==Blurb==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-5/episode-20-05_20-an-egg-sighting-adventure/--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;The egg—yet to hatch—that Ash had received from a grateful Pokemon breeder turns up missing. Ash and friends are fortunate, however, in that an Officer Jenny famous for her brilliant forensic work appears on the scene. As the investigation proceeds, however, the young Pokemon trainers begin to lose faith in this famous figure—it seems she is only able to correctly interpret clues after someone else (most often Ash, Misty, or Brock, in this case) have sorted things out for her. It seems that if the young trainers are to find the egg before it hatches, they will have to take over the investigation themselves.&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Ash}} wonders what will hatch from his Egg. He says that all he wants is that the Pokémon will be healthy. It also seems like he&#039;s not the only one interested in the Egg. {{TRT}} spies on them, also daydreaming about what&#039;s inside the Egg. Meowth thinks it might be a legendary Pokémon, like {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, or {{p|Moltres}}, but the others think that can&#039;t happen. Later, some storm clouds start to form, causing Pikachu to get excited from the electricity. {{an|Brock}} says that there is a [[Pokémon Center]] nearby and they should get there as soon as possible. Their pace is decided when a bolt of lightning strikes nearby. It looks like that bolt hit Team Rocket, ruining their plan. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It starts to pour and the gang runs for that Pokémon Center Brock mentioned. When they get there, they are greeted by [[Nurse Joy]], who gives them a room. They decide to hit the hay and turn in. When the lights are out, Team Rocket, who is waiting just outside the Center, decides to make their way in. Meowth picks the lock on the outside door and they go in. Every so often Wobbuffet just comes in a makes a loud shout, which ends up getting him beaten down. Finally they make it to Ash&#039;s room, and {{MTR}} picks that lock as well. They wonder how they can easily get the Egg, so they hook Meowth to a fishing pole. They sneak their way in, then Brock starts talking, except it&#039;s only in his sleep. Then they fuss over who gets credit for the Egg. Through all this, Togepi wakes up and starts using {{m|Metronome}}. Before Team Rocket could finish, the Egg teleports away just outside the center, leaving them baffled. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then they notice {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} eating an apple. They forget about the Egg and want to know where it got the food, which Wobbuffet points to a basket of fruit in the kitchen down the hall. Rushing to the kitchen, Team Rocket falls flat on their faces. Later outside, where the Egg is teleported, a {{p|Kangaskhan}} Joey walks to it and taps it a couple of times before its mother comes along. The Kangaskhan takes a look at the Egg, then puts it in her pouch along with the Joey. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ash is dreaming about the Egg, only a lot larger. It begins to crack and open, breaking into another Egg, and then it breaks into another, and it keeps going until there&#039;s nothing left. After that, Ash wakes up and walks over towards the table on which his Egg was sitting, only to see that it is not there. He looks around but can&#039;t find any trace of the Egg. Misty and Pikachu get up wondering what&#039;s going on, Ash tells them. Brock goes off talking in his sleep again, then Joy knocks on the door wondering what happened. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next day, all of them wait outside for [[Officer Jenny]] to come by.  Ash tells her about his missing Egg and Jenny says that she can solve this one right out, they don&#039;t call her the Great Police Detective for nothing. A {{p|Chansey}} comes by to see what&#039;s going on and Jenny thinks maybe one of the Chansey may have it. Joy checks them out and none of them do. Jenny tries another idea, she gets out her {{p|Growlithe}} in order to search for clues. The Growlithe sniffs Ash to get his scent and then runs off. The only thing that the Growlithe finds is the case. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They head back to check out the room. Jenny notices Misty&#039;s Togepi. She gets another idea that it was Brock who stole the Egg. She explains that Ash and Misty both had an Egg, but Brock never did. So late at night, he stole the Egg while everyone was asleep. They believe her at first, but stop her as she tries to arrest Brock. Misty points out scratch marks on the doorknob before they leave. Jenny states that Brock must have scratched the knob to make it look like someone else picked the lock. Jenny continues to march off with Brock, but Joy says that there were also scratch marks on the knob on the outside door. Now it can&#039;t be Brock since he was inside the whole time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jenny decides to use her {{p|Jumpluff}} for another investigation. The Jumpluff sprinkles some pollen onto the floor, which shows the shoeprints. Jenny checks out everyone&#039;s shoes and starts to look around. They then notice that the shoeprints are way out of reach of the table. Jenny has Jumpluff sprinkle the hallway. Jenny then comes up with a Pokémon [[footprint]]. She thinks it was a {{p|Suicune}}, but obviously, it must be Meowth&#039;s. Later on, they see four faceprints, Team Rocket&#039;s faceprints! Team Rocket hears the investigation. while they&#039;re still in the kitchen, Ash and {{Ashfr}} run to the door. Team Rocket holds it steady but lets go as soon as everyone tries to tackle the door down and they run off. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They lose Team Rocket at first, but not before finding their footprints in the road. They are soon stopped by Kangaskhan. Brock tells everyone to look, because Ash&#039;s Egg is in its pouch. Ash tells the Kangaskhan that the Egg is his, so the Kangaskhan sniffs it, then Ash and lets Ash take it. Jenny figures that when Team Rocket was running away with the Egg, the Kangaskhan stopped them and fought them for it. Just as this little scene happens, Team Rocket swipe it for real with a hand in their balloon. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to try to stall them for a while but the Kangaskhan uses {{m|Dizzy Punch}}, sending it all the way back. Jenny calls out her Growlithe to use {{m|Flamethrower}} on the hand, causing it to drop the Egg. Ash runs up to catch the Egg, and when he does, he tells Pikachu to let out a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, blowing up the balloon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They thank Kangaskhan afterwards for her help and later that evening; the gang sets off to [[Mahogany Town]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* The English dub title of this episode is a pun of the phrase &amp;quot;An exciting adventure.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Team Rocket references The Night Before Christmas.&lt;br /&gt;
===Errors===&lt;br /&gt;
* Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy both refer to the Chansey at the Center as &amp;quot;Chanseys&amp;quot;, even though the &amp;quot;s&amp;quot; is never used for multiple Pokémon.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Officer Jenny called out {{TP|Officer Jenny|Growlithe}}, she said &amp;quot;We&#039;re looking for an Egg with Ash&#039;s scent.&amp;quot; Then Growlithe sniffed Ash, but Growlithe didn&#039;t know who Ash was yet.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Jessie and James tried to steal the Pokémon Egg they were tiptoeing even when they go out of the room. But when Officer Jenny&#039;s Jumpluff spread its {{m|Spore}}, their footprints are complete.&lt;br /&gt;
* In one scene in the dub, Jessie calls for Arbok to use a &amp;quot;fang attack&amp;quot;.  At the time of the episode&#039;s initial dubbed airing, the only known fang attacks were {{m|Super Fang}} and {{m|Hyper Fang}}, neither of which Arbok can learn.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Team Rocket gets blasted off, Arbok and Victreebel disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
*Ash looks up Jumpluff in his Pokédex after yelling &#039;What&#039;s that&#039; eventough he saw one in episodes 225 on the PC while on the phone with prof Oak. Bulbasaur was stopping the Pokémon at the labatory from fighting.&lt;br /&gt;

==Blurb==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-5/episode-21-05_21-hatching-a-plan/--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;At long last Ash&#039;s egg hatches, a Phanpy emerging to finally put everyone&#039;s curiosity to rest. Ash and friends&#039; excitement is matched only by that of Jessie and James of Team Rocket, who see in the newly hatched Pokemon a chance to redeem themselves with Giovanni. Full of youthful vigor, the Phanpy quickly escapes Ash and goes off on its own, now pursued by both Team Rocket and Ash&#039;s party. Ash and Pikachu finally set out together after this stray Pokémon and continue to be frustrated in attempt after attempt at its capture.&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
While camping out for the night, {{an|Misty}} notices a light coming out of Ash&#039;s [[bag|backpack]]. {{Ash}} gets out the [[egg case]] because the [[Egg]] is starting to hatch. They all wonder what might hatch out of the Egg. {{TRT}}, who plans on stealing the Pokémon, wait nearby. The Egg hatches into a {{p|Phanpy}}! Ash checks it out with Dexter and wonders where its Poké Ball is. Brock reminds him that the Poké Ball is on the case, so he takes it and tries to return Phanpy, who jumps out of the way. Ash tries again, but Phanpy continues to dodge the beam. Brock suggests that some food might convince Phanpy to listen. Ash gets out some food, but before the Phanpy could get to it, Team Rocket snatches it with a hand. Pikachu shocks them with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and hits Phanpy as well. Team Rocket blasts off, and Phanpy is still a little shocked from the jolt. Pikachu tries to comfort it but a spark sends Phanpy running. Ash tries to run after Phanpy without luck. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gang splits up in search of Phanpy. Brock leaves some food out to attract it when a bush near him wiggles about. Brock grabs at it; however, it ends up being [[Misty&#039;s Psyduck]], with a mouthful of Brock&#039;s food. Ash and Pikachu look about, but Pikachu feels completely at fault. Ash comforts Pikachu, knowing they&#039;ll find Phanpy eventually. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deeper in the woods, Phanpy runs about, and the electricity is wearing off. Phanpy looks around for Ash, but then realizes it&#039;s hungry; Phanpy decides to follow a pleasant smell of food. The aroma comes from Team Rocket, who is cooking toast over a fire. They sulk in their failure to get the Phanpy but Meowth cheers them up a bit. When Meowth is about to eat his toast, Phanpy steals it before he can eat it. Meowth ends up biting its hand. Meowth goes hysterical noticing that the toast disappeared, but Jessie and James don&#039;t seem to care and start eating. Phanpy swipes their toast as well. When Meowth looks around for what happened, he sees Phanpy standing there, finishing the toast. Meowth tries to scold Phanpy but it tackles Meowth. The Meowth looks the other way for a while, with his tail waving at Phanpy, who seems to like it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gang meets up although nobody found Phanpy. Then Team Rocket appears out of the bush, dressed up in weird jumpsuits and helmets. Ash gives them a few remarks until Meowth shows up with Phanpy. Ash tries to call Phanpy to him, but Meowth goes up in front of Pikachu, waving his tail which is painted like a Phanpy. Phanpy gets excited and runs towards them, but Meowth quickly dodges, hitting Pikachu instead. James whips out the same hand and grabs Pikachu. Pikachu tries to shock them but the suit makes Jessie and James invulnerable to electricity. Then, James releases his {{p|Weezing}} to make a smoke shroud. With the smoke, Team Rocket is long gone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Team Rocket celebrates their catch with a toast of milk. Phanpy looks like he wants some as well but James puts Phanpy in a cage where Pikachu is. Pikachu plans that they should bash the cage so it rolls down the cliff. They bash the side of the cage twice and it rolls down, breaking when it smashes into a tree. James hears the crash and goes over to see that the cage is gone, and he then sees the two Pokémon running away. Team Rocket hops into their balloon and chases after them. The gang sees the balloon and rushes towards it. Both Pokémon and the gang are stopped by a raging river. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It looks like the two have no choice but to jump. Pikachu makes the first jump across to a stone, telling Phanpy to jump too. Phanpy does, though not really as well as Pikachu. Pikachu hops to another stone, Phanpy following but misses and goes in. Pikachu grabs Phanpy, causing both Pokémon to hang on the rock; Pikachu slips! Ash runs along the river to find something to get them. Pikachu grabs another rock that happens to be under a tree. Ash climbs up with a rope and tries to grab Pikachu and Phanpy. He manages to get Pikachu but Phanpy slips away. With no other option, Ash jumps into the river, despite the waterfall nearby. As soon as he falls down, Ash tosses the rope to the others, saving Phanpy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the short refresher from the waterfall, Team Rocket arrives on the scene. Meowth does the Phanpy trick, but Phanpy&#039;s not so happy about Team Rocket this time. Jessie and James send out their Pokémon. Ash lets Phanpy go up for battle and Phanpy does a {{m|Rollout}} attack, which knocks the Team Rocket&#039;s Pokémon back. Pikachu lets off a Thunderbolt, but it doesn&#039;t affect Jessie and James, but it sure affected the whole balloon. The balloon explodes and they blast off.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* This episode was initially going to be called &amp;quot;Phanpy&#039;s Phantastic Arrival.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Phanpy is supposed to be 73.9 pounds, or 33.5 kilograms, but people are still able to hold it, as well as Pikachu being able to somewhat effectively bear its weight. Although this may be due to the fact that Phanpy is just a newbotn, even more absurd occurrences have happened in episode [[DP044]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Even though Meowth says that the paint he put on his tail doesn&#039;t wash off and that it took a long time for him to paint it, the paint is missing between the two scenes where Meowth is using his tail as bait, exposing Meowth&#039;s normal brown tail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Errors===&lt;br /&gt;
* Although {{p|Phanpy}} is a {{type|Ground}}, it was affected by {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, this could be due to Phanpy&#039;s newborn state; its natural protection from {{type|Electric}} attacks may not have set in yet.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Ash and his friends saw the Meowth Balloon, which is chasing Pikachu and {{AP|Phanpy}}, they followed it. But when they found Pikachu and Phanpy, they are on the other side of the river.&lt;br /&gt;
* Even though {{p|Phanpy}} just hatched out of its [[egg]], Ash told it to return in its [[Poke Ball]] even though it hadn&#039;t been caught yet&lt;br /&gt;

