(Japanese: '''祝15周年！ポケモン映画名シーン超ランキングスペシャル!!''' ''{{tt|Pocket Monsters|Pokémon}} Creating 15th Anniversary Celebration! A Super Ranking Special on Noteworthy Movie Scenes!!'') is an [[List of animated series specials|animated series special]] that aired in Japan on August 16, 2012 as part of [[Best Wishes! Season 2]]. It features [[Team Rocket]] ranking the [[Pokémon movie]]s in celebration of their 15th anniversary as well as a live performance of [[Look Look☆Here]] from the [[Pikachu the Live 2012 concert]].

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
The episode begins with the [[narrator]] explaining the anniversary and the ranking. He talks about the anime’s movie history, while images from [[M01]] to [[M14]] as well as from the recently released [[M15]] and [[PK24]] are shown. He explains that today we will look back on the movies by ranking their most noteworthy scenes. When he is about to begin, however, [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] highjacks the program and explains that they will be the ones doing the ranking instead, based on their personal preferences. They are standing in a brightly decorated studio, with a poster with a pink R behind them and tall flowers at the sides.

The first ranking is about which main movie pokémon the Team Rocket Trio would like to catch the most. The ranking, which is accompanied by movie clips, is as follows:

* 5: [[Arceus (M12)|Arceus]] from [[M12]] due to its great power.
* 4: [[Darkrai (M10)|Darkrai]] from [[M10]] because it was moving how it protected the town.
* 3: [[Jirachi (M06)|Jirachi]] from [[M06]] because it can grant wishes and therefore summon food.
* 2: [[Celebi (M04)|Celebi]] from [[M04]] because James wants to use its time travel ability to see different eras.
* 1: [[Mew (M08)|Mew]] from [[M08]] due to its rarity and its ability to transform.

James ends the ranking by saying they are in fact not up to the challenge to catch them, which Jessie takes offense with. They then continue saying that from the current M15 and PK24 Jessie and James would like to catch [[Kyurem (M15)|Kyurem]] while Meowth would like to catch the heart of [[Meloetta (anime)|Meloetta.]]

The next ranking is about their favorite movie scenes starring themselves. The ranking is as follows:

* 3: M01: Getting involved in the clone fight, and specifically Meowth and his clone choosing not to fight, and instead talking about the moon.
* 2: M04: Jessie getting captured by the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], or as she puts it, jumping in there on purpose and facing him on her own; and then saving [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and [[Sam]] by stopping their fall.
* 1: [[M02]]: Helping Ash to assemble the three treasures with the help of their motor-driven inflatable raft and therefore helping to save the world.

Team Rocket then mentions that they will make short, hidden appearances in M15 as well, before continuing with the next ranking, which is about the movie scenes that made them laugh the most.

* 10: [[M05]]: Ash participates in the [[Tour de Alto Mare]] and crashes into the river due to the invisible [[Latios (M05)|Latios]].
* 9: [[M09]]: [[Manaphy (M09)|Manaphy]] crashes into the submarine’s window.
* 8: [[M13]]: [[Zorua (M13)|Zorua]] transforms into Ash.
* 7: M12: [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] falls into a kitchen and gets a bowel stuck on his head.
* 6: M14: [[Victini (M14)|Victini]] chokes on the macaron it has stolen from Ash.
* 5: [[M11]]: [[Dawn's Mamoswine|Dawn’s Swinub]] keeps eating its meal while Shaymin causes a commotion.
* 4: [[M07]]: [[May's Munchlax]] tries to kick a plastic bottle into a trash can, fails on the first try, manages it on the second.
* 3: M10: The friend group climbs the [[Space-Time Towers]], Ash rushes in front of the others and therefore misses the balloon the others ride to the top.
* 2: M01: Team Rocket gives Ash and his friends a ride with their boat while dressed as Vikings and Meowth dressed as the boat’s figurehead.
* 1: M09: Team Rocket’s bodies get switched because they touch Manaphy’s egg.

Back in the studio, Jessie, James and Meowth are fighting about who is most responsible for their failures. Then they explain that M15 and PK24 are funny as well, giving as examples a movie scene where Ash and his friends’ pokémon are acting silly on a train and PK24 in general.

The final ranking is about which movie scene’s made Team Rocket cry the most.

* 3: [[M03]]: [[Entei (M03)|Entei]] breaks the [[Unown (M03)|Unown]]’s barrier, saving [[Molly Hale|Molly]] from the fantasy world and telling her to keep him in her dreams.
* 2: M06: Ash and his friends say goodbye to Jirachi. Jessie comments that even if you know a farewell is coming, it is still painful.
* 1: M08: With the help of a [[time flower]], [[Lucario (M08)|Lucario]] watches as [[Sir Aaron]] sacrifices himself and calls Lucario his friend.

Back in the studio, Team Rocket is crying. Next, they say that M15 will have many emotional scenes as well. Their first example is the scene where [[Keldeo (M15)|Keldeo]] manages to turn into his Resolute Form, their second is the scene in the end where the [[Swords of Justice (M15)|Swords of Justice]] recite their oath together with Keldeo.

Team Rocket then advertises the song [[Look Look☆Here]] from PK24 and a live performance of the song from the [[Pikachu the Live 2012 concert]] is shown. Team Rocket ends the special by saying that they will be the stars of the next year’s movie.

* All of the movies from M01 to M14 have managed to make it into the rankings.

(Japanese: '''祝15周年！ポケモン映画名シーン超ランキングスペシャル!!''' ''{{tt|Pocket Monsters|Pokémon}} Creating 15th Anniversary Celebration! A Super Ranking Special on Noteworthy Movie Scenes!!'') is an [[List of animated series specials|animated series special]] that aired in Japan on August 16, 2012 as part of [[Best Wishes! Season 2]]. It features [[Team Rocket]] ranking the [[Pokémon movie]]s in celebration of their 15th anniversary as well as a live performance of [[Look Look☆Here]] from the [[Pikachu the Live 2012 concert]].

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
The episode begins with the [[narrator]] explaining the anniversary and the ranking. He talks about the anime’s movie history, while images from [[M01]] to [[M14]] as well as from the recently released [[M15]] and [[PK24]] are shown. He explains that today we will look back on the movies by ranking their most noteworthy scenes. When he is about to begin, however, [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] highjacks the program and explains that they will be the ones doing the ranking instead, based on their personal preferences. They are standing in a brightly decorated studio, with a poster with a pink R behind them and tall flowers at the sides.

The first ranking is about which main movie pokémon the Team Rocket Trio would like to catch the most. The ranking, which is accompanied by movie clips, is as follows:

- 5: [[Arceus (M12)|Arceus]] from [[M12]] due to its great power.

- 4: [[Darkrai (M10)|Darkrai]] from [[M10]] because it was moving how it protected the town.

- 3: [[Jirachi (M06)|Jirachi]] from [[M06]] because it can grant wishes and therefore summon food.

- 2: [[Celebi (M04)|Celebi]] from [[M04]] because James wants to use its time travel ability to see different eras.

- 1: [[Mew (M08)|Mew]] from [[M08]] due to its rarity and its ability to transform.

James ends the ranking by saying they are in fact not up to the challenge to catch them, which Jessie takes offense with. They then continue saying that from the current M15 and PK24 Jessie and James would like to catch [[Kyurem (M15)|Kyurem]] while Meowth would like to catch the heart of [[Meloetta (anime)|Meloetta.]]

The next ranking is about their favorite movie scenes starring themselves. The ranking is as follows:

- 3: M01: Getting involved in the clone fight, and specifically Meowth and his clone choosing not to fight, and instead talking about the moon.

- 2: M04: Jessie getting captured by the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], or as she puts it, jumping in there on purpose and facing him on her own; and then saving [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and [[Sam]] by stopping their fall.

- 1: [[M02]]: Helping Ash to assemble the three treasures with the help of their motor-driven inflatable raft and therefore helping to save the world.

Team Rocket then mentions that they will make short, hidden appearances in M15 as well, before continuing with the next ranking, which is about the movie scenes that made them laugh the most.

- 10: [[M05]]: Ash participates in the [[Tour de Alto Mare]] and crashes into the river due to the invisible [[Latios (M05)|Latios]].

- 9: [[M09]]: [[Manaphy (M09)|Manaphy]] crashes into the submarine’s window.

- 8: [[M13]]: [[Zorua (M13)|Zorua]] transforms into Ash.

- 7: M12: [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] falls into a kitchen and gets a bowel stuck on his head.

- 6: M14: [[Victini (M14)|Victini]] chokes on the macaron it has stolen from Ash.

- 5: [[M11]]: [[Dawn's Mamoswine|Dawn’s Swinub]] keeps eating its meal while Shaymin causes a commotion.

- 4: [[M07]]: [[May's Munchlax]] tries to kick a plastic bottle into a trash can, fails on the first try, manages it on the second.

- 3: M10: The friend group climbs the [[Space-Time Towers]], Ash rushes in front of the others and therefore misses the balloon the others ride to the top.

- 2: M01: Team Rocket gives Ash and his friends a ride with their boat while dressed as Vikings and Meowth dressed as the boat’s figurehead.

- 1: M09: Team Rocket’s bodies get switched because they touch Manaphy’s egg.

Back in the studio, Jessie, James and Meowth are fighting about who is most responsible for their failures. Then they explain that M15 and PK24 are funny as well, giving as examples a movie scene where Ash and his friends’ pokémon are acting silly on a train and PK24 in general.

The final ranking is about which movie scene’s made Team Rocket cry the most.

- 3: [[M03]]: [[Entei (M03)|Entei]] breaks the [[Unown (M03)|Unown]]’s barrier, saving [[Molly Hale|Molly]] from the fantasy world and telling her to keep him in her dreams.

- 2: M06: Ash and his friends say goodbye to Jirachi. Jessie comments that even if you know a farewell is coming, it is still painful.

- 1: M08: With the help of a [[time flower]], [[Lucario (M08)|Lucario]] watches as [[Sir Aaron]] sacrifices himself and calls Lucario his friend.

Back in the studio, Team Rocket is crying. Next, they say that M15 will have many emotional scenes as well. Their first example is the scene where [[Keldeo (M15)|Keldeo]] manages to turn into his Resolute Form, their second is the scene in the end where the [[Swords of Justice (M15)|Swords of Justice]] recite their oath together with Keldeo.

Team Rocket then advertises more pokémon events, like the song [[Look Look☆Here]] from PK24. A live performance of the song is then shown. Team Rocket ends the special by saying that they will be the stars of the next year’s movie.

==Blurb==

The Pokémon Summer Academy is almost over, but there's one more event left: the Pokémon Triathlon! Each Trainer will use two random Pokémon to race to a nearby lake and cross, then run on foot back to the Academy. Ash's Red Team is currently last in the overall points, but each Red Team member's points in this event will be added to the total score. So the race begins and the campers take off, led by Ash on a Spoink and Dawn on Dodrio. However, Ash's rival Angie has her Ariados sling some webs to swing her into first place. Once they reach the lake, Angie gets a Lapras, Ash gets a Mantyke, and the two remain ahead of the pack.

Jessie is dead last until a speedy Magikarp helps her move up several places. Conway decides to follow her, but Jessie thinks he's so creepy that she runs like the wind to get away from him. She even speeds past Ash and Angie, but Conway won't give up—so she has Seviper use Poison Tail to drive off Conway.

Battling is against the Triathlon rules, but before Ash and Angie can protest, Seviper's Poison Tail knocks Angie and her Shinx into a pit! By the time Ash pulls Angie to safety, Jessie and Conway are long gone.

However, Conway and Jessie are exhausted by the time they reach the Academy. Ash and Angie easily pass them, and Ash just manages to beat Angie to the finish line. Once everyone is done and the points are totaled, the Red Team has come from behind to win the overall award! Everyone celebrates the final night of camp with a bonfire, and Ash promises to visit Angie in Solaceon Town. But first things first: the next morning, he and his friends are off to Celestic Town for a Pokémon Contest!

==Plot==
[[Professor Rowan]] says that the last event will be the [[Pokémon Triathlon]], and {{Ash}} gets pumped up. He begins talking to {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Angie]] about how he will win, when Angie buts in that she'll win. Dawn has to separate the two and Ash wishes Angie good luck by extending his hand for a handshake. Angie blushes, remembering [[DP090|how Ash saved her]], and runs away. Ash is clueless as always about what just happened and begins prepping for the race. [[Conway]] pops up and has a talk with Dawn before running off as Rowan and [[Nurse Joy]] approach Ash and {{ashfr}}. Brock launches into the usual routine before {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} stops him. Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] is busy getting pampered and reassures her team that they'll win while {{MTR}} and [[James]] continue their duties.

The race is about to start, so Dawn recalls {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and Angie recalls {{p|Shinx}}. An aide fires the starting pistol and Jessie quickly takes the lead. She easily reaches the first checkpoint and receives a {{p|Hippowdon}}. Jessie begins arguing with the aide over Hippowdon's {{stat|Speed}} while Ash and company reach the checkpoint. Ash, Dawn, Brock and Angie receive {{p|Spoink}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, {{p|Onix}}, and {{p|Ariados}} respectively and begin the first leg. Jessie finally starts out as other Trainers catch up and is propelled forward by Hippowdon's surprising speed. Back at the school, Rowan and the others monitor the race. With the race, Dawn has taken the lead with Ash closely following when Angie uses {{m|String Shot}} to propel herself into first. Picking up on this, many {{pkmn|Trainer}}s begin attacking each other. Conway takes advantage of this to pass them on {{p|Dugtrio}}.

Angie reaches the second checkpoint and trades Ariados for a {{p|Lapras}}. Ash closely follows, having passed Dawn, and receives a {{p|Mantyke}}. While Dawn and Brock trade for their Pokémon, Ash catches up to Angie when she again takes the lead with {{m|Ice Beam}}. Brock and Dawn, riding their {{p|Feraligatr}} and {{p|Sharpedo}} are passed by Conway and {{p|Floatzel}} and look on as he passes them. Jessie finally reaches the second checkpoint and argues with the aide over her position in the race and unfortunately receives a {{p|Magikarp}}. Surprisingly to James and Meowth looking on, Magikarp turns out to be incredibly fast.

In a practical dead heat, Ash and Angie reach the third checkpoint and return their Pokémon. Angie calls out Shinx and the third leg begins with both sprinting towards the end. Conway, Dawn, and Brock are approaching the end when Jessie speeds past them and reaches the third checkpoint. Conway quickly follows and Brock and Dawn follow from behind. Conway congratulates Jessie and somewhat creepily, begins to chase after her with {{p|Slowking}} as she tries to catch up to Ash and Angie. As Ash and Angie enter a cave, Jessie and Conway have managed to catch up with them and Jessie uses {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} to attack them much to their and Conway's surprise. The ground beneath Ash and Angie begins to give way as Conway knocks out Seviper to slow Jessie down. Angie and Shinx barely manage to stop their fall by grabbing on a ledge, when Ash saves Angie again. Ash barely manages to pull Angie up and both sit down for a minute to catch their breath. Ash's relieved expression causes Angie to blush, but she quickly regains her composure when Ash point out that they have to make up a lot of ground and they begin racing again. Running at full speed, Ash and Angie quickly come close to the finish line where Jessie and Conway are exhaustively closing in. Seeing them approach, Jessie and Conway try to finish the race but due to their fighting, they are completely out of energy. Ash and Angie race for the finish and Ash wins by a nose. Ash begins celebrating while Angie has a moment of quiet thought. As other competitors cross the finish line, Conway and Jessie crawl across it and collapse.

The victory gave the Red team just enough points to win the challenge and all of the members receive a plaque after Rowan makes a quick speech. As a final celebration for the end of the {{pkmn|Summer Academy}} a bonfire is lit and a buffet laid out. James and Meowth have a conversation about how they had a nice experience while Jessie stuffs her face and says goodbye to the students who waited on her hand and foot. Over by the gate, Angie is sitting, looking at the stars when Ash comes over. Angie asks Ash why he saved her, and Ash, clueless to her crush on him, replies that he is her friend, making her look a little disappointed. Angie and Ash end their rivalry on a note of friendship. In the morning, everyone bids goodbye to their friends and Ash and his friends wave to Angie before heading towards [[Celestic Town]] and Dawn's next [[Pokémon Contest]].

* The episode's English [[dub]] title is a reference to one of {{wp|Dr. Seuss}}'s storybooks, ''{{wp|One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish}}''.
** Coincidentally, in the days of its air-date in Japan, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon '''Red''' and Pokémon '''Blue''']], the '''first''' and '''second''' Pokémon games, in which the player must get a '''team''' of Pokémon, had their 10th anniversary in the U.S.
** [http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-11/episode-39-go-team-go/ Pokémon.com's listing] of [[S11|Pokémon: Battle Dimension]] episodes previously listed the episode under the alternate title of '''Go Team Go!''', but the URL still redirects to there.
*** The DVD that contains this episode also lists it under this alternate title.
* This is the only episode of the Summer Academy arc to feature any of {{an|Brock}}'s Pokémon.
* [[Nurse Joy]]'s appearance broke one of Brock's longest non-girl flirting streaks.
* [[Angie]] rode a Lapras on water frozen with {{m|Ice Beam}}, much like Ash did with his {{AP|Lapras}} against [[Cissy]] in ''[[EP085|Fit to be Tide]]''.
* {{p|Dodrio}} was shown as a fast runner on ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]''. During this episode, it is not.
* Despite {{p|Seviper}} weighing more than {{tt|115 lbs|‪52.16312 kg‬}}, [[Jessie]] is able to drag it while running. This is an example of [[anime physics]].
* In this episode, the whole [[TRT| Team Rocket Trio]] doesn't even share one scene together. [[Jessie]] doesn't interact with [[James]] and {{MTR}} at all.
* This episode, along with the other episodes in the Summer Academy arc, were adapted into the book {{book|Pokémon Academy}}.

===Errors===
* During one scene, {{p|Feraligatr}}'s lower jaw is colored blue.
* {{p|Garchomp}}'s eye coloring is reversed in one scene.
* The red circles on {{p|Mantyke}}'s back are missing in one scene with Ash.
* Jessie's sandals are flats when she picks up {{p|Hippowdon}}. Then, she is wearing small heels as she and Conway are approaching the finish line.
* In the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dub, when the triathlon is over, Yuzo says that the Red Team took the first place from the Green Team, not the Blue Team.

[[Professor Rowan]] says that the last event will be the [[Pokémon Triathlon]], and {{Ash}} gets pumped up. He begins talking to {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Angie]] about how he will win, when Angie buts in that she'll win. Dawn has to separate the two and Ash wishes Angie good luck by extending his hand for a handshake. Angie blushes, remembering [[DP090|how Ash saved her]], and runs away.

Ash's relieved expression causes Angie to blush, but she quickly regains her composure when Ash point out that they have to make up a lot of ground and they begin racing again. Running at full speed, Ash and Angie quickly come close to the finish line where Jessie and Conway are exhaustively closing in. Seeing them approach, Jessie and Conway try to finish the race but due to their fighting, they are completely out of energy. Ash and Angie race for the finish and Ash wins by a nose. Ash begins celebrating while Angie has a moment of quiet thought. As other competitors cross the finish line, Conway and Jessie crawl across it and collapse.

The victory gave the Red team just enough points to win the challenge and all of the members receive a plaque after Rowan makes a quick speech. As a final celebration for the end of the {{pkmn|Summer Academy}} a bonfire is lit and a buffet laid out. James and Meowth have a conversation about how they had a nice experience while Jessie stuffs her face and says goodbye to the students who waited on her hand and foot. Over by the gate, Angie is sitting, looking at the stars when Ash comes over. Angie asks Ash why he saved her, and Ash, clueless to her crush on him, replies that he is her friend, making her look a little disappointed. Angie and Ash end their rivalry on a note of friendship. In the morning, everyone bids goodbye to their friends and Ash and his friends wave to Angie before heading towards [[Celestic Town]] and Dawn's next [[Pokémon Contest]].

* [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]]: {{p|Staraptor}}
* Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia returns after a fifteen-episode-long absence.
* This episode concludes the four-part [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] arc.
* [[Pokémon Symphonic Medley]] and [[To My Best Friend]] are both used as background music.
* {{TRT}} narrates the preview for [[DP092|the next episode]].
* The episode's English [[dub]] title is a reference to one of {{wp|Dr. Seuss}}'s storybooks, ''{{wp|One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish}}''.
** Coincidentally, in the days of its air-date in Japan, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon '''Red''' and Pokémon '''Blue''']], the '''first''' and '''second''' Pokémon games, in which the player must get a '''team''' of Pokémon, had their 10th anniversary in the U.S.
** [http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-11/episode-39-go-team-go/ Pokémon.com's listing] of [[S11|Pokémon: Battle Dimension]] episodes previously listed the episode under the alternate title of '''Go Team Go!''', but the URL still redirects to there.
*** The DVD that contains this episode also lists it under this alternate title.
* This is the only episode of the Summer Academy arc to feature any of {{an|Brock}}'s Pokémon.
* [[Nurse Joy]]'s appearance broke one of Brock's longest non-girl flirting streaks.
* [[Angie]] rode a Lapras on water frozen with {{m|Ice Beam}}, much like Ash did with his {{AP|Lapras}} against [[Cissy]] in ''[[EP085|Fit to be Tide]]''.
* {{p|Dodrio}} was shown as a fast runner on ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]''. During this episode, it is not.
* Despite {{p|Seviper}} weighing more than {{tt|115 lbs|‪52.16312 kg‬}}, [[Jessie]] is able to drag it while running. This is an example of [[anime physics]].
* In this episode, the whole {{TRT}} Trio doesn't even share one scene together. [[Jessie]] doesn't interact with [[James]] and {{MTR}} at all.
* This episode, along with the other episodes in the Summer Academy arc, were adapted into the book {{book|Pokémon Academy}}.

===Errors===
* During one scene, {{p|Feraligatr}}'s lower jaw is colored blue.
* {{p|Garchomp}}'s eye coloring is reversed in one scene.
* The red circles on {{p|Mantyke}}'s back are missing in one scene with Ash.
* Jessie's sandals are flats when she picks up {{p|Hippowdon}}. Then, she is wearing small heels as she and Conway are approaching the finish line.
* In the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dub, when the triathlon is over, Yuzo says that the Red Team took the first place from the Green Team, not the Blue Team.

==Blurb==

When it's late and there's no Pokémon Center nearby, Dawn comes up with the solution: a visit to a nearby hot spring hotel, owned by the parents of her old friend Leona! Dawn and her friends arrive at the hotel ready for a relaxing soak in the springs, only to find Leona and her three Swinub in crisis mode because the spring water has stopped flowing. Now Leona is counting on her Swinub to use their superb sense of smell and sniff out another hot spring source.

With Dawn and her friends along to help, Leona follows the Swinub to the site of a new hot spring hotel. The construction workers are Team Rocket in disguise, and they claim to have found this spring water on their own. Leona notices the spring water here is just like the water back home, leading her to suspect they've been tapping into her hotel's pipeline. Right on cue, a Wooper shows up with the proof she needs to prove this "new" spring really is just the diverted water from her family's hot spring!

Team Rocket throws aside their disguises and unleashes a new robot, the Badabing Super Soaker Number Six. The robot is no match for Dawn and Leona's teamwork, and once Team Rocket is dealt with, the hot spring can start to flow again. But first, Dawn and Leona, using Piplup and Swinub, have a Tag Battle against Brock and Ash, who use Sudowoodo and Chimchar. After a frosty draw, everyone heads to the hot springs for a great soak to psych themselves up for the adventures ahead!

==Plot==
As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} continue to travel, Ash is still hard at work {{pkmn|training}} his {{AP|Turtwig}} in using {{m|Energy Ball}}. Turtwig charges the sphere and proceeds to launch it, but the sphere dissipates beforehand. Turtwig is upset, but Ash encourages it to try again. {{an|Brock}} asks for him to hold off until they reach the next town, in order to get there before dark. Ash recalls Turtwig and looks forward to a hot bath at the next [[Pokémon Center]], but Brock checks his guidebook and finds no Center in the next town. {{an|Dawn}} suggests that they go to a hot spring that she knows about, one that allows {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to enjoy it as well. She mentions that one of her best friends lives at a hot spring hotel, so they start heading that way.

Outside the hotel, a girl talks to her {{p|Swinub}} in helping her out. Dawn calls out her name, [[Leona]], Dawn's childhood friend. Leona happens to call her Dee-Dee, which upsets Dawn, but Leona is still happy to see her. When asked about how business is going, Leona admits that it has been sluggish. Leona remembers watching Dawn's [[DP061|most recent]] {{pkmn|Contest}} performance, which slightly upsets Dawn. Dawn introduces Leona to Ash and Brock, mentioning that she met Dawn in Kindergarten. Hearing that Leona is a {{pkmn|Trainer}} as well, Ash asks her for a {{pkmn|battle}}, but Leona doesn't have the time. Dawn is eager to jump in the hot spring, but before Leona can say anything, they're off.

They find the hot spring, with Ash jumping in first, but they find the pool shallow and cold. Leona mentions that the spring is not running because a week ago, the spring suddenly stopped receiving water. Since the spring is fed from a pipeline leading down from the mountain, [[Leona's parents]] decided to hike up and inspect it. Leona admits that if the situation doesn't change soon, the hotel will have to close. Leona is planning to use her Swinub to find another hot spring, which Dawn checks with her [[Pokédex]]. The Swinub even know how to use {{m|Dig}}. The thought of Leona raising her Pokémon makes Dawn reflect on her kindergarten days when Leona comforted her about when a young boy proceeded to bully others and hog a Jungle Gym to himself, standing at the top like a ruler. It gives Dawn the plan for them to work together to find the hot spring. Leona's Swinub take the lead as they pike up a scent of a hot spring.

At a newer hot spring, a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] {{TRT}} takes pride in their work, wanting to open their business, as well as plans to let {{an|Giovanni}} have it. Leona's Swinub lead Ash and his friends to a source of steam. When they get there, they notice that a new hotel is being built with a freshly dug hot spring. Team Rocket notices them nearby as {{MTR}} put sunglasses on and proceeds to push them off the property. Leona confronts them about the hotel. Meowth tells a story about them digging out the hot spring by hand. Leona can tell that the water is exactly the same as their hot spring water, just by sense. She believes that they have been diverting her hot spring water to use as their own. [[Jessie]] asks her for proof of possession about the water, which Leona knows will be difficult. Brock theorizes that if they tapped into the same water source that Leona's family does, but with a different pipe, it would not matter. It appears that Team rocket has won, when suddenly a {{p|Wooper}} appears from the pipe, with a transponder on its tail.

Ash checks the Wooper as Leona recognizes it as one that belongs to her parents. Leona's parents show up as they mention that when they checked their pipeline, the found another pipe attached directly to theirs, diverting water away from their hot spring. They sent the Wooper along the line to see where it led; revealing that the hot spring has been stolen. Team Rocket loses their disguises and recites their {{motto}}. Meowth pushes a switch and summons a [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]], firing water blasts at Ash and his friends. {{AP|Pikachu}} wants to launch a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but since everyone is soaking wet, Pikachu is forced to switch to {{m|Iron Tail}}, but Pikachu slips on the wet mecha, unable to make contact.

Dawn has another flashback about how she and Leona took down the bully before, so they decide to apply that tactic. Leona has her Swinub dig and cause the three-legged mecha to tumble and spill its water all over itself, heating it up. [[Dawn's Buneary]] then uses {{m|Ice Beam}} to quickly chill it, causing it to crack. The mecha tumbles backwards into Team Rocket and explodes, sending them blasting off. Dawn and Leona celebrate as Leona's parents insist that they stay for the spring, working to fix it.

Back at the hotel, Leona offers a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]], Ash and Brock against Dawn and Leona. [[Ash's Chimchar]] and [[Brock's Sudowoodo]] square off against Leona's Swinub and [[Dawn's Piplup]]. Swinub tries to {{m|Tackle}} Sudowoodo, but it dodges. Piplup tries to {{m|Peck}} Chimchar, but it {{m|Scratch}}es Piplup down. Dawn and Leona team up as they switch targets, Swinub's {{m|Ice Shard}} against Chimchar with Piplup's {{m|Bubble Beam}} against Sudowoodo. Both dodge as Chimchar launches {{m|Flamethrower}}, both dodging. Chimchar tries {{m|Flame Wheel}} on Swinub, but Piplup takes the lead, triggering another flashback memory and tactic.

It appears that Chimchar hit, but neither target is to be seen. That's because Swinub dug underground, taking Piplup with it, springing up to hit Chimchar. Piplup hits with {{m|Whirlpool}}, soaking Chimchar. Ash and Brock feel the pressure as Dawn and Leona use the tactics that allowed them to take care of the bully. Piplup fires Bubble Beam at Chimchar, hitting, as Swinub launches {{m|Blizzard}}. Sudowoodo hits Swinub with {{m|Double-Edge}}, but the Blizzard hits Chimchar. Sudowoodo proceeds to {{m|Mimic}} the Blizzard as Swinub launches Blizzard, both sides getting hit. The end result shocks all as all four Pokémon have been {{status|freeze|frozen}}, resulting in a tie. They decide to end the day with the hot spring.

With the hot spring repaired, Ash and his friends as well as the Pokémon enjoy the hot spring. The Pokémon play and rest, Chimchar sitting with its tail above water while Sudowoodo sits near the steam without soaking its body. {{AP|Buizel}} punches a flowing water stream. Leona praises them both as Ash decides to ask Leona about why Dawn is called Dee-Dee, but before she can respond, Dawn pushes her down, keeping the secret locked up. The next day, Ash and his friends leave the hot spring and wave Leona and her parents good bye, Dawn's confidence restored as well.

'''Pokémon: DP Galactic Battles''' is the twelfth [[season]] of the [[dub]]bed version of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It is the third season of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. It follows {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} as they continue their travels throughout the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], gathering [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s and {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]]s while accompanied by {{an|Brock}}. Unlike previous seasons in the dub, there was no break between this season and the previous one.

It originally aired in {{pmin|the United States}} as part of the 2009-2010 Cartoon Network Saturday morning lineup. It began on May 9, 2009 with the dub premiere ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'', and concluded on May 15, 2010 with ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]''. This season skipped [[DP120]] due to it being a [[clip show]].

It is preceded by [[S11|Pokémon: DP Battle Dimension]] and succeeded by [[S13|Pokémon: DP Sinnoh League Victors]].

==Blurb==

''As the menace of Team Galactic continues to loom over the Sinnoh region, Ash and Dawn keep getting caught up in the schemes of this mysterious group of villains—as well as facing some other unexpected challenges! Dawn’s got her hands full dealing with the many problems of her Pokémon, while Ash’s ongoing rivalry with Paul finally comes to a head in a full 6-on-6 battle! It might be the ultimate test of training styles—will our heroes come out on top?''

'''Pokémon: DP Battle Dimension''' is the eleventh [[season]] of the [[dub]]bed version of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It is the second season of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. It follows {{Ash}} as he continues gathering [[Badge]]s in [[Sinnoh]], and {{an|Dawn}} as she continues gathering [[Ribbon]]s.

It originally aired in {{pmin|the United States}} as part of the 2008-2009 {{wp|Cartoon Network}} Saturday morning lineup. It began on April 12, 2008 with the dub premiere ''[[DP053|Tears for Fears!]]'', and concluded on May 2, 2009 with ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]''. This season began a new trend, similar to that in Japan where one episode is aired most weeks; there was no break between this season and the next one.

It also began airing on digital TV's {{wp|Jetix}} in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}} in late 2008; on {{wp|Freeview (UK)|UK Freeview}}, on January 5, 2009, simultaneously on {{wp|CITV}} and {{wp|ITV4}}; and on {{wp|YTV}} in {{pmin|Canada}} owned by {{wp|Corus Entertainment}} on March 2, 2009.

