Reeling from its successful attack, Magby begins to evolve; everyone is shocked. Unwilling to give up, Team Rocket sends their Pokémon to attack once more. Arbok's {{m|Take Down}} is no match for Magmar's Flamethrower, a Flamethrower stronger than any other seen before. Ash orders Cyndaquil to "finish them off" with its own Flamethrower, causing an explosion that blasts Team Rocket off into the distance.<br />
<br />
All of the stolen Pokémon are reunited with their owners.<br />
<br />
As Ash and company are readying to head off, the group and Satchel part ways. Misty proclaims that Ash has found a new [[rival]] in Satchel. Despite Brock's claims of struggle Ash will probably face in the Silver Conference if facing Satchel, Ash shows confidence that he can beat anyone that comes his way. Ash has realized that even though his Pokémon haven't evolved, they have the power and heart to win if he uses their power in the right ways. The group head on their way to the peaks of Mt. Silver.<br />

* One of the trainers strongly resembles to the Hiker Ash previously fought in Season 1 ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''. He has a Machoke this time.<br />
* According to [[Pokémon.com]], this is the last episode of [[Pokémon: Master Quest]].<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />

* When Arbok and Weezing are blasted by Flamethrower and Meowth says "Mama", his whiskers are missing.<br />
* [[Professor Elm]] refers to [[Ranger Mason]] as a male, despite the fact the character is later revealed to be female.<br />
* When Jessie points over to the Pokémon pasture, Meowth states that there are a lot of evolved Pokemon there. However, a Voltorb was there which is not an evolved Pokémon.<br />

<i>As Ash and friends continue their travels with Larvitar, it remains wary of all other Pokémon and people, particularly of Misty. They stop briefly at a Hot Springs, and there meet a young trainer who reports that he is there searching for an Entei. Jessie and James disguise themselves as snow cone salespeople and trap Ash and friends, but using their Pokémon these trainers are quick to escape. Ash than challenges the Entei-seeking trainer to a battle in hopes of learning more about the secret attack that this trainer claims his Misdreavus will use to defeat Entei. This secret weapon turns out to be Mean Look, an attack that prevents one's opponent from leaving a battle. Moments after this battle, the enthusiastic young trainer runs off toward a sensor that is detecting the presence of Entei. Ash and friends follow, soon after witnessing a battle between this trainer and Entei. The battle doesn't go exactly as this trainer had planned, but leaves him nonetheless with a renewed respect for Entei.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
The gang is on their way to [[Mt. Silver]], with [[Ash's Larvitar]] napping peacefully in his bag. It wakes up, but {{m|Harden}}s in fear when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} talk to it. {{Ash}} snuggles Larvitar, promising to protect it from scary Trainers like Misty, which leads to criticisms from Brock that Ash is babying it. Misty tells him that he needs to see how it has improved around other Pokémon. At that moment, a very angry wild {{p|Ursaring}} comes out of the scrub and chases the gang away, firing {{m|Hyper Beam}}s.<br />
<br />
Having lost the Ursaring, the gang stop to catch their breath. Larvitar then wanders over and discovers a hot spring. Brock notices a variety of wild Pokémon sitting serenely in the hot water. Ash walks forward to test the water, but sets off an alarm by breaking a trip wire with his foot. A boy walks out from the growth, calling a challenge to {{p|Entei}}, only to discover the trio. He explains that he has studied all of the recent Entei sightings and determined that it is next due to appear at the springs. He introduces himself as [[Nelson]].<br />
<br />
Just then, the Ursaring comes bursting from the scrub, roaring. However, it doesn't pay attention to the group, instead diving into the springs, emerging with a roar of pleasure. Nelson explains that the springs have relaxation and even healing powers on Pokémon. After Nelson leaves to check other sites, Ash releases his Pokémon to enjoy the springs. {{AP|Totodile}} goes jogging towards the spring eagerly, but lands on his face when Ash calls for him to wait. Ash introduces his team to Larvitar, who quickly hides shyly. Totodile happily jogs up and seizes Larvitar by the hand and spins it around joyfully. It crashes into {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, causing both to freeze in fear. It also does not respond well to {{AP|Bayleef}}'s cradling or lullaby, and is severely intimidated by {{AP|Noctowl}}. Despite Ash's assurance that the group are his and therefore Larvitar's friends, Larvitar bursts into earsplitting {{m|Screech|tears}}.<br />
<br />