==Blurb==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-5/episode-21-05_21-hatching-a-plan/--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;At long last Ash&#039;s egg hatches, a Phanpy emerging to finally put everyone&#039;s curiosity to rest. Ash and friends&#039; excitement is matched only by that of Jessie and James of Team Rocket, who see in the newly hatched Pokemon a chance to redeem themselves with Giovanni. Full of youthful vigor, the Phanpy quickly escapes Ash and goes off on its own, now pursued by both Team Rocket and Ash&#039;s party. Ash and Pikachu finally set out together after this stray Pokémon and continue to be frustrated in attempt after attempt at its capture.&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
While camping out for the night, {{an|Misty}} notices a light coming out of Ash&#039;s [[bag|backpack]]. {{Ash}} gets out the [[egg case]] because the [[Egg]] is starting to hatch. They all wonder what might hatch out of the Egg. {{TRT}}, who plans on stealing the Pokémon, wait nearby. The Egg hatches into a {{p|Phanpy}}! Ash checks it out with Dexter and wonders where its Poké Ball is. Brock reminds him that the Poké Ball is on the case, so he takes it and tries to return Phanpy, who jumps out of the way. Ash tries again, but Phanpy continues to dodge the beam. Brock suggests that some food might convince Phanpy to listen. Ash gets out some food, but before the Phanpy could get to it, Team Rocket snatches it with a hand. Pikachu shocks them with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and hits Phanpy as well. Team Rocket blasts off, and Phanpy is still a little shocked from the jolt. Pikachu tries to comfort it but a spark sends Phanpy running. Ash tries to run after Phanpy without luck. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gang splits up in search of Phanpy. Brock leaves some food out to attract it when a bush near him wiggles about. Brock grabs at it; however, it ends up being [[Misty&#039;s Psyduck]], with a mouthful of Brock&#039;s food. Ash and Pikachu look about, but Pikachu feels completely at fault. Ash comforts Pikachu, knowing they&#039;ll find Phanpy eventually. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deeper in the woods, Phanpy runs about, and the electricity is wearing off. Phanpy looks around for Ash, but then realizes it&#039;s hungry; Phanpy decides to follow a pleasant smell of food. The aroma comes from Team Rocket, who is cooking toast over a fire. They sulk in their failure to get the Phanpy but Meowth cheers them up a bit. When Meowth is about to eat his toast, Phanpy steals it before he can eat it. Meowth ends up biting its hand. Meowth goes hysterical noticing that the toast disappeared, but Jessie and James don&#039;t seem to care and start eating. Phanpy swipes their toast as well. When Meowth looks around for what happened, he sees Phanpy standing there, finishing the toast. Meowth tries to scold Phanpy but it tackles Meowth. The Meowth looks the other way for a while, with his tail waving at Phanpy, who seems to like it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gang meets up although nobody found Phanpy. Then Team Rocket appears out of the bush, dressed up in weird jumpsuits and helmets. Ash gives them a few remarks until Meowth shows up with Phanpy. Ash tries to call Phanpy to him, but Meowth goes up in front of Pikachu, waving his tail which is painted like a Phanpy. Phanpy gets excited and runs towards them, but Meowth quickly dodges, hitting Pikachu instead. James whips out the same hand and grabs Pikachu. Pikachu tries to shock them but the suit makes Jessie and James invulnerable to electricity. Then, James releases his {{p|Weezing}} to make a smoke shroud. With the smoke, Team Rocket is long gone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Team Rocket celebrates their catch with a toast of milk. Phanpy looks like he wants some as well but James puts Phanpy in a cage where Pikachu is. Pikachu plans that they should bash the cage so it rolls down the cliff. They bash the side of the cage twice and it rolls down, breaking when it smashes into a tree. James hears the crash and goes over to see that the cage is gone, and he then sees the two Pokémon running away. Team Rocket hops into their balloon and chases after them. The gang sees the balloon and rushes towards it. Both Pokémon and the gang are stopped by a raging river. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It looks like the two have no choice but to jump. Pikachu makes the first jump across to a stone, telling Phanpy to jump too. Phanpy does, though not really as well as Pikachu. Pikachu hops to another stone, Phanpy following but misses and goes in. Pikachu grabs Phanpy, causing both Pokémon to hang on the rock; Pikachu slips! Ash runs along the river to find something to get them. Pikachu grabs another rock that happens to be under a tree. Ash climbs up with a rope and tries to grab Pikachu and Phanpy. He manages to get Pikachu but Phanpy slips away. With no other option, Ash jumps into the river, despite the waterfall nearby. As soon as he falls down, Ash tosses the rope to the others, saving Phanpy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the short refresher from the waterfall, Team Rocket arrives on the scene. Meowth does the Phanpy trick, but Phanpy&#039;s not so happy about Team Rocket this time. Jessie and James send out their Pokémon. Ash lets Phanpy go up for battle and Phanpy does a {{m|Rollout}} attack, which knocks the Team Rocket&#039;s Pokémon back. Pikachu lets off a Thunderbolt, but it doesn&#039;t affect Jessie and James, but it sure affected the whole balloon. The balloon explodes and they blast off.&lt;br /&gt;

* Even though Meowth says that the paint he put on his tail doesn&#039;t wash off and that it took a long time for him to paint it, the paint is missing between the two scenes where Meowth is using his tail as bait, exposing Meowth&#039;s normal brown tail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Errors===&lt;br /&gt;
* Although {{p|Phanpy}} is a {{type|Ground}}, it was affected by {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, this could be due to Phanpy&#039;s newborn state; its natural protection from {{type|Electric}} attacks may not have set in yet.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Ash and his friends saw the Meowth Balloon, which is chasing Pikachu and {{AP|Phanpy}}, they followed it. But when they found Pikachu and Phanpy, they are on the other side of the river.&lt;br /&gt;
* Even though {{p|Phanpy}} just hatched out of its [[egg]], Ash told it to return in its [[Poke Ball]] even though it hadn&#039;t been caught yet&lt;br /&gt;
*Ash looks up Jumpluff in his Pokédex after yelling &#039;What&#039;s that&#039; eventough he saw one in episodes 225 on the PC while on the phone with prof Oak. Bulbasaur was stopping the Pokémon at the labatory from fighting.&lt;br /&gt;

It looks like the two have no choice but to jump. Pikachu makes the first jump across to a stone, telling Phanpy to jump too. Phanpy does, though not really as well as Pikachu. Pikachu hops to another stone, Phanpy following but misses and goes in. Pikachu grabs Phanpy, causing both Pokémon to hang on the rock; Pikachu slips! Ash runs along the river to find something to get them. Pikachu grabs another rock that happens to be under a tree. Ash climbs up with a rope and tries to grab Pikachu and Phanpy. He manages to get Pikachu but Phanpy slips away. With no other option, Ash jumps into the river, despite the waterfall nearby. As soon as he falls down, Ash tosses the rope to the others, saving Phanpy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the short refresher from the waterfall, Team Rocket arrives on the scene. Meowth does the Phanpy trick, but Phanpy&#039;s not so happy about Team Rocket this time. Jessie and James send out their Pokémon. Ash lets Phanpy go up for battle and Phanpy does a {{m|Rollout}} attack, which knocks the Team Rocket&#039;s Pokémon back. Pikachu lets off a Thunderbolt, but it doesn&#039;t affect Jessie and James, but it sure affected the whole balloon. The balloon explodes and they blast off.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* This episode was initially going to be called &amp;quot;Phanpy&#039;s Phantastic Arrival.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Phanpy is supposed to be 73.9 pounds, or 33.5 kilograms, but people are still able to hold it, as well as Pikachu being able to somewhat effectively bear its weight. Although this may be due to the fact that Phanpy is just a newbotn, even more absurd occurrences have happened in episode [[DP044]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Even though Meowth says that the paint he put on his tail doesn&#039;t wash off and that it took a long time for him to paint it, the paint is missing between the two scenes where Meowth is using his tail as bait, exposing Meowth&#039;s normal brown tail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Errors===&lt;br /&gt;
* Although {{p|Phanpy}} is a {{type|Ground}}, it was affected by {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, this could be due to Phanpy&#039;s newborn state; its natural protection from {{type|Electric}} attacks may not have set in yet.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Ash and his friends saw the Meowth Balloon, which is chasing Pikachu and {{AP|Phanpy}}, they followed it. But when they found Pikachu and Phanpy, they are on the other side of the river.&lt;br /&gt;
* Even though {{p|Phanpy}} just hatched out of its [[egg]], Ash told it to return in its [[Poke Ball]] even though it hadn&#039;t been caught yet&lt;br /&gt;
*Ash looks up Jumpluff in his Pokédex after yelling &#039;What&#039;s that&#039; eventough he saw one 2 episodes back on the PC while on the phone with prof Oak. Bulbasaur was stopping the Pokémon at the labatory from fighting.&lt;br /&gt;