It is preceded by [[S10|Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]] and succeeded by [[S12|Pokémon: DP Galactic Battles]].

==Blurb==

''It’s looking good for Ash as he works on his next three Gym Badges, but not so good for Dawn, coming off a pair of Contest defeats. Both will do what they can to become better Trainers, from entering the Wallace Cup competition to attending Professor Rowan’s Pokémon Summer Academy. Hopefully, the new tactics they pick up will give them the tools they need to succeed against the latest plot by Pokémon Hunter J—as well as the emerging threat of Team Galactic!''

'''Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl''' is the tenth [[season]] of the [[dub]]bed version of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It follows the fourth and final dubbed season of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', and as such is the first dubbed season of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. It follows {{Ash}} as he begins his journey in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], along with his old friend {{an|Brock}} and a new girl named {{an|Dawn}}. Ash continues to challenge [[Gym]]s, while Dawn competes in [[Pokémon Contest]]s.

It began with ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', which first aired in sequence on June 4, 2007 (having been part of a "preview" of Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl more than half a month earlier, close to the release of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}) in {{pmin|the United States}}, and ended with ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'' which originally aired on February 1, 2008. The season skips [[DP048]] due to that episode being a [[clip show]]. It originally aired in the United States as part of the 2007-2008 Cartoon Network Saturday morning lineup.

It is preceded by [[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] and succeeded by [[S11|Pokémon: DP Battle Dimension]].

==Blurb==

''If Gary Oak is headed for the Sinnoh region, then Ash Ketchum won’t be far behind!

Both Ash and Dawn struggle with their respective paths, but it’s easy for them to make new friends, gaining new Pokémon like Turtwig and Piplup.''

'''Vivian Meridian''' (Japanese: '''ビビアン''' ''Vivian'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. She is the [[Contest announcer|master of ceremonies]] of [[Hoenn]] [[Pokémon Contest]]s and the older sister of [[Lilian Meridian]]. She first appeared in ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]''.

==History==
Vivian debuted in ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]'', where she hosted the [[Slateport City]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. During the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], she helped {{an|May}} get back up on her feet after she fell down while trying to send out her {{TP|May|Beautifly}}.

[[File:Kanto Grand Festival Judges.png|thumb|left|250px|Vivian in the panel of judges]]
In ''[[AG051|Come What May!]]'', after [[Raoul Contesta]] disqualified [[Jessie]] of the {{to|Fallarbor}} Contest for cheating, Vivian apologized to the audience for the inconvenience.

In ''[[AG078|Cruisin' for a Losin']]'', Vivian hosted the [[Rank (Contest)|R1]] {{to|Rubello}} Contest, which only accepted entrants who had previously earned at least one [[Ribbon]]. Upon noticing that [[Savannah]] was nervous, Vivian encouraged her by giving her a push. In the second round, Vivian showed concern for [[May's Bulbasaur]], who had a case of {{wp|stage fright}}.

She was seen in a flashback in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} went to talk to her sister [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]] at the [[Saffron City]] [[Contest Hall]].

During the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], which took place from ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'' to ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]'' and was held at [[Indigo Plateau]], Vivian joined [[Raoul Contesta]], [[Mr. Sukizo]], and [[Nurse Joy]] in the [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]]. After the [[Contest Battle]] between {{an|May}} and [[Drew]] in the quarter-finals, she mentioned that she had been watching both of them since their days in [[Hoenn]] and that she was very impressed by their techniques.

==Character==
[[File:Vivian Lilycove Ribbon.png|thumb|220px|Vivian showing the {{ci|Lilycove}} [[Ribbon]]]]
Vivian is the older sister of [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]], the [[Contest announcer|master of ceremonies]] of [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Contest]]s. Although the two look very similar and share the same occupation, they are drastically different in terms of personality. While Lilian has a bubbly and cheerful personality, Vivian is classy and graceful. According to Lilian, even if they dress so differently from each other, they are still mistaken for one another.

Vivian has high enthusiasm for her job as an announcer. She is in charge of hosting all the [[Hoenn]] Pokémon Contests sanctioned by the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]] and the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]] as well. For this reason, she has appeared in a number of {{cat|episodes with Contests}} during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. She conducts every competition in a formal and punctilious way, much like the host of an award ceremony.

'''Lilian Meridian''' (Japanese: '''リリアン''' ''Lilian'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. She is the [[Contest announcer|master of ceremonies]] of [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Contest]]s and the younger sister of [[Vivian Meridian]]. She first appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]''.

==History==
[[File:Lillian Casual Clothes.png|180px|thumb|left|Lilian in casual clothing]]
Lilian debuted in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', where she was seen testing the lighting equipment of the [[Saffron City]] [[Contest Hall]]. She commanded her {{p|Espeon}} to display its [[move]]s to make sure the stage lights were working properly. The performance was watched by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, who were visiting the Saffron Hall so {{an|May}} could have a look at the stage. May initially mistook her for [[Vivian Meridian|Vivian]], but she revealed that she is actually Vivian's younger sister, and that people often confuse the two of them.

Later, Lilian witnessed May and her {{TP|May|Squirtle}} sending [[James]] and {{MTR}} blasting off after their attempt to steal the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} belonging to the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s who were entering the Saffron Contest. The next day she encountered May in the lobby of the Saffron Hall and, upon noticing that she was sad, asked her what had happened. After hearing that May had been misinformed about using her [[Hoenn]] [[Contest Pass]] in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] and the registration deadline, Lilian asked the clerk in the registration desk to issue May a Kanto [[Contest Pass]] and to accept her entry as there would be no Pokémon Contest if it were not for May rescuing the participants' Pokémon.

In ''[[AG144|A Hurdle for Squirtle]]'', during the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] of the Saffron Contest, Lilian issued both [[Jessie|Jessebella]] and Harley a {{wp|Penalty card|yellow card}} as neither of them was giving commands to their Pokémon. This subtracted half the points from both Coordinators' scores and set the battle in motion, as Harley subsequently asked his {{p|Ariados}} to use {{m|String Shot}} on [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Jessebella's Wobbuffet]].

Following May's loss to Harley in the final round of the {{to|Wisteria}} Contest in ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]'', Lilian informed her that a Pokémon Contest was scheduled to take place on [[Chrysanthemum Island]]. She also handed May an unsigned letter from [[Brianna]].

While hosting the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], which was held at [[Indigo Plateau]] and took place from ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'' to ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]'', Lilian had the help of a reporter named Jessadia, actually [[Team Rocket]]'s Jessie [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|in disguise]]. During the competition, Lilian was able to interact with her sister Vivian, who had been invited to join the [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]] as a special guest judge.

==Character==
[[File:Lilian Saffron Ribbon.png|thumb|220px|Lilian showing the Saffron Ribbon]]
Lilian is the younger sister of [[Vivian Meridian|Vivian]], the [[Contest announcer|master of ceremonies]] of [[Hoenn]] [[Pokémon Contest]]s. Although the two look very similar and share the same occupation, they are drastically different in terms of personality. While Vivian is classy and graceful, Lilian has a bubbly and cheerful personality. According to Lilian, even if they dress so differently from each other, they are still mistaken for one another.

Lilian is responsible for hosting all of the Kanto Pokémon Contests sanctioned by the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]] and the [[Kanto Grand Festival]] as well. As such, she has appeared in a number of {{cat|episodes with Contests}} during the latter part of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. Lilian's style as an announcer is similar to that of a {{wp|Sports commentator|sportscaster}} and her catchphrase is ''"Let's get busy!"'' in the English [[dub]] and ''"Here we go!"'' in the original Japanese version, which she will say when kicking off the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] and each battle in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]].

She had written and edited for {{wp|Marvel Comics}} and, at the time of her death, was the senior digital artist at {{wp|DC Comics}}. She created the character of Rubber-Band Man from the cartoon {{wp|Static Shock}}. Blaustein was an artist in [http://www.trannyroadshow.com Tranny Road Show], a performing group composed of {{wp|transgender}} artists and performers. She had also collaborated with Gina Kamentsky on the cartoon ''Platform 6''. Additionally, she coached [[Kayzie Rogers]] for anime voice acting.

As a voice actor, Blaustein was one of the original voice actors on Pokémon. Rogers helped her get her first role on the show, where she initially only played [[Character of the day|characters of the day]], but after [[EP032]], she took over [[Nathan Price]]'s role as {{MTR}}. She had commented that she tried to view the Japanese version of the series, and one of her goals was to emulate the scream that [[Inuko Inuyama]] gives Meowth. She remained with the series until the end of [[S08|the eighth season]], when {{TPCi|Pokémon USA}} and [[TAJ Productions]] [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|took over the dubbing and distribution of the series]]. Most of her roles were taken over by [[Bill Rogers]] and [[Carter Cathcart|Billy Beach]], who took over Meowth's role.

She returned in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness|special based on]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] as the voice of {{OBP|Chatot|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}}, which is her only role in the PUSA dub, as well as her final role on Pokémon before her death.

==Trivia==
* Shortly after it was announced that [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|the voice cast would change]] after [[S08|the eighth season]], she joined both the [[Bulbagarden]] and [[Serebii.net]] forums to answer questions from fans.
* Blaustein and [[Ikue Ohtani]] are the only actors listed as reprising their anime roles (Meowth and Pikachu, respectively) in ''[[Pokémon Live!]]''. While Ohtani is listed as the voice of Pikachu in the show, considering Ohtani's role in the dub is just a reuse of her work from the Japanese version, it's likely only archive recordings of Ikue Ohtani were used for Pikachu in the show. Given this, Maddie is very likely the only actor from the anime to actually contribute a new performance for the live show.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and [[Goh]] have traveled to Ash's [[hometown]] of {{to|Pallet}} to visit [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], where {{an|Professor Oak}} himself happily welcomes them. Ash asks Goh if this is his first time here, but Goh tells him that [[JN001|he was here at a Pokémon Camp when he was six]]. He also remarks how they were held back due to someone being late. Ash figures that the person must've overslept, which makes him and Professor Oak both realize that the person they're speaking of was actually Ash himself.

Goh goes on to tell how the Pokémon Camp was also where he had seen {{p|Mew}}, which had inspired his dream of {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} every {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|world}} on his path to the [[Mythical Pokémon]]. Professor Oak compliments Goh's dream and asks how many Pokémon he's caught so far. In response, Goh shows him a [[List of Goh's Pokémon|list of his Pokémon]] from his [[Rotom Phone]]. Professor Oak is impressed, especially noting how Goh has managed to [[JN053|catch]] a {{p|Suicune}}. As such, he decides to tell Goh about [[Project Mew]], a research team that's currently recruiting members in order to find Mew. Goh, however, refuses the offer to join, since he doesn't like working in a team. Professor Oak is surprised, but also respects Goh's choice, before turning to Ash and telling him that {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} are waiting for him.

Ash rushes outside to greet {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Charizard}}, and many of his other Pokémon, who are just as happy to see him again as he is to see them. Professor Oak, however, mentions that {{AP|Infernape}} has been absent for a few days now, and neither he nor {{Tracey}} has been able to find him. Goh asks if Infernape was acting oddly before he disappeared, and Professor Oak describes how he did have some {{pkmn|battle}}s with Ash's other {{t|Fire}} types before that. Ash wonders if he was {{pkmn|training}}, but regardless, he and Goh decide to go look for him.

While looking for Infernape, Goh spots a {{p|Pidgeotto}} and decides to catch it, since he's already failed to catch one [[JN006|once]]. However, Pidgeotto escapes from the thrown {{i|Poké Ball}} and {{m|Gust|blows}} Ash and Goh straight into an {{p|Onix}}. Goh tries to catch it as well, but yet again, is met with failure. Onix prepares to attack them but is struck by a {{m|Hydro Pump}} from a {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}} before it can do so, driving it off. Ash recognizes the Blastoise, and sure enough, {{Gary}} steps out from behind it. Ash is happy to see Gary again, but also wonders what he's doing here, since [[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl|the last time he saw him]], he was doing Pokémon research in [[Sinnoh]]. Gary explains that these days, he's doing research around the world, and something turned up that made him come to [[Kanto]].

Goh introduces himself to Gary, while Ash explains to Goh that Gary is his childhood friend and longtime [[rival]], as well as the grandson of Professor Oak. Gary says he had heard of Ash having a new buddy, and wanted to see how good he was as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], claiming that Goh would have to be at least as good of a Trainer as he is to qualify as a buddy for Ash. Goh is irritated by Gary's behavior, but Ash assures Goh that Gary used to say the same kind of things to him, too. He then changes the subject and asks Gary why he came to Kanto in the first place. Gary explains that he's in search of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Moltres}}, which he has predicted to appear in a valley a short distance away. Ash, in return, explains that he and Goh are looking for his Infernape, which Gary remembers from the [[Lily of the Valley Conference|Sinnoh League]] battles he's seen. After hearing of Infernape's battles against Ash's other Fire-types, Gary figures Infernape could be headed to the same valley as he is, so Ash and Goh tag along with him.

Goh is barely able to keep up with Ash and Gary, but eventually, they all arrive at the valley. Gary explains that the valley was formed by flowing magma, which explains why Moltres would show up there. In addition, the local flowers have bloomed early, which is a result of Moltres bringing an early spring to wherever it goes. Using these pieces of information, Gary had been able to figure out Moltres would appear here, but now he also has a new piece of evidence: Ash's Infernape. He's seen him training before at Oak's Laboratory, so it'd make sense for him to wish to challenge a Legendary Fire type to grow stronger. And if he truly is here, it means he's been able to sense Moltres's presence. Just then, they hear Infernape's [[cry]] as he calls out for Moltres from a nearby tree. Spotting his Trainer, Infernape jumps over to Ash and happily greets him. The happy reunion has barely enough time to conclude before Gary tells them to look up, revealing that Moltres has responded to Infernape's call and arrived.

Ash agrees to fight by Infernape's side and tells him to use {{m|Flamethrower}}. However, the Fire-type [[move]] is easily absorbed by Moltres, who responds by encircling Infernape in a {{m|Fire Spin}}. Infernape is able to escape from the fiery vortex with {{m|Dig}}, but his {{m|Mach Punch}} fails to make contact, while his {{m|Flare Blitz}} is overpowered by Moltres's {{m|Air Slash}}. Gary joins the battle by sending out Blastoise, who scores a direct hit on Moltres with Hydro Pump. Blastoise then too gets trapped in a Fire Spin but manages to escape from it with a {{m|Rapid Spin}}. While its subsequent {{m|Skull Bash}} is dodged, its {{m|Water Pulse}} lands a hit, dealing {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super effective}} [[damage]] on the [[Legendary birds|Legendary bird Pokémon]]. Suddenly, Moltres's wing and tail flames grow bigger and brighter, which Gary recognizes as the move {{m|Burn Up}}. Blastoise attacks and scores a hit with Hydro Pump, but Burn Up still goes off, dealing lots of damage on Blastoise. Ash asks what Burn Up does, and Gary explains that it causes the user to lose its Fire typing.

Moltres next attacks with {{m|Hurricane}}, which quickly overpowers Blastoise's Rapid Spin counterattack and defeats it. Goh also joins in and sends out {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}, but Moltres easily dodges its {{m|Pyro Ball}} and uses Air Slash. Before Cinderace can be hit, Ash and Gary quickly call forth {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Gary|Electivire}}, who counterattack with {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Thunder}}, respectively. The {{type|Electric}} attacks manage to break through Air Slash and strike Moltres, dealing even more damage to it and causing it to [[Escape|fly away]]. Gary, however, says they don't need to chase after it, since the burning feather it dropped upon departing is exactly what he had come for in the first place, placing it inside of a glass jar. Goh, meanwhile, is dismayed to notice that he failed to record any footage of the battle. A {{p|Corviknight}} appears, and Gary places the jar containing the Moltres feather into the bag it's carrying, before the {{pkmn|category|Raven Pokémon}} flies off.

Back at Professor Oak's Laboratory, Professor Oak is surprised to hear what had happened. Ash says that battling with Moltres was fun but then notices Gary being further away, talking with [[Danika|someone]] on his Rotom Phone. Professor Oak reveals that Gary is taking part in Project Mew, and finding the Moltres feather was apparently his [[Field Research|Trial Mission]]. Upon the feather's authenticity being verified, Gary receives a token on his phone. Ash asks what the token is for, and Gary explains that they are received for completing Trial Missions. Gary then turns to Goh, saying that he made a wise choice in deciding not to join Project Mew with his current Trainer level. As Gary prepares to leave, Ash asks him what he'll be doing next. Gary says he'll be researching everything related to Pokémon, which includes researching Mew, which is said to contain the genes of every Pokémon. He understands his goal might seem impossible, but he's not giving up on it.

Watching Gary walk away, Goh declares that he'll join Project Mew after all. Professor Oak is happy about this decision and tells Goh that Gary's provocations were likely intended to lead him to this very choice. Goh admits that Gary completely beat him, but swears to try harder so it won't happen again.

==Trivia==
* [[Get Inspired! Let's Solve a Poké Riddle!!]]: {{p|Moltres}}
* This episode marks the first appearance of several [[human]] characters after long absences:
** {{Gary}}, whose last physical appearance in the main series was in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', 535 episodes earlier.
** [[Paul]], whose last main series appearance was in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', 498 episodes earlier.
*** This also marks Paul's first main series appearance outside of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', not counting openings and endings.
** {{Tracey}}, whose last main series appearance was in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', 354 episodes earlier.
** [[Gary's cheerleaders]], who last appeared in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', 883 episodes earlier.
* Although the synopsis is about Ash meeting his Pokémon in the episode, there were some notable absences:
** {{AP|Kingler}} is {{Ash}}'s only [[Kanto]] Pokémon residing at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] not to appear in this episode.
** {{AP|Noctowl}} is Ash's only [[Johto]] Pokémon not to appear in this episode.
*** Consequently, this makes Kingler and Noctowl the only Pokémon at Oak's lab that Ash caught in the [[original series]] to not appear in this episode.
** {{AP|Corphish}} is Ash's only [[Hoenn]] Pokémon to appear in this episode.
** {{AP|Torkoal}} is Ash's only {{type|Fire}} Pokémon residing at Professor Oak's Laboratory not to appear in this episode.

* This is the first time:
** {{AP|Charizard}} doesn't burn Ash with {{m|Flamethrower}} upon reuniting with him.
** Any of Ash's Kalos Pokémon are seen residing at Oak's Laboratory.
** Any of Ash's [[Unova]] and Kalos Pokémon have appeared outside of the [[series]] they were initially caught in.
** Ash has battled alongside a Pokémon he left at Oak's Laboratory since ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', 498 episodes ago.
* This episode features the following flashbacks, which have all been reanimated to match the style introduced in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'':
** Ash and Gary's encounter in front of Oak's Laboratory in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.
** Ash and Gary's battle in the [[Silver Conference]], as well as their talk at the lakefront, in ''Can't Beat the Heat!''.
** Ash and Paul's battle in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] in ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]''.
* [[Ash's Infernape]] is confirmed to be male in this episode, as Gary refers to him using a male pronoun in the Japanese version.
* Ash, [[Goh]], {{TP|Goh|Grookey}}, [[Chloe]], {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}} narrate the preview for the [[JN069|next episode]].
* Music from ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' is used as background music.
* In the English [[dub]], Gary can be heard whistling the tune of [[Pokémon Theme|the anime’s first dub opening]] while Goh questions who he thinks he is.
* [[Tsuguo Mogami]] and [[Kenta Miyake]] replaces a late [[Unshō Ishizuka]]'s voice roles as [[Gary's Blastoise]] and {{TP|Gary|Electivire}}, respectively.

==Plot==
The [[Cerise Laboratory]] receives an unexpected guest as [[Officer Jenny]] arrives at their doorstep, informing [[Professor Cerise]], {{Ash}}, and [[Goh]] that she's come here to investigate a case that's been occuring around [[Vermilion City]]. She's accompanied by the investigator in charge of solving the case, [[Inspector Decker]], who asks for all the {{type|Electric}} Pokémon at the laboratory to be gathered together. Once all of the laboratory's Electric types have been assembled, Decker compares each of them to a sketch he has. Upon reaching {{AP|Pikachu}}, he declares that Pikachu is the culprit, much to Ash and Goh's shock. Jenny explains that there's been a string of cases of electricity being stolen from houses around Vermilion City, with each nightly theft accompanied by an abnormal spike in power consumption. A witness had seen the silhouette of a Pokémon against a car's headlight, and the sketch Decker has was based on that testimony. Moreover, every other {{p|Pikachu}} in the city has an {{wp|alibi}}, leaving Ash's Pikachu as the only Pikachu without one. Refusing to listen to any of Jenny's objections, Decker has Pikachu taken to the police station.

While Decker unsuccessfully attempts to interrogate Pikachu, Ash expresses his disbelief at Pikachu being accused of a crime. Even Officer Jenny, who knows Ash and Pikachu well, is hesitant to believe Pikachu is guilty, but the sketch is the only lead they have at the moment. Suddenly, the lights start flickering, and Pikachu senses something, running away with Ash, Goh, Jenny, and Decker following behind. Pikachu leads them to a house, whose resident says that the electricity thief just struck his house. Since Pikachu had been at the police station at the time of the crime, he now has an alibi and is cleared of suspicion.

The police searches the area, but the thief manages to slip away without a trace, despite the crime having been committed in broad daylight this time. Jenny, however, figures that since Pikachu was able to sense electricity being stolen, adding him to the investigation team could help them locate the real thief. Decker approves the idea, appointing Pikachu as a special agent for the case. Ash and Goh are also excited to join the investigation, and are allowed to borrow a pair of [[List of clothing in the anime|police uniforms]] to wear. However, instead of locating the thief, their patrol has them solving a number of other, smaller cases, such as finding a missing {{p|Vulpix}}, moving a {{p|Snorlax}} blocking a road, stopping a reckless {{p|Dodrio}} rider, leading a group of {{p|Psyduck}} over the road, untangling a pair of {{p|Tangela}} stuck together, and carrying an old woman and her {{p|Purugly}} across the street.

Ash and Goh are feeling exhausted, having learned through experience that police work is busier and filled with more mundane tasks than they had imagined. Jenny, nevertheless, thanks the two for their help. Just then, Pikachu senses another theft of electricity, but by the time Jenny, Ash, and Goh reach the targeted house, the thief has already gotten away. When Jenny wonders out loud if there could be any way for them to lie in wait to make catching the thief easier, Goh gets the idea of having Pikachu discharge electricity inside a house to draw the thief there. They decide to execute the idea at [[Chloe]]'s home, and with Professor Cerise's permission, Pikachu starts using {{m|Thunderbolt}} into an electric socket, causing all the electronic devices in the household to go into overdrive.

The overly electrified house is noticed by the electricity thieves, who turn out to be a starving {{TRT}}. They're stealing electricity with their electricity vacuum car in an attempt to feed the electricity to {{an|Morpeko}} and thus let them eat some actual food. However, since the car runs on electricity, all the electricity they've previously stolen has always been used up just to get them back to the hideout. This time, though, they intend to feed the electricity to Morpeko immediately to avoid that, and start sucking electricity from the Cerise household. As the lights go out in the house, Jenny, Ash, and Goh realize the thief is nearby. When Team Rocket attempts to feed the stolen electricity to Morpeko, it turns out to have run off to steal food from the Cerise household. As it runs back to Team Rocket, Ash and Goh realize the trio was behind the thefts, and Jenny understands that the silhouette the witness saw was not that of Pikachu, but that of Morpeko.

Jenny attempts to arrest the Rocket trio, but they escape with their car. They start firing bolts at Jenny's pursuing car to shake them off, which Jenny counters by having her {{TP|Officer Jenny|Growlithe}} attack the trio's car with {{m|Swift}}. As the trio tries to regain control of their vehicle, they accidentally hit a stack of planks by the road, forcing Jenny to stop to avoid hitting the flying pieces of wood and allowing the trio to get away. They escape to an empty building and offer the stolen electricity to Morpeko. To their shock, however, Morpeko refuses it. Their [[Rotom Phone]] explains that Morpeko's hunger is specifically caused due to it creating electricity, so it needs actual food to satisfy its hunger. Ash, Goh, and Jenny arrive, but since the trio's plan has failed, they willingly give up. {{MTR}} kicks the electricity container towards the good guys, and the electricity from it ends up getting absorbed by Pikachu, powering him up. Ash has Pikachu use a powered-up Thunderbolt, sending Team Rocket blasting off just as Inspector Decker arrives at the scene.

Later at Cerise Park, Decker presents Pikachu with a certificate of appreciation as thanks for helping to solve the case. Jenny also thanks Ash and Goh for their help, and while they got to see how hard Jenny's work can be, they still enjoyed the experience. Decker asks Pikachu if he would like to partner up with him as a special agent, but Pikachu simply shocks him in response.

*In the English dub, when Inspector Decker is trying to coerce a confession out of Pikachu, he asks Pikachu if his Trainer has [[Delia Ketchum|a mother back home]]. In the Japanese version, he asks if Pikachu himself has a mother at home.
*In the English dub, when offering him a potential partnership, Inspector Decker suggests Pikachu should have the title "Detective" before being interrupted by Pikachu shocking him, alluding to [[Detective Pikachu (character)|Detective Pikachu]]. In the Japanese version, he doesn't get the chance to suggest any title for Pikachu before being shocked.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
While watering some of [[Goh]]'s {{type|Grass}} Pokémon at [[Cerise Laboratory|Cerise Park]]'s flower field, {{Ash}} and Goh witness Goh's {{p|Flabébé}} having a race with each other and [[evolution|evolving]] into {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Floette}} as a result. Goh is happy to see this, until he notices that the {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Flabébé, Floette, and Florges|White Flower}} Flabébé is not amongst them. When he and Ash find her, it turns out one of her flower's petals has fallen off, preventing her from flying properly. To find a new flower for her, they decide to travel to [[Kalos]], where Goh had [[JN025|caught]] Flabébé.

Arriving in [[Shalour City]], Ash and Goh start looking for a white flower. Since Flabébé's flower is too damaged to fly well, Goh puts it in a glass jar, while Flabébé rides on Goh's head and clings to his hair as she leads them to the spot where she had originally gotten her flower from. Unfortunately, upon finding the spot where the flower used to grow, they discover that it is now covered by a big rock. Any attempts to find more white flowers nearby fail, so they retreat to the local [[Pokémon Center]] for the night. Flabébé is feeling dejected, but when {{TP|Goh|Grookey}} accidentally dumps some [[Honey]] that Goh had tried to offer for Flabébé on his hair and starts reshaping the hair into various shapes, Flabébé is cheered up again. Before going to bed, Ash and Goh call [[Professor Cerise]], who promises to call back to them if he finds out anything useful. As the night falls, Goh wakes up to Flabébé tugging on his hair, and agrees to go on a nighttime walk with her.

Ash and Goh spend the next day looking for a new flower for Flabébé, but none of the numerous white flowers they find is good enough for her. They set up a camp for the night in a forest, and Goh promises to Flabébé that he won't mind her staying on his head until they find a new flower for her, no matter how long it takes. When Grookey accidentally wakes up Goh in the middle of the night, he notices that Flabébé and her damaged flower are missing. He ends up finding Flabébé nearby, desperately trying to fly with the flower, but failing each time. Goh realizes that while he might not have a problem with Flabébé staying on his head as long as necessary, Flabébé herself is desperate to find a new flower, so he promises to find one the next day.

The next morning, Ash and Goh receive a call from Professor Cerise, who directs them to a plant researcher who knows about Flabébé's white flowers. They arrive at the researcher's home, where her Orange Flower {{p|Florges}} notices Goh's Flabébé missing her flower, and takes her with her to the researcher's garden to demonstrate her {{m|Grassy Terrain}}, which makes the flowers in the garden bloom. The researcher explains that Flabébé draw their power from flowers, {{p|Floette}} tend to flowers, and Florges devote their lives to protecting flower gardens. She also reveals that her Florges also once lost her orange flower, and finding a new one hadn't been easy, which is why she sympathized with Goh's Flabébé. Goh says he wants to find a white flower for Flabébé, and the researcher directs him and Ash to the mountains in the northwest, where a researcher friend of hers had spotted a cluster of them.

While traveling to the mountains by bus, Goh notices Flabébé trying to mimic the gestures Florges had made while using Grassy Terrain, and understands that she wants to have her own flower garden too someday. In the mountains, Ash and Goh manage to locate a cluster of flower buds, but they're pink, so they search elsewhere. However, as the night begins to fall, they've not found anything. Suddenly, Flabébé starts pulling on Goh's hair, signaling for him to turn back. They return to the pink buds they found earlier, which end up blooming into white flowers as the moon shines on them. Flabébé chooses one of them, and is finally able to fly again. Ash and Goh then notice another Flabébé, which doesn't have a flower yet, meaning that she's choosing her first flower now.

As the {{pkmn2|wild}} Flabébé flies away with her new flower, only one white flower remains in the cluster, and Goh's Flabébé is worried. She starts performing the Grassy Terrain pose again, during which she evolves into Floette. Thanks to her new powers, Floette is now able to use Grassy Terrain, creating two new buds in place of the flowers that were just picked. Still, however, she's worried about the future of the white flowers. Recalling the researcher's words about the role that each member of the Flabébé line serves and his own realization about Flabébé wanting her own flower garden, Goh understands that Floette wants to stay here to protect the flowers, which she confirms.

Ash and Goh move to a cliffside and prepare to say goodbye to Floette. Grookey starts crying, as does Floette, but Goh says they have to say goodbye so that Floette can do her best. He promises to Floette that they'll come back someday to see the garden of white flowers she's grown. As the sun rises over the mountains, Goh bids farewell to his Floette, who flies off into the distance to go fulfill her dream.

==Major events==

==Plot==
At [[Cerise Laboratory|Cerise Park]], [[Goh]] brings {{Ash}} a letter for him from [[Unova]]. Ash reads it and finds out that it's from {{an|Iris}}, a {{ashfr|friend of his}} from [[Pokémon the Series: Black & White|the time when he was traveling around Unova]] and an aspiring [[Type expert|Dragon Master]]. It turns out she's recently entered the [[World Coronation Series]] and is challenging Ash to a Great Class battle. Happily accepting the invitation, Ash and Goh immediately board a plane to Unova and travel to [[Opelucid City]].

Upon arrival, Ash and Goh split paths for a short time, so that Goh can make most of the trip and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} some new Pokémon. He runs to nearby woods and quickly catches himself a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Pansear}} and a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Panpour}}. As he starts looking around for a {{p|Pansage}} to complete the trio, {{TP|Goh|Grookey}} spots something on a tree branch above them. Goh immediately tosses a {{i|Poké Ball}} at it, only for his target to turn out to be Iris, who falls down to the ground. As Goh apologizes to her, Iris realizes she overslept and rushes off. Meanwhile, Ash has arrived at the [[Opelucid Gym]], where he spots an {{p|Axew}} walking around. He wonders if it's Iris's, only for [[Drayden]] to appear, greet Ash, and reveal that the Axew is actually his Pokémon. Goh reunites with Ash, and he introduces him to Drayden, who presents himself as the [[Gym Leader]] of the Opelucid Gym.
[[File:Iris Champion.png|thumb|left|220px|Iris in her Champion dress]]
Ash's [[Rotom Phone]] alerts him that Iris is ready for their battle, and rushes into the Gym, followed by Goh and Drayden. At first, the battlefield is dark and empty, but a familiar {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} soon appears to turn on the lights, revealing Iris on top of a statue, from which she welcomes Ash in her new dress. Drayden reveals that Iris is the reigning {{pkmn|Champion}} of Unova, shocking both Ash and Goh. As Iris jumps down to the battlefield, Goh recognizes her from earlier and apologizes for what he did, but she just shrugs it off. Drayden tells Ash and Goh that after Iris's {{pkmn|journey}} with Ash, she continued her travels to meet and battle {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and Pokémon, resulting in her eventually becoming Champion. However, Iris doesn't consider her Champion status a sign of having become a Dragon Master, so she entered the World Coronation Series to grow even stronger. They agree to make their match a battle between Dragon types, and Ash calls out his {{AP|Dragonite}}, who immediately gives Iris one of its trademark hugs. Iris eagerly hugs Dragonite back, but suddenly stops and looks at Dragonite eye to eye. Goh is confused until Drayden explains that Iris is capable of sensing a Dragon Pokémon's feelings. Iris proves this by correctly sensing that Ash's Dragonite is both kind and strong. Meanwhile, Goh has spotted the {{DL|Battle judge|Drone Rotom}} hovering above them and points it out to Ash.