Later on, Larvitar has recovered and appears encouraged by Ash, Misty and Brock's Pokémon (save for his {{type|Rock}} {{TP|Brock|Onix}} and {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}) enjoying the springs. However, it flinches away when {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} flails around in an attempt to swim and gets splashed. Misty attempts to get Psyduck into the springs, but it ends up trapped in hot sand. Brock discovers that it is pleasantly warm, and sends out his Onix and Geodude to enjoy it with Psyduck; Onix promptly buries Psyduck in sand as it makes a bed for itself. Geodude lands behind Larvitar, and shoves the young Rock type head first into the sand. However, Larvitar enjoys the sand and Ash notes that it's finally beginning to enjoy itself. Cyndaquil and Totodile start a sand ball fight, but when {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} hits Larvitar, it does not take it with Totodile's humor and promptly begins to cry again.<br />
<br />
Watching close by are [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}, with the latter two noting that the last thing they want in {{TRT}} is another screamer. However, they plot to steal Larvitar anyway, with Meowth hatching his "At the Bath Fruit Smoothie Plan". Jessie and James pull up in a large truck and recite their {{motto}}, before offering the gang free taste test smoothies. Whilst Misty and Brock are suspicious, Ash waves away their suspicions and takes Larvitar, Pikachu and his other Pokémon into the back of the truck. Suddenly the ramp retracts and the door slam shut. Team Rocket speed away, gloating to Misty and Brock.<br />
<br />
In the back, Jessie and James slide back a panel and taunt Ash, causing him to realize the deception and plan to break out. However, despite all of his Pokémon's efforts, not even Bayleef makes an impression on the doors. Pikachu then attempts a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, succeeding only in shocking everyone in the back whilst Jessie and James gleefully proclaim that electric attacks are useless in their anti-electrified truck. Cyndaquil and Bayleef continue their attack, succeeding only in making the metal glow. Ash then remembers the hot-cold technique that his Noctowl had taught him, and orders his two starters to alternate attacks until Bayleef's {{m|Razor Leaf}} cleaves straight through the metal. Noctowl then grabs {{AP|Phanpy}} and Cyndaquil and flies out, whilst Ash and the others cling to Bayleef, whose vines seize a nearby branch and Ash's group are yanked to safety, with the exception of Larvitar, who Ash drops in midair. It is then caught by a {{p|Misdreavus}}, who returns it to the group. Nelson then runs up, revealing the Misdreavus to be his. Misty and Brock come running to catch up, and they meet Misdreavus, Misty exclaiming it to be pretty. Nelson then challenges Ash to a battle, promising to show off his Pokémon's special move that he claims will help him catch Entei. Team Rocket discover with horror that Ash has escaped.<br />
<br />
Brock referees a two on two {{pkmn|battle}}, and Ash's Phanpy volunteers to fight first. Phanpy's {{m|Take Down}} overcomes Misdreavus' {{m|Headbutt}}, and Misdreavus' {{m|Swift}} is blocked by {{m|Defense Curl}}. However, Phanpy's attempt to {{m|Rollout}} dodge {{m|Psybeam}} fails and the attack scores a direct hit, confusing Phanpy. Nelson then reveals his secret attack, {{m|Mean Look}}, which Ash notes doesn't seem to have done anything. On Misty's advice, Ash recalls Phanpy, but the Poké Ball does not recall Phanpy. Nelson explains that Mean Look prevents substitutions in battle, or fleeing in [[wild Pokémon]], and that he plans to use it to capture Entei. <br />
<br />
Suddenly, Team Rocket arrives again and swipes Misdreavus in a net. After reciting the motto, they unleash a huge vacuum to suck up all of the water and wild Pokémon in the hot spring. Whilst Brock's Onix shelters the Trainer's Pokémon, and [[Misty's Staryu]] escapes the water in time, Brock's {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} is not quick enough and is sucked up in the vacuum. In despair, Brock leaps into the typhoon of water after his Pokémon, managing to catch Pineco until the Ursaring crashes into him and knocks him away. Pineco is upset by this, and [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Forretress}}, the evolution inducing an explosion of energy that breaks the typhoon, causing Brock, Forretress and the wild Pokémon to land in the water. Bayleef then uses Razor Leaf to break Misdreavus free, allowing it to return to Nelson. In fury, Meowth unleashes the machine at full power, causing the water to shoot up at a tremendous pace and trap Team Rocket in a huge typhoon. <br />
<br />
On the outside, Ash and his friends attack the tornado with all of their Pokémon. The wild Pokémon join in with Hyper Beams from Ursaring and Houndoom, {{m|Flamethrower}}s from Houndour and Swifts from Aipom. However, these attacks inflict nothing on the tornado. Suddenly, Nelson's sensors activate, and a colossal Flamethrower comes from the mountains, stopping the typhoon and sending Team Rocket flying. The trio land in front of Entei, who is not sympathetic and unleashes another Flamethrower to send the trio blasting off.<br />
