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!

Errors

Dub edits
- The title card segment focuses on Ash in the dub instead of Bonnie.
- In the dub, the carrots and peas are referred to as simply vegetables in order to match the lip-flap.
- For an unknown reason, the title card lacks the characters' shadows in the Polish dub.