Ash and Iris take their positions on the battlefield, and call out their first Pokémon at Drone Rotom's signal. Ash calls forth his Dragonite, while Iris sends out her own {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}}. Ash's Dragonite is uneased by the fierce stare from its opponent, but Ash reassures it that Iris's Dragonite is nice, despite his looks. Iris starts the battle off with a {{m|Dragon Rush}}, which hits Ash's Dragonite before it can counterattack with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, sending it flying backward and landing onto Ash. Ash's Dragonite stands back up and attacks with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, which Iris's Dragonite counters with {{m|Thunder Punch}}. The attacks clash and both Dragonite get pushed back, before Ash's Dragonite uses {{m|Hurricane}}. Iris calls for an {{m|Ice Beam}}, but Ash is able to counter it by using Hurricane to redirect it upwards, blasting a hole in the Gym's ceiling. Drayden reassures them to ignore the damage and keep battling, so Iris orders another Dragon Rush. Ash tries to counter it with Dragon Claw, but is instantly overpowered. Although his Dragonite is still able to stand back up, Ash sees that it's getting overwhelmed, and chooses to [[recall]] it.

Ash next sends out his {{AP|Dracovish}}, who instantly chomps down on his head out of affection. Despite Dracovish's unusual appearance, Iris still finds it cute. Drayden notes that he's heard of this newly discovered [[Galar]] Pokémon, but this is his first time actually seeing it. Ash manages to redirect Dracovish's attention to the ongoing battle, and it lets go of him and runs into the battlefield as Iris tells Dragonite to use Dragon Rush. Ash has Dracovish use {{m|Fishious Rend}}, which successfully stops Dragonite in its tracks. Iris calls for a Thunder Punch, but with his head stuck inside Dracovish's mouth, Dragonite is unable to hear the command. Dragonite is then immediately struck by a powerful {{m|Ice Fang}} from Dracovish, {{status|freeze|freezing}} him solid before being spat out. Drone Rotom inspects Dragonite and declares him [[Fainting#In the anime|unable to battle]].

Iris recalls Dragonite and comments on how Ash managed to throw off her pace. She then calls out her trump card, {{TP|Iris|Haxorus}}, whom Ash recognizes as the [[Evolution|evolved]] form of the Axew she used to have. Haxorus starts off with {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, which outspeeds Dracovish's attempted {{m|Water Gun}} and hits it head-on, followed by a {{m|Psycho Cut}}, which causes Dracovish to faint. As Ash recalls his Pokémon, Iris says that Dragonite warned her of Dracovish's mouth, so she attacked from a distance to be safe from it. Ash calls out his Dragonite, which is still exhausted from its previous battle, while Haxorus is unscathed. Ash has Dragonite power itself up with {{m|Dragon Dance}}, before attacking with Dragon Claw. However, Haxorus counterattacks with {{m|Outrage}}, blocking Dragon Claw and dealing heavy damage on Dragonite. As a result of using Outrage, Haxorus becomes {{status|confusion|confused}}, but before Dragonite had exploit this opportunity, Haxorus suddenly hits his head on the floor, getting rid of the confusion. Iris reveals that they developed this strategy to avoid the aftereffects of Outrage being used against them.

Ash tries to get his Dragonite pumped up for the battle, but as it lets out a cry of determination, Iris raises her hand and tells it to relax, communicating with it on a spiritual level. She can sense it loves Ash and is very kind, reflecting how her Haxorus was much like that too when he was an Axew. But as they learned new [[move]]s, they found battling more and more fun, so she encourages Dragonite to have fun battling too, because that way, Ash will have fun too.

Ash is wondering what Iris and Dragonite just talked about, but Iris just winks and says it's a secret. With Dragonite's battle spirit reinvigorated, the match continues as Dragonite successfully blocks Haxorus's {{m|Breaking Swipe}} with Dragon Claw. Next, Iris commands Haxorus to use Psycho Cut, but in a surprising maneuver, Ash has Dragonite use Hurricane on itself, forming a [[Counter Shield|barrier]] that deflects Psycho Cut right back at Haxorus. Iris sees that Dragonite is having fun, and cheers it on, confusing Ash. Iris replies that she wants Dragonite to have fun so that the battle can heat up even more, and Ash gladly agrees to deliver just that. Haxorus uses Dragon Pulse, but the Hurricane barrier wraps the attack around itself, before expanding upwards to reach through the hole in the ceiling and into the sky above, where Dragonite's weather-affecting abilities start forming thick clouds. Drayden is impressed at the magnitude of Dragonite's abilities, and, as the energy from Dragon Pulse begins to coalesce together, realizes that Dragonite has just taken that energy to use a new move. His words are proven correct moments later, as Ash commands Dragonite to use {{m|Draco Meteor}}. Iris tries to counterattack with Outrage, but Haxorus is quickly overwhelmed by the onslaught of falling rocks and defeated, giving Ash the victory.

With his victory, Ash's rank rises to 99, officially putting him in the Ultra Class. He and Iris shake hands and promise to battle each other again once she climbs into the Ultra Class as well.

** [[Iris's Haxorus]] has been seen using {{m|Outrage}} since learning it in ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'', 451 episodes earlier.
** Haxorus's {{i|Poké Ball}} has been shown.
* This episode marks the first appearance of a number of Pokémon species in the main series after long absences:
** {{p|Haxorus}} who last appeared in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', 376 episodes ago.
** {{p|Axew}}, who last appeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', 351 episodes ago.
** {{p|Goodra}}, who last appeared in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', 211 episodes ago.
***This is also the first appearance of a Goodra in the {{pkmn|anime}} other than the {{AP|one that belonged to Ash|Goodra}}.
* Music from ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' is used in this episode.
* [[Goh]]'s first encounter with {{an|Iris}} is similar to Ash's first encounter with her in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', where he mistakes her as a Pokémon and throws a Poké Ball at her.
* Iris's speech before the match is similar to her pre-battle dialogue in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}.
* The way [[Ash's Dragonite]] learns {{m|Draco Meteor}} is a possible [[List of cross-canon references|reference]] to {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black}}, where [[Iris]] can teach this same move to a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon with a high level of [[friendship]].
* Haxorus's method of snapping out of {{status|confusion}} is similar to the method used by [[Gladion's Lycanroc]] in ''[[SM139|Enter the Champion!]]''.
* Ash's tactic of deflecting {{m|Dragon Pulse}} by having his Dragonite use {{m|Hurricane}} on itself is similar to his [[Counter Shield]] tactic from ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''.
* [[Eileen Stevens]] returns to the anime after leaving in the middle of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun and Moon]]'', reprising her role as the voice of Iris.
* As of this episode, Goh has caught at least one {{type|Water}} Pokémon in every [[region]].
* The episode's English [[dub]] title is similar to that of a [[JN012|previous episode]].
* Ash, Goh, Goh's {{DL|Goh|Floette|White Flower Flabébé}}, a researcher, and {{AP|Pikachu}} narrate the preview for the [[JN066|next episode]].

===Errors===
* When [[Iris's Dragonite]] and [[Ash's Dracovish]] are charging at each other, Iris is missing.
* In some scenes, the Poké Ball design in the middle of the battlefield is missing.
* The episode blurb in the [[iTunes Store]] in Australia states that [[Iris's Haxorus]] is the evolved form of {{p|Axew}}. While technically correct, a more accurate term would've been "the ''final'' evolved form of Axew".

===Dub edits===
* The Japanese text depicting [[Opelucid City]]'s name is edited out.

==Plot==
At the [[Cerise Laboratory]], {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] inform [[Professor Cerise]] that they've received a research request from [[Hodge]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}} whom they [[JN007|befriended]] during the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]]. His uncle's hot springs had dried out, and soon after, an {{p|Absol}} had been spotted nearby. Some of the townspeople, including Hodge's uncle, believe the old superstition about Absol being a bringer of disasters, and thus are blaming it for causing the incident. As such, Ash and Goh are now intending to figure out the true cause behind the situation. Understanding their point, Professor Cerise dispatches his two [[Professors' aides|research fellows]] to help Hodge out.

Ash and Goh travel to [[Lavaridge Town]] in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], where they meet up with Hodge. They notice that the local shops are closed, as all the tourists have disappeared after the hot springs dried out. Hodge brings Ash and Goh to an old stone tablet depicting Absol in the midst of multiple disasters, saying that his ancestors left it here to warn people of the supposed dangers that Absol posed. One event carved on the stone depicts the hot springs drying out, explaining why people are blaming Absol of causing it now too. Hodge brings Ash and Goh to his uncle's inn, where they find him and a group of townspeople preparing to hunt down and capture Absol. Hodge introduces his friends to his uncle, who doesn't seem to believe they can do anything to help. Ash and Goh protest that what they're planning to do to Absol is wrong, and manage to convince Hodge's uncle into giving them two hours to figure out the true cause behind everything before they head out to hunt for Absol.

The investigation begins at the dried-out hot springs. Hodge says that everything started about half a month ago, when his uncle had spotted Absol on the mountain, after which the water had cooled down and then stopped flowing altogether. Goh reads from his [[Rotom Phone]] that Lavaridge Town's hot springs originate from [[Mt. Chimney]]. Hodge confirms this, saying that ever since Absol showed up, no one has dared to check the source spring up on the mountain out of fear of running into the [[Pokémon category|Disaster Pokémon]]. Ash and Goh decide to check it out, while Hodge tries to convince his uncle to give up on his hunting idea.

Ash and Goh start climbing up the mountain road, but as they approach their destination, they suddenly find their path blocked by Absol, who starts attacking them. While they avoid being hit by its attacks, said attacks knock over several trees and block off the road, forcing the two Trainers to search for an alternate route. They do so, soon locating the pipes that pump water down the mountain, and follow it to the spring, where they find the area covered in snow and ice. Goh wonders how the water could've frozen, as hot spring water is heated up by underground magma before it surfaces and thus shouldn't be able to freeze despite the cold. Goh calls out his {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Trapinch}} and has it use {{m|Dig}} to investigate underground. Trapinch does so, but quickly resurfacers, shuddering from the cold. As Goh [[recall]]s Trapinch, he notices that even the earth dug up by it is frozen, meaning that something is definitely wrong.

Suddenly, a cold wind blows past the two, and they notice a {{p|Glalie}} approaching them. It attacks them, and although {{AP|Pikachu}} manages to block its {{m|Ice Shard}} with {{m|Electroweb}}, its {{m|Blizzard}} forces them to seek shelter. Goh stops Ash from attacking back, suggesting they follow Glalie as it leaves, as it and its possible friends could be the reason behind the ground freezing. They do so, stealthily following Glalie to a cave, where it reunites with two other Glalie and a {{p|Snorunt}}. Goh theorizes that they froze up the mountain, as it's too hot for them to live on otherwise. Ash suggests that dealing with the Glalie should solve their problem, but before Goh can even attempt to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} them, Absol suddenly shows up and drives them back, allowing the Glalie to get away before running off itself. Ash wonders if Absol is trying to tell them something, and Goh decides to make a phonecall to Hodge.

Goh informs Hodge of what he and Ash have found out and asks him to check out the stone tablet for anything that's currently happening, which he agrees to. As they climb up the mountain, Goh explains to Ash that if the stone carvings depict events that Absol tried to warn people about earlier, maybe they could figure out what's going on. Just then, Hodge calls back and says that he spotted a drawing of hot springs freezing on the stone tablet, as well as an image of the volcano erupting. Using this information and his Rotom Phone, Goh is able to figure out what's going on: 300 years earlier, Glalie wandered up the mountain and the hot springs froze, after which all the ice melted at once, resulting in a {{wp|phreatic eruption}}. The same is happening now, which is why Absol stopped them from catching the Glalie.

Just then, they notice a jet of steam venting out from the mountainside, a sign that the eruption is imminent. They rush up the mountain and see a large boulder blocking a hot spring. Goh figures that they can prevent the eruption by breaking the boulder and letting the steam vent out. He calls out his {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}} and has it attack the boulder with {{m|Pyro Ball}}, but it has no effect. Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} proves equally ineffective, and a second round of attacks doesn't help much. However, Absol then appears and attacks the boulder as well, managing to crack it. The three Pokémon keep attacking the boulder, cracking it more and more. However, time is running out, so Absol, out of desperation, rams into the boulder, causing it to finally shatter completely. A jet of superheated water erupts out, and Goh flings a {{i|Poké Ball}} at Absol to save it. The Ball hits and catches Absol, saving it from being hurt by the eruption. Cinderace cools the Poké Ball down and passes it to Goh, who lets Absol out. With the eruption averted, Goh thanks Absol for its warning and tells it it's free to go. {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Absol}}, however, instead pushes its Poké Ball out of Goh's hand and returns into it, showing that it wants to stay with him, making Goh happy.

Back in Lavaridge Town, Ash, Goh, and Hodge now get to bathe in the newly rejuvenated hot springs. Hodge thanks Ash and Goh for their help and says that they'll take the Glalie, who are bathing in a vat of ice water next to them, to someplace colder, as Mt. Chimney isn't a suitable place for them anyway. Hodge's uncle, meanwhile, is sorry for having blamed Absol for the incident, and expresses his apology by dumping some ice cold water from the Glalie's bath onto himself. He quickly joins the others in the hot spring to recover from the cold, and they enjoy the comfortable bath together, until the time comes for Ash and Goh to return to [[Vermilion City]].

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
{{Ash}}, [[Goh]], and [[Chloe]] watch a live broadcast of the [[Marine Athletic Race]] from [[Lilycove City]] in [[Hoenn]]. Seeing her {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}} enthusiastically cheering for the {{p|Vaporeon}} that ends up winning the race, Chloe decides that she wants to meet Vaporeon and its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, [[Kiley]], who's a friend of [[Chrysa]]'s from her college years. Ash and Goh also decide to tag along.

After arriving in Hoenn, the group meets up with Kiley. Kiley suggests that they should participate in the Kids Marine Athletic Race, and they agree, with Ash choosing to enter with {{AP|Dracovish}} and Goh going with {{TP|Goh|Dewgong}}. Even Chloe agrees to compete after learning that she doesn't necessarily need a {{t|Water}} type to participate. Kiley takes everyone for a practice swim around the racecourse, during which Ash's Dracovish demonstrates its ability to move faster by running on the seafloor than by swimming, Goh fails to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{p|Gorebyss}} due to his {{i|Poké Ball}} throw not working underwater, and Dewgong is smitten by the same Gorebyss.

At sunset, everyone gathers at a beach side house to eat. Kiley says that looking at Chloe's Eevee brings back memories, revealing that he's had his Vaporeon since it was an {{p|Eevee}}. Chloe asks why he chose to evolve it into a Vaporeon specifically. Kiley explains that he's a pro surfer, and one day, he had taken his Eevee along with him on his surfboard, and it had thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Seeing his Eevee's love for the ocean had made the choice of its evolution easy for both of them. Goh asks Chloe which [[Eeveelution|Eevee evolution]] she's going to choose, but she says that she's not going to choose anything: she's going to let Eevee make the choice herself.

The next day, the Kids Marine Athletic Race is held, with Ash, Goh, Chloe, and their Pokémon all standing at the starting line. At the starting signal, they all rush ahead, going through the racecourse as they had practiced the day before. Close to the end of the race, however, Dewgong notices the Gorebyss from before nearby, with a {{p|Huntail}} swimming after them. Feeling jealous, Dewgong leaves the racetrack and attacks Huntail, who starts fighting back. Eevee notices Dewgong swimming away and follows, with Chloe close behind. Ash and Goh cross the finish line at the same time and argue which one of them won, until they too notice Dewgong's absence. Dewgong, Chloe, and Eevee are chased to a nearby cave, and one of Huntail's attacks causes the cave entrance to be blocked off. Kiley comes to help, having his Vaporeon attack Huntail while Ash tries to break the rocks blocking the cave entrance. When Dracovish's {{m|Water Gun}} fails to provide results, it instead uses {{m|Fishious Rend}}, easily crushing the boulders and leaving Ash amazed at the power of the [[move]] that he didn't even know Dracovish could use.

Just as Chloe, Eevee, and Dewgong escape from the cave, Huntail attacks again, with Vaporeon fighting back with {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Eevee joins in, using {{m|Copycat}} to mimic Vaporeon and use Hydro Pump as well. The two combined Hydro Pumps overpower Huntail, and it is defeated. After Huntail has recovered, it and Dewgong apologize to each other, although Dewgong is left heartbroken when it sees Gorebyss being in love with Huntail instead of it.

Later, Kiley gives Chloe a [[Water Stone]] as an option for her Eevee, although he's also fine even if she doesn't end up using it. Chloe offers the stone to Eevee and asks her if she wishes to evolve into Vaporeon. Eevee hesitates, but eventually decides not to touch the stone. Chloe happily accepts Eevee's choice, remembering [[Talia|her mother]]'s [[JN011|words]] about not rushing things.

==Major events==

* Goh tries and fails to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{p|Gorebyss}}.

==Plot==
A camera crew has arrived at the [[Cerise Laboratory]] to interview {{Ash}} and [[Goh]]. After telling about various things they've encountered together as [[Professors' aides|research fellows]], including [[JN052|a case involving a group of]] {{p|Diglett}}, they wrap up the interview by telling about their goals: Ash's goal is to battle Monarch [[Leon]] in the [[World Coronation Series]], and eventually become a [[Pokémon Master]], while Goh's goal is to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} every {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|world}} in order to understand them better and thus work his way up to understanding {{p|Mew}}, which is said to possess the genes of all Pokémon, showing off some of the [[List of Goh's Pokémon|Pokémon he's caught]] so far.

Once the interview concludes, Goh's {{p|Sobble}}, who had stopped by to watch it unfold, resumes its {{pkmn|training}} by target shooting various objects around Cerise Park with its {{m|Water Gun}}. After saving {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Oddish}} from a falling [[Sitrus Berry]], Sobble suddenly [[evolution|evolves]]. Simultaneously, Goh gets a notification of Sobble's evolution on his [[Rotom Phone]] while seeing the camera crew off at the laboratory's front door, and rushes back inside to see his newly evolved {{TP|Goh|Drizzile}}. Drizzile, meanwhile, is feeling happy about its evolution, until it sees its reflection on a pond's surface and realizes it didn't become an {{p|Inteleon}} like it had thought, causing it to become depressed. {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Goldeen}} and {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Poliwag}} attempt to cheer it up by spraying some water on it, with little success.

Ash, Goh, and [[Chloe]] are having trouble finding Drizzile, so Goh asks his {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}} to help them find it. In the meantime, Drizzile is trying to find a nested spot to withdraw to, only to find every such spot already occupied another Pokémon. When it is sent flying by {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Heracross}} for having disturbed {{TP|Goh|Pinsir}}, it ends up bumping into Cinderace, who reports back to Goh and shows him to the small cave that Drizzile retreated to. Goh tries to call Drizzile to come out, but when his calls go unanswered, he crawls into the cave himself, finding Drizzile lying down in a small cavern. He tries to ask it to come out so they could train and help it become an Inteleon, but it refuses to move. Cinderace follows Goh into the cave and carefreely drags Drizzile out for Ash and Chloe to see. However, it then sheds a single tear and turns invisible before their eyes. Goh tries to follow its movements through rustling grass and opening doors, but loses it once it's walked out of the laboratory's front door.

Back inside, Ash, Goh, and Chloe discuss the matter with [[Professor Cerise]], [[Chrysa]], and [[Ren]]. Chrysa shows them Drizzile's [[Pokédex]] entry, which mentions it being intelligent but lazy. Professor Cerise explains that evolution can greatly affect a Pokémon's personality, which reminds Goh of the personality changes his Cinderace went through during [[JN017|its]] [[JN045|evolutions]], going from a happy {{p|Scorbunny}} to an aloof {{p|Raboot}}, and then back to carefree and cheerful with its second evolution. They still wonder, however, why Drizzile acted like it did, and while theories like nesting itself in preparation for its next evolution are thrown around, Professor Cerise says that they don't know for certain.

Goh decides to go search for Drizzile again, and Ash and Chloe tag along. However, by sunset, they've not seen a trace of it. As Goh wonders why Drizzile would want to nest itself, he's suddenly reminded of something from his own past, and realizes where Drizzile could be. He, Ash, and Chloe run to a dilapidated building on a hilltop. On its rooftop, they indeed find Drizzile, looking up at the starry night sky.

Goh sits down next to Drizzile and apologizes for forcing it out of its cave earlier. He explains that, as a child, he didn't want to play with other children in the school playground, and his teacher would keep asking him why he wasn't doing that. He hadn't even known himself why he didn't want to do it, so constantly being asked "why" left him frustrated. Since [[Walker|his]] [[Camille|parents]] were almost constantly working and [[Halta|his grandmother]] was not easy to ask advice from, he had just gazed at the stars for comfort. He had figured that if Drizzile was feeling the same way as he was back then, it'd probably come up here to do the same. Since it had done exactly that, it proves that he and it are alike. Goh assures that, having rethought things, he'll now respect Drizzile's choices and let it stay in its cave as long as it feels like it, hoping that when it's finally ready to be with someone, he could be with it again. Goh suddenly finds himself crying, but Drizzile wipes away one of his tears and smiles at him, before disappearing again. Goh stands back up and heads back to the Cerise Laboratory with Ash and Chloe.

The next day, Goh goes to check Drizzile's cave again, and is happy to find it inside. He comes back out and shares the happy news with Ash and Chloe, before heading out to eat. He promises to his other Pokémon that he'll come play with them once he's done, thinking of how he'll someday be able to play with Drizzile too.

==Major events==

* [[Goh]]'s {{p|Sobble}} evolves into {{TP|Goh|Drizzile}}.
* Drizzile leaves Goh's [[party|active roster]], withdrawing to a cave in [[Cerise Laboratory|Cerise Park]].

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
When faucets in [[Cerise Laboratory]]'s bathroom spring serious leaks, [[Professor Cerise]] calls a pair of handymen, [[Devi and Multa]], to fix the problem. They introduce themselves as the "{{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} All Service", named after their company mascot Pokémon. The leaks are quickly fixed, but as Devi and Multa leave, Devi trips on the stairs at the laboratory's entrance. Multa tries to help, but Devi is still seriously hurt, and he's taken to a hospital to recover. While Multa's Plusle remains its happy and cheerful self, Devi's Minun is angry at Multa. When Devi receives a call for a new job, {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] offer to help Multa out. After a bit of hesitation, she accepts their help.

Their first job together is brushing a rich man's herd of {{p|Tauros}}. After successfully carrying it out, they next head to [[Rock Tunnel]] to rescue another {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Tauros from being lost in the darkness. Although {{TP|Goh|Grookey}}'s actions cause the Tauros to rampage, he is still happily reunited with his Trainer. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is at a park, trying to think of a plan to steal the rich man's Tauros herd. While thinking of it, [[Jessie]] goes to a drinking fountain to get a drink, but the fountain accidentally breaks and springs a big leak. {{MTR}}, noticing Devi speaking about her handyman job nearby, calls on her help. She gets nervous, but manages to calm herself down before attacking the problem. With Ash and Goh's help, she's able to fix the fountain and stop the leak. Despite her good work, however, Minun still remains grumpy towards her. The rich man then calls again, requesting for them to come look after his Tauros in an hour. Multa hands the [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] Team Rocket a leaflet about her company before leaving. Looking at it, Jessie gets an idea on how to steal the Tauros.

When Multa, Ash, and Goh arrive at the rich man's house an hour later, they're surprised to find out that he just handed his Tauros to another group of handymen. Following the description they receive, they locate Team Rocket, disguised as handymen themselves. When they start acting suspiciously, they remove their disguises and perform their {{motto}}, before making a run for it. However, in their rush, they end up running over some unstable planks placed on top of a uncovered {{wp|manhole}}, causing Meowth and the bag containing the Tauros to fall into it. Some of the Tauros emerge from their {{i|Poké Ball}}s and fall on Meowth, leaving him trapped.

After taking a deep breath to calm herself, Multa takes charge of the rescue, and has Ash and Goh lower a winch cable from her car into the manhole. After asking [[James]] to manage the winch, she then descends into the hole herself and places a harness around a Tauros, whom James pulls up with the winch. The process is repeated for each Tauros, until only one is left. In the middle of lifting him, however, the winch runs out of battery power, causing the Tauros to fall downwards again and knock into Multa and Meowth, leaving them hanging for dear life from Tauros's harness. Minun, seeing Multa's predicament, finally rejoins Plusle in cheering for her, before the two {{pkmn|category|Cheering Pokémon}} rush up to the car to recharge the battery. Their power is not enough, however, so Ash has {{AP|Pikachu}} use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on them, powering up their {{m|Discharge}} enough to recharge the battery, reactivating the winch and pulling Multa, Meowth, and the last Tauros to safety. Team Rocket decides to cut their losses and just leave, but the Tauros are not that quick to forgive them, and proceed to send them blasting off which a series of powerful kicks.

That evening, Multa, Ash, and Goh visit Devi at the hospital, telling him of how well the day went. Devi is happy to hear of Multa's leadership skills, and is looking forward to getting to work with her again.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

On their way to Olivine City, our heroes pass through a dangerous looking canyon full of unstable boulders. When the rocks begin to give way in an avalanche-like fury, a few fiery Pokémon rush to the rescue. Once out of harm's way, Ash, Misty and Brock find they've been rescued by Ramona, her brother Kegan and their three Arcanine. Ramona explains she and her brother were passing through the canyon on their way to deliver a bag of Fire Stones to a town holding a Fire-type Pokémon contest. Intrigued by the agile Pokémon, Ash is interested in learning how to ride the Arcanine. Before he gets far, Team Rocket shows up and steals the bag of Fire Stones. Ramona, Kegan and the gang must split up with the Arcanine to find Team Rocket and reclaim the rocks. Ash and Kegan team up, but after falling into one of the nasty trio's traps, Kegan is unable to guide Arcanine. Ash must rapidly learn how to ride if they are to recover the Fire Stones and save the Pokémon competition.

==Plot==
Continuing on their journey to [[Olivine City]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} find themselves walking through a large canyon. Misty spots the unstable boulders by the canyon's edges, and soon a large gust of wind causes a rockslide. Luckily, a pack of {{p|Arcanine}} jumps in and rescues the gang. Now safe, Ash thanks the Arcanine's {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, [[Ramona]] and her younger brother [[Keegan]]. After some brief introductions, Ash is amazed because he has never seen an Arcanine close up before. He then checks his [[Pokédex]], which informs him that a {{p|Growlithe}} can only evolve into Arcanine by use of a [[Fire Stone]]. Ash tells Keegan how he got ahold of a Fire Stone. Keegan proceeds to show Ash a large collection of Fire Stones, and he explains that they are to be given away at a competition for {{type|Fire}} Pokémon to be held later on. Ramona adds that she and her brother operate a courier service using their Arcanine for transport. She then asks where the group are going, and after learning that they are heading towards Olivine City she offers them a lift aboard one of the Arcanine. Ash and his friends agree, and after a dash across some rugged terrain the group takes a break in a forest clearing.

While Misty and Brock enjoy some hot refreshments, Ramona, Keegan and Ash groom the Arcanine's thick furs. Hearing Ash's interest, Keegan suggests that Ash should ride an Arcanine by himself, and Ash decides to give it a go. After a rocky start, Ash gets the hang of riding Arcanine, until he gets thrown off at the end of the lesson. The ever optimistic Ash announces to everybody that all he needs is practice and he will be as good as Keegan is.

There is a sudden noise in the sky. They look up and see a rocket heading straight for them. Everybody scatters and it lands right next to where they were standing. A rubber hand pops out of the rocket and grasps the Fire Stones. They all wonder who would try to steal the Fire Stones. {{TRT}} emerge and recite their {{motto}}. Ash commands {{AP|Pikachu}} to stop Team Rocket from stealing the Fire Stones with Thunderbolt, but {{MTR}} grabs Pikachu with the same rubber hand, preventing Pikachu from using his {{type|Electric}} attacks. Ramona then commands one of the Arcanine to free Pikachu, which it succeeds in doing. Ash catches Pikachu and Keegan then commands all of the Arcanine to attack Team Rocket. After missing them, Team Rocket retreats into their rocket and they retrieve a tandem bicycle to make their getaway. Ramona and Keegan pursue the trio on their Arcanine, and they catch up them quickly. Jessie takes evasive action and puts the brakes on the bike. As for the Arcanine, because of their momentum and speed, they cannot stop in time and end up falling into one of Team Rocket's pitfall traps. Jessie and her teammates are pleased with themselves and they continue pedalling away.

Ash's group soon finds Ramona and Keegan in the pitfall trap, and help them out. Brock uses his {{TP|Brock|Golbat}}'s {{m|Supersonic}} to locate Team Rocket. Golbat leads them to a fork in the road, where Team Rocket has split up. Reluctantly, they split up as well to see if they can find which one of the three have the Fire Stones. The first group, consisting of Brock, Misty, and Ramona, see a tree stump with a bag on it which looks like the bag of Fire Stones. They come closer and fall into a hole dug by [[James]], who comes out and taunts them. The second group, consisting of Ash and Keegan, find Jessie escaping on a unicycle trying to outrun them. They follow her through some bushes and end up on a Pokémon battlefield. Jessie, on the other side of the field, tells Ash and Keegan that if they want the Fire Stones back, they have to fight her in a [[Pokémon battle]]. Ash is eager to get back the Fire Stones, so he accepts Jessie's challenge. Jessie calls out her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and Ash uses Pikachu. After a short battle, Jessie acknowledges Ash's win and throws the bag in the middle of the battlefield. Ash, Keegan, and Arcanine rush to the middle of the field, only to fall into a pitfall trap dug in advance. At the bottom of the hole, Keegan appears to have sustained a broken arm. While Ash is asking if Keegan is alright, Jessie grabs Pikachu with the same rubber hand as before and places Pikachu in a special cage. By evening, Jessie and James report back to Meowth that their divide and conquer plan succeeded. Meowth is keen to present their new prizes to {{an|Giovanni|the boss}} so they can get the recognition. They soon take off happy that one of their schemes actually worked.

As night approaches, Ash finally gets out of the hole that was dug and suggests to Keegan that they find Team Rocket immediately. In spite of his sore arm, Keegan tells Ash that they better find them in a hurry because the competition that will award the Fire Stones needs them by tomorrow. Ash suggests that he should lead Arcanine instead, and Keegan agrees to the idea. As they are riding, Ash is still trying to learn to ride Arcanine, though Keegan is able to give him instructions to avoid calamity. Keegan tells Ash that he needs to treat Arcanine like they are together as one. Ash recalls that this is how he and Pikachu are, so he concentrates on forming an emotional bond with Arcanine. With his new-found connection with Arcanine, Ash gains the confidence to ride Arcanine to find the stones. Night falls, and they have stopped at a clearing on a foothill.