<br />
Nelson leads the way to Entei's position, challenging it to a battle. He has Misdreavus use Mean Look to lock Entei's position, and then unleashes Swift and Psybeam. Entei shakes off both attacks and as Misdreavus goes in for a Headbutt, it unleashes a {{m|Roar}}, sending Misdreavus back into its ball and allowing to [[escape]], unhindered by the effects of Mean Look. Nelson sinks to the ground, not having expected such a rebutting tactic. However, he claims that his desire has only increased and that he is determined that he will capture it one day. The trio then leave Nelson and continue to Mount Silver, with Larvitar having grown accustomed to the company of others (with the exception of Misty).<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:EP259 Error.png|thumb|200px|right|The error with Brock leaning on something]]<br />
* The dub title is derived from the warning phrase "enter at your own risk".<br />
* When Team Rocket make off with the dairy truck, Ash, and his Pokémon, Meowth says, "We blinded 'em with science!", a reference to the song {{wp|She Blinded Me with Science}} by {{wp|Thomas Dolby}}.<br />
* This marks the first time a main character's Pokémon has evolved in the same episode a [[legendary Pokémon]] has appeared. Only [[DP104|one other episode]] also does this.<br />
* In this episode, Team Rocket uses {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Entei at Your Own Risk mottos|two variations}} of their motto.<br />
* This is the first episode to use music from ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''. However, the background music is replaced in the dub.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* {{AP|Phanpy}}'s {{m|Take Down}}, being a {{type|Normal}} move, shouldn't have had any effect on Misdreavus, a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, as it did during the battle.<br />
* When they have escaped Ursaring's Hyper Beams and rest, Brock is leaning on something that doesn't exist.<br />
* At the end of the scene where {{AP|Larvitar}} is using Screech on Ash's party, it clips out for a second. <br />
* When Pikachu used Thunderbolt on Team Rocket's truck, Ash and his Pokémon were being electrocuted. {{AP|Phanpy}} and {{AP|Larvitar}} were also affected despite both of them being {{t|Ground}} types.<br />
* Ash appears to be surprised by Mean Look's effect, even though Morty used it in his gym battle.<br />

<i>On the road back to New Bark Town, Ash and friends stop for a rest near the ocean. There they spot a sign advertising a synchronized Pokémon swimming event. They run toward the area where the event is being held, arriving just as it begins. Close behind is Team Rocket, who quickly hatch a plan to steal all of the Pokémon from the swimming show. After the first show, Misty, Ash, and Brock chance to meet the trainer in charge of this event. A rivalry quickly develops between Misty and this Water Pokémon trainer. Before these two trainers have a chance to battle however, Ash steps in and challenges her to a battle in one of her underwater arenas. Due in part perhaps to this trainer's home-court advantage Ash quickly loses. Misty then steps in and challenges the trainer to a three on three Pokémon battle. Misty is hard-pressed to defeat such an experienced trainer on her own field, but will her intimate knowledge of water Pokémon guide her to victory?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{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.<br />
<br />
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. Ash and {{ashfr}} 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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Above water, Ash sends {{AP|Noctowl}} out to try to 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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* This episode was the last to air before the Japanese debut of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''.<br />
* 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.<br />
** It also marks the first and so far, only time {{ashfr|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.<br />
[[File:EP256 error.png|thumb|right|200px|Goldeen's "Lure Ball"]]<br />
* In this episode, Team Rocket uses a {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Just Add Water motto|variation}} of their motto.<br />
* 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.<br />
* This episode first aired in the United States exactly one year and one day after its Japanese airing.<br />
* When {{p|Lanturn}} uses {{m|Spark}}, {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and [[Dorian]] are unaffected, even though water conducts electricity. This is an example of [[anime physics]].<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* When Misty throws her Poké Balls to let out her Pokémon, only three Balls are seen and five Pokémon came out.<br />
