'''Plot'''
==Plot==
After the gym battle, [[Clair]] treated everyone with breakfast, {{Ash}} was excited that he finally got eight gym badges and can enter the Johto League. [[Clair]] states that the Johto League Silver Conference is going to be held in Silver Town three months from now. {{Ash}} says he'll go to Newbark Town to register for the Silver Conference.


Clair comes to the heroes with her cookies. Ash is glad he has all the badges for the Johto Leauge. Clair corrects him, as the official name is Johto League Silver Conference. She knows in three months, at Silver Town, near Mt. Silver, the league will be held. Ash wants already to go, but Brock and Misty think it is too early and needs to register. Clair tells he can register at the place where he registered for the Johto Gyms. Ash sees his destination is New Bark Town, where they started the Johto journey.
{{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. While they were talking a Wynaut took they're bag of doughnut holes and Team Rocket assumed it was Wobbuffet who ate all their doughnut holes. They are successful in stealing his Badges and run away with them.


Team Rocket thinks they should steal the badges, considering them to be worth a lot of money. Jessie wants the badges for herself, wanting to enter the League. James and Meowth remind her what happened at Indigo League, but Jessie still wants to compete. She goes to take some food, but sees it is gone. She, Meowth and James accuse Wobbuffet of eating the food, who objects. The heroes and Clair go out of the town, but are approached by Jessie and James, disguised as newsreporters. They want some info about Ash's final win. Jessie takes his jacket off and gives it to Meowth, who takes the badges, while James puts a mantle on Ash, looking like a king and takes photos. Once done, Jessie gives his stuff back and goes with James.
Meanwhile, while {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} takes the badges to a place to meet, he smells some berries and thinks that {{TRT}} will respect him better if he picked some berries for them. While he's picking berries he meets {{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.


Ash thinks he should've been asked questions and was prepared for it. Jessie and James are to chant their motto, but Meowth stops them. Ash thinks they should, considering the trouble. With that word, Jessie and James take off their disguises and chant. They declare they stole the badges, so Ash sees he only has bottle caps. So, the heroes and Clair chase them. Meanwhile, Wobbuffet was given the task of watching over the badges. It sees berries and thinks Team Rocket would praise it for finding them. Wobbuffet harvests the berries and sings a happy song. It sees someone is taking the badge case and finds out a Pokémon thief. Team Rocket arrives and want the badges. However, Wobbuffet reports it was stolen and draws the image of the thief.
{{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} tries to explain what happened and draws a picture of Wynaut. James believes that a Wynaut drawing by Wobbuffet was his childhood nanny, but after Wobbuffet states that the thief was blue, [[Jessie]] 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.
 
Jessie thinks it was a Wooper, so declares a search for it. The heroes did not find Team Rocket, so Clair believes the badges can be re-issued if the theft is reported. Ash responds those badges have a sentimental value, each one has a memory of a Gym battle attached to it. Clair, Brock and Misty see the value of the badges and promise to get them back. Team Rocket encounters a Wooper and goes to get it. However, it jumps away, so Team Rocket tracks it. Ash sends Bayleef and Noctowl to search, while Clair scouts away with Dragonair. Noctowl comes to Bayleef, who has not seen the badges.
 
They see the Pokémon thief, who has the box. Noctowl and Bayleef approach it, who cannot open the box. Bayleef opens the box, revealing the badges inside it. Noctowl goes to report to its master, while Bayleef stays with this Pokémon thief. Noctowl comes to Ash and reports the badges. Meanwhile, Wynaut goes away with berries, as Team Rocket tracked Wooper and see the badges. Bayleef stands to protect the badges, so Jessie sends Arbok and James Victreebel, who attaches itself to James' head. Arbok uses Poison Sting, though Bayleef takes the badges and Wooper away. However, Victreebel's Vine Whip causes Bayleef to trip over.
 
Arbok uses Poison Sting, but the Pokémon thief jumps and uses Counter, reflecting the attack back to Arbok. Team Rocket is still pleased the badges are present, but Ash comes to take them back. Arbok uses Poison Sting to distract Ash, as Team Rocket flees into the balloon. James warns the twerp he can buy off the badges, but Jessie still wants to enter the League. Per Ash's order, Bayleef launches Ash to the balloon. However, Team Rocket flies up, preventing Ash to get onto the balloon. Noctowl goes to pull him, but Ash falls down, onto Clair's Dragonair. Ash thanks Clair and tells Team Rocket has the badges.
 