Arcanine sniffs around trying to find Pikachu's scent, and soon finds it. Meanwhile, in a clearing in the woods, Team Rocket is enjoying a victory meal. James is worried about the amount of money borrowed to pay, but Jessie and Meowth are quick to remind him that once they sell the Fire Stones they will be in line for a promotion. With that, the trio cheers to themselves and dig into their banquet meal.

About this time, Brock and his group make it out of his hole with the help of {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. On the surface, Misty hears a growling sound, and Brock then orders his Onix to follow it. Soon after, Ash and Keegan gatecrash Team Rocket's celebrations and demand the Fire Stones be returned. Keegan orders his Arcanine use {{m|Take Down}}. However, Jessie pushes {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} into the battle, and it {{m|Counter}}s Arcanine's attack, which gives Team Rocket the chance to escape in their hot air balloon with Pikachu and the Fire Stones. Right about now, Brock and his group join Ash. Ramona tells her Arcanine to use their {{m|Fire Spin}} attacks to bring down Team Rocket. The Arcanine run up Onix like a ramp before setting the Meowth balloon alight. As a result, Ash catches Pikachu and Brock catches the Fire Stones while Team Rocket hits the ground hard. Jessie, still determined to be victorious, sends out Arbok to get even, but Keegan steps in and uses his Arcanine to take care of Arbok with {{m|Take Down}}. Arbok is knocked into Team Rocket, causing them to run away. Keegan points out that Team Rocket are escaping, and Ash is determined to not let them off the hook. He, with Pikachu on his shoulder, chases the trio down on an Arcanine, and a Pikachu {{m|Thunderbolt}} sends Team Rocket blasting off.

Brock is amazed by Ash's handling of the Arcanine, though Misty brushes it off as beginners' luck. As day breaks, Ramona interrupts and mentions to Keegan that they better get the Fire Stones to the competition before it is too late. They make it to the competition grounds and hand the Fire Stones to the director in time. Later, Keegan and Ramona thank Ash and his friends for their help, well aware that they need to be going. Brock offers to stay with Ramona, but Misty is quick to drag him away by the ear. A final wave goodbye, and Ash's group continues their journey.

Talk:List of shippings

2021-01-09T20:50:17Z

3nyasu3: /* I found some missing ships; can an staff member add them */

GAH! The formatting was screwed up when the list was updated...anyone able to help out? --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 04:58, 27 December 2005 (CST)

==Motion to rename to List of shippers==
===Aye (2)===
* Move will bring it in line with the rest of Bulbapedia. This current title can be a meta-article, about the list itself and its evolution. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 11:52, 6 Aug 2005 (CDT)
*Agreed. No need to retain the current title now. Now that there's actually a real place for it with 'pedia, it needs to become more encyclopedic. --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 17:59, 6 Aug 2005 (CDT)
*I would advocate giving shippers a wiki of there own, the pokemon or at least anime variety in particular.[[User:サイコウ天使|「サイコウ天使」(saikou tenshi)]] 5:03AM, 7 Nov 2005 (PDT)

===Nay (0)===
*

==Old==
Awwww bugger. Anyone know how to fix the formatting for this page? It doesn't seem to like me at all. Perhaps it's the page length? Over 43kb. --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 02:35, 26 Dec 2004 (GMT)

:Holy crap O_o. I never remember there being this many shipping groups. Is there anything that hasn't been shipped. I think I'm still on the webpage for Chaos Rocket's Pallet Shipping group. And Archaic, try line breaks? --[[User:Tenchi-Oak|Tenchi-Oak]] 09:49, 25 Dec 2004 (EST)

::That's all I had. Zhen's fixed it up for me though, so no more problems. Added a quick navigation to the start. Figured that with the list so long thesedays, it'd help to skip to at least the letters of the alphabet. ^^; --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 03:19, 26 Dec 2004 (GMT)

==Suggestions==
What about Black x White from adventures?!

This is just my opinion, but I think we should delete the shippers page or go through some serious editing. It's sort of unrelevant to the factual articles Bulbapedia has, and most of it doesn't have proof. ~ [[User:Sméarglé|S. Mea Argle]]

In the forum thread for the list, Muka-chan suggested that people add submissions here. So I'll start with one I thought up: FenceShipping, Ash & Misty + Ash & Gary. That is, someone who believes in both PokéShipping and PalletShipping. I used to be one of those poor misguided souls... ^_^ - Ketsuban

Another suggestion from the Ket... SnapShipping should be Ash & Todd. How can it not have a name yet? *is surprised* And of course the Japanese would call it SatoTo'o or To'oSato... Also, RanmaShipping: Todd & Jesse! Because Kappei Yamaguchi is male Ranma, and Megumi Hayashibara is female Ranma! Hahahahahahaha. And shoot, I added these while logged in as Blackjack. *cries* --[[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban, NOT BLACKJACK]]

Another couple: CloneBitchShipping (Jessibelle and Misty), and CloneBrocketShipping (Jessibelle and Brock). Both of them were blushing when Jessibelle was talking about whipping James... ~Ket again

More suggestions from Ket because she has some ships that need names:

*IllusoryShipping: Brock and Lokoko
*SubmarineShipping: Hokage and Ruby
*KyogreShipping: Wattson and Flannery

Ket, FenceShipping isn't an original name. You're just reinventing one of the names I coined for them back in the old days. =p Half-breed was the term that got general acceptance BTW.
Also....GAH! Some of the names that have been edited and replaced shouldn't have been changed to their dub ones. Those Ships were meant to be specifically for the Japanese version, and not for the dubs.--[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 10:40, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

o_O Why the heck would a ship be specifically for the Japanese version? Can the characters not be involved with each other if they are speaking English? -ket

Cases where people feel that the hints weren't carried over to the dub, or where the feeling of the relationship has changed significantly. --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 21:59, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Who cares if the hints weren't carried over? Most of the shippers ''I'' know don't care about hints. And just which pairings are you talking about, anyway? -ketz

'nother suggestion: TrickShipping as Tabitha & Shizuku. [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 20:47, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

お久しぶりだね、兄弟。The ancient one is right, Half-breeds is indeed the correct term. I'd like to advocate a complete shipper history and, just for the sake of situations such as these, a shipper dictionary of terms. How about it? Marc is already aware of what we'd like to do. And for the love, open the list up to the general public. Are you so afraid of repraisals? I mean, you're going to heavily moderate that one anyway, right, Liam? [[User:サイコウ天使|「サイコウ天使」(Most High Heaven Messenger)]] 5:13AM, 7 Nov 2005 (PDT)

Since when does "Psycho Tenshi" mean "Most High Heaven Messenger"? =p So who are you exactly anyway?
A Shippers glossary would certainly be a helpful addition to 'pedia. You want to write it, go ahead.
And as for opening up the list....no. There's far too many frivolous names on there anyway. The list was never meant to be a name for everything people came up with off the top of their head, only a name for every ship that people had actually actively used in fanfics/fanart/fandom discussions/etc --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 07:32, 7 November 2005 (CST)

Since I became a Cleric. >:P There are no kanji in FFXI names（ローマ字だけ）, so I prefer to katakanaize all player character names i mention from it, including my own. This is my own convention because of circumstances. My JP friends usually prefer ro-maji, but this isn't always useful. Especially when we correspond in english, I'll usually katakanaize a person's name being discussed or add a non-romanized honorific suffix so that my friend doesn't get confused. i considered going with 最高 here, but the double entendre was my initial reason for taking this alias in the first place (and a vain hope to avoid overt vanity). If you know who I am, then you'd know that allegory is of my favorites. Ironic, that. sai = most kou = high ten = heaven shi = messenger. If you want to get literal, Supreme Angel. In angelology, this would be Seraphim or Archangels. Michael and Gabriel are said to be part of this order, but then again so is The Deciever of the Entire World. To quote Raogrimm, we have the potential to be either that greater good or greater evil.

Forgive me for babbling. I don't know if I will take up these tasks. The matters of the true world are more pressing at this time. I have a role to play which supercedes games and forums, and is in fact a matter of life and death. If you want to go off topic, I believe you know my email.

And for the sake of my sentimental heart... ReunionShipper, please!

IceBeamShipping - Paul's Weavile & Dawn's Buneary

==Um...==
Why is this protected? I wanted to move this to [[List of shippers]], as the current name is unencyclopedic. — [[User:Jellochuu|Jellochuu]][[User talk:Jellochuu|¾]] 22:37, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

:Because the (In)Complete List of Shippers is less an article made specifically for Bulbagarden, and more an article hosted by Bulbagarden. Treat it like you'd treat a game walkthrough that the creator would allow to be posted as long as it wasn't edited.
The real reason it was protected though however was so that the Shippers Community could have more control over what names are accepted as being the "official" ship names, preventing edit-wars.--[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 09:32, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I would like to join! May I? How do I?--[[User:Paul'sDialga|Paul'sDialga]]

>* SahaShipper - A flaming, militant supporter of Advanceshipping
Why is that listed under Ships Involving Real People? They're not paired with anyone...

While I would assume that person meant it as a ship between a person and their own ship, you're right, it should be under the main list as an alternate name, like GakiShipping.--[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 10:40, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

==Flamebait Ships==
What the hell is this? "UrineShipper - Ledian_X & his toilet " Who made it? I never heard of it. Tempted to edit it out.[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 17:12, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:I don't know who added that Ship, or several others like it, but I know they weren't there when I last did a full update, which means it's one of you guys who's put it in. Unless there's a *very* good historical reason to include ships like this (And in which case, it should have the historical context mentioned in a note on the list itself), it should never have been approved for addition to the list in the first place. This is disgraceful. --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 23:27, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

>Should there even be ships listed in there that don't involve Pokemon characters at all? I mean, I know some of it's kitchy fandom, but where do you draw the line? Should the site cover ships that are only vaugely related to Pokemon through tenuous links via real people and unrelated other people and objects? I propose that if we DO keep the ships that have nothing to do with Pokemon and characters besides links to people who are fans of Pokemon - that they at least be regulated to a page on their own. I just don't think someone who goes "OMG! Damian and Mozz need to do eachother!" or "Rachil Lils would totally go for the Japanese voice actor of Kasumi!" deserves their own sections of the Bulbapedia, since it's not really related to Pokemon except in aroundabout way.

- Zeta

I don't think that any ships that don't involve Pokémon characters should be listed on the site. It's completely unprofessional and has nothing to do with the franchise. I mean, ships involving members of the fandom are bad enough, but why are completely unrelated pairings, like Inuyasha/Jakotsu, listed? That needs to be on an Inuyasha site, ''not'' a Pokémon encyclopedia. If you ''must'' have ships involving members of the fandom, at least put them on a separate page in the People category so that people looking for actual character ships aren't forced to dig through that other garbage. Sorry for my harsh words, but I am honestly getting fed up with the amount of non-Pokémon/unimportant fandom content going into this encyclopedia. -[[User:Argy|Argy]]

may i ask what is Urineshipping

Please read the relevant discussion above, or speak to the participants in it. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 08:24, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

==Thing==

I made a template, {{redlink|Template:NCS}}, that I thought might be useful for certain articles after Meowth brought up the fact that one of the shipping articles I'd made might be offensive to some. I considered applying it to the list article, but since it's protected I figured I should ask what everyone else thinks first. [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 19:02, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

:Go ahead and add it. There's quite a lot of offensive names on there.
:While we're at it....we really need to update this list again. --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 09:42, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Yoshi/Dani/Jackson ==

These need to be updated to Jimmy, Marina, and Jackson/Vincent. [[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 14:51, 8 November 2005 (CST)

----
I notice this page is very long but doesn't have a few ships, especially with the DP characters. I guess there's not a big following now in America, but in Japan they're everywhere. So that might be part of the problem, because there might not be an American name yet.

I also wondered, maybe we could organize the article into more common ships (PokéShipping, Palletshipping, etc) and the ones that are just... really, really obscure. There might also need to be a section for ships that are a little bit more... you know, PG-13, and we could move the warning at the top to just that article (anything with incest, urine, etc...)

Anyway, here's a list of ships that I think need to be added:
* Ash x Dawn
* Paul x Dawn
* Silver x Jasmine
* Lucas x Cynthia
* Roark x Gardenia
* Volkner x Jasmine
* Volkner x Roark
* Morty x Falkner
* Lucian x Aaron
* Flint x Lucian (usually unrequitted)
* Silver x Gold -- I think "Silver" is currently listed as "Black" for some reason
* Gold x Red
*etc Unsigned comment by {{u|Greengiant}}

:The problem is that, while Luna Tiger maintains the list on BMGf, no one has updated this version of the list for over a year. That means that any ships created since then, including all the DP ships, are not reflected in it. I am a bit busy with real life at the moment but I will take a look at it on Sunday if no one updates it before then. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 18:19, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

:Actually, if your goal is to link ''all'' of the ships on the page, you're best off holding off, lest you want {{u|Kenji-girl}} reverting you in fury. For starters, only a small handful of ships are notable for articles--I highly doubt a "Brock'sWoodenSausageShipping" (a Sudowoodo and the wooden sausage Brock carved up back in Johto) article would last long.

What about Black x White from adventures?!

This is just my opinion, but I think we should delete the shippers page or go through some serious editing. It's sort of unrelevant to the factual articles Bulbapedia has, and most of it doesn't have proof. ~ [[User:Sméarglé|S. Mea Argle]]

In the forum thread for the list, Muka-chan suggested that people add submissions here. So I'll start with one I thought up: FenceShipping, Ash & Misty + Ash & Gary. That is, someone who believes in both PokéShipping and PalletShipping. I used to be one of those poor misguided souls... ^_^ - Ketsuban

Another suggestion from the Ket... SnapShipping should be Ash & Todd. How can it not have a name yet? *is surprised* And of course the Japanese would call it SatoTo'o or To'oSato... Also, RanmaShipping: Todd & Jesse! Because Kappei Yamaguchi is male Ranma, and Megumi Hayashibara is female Ranma! Hahahahahahaha. And shoot, I added these while logged in as Blackjack. *cries* --[[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban, NOT BLACKJACK]]

Another couple: CloneBitchShipping (Jessibelle and Misty), and CloneBrocketShipping (Jessibelle and Brock). Both of them were blushing when Jessibelle was talking about whipping James... ~Ket again

More suggestions from Ket because she has some ships that need names:

*IllusoryShipping: Brock and Lokoko
*SubmarineShipping: Hokage and Ruby
*KyogreShipping: Wattson and Flannery

Ket, FenceShipping isn't an original name. You're just reinventing one of the names I coined for them back in the old days. =p Half-breed was the term that got general acceptance BTW.
Also....GAH! Some of the names that have been edited and replaced shouldn't have been changed to their dub ones. Those Ships were meant to be specifically for the Japanese version, and not for the dubs.--[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 10:40, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

o_O Why the heck would a ship be specifically for the Japanese version? Can the characters not be involved with each other if they are speaking English? -ket

Cases where people feel that the hints weren't carried over to the dub, or where the feeling of the relationship has changed significantly. --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 21:59, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Who cares if the hints weren't carried over? Most of the shippers ''I'' know don't care about hints. And just which pairings are you talking about, anyway? -ketz

'nother suggestion: TrickShipping as Tabitha & Shizuku. [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 20:47, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

お久しぶりだね、兄弟。The ancient one is right, Half-breeds is indeed the correct term. I'd like to advocate a complete shipper history and, just for the sake of situations such as these, a shipper dictionary of terms. How about it? Marc is already aware of what we'd like to do. And for the love, open the list up to the general public. Are you so afraid of repraisals? I mean, you're going to heavily moderate that one anyway, right, Liam? [[User:サイコウ天使|「サイコウ天使」(Most High Heaven Messenger)]] 5:13AM, 7 Nov 2005 (PDT)

Since when does "Psycho Tenshi" mean "Most High Heaven Messenger"? =p So who are you exactly anyway?
A Shippers glossary would certainly be a helpful addition to 'pedia. You want to write it, go ahead.
And as for opening up the list....no. There's far too many frivolous names on there anyway. The list was never meant to be a name for everything people came up with off the top of their head, only a name for every ship that people had actually actively used in fanfics/fanart/fandom discussions/etc --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 07:32, 7 November 2005 (CST)

Since I became a Cleric. >:P There are no kanji in FFXI names（ローマ字だけ）, so I prefer to katakanaize all player character names i mention from it, including my own. This is my own convention because of circumstances. My JP friends usually prefer ro-maji, but this isn't always useful. Especially when we correspond in english, I'll usually katakanaize a person's name being discussed or add a non-romanized honorific suffix so that my friend doesn't get confused. i considered going with 最高 here, but the double entendre was my initial reason for taking this alias in the first place (and a vain hope to avoid overt vanity). If you know who I am, then you'd know that allegory is of my favorites. Ironic, that. sai = most kou = high ten = heaven shi = messenger. If you want to get literal, Supreme Angel. In angelology, this would be Seraphim or Archangels. Michael and Gabriel are said to be part of this order, but then again so is The Deciever of the Entire World. To quote Raogrimm, we have the potential to be either that greater good or greater evil.

Forgive me for babbling. I don't know if I will take up these tasks. The matters of the true world are more pressing at this time. I have a role to play which supercedes games and forums, and is in fact a matter of life and death. If you want to go off topic, I believe you know my email.

And for the sake of my sentimental heart... ReunionShipper, please!

:Because the (In)Complete List of Shippers is less an article made specifically for Bulbagarden, and more an article hosted by Bulbagarden. Treat it like you'd treat a game walkthrough that the creator would allow to be posted as long as it wasn't edited.
The real reason it was protected though however was so that the Shippers Community could have more control over what names are accepted as being the "official" ship names, preventing edit-wars.--[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 09:32, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Why is that listed under Ships Involving Real People? They're not paired with anyone...

While I would assume that person meant it as a ship between a person and their own ship, you're right, it should be under the main list as an alternate name, like GakiShipping.--[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 10:40, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:I don't know who added that Ship, or several others like it, but I know they weren't there when I last did a full update, which means it's one of you guys who's put it in. Unless there's a *very* good historical reason to include ships like this (And in which case, it should have the historical context mentioned in a note on the list itself), it should never have been approved for addition to the list in the first place. This is disgraceful. --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 23:27, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

>Should there even be ships listed in there that don't involve Pokemon characters at all? I mean, I know some of it's kitchy fandom, but where do you draw the line? Should the site cover ships that are only vaugely related to Pokemon through tenuous links via real people and unrelated other people and objects? I propose that if we DO keep the ships that have nothing to do with Pokemon and characters besides links to people who are fans of Pokemon - that they at least be regulated to a page on their own. I just don't think someone who goes "OMG! Damian and Mozz need to do eachother!" or "Rachil Lils would totally go for the Japanese voice actor of Kasumi!" deserves their own sections of the Bulbapedia, since it's not really related to Pokemon except in aroundabout way.

- Zeta

I don't think that any ships that don't involve Pokémon characters should be listed on the site. It's completely unprofessional and has nothing to do with the franchise. I mean, ships involving members of the fandom are bad enough, but why are completely unrelated pairings, like Inuyasha/Jakotsu, listed? That needs to be on an Inuyasha site, ''not'' a Pokémon encyclopedia. If you ''must'' have ships involving members of the fandom, at least put them on a separate page in the People category so that people looking for actual character ships aren't forced to dig through that other garbage. Sorry for my harsh words, but I am honestly getting fed up with the amount of non-Pokémon/unimportant fandom content going into this encyclopedia. -[[User:Argy|Argy]]

I made a template, {{redlink|Template:NCS}}, that I thought might be useful for certain articles after Meowth brought up the fact that one of the shipping articles I'd made might be offensive to some.

I notice this page is very long but doesn't have a few ships, especially with the DP characters. I guess there's not a big following now in America, but in Japan they're everywhere. So that might be part of the problem, because there might not be an American name yet.

I also wondered, maybe we could organize the article into more common ships (PokéShipping, Palletshipping, etc) and the ones that are just... really, really obscure. There might also need to be a section for ships that are a little bit more... you know, PG-13, and we could move the warning at the top to just that article (anything with incest, urine, etc...)

Anyway, here's a list of ships that I think need to be added:
* Ash x Dawn
* Paul x Dawn
* Silver x Jasmine
* Lucas x Cynthia
* Roark x Gardenia
* Volkner x Jasmine
* Volkner x Roark
* Morty x Falkner
* Lucian x Aaron
* Flint x Lucian (usually unrequitted)
* Silver x Gold -- I think "Silver" is currently listed as "Black" for some reason
* Gold x Red
*etc Unsigned comment by {{u|Greengiant}}

:The problem is that, while Luna Tiger maintains the list on BMGf, no one has updated this version of the list for over a year. That means that any ships created since then, including all the DP ships, are not reflected in it.

== Outdated? ==

So, the list on Bulbapedia was last updated on October 2009 it seems, three years ago. Of course a more updated, detailed list exists elsewhere I believe, but it still seems to really stick a sore thumb how outdated this list is.

Perhaps it should be marked with an outdated notification? Just throwing that out there. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 18:02, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

== FortuneShipping Article ==

Hate to ask, but whatever happened to the FortuneShipping article that I once helped to make? Was it deemed too pointless for it to be an article on Bulbapedia? It didn't seem pointless to me, and if it was, then I guess there would be a few other shipping articles here that could also be 'deemed' as such... But really, I'm just curious, I kinda semi-worked hard on it. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 05:17, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

==Suggestions==
What about Black x White from adventures?!

This is just my opinion, but I think we should delete the shippers page or go through some serious editing. It's sort of unrelevant to the factual articles Bulbapedia has, and most of it doesn't have proof. ~ [[User:Sméarglé|S. Mea Argle]]

In the forum thread for the list, Muka-chan suggested that people add submissions here. So I'll start with one I thought up: FenceShipping, Ash & Misty + Ash & Gary. That is, someone who believes in both PokéShipping and PalletShipping. I used to be one of those poor misguided souls... ^_^ - Ketsuban

Another suggestion from the Ket... SnapShipping should be Ash & Todd. How can it not have a name yet? *is surprised* And of course the Japanese would call it SatoTo'o or To'oSato... Also, RanmaShipping: Todd & Jesse! Because Kappei Yamaguchi is male Ranma, and Megumi Hayashibara is female Ranma! Hahahahahahaha. And shoot, I added these while logged in as Blackjack. *cries* --[[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban, NOT BLACKJACK]]

Another couple: CloneBitchShipping (Jessibelle and Misty), and CloneBrocketShipping (Jessibelle and Brock). Both of them were blushing when Jessibelle was talking about whipping James... ~Ket again

More suggestions from Ket because she has some ships that need names:

*IllusoryShipping: Brock and Lokoko
*SubmarineShipping: Hokage and Ruby
*KyogreShipping: Wattson and Flannery

Ket, FenceShipping isn't an original name. You're just reinventing one of the names I coined for them back in the old days. =p Half-breed was the term that got general acceptance BTW.
Also....GAH! Some of the names that have been edited and replaced shouldn't have been changed to their dub ones. Those Ships were meant to be specifically for the Japanese version, and not for the dubs.--[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 10:40, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

o_O Why the heck would a ship be specifically for the Japanese version? Can the characters not be involved with each other if they are speaking English? -ket

Cases where people feel that the hints weren't carried over to the dub, or where the feeling of the relationship has changed significantly. --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 21:59, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Who cares if the hints weren't carried over? Most of the shippers ''I'' know don't care about hints. And just which pairings are you talking about, anyway? -ketz

'nother suggestion: TrickShipping as Tabitha & Shizuku. [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 20:47, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

お久しぶりだね、兄弟。The ancient one is right, Half-breeds is indeed the correct term. I'd like to advocate a complete shipper history and, just for the sake of situations such as these, a shipper dictionary of terms. How about it? Marc is already aware of what we'd like to do. And for the love, open the list up to the general public. Are you so afraid of repraisals? I mean, you're going to heavily moderate that one anyway, right, Liam? [[User:サイコウ天使|「サイコウ天使」(Most High Heaven Messenger)]] 5:13AM, 7 Nov 2005 (PDT)

Since when does "Psycho Tenshi" mean "Most High Heaven Messenger"? =p So who are you exactly anyway?
A Shippers glossary would certainly be a helpful addition to 'pedia. You want to write it, go ahead.
And as for opening up the list....no. There's far too many frivolous names on there anyway. The list was never meant to be a name for everything people came up with off the top of their head, only a name for every ship that people had actually actively used in fanfics/fanart/fandom discussions/etc --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 07:32, 7 November 2005 (CST)

Since I became a Cleric. >:P There are no kanji in FFXI names（ローマ字だけ）, so I prefer to katakanaize all player character names i mention from it, including my own. This is my own convention because of circumstances. My JP friends usually prefer ro-maji, but this isn't always useful. Especially when we correspond in english, I'll usually katakanaize a person's name being discussed or add a non-romanized honorific suffix so that my friend doesn't get confused. i considered going with 最高 here, but the double entendre was my initial reason for taking this alias in the first place (and a vain hope to avoid overt vanity). If you know who I am, then you'd know that allegory is of my favorites. Ironic, that. sai = most kou = high ten = heaven shi = messenger. If you want to get literal, Supreme Angel. In angelology, this would be Seraphim or Archangels. Michael and Gabriel are said to be part of this order, but then again so is The Deciever of the Entire World. To quote Raogrimm, we have the potential to be either that greater good or greater evil.

Forgive me for babbling. I don't know if I will take up these tasks. The matters of the true world are more pressing at this time. I have a role to play which supercedes games and forums, and is in fact a matter of life and death. If you want to go off topic, I believe you know my email.

And for the sake of my sentimental heart... ReunionShipper, please!

>Should there even be ships listed in there that don't involve Pokemon characters at all? I mean, I know some of it's kitchy fandom, but where do you draw the line? Should the site cover ships that are only vaugely related to Pokemon through tenuous links via real people and unrelated other people and objects? I propose that if we DO keep the ships that have nothing to do with Pokemon and characters besides links to people who are fans of Pokemon - that they at least be regulated to a page on their own. I just don't think someone who goes "OMG! Damian and Mozz need to do eachother!" or "Rachil Lils would totally go for the Japanese voice actor of Kasumi!" deserves their own sections of the Bulbapedia, since it's not really related to Pokemon except in aroundabout way.

- Zeta

I don't think that any ships that don't involve Pokémon characters should be listed on the site. It's completely unprofessional and has nothing to do with the franchise. I mean, ships involving members of the fandom are bad enough, but why are completely unrelated pairings, like Inuyasha/Jakotsu, listed? That needs to be on an Inuyasha site, ''not'' a Pokémon encyclopedia. If you ''must'' have ships involving members of the fandom, at least put them on a separate page in the People category so that people looking for actual character ships aren't forced to dig through that other garbage. Sorry for my harsh words, but I am honestly getting fed up with the amount of non-Pokémon/unimportant fandom content going into this encyclopedia. -[[User:Argy|Argy]]

I notice this page is very long but doesn't have a few ships, especially with the DP characters. I guess there's not a big following now in America, but in Japan they're everywhere. So that might be part of the problem, because there might not be an American name yet.

I also wondered, maybe we could organize the article into more common ships (PokéShipping, Palletshipping, etc) and the ones that are just... really, really obscure. There might also need to be a section for ships that are a little bit more... you know, PG-13, and we could move the warning at the top to just that article (anything with incest, urine, etc...)

Anyway, here's a list of ships that I think need to be added:
* Ash x Dawn
* Paul x Dawn
* Silver x Jasmine
* Lucas x Cynthia
* Roark x Gardenia
* Volkner x Jasmine
* Volkner x Roark
* Morty x Falkner
* Lucian x Aaron
* Flint x Lucian (usually unrequitted)
* Silver x Gold -- I think "Silver" is currently listed as "Black" for some reason
* Gold x Red
*etc Unsigned comment by {{u|Greengiant}}

For starters, only a small handful of ships are notable for articles--I highly doubt a "Brock'sWoodenSausageShipping" (a Sudowoodo and the wooden sausage Brock carved up back in Johto) article would last long.

Awwww bugger. Anyone know how to fix the formatting for this page? It doesn't seem to like me at all. Perhaps it's the page length? Over 43kb. --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 02:35, 26 Dec 2004 (GMT)

::That's all I had. Zhen's fixed it up for me though, so no more problems. Added a quick navigation to the start. Figured that with the list so long thesedays, it'd help to skip to at least the letters of the alphabet. ^^; --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 03:19, 26 Dec 2004 (GMT)

==Suggestions==
What about Black x White from adventures?!

This is just my opinion, but I think we should delete the shippers page or go through some serious editing. It's sort of unrelevant to the factual articles Bulbapedia has, and most of it doesn't have proof. ~ [[User:Sméarglé|S. Mea Argle]]

In the forum thread for the list, Muka-chan suggested that people add submissions here. So I'll start with one I thought up: FenceShipping, Ash & Misty + Ash & Gary. That is, someone who believes in both PokéShipping and PalletShipping. I used to be one of those poor misguided souls... ^_^ - Ketsuban

Another suggestion from the Ket... SnapShipping should be Ash & Todd. How can it not have a name yet? *is surprised* And of course the Japanese would call it SatoTo'o or To'oSato... Also, RanmaShipping: Todd & Jesse! Because Kappei Yamaguchi is male Ranma, and Megumi Hayashibara is female Ranma! Hahahahahahaha. And shoot, I added these while logged in as Blackjack. *cries* --[[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban, NOT BLACKJACK]]

Another couple: CloneBitchShipping (Jessibelle and Misty), and CloneBrocketShipping (Jessibelle and Brock). Both of them were blushing when Jessibelle was talking about whipping James... ~Ket again

More suggestions from Ket because she has some ships that need names:

*IllusoryShipping: Brock and Lokoko
*SubmarineShipping: Hokage and Ruby
*KyogreShipping: Wattson and Flannery

Ket, FenceShipping isn't an original name. You're just reinventing one of the names I coined for them back in the old days. =p Half-breed was the term that got general acceptance BTW.
Also....GAH! Some of the names that have been edited and replaced shouldn't have been changed to their dub ones. Those Ships were meant to be specifically for the Japanese version, and not for the dubs.--[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 10:40, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

o_O Why the heck would a ship be specifically for the Japanese version? Can the characters not be involved with each other if they are speaking English? -ket

Cases where people feel that the hints weren't carried over to the dub, or where the feeling of the relationship has changed significantly. --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 21:59, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Who cares if the hints weren't carried over? Most of the shippers ''I'' know don't care about hints. And just which pairings are you talking about, anyway? -ketz

'nother suggestion: TrickShipping as Tabitha & Shizuku. [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 20:47, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

お久しぶりだね、兄弟。The ancient one is right, Half-breeds is indeed the correct term. I'd like to advocate a complete shipper history and, just for the sake of situations such as these, a shipper dictionary of terms. How about it? Marc is already aware of what we'd like to do. And for the love, open the list up to the general public. Are you so afraid of repraisals? I mean, you're going to heavily moderate that one anyway, right, Liam? [[User:サイコウ天使|「サイコウ天使」(Most High Heaven Messenger)]] 5:13AM, 7 Nov 2005 (PDT)

Since when does "Psycho Tenshi" mean "Most High Heaven Messenger"? =p So who are you exactly anyway?
A Shippers glossary would certainly be a helpful addition to 'pedia. You want to write it, go ahead.
And as for opening up the list....no. There's far too many frivolous names on there anyway. The list was never meant to be a name for everything people came up with off the top of their head, only a name for every ship that people had actually actively used in fanfics/fanart/fandom discussions/etc --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 07:32, 7 November 2005 (CST)

Since I became a Cleric. >:P There are no kanji in FFXI names（ローマ字だけ）, so I prefer to katakanaize all player character names i mention from it, including my own. This is my own convention because of circumstances. My JP friends usually prefer ro-maji, but this isn't always useful. Especially when we correspond in english, I'll usually katakanaize a person's name being discussed or add a non-romanized honorific suffix so that my friend doesn't get confused. i considered going with 最高 here, but the double entendre was my initial reason for taking this alias in the first place (and a vain hope to avoid overt vanity). If you know who I am, then you'd know that allegory is of my favorites. Ironic, that. sai = most kou = high ten = heaven shi = messenger. If you want to get literal, Supreme Angel. In angelology, this would be Seraphim or Archangels. Michael and Gabriel are said to be part of this order, but then again so is The Deciever of the Entire World. To quote Raogrimm, we have the potential to be either that greater good or greater evil.