* After Misty says "That was great Goldeen, take a long rest", Goldeen's Poké Ball turns into a {{ball|Lure}} for a split second. The next Pokémon she uses is Corsola.<br />
* 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.<br />

<i>Having defeated Clair and earned his eighth gym badge, Ash must now set out for the Johto League championship, which he learns is to be held on Mt Silver in three months time. As Ash heads toward New Bark Town, where he will register for entry in this competition, he is stopped by two reporters who ask for a shot of the trainer making his triumphant return. The reporters turn out to be none other than Jessie and James of Team Rocket. They trick Ash out of all eight of his badges, but the plan backfires when a passing Wynaut steals the badges from Wobbuffet. Remembering each of the eight victories that earned him these badges, Ash sets out after Team Rocket, determined to get back what is rightfully his.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{Incomplete plot}}<br />
{{Ash}} plans to go to [[New Bark Town]] to register for the Johto [[Silver Conference]] now that he has all eight [[Badge]]s even though the Silver Conference is in three months. {{TRT}} has plans of their own, they decide to steal Ash’s Badges for their own purposes. {{MTR}} and [[James]] want to sell the badges, while [[Jessie]] wants to enter the Silver Conference using them. 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.<br />
<br />
James believes that a Wynaut drawing by Wobbuffet was his childhood nanny, but after Wobbuffet states that the thief was blue, Team Rocket believes a {{p|Wooper}} stole the Badges, and 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 {{TP|Clair|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.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* On [[Pokémon.com]], the episode is called ''Why? Wynaut'' instead of ''Why? Why Not!'', the title shown on the title card.<br />
** Some dubs, like Iberian Spanish, use translations of the second title whereas others, like Latin American Spanish, use the first.<br />
* 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.<br />
* 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 ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'' when Meowth was cheering for Pikachu and Ash, the second time was in ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'' when Jessie was talking about how the crowd was cheering for Ash, and the third time was in ''[[EP245|Will the Real Oak Please Stand Up]]'' when she addresses {{an|Brock}} as "Brock".<br />
** They were in disguise during the first, third and fourth incidents. <br />
* This is the only episode where a Pokémon from a future Generation is used in ''Dare da?''.<br />
* Music from ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]'' can be heard during Wobbuffet's fantasy.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
<!--Contrary to what some believe, the Rising Badge is not missing from the title card. It may only appear that way to some due to how the Rising Badge appears. Comparison of this episode's title card to the previous episode's will clearly show a difference in the Rising Badge's slot--the slot was pure black in the prior episode and has lightened on this episode's card.--><br />
* When remembering his Badges, Ash says he received the {{Badge|Glacier}} twice. The first one was actually the {{Badge|Zephyr}}.<br />
* Meowth was holding the leaf that had Ash's Badges in it, then it shows Meowth holding nothing, and then holding the leaf again.<br />
* 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 it's highly possible he was referring to how she is the Gym Leader at Goldenrod.<br />
* In the recap of the previous episode, the Seismic Toss animation is flawed.<br />

<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-8/episode-40-08_40-the-right-place-and-the-right-mime/--><br />
<i>Ash has returned to Pallet Town to find a reunion of friends! May stops by Ash's house but Ash has left for Professor Oak's lab, where Max, Misty, and Tracey are getting to know a trio of Kanto starter Pokémon. Max upsets the Squirtle, which goes running to May just as she arrives with Ash's mother. May wants to know what Max is doing there when he should be at home—it seems he's a guest of Professor Birch, who enters with Professor Oak and Ash in tow.<br />
<br />
As everyone takes this opportunity to discuss their plans for the future and meet Ash's other Pokémon, Team Rocket shows up to ruin the fun with their new Sucker for Punishment, a giant vacuuming robot! Ash calls on his old pal Snorlax to knock Team Rocket down a notch, and with the help of May, Misty, Tracey, Team Rocket's plan to nab Pikachu is foiled once again.<br />
<br />