==Blurb==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-5/episode-6-05_06-octillery-the-outcast/--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;After reaching the town where the preliminary round of the Whirl Cup is held, Ash and Misty enter and earn the two victories required to continue on to the finals. A friend they had met earlier is not as fortunate. When Misty tries to console him with promises of the next Whirl Cup to be held in three years, he remains depressed, saying that it was not lack of ability but the low spirits of his Octillery that had brought about his defeat. The Pokémon had been depressed ever since it evolved from a Remoraid and was subsequently spurned by its onetime Remoraid friends. If the boy cannot somehow mend these friendships between Pokémon that have now grown different in appearance, he doesn&#039;t see any hopes of victory even in three years time. Ash and friends willingly lend their knowledge and enthusiasm to this problem of Pokémon sociology.&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} have finally reached the main island where the [[Whirl Cup]] will be held. Ash and {{an|Misty}} go on with their talking about their dreams and such when finally they head over to the [[Pokémon Center]] for some info. Obviously it seems like they&#039;re not the only ones who want to enter. They wait in a long line for while and finally they get to the front desk. {{an|Brock}} goes off with flirting with [[Nurse Joy]] when Misty finally puts him out of the picture for a while. Ash and Misty register and it looks like there&#039;s going to be a qualifying match before the tournament. She shows a picture of the tournament tree, only sixteen entries available. {{TRT}} spies from the outside of the Center and comes up with another plan. They want to swipe any good {{t|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and give it to {{an|Giovanni|the Boss}}, but {{MTR}} wants a &amp;quot;Theme Park.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the gang walks around town, they notice a boy walking around all down in the dumps. Misty goes up and asks him if he&#039;s alright. The boy replies only asking if any of them are in the tournament, which Misty says yes. Immediately the boy introduces himself as [[Marcellus]] and asks if any of them would {{pkmn|battle}}, or {{pkmn|training|train}} for a while. Misty accepts and they head off to a battle site. The site is covered in water, only having two stones as {{pkmn|Trainer}} boxes plus four pillars. Marcellus says that this is supposed to simulate what the real arena looks like. Both get ready, Marcellus sends out {{p|Remoraid}} and Misty calls upon {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}. Marcellus commands Remoraid to use {{m|Water Gun}}, which Corsola counters with {{m|Mirror Coat}}, knocking back the Remoraid but not [[fainting|knocking it out]]. Corsola goes for a {{m|Tackle}} but Remoraid dives underneath and Corsola hits one of the pillars. It seems like Remoraid is nowhere to be seen but soon it is spotted on a wave. Marcellus tells Remoraid to use another Water Gun and this time it knocks Corsola out. Remoraid then [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Octillery}}. Marcellus thanks them and heads off. It&#039;s late night back at the Pokémon Center and Ash and Misty have a big day tomorrow. Ash asks {{AP|Pikachu}} to be his support while Misty asks {{an|Brock}} to keep {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} company while battling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next day, the matches are quick to end. On Ash&#039;s side, it was {{AP|Totodile}} vs. {{p|Seel}} followed by Totodile vs. {{p|Shellder}}, while Misty&#039;s was Corsola vs. {{p|Seaking}} and {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} vs. {{p|Magikarp}}. After their matches, the three join up at the Pokémon Center where they see Marcellus again, but this time he seems down. Ash asks if he didn&#039;t make it, but Misty shoves him off and asks what&#039;s up. Marcellus explains that there&#039;s something going on with his Octillery lately. They go over to his house where they go in a room full of Remoraid in an aquarium. Marcellus releases his Octillery and it goes inside the tank, towards the school of Remoraid. The Remoraid, however shift to the opposite direction of Octillery. Octillery follows but again they shift to the other side. This continues until the Remoraid finally shoots out Water Gun at Octillery, which it goes in jar. They now understand the situation. After a few ideas, they dress up Ash in an Octillery costume, much to Ash&#039;s chagrin. Ash tries to lure out the Octillery but instead gets shot at. Maybe there&#039;s another way... but they put that on hold for now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the night, Team Rocket slip in and commence their plan, get the Remoraid since it seems to be the easiest to steal. The gang and Marcellus are about to start dinner when they hear a funny noise. Marcellus says he&#039;ll check it out. When he gets there, he flips on the light switch and sees Team Rocket. Immediately they go off with their {{motto}}, Marcellus not getting the idea until he sees the tanks are empty. Ash comes in and sees Team Rocket, however they make their escape in a truck and drives off. Looks like they can&#039;t catch up, but they notice puddles on the ground. Looks like Octillery left a trail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Team Rocket stop at the port where a boat is already waiting. Meowth goes and operates the crane while [[James]] opens up the back. While Meowth is operating, Octillery comes up unnoticed and starts smothering Meowth. [[Jessie]] and James pull off Octillery but soon it goes in a mad rage tackling Team Rocket to the ground. Soon Octillery bashes the aquarium until it cracks open, releasing all the Remoraid into the ocean water. Now the gang has caught up, but Team Rocket isn&#039;t giving up. Meowth tries to grab Octillery with the crane, making a few unsuccessful moves but finally getting it. Ash is about to have Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}} but Meowth laughs saying &amp;quot;Do that and Octillery here is toast&amp;quot;. With no other option, the Remoraid all fire at the crane, causing Octillery to go flying. But the Remoraid save it with Water Gun, sending it back onto the port. Pikachu then releases Thunderbolt followed by Octillery shooting an {{m|Octazooka}}, blowing Team Rocket sky high. After the battle, the Remoraid soon evolve into Octillery themselves and it looks like Marcellus&#039;s Octillery won&#039;t be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next day, the finalist Trainers await at a cliff to watch the Whirl Cup Stadium, partially flooded, rise. It looks like the real battle just begun.&lt;br /&gt;

When Team Rocket enters the room with the Remoraid aquarium James tells Jessie he sees no resemblence to her first grade teachter, as if he has met that teacher. James however, grew up in a private school for rich people.&lt;br /&gt;
It could be that Jessie once told about her childhood nightmare about that particular teachter to James.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Arriving at a beautiful hot springs, Ash, Misty and Brock decide they and their Pokémon need to take a much needed break from their journey. As Ash and the Pokémon hit a beach ball around, Totodile, Chikorita and Cyndaquil play a little too rough. Totodile ends up blasting the ball deep into the nearby forest and when Ash sends these three Pokémon to retreive it, they run into a gang of antagonizing Aipom! In order to survive the escapades of retrieving the beach ball and the pitfalls of trying to make it back to Ash, these three must learn to work together. Watch as Chikorita, Totodile and Cyndaquil learn to appreciate the power of friendship.&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
While taking a break in a tropical jungle, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} notice a {{p|Mankey}} and two {{p|Aipom}} up a tree. They then discover a hot spring and relax. The gang lets their Pokémon out for a break and Ash begins a game of ball. The game is proceeding well until {{AP|Totodile}} whacks the ball a bit too hard and it hits {{AP|Cyndaquil}} before flying out of sight. {{AP|Chikorita}}, Cyndaquil and Totodile get into a fight, but Ash tells them to just go find the ball. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chikorita spots the ball while they are searching, but one of the Aipom is playing with it. When Chikorita asks the Aipom for the ball, the Aipom refuses to give it up. Totodile and Cyndaquil appear and try to claim it. However, Totodile smashes into a tree in doing so, knocking some other Aipom down from the tree. The Aipom get angry and start to bury Totodile, Chikorita and Cyndaquil in sand. Chikorita then got Cyndaquil to face its back on the Aipom. Chikorita used her leaf to hit Cyndaquil on the head and Cyndaquil&#039;s flame lit up, scaring the Aipom away. The trio then continue chasing the Aipom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is walking in the same area eating fruit and day dreaming of the tropics. All of a sudden, the Aipom and Chikorita, Totodile, and Cyndaquil run them over in the chase, and [[Jessie]] says it&#039;s a great chance to get the Pokémon since Ash isn&#039;t nearby. The Aipom go into a cave, with the other Pokémon and Team Rocket following. Team Rocket is just outside the cave when a {{p|Snorlax}} walks up and tries to take the fruit [[James]] has. Team Rocket enter the cave to hide, while Snorlax eats the fruit and falls asleep, blocking the cave entrance. Team Rocket splits up to find another exit. {{MTR}} runs into a dead end, but also finds Totodile. Meowth is ready to catch him, but Snorlax is uncomfortable and starts pounding the mountain, causing cave ins. Totodile rescues Meowth from a rockslide and easily breaks loose from the rocks. Totodile then attempts to get them out by using {{m|Water Gun}}, but fails. Chikorita and Cyndaquil are also trapped, and are searching for a different way out. A few more cave ins occur, and they find Totodile. Chikorita immediately starts to repeatedly slam the rock and manages to break Totodile and Meowth out. In the meantime, Jessie, James and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} are able to blow their way out and run into a number of Aipom who start tossing rocks at them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the cave, the four trapped Pokémon hear some wind blowing, so Chikorita locates the air hole and Totodile uses {{m|Water Gun}} while Cyndaquil and Chikorita push at the rocks. They get through, but the hole just leads back to where Snorlax is. Chikorita attempts to tickle Snorlax, and fails, but Cyndaquil wakes Snorlax with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Meowth nets the others, but Snorlax is upset and chases Meowth back into the cave. The Aipom are now chasing Team Rocket back in by causing a nearby waterfall to flood, and the water goes through the cave and out the other side carrying Snorlax, Team Rocket, and the other Pokémon along. Chikorita, Totodile, and Cyndaquil grab on to Snorlax and try to save themselves from a waterfall down stream by latching onto each other. Chikorita {{m|Razor Leaf}}s two trees down and they ride them to safety. Ash then catches up to them and rescues the trio. Back at the river, Team Rocket is holding onto Snorlax to keep from going over the falls, but Snorlax wakes up and starts swimming upstream, causing them to lose their grip and go down over the waterfall.&lt;br /&gt;