Forgive me for babbling. I don't know if I will take up these tasks. The matters of the true world are more pressing at this time. I have a role to play which supercedes games and forums, and is in fact a matter of life and death. If you want to go off topic, I believe you know my email.

And for the sake of my sentimental heart... ReunionShipper, please!

:Because the (In)Complete List of Shippers is less an article made specifically for Bulbagarden, and more an article hosted by Bulbagarden. Treat it like you'd treat a game walkthrough that the creator would allow to be posted as long as it wasn't edited.
The real reason it was protected though however was so that the Shippers Community could have more control over what names are accepted as being the "official" ship names, preventing edit-wars.--[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 09:32, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Why is that listed under Ships Involving Real People? They're not paired with anyone...

While I would assume that person meant it as a ship between a person and their own ship, you're right, it should be under the main list as an alternate name, like GakiShipping.--[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 10:40, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:I don't know who added that Ship, or several others like it, but I know they weren't there when I last did a full update, which means it's one of you guys who's put it in. Unless there's a *very* good historical reason to include ships like this (And in which case, it should have the historical context mentioned in a note on the list itself), it should never have been approved for addition to the list in the first place. This is disgraceful. --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 23:27, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

>Should there even be ships listed in there that don't involve Pokemon characters at all? I mean, I know some of it's kitchy fandom, but where do you draw the line? Should the site cover ships that are only vaugely related to Pokemon through tenuous links via real people and unrelated other people and objects? I propose that if we DO keep the ships that have nothing to do with Pokemon and characters besides links to people who are fans of Pokemon - that they at least be regulated to a page on their own. I just don't think someone who goes "OMG! Damian and Mozz need to do eachother!" or "Rachil Lils would totally go for the Japanese voice actor of Kasumi!" deserves their own sections of the Bulbapedia, since it's not really related to Pokemon except in aroundabout way.

- Zeta

I don't think that any ships that don't involve Pokémon characters should be listed on the site. It's completely unprofessional and has nothing to do with the franchise. I mean, ships involving members of the fandom are bad enough, but why are completely unrelated pairings, like Inuyasha/Jakotsu, listed? That needs to be on an Inuyasha site, ''not'' a Pokémon encyclopedia. If you ''must'' have ships involving members of the fandom, at least put them on a separate page in the People category so that people looking for actual character ships aren't forced to dig through that other garbage. Sorry for my harsh words, but I am honestly getting fed up with the amount of non-Pokémon/unimportant fandom content going into this encyclopedia. -[[User:Argy|Argy]]

I made a template, {{redlink|Template:NCS}}, that I thought might be useful for certain articles after Meowth brought up the fact that one of the shipping articles I'd made might be offensive to some.

I notice this page is very long but doesn't have a few ships, especially with the DP characters. I guess there's not a big following now in America, but in Japan they're everywhere. So that might be part of the problem, because there might not be an American name yet.

I also wondered, maybe we could organize the article into more common ships (PokéShipping, Palletshipping, etc) and the ones that are just... really, really obscure. There might also need to be a section for ships that are a little bit more... you know, PG-13, and we could move the warning at the top to just that article (anything with incest, urine, etc...)

Anyway, here's a list of ships that I think need to be added:
* Ash x Dawn
* Paul x Dawn
* Silver x Jasmine
* Lucas x Cynthia
* Roark x Gardenia
* Volkner x Jasmine
* Volkner x Roark
* Morty x Falkner
* Lucian x Aaron
* Flint x Lucian (usually unrequitted)
* Silver x Gold -- I think "Silver" is currently listed as "Black" for some reason
* Gold x Red
*etc Unsigned comment by {{u|Greengiant}}

:The problem is that, while Luna Tiger maintains the list on BMGf, no one has updated this version of the list for over a year. That means that any ships created since then, including all the DP ships, are not reflected in it.

== Heartgold & Soulsilver ships needed ==

I noticed in the list of shippers, that we are missing HeartSoulShipping (EthanXLyra) and SoulsilverShipping (LyraXSilver), which i think should be on the list (being fairly popular among HGSS owners. I also think that shipping names should have links to their respective Bulbapedia Article, and that we should have a list of in-game ships between all the main player characters. [[User:Desukaan563|Desukaan563, with a pokedex of over 380!]] 03:52, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

== BW Ships ==

I know for a fact that there are two big ships, ReshiramxZekrom (Colorless Shipping) and ZoroarkxLucario (Antithetic Shipping), that are missing from the Gen V roster. There's also several others, like AshxIris (Negai Shipping) and JalordaxDaikenki (Currently unnamed). I can't edit this page, so would someone please add these ships? [[User:Namiinana|Namiinana]] 05:21, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

== Outdated? ==

So, the list on Bulbapedia was last updated on October 2009 it seems, three years ago. Of course a more updated, detailed list exists elsewhere I believe, but it still seems to really stick a sore thumb how outdated this list is.

Perhaps it should be marked with an outdated notification? Just throwing that out there. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 18:02, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

== FortuneShipping Article ==

Hate to ask, but whatever happened to the FortuneShipping article that I once helped to make? Was it deemed too pointless for it to be an article on Bulbapedia? It didn't seem pointless to me, and if it was, then I guess there would be a few other shipping articles here that could also be 'deemed' as such... But really, I'm just curious, I kinda semi-worked hard on it. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 05:17, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

:::Its notability isn't in question; it's perfectly notable.

TensionShipping, under the complete list of ships is stated to be Ash and Drew. However, when one clicks the link, it is Drew and Harley. Tension really is Drew/Harley.

Here's a possibility that popped into my mind. In Billy Joel's song "Piano Man", there's a lyric, "Now Paul is a real estate novelist...". Listen to the song if that doesn't make sense.

I think that the shippings listed here should be linked as shipping redirects, not directly.

[[File:KrazyShipping.png|250px|thumb|Meowth and Pikachu dancing, in the [[Polka O Dolka]] ending theme]]
'''KrazyShipping''', the belief in romantic love between {{MTR}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, was named for ''Krazy Kat'', a comic strip from the early 20th century about a cat who was in love with a mouse, while the mouse hated the cat.

KrazyShipping is one of the more popular pairings involving actual [[Pokémon]]. Though Meowth, along with [[Jessie]] and [[James]], is actively trying to capture Pikachu for {{an|Giovanni}}, there have been a few hints that he may harbour secret feelings for Pikachu. In the episode ''[[EP104|Bound for Trouble]]'', which is considered the most notable source for Krazyshipping evidence by many fans, they are actually very nice to each other. [[Image:PikaMeowthOffer.png|250px|thumb|Pikachu sharing half of the one apple with Meowth in ''[[EP104|Bound for Trouble]]'']]

==Evidence==

In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', both [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s Pokémon, as well as {{Ash}}'s Pokémon, get separated from their Trainers and must find their way back. Although Meowth tries to harass everyone at first, when he gets tied up, Pikachu unties him. Afterward, Meowth tries to be nice to everyone else.

In the episode ''[[EP104|Bound for Trouble]]'', Meowth and Pikachu are tied together and get lost. At first Pikachu is very mistrusting of Meowth, but the tension eventually losens up after they fight a giant {{p|Rhydon}} together. They end up getting along so well that they share an apple and Pikachu falls asleep in Meowth's lap. Meowth, still thinking Pikachu is awake, tells him that he wished things were different so they could be friends, and asks him to join [[Team Rocket]].

Their clones [[Pikachutwo]] and {{DL|Mewtwo (M01)|Meowthtwo}} appear to be very good friends. In ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', the four of them get along very well. Later, when {{MTR}} considers selflessly joining the fight to save Mewtwo and the other pokémon, he first asks {{AP|Pikachu}} if he should do so, and does it upon his approval.

In ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember]]'', Pikachu gets amnesia and is actually caught by the Rocket trio. Although Meowth does trick Pikachu into thinking it was raised by {{TRT}}, throughout the episode, Meowth admits he feels guilty about tricking Pikachu.

In ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'', when Meowth stands up for Pikachu, Pikachu smiles at Meowth, but falls over when Pikachu realizes he was talking about Team Rocket instead of Ash.

In the Polka O Dolka ending, Meowth and Pikachu are seen double dancing together.

==Alternate Names==
*NyaChuShipping - From the sounds that both Pokémon make.

==Trivia==
* In the games, both Meowth and Pikachu are in the {{egg3|Field}}, and therefore they can breed. However, Ash's Pikachu and Team Rocket's Meowth cannot breed with each other, because they have the same gender.
* Both Pokémon have, at one point, refused to evolve.
* They both have a rivalry with their evolutionary forms: {{p|Persian}} for Meowth and {{p|Raichu}} for Pikachu.
* Until the Eastern Unova arc, they were the only non-[[Unova]] based Pokémon in the ''Best Wishes'' anime series.

In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', both [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s Pokémon, as well as {{Ash}}'s Pokémon, get separated from their Trainers and must find their way back. Although Meowth tries to harass everyone at first, when he gets tied up, Pikachu unties him. Afterward, Meowth tries to be nice to everyone else.

Their clones [[Pikachutwo|clone]] and {{DL|Mewtwo (M01)|Meowthtwo}} appear to be very good friends. In ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', the four of them get along very well. Also, when {{MTR}} considers selflessly joining the fight to save Mewtwo and the other pokémon, he first asks {{AP|Pikachu}} if he should do so, and does it upon his approval.

In ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember]]'', Pikachu gets amnesia and is actually caught by the Rocket trio. Although Meowth does trick Pikachu into thinking it was raised by {{TRT}}, throughout the episode, Meowth admits he feels guilty about tricking Pikachu.

In ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'', when Meowth stands up for Pikachu, Pikachu smiles at Meowth, but falls over when Pikachu realizes he was talking about Team Rocket instead of Ash.

In the Polka O Dolka ending, Meowth and Pikachu are seen double dancing together.

==Alternate Names==
*NyaChuShipping - From the sounds that both Pokémon make.

==Trivia==
* In the games, both Meowth and Pikachu are in the {{egg3|Field}}, and therefore they can breed. However, Ash's Pikachu and Team Rocket's Meowth cannot breed with each other, because they have the same gender.
* Both Pokémon have, at one point, refused to evolve.
* They both have a rivalry with their evolutionary forms: {{p|Persian}} for Meowth and {{p|Raichu}} for Pikachu.
* Until the Eastern Unova arc, they were the only non-[[Unova]] based Pokémon in the ''Best Wishes'' anime series.

==Plot==
[[File:Mewtwo Returns DVD US.png|thumb|230px|left|DVD cover]]
{{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}, its heart having been softened by the selfless example of [[Ash Ketchum]] back in the eastern [[Kanto]] region, has now traveled to the western region of [[Johto]] in search of a place unreachable to the prying eyes and harsh judgments of humans for the sake of the band of cloned Pokémon, whose welfare Mewtwo is entirely concerned with. Mewtwo eventually finds the perfect hideaway: a huge mountain named [[Mount Quena]], surrounded by steep cliffs that are practically impossible to scale, but in its crater is a freshwater lake and a forest that is home to many {{t|Bug}} Pokémon. This is a perfect fit for Mewtwo's band, so they settle in the top of Mount Quena and begin a new, safe life. Mewtwo, feeling that clones do not belong in the outside world because they were not born in it, watches over as their guardian. Mewtwo seems particularly close to the [[Pikachutwo|Pikachu]] and {{p|Meowth}} clones, spending most of its private time with them, possibly reflecting how important their templates were in its change of heart.

{{an|Giovanni}}, however, is determined to possess Mewtwo once again, and has been planning a militaristic assault upon wherever Mewtwo has settled to take the Pokémon back for himself. He at last locates Mewtwo in its new mountain retreat, so the Team Rocket Combat Unit heads toward Mount Quena.

Ash and {{ashfr}}—on their Pokémon journey as always—are passing through an area around Mount Quena called [[Mount Quena#Purity Canyon|Purity Canyon]], which is known as [[Johto]]'s greatest natural wonder. Unfortunately, they miss the only bus that goes through the area and an unpredicted typhoon forces them to stay at a lodge at the foot of the mountain with a woman who could not board the full bus. On the road, the bus is swept up high powerful winds, but is set down by Mewtwo's powers, much to the confusion of its riders. In Mewtwo's lair, Pikachutwo questions this action, which Mewtwo explains was to prevent rescuers from jeopardizing the clones' seclusion. Meowthtwo suggests it may also have been done out of compassion, of which Mewtwo says it has none for humans.

Back at the lodge, Pokémon naturalist [[Luna Carson]] explains that the only ways through the valley are a canoe ride down the river or the monthly bus service. Later, Luna serves them fresh water from [[Mount Quena#Purity River|Purity River]], and everyone but Ash is amazed by its taste. With no other option for transportation, the group leave that night, taking the canoes downstream. Along the way, they come across the Bug Pokémon {{p|Ledian}}, {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, and {{p|Beedrill}}, the last of which causes {{an|Misty}} to frantically paddle back upstream. Back at the lodge, {{an|Brock}} suggests they scale Mount Quena, but Luna warns that is impassible despite featuring beautiful [[Mount Quena#Clarity Lake|Clarity Lake]] in its crater. A knock on the door brings new lodge inhabitants: medical researcher [[Cullen Calix]] and a spunky girl from the Pokémon Institute, [[Domino]]. Cullen says he is studying the medicinal properties of Purity River water and wants to explore Mount Quena, which Luna laments would bring tourists and destruction to the ecosystem.

Suddenly, {{TRT}} announces their presence with firecrackers and their {{motto}}. [[James]] grabs {{AP|Pikachu}} with an electricity-absorbing whip and escapes with [[Jessie]], and {{MTR}} in their rocket-powered balloon, but the turbulent winds cause them to lose control and push them toward Mount Quena. The group equips climbing gear and chases after them, avoiding gusty winds and even a falling boulder. Team Rocket's balloon swings by and hooks their climbing rope, dragging the group into the air. Domino spots Mewtwo in Mount Quena through her binoculars and transmits a video feed to none other than Giovanni. Upon seeing the approaching Combat Unit, Domino climbs up the rope past the others, lands in the balloon's basket, and reveals herself to be in league with Team Rocket as elite Agent 009, also known as The Black Tulip for her use of the flowers as weapons. Domino pops the balloon with one and sends everyone else plummeting onto the mountain while she returns via paraglider to Giovanni's large helicopter to report on Mewtwo's status.

Pikachu and Team Rocket end up separated from the others and quickly encounter the clones. Pikachu's clone attacks Pikachu for suddenly appearing, but Mewtwo forces it to stop. Agitated by the approaching humans, Pikachutwo rallies the other clones to fight back against the invading Combat Unit. Mewtwo stays behind with other clones and contemplates whether to stop the fighters from endangering themselves or letting them act freely. Ash and the other humans land unharmed, but separated from Pikachu by a lake. They use {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Chikorita}}'s {{m|Razor Leaf}} to make a canoe and oars out of a fallen tree, and with it they traverse the lake to reach the island at the center of Mount Quena's crater. They enter a natural sanctuary in the island, where Cullen discovers that the water inside could have a profound impact on medicine. Luna fears that any future human presence could taint the purity of the water and destroy the habitat.

Some of the clones imprison Jessie and James in a cave and head off with Pikachu and Meowth to fight Team Rocket's forces. However, as soon as the Pokémon land ashore, a Team Rocket helicopter appears and stuns the clones with energy blasts. An airship drops Team Rocket [[Poké Ball]]s that capture most of the clones, and just as Pikachutwo is about to be caught by one, Pikachu deflects it with an electric attack. He also shocks Pikachutwo in order to invigorate it and escape, which Meowth emulates by scratching Meowthtwo's face. The four Pokémon flee from the helicopter's blasts, but find themselves trapped against a hill. A {{m|Shadow Ball}} saves the group from an incoming stun blast, revealing Mewtwo floating in the air behind the helicopter. Mewtwo frees the clone, disintegrates their Poké Balls, and throws another Shadow Ball, but the helicopter evades the attack.

Giovanni emerges on a platform to speak with Mewtwo, but the Pokémon refuses to go along with Giovanni's plans. The helicopter deploys two machines that surround Mewtwo and give it a powerful electric shock. Mewtwo pushes the machines into rock walls with its psychic power and defies Giovanni once more. Giovanni turns his attention to the island harboring the rest of the clones for phase two of the operation. Along with paragliding Team Rocket Grunts, Domino flies over using a jetpack and eventually comes across Ash's group, who are quickly restrained by metal rings to prevent their interference. Domino subdues the island's Pokémon with stunning tulips and restraining rings and reports her findings to Giovanni, who challenges Mewtwo to stop him. Mewtwo declares that it will protect the clones and telekinetically brings the other Pokémon to the island with it.

Soon, Domino, Mewtwo, and Giovanni meet on the island, at which point Giovanni tells Mewtwo that it must surrender. Mewtwo replies that it would rather leave this world than serve him, but Giovanni threatens to subject the other clones to experiments that would cause them to perish. Mewtwo then agrees. Giovanni reactivates the machines from earlier and tells Mewtwo to enter the energy field between them, which will harness Mewtwo's power and bend its will to his. Domino demonstrates Team Rocket's threat by firing blasts from her tulip at Pikachutwo. With Mewtwo trapped by the force of the machines' energy and his operation successful, Giovanni makes plans to build a Team Rocket laboratory on the island to create an army of powerful clone Pokémon. Mewtwo ceases its struggle just as Giovanni states that it will be his tool to rule the world. The other characters and Pokémon are then locked away in a prison cell, where Ash is reunited with Pikachu.

Outside, construction is well under way on the Team Rocket base. In a phone call, Giovanni tells Domino that Mewtwo's brain waves are resisting the machine's influence at a rate that would destroy its body before giving in. The industrial waste from the base attracts the ire of Mount Quena's resident Bug Pokémon: hundreds of Ledian, {{p|Butterfree}}, and Beedrill, whose lake water is now polluted. When the welders inside the facility are taken out by Butterfree's {{m|Sleep Powder}}, a dropped blowtorch ignites the fuel cells below and causes enormous chain explosions, one of which destroys the cell bars and frees the human and Pokémon prisoners. Luna and Cullen head toward the spring to check its purity.

Domino throws black tulips at a group of Ledian, but several {{p|Scyther}} slice the weapons up. She then uses a rod-like tulip to fend off an attacking Scyther and vault over the Ledian swarm. After being forced to mop the floor earlier, Jessie and James enjoy Domino slipping and falling head-first into a bucket of water.

Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Brock, Pikachutwo, Meowth, and Meowthtwo find Mewtwo. Everyone but Misty tries to free Mewtwo by tackling one of the machines, but it only tips over and maintains the energy field. Mewtwo resorts to using the last of its power to overload the machines. Pikachu and Pikachutwo use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on one of them, which explodes. The field breaks, and Mewtwo collapses to the ground. The other machine appears to malfunction and self-destruct. Before they can take Mewtwo to the spring to recover, Giovanni appears with Team Rocket and claims that Mewtwo belongs to him. Brock and Misty release all their Pokémon to fight, and the clone and Bug Pokémon show up as well. Meowth flees the scene with Jessie and James while Ash takes Mewtwo away by himself.

As Ash, Bulbasaur, and Chikorita transport Mewtwo to safety, Mewtwo asks why Ash is helping it. Ash replies that Mewtwo saving Pikachu is one reason, and at Mewtwo's questioning, goes on to say that you do not need a reason to help someone in trouble. Mewtwo reflects that Ash may be one-of-a-kind, but Ash says that everyone is. They reach the heart of the mountain, and despite Cullen's protests that Mewtwo may contaminate the spring, Ash throws Mewtwo in because it needs the water's healing power most. Since the water heals it like it does other Pokémon, Mewtwo realizes that it does belong in this world. A blast from a helicopter announces Giovanni's sudden presence, but a rejuvenated Mewtwo rises from the water to protect the land it calls home. Mewtwo causes a great blue light to shoot up from the entire lake and pierce the heavens.

Night has fallen, and Team Rocket wake up from unconsciousness in a dry crater. Underground, Mewtwo explains to the other humans that it has moved the lake and spring inside Mount Quena for greater protection. When Mewtwo decides to erase the memories of everyone involved, Meowth and the other Pokémon object, arguing that the past forms part of a living creature's identity and it is entitled to it. Misty and Brock add that forgetting the past does not change it and everyone deserves to know where they came from. Mewtwo changes its mind, stating that we should be able to look to the past just as much as the future, and the shame of others' wrongdoing is theirs alone. A group of Butterfree spread powder enhanced with Mewtwo's psychic abilities to erase the memories of the Team Rocket operatives as well as Luna and Cullen, whose well-meaning desire to research the spring may put it in jeopardy. Like the Team Rocket trio before them, Ash and his friends board a Pikachu balloon to leave Mount Quena. Mewtwo earnestly thanks them for their help and departs with all the cloned Pokémon to live elsewhere as natural Pokémon in the wild.

Some time later, as Ash, Misty, and Brock walk through a city, Ash hears Mewtwo's voice, but is uncertain whether it was real or just a memory. The [[narrator]] concludes the movie with the rumors of a Pokémon who traverses a faraway city at night.

==Trivia==
[[File:Baby Nidoqueen and Baby Rhyhorn.png|thumb|250px|Baby Nidoqueen and Rhyhorn]]
* This special was released between [[EP178]] and [[EP179]] in Japan.
* Before being blasted off by the typhoon, {{TRT}} said "How many times must our plans be destroyed, before they're allowed to be tried? The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind!" which is a reference to the {{wp|Bob Dylan}} song "{{wp|Blowin' in the Wind}}".
* This was the first time that any part of the anime franchise, other than openings, used digital coloring.
* During the conversation between [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Pikachutwo]], and {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} (immediately following Pikachu's arrival on the island), [[James]] comments, "This is like the sequel to a movie I missed." [[Breaking the fourth wall]], this comment is essentially true, since Mewtwo wiped James's memory of the events of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
* Music from ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' is used extensively in this special.
* The cloned {{p|Nidoqueen}} and {{p|Rhyhorn}} are shown to have produced offspring. Even if Nidoqueen was able to produce {{pkmn|Egg}}s, the babies would ''all'' be {{p|Nidoran♀|the first member of the female evolutionary line}}. This may be due to [[anime physics]] or their nature as clones, but the fact that nobody questioned their existence (or know about the clones yet) would suggest it was simply an error.
* When the clones are captured by Team Rocket's [[Poké Ball]]s, they become white energy instead of red, as usual. This may be attributed to the nature of clones or the Balls themselves.
* When [[Domino]] tosses out electric net-like lines, they electrocute both Rhyhorn and Nidoqueen clones. However, if clones keep the same type combinations as their originals, their {{t|Ground}} type should make them immune. This may be due to anime physics or the nets being made with advanced technology.
* At the end, Ash says "'''This time''' we'll both be able to remember." This may mean that Mewtwo informed him of their previous encounter. However, this is dub-only.
* At the end, Mewtwo overlooks a city whose buildings are similar to {{wp|New York City}}'s {{wp|Empire State Building}} and {{wp|MetLife Building}}.
** This ending is later referenced in the credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', when another {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} is last seen overlooking a city at night.
* The [[List of English language Pokémon anime special home video releases (Region 2)|United Kingdom VHS release]] refers to the special as ''Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns - The Movie''.

===Errors===
* When the clones are first shown on [[Mount Quena]], {{DL|Mewtwo (M01)|Blastoisetwo}}'s lower jaw is blue instead of beige.
* While riding on Blastoisetwo's back on their way to the battle, {{MTR}} and {{DL|Mewtwo (M01)|Meowthtwo}}'s feet are a darker brown than usual.
* {{an|Giovanni}} and [[Domino]] emerge from the helicopter side-by-side, but the next shot shows Domino farther back and the platform appears to have changed shape. When the camera angle changes again, she is back in her original position.

===Dub edits===
* The dub adds Mewtwo's beginning monologue of the first movie's events, whereas the original had the montage with no commentary.
* Domino only calls [[Mount Quena]] a "remote area in Johto" in the dub.
* Mewtwo's opening lines are mostly different in the dub. After pondering its existence, Mewtwo originally explains who it and the Pokémon accompanying it are, and their origins. In the dub, Mewtwo says it feels it has no right to judge their habitat as beautiful because the clones are artificial. Similarly, the dub implies that the clones were victims of discrimination, while the Japanese version states that they chose to avoid the outside world.
* The dub states that the bus trips are monthly instead of weekly.
* The meal Brock planned to make was changed from pancakes with lots of syrup to "spicy pizza pancakes."
* There were several differences when Meowth reads the Mount Quena guidebook.
** Both versions mention Mt. Quena's volatile typhoons, but the dub adds that severe blizzards and thunderstorms also occur.
** Meowth identifies the storm as a typhoon instead of Jessie.
** The guidebook advises not to go to Mt. Quena in the dub, while the original states that tourists generally avoid it completely.
** Meowth's {{wp|Blowin' in the Wind}} reference was only in the dub. He originally says "Everyone, all together now…" implying that blasting off has become routine.
* [[Luka Carson]] is not identified as Luna's older sister in the dub.
* Brock's comment about getting "real close" under the frying pan was originally about using it as a "[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/相合傘 love-love umbrella]," a term for an umbrella shared by lovers in Japan.
* Luna originally offers to let them in for a shower and change of clothes, but does not mention the chances of going to Mount Quena on foot.
* Instead of denying a soft spot for humans after saving them, Mewtwo thinks about the possibility in the original.
* Luna adds that the lodge was built ten years ago.
* Ash says the water tastes okay in the original, but {{Delia|his mother}}'s chocolate milk tastes better. In the dub, Ash instead says it "tastes like something's been swimming around in it."
* Luna calls Mount Quena the highest mountain in Johto in the dub, whereas she only states that the steep cliffs prevent human activity from accessing the area in the original.
** She also claims that only Pokémon that can survive in the extreme conditions can live up on the mountain, when in the original, she mentions that water flows into Purity Lake through the river.
* The scene in which Mewtwo talks with Pikachutwo and Meowthtwo about their next actions has some differences:
** Mewtwo's attitude is changed from normal to rude and dismissive.
** Pikachutwo originally compares their Mt. Quena hideout to being locked up in a jail cell, something not expressed in the dub.
* [[Domino]] and [[Cullen Calix]] arrive at the lodge early in the morning in the dub, whereas no timeframe was stated in the original.
** Luna's specification that researching native Pokémon is her full-time job and manning the bus stop is part-time are dub-only.
* The dated slang used by Domino when formally introducing herself to Luna was dub-only.
* In the Japanese version, Cullen specifies that he wants to study Purity Lake to verify if it was responsible for the river's famous purity, something not directly stated in the dub.
* When escaping, Jessie makes a reference to the Frank Sinatra song "{{wp|Fly Me to the Moon}}," something not very apparent in the dub.
* Giovanni mentions that Mewtwo's companions are "unnatural" in the dub. He originally is not surprised by their presence and mentions that even Mewtwo would desire companionship.
* The dub removes the modified [[Team Rocket]] {{motto}} Domino says in her introduction.
* Domino originally mentions that she is an A-Class Numbers member of Team Rocket, while the dub replaces this with her codenames 009 and Black Tulip.
** Only in the dub does Domino confirm that she works for the Pokémon Institute.
* Jessie originally asks why their hot air balloon has no safety devices at all, when in the dub she considers an alternate mode of transportation.
* Mewtwo's reason for scolding Pikachutwo is changed from having an unnecessary battle with {{AP|Pikachu}} to starting a fight in the first place. In addition, when Mewtwo states that the clones and originals are both living things, the dub adds a reference to the events of the first movie.
* In the original, Mewtwo hoped that the Team Rocket trio would just forget about the clones, but their crashing into Mt. Quena made that impossible, something the dub does not directly indicate.
* Pikachutwo's questioning of its role and existence is more of a rant in the dub.
** In addition, Jessie and James's reasons for sympathizing with the clones were completely different between the versions. In the Japanese, they sympathized with wanting to go out into the world and be free. In the dub, Jessie only seems to sympathize with being a misfit, with James agreeing in a variation of their motto.
* In Pikachutwo's warning to evacuate before Team Rocket arrives, it adds that the experiments they planned to do on them involved cloning, which the Japanese version does not specify.
** Pikachutwo also says that this is their chance to strike, something implied but not directly stated in the dub.
** Mewtwo's comment about evacuating and finding another hideout omits the reference to the humans as their parents.

* Cullen deduces that Purity Lake is the source for Purity River in the dub when he originally states that he found Purity Lake.
* Luna's warning that disrupting the balance of the water would affect the Pokémon's sensibility and personalities in addition to their health was cut in the dub.
* Meowthtwo originally expresses interest in the moon before Meowth warns him to forget it and flee before the Poké Balls capture them, but this was not directly indicated in the dub.
* Mewtwo grunting when using attacks was cut from the dub.
* In the dub, Giovanni mentions having put a "considerable investment" on the machines used to contain Mewtwo. In the original line, he merely tells Mewtwo that the power of humans is nothing to look down upon.
* The exchange of words between Mewtwo and Giovanni in the next scene was notably changed in the dub. Mewtwo says that Giovanni will not be able to defeat it and Giovanni replies that Mewtwo's Psychic powers cannot influence machines. Mewtwo originally asks if Giovanni thinks heartless machines will be able to defeat it and Giovanni replies that the machines are designed to capture Mewtwo, not defeat it.
* Prior to locking them up, Domino originally gave a thinly veiled threat that she and her men would kill Ash, Misty, Brock, Luna, and Cullen for seeing too much if they dare try to resist their captivity. This was toned down in the dub.
* The scene with Team Rocket in the jail cell is completely different between the two versions: Originally, Jessie and James note they have yet to say their catchphrase when blasting off, so they decide to use it while waiting for Meowth's return. In the dub, they decide to rehearse a new motto in the event of Meowth's desertion, only to use a variation of their blast-off catchphrase.
** The shot of when Jessie and James say "Looks like Team Rocket's never blasting off again!" and the camera zooms out to view Mount Quena was shortened by six seconds in the dub.
* Domino's report has her mentioning Ash's name to Giovanni in the Japanese version, something omitted in the dub.
* Giovanni mentions that depending on Mewtwo's next move, the cloned Pokémon will either live or die in the Japanese version, while the dub has him demanding to know whether Mewtwo intends to let its clone Pokémon battle him alone.
* Instead of Meowth asking to keep his aid to the clones a secret from Giovanni, in the dub he decides to follow Mewtwo's example of selflessness in aiding the clones.
* Mewtwo's and Giovanni's references to death (opting to die over serving Giovanni and threatening to subject the clones to deadly experiments, respectively) were toned down to a softer "leave this world."
* Mewtwo specifies in the Japanese version that Giovanni's after it, not the other clones when deciding to submit, something not made clear in the dub.
* In the dub, Giovanni intends to turn the island into a new laboratory, whereas he talks about a secret base in the original.
* Giovanni claims that he will pursue world domination with Mewtwo leading his army of cloned super-Pokémon in the dub, while he originally says Mewtwo will look forward to the day his army is complete.
* When Giovanni and Domino talk about Mewtwo's weakened state, Domino originally says that Mewtwo's death would be the loss of everything they have worked so hard for. Likely to avoid a reference to death in the dub, Domino says that it would take years to clone Mewtwo again.
* When angry {{t|Bug}} Pokémon start attacking Team Rocket and [[Giovanni's Persian]] grows restless, Giovanni shushes it in the dub, whereas he asks it what is wrong originally.
* When Domino launches several tulips at the Bug Pokémon in the original version, she calls out what can be translated as "Shoot blindly!" or "Disorderly shot!", as if it was the name of an attack like a Pokémon would use. In the dub, there was no dialogue in this scene.
* In the original version, James mentions that Giovanni catching him and Jessie dawdling would look very bad, while in the dub, James says that Giovanni will ask for their expense report as a drastic measure.
* In the dub, Giovanni yells "No!" when Ash moves Mewtwo, but he originally orders his men to go after them.
* In the original, Giovanni says that they must kill all the cloned Pokémon when they prevent him and his men from pursuing Ash and Pikachu. In the dub, he only says that he will "crush them".
* The dub omits Ash's explanation that Mewtwo needs to be completely submerged into Purity Lake if it is to heal since a sip of water might not be enough.
* Mewtwo's soliloquy when being submerged was originally reiterating its questions about itself, and then deciding that it was a living being that deserves to live in this world as much as anyone else.
* After Mewtwo moves the lake into hiding in the dub, Ash says that he wants to tell {{an|Professor Oak}} about this. Originally, Ash awes how amazing Mewtwo's powers are.
* Mewtwo realizing it should not eliminate the shame of the past and protect it from those who do want to silence it was dub-only. Originally, it only said that the clone Pokémon have every right to live in the natural world and they should pursue their own journey.
* When leaving, Meowth originally said the moon was full and the weather was perfect for flying, while in the dub, he tells the clones to say "hello" if they ever fly by their balloon.
* Ash implies that Mewtwo told him about what happened in their prior meeting in the dub, but he only says he would like to meet it again in the original.
* Mewtwo does not mention going from time and space to Ash if it ever hears him in the original, instead mentioning that Ash should turn around if he mentions its name.
* Cullen originally said he was staying behind to continue his research, instead of whether he and Luna had anything in common besides research like in the dub.
* When Ash hears Mewtwo's voice in the big city, it says "I will remember you, always" in the dub, when it originally says "I am here," a reference to the special's Japanese title.
* The [[narrator]]'s closing line says nothing about moonlight in the Japanese version, instead wondering if the rumors of a mysterious Pokémon in living a city somewhere are true or not.