With that excitement over, Ash prepares to depart for the Battle Factory. Glalie and Torkoal will stay behind, but Phanpy wants to tag along for the trip. As for May, her Beautifly and Skitty are living the good life at home, but her new friend Squirtle makes a perfect addition to her team. Misty will travel with her friends on her way home too, and they just can't leave without Brock, who catches up to them as they're leaving Pallet Town! Together again, our intrepid group of Trainers sets off in search of another adventure.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
The episode begins peacefully back in [[Pallet Town]], where {{Ash}} has returned once again after his tough {{pkmn|battle}}s in [[Hoenn]]. In Ash's house we find [[Mimey]], {{Delia}}'s {{p|Mr. Mime}} sweeping while Delia herself ponders her son's return as she washes the dishes and decides what she will cook for dinner that evening. A ring at the doorbell snaps her from her thinking, and Mimey answers the door to find {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}}, {{TP|May|Combusken}} and {{TP|May|Munchlax}} smiling happily. Mimey is shocked to find three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on their doorstep, and Delia comes out of the kitchen wondering who it could possibly be. Just as she does so, {{an|May}} pops her head around the door and greets her.<br />
<br />
Over at {{an|Professor Oak|Oak}}'s {{TP|Professor Oak|Laboratory}}, {{an|Misty}}, [[Max]] and {{Tracey}} are examining the three [[starter Pokémon]] ({{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}) which will be soon handed out to a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] so he or she can begin their journey. Max comments that they are cute, and attempts to stroke the young Squirtle, causing the Pokémon to start crying in fear. Max apologizes, and the Squirtle pouts and goes back to eating its food. Meanwhile, Tracey has been busy drawing a picture of the three Pokémon, which Max is very impressed by. Tracey tells him how {{an|Professor Oak|Oak}} also sketched Pokémon in his youth. Max then goes on to say how Tracey must be a great [[Pokémon watcher]] to be Professor Oak's assistant, and wonders what it would be like to watch Pokémon and sketch them like Tracey does. All this talking has apparently bored and tired out the three young Pokémon, and Misty suggests that they should take a rest in their [[Poké Ball]]s, and Tracey agrees. Just as he is about to take the Poké Balls to do so, Max asks if he can be the one to call them back to their Balls. Tracey doesn't see why not, and Max proceeds to call Bulbasaur and Charmander back into their Balls. However, the young Squirtle suddenly becomes frightened by the disappearance of his friends. When Max tries to call it back too, it runs off crying. After being chased by Max around the lab, the crying Squirtle jumps into the arms of May who has just come up the stairs to meet them, along with Delia. Max is shocked to see his sister, who scolds him and says that he needs to be gentler with Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Just then Ash, Professor Oak and [[Professor Birch]] appear and Birch greets May. May is confused as to why Professor Birch is here, and Max explains that the Professor brought him here. May apologizes if her brother has caused him any trouble, but Birch relies that it was his pleasure... before [[Ash's Muk]] shows up and gives him a slimy hug. Ash tells Muk to get off of Professor Birch, but Muk shakes its head; it's having too much fun. Professor Oak smiles, knowing all too well what Birch is going through.<br />
<br />
Downstairs, the group is enjoying some afternoon tea as May asks Ash about the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. Ash explains that it is a challenge that is set across [[Kanto]], with several different [[Frontier Brain]]s to battle against, each one giving over a [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]] if you beat them, much like [[Badge]]s. May says that is sounds amazing, and Ash becomes excited at the challenges ahead. Delia mentions that there are [[Contest Hall]]s in Kanto too, and May becomes excited at the prospect of any set of {{pkmn|Contest}}s to try. Ash asks if May wants to come along with him, and she agrees. However, Ash mentions that they will be leaving tomorrow, which shocks Delia at first before she remembers that her son has always been like this, coming back from one adventure and then leaving on another.<br />
<br />
Outside Oak's Lab, {{TRT}} are skulking about in the bushes, planning on breaking into Oak's lab to steal the Pokémon inside, along with {{AP|Pikachu}}.<br />
<br />
Back inside the lab, Oak asks Delia if she's worried about Ash leaving again on another journey so soon after coming back. She isn't, however, as she knows that that is what he must do as a Trainer and that she'll do whatever she can to support him when he comes back home.<br />
<br />