==Blurb==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-3/episode-44-03_44-tunnel-vision/--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;While Ash and friends deliberate on how to pass through a tunnel replete with Onix, two wandering Pokémon—a Snubbull and a Jigglypuff—arrive on the scene together and take a strong enough dislike to each other to threaten drawing everyone else into their conflict.&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
The episode begins with {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} deciding whether to go to [[Onix Tunnel]] just before sunset. Brock says that it is a tunnel full of {{p|Onix}}, while Ash replies by saying that Onix are weak to water suggesting he will use {{AP|Squirtle}}. Then he remembers he left Squirtle with the [[Squirtle Squad]]. Misty replies by saying that her water Pokémon will do the job. Finally they decide to wait until morning to enter the tunnel. {{an|Jigglypuff}} follows them, and {{TP|Madam Muchmoney|Snubbull}} follows closely behind. Next, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} are shown at the cave&#039;s entrance, and tell us that it is morning. They attempt to pass the tunnel, but three {{p|Onix}} are blocking the way. James calls out his {{TP|James|Victreebel}}. He orders Victreebel to use {{m|Razor Leaf}},but the Onix don&#039;t seem affected by it. They reply by using {{m|Rock Throw}}, hitting their head against the wall making huge boulders fall from the ceiling. Next Jessie calls her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} only to be {{m|Bind|binded}} by one of the Onix. After that, Jessie throws Meowth at the Onix in order to use {{m|Fury Swipes}}. The Onix reply by using Rock Throw again. {{TRT}} runs out of the tunnel, and decides to steal {{an|Misty|Misty&#039;s}} {{type|Water}} Pokémon in order to counter the Onix. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} comes out of its ball only to be returned back. A quick flashback follows, including {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}}, and {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}}. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Ash is sitting by the water washing his face, Brock is doing exercises with {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} and Misty is scolding her Psyduck for its habit of putting its hands on its head. Brock asks Pineco if he&#039;s ready to have some fun, Pineco replying with his usual explosion. Ash begins to notice a somewhat familiar {{TP|Madame Muchmoney|Snubbull|Granbull}}. Misty says that it&#039;s obviously the Snubbull that belongs to [[Madame Muchmoney]]. Then, a short flashback follows, with Snubbull biting Meowth&#039;s tail, which was part of {{TRT}}&#039;s plan to lure Snubbull into their trap. Ash wonders what it is doing here with Misty thinking that probably Snubbull didn&#039;t like living in a fancy mansion. Then Ash notices that it could&#039;ve sniffed something out. Then Snubbull runs away. The gang gives chase to Snubbull. While, they&#039;re doing that, Team Rocket in disguise is looking for Misty while daydreaming about the water Pokémon. The scene turns back to the chasing of Snubbull. He runs away, while {{an|Jigglypuff}} appears and starts singing putting them to sleep along with Team Rocket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Snubbull appears and goes for Meowth&#039;s tail only to fall asleep near it. Then she wakes up, with her face scribbled by Jigglypuff and with no sign of Team Rocket.He starts sniffing again, arriving at a small pond where an angered Jigglypuff is scribbling a sleeping {{p|Pidgey}}. Snubbull steals Jigglypuff&#039;s microphone and runs away with it. The scene turns to Ash, Brock and Misty who encounter Jigglypuff. They attempt to run, but Brock stops them, saying there is something different about it. Then Ash notices it doesn&#039;t have its microphone. They decide to help it find the microphone. The scene turns to Team Rocket with Jessie deciding to use the pitfall trap. She comes out with a new invention, a shovel combined with a pogo stick. Snubbull appears with the microphone, while Team Rocket is digging. He sneaks behind Meowth biting his tail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jessie picks up Snubbull, saying it is Madam Muchmoney&#039;s Snubbull. James thinks it would be a great gift for {{an|Giovanni|their boss}}. A quick flashback with Misty and her Togepi appears followed by Jessie saying she is glad to have a Pokémon to cuddle. Wobbuffet comes out again, while Meowth saying he must choose between him or Snubbull. Team Rocket reply by welcoming Snubbull to the team with Meowth leaving. Next, the gang along with Jigglypuff arrive to Team Rocket&#039;s food pitfall trap. Jigglypuff runs to it falling in the hole. Ash sends his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to get Jigglypuff out of the hole. It becomes angry, runs toward two more pitfalls with Bulbasaur taking it out of both holes. It angers again and runs, while the gang follows it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the meantime, Team Rocket notices Meowth&#039;s absence. Snubbull jumps from Jessie&#039;s hands and runs away. The scene turns to Meowth deciding to return to Jessie and James but quickly changing his mind. Next the gang is shown searching for Snubbull. The scene reverts to Meowth standing near the Onix Tunnel with a sad Jigglypuff joining him. They start to talk, with Meowth reaching a conclusion they should start their own team named the Dream Team only to be interrupted by Snubbull biting his tail. Jessie and James appear while Jigglypuff tries to take its microphone back. Meowth intervenes between them only to be caught in the fight. The gang appears and breaks the fight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then Team Rocket&#039;s {{motto}} follows. When Meowth tries to tell his line is interrupted by Wobbuffet. Jessie sends her Arbok and Misty her Poliwag. Poliwag dodges Arbok then hits him with {{m|Water Gun}}. Jessie sends out Victreebel and Ash sends out {{AP|Chikorita}}. James orders Victreebel to use Razor Leaf on Poliwag but Chikorita uses {{m|Vine Whip}} to break the attack. Poliwag attacks Arbok with {{m|DoubleSlap}} and Chikorita uses Razor Leaf on Victreebel. Chikorita attempts to use Vine Whip but is {{m|Counter|countered}} by Wobbuffet. Poliwag uses Water Gun succeeding in breaking Wobbuffet&#039;s counter and throwing it, Victreebel and Arbok back to Team Rocket. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} and sends them blasting off. Snubbull runs away leaving the microphone behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jigglypuff picks up the microphone singing, putting Ash, Misty and Brock to sleep then scribbling their faces. As they sleep, Jigglypuff enters the tunnel and encounters the three Onix. She starts singing again, putting them to sleep. The gang then passes through the tunnel seeing the sleeping Onix with their faces scribbled. In the final shot, Team Rocket is seen passing through the tunnel with Jessie tripping and waking up the Onix. Then the scene cuts to the outside.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* This is the first time {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} shouts out its name at the end of Team Rocket {{motto}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* This is one of the episodes where {{an|Jigglypuff}} {{m|sing}}s its song the most with {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} hearing it twice, {{TRT}} hearing it once and the {{p|Onix}} that dwell in the Onix tunnel once. &lt;br /&gt;
* Ash mentions that he no longer has his {{AP|Squirtle}}. In the dub, however, this episode aired slightly out of order, and aired before the episode where Squirtle returned to the [[Squirtle Squad]], causing confusion for viewers, as well as spoiling the ending to [[EP147|another episode]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Errors===&lt;br /&gt;
* Brock says that the food pitfall trap is familiar, but the only other one so far was in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] when Brock was with [[Professor Ivy]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Ash says Jigglipuff doesn&#039;t carry his microphone and then calls that they all should look for it. The microphone actually is a marker Jigglypuff took out of Ash&#039;s bag, back in the Kanto region. Ash should know that since he saw it in all episodes with Jiggly in it.&lt;br /&gt;

==Blurb==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-3/episode-4-03_04-the-wacky-watcher/--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Ash and friends are no sooner recruited as assistants in an elaborate project researching Magikarp evolution than Team Rocket surfaces, stealing the object of the young Trainers&#039; research.&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{Tracey}} are traveling along on {{AP|Lapras}} when a submarine surfaces and a man named [[Quincy T. Quackenpoker]] comes out and sets up equipment. Suddenly they are caught in the middle of a migrating group of {{p|Magikarp}}. Mentioning that he believes he knows where the Magikarp are headed Quackenpoker sets off after them in his submarine. The trio decide to follow him to [[Rind Island]] and find out where the Magikarp are going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the trio arrives on the island they see the Magikarp swimming upstream. Shortly after  they meet Quackenpoker carrying a large heavy pack who quickly drafts the three friends and {{AP|Pikachu}} into carrying it for him. He then introduces himself as a [[Pokémon Watcher]] who has dedicated his life to the study of Magikarp.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quackenpoker sets up a tripod with camera programmed to record information on the number and physical condition of the Magikarp. He also explained his system of banding the Magikarp to reveal when each Magikarp left the island. The Magikarp are born in the waters around the island but once a year they all return to the island no matter where they are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile the group are being observed by {{TRT}} who at [[Jessie]]&#039;s instigation hatch a plan to catch all the Magikarp in order that they can train them into evolving into {{p|Gyarados}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trio and Quackenpoker then see the Magikarp swimming up a waterfall. Tracey postulates that while the Magikarp swim around the world they are building up their strength in order to scale the falls, although as Quackenpoker explains half of the school are still too weak to make the climb.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the top of the falls Jessie, [[James]] and {{MTR}} are waiting with nets, having no money for [[Poké Ball]]s. James catches one in his net, but it quickly escapes onto the bank. In an attempt to stop its escape they jump on it but are dragged into to water and over the falls instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quackenpoker leads the group up the hill hurrying them along so he will be in time to see the Magikarp [[Evolution|evolve]]. When they reach the top, after setting up his monitoring equipment beside the lake, Quackenpoker joins the trio for a meal. He comments that Ash and Pikachu have the most symbiotic relationship he has ever seen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As night falls Tracey and Quackenpoker are discussing Magikarp habits with Tracey suggesting that the Magikarp navigate by noting the position of the Sun as they leap although Quackenpoker disproves this idea by showing a Magikarp that can&#039;t jump at all yet still finds its way to the island. The Magikarp begin leaping out of the water sensing something about to happen. However the water in the lake begins to churn and Quackenpoker states that something is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Team Rocket&#039;s submarine appears, using long arms to pluck the Magikarp out of the water. However their greedy harvest quickly results in a glut of Magikarp within the sub and as a result it begins to sink and they are forced to throw many back. The submarine then surfaces and the Team recites their motto. After this, they begin throwing the Magikarp out of the submarine forcing Ash and his friends to catch them before they fall. Using their distraction they capture Pikachu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quackenpoker stops Ash before he can order Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} saying that the resulting shock would hurt the Magikarp. Agreeing, Ash selects {{p|Bulbasaur}} commanding it to use {{m|Vine Whip}}, however by passing Pikachu between them Team Rocket are able to foil the attack, although in the confusion James got a Magikarp attached to his head. Jessie and Meowth try to pull it off without success until Quackenpoker intervenes, stroking its fin until it relaxes and releases James. While they were distracted Ash was able to grab Pikachu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Team Rocket prepare to retaliate they were surprised when the Magikarp in Quackenpoker&#039;s arms began to evolve before being followed by the rest of the lake bathing the scene in white light. The Team Rocket sub was sucked up into a massive water spout and sent splashing off again. The Gyarados and the remaining unevolved Magikarp swim back out to sea being followed by Quackenpoker and Tracey as they count the number of evolved and unevolved Magikarp. Just after the school swims out of sight, the sun rises and the scene fades out. Team Rocket is finally shown to be stranded on a rock in the middle of the ocean surrounded by Gyarados.&lt;br /&gt;

{{right clear}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* Quincy T. Quackenpoker bears a resemblance to {{wp|Groucho Marx}}.&lt;br /&gt;
** He even said &amp;quot;When I was a boy, I woke up one morning and saw a Magikarp in my pajamas, how a Magikarp got in my pajamas I&#039;ll never know&amp;quot; which is similar to Marx&#039;s {{wp|paraprosdokian}} &amp;quot;One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas I don&#039;t know.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* This is the second episode of the Orange Island saga to be dedicated to {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Gyarados}}. The first was &#039;&#039;[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
* This is also the second episode that ends with Team Rocket stuck on top of a rock surrounded by Gyarados, the first being &#039;&#039;[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
* The book &#039;&#039;[[Prepare for Trouble]]&#039;&#039; is based on this episode.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meowth sings &#039;Gotta Catch&#039;m all&#039; while fishing Magikarp. This must be the first time the Themesong is sung in the series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Errors===&lt;br /&gt;
* The {{p|Magikarp}} in Dr. Quackenpoker&#039;s data sketches shows Magikarp having red whiskers instead of yellow whiskers.&lt;br /&gt;
* Tracey did not introduce his name to Dr. Quackenpoker, but Dr. Quackenpoker called Tracey by his name.&lt;br /&gt;
* Dr. Quackenpoker used three colors of bands on the Magikarp. When the Magikarp and Gyarados head down the stream towards the ocean, Quackenpoker tells Tracey to keep track of the red and blue ones. However, they each hold two devices to keep track of the numbers, implying that there is a fourth color.&lt;br /&gt;
* Dr. Quackenpoker tells Tracey to hurry because the Magikarp and newly evolved Gyarados are swimming upstream, when they are actually swimming downstream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dub edits===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the dub, Dr. Quackenpoker introduces himself. Tracey repeats his name as if he heard of him before.  Tracey then recognizes him as a famous Pokémon watcher. In the original Tracey had never heard of him before and was only interested in the fact that he was another Pokémon watcher.&lt;br /&gt;