==Plot==
[[File:Mewtwo Returns DVD US.png|thumb|230px|left|DVD cover]]
{{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}, its heart having been softened by the selfless example of [[Ash Ketchum]] back in the eastern [[Kanto]] region, has now traveled to the western region of [[Johto]] in search of a place unreachable to the prying eyes and harsh judgments of humans for the sake of the band of cloned Pokémon, whose welfare Mewtwo is entirely concerned with. Mewtwo eventually finds the perfect hideaway: a huge mountain named [[Mount Quena]], surrounded by steep cliffs that are practically impossible to scale, but in its crater is a freshwater lake and a forest that is home to many {{t|Bug}} Pokémon. This is a perfect fit for Mewtwo's band, so they settle in the top of Mount Quena and begin a new, safe life. Mewtwo, feeling that clones do not belong in the outside world because they were not born in it, watches over as their guardian. Mewtwo seems particularly close to the [[Pikachutwo|Pikachu]] and {{p|Meowth}} clones, spending most of its private time with them, possibly reflecting how important their templates were in its change of heart.

{{an|Giovanni}}, however, is determined to possess Mewtwo once again, and has been planning a militaristic assault upon wherever Mewtwo has settled to take the Pokémon back for himself. He at last locates Mewtwo in its new mountain retreat, so the Team Rocket Combat Unit heads toward Mount Quena.

Ash and {{ashfr}}—on their Pokémon journey as always—are passing through an area around Mount Quena called [[Mount Quena#Purity Canyon|Purity Canyon]], which is known as [[Johto]]'s greatest natural wonder. Unfortunately, they miss the only bus that goes through the area and an unpredicted typhoon forces them to stay at a lodge at the foot of the mountain with a woman who could not board the full bus. On the road, the bus is swept up high powerful winds, but is set down by Mewtwo's powers, much to the confusion of its riders. In Mewtwo's lair, Pikachutwo questions this action, which Mewtwo explains was to prevent rescuers from jeopardizing the clones' seclusion. Meowthtwo suggests it may also have been done out of compassion, of which Mewtwo says it has none for humans.

Back at the lodge, Pokémon naturalist [[Luna Carson]] explains that the only ways through the valley are a canoe ride down the river or the monthly bus service. Later, Luna serves them fresh water from [[Mount Quena#Purity River|Purity River]], and everyone but Ash is amazed by its taste. With no other option for transportation, the group leave that night, taking the canoes downstream. Along the way, they come across the Bug Pokémon {{p|Ledian}}, {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, and {{p|Beedrill}}, the last of which causes {{an|Misty}} to frantically paddle back upstream. Back at the lodge, {{an|Brock}} suggests they scale Mount Quena, but Luna warns that is impassible despite featuring beautiful [[Mount Quena#Clarity Lake|Clarity Lake]] in its crater. A knock on the door brings new lodge inhabitants: medical researcher [[Cullen Calix]] and a spunky girl from the Pokémon Institute, [[Domino]]. Cullen says he is studying the medicinal properties of Purity River water and wants to explore Mount Quena, which Luna laments would bring tourists and destruction to the ecosystem.

Suddenly, {{TRT}} announces their presence with firecrackers and their {{motto}}. [[James]] grabs {{AP|Pikachu}} with an electricity-absorbing whip and escapes with [[Jessie]], and {{MTR}} in their rocket-powered balloon, but the turbulent winds cause them to lose control and push them toward Mount Quena. The group equips climbing gear and chases after them, avoiding gusty winds and even a falling boulder. Team Rocket's balloon swings by and hooks their climbing rope, dragging the group into the air. Domino spots Mewtwo in Mount Quena through her binoculars and transmits a video feed to none other than Giovanni. Upon seeing the approaching Combat Unit, Domino climbs up the rope past the others, lands in the balloon's basket, and reveals herself to be in league with Team Rocket as elite Agent 009, also known as The Black Tulip for her use of the flowers as weapons. Domino pops the balloon with one and sends everyone else plummeting onto the mountain while she returns via paraglider to Giovanni's large helicopter to report on Mewtwo's status.

Pikachu and Team Rocket end up separated from the others and quickly encounter the clones. Pikachu's clone attacks Pikachu for suddenly appearing, but Mewtwo forces it to stop. Agitated by the approaching humans, Pikachutwo rallies the other clones to fight back against the invading Combat Unit. Mewtwo stays behind with other clones and contemplates whether to stop the fighters from endangering themselves or letting them act freely. Ash and the other humans land unharmed, but separated from Pikachu by a lake. They use {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Chikorita}}'s {{m|Razor Leaf}} to make a canoe and oars out of a fallen tree, and with it they traverse the lake to reach the island at the center of Mount Quena's crater. They enter a natural sanctuary in the island, where Cullen discovers that the water inside could have a profound impact on medicine. Luna fears that any future human presence could taint the purity of the water and destroy the habitat.

Some of the clones imprison Jessie and James in a cave and head off with Pikachu and Meowth to fight Team Rocket's forces. However, as soon as the Pokémon land ashore, a Team Rocket helicopter appears and stuns the clones with energy blasts. An airship drops Team Rocket [[Poké Ball]]s that capture most of the clones, and just as Pikachutwo is about to be caught by one, Pikachu deflects it with an electric attack. He also shocks Pikachutwo in order to invigorate it and escape, which Meowth emulates by scratching Meowthtwo's face. The four Pokémon flee from the helicopter's blasts, but find themselves trapped against a hill. A {{m|Shadow Ball}} saves the group from an incoming stun blast, revealing Mewtwo floating in the air behind the helicopter. Mewtwo frees the clone, disintegrates their Poké Balls, and throws another Shadow Ball, but the helicopter evades the attack.

Giovanni emerges on a platform to speak with Mewtwo, but the Pokémon refuses to go along with Giovanni's plans. The helicopter deploys two machines that surround Mewtwo and give it a powerful electric shock. Mewtwo pushes the machines into rock walls with its psychic power and defies Giovanni once more. Giovanni turns his attention to the island harboring the rest of the clones for phase two of the operation. Along with paragliding Team Rocket Grunts, Domino flies over using a jetpack and eventually comes across Ash's group, who are quickly restrained by metal rings to prevent their interference. Domino subdues the island's Pokémon with stunning tulips and restraining rings and reports her findings to Giovanni, who challenges Mewtwo to stop him. Mewtwo declares that it will protect the clones and telekinetically brings the other Pokémon to the island with it.

Soon, Domino, Mewtwo, and Giovanni meet on the island, at which point Giovanni tells Mewtwo that it must surrender. Mewtwo replies that it would rather leave this world than serve him, but Giovanni threatens to subject the other clones to experiments that would cause them to perish. Mewtwo then agrees. Giovanni reactivates the machines from earlier and tells Mewtwo to enter the energy field between them, which will harness Mewtwo's power and bend its will to his. Domino demonstrates Team Rocket's threat by firing blasts from her tulip at Pikachutwo. With Mewtwo trapped by the force of the machines' energy and his operation successful, Giovanni makes plans to build a Team Rocket laboratory on the island to create an army of powerful clone Pokémon. Mewtwo ceases its struggle just as Giovanni states that it will be his tool to rule the world. The other characters and Pokémon are then locked away in a prison cell, where Ash is reunited with Pikachu.

Outside, construction is well under way on the Team Rocket base. In a phone call, Giovanni tells Domino that Mewtwo's brain waves are resisting the machine's influence at a rate that would destroy its body before giving in. The industrial waste from the base attracts the ire of Mount Quena's resident Bug Pokémon: hundreds of Ledian, {{p|Butterfree}}, and Beedrill, whose lake water is now polluted. When the welders inside the facility are taken out by Butterfree's {{m|Sleep Powder}}, a dropped blowtorch ignites the fuel cells below and causes enormous chain explosions, one of which destroys the cell bars and frees the human and Pokémon prisoners. Luna and Cullen head toward the spring to check its purity.

Domino throws black tulips at a group of Ledian, but several {{p|Scyther}} slice the weapons up. She then uses a rod-like tulip to fend off an attacking Scyther and vault over the Ledian swarm. After being forced to mop the floor earlier, Jessie and James enjoy Domino slipping and falling head-first into a bucket of water.

Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Brock, Pikachutwo, Meowth, and Meowthtwo find Mewtwo. Everyone but Misty tries to free Mewtwo by tackling one of the machines, but it only tips over and maintains the energy field. Mewtwo resorts to using the last of its power to overload the machines. Pikachu and Pikachutwo use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on one of them, which explodes. The field breaks, and Mewtwo collapses to the ground. The other machine appears to malfunction and self-destruct. Before they can take Mewtwo to the spring to recover, Giovanni appears with Team Rocket and claims that Mewtwo belongs to him. Brock and Misty release all their Pokémon to fight, and the clone and Bug Pokémon show up as well. Meowth flees the scene with Jessie and James while Ash takes Mewtwo away by himself.

As Ash, Bulbasaur, and Chikorita transport Mewtwo to safety, Mewtwo asks why Ash is helping it. Ash replies that Mewtwo saving Pikachu is one reason, and at Mewtwo's questioning, goes on to say that you do not need a reason to help someone in trouble. Mewtwo reflects that Ash may be one-of-a-kind, but Ash says that everyone is. They reach the heart of the mountain, and despite Cullen's protests that Mewtwo may contaminate the spring, Ash throws Mewtwo in because it needs the water's healing power most. Since the water heals it like it does other Pokémon, Mewtwo realizes that it does belong in this world. A blast from a helicopter announces Giovanni's sudden presence, but a rejuvenated Mewtwo rises from the water to protect the land it calls home. Mewtwo causes a great blue light to shoot up from the entire lake and pierce the heavens.

Night has fallen, and Team Rocket wake up from unconsciousness in a dry crater. Underground, Mewtwo explains to the other humans that it has moved the lake and spring inside Mount Quena for greater protection. When Mewtwo decides to erase the memories of everyone involved, Meowth and the other Pokémon object, arguing that the past forms part of a living creature's identity and it is entitled to it. Misty and Brock add that forgetting the past does not change it and everyone deserves to know where they came from. Mewtwo changes its mind, stating that we should be able to look to the past just as much as the future, and the shame of others' wrongdoing is theirs alone. A group of Butterfree spread powder enhanced with Mewtwo's psychic abilities to erase the memories of the Team Rocket operatives as well as Luna and Cullen, whose well-meaning desire to research the spring may put it in jeopardy. Like the Team Rocket trio before them, Ash and his friends board a Pikachu balloon to leave Mount Quena. Mewtwo earnestly thanks them for their help and departs with all the cloned Pokémon to live elsewhere as natural Pokémon in the wild.

Some time later, as Ash, Misty, and Brock walk through a city, Ash hears Mewtwo's voice, but is uncertain whether it was real or just a memory. The [[narrator]] concludes the movie with the rumors of a Pokémon who traverses a faraway city at night.

==Manga adaptation==

==Trivia==
[[File:Baby Nidoqueen and Baby Rhyhorn.png|thumb|250px|Baby Nidoqueen and Rhyhorn]]
* This special was released between [[EP178]] and [[EP179]] in Japan.
* Before being blasted off by the typhoon, {{TRT}} said "How many times must our plans be destroyed, before they're allowed to be tried? The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind!" which is a reference to the {{wp|Bob Dylan}} song "{{wp|Blowin' in the Wind}}".
* This was the first time that any part of the anime franchise, other than openings, used digital coloring.
* During the conversation between [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Pikachutwo]], and {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} (immediately following Pikachu's arrival on the island), [[James]] comments, "This is like the sequel to a movie I missed." [[Breaking the fourth wall]], this comment is essentially true, since Mewtwo wiped James's memory of the events of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
* Music from ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' is used extensively in this special.
* The cloned {{p|Nidoqueen}} and {{p|Rhyhorn}} are shown to have produced offspring. Even if Nidoqueen was able to produce {{pkmn|Egg}}s, the babies would ''all'' be {{p|Nidoran♀|the first member of the female evolutionary line}}. This may be due to [[anime physics]] or their nature as clones, but the fact that nobody questioned their existence (or know about the clones yet) would suggest it was simply an error.
* When the clones are captured by Team Rocket's [[Poké Ball]]s, they become white energy instead of red, as usual. This may be attributed to the nature of clones or the Balls themselves.
* When [[Domino]] tosses out electric net-like lines, they electrocute both Rhyhorn and Nidoqueen clones. However, if clones keep the same type combinations as their originals, their {{t|Ground}} type should make them immune. This may be due to anime physics or the nets being made with advanced technology.
* At the end, Ash says "'''This time''' we'll both be able to remember." This may mean that Mewtwo informed him of their previous encounter. However, this is dub-only.
* At the end, Mewtwo overlooks a city whose buildings are similar to {{wp|New York City}}'s {{wp|Empire State Building}} and {{wp|MetLife Building}}.
** This ending is later referenced in the credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', when another {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} is last seen overlooking a city at night.
* The [[List of English language Pokémon anime special home video releases (Region 2)|United Kingdom VHS release]] refers to the special as ''Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns - The Movie''.

===Errors===
* When the clones are first shown on [[Mount Quena]], {{DL|Mewtwo (M01)|Blastoisetwo}}'s lower jaw is blue instead of beige.
* While riding on Blastoisetwo's back on their way to the battle, {{MTR}} and {{DL|Mewtwo (M01)|Meowthtwo}}'s feet are a darker brown than usual.
* {{an|Giovanni}} and [[Domino]] emerge from the helicopter side-by-side, but the next shot shows Domino farther back and the platform appears to have changed shape. When the camera angle changes again, she is back in her original position.

===Dub edits===
* The dub adds Mewtwo's beginning monologue of the first movie's events, whereas the original had the montage with no commentary.
* Domino only calls [[Mount Quena]] a "remote area in Johto" in the dub.
* Mewtwo's opening lines are mostly different in the dub. After pondering its existence, Mewtwo originally explains who it and the Pokémon accompanying it are, and their origins. In the dub, Mewtwo says it feels it has no right to judge their habitat as beautiful because the clones are artificial. Similarly, the dub implies that the clones were victims of discrimination, while the Japanese version states that they chose to avoid the outside world.
* The dub states that the bus trips are monthly instead of weekly.
* The meal Brock planned to make was changed from pancakes with lots of syrup to "spicy pizza pancakes."
* There were several differences when Meowth reads the Mount Quena guidebook.
** Both versions mention Mt. Quena's volatile typhoons, but the dub adds that severe blizzards and thunderstorms also occur.
** Meowth identifies the storm as a typhoon instead of Jessie.
** The guidebook advises not to go to Mt. Quena in the dub, while the original states that tourists generally avoid it completely.
** Meowth's {{wp|Blowin' in the Wind}} reference was only in the dub. He originally says "Everyone, all together now…" implying that blasting off has become routine.
* [[Luka Carson]] is not identified as Luna's older sister in the dub.
* Brock's comment about getting "real close" under the frying pan was originally about using it as a "[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/相合傘 love-love umbrella]," a term for an umbrella shared by lovers in Japan.
* Luna originally offers to let them in for a shower and change of clothes, but does not mention the chances of going to Mount Quena on foot.
* Instead of denying a soft spot for humans after saving them, Mewtwo thinks about the possibility in the original.
* Luna adds that the lodge was built ten years ago.
* Ash says the water tastes okay in the original, but {{Delia|his mother}}'s chocolate milk tastes better. In the dub, Ash instead says it "tastes like something's been swimming around in it."
* Luna calls Mount Quena the highest mountain in Johto in the dub, whereas she only states that the steep cliffs prevent human activity from accessing the area in the original.
** She also claims that only Pokémon that can survive in the extreme conditions can live up on the mountain, when in the original, she mentions that water flows into Purity Lake through the river.
* The scene in which Mewtwo talks with Pikachutwo and Meowthtwo about their next actions has some differences:
** Mewtwo's attitude is changed from normal to rude and dismissive.
** Pikachutwo originally compares their Mt. Quena hideout to being locked up in a jail cell, something not expressed in the dub.
* [[Domino]] and [[Cullen Calix]] arrive at the lodge early in the morning in the dub, whereas no timeframe was stated in the original.
** Luna's specification that researching native Pokémon is her full-time job and manning the bus stop is part-time are dub-only.
* The dated slang used by Domino when formally introducing herself to Luna was dub-only.
* In the Japanese version, Cullen specifies that he wants to study Purity Lake to verify if it was responsible for the river's famous purity, something not directly stated in the dub.
* When escaping, Jessie makes a reference to the Frank Sinatra song "{{wp|Fly Me to the Moon}}," something not very apparent in the dub.
* Giovanni mentions that Mewtwo's companions are "unnatural" in the dub. He originally is not surprised by their presence and mentions that even Mewtwo would desire companionship.
* The dub removes the modified [[Team Rocket]] {{motto}} Domino says in her introduction.
* Domino originally mentions that she is an A-Class Numbers member of Team Rocket, while the dub replaces this with her codenames 009 and Black Tulip.
** Only in the dub does Domino confirm that she works for the Pokémon Institute.
* Jessie originally asks why their hot air balloon has no safety devices at all, when in the dub she considers an alternate mode of transportation.
* Mewtwo's reason for scolding Pikachutwo is changed from having an unnecessary battle with {{AP|Pikachu}} to starting a fight in the first place. In addition, when Mewtwo states that the clones and originals are both living things, the dub adds a reference to the events of the first movie.
* In the original, Mewtwo hoped that the Team Rocket trio would just forget about the clones, but their crashing into Mt. Quena made that impossible, something the dub does not directly indicate.
* Pikachutwo's questioning of its role and existence is more of a rant in the dub.
** In addition, Jessie and James's reasons for sympathizing with the clones were completely different between the versions. In the Japanese, they sympathized with wanting to go out into the world and be free. In the dub, Jessie only seems to sympathize with being a misfit, with James agreeing in a variation of their motto.
* In Pikachutwo's warning to evacuate before Team Rocket arrives, it adds that the experiments they planned to do on them involved cloning, which the Japanese version does not specify.
** Pikachutwo also says that this is their chance to strike, something implied but not directly stated in the dub.
** Mewtwo's comment about evacuating and finding another hideout omits the reference to the humans as their parents.

* Cullen deduces that Purity Lake is the source for Purity River in the dub when he originally states that he found Purity Lake.
* Luna's warning that disrupting the balance of the water would affect the Pokémon's sensibility and personalities in addition to their health was cut in the dub.
* Meowthtwo originally expresses interest in the moon before Meowth warns him to forget it and flee before the Poké Balls capture them, but this was not directly indicated in the dub.
* Mewtwo grunting when using attacks was cut from the dub.
* In the dub, Giovanni mentions having put a "considerable investment" on the machines used to contain Mewtwo. In the original line, he merely tells Mewtwo that the power of humans is nothing to look down upon.
* The exchange of words between Mewtwo and Giovanni in the next scene was notably changed in the dub. Mewtwo says that Giovanni will not be able to defeat it and Giovanni replies that Mewtwo's Psychic powers cannot influence machines. Mewtwo originally asks if Giovanni thinks heartless machines will be able to defeat it and Giovanni replies that the machines are designed to capture Mewtwo, not defeat it.
* Prior to locking them up, Domino originally gave a thinly veiled threat that she and her men would kill Ash, Misty, Brock, Luna, and Cullen for seeing too much if they dare try to resist their captivity. This was toned down in the dub.
* The scene with Team Rocket in the jail cell is completely different between the two versions: Originally, Jessie and James note they have yet to say their catchphrase when blasting off, so they decide to use it while waiting for Meowth's return. In the dub, they decide to rehearse a new motto in the event of Meowth's desertion, only to use a variation of their blast-off catchphrase.
** The shot of when Jessie and James say "Looks like Team Rocket's never blasting off again!" and the camera zooms out to view Mount Quena was shortened by six seconds in the dub.
* Domino's report has her mentioning Ash's name to Giovanni in the Japanese version, something omitted in the dub.
* Giovanni mentions that depending on Mewtwo's next move, the cloned Pokémon will either live or die in the Japanese version, while the dub has him demanding to know whether Mewtwo intends to let its clone Pokémon battle him alone.
* Instead of Meowth asking to keep his aid to the clones a secret from Giovanni, in the dub he decides to follow Mewtwo's example of selflessness in aiding the clones.
* Mewtwo's and Giovanni's references to death (opting to die over serving Giovanni and threatening to subject the clones to deadly experiments, respectively) were toned down to a softer "leave this world."
* Mewtwo specifies in the Japanese version that Giovanni's after it, not the other clones when deciding to submit, something not made clear in the dub.
* In the dub, Giovanni intends to turn the island into a new laboratory, whereas he talks about a secret base in the original.
* Giovanni claims that he will pursue world domination with Mewtwo leading his army of cloned super-Pokémon in the dub, while he originally says Mewtwo will look forward to the day his army is complete.
* When Giovanni and Domino talk about Mewtwo's weakened state, Domino originally says that Mewtwo's death would be the loss of everything they have worked so hard for. Likely to avoid a reference to death in the dub, Domino says that it would take years to clone Mewtwo again.
* When angry {{t|Bug}} Pokémon start attacking Team Rocket and [[Giovanni's Persian]] grows restless, Giovanni shushes it in the dub, whereas he asks it what is wrong originally.
* When Domino launches several tulips at the Bug Pokémon in the original version, she calls out what can be translated as "Shoot blindly!" or "Disorderly shot!", as if it was the name of an attack like a Pokémon would use. In the dub, there was no dialogue in this scene.
* In the original version, James mentions that Giovanni catching him and Jessie dawdling would look very bad, while in the dub, James says that Giovanni will ask for their expense report as a drastic measure.
* In the dub, Giovanni yells "No!" when Ash moves Mewtwo, but he originally orders his men to go after them.
* In the original, Giovanni says that they must kill all the cloned Pokémon when they prevent him and his men from pursuing Ash and Pikachu. In the dub, he only says that he will "crush them".
* The dub omits Ash's explanation that Mewtwo needs to be completely submerged into Purity Lake if it is to heal since a sip of water might not be enough.
* Mewtwo's soliloquy when being submerged was originally reiterating its questions about itself, and then deciding that it was a living being that deserves to live in this world as much as anyone else.
* After Mewtwo moves the lake into hiding in the dub, Ash says that he wants to tell {{an|Professor Oak}} about this. Originally, Ash awes how amazing Mewtwo's powers are.
* Mewtwo realizing it should not eliminate the shame of the past and protect it from those who do want to silence it was dub-only. Originally, it only said that the clone Pokémon have every right to live in the natural world and they should pursue their own journey.
* When leaving, Meowth originally said the moon was full and the weather was perfect for flying, while in the dub, he tells the clones to say "hello" if they ever fly by their balloon.
* Ash implies that Mewtwo told him about what happened in their prior meeting in the dub, but he only says he would like to meet it again in the original.
* Mewtwo does not mention going from time and space to Ash if it ever hears him in the original, instead mentioning that Ash should turn around if he mentions its name.
* Cullen originally said he was staying behind to continue his research, instead of whether he and Luna had anything in common besides research like in the dub.
* When Ash hears Mewtwo's voice in the big city, it says "I will remember you, always" in the dub, when it originally says "I am here," a reference to the special's Japanese title.
* The [[narrator]]'s closing line says nothing about moonlight in the Japanese version, instead wondering if the rumors of a mysterious Pokémon in living a city somewhere are true or not.

[[File:KrazyShipping.png|250px|thumb|Meowth and Pikachu dancing, in the [[Polka O Dolka]] ending theme]]
'''KrazyShipping''', the belief in romantic love between {{MTR}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, was named for ''Krazy Kat'', a comic strip from the early 20th century about a cat who was in love with a mouse, while the mouse hated the cat.

KrazyShipping is one of the more popular pairings involving actual [[Pokémon]]. Though Meowth, along with [[Jessie]] and [[James]], is actively trying to capture Pikachu for {{an|Giovanni}}, there have been a few hints that he may harbour secret feelings for Pikachu. For example, in the episode ''[[EP104|Bound for Trouble]]'', Meowth and Pikachu are handcuffed together and lost by themselves. While Pikachu takes many opportunities to harass Meowth, Meowth actually tries to be nice to Pikachu. They end up getting along so well that they share food and Pikachu falls asleep in Meowth's lap. [[Image:PikaMeowthOffer.png|250px|thumb|Pikachu sharing half of the one apple with Meowth in ''[[EP104|Bound for Trouble]]'']]

In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', both [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s Pokémon, as well as {{Ash}}'s Pokémon, get separated from their Trainers and must find their way back. Although Meowth tries to harass everyone at first, when he gets tied up, Pikachu unties him. Afterward, Meowth tries to be nice to everyone else.

In ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember]]'', Pikachu gets amnesia and is actually caught by the Rocket trio. Although Meowth does trick Pikachu into thinking it was raised by {{TRT}}, throughout the episode, Meowth admits he feels guilty about tricking Pikachu.

In ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'', when Meowth stands up for Pikachu, Pikachu smiles at Meowth, but falls over when Pikachu realizes he was talking about Team Rocket instead of Ash.

In the Polka O Dolka ending, Meowth and Pikachu are seen double dancing together.

==Alternate Names==
*NyaChuShipping - From the sounds that both Pokémon make.

==Trivia==
* In the games, both Meowth and Pikachu are in the {{egg3|Field}}, and therefore they can breed. However, Ash's Pikachu and Team Rocket's Meowth cannot breed with each other, because they have the same gender.
* Both Pokémon have, at one point, refused to evolve.
* They both have a rivalry with their evolutionary forms: {{p|Persian}} for Meowth and {{p|Raichu}} for Pikachu.
* Until the Eastern Unova arc, they were the only non-[[Unova]] based Pokémon in the ''Best Wishes'' anime series.

====AlfShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|{{Ash}}|[[Max]]|jap=サトマサ|rom=SatoMasa|

::Max was extremely excited to meet Ash, whom he recognized from watching the [[Silver Conference]] on television.

:*''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start is!]]''
::Max is so upset by Ash leaving that he runs off by himself. When Ash finds him, he reassures him that they will always be friends and promises to battle him someday after he becomes a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. This makes Max happy leading him to accept the separation.

A bit later, Max asks Tracey if he could return the {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{TP|May|Squirtle}} that {{an|Professor Oak}} is giving to starting {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to their {{i|Poké Ball}}s which Tracey lets him do.

Cilan is nearly sucked in as well after being hit by a {{m|Shadow Ball}} that knocks him off of his feet. He would have been sucked in completely but he is saved by James who grabs his arm. Earlier, James's life force had been drained by the Litwick who were accompanying him and his friends. Despite that and his feelings towards {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, James decides to put his own safety aside and use what strength he has left to rescue Cilan. Some might argue, however, that he only rescued him as a return favor for Ash saving Jessie from the same fate. Others note that James chose to help who he may consider an enemy but did not attempt to try and save his friends before hand.

'''Alternate names'''
:*GundamShipping

====AgainstShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|[[Paul]]|[[Zoey]]|jap=シンノゾ|rom=ShinNozo|

'''Evidence'''
:*Normally, Zoey is rather composed when faced with someone who puts down her friends, but with Paul she became more flustered than she usually would. {{an|Dawn}} is seen having to physically restrain her. Many would say that this would disprove the ship, but fans see it as Zoey becoming more emotional about what Paul thinks as compared to other people.

'''Similarities'''
:*Both were the main rivals of the main protagonists during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''.
:*Both own a {{p|Gastrodon}}.
:*Both share their hometown with a [[Gym Leader]]. Paul is from [[Veilstone City]] where [[Maylene]] leads the [[Veilstone Gym]], and Zoey is from [[Snowpoint City]] where [[Candice]] leads the [[Snowpoint Gym]]

:*''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]''

:* Both battled more than one of the [[Gym leader]]s at the [[Striaton Gym]]. In addition, they both used their Oshawott to battle {{an|Cilan}}.

{{shipping|color=light|[[Stephan]]|{{an|Iris}}|jap=ケニアイ|rom=KeniAi|

'''Evidence'''
:*''[[BW041|The Club Battle Hearts of Fury: Emolga Versus Sawk!]]''
::After Iris defeats Stephan in the second round, he asks her to do her best in the semi-finals for him.
::When Stephan asks Iris "Hey, does your Emolga know any Flying Type moves?" Iris gives an uneasy reaction and Stephan becomes overconfident stating there was no way Iris could beat him.
::When Stephan becomes overexcited for his battle with Iris and jumps out onto the battle field Iris runs after him shouting, "WAIT WE HAVEN'T BEEN CALLED YET! IT'S TOO EARLY!"

'''Similarities'''
:*Both have won a [[Battle Club]]-related tournament; Iris won the [[Club Battle]] while Stephan won the [[Clubsplosion]]. Also, they placed top 8 in each others winning tournament.
*Both of them seemed to get annoyed with Ash a lot during the series; Iris for Ash's immaturity, and Stephan for Ash always pronouncing his name wrong, and although everyone either pronounced his name wrong or called him a completely different name, he seemed the most annoyed when it happened with Ash.

{{shipping|color=light|[[Norman]]|[[Nurse Joy]]|jap=センジョイ|rom=SenJoi|'''Information'''
:During the events of ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style!]]'', [[Caroline]] believed Norman was having an affair with [[Petalburg City]]'s resident [[Nurse Joy]], around the time of Caroline and Norman's anniversary. It turned out to be a big misunderstanding in the end.