In Oak's fields, Ash, May and Max decide to go meet and greet the rest of {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} from his previous adventures. May and Max are amazed when they see [[Ash's Snorlax]], who then wakes up and waves at its Trainer happily. Suddenly May remembers her Pokémon, and calls them out to say hello to Snorlax. Ash asks where {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and {{TP|May|Skitty}} are, and May tells him that she left them in [[Petalburg City]]. Beautifly is with [[Caroline|her mother]] (who is likely reminded of her honeymoon with [[Norman]], and so quite taken with Beautifly), while Skitty settled into Norman's greenhouse and was more than happy just to stay there. The conversation is cut short, however, as the group hear a loud rumbling sound behind them, which turns out to be Ash's Pokémon running up to greet their Trainer after a long time of not seeing him. Stampeding towards them are the various {{AP|Tauros}}, along with {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Totodile}}, {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, {{AP|Bayleef}}, {{AP|Heracross}}, {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Kingler}} and {{AP|Phanpy}}. The Tauros don't stop however, and are so pleased to see Ash that he is swept away by the stampede on one of the Tauros' back. Bayleef looks distraught at this, while Pikachu greets Phanpy with some electric shocks and the two Bulbasaur shake vines. Bayleef runs after Ash, who is still on the back of one of his Tauros, but cannot catch up to them until Tracey and Misty appear and Tracey uses his {{TP|Tracey|Marill}}'s {{m|Water Gun}} to push them back, allowing Bayleef to save Ash with her {{m|Vine Whip}}.<br />
<br />
Ash thanks Bayleef while the {{type|Grass}} Pokémon snuggles up to him. Misty and Tracey then run up with the three starter Pokémon, and Misty asks Ash if he is all right. Ash says that he is, but is also a little surprised at how strong his Tauros are. Misty tells him that Pokémon take after their Trainers, and teases him about knowing a "certain Trainer" that has been running wild.<br />
<br />
Max and May come running with the rest of Ash's Pokémon, and Squirtle once again jumps into May's arms. Tracey suggests that Ash should introduce his new Pokémon to his old ones. After he calls them all out, Max is amazed at how many Pokémon Ash has. {{AP|Corphish}} and Kingler shake claws, while Totodile dances with {{AP|Glalie}}, Cyndaquil greets {{AP|Torkoal}}, Noctowl greets {{AP|Swellow}} and Pikachu plays with Phanpy. {{AP|Grovyle}} and Heracross also shake hands.<br />
<br />
As the group talks amongst themselves, [[Jessie]], [[James]], {{MTR}} and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} emerge from the bushes in which they were hiding, posing as presenters from "Pokémon Sunday" with Wobbuffet acting as cameraman. Jessie says that they are here to interview Ash after his amazing performance in the [[Hoenn League]], and Ash blushes. Just as Wobbuffet is about to scream its name, James leaps over and covers its mouth and Meowth nervously suggests that they get a shot of everybody and their Pokémon. Max becomes excited at the thought of being on television, while May checks her hair and Misty blushes at the thought of being on television.<br />
<br />
As the group and their Pokémon all line up, James asks them if they wouldn't mind stepping back to get into shot. The group does so, but end up falling into one of Team Rocket's pitfalls! Noctowl and Swellow try to fly up, but Team Rocket cover the hole with a net, preventing them from escaping. Ash orders Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the attack does nothing against the shock-proof net. Misty wonders what is going on, prompting Team Rocket to recite their new {{motto}}. When they finish, Misty asks why they are still following them around even after all this time. Jessie gets angry that they didn't acknowledge Team Rocket's new motto, but before she can do anything, Ash orders Grovyle to slice through the net covering the hole with its {{m|Leaf Blade}}. Grovyle does so, and Noctowl and Swellow fly out.<br />
<br />
Jessie, frustrated that they were able to escape, angrily asks Meowth why they were able to get out of the net. Meowth meekly explains that he thought that a Pikachu-proof net would be enough, not factoring in the other Pokémon. Just as Ash and the rest of the group manage to crawl out of the pitfall, James tells Meowth that it's time to go the Plan B, and Meowth presses a button on a remote, causing the ground to start shaking. When the dust clears, a huge purple robot with air suction arms stands over the group, while Team Rocket laugh inside. They turn on the robot's suction arms, generating a vacuum that nearly gets Totodile and Charmander before Ash's Bulbasaur pulls them back with Vine Whip, impressing May's Bulbasaur. As Team Rocket continue to pull them in, Squirtle cries in May's arms as she attempts to comfort the distraught Pokémon. Back in the robot, James tells Meowth to go to full power, but is stopped when Ash tells Snorlax to use {{m|Tackle}} on the robot, knocking it over and sending Team Rocket crashing into the ground. Now out of the robot, they decide to get back to basics as they send out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}} to fight against the group. Cacnea of course leaps back at James and hugs him to his dismay. Professor Birch, Professor Oak, and Delia come out of the lab to see what all the commotion is. Birch recognizes them as Team Rocket, and Professor Oak remarks that those three are still at their old tricks. Not standing for them trying to steal Pokémon, Birch decides to deal with them himself and pulls out a Poké Ball, but is stopped by Delia who tells him that he should leave it to her son and his friends to deal with: it's their fight.<br />
