Plot

Ash and his friends are heading to their next destination, Coumarine City for Ash's fourth Gym battle and Serena's first Pokémon Showcase. Ash notices how excited Serena is and she says that she feels she can't stop her excitement. A split second later Serena and Clemont are both lagging behind because they are so tired. Bonnie lets the others know the path will start going downhill soon, much to the relief of Serena and Clemont. Just then the group sees a Swanna fly overhead and then quickly notice something falling which suddenly hits Ash in the face.

Ash gets up and pulls the Soft Tissue Pokémon from his face, complaining about how slimy it is. He then scans it with his Pokédex and figures out its a Goomy. Something's not right with Goomy and Clemont remarks that Goomy might be dehydrated. Serena takes her water bottle and pours some water on Goomy, but it isn't enough. Just then Ash notices a river and decides to carry Goomy there. On his way down he almost hits a big boulder which Pikachu destroys with Iron Tail. In the lake Ash and his friends get Goomy back to normal and it affectionately nibbles on Ash's ear. Just then Dedenne comes out to say hello to Goomy and Goomy is extremely terrified. Clemont notes that Dragon types such as Goomy are weak against Fairy types like Dedenne. Bonnie calls Goomy "weird" for being scared of Dedenne causing Goomy to go over to her and hit her legs using the feelers on its head. Serena comments on how Bonnie calling Goomy "weird" hurt its feelings and it goes over to her and nibbles affectionately on her ear. She says that it feels icky which causes Goomy to become upset and use Rain Dance on her. Serena apologizes, so Goomy stops the rain, though it is still displeased. Bonnie tells Ash it looks like him when he is hungry: Goomy confirms this and slithers away, and the gang follows it. Team Rocket observes and concludes they don't need Goomy, instead they'll use their original plan to catch Pikachu.

Goomy comes to a bush, eating its leaves. Chespin comes out of Clemont's Poké Ball, using Pin Missile on a tree to knock off some fruit to eat, but this ends up disturbing an Ariados who lives in the tree. Goomy hides behind Pikachu, who uses Electro Ball to counter Ariados' String Shot. Clemont apologises to Ariados for the disturbance and Ariados, while annoyed, lets them off the hook and climbs back up.

Goomy begins to sweat a lot from fear. Ash wonders why it is scared, so Clemont presents his latest invention: the Pokémon Translator Mark 2. He places the visualizer on Goomy's head and the gang looks into Goomy's past: They discover it fled on Swanna after its home was attacked by swarms of Bug-type Pokemon including Yanmega, Ariados and Pinsir. The device stops working and Clemont tries to fix it which causes it to explode. He deduces Goomy was in the middle of the battle and got scared by Ariados. Goomy confirms that, chewing Clemont's ear. Serena explains that this is why Goomy is scared of Ariados, with her ear also being chewed on. Suddenly, a device cuffs the heroes to a tree, as Team Rocket appears. After their motto, Team Rocket releases a net. Pikachu tries to electrocute it with Thunderbolt but the net is electric-proof and catches him and Goomy. James throws a smoke bomb at the heroes and the crooks make their getaway. Ash calls out Frogadier who uses Cut on the cuff, freeing them. Ash then sends out Fletchinder to search for Team Rocket.

Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to no effect, as the net is still electric-proof. Team Rocket notices they also caught Goomy by accident, but they allow it to stay. Still, they are pleased they caught Pikachu and have a party first, making impressions to amuse each other. Pikachu fails to electrocute the cage, so tries to tackle it. Goomy is uncertain, but Pikachu continues to hit the cage, managing to make a slight dent. Goomy gets out with Pikachu's help. However Pikachu cannot fit through the gap, so Goomy lubricates him using the slime on its body. Team Rocket comes, hearing some noise. They see Pikachu looking reflective, but ignore it and continue on. Goomy and Pikachu manage to escape. They flee. Meanwhile, Team Rocket admits Pikachu was quite oiled. Jessie and James think it wanted to get out and laugh, but their laughter fades however when they realize the possibility of this. They return to the cage, find it empty, and give chase.

James chases them on foot while Jessie and Meowth go in the balloon. As James tries to get them, Fletchinder sees them and reports to Ash, then leads the gang to where they are. James runs faster and is about to catch up before Goomy uses Rain Dance, which causes him to slip off. He boards the balloon, while Jessie sends Pumpkaboo, who uses Shadow Ball on them. Ash arrives just in time and takes the hit for them in the nick of time. Jessie throws another device, which cuffs Clemont, Bonnie and Serena, who lament falling for the same trick twice, but not Ash. Meowth releases another net, but Pikachu destroys it with Iron Tail. James sends Inkay, who goes to Tackle, while Pumpkaboo uses Shadow Ball. Fletchinder uses Peck on Inkay, stopping its attack while Shadow Ball is countered by Pikachu's Electro Ball.

Inkay uses Psybeam, which hits both Pikachu and Fletchinder. The effect leaves them confused, as they start to attack each other. Ash holds Pikachu and Fletchinder down, letting them know he is on their side, though they attack him. Goomy is touched at Ash's willingness to care for his Pokemon at his own expense while Team Rocket decides to hit all of them. Inkay uses Psybeam and Pumpkaboo uses Dark Pulse. Goomy stands in the way and takes the hit. Pumpkaboo and Inkay repeat the attacks, though Goomy absorbs them and releases a massive burst of white energy, which hits the both of them. Ash praises Goomy for using Bide. Pikachu and Fletchinder snap out of confusion while Pumpkaboo attempts to use Shadow Ball, but the attack is stopped by Pikachu's Thunderbolt, which blasts Team Rocket off.

Ash tells Goomy it is not weak at all. Dedenne tries to reach out to Goomy, who hides behind Pikachu. Clemont observes that Goomy may have some deeper issues with Fairy-type Pokémon. Ash senses Goomy has a lot of willpower and thinks it wants to be as strong as Pikachu. Goomy confirms by chewing his ear. Ash is pleased and gently taps it with the Poké Ball. Goomy allows itself to be caught, pleasing Ash and Pikachu. Ash calls Goomy back out, knowing that they will train to have it as strong as Pikachu. Goomy is happy and chews Ash's ear once more.

Trivia

File:Title Card XY Ash.png
The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode

Errors

  • In one scene, the colors of Pinsir's mouth are inverted (ie. white innards with black teeth).
  • When Pikachu tried breaking out of the cage he and Goomy were in, he got covered in bruises. When Goomy made him all slippery so he could squeeze out of the opening he made, the bruises disappeared.
  • When Ash protected Pikachu and Goomy from Pumpkaboo's Shadow Ball, James's Inkay was there seen, even though he didn't send it out.
  • Goomy's Bide damaged Pumpkaboo despite Ghost-type Pokémon being immune to Normal-type moves.

Dub edits

  • In the dub, when Pikachu, along with Fletchinder got hit by Inkay's Psybeam, his mouth opens, but no sound comes out.