'''Hints'''
:*Norman spent a lot of time with Nurse Joy, as she was helping him put together a surprise for his wife. However, the secretive nature that they went about gave Caroline the wrong impression in the first place, believing they were, in fact, having illicit relations. The fact she suspected it validated this pairing's possibility.

'''Name origins'''
:*''Fireworks'' is derived from the very display Norman and Nurse Joy were cooking up for him and Caroline.

'''Trivia'''
:* The validity of this premise was suspected in canon and then later disproved in the same episode.

====GaiaShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|[[Gardenia]]|[[Cheryl]]|jap=NataMomi or MomiNata|rom=ナタモミ or モミナタ|'''Information'''
: This is one of the few ships involving [[Gym Leader]]s that is comprised of minor characters (who aren't {{cat|Gym assistants}}) and isn't a ''nevermetshipping''. Their entire interaction takes place during the episode ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]''.

'''Hints''' 
''Gardenia's''
:* Gardenia expresses genuine interest in Cheryl's "mission" to find the enchanted [[honey]], and offers her services to help without any invite. She also uses the article 'we' instead of 'you', cementing herself to Cheryl's cause, never mind all the helpful advice that give the group a destination to head for. She even admits to wanting to help, using her impulsive request for {{Ash}} to battle her as an example, when Cheryl says she doesn't want to be a bother to Gardenia.
:* Gardenia is still bespelled by [[James]]'s Pokémon when Cheryl mentions her Mothim, temporarily confusing her into assuming James had one too. She reacts to the confusion the same way she does Grass-types (infatuation), despite {{p|Mothim}} being {{2t|Bug|Flying}}.
:* She also admits to being happy to help ''treasure hunters'', after rescuing Mothim, making it sound like those are the kind of people she likes compared to many other types of people.

''Cheryl's''
:* Upon meeting Gardenia and Ash challenging her to a {{pkmn|battle}}, Cheryl is nonplussed by the idea when {{an|Dawn}} reminds Ash they were already on a task: to help Cheryl. In fact, Cheryl even says it "might be fun" and wishes them to have a nice time.
:* Cheryl spends her shot during Ash's introduction to Gardenia looking in Gardenia's direction. There's also no reason for her to be standing there, as she says nothing (Brock and Dawn weren't in the shot, and the situation wasn't anything special). She also only comments on [[Gardenia's Turtwig]] during the battle, and spends the rest of her time on the sidelines appearing engrossed in the action, saying nothing of Ash at all.
::*She falls back on a quote her grandfather said later that evening in regards to Gardenia volunteering to help her out: "Witness a good Pokémon battle and something good always happens." She is likely implying that the "something good" that occurred is likely Gardenia herself joining them.
:* After the battle, Cheryl personally introduces herself and tells Gardenia she was impressed with her battling, while only telling Ash she was sorry he lost.
:* {{TP|Cheryl|Mothim}} takes an instant liking to Gardenia after a compliment, perhaps reflecting Cheryl's own feelings, as she doesn't sound overly worried or chiding when she tells him not to get "too close to strangers." Given Cheryl's docile personality, it might indicate she's already comfortable with Gardenia and not simply being flighty.
:* She voices self-doubt and concern of being a "bother" when Gardenia volunteers to show the group the way to the {{p|Combee}} wall; this is something she didn't do when Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}} volunteer to help her with her {{TP|Cheryl|Burmy}}, another just-as-daunting task, or when they joined her quest to find the Amber Castle themselves the [[DP030|the episode before]].
:* Cheryl expresses gratitude for Gardenia's supposed attempt at personally protecting her Mothim from {{TP|James|Carnivine}}.
:* Cheryl cries out, "Gardenia!" immediately after Mothim is freed from [[Team Rocket]]'s robotic arm, even when Gardenia wasn't the one placed in harm's way. She then personally, much like her introduction, thanks Gardenia for saving Mothim.

'''Name origins'''
:*''Gaia'' is derived from their association with nature and Mother Earth, Gardenia being a {{type|Grass}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and Cheryl with her overall arboreal clothing scheme and gentle personality.

'''Trivia'''
:* Both can also be found in [[Eterna Forest]] during various parts of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} gameplay, and it is where they meet in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

:''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]''
:*Gardenia spends a lot of time fawning over {{TP|James|Carnivine}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. She never spent anytime fawning over [[Ash's Turtwig]]. She also doesn't believe James is evil, claiming Grass-type Trainers cannot be evil.

''James's'' 
:''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]''
:*He battles alongside her. When she offers to train Cacnea, he's a lot nicer to her. He agrees to let her train Cacnea, despite his devoted attachment, and trusts her to train it well.

:When they met, Ritchie and Misty actually get along well and they both like and respect each other. Since Ritchie is often seen as a clone of {{Ash}}, some people see this couple as another kind of {{s|Poké}}, with less arguing.

'''Hints''' 
:''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''
:*When [[Team Rocket]] calls on Ash's hotel phone, disguised with Ritchie's voice, Misty answers. [[Jessie]] insults her calling her a "big mouth". Misty, who thought it was Ritchie, becomes really mad. When she hands over the phone to Ash she, notably, calls "Ritchie" ''Prince Charming'' instead of calling him something insulting, although this is probably nothing more than sarcasm. Ash asks who it is, but instead of answering she says angrily, "I ''knew'' that kid was too good to be true!" This could point out that Misty felt something for Ritchie, however it's more likely that she thought he was nice.

::After Cilan reminiscences about {{Ash}} and [[Georgia]]'s battle, he turns to Stephan, staring wide-eyed at him, then asks if he felt the spiciness of the battle. A little bit later Stephan becomes very interested with the food that Cilan makes for [[Ash's Snivy]] and asks if he could make food for his Pokémon too. Cilan happily agrees to it.

:*''[[BW042|Battle Club Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]''
::Stephan named himself the judge of Cilan and Burgundy's {{pkmn|Connoisseur}} battle. Before there battle even began, Stephan gave Cilan the win for the pre-game battle because he gave some wise words of wisdom. Later on his is greatly impressed by Cilan's evaluation of Ash and Iris's battle, not even bothering to judge Burgundy's skills, and said that it was no wonder that he was named an A-class Connoisseur by the Connoisseur's Association.

:*''[[BW072|A Clubsplosion of Excitement!]]''

:: Bianca instantly took a liking to [[Luke's Zorua]] and later admired Luke for having her. Throughout the entire [[Club Battle]] she'd often kept close proximity with Luke. Luke also comments about Bianca's energy saying that she must take a lot of vitamins.
:* ''[[BW042|The Club Battle Finale: A Heroes Outcome!]]''
:: Luke trusts Bianca to film his battle with {{an|Iris}} despite letting {{Ash}} handle filming his battle with {{an|Cilan}} earlier, for him and when he finds out she missed the battle, filming Zorua instead, he shrugs it off pretty quickly.

::The next day, Luke wished to get closer to the action as his position in the stands did not capture the action. He wanted a much lower angle to make the battle appear more dramatic. Bianca then suggests that Luke go onto the battlefield and film but he says that they are not allowed to go down there. She starts taunting him afterwards saying that he wouldn't become a great film director if he wouldn't take the chance. Wanting to prove that he could take the chance, he ventures on to the battlefield with Bianca happily following from behind. She even holds the boom microphone for him while filming.

:*''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]''
::After knocking tripping and knocking {{Ash}} into a body of water as she usually does, Bianca collapses on to Stephan and keeps her face planted against his chest for a few moments. Later on after Stephan passes to the second round of the [[Clubsplosion]] tournament, Bianca becomes enamored with his {{TP|Stephan|Sawk}} then asks if she could poke his muscles.

::Axew and Scraggy are shown to have a strong and friendly relationship in this episode. After their sparring match they are seen playing and splashing each other with water. Later when a {{p|Gothita}} takes a liking to Scraggy, Axew becomes almost jealous of it. He then becomes upset when [[Katharine|Gothita's Trainer]] says that if she defeats Ash in battle that she will take Scraggy for herself. So much so that he has a nightmare about it later in the night. Once again, he's one of the first to notice Scraggy's absent but this time goes off by himself to try and stop Gothita.

:*''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]''
::Axew was pained to see Scraggy being mercilessly kicked by [[Angus]]'s {{p|Simisage}} during the [[Clubsplosion]] tournament to the point where he had to put his hands over his eyes. However, he was very proud that Scraggy learned {{m|Focus Blast}} shortly after.

:*''[[BW074|Battling the Leaf Thieves!]]''
::Scraggy was the first to notice that Axew was missing after it was taken by a couple of {{p|Durant}}. Aside from Iris, he was clearly the most upset about Axew being missing. After they had found Axew, Scraggy gave him a light scolding for worrying him so much.

:*''[[BW131|The Path that Leads to Goodbye]]''
::Scraggy wondered where Axew was (and possibly Iris), and he became sad when Ash explained that Iris and Axew would be traveling on their own.
::At night, Scraggy (and the rest of Ash's Pokémon) were looking out into the rain worried, and when Cilan told Ash they were all worried about Iris and Axew, Scraggy (and Pikachu) looked at Ash and nodded sadly.
::Scraggy woke up the next morning before anyone else did and he set out to find Iris and Axew.

'''Similarities'''
:*Both have had a member of the {{p|Gothita}} family taken likings to them. [[Katharine]]'s Gothita liked Scraggy and [[Lewis]]'s {{p|Gothorita}} liked Axew.
:*Both are part of the [[Dragon (Egg Group)|Dragon Egg Group]], but they cannot breed since they have the same gender.
:*Both learned a new move while participating in one of the [[Battle Club]]'s tournaments. Axew learned ''{{m|Outrage}}'' during the Club Battle, and Scraggy learned ''{{m|Focus Blast}}'' during the Clubsplosion.
:*Both Axew and Scraggy had difficulty trying to master a Move, but were eventually successful. Axew had trouble trying to master ''{{m|Dragon Rage}}'' which he finally achieved in ''[[BW030|The Dragon Master's Path]]'' and Scraggy had trouble trying to master his newly learned Focus Blast which he successfully achieved in ''[[BW095|Unrest at the Nursery]]''.

'''Name origins'''
:*''Kyoudai'' is derived from 兄弟 (siblings), referring to their kin-like relationship.

'''Oshawott's hints'''
:*''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]''
::Oshawott is immediately smitten with Emolga upon first seeing her. Also, Oshawott interrupts her battle with [[Bianca's Minccino]] by jumping in front of the {{m|Attract}} meant for the other Pokémon.

::Later on when Emolga is surrounded by a group of wild {{p|Swoobat}}, Oshawott lets himself out of his Poké Ball in order to protect her. He was hit by a Swoobat's {{m|Charge Beam}} forcing Ash to recall him to his Poké Ball.

:*''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]''
::When Emolga wanders off on her own while the others are sleeping, Oshawott and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} follow after her. When they find her she lies to them in order to get some apples by telling them that she was ambushed by a group of wild {{p|Watchog}}. Angered, Oshawott fights valiantly in order to protect her and retrieves an apple for himself, Emolga, and Axew. Oshawott continues to protect Emolga even standing up to an enraged {{p|Simisear}}. However, he was easily defeated by the angry Pokémon.

:*''[[BW062|Crisis at Chargestone Cave!]]''
:: At the Pokémon center, Oshawott continued to flirt with Emolga, much to her dicomfort.

'''Emolga's hints'''
:*''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]''
::When Emolga discovered Oshawott fawning over {{an|Meloetta}}, her reaction seemed uneasy and she looked at him with confusion, although the reason could've been due to the fact she was away getting an Oran Berry for Meloetta, and therefore, didn't realize what was going on. When flying down to them, she crashed into Oshawott and the two squabbled very imaturly.
:: After Meloetta felt better she sang a song that calmed down the fight, and Emolga looked at Oshawott and smiled.

'''Trivia'''
:*Oshawott and Emolga are both part of the {{egg3|Field}}, they have different genders and therefore can breed.

'''Name origins'''
:*''LethalAttraction'' comes from the fact that Oshawott usually ends up getting hurt while trying to protect Emolga. It also could be from the fact that {{type|Water}}s are weak against {{t|Electric}} attacks.

{{shipping|color=light|[[Ash's Pikachu]]|[[Dawn's Piplup]]|jap=ピカポッチャ|rom=PikaPocha|

'''Evidence'''
:*''[[DP149|Sticking with Who You Know!]]''
::Pikachu and Piplup spent nearly the whole episode hugging each other with hearts in their eyes. Even when {{an|Dawn}} returns Piplup to his Poké Ball, he lets himself out and goes back to hugging Pikachu. Of course, this was all a result of [[Professor Kodama]]'s affinity machine which made pure {{t|Electric}} and {{type|Water}}s inseparable.

:*''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''
::Piplup becomes emotional knowing that the group is going to go their separate ways. He was hoping that Dawn would go with Ash and {{an|Brock}} to [[Kanto]] so that he could stay with Pikachu. When she decides she's going to stay in [[Sinnoh]], Piplup runs off into the forest alone. Fans also note that even though Pikachu is {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}'s object of affection, she did not appear upset at all over the news of Pikachu leaving unlike Piplup. Pikachu becomes concerned and runs off too to look for him. When he finds Piplup, he latches on to him and starts crying. This causes Pikachu to also start crying.

::Later on when they accept that they are going to separate, Pikachu and Piplup high five each other before hugging again.

'''Similarities'''
:*Both were unwilling to obey their Trainers at first, but became friends after saving them from a group of attacking Pokémon. Pikachu saved {{Ash}} from a flock of {{p|Spearow}}, while Piplup saved {{an|Dawn}} from a swarm of {{p|Ariados}}.
:*Both are actively kept [[Walking Pokémon|outside]] of their Poké Balls.
:*Both have expressed reluctance to [[evolution|evolve]] and prefer to remain in their current forms.
:**Both have battled against their evolved forms.
:***The reason both chose not to evolve is because they want to be able to prove themselves as powerful to their Trainers,

'''Name origins'''
:*''LightningPearl'' comes from Pikachu being an {{type|Electric}} and {{ga|Dawn|Pearl}}, under the basis that Pearl is relative to Dawn as a name and symbol. Also may be related to {{s|Pearl}}.

:*''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss]]''
::When Piplup was devastated about Ash and Pikachu having to leave, Togekiss comforted him (and Pikachu) as they cried.

==Blurb==

Continuing their Galar region trip, Ash and Goh are perplexed when their food disappears in front of their eyes! It’s the work of a timid Pokémon named Sobble, who becomes invisible whenever it touches water. And when it cries, everyone cries! Goh catches it, but when he sends it into battle, Sobble becomes overwhelmed and runs away. It gets captured by Team Rocket, who can’t resist crying along with it. Luckily, Goh thinks of a way to block the effects of Sobble’s tears, so he and Ash send Team Rocket blasting off again! Goh apologizes to Sobble, and the little Pokémon is once again overwhelmed—this time with joy!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and [[Goh]] are at the [[Wyndon]] [[Pokémon Center]], enjoying various kinds of local [[curry]] with their Pokémon. As they eat, they are approached by the {{p|Sobble}} from the end of the [[JN027|previous episode]], which turns invisible and starts eating their food. When it finally turns visible again and finds itself surrounded, it starts to cry. To their surprise, Ash, Goh, and their Pokémon also start to cry, despite none of them feeling sad. Sobble uses this distraction to disappear again, although Ash and Goh are determined to follow it.

As Ash and Goh try to find Sobble, [[Nurse Joy]] arrives and informs them of the Pokémon's identity upon hearing their descriptions of it. She mentions that Sobble can turn invisible upon coming into contact with water, so it could even be hiding in the fountain behind them. Goh starts talking to the fountain, telling Sobble that he likes its ability and asks if it wants to come with him. Unaware that Sobble really is hiding in the fountain and had overheard him, Goh takes the lack of response as a sign that Sobble isn't there. In a moment of frustration, he throws a {{i|Poké Ball}} at the fountain, and, to his and Ash's big surprise, it actually {{pkmn2|caught|catches}} {{TP|Goh|Sobble}}.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is floating overhead in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]], which had been blown all the way to the [[Galar]] [[region]] in the middle of an unsuccessful attempt to sneak up to Ash and snatch {{AP|Pikachu}} with a net. To the trio's surprise, they notice Ash and Goh down below, and they try to sneak up on them again as the two are focused on Sobble's [[Pokédex]] entry, but the balloon is once again blown away by a gust of wind.

While Ash and Goh discuss about Sobble, [[Ash's Riolu]] accidentally digs up a {{p|Silicobra}}, which gets their attention. Goh attempts to catch it, but as a Poké Ball throw fails, he decides to battle it instead, sending his newly caught Sobble against the {{t|Ground}} type. As Sobble is intimidated by Silicobra, its own sweat turns it invisible, and Goh uses this to his advantage by having Sobble attack Silicobra with {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Pound}}. However, Silicobra then spews out some sand, revealing Sobble. When Silicobra attacks Sobble, it starts to cry, causing everyone else nearby to cry too. Goh's [[Rotom Phone]] informs him that Sobble's tears pack the chemical punch of 100 onions. As Sobble cries, Silicobra escapes, and the sand on Sobble is washed off as it runs away, with Goh being unable to [[recall]] it before it disappears completely.

Ash and Goh follow Sobble based on the trail of crying people, and split up to cover more ground. Goh eventually finds Sobble at a riverside. He tries to apologize for making it scared, but Sobble just cries some more before diving into the river and escaping again. As Goh tries to think of a way to counter the effect of Sobble's tear, he remembers something regarding [[Mimey|Mr. Mime]] and gets an idea. When Ash shows up, Goh informs him of Sobble being headed downstream, so they start following it there.

Further along the riverside, Team Rocket's balloon is revealed to have crashed down near a bridge. They suddenly notice a Pokémon eating their food, and their Rotom Phone informs them that it's called {{an|Morpeko}}. As Morpeko finishes eating their rations, [[Jessie]] tries to throw a tin can at it, but misses and instead hits Sobble, who turns visible again as Morpeko runs away. Upon learning Sobble's name and hearing Ash and Goh calling for it, the trio concocts a scheme to get Pikachu.

Goh blames himself for Sobble running away, but Ash reassures him that he can't expect things to always go the right way the first time. Once the two reach the bridge, Team Rocket reveals themselves and shows Sobble in a cage, demanding Pikachu in exchange. Ash and Goh naturally refuse, so, after recovering from a flood of tears caused by Sobble, Team Rocket calls for the [[Rocket Prize Master]], which grants them a {{p|Magnezone}} and an {{p|Armaldo}}. Ash and Goh prepare for battle, but Armaldo disrupts their offensive with {{m|Metal Claw}}, before Magnezone stuns everyone with {{m|Supersonic}}.

Team Rocket mocks Ash and Goh for trying to rescue such a weak crybaby, but Goh protests that Sobble is not weak, displaying his determination to rescue it. Seeing this, Sobble remembers what Goh had told it earlier at the fountain, and becomes determined enough to bend the bars of the cage and escape. Jessie and James, upon noticing this, berate each other on buying a cheap cage, and have Armaldo step on Sobble's tail to stop it from getting away. Sobble starts crying as usual, and although Team Rocket initially thinks their Pokémon are unaffected by its tears, it turns out they were merely observing their fake eyes, and they're both crying from their real eyes. Ash, Goh, and their Pokémon, however, are using goggles to protect their eyes from the tears. Goh explains that he got the idea from remembering how Mr. Mime had once used goggles to protect its eyes while cutting an onion. While Team Rocket's Pokémon are immobilized by crying, the duo's Pokémon launch a combination attack that sends Team Rocket blasting off. With the villains dealt with, Goh approaches Sobble and apologizes for sending it out to battle without asking first. He then reveals that Sobble has also taught him something new: being always alert allows one to always protect themselves and their friends if need be, meaning that its timidness is not a weakness, but a strength. Sobble almost starts crying tears of happiness, and Goh quickly tells it to not do it.

Later, while Team Rocket contemplates their lack of success, they're approached by the same Morpeko from before. {{MTR}} translates that it wants more food from them, but as they don't have any and just tell it to scram, it suddenly {{a|Hunger Switch|changes}} into its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Morpeko|Hangry Mode}} and uses {{m|Aura Wheel}} to send them blasting off once more.

==Blurb==

With tickets to see Leon battle Galar’s Dragon-type Gym Leader Raihan in the World Coronation Series, our heroes couldn’t be more excited! Both competitors are strong, but the undefeated Leon wins again!

Then, after hearing about a young hero who once saved Galar from the effects of a devastating storm, Ash and Goh come across a Galarian Farfetch’d. Although it’s similar to Goh’s Farfetch’d from Kanto, this regional form carries a huge leek that it uses in battle. The Galarian Farfetch’d has been challenging any Trainer who crosses its path—and after battling it and being impressed by its tenacity, Ash welcomes it as the newest member of his team!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and [[Goh]]'s {{pkmn|training}} with {{AP|Riolu}} and {{TP|Goh|Farfetch'd}}, respectively, is cut off by [[Professor Cerise]] appearing and handing them tickets to a [[World Coronation Series]] Master Class {{pkmn|battle}} in [[Galar]], with [[Leon]] himself taking part in the match. Excited to see Leon battle, the two immediately head off to Galar. When they arrive at [[Wyndon]], Ash and Goh rush towards the [[Wyndon Stadium]], almost being late for the battle due to them stopping for food. Once they reach the stands, they let Riolu and Farfetch'd out of their {{i|Poké Ball}}s to watch the match. The announcer explains the World Coronation Series has over 10,000 participants, but only the Top 8 can stand in the Master Class and be referred to as the Masters Eight. The first {{pkmn|Trainer}} to enter the battlefield is [[Raihan]], a Galarian {{type|Dragon}} [[Gym Leader]] who is currently ranked seventh in the tournament, having climbed his way up into the Master Class as soon as he joined the event. His opponent is Leon, the undefeated {{pkmn|Champion}} of Galar and the current Monarch. As the [[Gym guide|referee]] explains that the battle will be one-on-one, Raihan tells Leon that he joined the event to end his winning streak. Leon is undeterred as the two Trainers take their places and send out their Pokémon. Leon sends out his ace {{p|Charizard}}, while Raihan chooses {{p|Duraludon}}.

At the referee's signal, the match begins, with Duraludon making the opening move with {{m|Metal Claw}}. The attack connects, with Duraludon moving surprisingly fast despite its metal-covered body. Charizard responds by using its own claw [[move]], {{m|Dragon Claw}}. Ash and Goh noticed that Leon has changed up his Charizard's moves since last time. Duraludon uses {{m|Iron Defense}}, blocking the move with its impressive defensive capabilities. Duraludon attacks with another Metal Claw, but Charizard uses {{m|Dig}} before the attack can connect, dealing notable [[damage]] on Duraludon while avoiding its attack. Charizard continues the assault with {{m|Brick Break}}, but Duraludon counterattacks with {{m|Stone Edge}}. Raihan's attack makes contact, dealing {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super effective}} damage on Charizard. Raihan decides to finish the match and calls for the ultimate {{type|Steel}} attack; {{m|Steel Beam}}. As the move charges, Ash and Goh check its info on Goh's [[Rotom Phone]], learning that Steel Beam sacrifices the user's stamina for immense destructive force. The attack fires and overpowers Charizard's {{m|Flamethrower}}, slamming it down to the ground. However, despite all the damage it has taken, Charizard still stands up.

Raihan responds to Charizard's resilience by [[recall]]ing Duraludon and [[Gigantamax]]ing it, with Leon also Gigantamaxing Charizard in response. Duraludon uses {{m|Max Rockfall}}, which Charizard counters with {{m|Max Knuckle}}, both countering the attack and dealing damage of Duraludon. Raihan next issues a {{m|Max Steelspike}}, but before the attack can make contact, Charizard uses its signature [[G-Max Move]], {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}, slicing through the spikes before hitting Duraludon. The move's secondary effect damage is too much for the weakened Duraludon to handle, at it falls down, defeated, meaning that Leon's winning streak still remains unbroken. Raihan thinks to himself that he needs to polish his skills at [[Hammerlocke Stadium|his Gym]] before rechallenging Leon. As the two shake hands, Raihan tells Leon that he's still going to break his winning streak someday. Ash suddenly cuts in on this, yelling down from the stand that he intends to be the one to defeat Leon, much to Goh's embarrassment. Leon recognizes Ash and waves at him, but then starts waving in another direction, with the announcer acknowledging [[Rose|Chairman Rose]]'s presence.

At the entrance hall, Ash and Goh observe the statue from before. As they wonder if it depicts Leon, a young woman nearby catches their attention. She tells the two that the statue actually depicts a legendary hero from Galar's past, and starts detailing the legend to them. A long time ago, [[Darkest Day|a great black storm]] covered the [[region]], and giant Pokémon ran rampant, but the chaos was eventually stopped by a single young hero wielding a sword and a shield. The young woman admits that many details of the legend remain unclear, like who the young hero was, where did the sword and shield go, and what relation the event has to [[Dynamax]]. She remarks that she's doing this research as homework for [[Professor Magnolia|her grandmother]], who's a [[Pokémon Professor]], being her [[Professors' aides|assistant]]. Ash and Goh introduce themselves, and the young woman introduces herself as [[Sonia]].

Later, while Ash and Goh are thinking about the legend, a Trainer carrying a [[fainting|fainted]] {{p|Chewtle}} asks them for directions for the local [[Pokémon Center]], telling them that he was defeated by a strong Pokémon at a nearby bridge. The two decide to investigate and go to the bridge, where they encounter a Farfetch'd carrying a huge leek. Goh's Rotom Phone informs them that this is Farfetch'd's [[regional form]]. Goh throws a Poké Ball at it to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it, but it simply slaps the Ball away. As such, Goh sends out his Kantonian Farfetch'd to battle it and issues a {{m|Night Slash}}. The Galarian Farfetch'd responds with the same move and easily defeats Goh's Farfetch'd.

Farfetch'd seems eager for more battling, but before Ash can send in {{AP|Pikachu}}, Riolu emerges from its Poké Ball on its own to battle. As such, Ash decides to put Riolu's earlier training to the test. Riolu opens with {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, but Farfetch'd blocks it with its leek, before winding up for another Night Slash. While it's winding up, Riolu hits it with a {{m|Force Palm}}, but despite the hit, Farfetch'd charges in. Ash counters with another move Riolu picked up during training, {{m|Double Team}}, causing the Night Slash to miss its mark. Riolu then bombards Farfetch'd with a flurry of Vacuum Waves, but after a moment, it sweeps them all aside with yet another Night Slash. Riolu uses Double Team again, but Farfetch'd uses {{m|Brutal Swing}}, dispelling all the copies and hitting the real Riolu. Despite the powerful hit, Ash knows that Riolu still has strength left, and issues a {{m|Reversal}}. The move hits Farfetch'd hard, but it's still not down. To Goh and Riolu's bafflement, Ash suddenly starts encouraging Farfetch'd to go on as well. Farfetch'd stands up, ready to go on, but as Ash and Riolu prepare to continue, they see Farfetch'd's leek slumping down, showing that it has fainted while still standing.

Ash and Goh bring all of their exhausted Pokémon and the Galarian Farfetch'd to the Pokémon Center, where [[Nurse Joy]] and her two {{p|Indeedee}} treat them all back to full health. Afterwards, outside the Pokémon Center, the Galarian Farfetch'd displays its eagerness to still battle more. Seeing this, Ash asks it if it wants to join his [[party|team]], so that it could get stronger with his other Pokémon. After a moment of consideration, Farfetch'd accepts the offer, and Ash throws a Poké Ball at it, making his first capture in the Galar region. As soon as he lets Farfetch'd out of its Poké Ball, it immediately starts training with Riolu. As Goh joins in, a camouflaged {{TP|Goh|Sobble}} appears behind him, momentarily observing the action, before being scared away by the loud noises of the training.

* In the scene that {{p|Chewtle}}'s {{pkmn|Trainer}} talks to Ash and Goh, there is a fountain similar to the one seen in the [[Pokémon Direct]] that announced [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] and revealed the [[Galar]] starters. It also appears in the [[JN028|next episode]].
* Goh, Ash, [[James]], [[Jessie]], and {{AP|Pikachu}} narrate the preview for the next episode.

===Errors===
* In the English [[dub]], while Ash battles the {{rf|Galarian}} {{AP|Farfetch'd}}, he mistakenly says it was using {{m|Night Shade}}, instead of {{m|Night Slash}}.

'''Polka O Dolka''' (Japanese: '''ポルカ・オ・ドルカ''' lit. ''Poruka O Doruka'') is the second Japanese ending theme of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. It debuted in [[AG019]], replacing [[Because the Sky is There]], and ended in [[AG044]], changing back to the previous song.

The song was heavily featured in the [[Pikachu short]] ''[[PK12|Gotta Dance!!]]'', and was also translated and dubbed in the English [[dub]] of the short. The dub lyrics were written by [[Carter Cathcart]].

==Ending animation==
===Synopsis===
A song catches the ears of all of {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Brock}}, [[Jessie]], and [[James]]' Pokémon. Ash's Pokémon are eating, May and Brock's Pokémon are sleeping, and Jessie and James's Pokémon are pushing a statue of {{an|Giovanni}} up a hill. {{MTR}} jumps out a few times before all the Pokémon are shown dancing to the song.

Meowth is relaxing in a hot spring when the water becomes too hot and he jumps out. Then he is shown sitting in front of a {{wp|Taj Mahal}}-type building eating curry- he blows fire out his mouth. Then he is sleeping under an {{p|Altaria}} before he polishes the Giovanni statue and falls off.

The group of main Pokémon continue to dance as a {{p|Whismur}} with {{wp|maracas}} and a {{p|Ludicolo}} slide past.

Meowth and {{AP|Pikachu}} dance together, and the flying main Pokémon move through the air.

Finally, everyone dances again as a {{p|Loudred}} slides past.

==Trivia==
* The song's title is a play on words. In Japanese, the phrase ポルカ躍るか？ ''Polka odoru ka?'' means ''Do you dance the polka?''
* The choreography in the video is also featured in ''[[PK12|Gotta Dance!!]]''
* The music is often heard whenever [[James's Mime Jr.]] uses {{m|Teeter Dance}}.
* In the full version, at the beginning of the song the first two lines of [[Meowth's Song]] are played in reverse.

'''Meowth''' (Japanese: '''ニャース''' ''Nyarth'') is a member of [[Team Rocket]], more specifically part of a [[Team Rocket trio|trio]] with [[Jessie]] and [[James]], that follows [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{ashfr}} around in the [[Pokémon anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]]. His major difference from other {{p|Meowth}}, and nearly all other Pokémon, is that he can talk and walk on two legs like a human.

====History====
=====Pre-series=====
[[File:Young Meowth.png|thumb|200px|Meowth as an infant]]
In a flashback in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]'', {{p|Meowth}}'s earliest memory is being alone at [[Camp Pokéhearst]]. With no food, he was always starving and once tipped over a basket of baseballs believing it was food. As punishment for tipping the basket over, the baseball coach hung him from a tree; from this tree, he was able to see a movie called ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|That Darn Meowth!}}'', which depicted a Meowth in [[Hollywood]] being given delicious food by its family. Meowth instantly decided to go to Hollywood, which he believed would be a paradise.