<br />
Back to the battle, Jessie orders Seviper to use {{m|Poison Tail}}, and Ash counters with Bulbasaur's Vine Whip, knocking Poison Tail right back at Seviper. James tells Cacnea to use {{m|Pin Missile}} and May tells her Bulbasaur to use {{m|Petal Dance}}, knocking back Pin Missile and attacking Cacnea. Jessie shouts at the Pokémon to get their act together, and tells Seviper to use {{m|Bite}} while James tells Cacnea to use {{m|Needle Arm}}. Deciding to finish them off, Ash tells Bulbasaur to use {{m|SolarBeam}}, which hits Cacnea and Seviper squarely, sending them blasting off. Realizing that they're beat, Team Rocket attempt to sneak away but are stopped by Tracey and Misty, who team up their Marill and {{TP|Misty|Azurill}} and use a double Water Gun, sending Jessie, James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet smashing into their robot. May then tells Combusken to use {{m|Fire Spin}}, and Ash tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, causing the robot to explode and send them blasting off after their Pokémon. As the group celebrate, Delia says that she knew that they would be all right.<br />
<br />
Back in the lab, Tracey tries again to recall Squirtle back into its Poké Ball, but the baby Pokémon is having none of it and jumps straight back into May's arms. Birch comments that maybe Squirtle would be better off with May, and asks Professor Oak what he thinks. Oak then asks May if she would like to take care of {{TP|May|Squirtle}}, and May says that she would and thanks the Professor. Oak then asks her if she would like to leave her Bulbasaur at the lab, and May agrees, saying that it could learn much from Ash's Bulbasaur. Oak is glad that he has another Pokémon to take care of in the lab, along with Glalie and Torkoal who Ash has decided to leave with him as well. He then pulls out two brand new [[Pokédex]]es and gives them to May and Ash, who thank him. Max is a little jealous that everybody got something and he didn't, but Tracey surprises him with an updated [[PokéNav]] containing all the Battle Frontier data. Max is excited and starts looking for the new data on the updated device, and tells the group that the nearest Frontier facility is near [[Cerulean City]], and Ash says that that's near where Misty is heading. Misty decides to join the group on their way there.<br />
<br />
Later that day, the group decide to leave and Ash says his goodbyes to his mother. Delia tells him to be okay, and Max jumps in and says that Ash will, as long as he is there. Just as they are about to depart, Ash's Phanpy runs up and Ash figures that it wants to come along with them. With Phanpy in tow, the friends set off.<br />
<br />
Saying goodbye, Ash along with a group of his friends, leave Pallet Town once more. Soon afterward, {{an|Brock}} shows up and rejoins the group after having seen his family in [[Pewter City]].<br />

<i>On the day before Christmas, Pikachu and its Pokémon friends are playing in a snowy town. But their snowball bowling game goes awry, and Totodile's snowball knocks a passing Delibird out of the sky! Delibird crashes down onto Meowth and Wobbuffet, who were out for an innocent stroll, but a wild Skarmory is annoyed at the racket and sends them all blasting off. Delibird has another bumpy landing, and now it's in a panic because it's lost all the presents that were in its sack. If they're not found by midnight, they won't be delivered for Christmas! Fortunately, Pikachu and its friends will help Delibird find all the presents.<br />
<br />
Everyone splits up into two groups. Pikachu's group finds one present on top of a boat, while Bulbasaur's group spots another present in the forest. A third present is retrieved from the clutches of a wild Aipom. Just before midnight, the two groups meet up in town and discover the last missing present in a tree. When they try to grab it, it goes flying into the air and the wild Aipom comes to the rescue with a last-minute catch! Now the presents are in place and the holiday is saved, thanks to Pikachu and its friends.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