It was first broadcast in Japan on May 20, 1999 and in the United States on April 1, 2000. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoilers}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Blurb==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-2/episode-44-02_44-tracey-gets-bugged/--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Ash and Tracey are thrilled when they reach Murcott Island, an island famous for having tons of bug-type Pokémon. Misty must try and overcome her fear of bugs when the trio finds an injured Scyther in need of treatment. Meanwhile, Team Rocket gets into their own battle with a swarm of Scyther, and they come out of it with a whole new look!&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive on [[Murcott Island]]. At the beach, Ash recalls his {{AP|Lapras}} as {{Tracey}} brings out {{TP|Tracey|Marill}} and {{TP|Tracey|Venonat}}, excited to visit the island. {{an|Misty}} ducks at a passing {{p|Beedrill}} due to her {{wp|Entomophobia|fear of bugs}}. Tracey reveals that the island is famous for housing plenty of {{t|Bug}} types. Misty wants to stay on the beach to avoid exploring as Ash tells Tracey of her fear. Tracey taunts her by calling her a chicken, persuading her to follow. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group walks along as {{cat|Tracey&#039;s Pokémon}} sense something nearby. Tracey uses his binoculars to spot a group of {{p|Caterpie}}. Ash wants to catch one, but Misty pulls him away. Tracey warns her of a Pokémon in her path as she stumbles across a hiding {{p|Pinsir}}, sending Misty running the other way. They continue along and Tracey&#039;s {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} spot something else. Tracey follows as they come across a badly injured {{p|Scyther}} on the ground, nearly passed out from exhaustion. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] as Tracey steps forward to treat it. Scyther wakes up as Tracey tries to use a [[Potion]], jumping back and assuming a battle position, but it is too weak to fight, barely able to stand. Ash steps forward to try to catch it. He throws a [[Poké Ball]], but Scyther swats it away, falling to its knees before struggling back up. Ash attempts to send {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle, but Tracey steps in with his Venonat. Tracey orders a {{m|Sleep Powder}} attack. Scyther tries to fly away and avoid the attack, but it falls back down, the attack hitting and putting it to {{status|Sleep|sleep}}. Tracey tosses a Poké Ball, easily catching {{TP|Tracey|Scyther}}. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{TRT}} is flying over the island in their [[Team Rocket&#039;s mechas|balloon]] surveying the land. A Beedrill flies towards them and cuts through the balloon, bringing it down. Team Rocket gets out of the wreck and notices all the bug Pokémon around. They stumble across a Scyther swarm. The leader, denoted by two cuts forming a cross on its forehead, leads an attack on Team Rocket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the [[Pokémon Center]], [[Nurse Joy]] and {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} work on Scyther. Ash and his friends watch through the window as Scyther glares at Tracey, seemingly mad at being captured. Chansey brings Scyther out of the room and takes it to recovery. Joy concludes that it lost its swarm leadership position from battling a younger Scyther challenger. The loss forced it to leave the swarm and live in exile unless it wins another leadership match. Ash calls {{an|Professor Oak}}, the professor commending Tracey. Oak points out that Scyther&#039;s {{wp|self-esteem}} is probably low due to losing leadership and being captured. Oak suggests to Tracey to try to heal Scyther’s mood and get it back in shape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Team Rocket managed to outrun the Scyther swarm, but not without hits. {{MTR}} and [[James]] notify [[Jessie]] that her hair was crudely cut short. After checking it, she is clearly outraged, wanting to confront the Scyther. Meowth stops her to help plan a method to capture the entire swarm. Meanwhile, Tracey tries to help Scyther recover, but it is resistant. Ash knows Scyther loves {{pkmn|battle|battling}} and that Tracey should work to help Scyther prepare for a rematch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Team Rocket watches the Scyther swarm resting at a pond. Jessie fires a {{wp|bazooka}} loaded with yellow glue into the air, coming down and immobilizing the swarm. Meowth fires a net as the swarm cries out. Scyther hears the cry as Joy removes its bandages. Scyther flies up and crashes through the window, heading away. It crashes back to the earth, still weak. Tracey tries to stop Scyther, but it resists and flies away. Tracey and his friends follow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Team Rocket has the Scyther swarm in a net, Jessie beside herself in anger as she taunts the swarm. Tracey&#039;s Scyther cuts them loose and steps forward to confront Team Rocket. Ash and the others arrive, noticing Jessie’s hair and quickly making fun of her. Furious, Jessie brings out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} while James brings out {{TP|James|Weezing}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}}. Ash sends out Pikachu as Weezing uses {{m|SmokeScreen}} to cover the field. Scyther blows it away with {{m|Swords Dance}}, but it is still exhausted. Meowth translates that Scyther came back not to challenge the leader but to protect its brethren. Team Rocket&#039;s Pokémon outnumber Scyther four to one and Pikachu tries to step in, but Scyther wards him away. Ash tries to order Pikachu in, but Tracey stops him to allow Scyther to prove itself. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meowth even joins the Pokémon to attack, leading the charge, but Scyther easily swats him away. Lickitung and Victreebel try to hit Scyther in a pincer attack, but Scyther flies up, Victreebel biting Lickitung. Arbok attacks from underneath Scyther, but Scyther uses {{m|Double Team}} to throw Arbok off, sending it back to the ground. Scyther lands and tries to rest as Victreebel attacks with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Scyther stops the attack with its scythes as Tracey reveals how he knew Victreebel would use the move. Arbok attacks with {{m|Poison Sting}} as Scyther dodges. It collapses, low on stamina and unable to dodge the second Poison Sting. The new leader steps forward to stop the attack. The two Scyther team up and attack Team Rocket with {{m|Slash}} attacks against their Pokémon. Jessie tries to fire a bazooka, but Ash&#039;s Pikachu stops her with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Scyther attacks Team Rocket and leaves them with {{wp|Mohawk hairstyle|mohawks}}. Team Rocket retreats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Scyther swarm washes off the glue as the new leader and Tracey&#039;s Scyther give respect to each other. The swarm departs as Tracey&#039;s Scyther regains its confidence, joining Tracey. Tracey officially announces his capture as Ash tries to correct his style to resemble how Ash celebrates his captures.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Professor Oak&#039;s lecture]]: {{p|Ekans}}: Oak discusses Ekans&#039;s ability to sense temperature and swallow prey ten times its own size whole. Oak tries to feed an Ekans some [[Pokémon food]], but gets swallowed whole.&lt;br /&gt;
** Pokémon senryū summary: Swallowing something whole, its belly gets full: Ekans.&lt;br /&gt;
* Tracey&#039;s capture of Scyther marks the first and only time that he is seen capturing a Pokémon in the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Tracey caught Scyther, he grabbed the Poké Ball as soon as Scyther was inside. The Ball never shook as it did with nearly every other capture before and afterwards. This also happened to [[Ash&#039;s Charmander]] and [[Brock&#039;s Vulpix]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Ash decided to catch a Caterpie in this episode but was quickly dragged off by {{an|Misty}}, which was the only time where he wanted to catch a Pokémon from the same species that he had previously successfully caught.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ash says, &amp;quot;I haven&#039;t caught a Caterpie in a long time&amp;quot;. This marks the first time [[Ash&#039;s Butterfree]] was mentioned, albeit indirectly, since its release [[EP021|76 episodes]] prior.&lt;br /&gt;
* In this episode, Team Rocket uses a {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Tracey Gets Bugged motto|variation}} of their motto.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Errors===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:EP097 Error.png|thumb|200px|right|Scyther&#039;s &amp;quot;extra&amp;quot; wing]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In the [[Pokédex]] picture of Scyther, it shows that it has a third wing on its right side when it should be just two on each side. This made Scyther have a total of five wings.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Tracey explains how well {{TP|Tracey|Venonat}} and {{TP|Tracey|Marill}} work as a team, Misty comments &amp;quot;At least they&#039;re not {{type|Bug}}s&amp;quot;. This is untrue in the sense that Venonat is indeed a Bug type.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the English dub Jessie tells {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to use &amp;quot;Poison Needle&amp;quot; rather than {{m|Poison Sting}}. &amp;quot;Poison Needle&amp;quot; is actually the translation of &#039;&#039;&#039;{{tt|どくばり|dokubari}}&#039;&#039;&#039;, the Japanese name of Poison Sting.,&lt;br /&gt;
* When Ash was going to fight Scyther, he asked Pikachu. Pikachu seemed as if it was going to attack without Ash telling it what attack to use, before Tracey interrupted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dub edits===&lt;br /&gt;
Tracy calls Misty a chicken, but there are no chickens, nor any other animals, in the Pokémon world.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;While riding around the Orange Islands on his Lapras, Ash finds a mysterious message in a bottle, which leads the gang on a new adventure. Ash, Misty and Tracey travel to Sunburst Island, which is famous for its artists and glassblowers. They meet a struggling young shopkeeper who&#039;s seeking inspiration from a legendary crystal Onix. Having been unable to find this special Pokémon, the shopkeeper turns to our heroes. With Tracey and his observational Pokémon on board, they set out to fire up a new friend&#039;s creative drive!&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
While riding around the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] on his {{AP|Lapras}}, {{Ash}} finds a mysterious message in a bottle that says &amp;quot;If you know anything about a Pokémon called the Crystal Onix, let me know right away,&amp;quot; which leads the gang on a new adventure. Ash, {{an|Misty}} and {{Tracey}} travel to [[Sunburst Island]], which is famous for its artists and glassblowers. They meet a struggling young shopkeeper named [[Mateo]], who’s seeking inspiration from a Legendary &#039;&#039;[[Crystal Onix]]&#039;&#039;. Having been unable to find this special Pokémon, Ash and {{ashfr}} decide to help him in his search. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{TRT}} arrives on Sunburst Island as well, and are in awe of the glass shops. [[Jessie]] and [[ James]] start picking up various pieces and admiring them. {{MTR}} yells at them to knock it off, causing Jessie and James to break the glass items they were holding. The shopkeeper puts them to work since they don&#039;t have the money to pay him back for the items they ruined. They overhear the shop owner and another employee mock Mateo for searching for the Crystal Onix. Team Rocket becomes interested and they leave in search of it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tracey sends out {{TP|Tracey|Venonat}} to help find the [[Crystal Onix]]. Mateo holds up the statue of the Crystal Onix his grandfather sculpted and Venonat scans the image. The group is lead to a series of rocks that are shaped like the body of an Onix. Disappointed, Tracey recalls Venonat and sends out {{TP|Tracey|Marill}}. Tracey plays Marill a recording of Onix&#039;s cry and Marill quickly detects something. Marill leads them to a body of water and points across the water to a small island with a cave. The water begins to part and a clear path to the cave is shown. They fall into a hole Team Rocket had dug  to keep them away from the Crystal Onix. After reciting their {{motto}}, Team Rocket run off to find the Crystal Onix. Ash and friends climb out of the hole and set off after them. Once they get to the opening of the cave, they discover Team Rocket got caught in their own traps. Misty refuses to help them and they all enter the cave. At the end of the cave they come across a lake. Marill dives in this lake, its tail bobbing above the surface. Marill hops out of the water and then the Crystal Onix bursts out. Team Rocket shows up, free from their traps. Jessie and James send out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}} in attempt to catch the Crystal Onix. Ash and Misty send out {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} to counterattack. Staryu and  Pikachu attack Team Rocket, then the Crystal Onix smacks them in to a blast off.  Mateo sends out {{p|Cloyster}} to battle Onix, remarking that Onix is weak to Water types. Cloyster&#039;s water attacks prove to be useless against the Crystal Onix, so Mateo sends out {{p|Charmeleon}}. Charmeleon uses {{m|Ember}} and the Crystal Onix is engulfed in flames. Mateo stares at the Crystal Onix, who returns his stares. The Onix then faints into the water. Ash calls out at Mateo to catch it, but Mateo says he doesn&#039;t need to, he has found inspiration through the Crystal Onix. The Crystal Onix dives back into the water. Back at his shop, Mateo and Charmeleon are busy making a glass figurine. Ash and his friends wave goodbye to Mateo and Marissa. Mateo made Ash a lifelike glass sculpture of Pikachu.&lt;br /&gt;

