Synopsis

Template:Incomplete synopsis Ash, Dawn, and Brock are aboard a ship heading back to Twinleaf Town, gradually growing more lonely as the trip goes on due to the realization that the three will soon split up. However, a Pichu appears, brightening everyone's mood, followed by a Teddiursa, Igglybuff, Azurill, and Cleffa.

However, all is not well. Team Rocket is stirring up trouble beneath the sea, disturbing some Tentacruel living peacefully at the bottom, and causing them to rush to the surface. Without warning, the Pokémon attack the ship, causing a great crisis.

• Ash, Brock, and Dawn narrate the preview of the next episode.
• Despite the fact it has existed since Generation I and is known as Chansey's signature move (plus the fact that Chansey have made regular appearances in the anime since the second episode), this episode marks the first time that Softboiled is used in the anime.

Errors

• Despite Wynaut's Pokédex entries claiming that it is impossible for it not to smile, Wynaut was seen not smiling at several points during this episode.