The episode begins with the narrator—(a different one than usual)—saying that something bad always happens on the day before [[Christmas]]. The scene moves to where the Pokémon are bowling with snowballs. Pikachu gets a strike, and then Cyndaquil misses. Totodile then moves forward with a giant snowball in its mouth. It trips, and the ball is sent up with a Water Gun, hitting a passing Delibird.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Meowth is telling Wobbuffet that a Skarmory should not get angry. Just then, Delibird falls into them and Skarmory is hit by the snowball. Skarmory uses a {{m|Wing Attack}}, causing Meowth and Wobbuffet to blast off, while Delibird falls into the woods, its presents scattering everywhere. Noctowl tries to hold Delibird up, but it is too heavy. However, Bulbasaur and Chikorita use their vines together to pull Delibird safely to the ground.<br />
<br />
Cyndaquil tickles Delibird to wake it up, and Togepi and Pikachu befriend it. Delibird realizes that the presents are gone, but the Pokémon quickly promise to help find them. They split up into two groups and start looking. Pikachu notices the first present on a boat that is moving along the river, and so Totodile chases after it. After picking up the present, Chikorita pulls it over to land. That's one down.<br />
<br />
In the woods, Psyduck joins a line of Gloom. Bulbasaur asks them if they have seen any of the presents. They have, and so Noctowl scans the area. Spotting a present in a tree, all that they need to do now is get it down. Geodude solves this by banging into the tree. That's two down, three to go.<br />
<br />
Cyndaquil has fallen asleep, so Pikachu wakes it up. This makes it fall down, but they find the third present because of this. It is on some wires far above them, and this one can't be gotten by banging into things. To make things worse, an Aipom decides to take it. Pikachu asks for it, but Aipom refuses to hand it over. The Pokémon throw snowballs at it, but to no avail. The Aipom is dancing around mischievously by this time, but is then hit by a snowball it doesn't see and ends up falling. Pikachu breaks its fall, and the Aipom runs off without the present. Three down, two to go.<br />
<br />
Make that four down, as Bulbasaur found another one when we weren't watching it. However, they still need to find another one and there is only ten minutes left. As night sets, Noctowl spots it in another tree. With a bit of effort, Noctowl pulls it out, but it starts falling down the tree. Due to the angle of the branches, it flies past them. Though they run after it, they can't catch up, especially as Bulbasaur and Chikorita are flicking it up to stop it hitting the ground. Totodile finally catches it, but then everyone runs into it and the present goes flying over a cliff...except that same Aipom just happens to be there, and it grabs the present in its tail.<br />
<br />
Aipom gives the present to Pikachu, who in turn gives it to Delibird. And just in time as the clock has struck midnight and the Christmas tree beside them lights up. The narrator is revealed to be Santa, and as he thanks the Pokémon Delibird gets into the sleigh with him. Santa comments how well things went, and says that he thinks things will be even better on Christmas Day. With a "Merry Christmas", the sleigh flies past the moon, and then all of the Pokémon say goodbye. As the Pokémon wave, he sets off to do his deliveries.<br />

<i>On the outskirts of a small town, our heroes run into a young boy named Bucky. He tells our friends of his woes in trying to capture a Dunsparce. It seems the Dunsparce are indeed sparse in this area, at least they are now. When Bucky was out of town visiting his grandpa, a swarm of them came through and every kid in town caught one. Although Bucky still tries to participate in the Dunsparce games by using his Caterpie, Caterpie just can't compete. While Ash and Co. make good on their promise to help Bucky find one of these snake-like Pokémon, Team Rocket pulls a scheme in town to rid the children of their Dunsparce. Will Team Rocket get away with the Poké-napping this time or will our heroes, joined by their new friend, Bucky, be able to triumph over Team Rocket and spare the Dunsparce?</i><br />

==Trivia==<br />
* This is the first episode to feature an event [[legendary Pokémon]] in ''[[Who's That Pokémon?]]''.<br />
* This is the second time James has worn a {{p|Moltres}} costume. The first was in the episode ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]''. The two costumes in question are not the same.<br />
===Errors===<br />
<br />
* Dunsparce was repeatedly called a {{type|Bug}} in this episode. It is actually a {{type|Normal}}.<br />
* The Poké Ball does not open when Bucky sends out his Caterpie at the beginning of the episode.<br />
* [[Jessie]] doesn't have her gloves on when she orders {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} to use Counter and when she orders {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to counterattack after the {{p|Dunsparce}} used {{m|Screech}}.<br />
** Also during the battle between Jessie's Wobbuffet and Misty's {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}}, Jessie instructs Wobbuffet to use {{m|Counter}} against {{m|Water Gun}} which works. Counter should only repel [[physical move]]s. The correct move would have been {{m|Mirror Coat}}.<br />
* When Team Rocket gets blasted off by the kids' Dunsparce, Victreebel disappears.<br />