They meet a struggling young shopkeeper who&#039;s seeking inspiration from a legendary crystal Onix. Having been unable to find this special Pokémon, the shopkeeper turns to our heroes. With Tracey and his observational Pokémon on board, they set out to fire up a new friend&#039;s creative drive!&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
While riding around the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] on his {{AP|Lapras}}, {{Ash}} finds a mysterious message in a bottle that says &amp;quot;If you know anything about a Pokémon called the Crystal Onix, let me know right away,&amp;quot; which leads the gang on a new adventure. Ash, {{an|Misty}} and {{Tracey}} travel to [[Sunburst Island]], which is famous for its artists and glassblowers. They meet a struggling young shopkeeper named [[Mateo]], who’s seeking inspiration from a Legendary &#039;&#039;[[Crystal Onix]]&#039;&#039;. Having been unable to find this special Pokémon, Ash and {{ashfr}} decide to help him in his search. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{TRT}} arrives on Sunburst Island as well, and are in awe of the glass shops. [[Jessie]] and [[ James]] start picking up various pieces and admiring them. {{MTR}} yells at them to knock it off, causing Jessie and James to break the glass items they were holding. The shopkeeper puts them to work since they don&#039;t have the money to pay him back for the items they ruined. They overhear the shop owner and another employee mock Mateo for searching for the Crystal Onix. Team Rocket becomes interested and they leave in search of it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tracey sends out {{TP|Tracey|Venonat}} to help find the [[Crystal Onix]]. Mateo holds up the statue of the Crystal Onix his grandfather sculpted and Venonat scans the image. The group is lead to a series of rocks that are shaped like the body of an Onix. Disappointed, Tracey recalls Venonat and sends out {{TP|Tracey|Marill}}. Tracey plays Marill a recording of Onix&#039;s cry and Marill quickly detects something. Marill leads them to a body of water and points across the water to a small island with a cave. The water begins to part and a clear path to the cave is shown. They fall into a hole Team Rocket had dug  to keep them away from the Crystal Onix. After reciting their {{motto}}, Team Rocket run off to find the Crystal Onix. Ash and friends climb out of the hole and set off after them. Once they get to the opening of the cave, they discover Team Rocket got caught in their own traps. Misty refuses to help them and they all enter the cave. At the end of the cave they come across a lake. Marill dives in this lake, its tail bobbing above the surface. Marill hops out of the water and then the Crystal Onix bursts out. Team Rocket shows up, free from their traps. Jessie and James send out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}} in attempt to catch the Crystal Onix. Ash and Misty send out {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} to counterattack. Staryu and  Pikachu attack Team Rocket, then the Crystal Onix smacks them in to a blast off.  Mateo sends out {{p|Cloyster}} to battle Onix, remarking that Onix is weak to Water types. Cloyster&#039;s water attacks prove to be useless against the Crystal Onix, so Mateo sends out {{p|Charmeleon}}. Charmeleon uses {{m|Ember}} and the Crystal Onix is engulfed in flames. Mateo stares at the Crystal Onix, who returns his stares. The Onix then faints into the water. Ash calls out at Mateo to catch it, but Mateo says he doesn&#039;t need to, he has found inspiration through the Crystal Onix. The Crystal Onix dives back into the water. Back at his shop, Mateo and Charmeleon are busy making a glass figurine. Ash and his friends wave goodbye to Mateo and Marissa. Mateo made Ash a lifelike glass sculpture of Pikachu.&lt;br /&gt;

==Blurb==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-2/episode-25-02_25-a-friend-in-deed/--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Ash&#039;s Mom and Professor Oak make a surprise visit to watch Ash battle in the Pokémon League Tournament. Professor Oak informs Ash that if he wins his next battle he&#039;ll be able to use six Pokémon in battle instead of three. He also tells Ash to remember that if he does his best but loses his matches, he&#039;s still a winner! On their way back from dinner, Ash meets another trainer who&#039;s also competing in the tournament and also has a Pikachu. Ash and Richie become fast friends especially when they have to fight the unrelenting Team Rocket that steals all of their Pokéballs, along with both of their Pikachu.&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
The episode starts with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} going to get something to eat after Ash&#039;s victory in the fourth round of the [[Indigo League]]. When they arrive at the restaurant they find {{Delia|Ash&#039;s mom}} and {{an|Professor Oak}} standing outside. Ash&#039;s mom then heads into the restaurant and begins to cook at the stove, while the cooks look on in confusion. After the food is done the group goes and sits down to eat and talk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They all head into the elevator and as the doors begin to close a [[Ritchie|boy]] runs up, asking them to hold the elevator. He sees {{AP|Pikachu}} and pets him on the head. Ash warns him that Pikachu might shock him, but to his surprise Pikachu is enjoying the experience. Suddenly, the power goes out and the elevator stops! The boy tells them that he can get it running again and asks Ash if he can use Pikachu for his {{m|ThunderShock}} attack. Ash agrees, and the boy opens the device and lets Pikachu use ThunderShock on it. The lights in the elevator turn back on and the elevator begins to run again. Professor Oak remarks he&#039;s glad they opened the door for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later on, {{TRT}} decides to pull off another elaborate scheme: a &amp;quot;physical examination&amp;quot; of sorts. If Trainers do not comply, they will be disqualified. Unfortunately, when [[Jessie]] attempts to stuff Pikachu into a sack (getting shocked in the process), [[James]] lets slip Jessie&#039;s name, causing Ash and Ritchie to realize who they were. Team Rocket performs their usual {{motto}}, and, behind the cover of {{TP|James|Weezing}}&#039;s {{m|Smog}}, escape with the [[Poké Ball]]s and Pikachu. Ash and Ritchie chase after them, cutting through the mountains to reach the escaping van. Suddenly, the come onto the road where the Rockets are traversing upon. When seeing the &amp;quot;[[twerp]]s&amp;quot;, James swerves off the road and down a hill and into a river. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s nighttime, and Ash and Ritchie still haven&#039;t confronted Team Rocket. They camp out, vowing to find their Pokémon at sun-up the following day. Meanwhile, the scene cuts to Team Rocket feasting by moonlight. After doing a &amp;quot;Poke-dance&amp;quot;, the scene switches back to Ash and Ritchie, staring up at the stars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Morning arrives. The search continues, and the pair come across tire tracks. Ash and Ritchie follow the tracks, and discover the van along with the sleeping trio of Rockets. They creep through the camp towards the van, and find a muffled voice. It&#039;s Pikachu! They are reunited, and the Poké Balls are there too! However, Team Rocket has woken up and finds them trespassing. The quickly rush out of the van, lock the doors, and drive. Still in the van, the twin twerps must think of a way out... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, they remember that they in a van with 100+ Poké Balls at their disposal. Ritchie identifies his Pokémon due to star-shaped stickers, but Ash sends out a {{p|Drowzee}}, {{p|Slowbro}}, and even a {{p|Magikarp}} before Pikachu sniffs out {{AP|Bulbasaur}}&#039;s Poké Ball. Bulbasaur uses {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Razor Leaf}} on the van wall, but to no avail. Ritchie sends out his {{p|Charmander}} [[Zippo]] and orders it to Slash open the van wall. The tactic is successful, and the wall breaks to reveal Team Rocket. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, which is matched by Pikachu. But before Pikachu lets loose a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, James uses &#039;turn attack,&#039; which causes Pikachu to lose balance. Arbok hits Pikachu back. Ritchie then sends out [[Sparky]], his own Pikachu! Jessie orders an attack, while Sparky and Pikachu both counter with {{m|Agility}}. Arbok is overwhelmed, and both Electric Mice Thunderbolt the van. The front portion explodes, leaving the heroes safe and sound. However, even in Anime Physics, inertia still applies, which means the back of the van is still driving along a mountain road- and off a cliff. Pidgeotto and {{DL|Ritchie|Happy}} (Ritchie&#039;s Butterfree) act as parachutes, catching their respective Trainers (Poké Balls and Pikachu included). After using {{m|Whirlwind}} to land safely, a group of SUVs (which turns out to be the Trainers, plus Brock and Misty) pull up to claim their Pokémon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After they return, we leave off with Ash and Ritchie finding out that their next opponents are... each other!&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Professor Oak&#039;s lecture]]: &amp;lt;!--Description here.--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Pokémon senryū summary: Various limited edition goods, souvenir salesman.&lt;br /&gt;
* This episode as well as the next two episodes both have the word &amp;quot;friend&amp;quot; in the title, referencing {{Ash}}&#039;s ongoing friendship with [[Ritchie]].&lt;br /&gt;
* This marks [[Ritchie]]&#039;s first appearance in the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ritchie mentions being able to identify his Poké Balls from the rest of the stolen ones because he placed Star Stickers on them which can be considered an early precursor of the [[Seal]] concept before its introduction in [[Generation IV]].&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Ritchie]]&#039;s Charmander is called Zippo, which may be a reference to the American refillable cigarette lighter brand, Zippo. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Errors===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:EP078 error.png|230px|thumb|right|Professor Oak&#039;s discolored eyebrows]]&lt;br /&gt;
* When it turns dark in the lift, Professor Oak&#039;s eyebrows turn gray. The same error happens again when they&#039;re outside the elevator.&lt;br /&gt;
* Though the power goes out while the characters are in the elevator, when they emerge into the lobby, all the lights are on. Although, everyone in the elevator assumes that the power went out, when it could have just been the elevator that had broken down. Either way, elevators are never set on the same power groups in buildings as the main rooms.&lt;br /&gt;
* When James commands Weezing to use Smog for the first time, his glove is missing.&lt;br /&gt;
* Through most of the Team Rocket motto and a little bit after, Jessie&#039;s eyes are different colors. This is most noticeable when she says &amp;quot;blast off at the speed of light.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* When Ash is chasing Team Rocket, he turns around after Ritchie calls after him and Ash&#039;s eyes are a lighter color than normal.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Arbok is shown dizzy, Ritchie&#039;s eyes are blue.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ash initially cannot find his Poké Balls, save for {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. However, after {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Sparky]] defeat Team Rocket, he immediately calls on {{AP|Pidgeotto}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* Although Jessie and James appear to have all the Poké Balls when Jessie tries to take Pikachu a Trainer can be seen with a full belt of Poké Balls.&lt;br /&gt;