Pikachu goes onto Noctowl, to track Team Rocket. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, causing Team Rocket to blast off. The badges fall down, though Ash, Dragonair, Clair, Bayleef and Pikachu manage to collect them back. However, Ash sees he misses the Rising Badge, so everyone goes to search for it. Bayleef and Noctowl are approached by the Pokémon thief, who gives the Rising Badge to them. Bayleef presents the badge to her master. Ash is glad, so Bayleef and Noctowl point at the thief, but see it is gone. Ash tries to search in the bushes, but thinks the two are imagining things. However, Bayleef and Noctowl say goodbye to the thief, who is on a boat in the nearby river.
 
Misty, Clair and Brock come and see Ash managed to find all the badges. Ash contacts Oak and reports he got all the Johto badges. Oak thinks Ash is having respect from his Pokémon as he does, then gets crushed by Snorlax, Kingler, Bulbasaur and Muk, so Oak logs out, leaving Ash and Pikachu confused. Later, Clair gives directions to New Bark Town. Brock wishes he can stay with Clair, while Misty drags him away. The heroes part ways with Clair, towards New Bark Town.

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.

Plot

After the gym battle, Clair treated everyone with breakfast, Ash was excited that he finally got eight gym badges and can enter the Johto League. Clair states that the Johto League Silver Conference is going to be held in Silver Town three months from now. Ash says he'll go to Newbark Town to register for the Silver Conference.

Ash plans to go to New Bark Town to register for the Johto Silver Conference now that he has all eight Badges even though the Silver Conference is in three months. Team Rocket has plans of their own, they decide to steal Ash’s Badges for their own purposes. Meowth and James want to sell the badges, while Jessie wants to enter the Silver Conference using them. While they were talking a Wynaut took they're bag of doughnut holes and Team Rocket assumed it was Wobbuffet who ate all their doughnut holes. They are successful in stealing his Badges and run away with them.

Meanwhile, while Wobbuffet takes the badges to a place to meet, he smells some berries and thinks that Team Rocket will respect him better if he picked some berries for them. While he's picking berries he meets 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.

Wobbuffet tries to explain what happened and draws a picture of Wynaut. James believes that a Wynaut drawing by Wobbuffet was his childhood nanny, but after Wobbuffet states that the thief was blue, Jessie believes a Wooper stole the Badges, and they try to find one. While Ash tries on his own to try to find the Badges. Noctowl and 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 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.

Who's That Pokémon?

Who's That Pokémon?: Steelix (US and international), Wynaut (Japan)

Trivia

  • On Pokémon.com, the episode is called Why? Wynaut without the exclamation point. The title card of the episode calls it another title, Why? Why Not!, instead.
    • Some dubs, like Iberian Spanish, use translations of the second title whereas others, like Latin American Spanish, use the first.
  • Throughout the entire Blackthorn City arc, Wynaut is never seen by a human. This perhaps accounts for its perceived rarity outside of Hoenn.
  • This is one of the few times in the anime a member of Team Rocket (in this case, Jessie) refers to Ash by his name and not "twerp" or "brat". The first time was in Electric Shock Showdown when Meowth was cheering for Pikachu and Ash, the second time was in Fire and Ice when Jessie was talking about how the crowd was cheering for Ash, and the third time was in Will the Real Oak Please Stand Up when she addresses Brock as "Brock".
    • They were in disguise during the first, third and fourth incidents.
  • This is the only episode where a Pokémon from a future Generation is used in Dare da?.
  • Music from Pikachu's Rescue Adventure can be heard during Wobbuffet's fantasy.
  • This episode is featured on Pokémon All-Stars: Wobbuffet from Magna Pacific's Pokémon All-Stars series.

Errors

  • When remembering his Badges, Ash says he received the Glacier Badge twice. The first one was actually the Zephyr Badge.
  • Meowth was holding the leaf that had Ash's Badges in it, then it shows Meowth holding nothing, and then holding the leaf again.
  • Ash says he won his Plain Badge from Whitney in the Goldenrod Gym; however, this is incorrect as he won it on her uncle's Miltank farm. Though it's highly possible he was referring to how she is the Gym Leader at Goldenrod.
  • In the recap of the previous episode, the Seismic Toss animation is flawed.
  • There is a repeated frame when Team Rocket finds Ash's badges.
