Splitting Heirs! (Japanese: シトロン対ユリーカ！？ニャオニクスできょうだいバトル！！ Citron VS Eureka!? A Sibling Battle for Nyaonix!!) is the 45th episode of the XY series, and the 844th episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on October 2, 2014 and in the United States on November 22, 2014.
Blurb
En route to Coumarine City, our heroes meet a Trainer named Blake and his Meowstic, a male with a beautiful blue coat. Among the trees, Chespin spies a female Meowstic and runs off in pursuit, followed by Bonnie, who is upset at Clemont for insisting that she eat her vegetables.
When three Beedrill attack Bonnie and Chespin, Blake’s older brother Heath (the female Meowstic’s Trainer) rescues them, and everyone goes off to the brothers’ sprawling mansion to get some first aid for Bonnie. Then, Blake and Heath’s father challenges them to a treasure hunt to decide who will inherit the mansion!
Our heroes split up to help, but the treasure eludes everyone...until the brothers remember a tree with beautiful flowers that they discovered together when they were younger. Everyone runs to the spot, but they’re attacked by an Exploud! It turns out Exploud is their father’s Pokémon, and he sent it there to get the brothers to battle side by side, as they did when they were young.
Blake and Heath make amends, which inspires Clemont and Bonnie to do the same. After saying their goodbyes, our heroes are off once again to Coumarine City!

The episode begins with Ash and his friends eating lunch alongside a guest, named Blake, and his male Meowstic. Clemont notices that Bonnie hasn't eaten her vegetables yet, and urges her to do so, saying she'll never become a strong Trainer if she doesn't. Bonnie points out that Clemont doesn't like certain vegetables either, which Clemont brushes aside.
While Chespin eats his Pokémon food, he spots a female Meowstic hiding in the bushes, with whom he instantly falls in love with and chases after into the forest. Bonnie, choking down her vegetables, notices this and chases after Chespin. Once Bonnie finds Chespin, she scolds him, saying that it's dangerous to run off into the forest. Unfortunately, Bonnie and Chespin don't remember which direction they came in and are now lost.
Serena notices Bonnie's absence and alerts the rest of the group. Clemont, noticing the uneaten vegetables on Bonnie's plate, assumes Bonnie ran off in order to get out of eating them. The group notices Chespin's absence as well, and Blake says that they should find Bonnie and Chespin soon, as there are many dangerous Pokémon living in the forest.