Blazing Battle!&#039;&#039;) is the 76th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 24, 1998 and in the United States on November 6, 1999. &lt;br /&gt;

==Blurb==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-2/episode-23-02_23-fire-and-ice/--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Ash&#039;s second battle takes place on the Rock Field where he relies on his Squirtle to hopefully take down a Nidorino. In between matches, Ash needs to drop off his Pokémon at the Pokémon Center to have them taken care of. Team Rocket takes this opportunity to make one more attempt at stealing Pikachu. They set up a Pokémon Center of their own and when Ash drops off his Pokeballs, they grab them and run! When he finally gets his Pokémon back, Ash must race to make it to his third match of competition, which will be held on the Ice Field.&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Ash}} is in his second preliminary {{pkmn|battle}}, on the Rock field. Both he and his opponent are down to their last {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Ash sends out {{AP|Squirtle}}, while the opponent sends out {{p|Nidorino}}. Both put up a fierce fight, but Squirtle manages to win with a {{m|Skull Bash}}, allowing Ash to advance to the third round.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is revealed that {{an|Gary}} was watching Ash&#039;s battle with his cheerleaders. He says that Ash is acting like he won the whole competition after winning &amp;quot;two easy matches&amp;quot;. He then says, &amp;quot;He better enjoy all his celebratin&#039; now, &#039;cause when his luck runs out, Ash Ketchum won&#039;t have anything to cheer about. Unless he wants to cheer for me, right girls? Hah!&amp;quot; His cheerleaders chant his name happily at this. While he is speaking, he seems jealous and a bit spiteful toward Ash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ash and {{ashfr}} search for a [[Pokémon Center]] so Ash can heal his Pokémon before the third round. The centers are crowded and many [[Nurse Joy]]s and [[Officer Jenny|Jennies]] are everywhere in the streets. Brock&#039;s love meter skyrockets at this rate. {{TRT}} relishes this opportunity to swipe {{cat|Ash&#039;s Pokémon}} and they do so by opening a fake Pokémon Center. After Team Rocket reveals their true identities to Ash and company, they are about to escape with Ash&#039;s stolen Pokémon, but Brock&#039;s {{TP|Brock|Onix}} stops them and gives Ash his Pokémon back. After biting open a hole in the balloon, Onix sends Team Rocket blasting off again! After fending off Team Rocket, the group then hears that new Pokémon will be admitted into the Pokémon Center. Ash takes this opportunity to heal his Pokémon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ash is now in the middle of the third round match with [[Pete Pebbleman]] in the Ice Field. Both Trainers each won the first round of the match. Ash uses {{AP|Kingler}} for the battle, while Pete uses {{p|Cloyster}} for the battle. Ash tells Kingler to use {{m|Crabhammer}}, while Pete orders Cloyster to use {{m|Withdraw}}. This doesn&#039;t look good for Ash since Cloyster used Withdraw. Kingler will get worn out from using Crabhammer, but {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} encourage Ash to keep going, because Cloyster is still losing health despite the defense boost. Kingler keeps hitting Cloyster with its Crabhammer until Cloyster&#039;s shell finally cracks, [[fainting|knocking it out]]. Pete recalls Cloyster and sends out {{p|Arcanine}}. Kingler tries a {{m|Bubble}} attack, but Pete&#039;s Arcanine dodges it and uses {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Kingler is defeated. Ash recalls Kingler and sends {{AP|Pikachu}} into the battlefield. Pikachu uses {{m|Agility}}, but Arcanine is trying to stop it with a {{m|Fire Blast}}. The Fire Blast attacks melt the field. Pikachu dives into the water, then uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Pete&#039;s Arcanine is defeated, and Ash is heading for the fourth round.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Professor Oak&#039;s lecture]]: [[Indigo League]] tournament format&lt;br /&gt;
** Pokémon senryū summary: On the field, choosing the Pokémon, is difficult.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ash&#039;s challenger on the Rock Field is left unnamed in both versions.&lt;br /&gt;
* Misty mentions {{stat|Hit Points}} in this episode, the only time it is referenced in the anime. This was in the dub only, however.&lt;br /&gt;
* Brock&#039;s ability to identify fake Nurse Joys is first seen in this episode.&lt;br /&gt;
* As Ash is looking for a place to eat he passes a movie theater with a poster for &#039;&#039;{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Pokémon in Love}}&#039;&#039;, the movie of which he helped produce.&lt;br /&gt;
* This is the first time in the anime Team Rocket uses Ash&#039;s first name instead of them calling him &#039;that twirth&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Errors===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Brazilian Portuguese dub version, when Misty refers to Hit Points her words are mistranslated as {{tt|Pontos de Ataque|Attack Points}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the posters in the village, the é in Pokémon lacks its accent.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Team Rocket is reciting their motto the white piece of paper behind them covering part of the &amp;quot;R&amp;quot; is missing the blue design and text.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the Ice Field, the announcer says that each contestant has won one match each, but Ash has actually won two already.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the Rock Field, the announcer says that the battle is &#039;&#039;just beginning&#039;&#039;, and that each Trainer has only &#039;&#039;one&#039;&#039; Pokémon remaining.&lt;br /&gt;
* As the Officer Jennys run past Ash and Misty, Ash comments on the large amount of them. However, when a group of Nurse Joys run past, Misty calls them Officer Jennys instead.&lt;br /&gt;
* Brock says that water conducts electricity, but even though Pikachu is in the water, Arcanine is not in it.&lt;br /&gt;
* Misty says that Brock and Ash need to get all of their Pokémon back, but only Ash&#039;s Pikachu was stolen. &lt;br /&gt;
* Kingler faints, but Ash is still able to recall it to its Poké Ball.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the score boards, the green team is usually on the left, while it is on the right this time.&lt;br /&gt;
* The scoreboard prior to Ash&#039;s battle on the Ice Field shows him as the Red Competitor on the right side, but he is on the Green Competitor&#039;s side of the field.&lt;br /&gt;
* Nidorino only attacked without his Trainer&#039;s commands.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Brock tells Misty that Ash was ``starving`` there is a line between Brock&#039;s neck and shoulders making it look like his head is disconnected to the rest of his body.&lt;br /&gt;

==Blurb==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-2/episode-14-02_14-the-pi-kahuna/--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;In an effort to train hard and maintain top shape for the Pokémon League, Ash decides to try some surfing. When he hits rough waters, a surfer named Victor comes to the rescue and tells Ash about a gigantic wave called Humungadunga which hits the island just once every 20 years. Having failed to ride the wave in his youth, Victor is afraid to try again so Ash and Pikachu must provide Victor with the confidence he needs to conquer Humungadunga!&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, {{pkmn|training}} for the [[Pokémon League]], are jogging on a cliff-side road. Ash, decked out in his white and orange shirt, is ahead of {{an|Misty}} (in her blue suit) and {{an|Brock}} (in his basketball jersey). However, Ash&#039;s progress has stopped when a truck passes by, spewing its exhaust in its wake. Blinded, Ash does not see that he is in the path of another truck heading in his direction. Misty and Brock look in horror as Ash is seemingly hit by the truck. Fortunately, the truck had swerved out of the way, leaving Ash unharmed, but it has created a large pileup behind him. [[Officer Jenny]] quickly arrives to defuse the volatile arguments caused by Ash and the drivers, who quickly speed off. As Ash wonders why the road would be so crowded, Officer Jenny tells them that it is the surfing season, and that the famous wave, Humungadunga, is coming. Surfers from all over have tried to ride the Humungadunga, which only appears once every 20 years, and plant their flag at the top of a rock, much like a famous surfer named Jan had done some 40 years ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ash decides to also try surfing out, but his first go-around does not bode well. He wipes out often, and when on one occasion his foot cramps up, he is saved by an older man and his Pikachu. As Ash recovers, Misty and Brock introduce him to {{ka|Victor}} and his [[Puka|Pikachu]], Puka, who had help saved him from drowning. As {{AP|Pikachu}} meets Puka outside and watch the sea together, {{TRT}}, in the [[Team Rocket&#039;s mechas|Gyarados submarine]], plots to steal both.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the mean time, {{ka|Victor}}&#039;s past is revealed: 40 years ago, he had been a young surfer, who had tried to emulate Jan. Although his skills were not good, Jan eventually took him under his wing, teaching him all about surfing. After Jan had conquered Humungadunga and planted his flag atop the rock, he had given his own surfboard to Victor, simply saying &amp;quot;You can do it, too&amp;quot;. With that, Jan had left to see the world. 20 years later, the Humungadunga had arrived, but he had failed. Discouraged, he was about to give up on surfing, but he then saw a [[Puka|Pikachu]] that had been cast away on a tiny raft. &lt;br /&gt;
This was when he first met Puka, and since then, the two have worked as a team: Puka had the ability to sense the waves, emitting a bluish glow when a big wave had approached, and it had helped the two conquer many big waves on the island—Humungadunga was the only one that they have yet to conquer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, Victor&#039;s reverie is interrupted by Team Rocket, who have kidnapped both Pikachu and Puka. Diving down to make their getaway (with Pikachu straining to break himself and Puka out of their glass cage), Team Rocket encounter some real {{p|Gyarados}} in its mating season. The Gyarados is none too pleased, attacking the submarine and finishing off with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, causing the submarine to launch into the air and sending Team Rocket flying, but freeing Pikachu and Puka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chasing after them on a boat, Ash manages to have {{AP|Bulbasaur}} catch Pikachu, but Puka falls into the water. Victor himself dives into the water, and using Jan&#039;s surfboard, manages to rescue Puka. However, the waves become more fierce, and Brock (now driving the boat) is forced to retreat, leaving Victor and Puka alone in the water. Just then, Puka begins to glow - a sign that Humungadunga is coming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Worried about Victor and Puka&#039;s safety from atop a nearby cliff, they are relieved when they find Victor and Puka riding the wave. As for the two, they manage to position themselves close to the rock, and manage to plant their flag atop the rock, next to Jan&#039;s. Back on shore, as Ash congratulates Victor for achieving his lifelong goal, Victor turns to a small group of young surfers, simply saying to them what he had been told so long ago: &amp;quot;Hey, you can do it, too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the episode closes, Team Rocket is seen being surrounded by Gyarados, atop a rock with half of their submarine.&lt;br /&gt;

===Errors===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:EP067 Error.png|thumb|200px|right|{{AP|Pikachu}}&#039;s miscolored tail]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Though it is said many times that surfers from all around the world congregate to attempt to surf the Humungadunga, when the wave actually hits, Victor is the only one riding it. Everyone else evacuates the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
* In a shot near the beginning of the episode, Pikachu&#039;s tail is brown with a yellow base, rather than the other way around.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the flashback picture of Jan, his hair is blonde. However when Victor has a flashback of Jan his hair is brown. This is also true in the picture of Jan and Victor.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Young Victor is surfing on his stomach, his board has the design of an Ampharos, a Pokémon that was not yet released. All other times his board is a Pikachu.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the flashback, Puka&#039;s eyes are brown, up until it gets on the wave, where only its left eye was blue. Both were blue when Victor was holding it.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Victor puts Puka on his board during the storm, his board is blue.&lt;br /&gt;
*When Ash is drowning Pikachu&#039;s eyes are blue, I&#039;ve never seen them other than black before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dub edits===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the [[Pokémon in Portugal|European Portuguese]] dub, {{ka|Victor}} is named Vítor Brás. This is likely a reference to his voice actor Rui Luís de Brás.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==error==&lt;br /&gt;
I don&#039;t think there&#039;s an error in what Prof. W. V. says. He says: I wanna discover why Shellder attaches to Slowpoke. I just don&#039;t understand why they evolve into Slowbro. SO in the Dub version there&#039;s no mistake about &#039;attaching to Slowbro&#039; at all.&lt;br /&gt;
In the end he says (that&#039;s his conclusion) Slowpoke evolves with Shellder at the same time. Shellder&#039;s shell changes (evolves) causing Slowbro to move onto two legs. It&#039;s mutual benefit for the both of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Slowpoke&#039;s Evolution==&lt;br /&gt;
Hey. I&#039;m new here, so I&#039;m not entirely sure what counts as an error or that. However, I think there is one in this episode that isn&#039;t listed, or it&#039;s at least an error in the other episode. Nearly all Pokémon glow when they are evolving, and become that shiny white colour, just as with this episode. However, in [[EP017]], at the end, the Slowpoke evolves into Slowbro just by standing up. I think this should be mentioned either here, or on the EP017 page. --[[User:Darach-bcv|Darach-bcv]] 23:04, 26 February 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:If I remember EP017 correctly, there&#039;s no indication that the Shellder bit Slowpoke&#039;s tail immediately before Slowpoke/bro pulled it out of the water, so the shiny whiteness could have happened right before the camera cut to the scene.  —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 23:21, 26 February 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::While that is possible, it does say &#039;&#039;Slowpoke&#039;&#039; when fishing, then when it gets its tail out of the water it says &#039;&#039;Slowbro&#039;&#039;. I don&#039;t know what it says in the Japanese version though.  &amp;lt;small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:white; background-color:blue&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;X&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;[[User:Vuvuzela2010|&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:blue; background-color:white&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Vuvuzela2010&#039;&#039;&#039;]]&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:white; background-color:blue&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;X&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt; 00:00, 27 February 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

==Blurb==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-2/episode-2-02_02-the-purr-fect-hero/--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;It&#039;s Kids Day, and Ash and friends help the children at a nearby school celebrate the holiday. Team Rocket spoils the fun with a Pikachu-napping scheme that goes awry when they snatch a kid instead of the Pokémon. But in a shocking turn of events, Meowth becomes a good guy—or does he?&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
The episode begins with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} walking along a dirt path. They come across a few Pokémon banners and immediately recognize that it&#039;s Kids&#039; Day. Suddenly, {{ka|Reiko|someone}} mistakes the trio for the Pokémon Trainers they&#039;ve been looking for. Once she receives a phone call, she realizes that Ash and company are not the Pokémon Trainers she was searching for. However, after hearing how she wanted to do something special for the children she taught at the pre-school, the trio decides to let the children play with their Pokémon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, {{TRT}} reminisces about Kids&#039; Day. [[James]] always had a great Kids&#039; Day, whereas [[Jessie]] did not.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The episode goes back to Ash and his friends inside the school. The children rush over to play with {{AP|Pikachu}}, who has to be taken away by Ash before it electrocuted the children. {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} also let out their Pokémon, who all began playing with the kids. However, there was one child who was off on his own. This child, {{ka|Timmy}} had no interest in playing with any Pokémon besides {{p|Meowth}}. He further explains that this is due to a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] Meowth saving him from a {{p|Beedrill}}. However, the children are in total disbelief and mock him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suddenly, a bright van pulls up to the school where Jessie, disguised a magician, convinces the teacher to let her, James, and {{MTR}} do a magic show for the children. She agrees and Team Rocket sets up. They show the children, the gang, and the teacher an empty box, and claim that they need a volunteer. Pikachu is swept up by James who places it into the box. Both Jessie and James chant before tapping the box with a wand. Meowth flies from the box and completes the trick, much to the kid&#039;s enjoyment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trio try to make their getaway, but are stopped by Ash who demands his Pikachu back. Team Rocket reveals themselves, but are attacked by the overly excited children. They begin to bounce around {{TP|James|Weezing}} before the teacher yells at them to quiet down and leave Team Rocket alone. Getting back down to business, James tells Weezing to use {{m|SmokeScreen}} which was able to blind the gang.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Timmy, upon seeing Meowth&#039;s distress, rushes over to help, but knocks down the box Meowth was standing on. This also knocks Pikachu out of the box, unbeknownst to everyone else. Team Rocket picks up the box and rushes off to escape. Ash worriedly calls out to Pikachu, but Pikachu is safe and sound inside the school. However, the teacher says that Timmy has gone missing. Then Misty does a Meowth impression.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Team Rocket rejoice their capture and open the box, hoping to pull out Pikachu. Instead, they pull Timmy from the box, who proceeds to cry. The tears stop when he sees Meowth. He runs over to Meowth, thanking him for saving his life from the wild Beedrill. Meowth was about to tell him he had the wrong Pokémon, but Jessie and James convince Meowth to go along with the kid to avoid crushing his feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Putting on act, Jessie and James act like they wanted to do harm to Timmy. Meowth jumps in front of him and uses {{m|Fury Swipes}} to knock Jessie and James down. Meowth grabs Timmy&#039;s hand and makes a run for it. They come running back to the school, surprising everyone. The children see Meowth and apologize for not believing Timmy&#039;s story in the first place and Timmy accepts their apologies and allows them to play with Meowth, who relishes in the attention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meowth accidentally lets some human speech slip from his mouth, getting Misty to call him out. In desperation, he made a run for it, much to the dismay of Timmy and his classmates. Timmy chases after Meowth, followed by everyone else. Meowth is able to make it back to Team Rocket, but he is followed by everyone. Team Rocket recites their motto once more and challenges Ash to a battle. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} while James sends out his Weezing. Ash calls his {{AP|Pidgeotto}} out and Brock helps by using {{TP|Brock|Onix}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Weezing uses {{m|Smog}}, which is easily blown away by Pidgeotto&#039;s {{m|Gust}}, along with Weezing itself. Arbok, however, escapes by using {{m|Dig}}. Arbok popped up in front of the gang, but was {{m|Tackle|tackled}} by Onix. This tackle causes part of the rock on the cliff Arbok slammed into to crumble and roll. Everyone was able to escape with the exception of Ash and Timmy. However, a wild Meowth came out of nowhere, kicking the boulder in two and saving their lives. Timmy immediately recognizes this Meowth as the one that had saved him before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is running atop a second boulder, disappearing from sight while chasing their Meowth, unable to stop rolling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once back at the school, the teacher thanks Ash and his friends for all their help. Timmy proclaims he&#039;s going to become a Pokémon Trainer as well, hinting that the wild Meowth was now his. Finally, our heroes say goodbye to their new friends.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* The correct placement of this episode in chronology is somewhat a mystery because of the episodes airing out of order due to the [[EP038]] seizure incident. The events of this episode take place sometime after &#039;&#039;[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]&#039;&#039;, because {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} is present in this episode; it is estimated to take place either before or after the [[Todd Snap]] arc. &lt;br /&gt;
* This episode was originally scheduled to air on [[wp:Kodomo no hi|Children&#039;s Day]] itself, on May 5, 1998, but was rescheduled in the aftermath of EP038.&lt;br /&gt;
* This episode and [[EP052|the preceding]] air after &#039;&#039;[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]&#039;&#039; in the dub. It aired between &#039;&#039;[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]&#039;&#039; on [[Pocket Monsters Encore]].&lt;br /&gt;
* The events of &#039;&#039;[[EP052|Princess vs Princess]]&#039;&#039; were referenced by Ash in this episode.&lt;br /&gt;
* This episode seems to have a legitimate four-Trainer [[Double Battle]], consisting of Ash and Brock vs. Jessie and James towards the end, though Double Battles didn&#039;t exist until Generation III.&lt;br /&gt;
* This episode is featured on the &#039;&#039;Volume 11: Meowth&#039;&#039; copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Starting with this episode, the dialogue of [[Who&#039;s That Pokémon?]] sounds different from the previous episodes (unless a Pokémon has already been used in a segment).&lt;br /&gt;
** Also, this is so far the only episode in which the Pokémon featured in the segment is a Meowth that is not Team Rocket&#039;s. The next time Meowth appears is in &#039;&#039;[[EP056]The Ultimate Test]&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
* Brock Refrences the &amp;quot;That&#039;s all folks&amp;quot; line at the end of every Looney Toons cartoon. When sending out his Pokémon by saying &amp;quot;that&#039;s &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; all folks&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Errors===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Weezing EP053 error.png|200px|thumb|Weezing&#039;s eyes]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In a scene where the kids throw Weezing around, Weezing&#039;s eyes are missing. However, it could just be that its eyes are not visible from the camera angle.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Major Events ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;d like to comment on a couple of things on this page, starting with the Major Events. I just finished watching this episode, and Horsea does not participate in any battle, so I don&#039;t know if it&#039;s accurate to say it knows &amp;quot;bubble&amp;quot;. It&#039;s true that there is a scene where bubbles are all around a fountain, Horsea is in it (with other Pokémon around), and is assumed Horsea is making those bubbles, but I wouldn&#039;t call that a &amp;quot;bubble&amp;quot; attack. It&#039;s not even obvious that it&#039;s Horsea doing the bubbles to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, in the Trivia section, it claims that this episode happens after Princess vs Princess, which is true since Togepi is hatched, but the reference to that episode may be dub only. [[User:Raven-14|Raven-14]] 03:03, 13 October 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:Well, I guess someone with access to the original episode should check on a few things. Horsea could have been shown using bubble in the original. &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:gray&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;--&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;[[User:LimeGreenCharizard|&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:green&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;LimeGreen&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;]][[User talk:LimeGreenCharizard|&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:darkorange&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Charizard&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;]]&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:gray&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;--&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; 06:27, 13 October 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The rock ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;When the wild Meowth comes to save Timmy and Ash by kicking the rock, it breaks in two. In the next scene, it becomes one again.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It could simply be two different rocks. [[User:Nick Walrus|Nick Walrus]] 00:16, 17 November 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Dexter says Lickitongue&#039;s tongue can become more than twice the length of his body. But in the Master-test Ash had 0% correct eventough he answered the question about Licki right. This ep is in chronological order before the test and Farfetch&#039;d ep. But is this one also and after the TOgepi hatching ep? I haven&#039;t seen Togepi in this one.