However, when he arrived in Hollywood, he was merely perceived as a stray Pokémon, and was constantly being chased for stealing food. Soon, a Meowth gang, led by a {{p|Persian}}, took him in. Meowth lived on the streets as a member of the gang for a long time; the gang annoyed the humans in town by stealing food and causing trouble, the town's local Butcher Shop Owner in particular. One day, Meowth came across a female Meowth named [[Meowzie]]. She rejected him, saying that he was poor and that she preferred [[human]]s, so Meowth attempted to make himself more human-like to make her love him. Thus, he painstakingly taught himself to speak human language and walk upright like a human. When he approached her after this transformation, she once again rejected him, calling him a freak. Heartbroken, Meowth remembered the first human word he understood—"rocket"—and was inspired to join Team Rocket.

In ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', Meowth stated that he was {{an|Giovanni}}'s "Top Cat" in front of Giovanni with no objection (while noticing that {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} was now in that position). In ''[[HS12|Training Daze]]'', however, he was shown to have been present at [[Team Rocket HQ]] for a short time, during which it is revealed that Persian is already there. During this time, Meowth became a servant to Giovanni, bringing him food and drinks; however, he was unsuccessful at this task because he tripped over a wire, spilled Giovanni's coffee, and got himself shocked. Giovanni didn't appear to be angry, but he assigned Meowth to [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s team.

=====[[Original series]]=====
======Kanto======
[[File:Team Rocket Meowth Earlier Design.png|thumb|200px|Meowth as seen in his debut episode]]
Meowth made his debut in the anime in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''. Alongside Jessie and James, they set their sights on the injured Pokémon in the [[Viridian City]] [[Pokémon Center]]. As the two sent out their {{OBP|Ekans|Team Rocket}} and {{OBP|Koffing|Team Rocket}} from their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]], they quickly overtook the Pokémon Center, which only had [[Nurse Joy]], {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} inside. Before they could steal any of the Pokémon, however, [[Ash's Pikachu]], who teamed up with many other {{p|Pikachu}} in the Pokémon Center, used an electric attack, causing the entire Pokémon Center to explode. It was here that Team Rocket vowed to capture Pikachu, deeming Ash's one as an exceptionally powerful Pokémon, making it their lifelong goal to capture him.

In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', after hearing that Pikachu would fight to defend his own honor and Ash's, the trio were inspired to cheer on Pikachu before his rematch against {{gy|Vermilion}} [[Gym Leader]] [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}}.

In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', Team Rocket was swept away onto [[Pokémon Land]], located on the [[Island of the Giant Pokémon]], after a group of {{p|Gyarados}}, including {{OP|James|Gyarados}} own, triggered a cyclone using {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Meowth, Ekans, and Koffing were separated from Jessie and James in the chaos and landed on another part of the island. When Meowth found Pikachu without Ash, he ordered Koffing and Ekans to attack Pikachu, but they refused since Meowth was not their actual master. The following day, the trio found their way back to Jessie and James.

Jessie used Meowth during the [[Princess Festival|Queen of the Princess Festival contest]] in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]''.

In ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]'', Meowth, Jessie, and James returned to Hollywood while following Ash. While there, Meowth was reunited with Meowzie, who had since been abandoned by her mistress and was forced to join the gang of street Meowth. Meowth fought his former Persian leader to win Meowzie's love, and won, but Meowzie demonstrated that her loyalty was with Persian since he took care of her when she needed it (in addition to calling him a ''walking talking freak Meowth''). Meowth was, once again, left heartbroken.

======Orange Archipelago======
Because of the effort Meowth exerted while learning to speak and walk like a human, he has not learned the [[signature move]] of his species, {{m|Pay Day}}. In ''[[EP096|Meowth Rules!]]'', Meowth was worshiped by an island of people who believed that he could bring them riches with Pay Day. When he was caught in a battle meant to induce Pay Day, Jessie and James had to secretly bail him out by throwing the last of their spare change and some of James's prized bottlecaps in order to appease the islanders.

======Johto======
Several times, Meowth and Pikachu have had to team up, such as in the episodes ''[[EP104|Bound for Trouble]]'' and ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'' when both were separated from their respective parties. His relationship with Jessie and James varies in quality; for example, in ''[[EP070|Go West, Young Meowth]]'' they stated that they regarded Meowth as a friend, but in ''[[EP104|Bound for Trouble]]'', having discovered Meowth and Pikachu after the two had been stuck together, they both stated that they had really been looking for Pikachu and Meowth was just 'part of the package'. Meowth seems to have aspects of each of his teammates in him; in arguments, he can often be seen siding with either Jessie (usually denouncing James' incompetence) or James (usually complaining about Jessie's overdramatic and rash behavior). Despite these fights, the three remain very close and loyal friends, although at one point in Giovanni's Gym in Viridian City, they threatened to split up. However they realized they had over reacted, and became friends again, proving themselves very loyal to each other.

In ''[[EP175|The Trouble with Snubbull]]'', Team Rocket first tried using Meowth as bait for a newly-evolved {{TP|Madame Muchmoney|Granbull}}, which had been persistently following Meowth, so they could collect a reward from the Granbull's owner, [[Madame Muchmoney]]. This failed, and they subsequently used a Meowth-shaped mecha for their next attempt. Through a misunderstanding over Meowth trying to release Granbull from the mecha's tail, Team Rocket were mistakenly assumed to have tricked Madame Muchmoney. When Team Rocket was blasted off following a battle between the mecha and Granbull, Granbull returned home and no longer followed Meowth.

Meowth has also, since late [[Johto]], had frequent [[Boss fantasy|fantasies]] about presenting Giovanni with various Pokémon. These fantasies often involve whatever creature it happens to be assisting Giovanni in his daily routine.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====
{{incomplete|section|needs=role in AG}}
Upon learning of his species' love for gathering coins and shiny objects from Ash's [[Pokédex]] in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'', Jessie criticized him for not doing so.

Jessie, disguised as "The Jester", used Meowth in the {{to|Pacifidlog}} {{pkmn|Contest}} in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''. In the Appeals Round, he created an ice sculpture of {{an|Giovanni}}, [[Giovanni's Persian|his Persian]] and himself. During his [[Contest Battle]] against [[Erica]]'s {{p|Jynx}}, he used "{{m|Transform}}" by using the pouch attached to his belly. He transformed into a {{p|Sunflora}} first, using {{m|Razor Leaf}} against Jynx. Later, he transformed into a {{p|Kirlia}} and again into a {{p|Wailord}}. He popped the inflatable Wailord with his claws and Jessie was eventually disqualified.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''=====
In ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', Giovanni approved the trio's plans to set up a Team Rocket branch in the [[Sinnoh]] region.

In ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'', {{OBP|Christopher|DP117}}, a former Team Rocket member and the owner of the ramen shop, saw Meowth use Fury Swipes to slice dough in order to make ramen and asked him to work in his restaurant as a noodle maker. After some thought, which included reflecting back on previous failures and the lack of appreciation and respect from Jessie and James, Meowth quit the Team Rocket Trio and accepted the offer. However, he eventually rejoined the group after hearing that James and Jessie were in danger.

Meowth has used his claws to pick locks on several occasions, such as when Jessie, James, and he wanted to get into [[Canalave City]]'s [[Old Chateau]] in ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]''.

[[File:Jessilina and Meowth.png|thumb|250px|Meowth in the Lilypad Contest]]
In ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]'', Jessie and Meowth were competing against another Trainer and his Marowak. Although Jessie complained that Marowak's [[Thick Club]] would put her and Meowth at a huge disadvantage, the match continued. However, they were immediately disqualified from the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]], because Meowth accidentally sliced the ball with his Fury Swipes, instead of hitting it.

In ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', James disguised himself as Jessilina due to Jessie being sick. Meowth, following his promise in ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]'', was used during the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]], where he used his talent for slicing ramen noodles. The two then gave the [[Contest Judge|judges]] the ramen to taste, which was declared to be of excellent quality. The performance was impressive enough to advance Jessilina to the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]]. Upon seeing the appeal on [[Television|TV]], Christopher became very proud.

In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Meowth first made an appearance in the opening song when he and Team Rocket were powering a blimp by peddling on a bike. However, they grew tired and crashed before they had a chance to do anything. Not too long after, Team Rocket appeared again when {{OBP|Kevin|M12}} explained [[Sheena]]'s ability to communicate with Pokémon. Meowth appeared later in the movie when {{p|Arceus}} was floating down to investigate the fake [[Jewel of Life]]. After Arceus found out the Jewel was fake, it attacked the group. Ash, Sheena, Kevin, Dawn and Brock escaped, but Team Rocket was caught in the explosion and ended up being washed into the lake. Meowth made minor appearances throughout the rest of the movie as the battle between the [[Legendary Pokémon]] continued. Meowth also made an appearance in the credits, when an {{p|Electrode}} used Explosion on Team Rocket when they sneaked into the corn field.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====
[[File:Meowth BW anime.png|thumb|260px|Meowth as seen in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'']]
Jessie, James, and Meowth were sent to the [[Unova]] region under orders from Giovanni after they were promoted in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. To prevent them from getting too much attention, Giovanni did not allow Jessie's and James's other Pokémon to be sent to them, only making them use Pokémon native to Unova. This, however, made Meowth think of what would happen to him. Throughout most of the series, Meowth and his two friends were presented as horribly failing and erroneous criminals, always failing in their missions to capture Ash's Pikachu or other Pokémon. In Unova, however, he, along with the rest of his team, developed a more serious attitude in their work, as he had when first introduced, being quicker-witted and much more resourceful than before and using ingenious methods of escape and thus proving much more difficult for Ash to defeat. He has also demonstrated much more battling skill than before, being agile enough to land on his feet when blown back by Ash's {{TP|Ash|Pidove}}'s {{m|Gust}}, and unlike before, does not horribly injure himself in battle.

In ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'', while in [[Nimbasa City]], Team Rocket prepared to put their latest plan into action. Later, in the next episode, ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'', Meowth was found injured by Ash, Iris and Cilan. While recovering, Meowth explained that while in Nimbasa City, he had botched up Team Rocket's scheme badly and was fired by Giovanni, leading to Jessie and James turning their backs on him. Later, [[Iris's Axew]] was kidnapped by a {{p|Scrafty}}, who wanted Axew's help to get its home back from a {{p|Mandibuzz}}. Using his ability to speak to both Pokémon and humans, Meowth not only helped get Axew back but also helped Scrafty get its home back and helped Mandibuzz return to her original nest. Afterwards, Meowth decided to travel with Ash and his friends, only for Iris to attempt to capture him in a {{i|Poké Ball}}. The capture nearly succeeded but Meowth broke out and told her he was going to help her regardless. Ever since, it seems to have become a running gag that he ends up in a Poké Ball at one point in an episode, as Iris tried twice (one of which was because Meowth didn't want a Purrloin to get caught), and by [[Cliff]]. However, in ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]'', it was revealed that Meowth's being fired was fake and all just one of Team Rocket's schemes to steal all the Pokémon from Nimbasa City's Pokémon Center.

He along with [[Jessie]] and [[James]] later left Unova temporarily in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'' and then reappeared starting in ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]''.

In ''[[BW115|The Pokémon Harbor Patrol!]]'', he, along with Jessie and James demonstrated their agility by easily dodging {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

In ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', {{TRT}} invaded Colress's newest laboratory and drew his security into a trap in the woods. Once Colress was alone, Meowth approached him and attempted to convince him to join Team Rocket. Colress refused, but offered to allow Meowth to participate in an experiment to increase his strength. Meowth agreed, having undergone training to resist the mind control device. However, Colress still managed to take control of Meowth, and ordered him to attack Jessie and James. Using {{TP|Jessie|Frillish}} and {{TP|James|Amoonguss}}, they managed to snap him out of it before escaping. In ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', the extension of his battling skill was shown again; he took on multiple opponents, including several of [[Team Plasma]]'s {{p|Liepard}}.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''=====
Meowth continued to travel with Jessie and James through Kalos in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''.

In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', Giovanni approved the trio's plan to steal as many rare and powerful Pokémon as they could in Kalos.

In ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'' Meowth along with Jessie and James encountered {{an|Malamar|an evil, psychopathic Malamar}}. Malamar managed to take control of Jessie and James, as well as their Pokémon, but Meowth used Fury Swipes on itself to endure the hypnotizing. After Meowth escaped he encountered Ash and his friends and warned them of the Malamar. With Team Rocket in tow, Malamar found the whereabouts of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} by a tree. It took Pikachu with them and forced him to be under their control. By the time Meowth, Ash and his friends arrived in the observation chamber of the radio observatory, Malamar took control of {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and {{an|Serena}}. Meowth and Ash managed to endure it by once again using Fury Swipes on their faces to keep focus. The [[Clemontic Gear|Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device]] that Clemont built earlier entered the observatory and crashes into Malamar, breaking its control over everyone it hypnotized. Meowth translated Malamar's evil ambitions of conquering the world as part of an evil grand design to Ash and company and tried to stop it from doing so. But unfortunately for them, Malamar escaped. As Team Rocket recuperates from their ordeal with Malamar, Meowth reveals to them that Malamar is the evolved form of Inkay, causing them to react nervously when they looked at [[James's Inkay]].

In ''[[XY023|Coming Back Into the Cold!]]'', Meowth tried to stop Serena, Bonnie, and Alexa from rescuing an {{p|Amaura}} that he stole alongside Jessie and James, even showing off his prehensile strategy of using Fury Swipes to block [[Serena's Fennekin]]'s {{m|Hidden Power}}. However, the parent {{p|Aurorus}} appeared in front of Meowth and froze him with {{m|Blizzard}}, allowing the three heroes to save Amaura.

In ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', Team Rocket, Ash, his friends, and Officer Jenny faced the evil Malamar from before. Meowth was scared of Inkay again because Inkay evolves into Malamar. They followed Inkay and met the evil Malamar again. Clemont, Meowth and James managed to escape but the evil Malamar held Ash, Pikachu, Serena, Bonnie, Jessie, Wobbuffet, and Officer Jenny with {{m|Psychic}}. However, thanks to the combined forces of the good Malamar and Inkay from the forest below [[Grace Tower]], they managed to stop the evil Malamar, rescue everyone and save the world from certain destruction. But the evil Malamar escaped into the future, swearing to fight again and their grand design will succeed someday once they return.

In ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', Team Rocket staged an ambush for Ash and his friends, tricking the heroes into giving them their Pokémon in their [[Poké Ball]]s before trapping them. However, after stealing some freshly made Poké Balls, the group discovered that Pikachu was still free. Meowth then chased Pikachu throughout the [[Poké Ball Factory]], attempting to recall the Mouse Pokémon into his Poké Ball. Failing to do so, Team Rocket attempted to escape with their stash of stolen Poké Balls in their getaway van, but got stopped in their tracks by Pikachu's Thunderbolt. Meowth then challenges Pikachu to a duel, wagering Ash and his friends's Poké Balls, while at the same time trying to recall Pikachu again. However, the Scratch Cat Pokémon is still defeated by his enemy before blasting off again with the rest of his team.

In ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', he performed with Jessie and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} in the [[Dendemille Town]] [[Pokémon Showcase]]. They lost but they made it to the performing round.

In ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', Meowth appeared with [[Jessie|other]] [[James|members]] of his group, apparently unable to sleep due to the loud snoring of Jessie and James, but successfully did so after putting in earplugs and counting {{p|Mareep}}. Later it woke up in a nightmare of [[Squishy]], caused by a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Darkrai}}'s {{a|Bad Dreams}}, wherein he wished up to drink some water but is shocked to see [[Serena's Braixen|Serena's Delphox]], [[Clemont's Bunnelby|Clemont's Diggersby]] and [[Ash's Greninja|Ash's Froakie]] speaking human language during their conversation with Ash's Pikachu. He tried to tell this strange event to Jessie and James, and was all the more surprised to see the two talk like Wobbuffet and Inkay respectively. Utterly distraught by the strange happenings, he ran away from those two and collides with a similarly fleeing Pikachu. Glad that Pikachu is still normal, the two met up with Squishy who suggested running way as the trio stumbles across a flame monster and successfully evade the monster. Later when the Order Pokémon tries to explain its position in the ecosystem and transformed into its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Complete}} form, the real, still asleep, Meowth clang to James in horror. When the day sets in and he woke up, he set on to find Squishy after explaining his horrible experience to Jessie and James and collided once again with Pikachu. At this moment, the two were dragged into Squishy's nightmare once again by Darkrai. After meeting up with Squishy again, they were forced to flee the flame monster and pass a clearing burnt by the latter, which is subsequently replenished by Squishy. The trio continued further but was shocked to see the flame monster right in front of them. Squishy ordered the Scratch Cat Pokémon and the Mouse Pokémon to battle but the monster's powerful flame attacks easily caused Meowth to retreat. The monster was eventually dealt with assistance from Delphox, Diggersby, Froakie, [[Serena's Pancham|Serena's newly evolved Pangoro]] and [[Clemont's Chespin|Clemont's newly evolved Chesnaught]]. However, before the battle can be over, a ticking sound was heard and Clemont's alarm clock exploded, awakening Meowth, Pikachu and Squishy. Meowth then returned to Jessie and James, and explained his strange dream. James however claimed that Meowth has been working too much and is starting to hallucinate, and Jessie suggested that Meowth should go back to sleep but the Normal-type Pokémon decided that he's never going to sleep again, because he doesn't want that dream again.

In ''[[XY101|A Dancing Debut!]]'', he and his teammates reached [[Couriway Town]] and witnessed the Showcase venue. Later they sneaked up in the Showcase premises to learn the theme of the Theme Performance so that Jessie might prepare before hand. When Jessie revealed a sheet with an abstract drawing on it she stole rather hastily due to Meowth setting up the alarm, he deduced that Theme Performance is about fashion and making hats. However his intuition is proved wrong when they learn that the theme actually revolves around [[Poké Puff]] baking. Later, in Jessilee's performance, the Scratch Cat Pokémon was seen giving a 'paw massage' to the dough and later imprinted his charm on the Poké Puff. He then ended his part by using {{m|Fury Swipes}} to spread chocolate syrup on the Poké Puff. When the Showcase ended and Jessie is awarded the Princess Key, he was seen crying, happy that Jessie managed to win the Princess Key.

In ''[[XY112|Master Class Is in Session!]]'', Meowth first appeared praising Jessie, who had entered the [[Gloire City]] [[Pokémon Showcase]] Master Class, as the future Kalos Queen. During the first round, he was seen with Wobbuffet in the waiting room, cheering on Jessilee as she performed with her {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}}. He was Jessie's partner Pokémon in the quarter finals and semi-finals (along with Gourgeist). When Jessie lost the semi-finals, he and Gourgeist held on to each other, fearing Jessie's anger, but their fears were unfounded, as she seemed pretty delighted at her performance in the Master Class, happy that Kalos could see her beauty. When the Master Class was over, he, along with James, Inkay, Gourgeist and Wobbuffet, were seen walking behind a silent Jessie through [[Gloire City]], fearing her wrath on losing. However, she shrugged their fears and decided that she just wanted to give them a feast for supporting her, which caused them to be overjoyed and jump over her; Jessie then angrily declared that the feast shall be financed by James.

He along with his teammates and Jessie's Wobbuffet worked as [[Malva]]'s assistants during the [[Lumiose Conference]] from ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'' to ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', with the aim of earning money and capturing any strong Pokémon in the [[Lumiose Conference|Kalos League]]. However, they were not very pleased with their job and felt that they were over-working; despite this, they did not quit their jobs. In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', they made it a point to steal the two finalists, Ash and [[Alain]]'s, Pokémon after the battle, but could not execute their plan due to Team Flare wreaking havoc in [[Lumiose City]]. In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', he, in disguise of a news reporter, set out with his teammates, {{an|Serena}}, [[Mairin]] and [[Professor Sycamore]] towards [[Lysandre Labs]] in an attempt to take over the base and bring Team Flare down. In [[XY135|the next episode]], he fled the [[Lysandre Labs]] after the [[Giant Rock]] transformed into a Zygarde, along with his teammates, on their helicopter. He was in-charge of shooting footage of the entire incident surrounding the Rock as he followed it on their helicopter on its way towards [[Anistar City]], and like his teammates, was utterly surprised to see the seven [[Gym Leader]]s and Kalos Champion [[Diantha]] arrive on the scene to deal with the Giant Rock.

After the disaster, he and his teammates claimed sole credit for defeating Team Flare to Giovanni.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''=====
{{incomplete|role|Role during the Nihilego-Lusamine arc}}
In ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'', the trio arrived in the [[Alola]] region to obtain some rare Alolan Pokémon for Giovanni. The first Pokémon they encountered was a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} on [[Melemele Island]]. After being scared by it, Meowth was the first to ascertain that it was not actually a {{p|Pikachu}}. He also refused to translate what Mimikyu was saying, determining it to be too scary. Since Jessie and James had left Gourgeist and Inkay at headquarters before going to Alola, Jessie threw Meowth at Mimikyu to try to capture it. Fury Swipes had no effect on it. Meowth then tried to remove its Pikachu costume. But when it looked within, Meowth was badly hexed, and fell unconscious. He had a vision of walking down a long tunnel, then ran into a light, finding visions of {{p|Glaceon}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, and {{p|Lopunny}} calling for him. They turned out to be projections cast by {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Haunter}}, and {{p|Gengar}}. Everything disappeared, and he fell into an abyss.

In the real world, Jessie and James dumped water on Meowth, reviving him. After relating his apparent near-death experience, he blamed Mimikyu for it. They hid from the approaching {{Ash}} and his classmates from the [[Pokémon School]]. When Mimikyu battled Pikachu hard, Team Rocket decided to attempt to capture it, and stepped in to stop Ash. When Pikachu threw an {{m|Electro Ball}} at Meowth, Mimikyu used [[Shadow Ball]] to deflect it, aligning itself with Team Rocket. Before they could fight again, however, a {{an|Bewear}} stepped in and carried Jessie and James off. Meowth got Mimikyu to disengage from Pikachu so they could chase the Bewear.

In ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', Bewear looked after the trio, giving them food and shelter at its den.

In ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', Meowth attempted to catch [[Ash's Rowlet]] and [[Lana's Popplio]], who had been separated from their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, but was defeated by a wild {{AP|Litten}}. Later, when Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio were caught by Team Rocket, Meowth invited Litten to join Team Rocket. The Fire Cat Pokémon apparently agreed, but it turned out to be a ruse to get itself and the other two free. Afterwards, they sent Team Rocket blasting off.

In ''[[SM018|A Seasoned Search!]]'', the trio completed their secret base in Bewear's den.

In ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', Meowth became worried for Litten after its caretaker {{an|Stoutland}} came down with an illness. Later, he came across Ash and told him to protect Litten. Following Stoutland's disappearance, Meowth visited Litten to try and get it to talk before leaving when Ash approached. Meowth later watched as Ash caught Litten, claiming that it was for the best, even though it turned them into enemies.
[[File:Matori Meowth and Meowth.png|250px|thumb|Meowth with Matori's Meowth]]
In ''[[SM025|A Team-on-Team Tussle!]]'', the trio, upon learning about [[Z-Move]]s, began their search for a Z-Ring. They discovered a [[Darkinium Z]] in a nest of {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Raticate}}, led by a {{pkmn2|Totem}} Raticate, and attempted to retrieve it. However, they were intercepted by members of [[Team Skull]], who were after the same Z-Crystal. Ultimately, after a clash with the other team, and with the Totem Pokémon, the trio obtained the Z-Crystal for themselves.

In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', Team Rocket was revealed to have flown to Kanto as per orders from the headquarters. At the airport, the trio noticed Misty and Brock meet up with Ash and his classmates, and after eavesdropping on the group's conversation, decided to steal Pokémon off of [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to present them to Giovanni. However, their attempt to steal the group's Pokémon was thwarted, and they were carried back to Alola by Bewear in ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]''.

In ''[[SM062|Acting True to Form!]]'', Meowth became upset when Jessie stole his limited-edition ice cream and ran off, upset only to fall into some mud and encountered an {{rf|Alolan}} Meowth. Jessie and James came looking for him and mistook the Alolan Meowth for him. Returning to base, he discovered the Alolan Meowth was winning over Jessie and James and ignored his warnings about not trusting it. Later, the Alolan Meowth arrived at Team Rocket Headquarters and found itself the assistant of Matori. It later contacted Meowth, stating its intentions to replace Persian on Giovanni's lap.

=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
{{incomplete|section|needs=role in Journeys}}
In [[JN043]], the trio were sent to [[Galar]] on Giovanni's command. During the trip, the [[Darkest Day]] begins, and the trio plan on using the opportunity to capture {{p|Eternatus}}. The plan failed, however, when Meowth was hit by a beam of [[Dynamax]] energy, causing him to [[Gigantamax]] for the first time. Unable to handle the energy, he began to attack his teammates. He [[JN045|eventually]] regains control of himself and goes to attack Eternatus with {{m|G-Max Gold Rush}}, but is robbed of his Dynamax energy by the Gigantic Pokémon and he and the rest of the trio are blasted off.

Meowth has an ambitious, conniving, and idealistic personality. He has made it his life goal to please his boss, {{an|Giovanni}}, and will stop at nothing to capture or steal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, especially [[Ash's Pikachu]], which he has been pursuing since ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''.

Meowth is a characteristically jealous individual, particularly towards other cat Pokémon such as [[Giovanni's Persian]] and [[Matori]]'s own {{TP|Matori|Meowth}}. He often clashes with them because they are equally as smug and conniving as him. Many of his personality traits are typical for other Meowth, where they have an affinity for affection, but he has an eye for sparkling objects. Unlike most other Pokémon, who are not truly evil and will only commit evil deeds when ordered to do so, as stated by [[Jessie's Ekans]] in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', Meowth is both perfectly capable of and willing to commit evil deeds without the aid of others. He is motivated by self-interest and greed, but also enjoys the thrill of taking advantage of others.

Despite his seemingly outgoing nature, Meowth also has a contemplative inner side that is not seen as often. In one of his image songs, [[Meowth's Song]], and in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', he is a philosopher. Meowth comforted [[Ash's Chimchar]] in ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]'' and even expressed some admiration for Ash and his friends. On a few occasions, Meowth has become stranded with Pikachu, and during these times, the two work together fairly well. Pikachu distrusts Meowth, but Meowth is more willing to let go of the past and work together. Usually, by the end of these episodes, Meowth will betray Pikachu once he and Pikachu find Jessie and James.

Meowth recognizes himself as a Pokémon, but has always felt at odds where he doesn't perfectly fit into the Pokémon world because of his ability to speak like a human. Despite his often self-interested nature, he is willing to support individuals with their own passions, and will go out of his way to ensure they achieve their goal. Examples include [[Simon]] from ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]'', who was certain he could understand the feelings of Pokémon, or [[Michelle]]'s {{p|Bagon}} who was keen on learning how to fly.
[[File:Meowth in love.png|thumb|250px|Meowth in love]]
Meowth is an amorous Pokémon, developing crushes on occasion, which often jeopardize Team Rocket's operations. He has also demonstrated aspirations of being a parent-like caretaker, like in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', when he coddled {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'s {{pkmn|Egg}} before fighting for custody of it, only to lose it to {{an|Misty}}. To regain custody of Togepi, he even defeated [[Brock's Onix]] by throwing a bucket of water in its face and finishing it with a [[Fury Swipes (move)|Fury Swipes]] attack to the head.

Meowth normally does not battle unless there are extreme circumstances; his explanation is that his ability to talk and walk upright came at the expense of battling ability. However, when forced to fight, Meowth is fairly resourceful, such as dumping a bucket of water on an {{p|Onix}} to weaken it, most notably [[Brock's Onix]] in ''Who Gets to Keep Togepi?''.

Much like [[Ash's Pikachu]], Meowth does not stay inside a {{i|Poké Ball}}, though he is technically a [[wild Pokémon]]. He remains a part of the trio because he feels he has a place with them. Meowth considers himself the brains of the trio's operations, namely because his ability to translate Pokémon speech for Jessie and James, and also because of his extensive technical knowledge, which has helped construct many of [[Team Rocket's mechas]]. He utilizes [[Boss fantasy|fantasies]] to explain his schemes to his teammates, though these also expose Meowth's ambitions to be Giovanni's sole companion. On several occasions, Meowth's value has been questioned, and he has shown signs of having abandonment issues, for example in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'' or in ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''. He even had some tension towards [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] when he first joined the trio and kept taking his place in the Team Rocket {{motto}}, but the pair now gets along. His attachment to Jessie and James is more obvious when he finds himself separated or when the trio has decided to go their separate ways. Examples of this include ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone]]'' or ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', when he became sad after Jessie and James got swallowed up by the [[Tree of Beginning]]'s antibodies.

During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', Meowth developed a bond with {{AP|Litten}}. In ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', Meowth was brought to tears when Litten explained its past. His concern for Litten grew in ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', when {{an|Stoutland}} began to grow ill before disappearing, and he even informed Ash that he had better protect Litten. Following Stoutland's disappearance, Meowth visited Litten to try and get it to talk before leaving when Ash approached. Meowth later watched as Ash caught Litten, knowing that it was for the best even though it meant they were enemies. Encountering {{p|Torracat}} for the first time since Litten evolved during ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]'', Meowth seemed to be excited by its evolution.

Meowth appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series. He first appeared in disguise with [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in a Pokémon Center, being wanted for stealing Pokémon. When a Trainer who had just battled an {{p|Entei}} hurried inside the Pokémon Center, Team Rocket eavesdropped on the conversation and decided to hunt for Entei themselves. While looking for Entei in the forest, they were blasted off by a raging {{p|Onix}}.

==In the games==
===In the [[core series]]===
Meowth appears as part of [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s team each time they appear in {{game|Yellow}}, alongside {{TP|Jessie|Ekans|Arbok}}, {{TP|James|Koffing|Weezing}}, and their evolved forms. However, unlike in the anime, Meowth resides in a [[Poké Ball]] instead of traveling around with Jessie and James. He reappeared in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], which is based on Yellow. Unlike Yellow, he is no longer a part of the battles that Jessie and James have against the player. Also unlike the anime, he does not speak the human language, and instead, his dialogue mainly consists of making generic cat noises.

===In the spin-off games===
====Arcade games====
[[File:Battle Nine Gameplay 4.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Meowth in [[Pokémon: Battle Nine]]]]
Pikachu appears in [[Pokémon: Battle Nine]] and [[Pokémon: Wobbuffet Fell Down!]].

In Battle Nine, if a Meowth or Team Rocket symbol is selected instead of a Poké Ball, it will trigger the appearance of Meowth or the whole [[Team Rocket trio]] respectively. If Meowth appears, it will attempt to steal 1 captured Pokémon. If successful, it will replace it with a fresh Pokémon. If the whole Team appears, they will steal all captured Pokémon and replace them with fresh ones, essentially causing the player to start over. Both actions will cause the player to lose potential combo bonuses involving the Pokémon captured.

In Pokémon: Wobbuffet Fell Down!, players use medals to bring forth and control various Pokémon in order to reach a goal guarded by Meowth. He begins facing the tree chanting "ソーナンスがころんだニャ!", ''"Wobbuffet fell down, meow!"'' at varying speeds. He will turn around upon saying ''"meow!"'', and any Pokémon he sees at this time will be frozen from the game.

Starting on July 1, 2020, Meowth would occasionally appear in the {{DL|Pokémon Masters EX|Pokémon Center}}, stating how he got separated from his teammates {{mas|Jessie}} and {{mas|James}} while searching for a [[Mythical Pokémon]]. They are reunited for the Double Trouble Event.

Unlike most characters in Pokémon Masters, Meowth's appearance is based directly on his anime incarnation, and retains his Japanese voice actress.

==Trivia==
[[File:Meowth without charm.png|thumb|220px|Meowth without his koban]]
* Meowth is the first [[talking Pokémon]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. He is also one of the few talking Pokémon that do not do so telepathically.
* While Meowth is able to interpret most {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} speech, he cannot understand the "space talk" spoken by some [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]] like the {{an|Deoxys}} featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! Part 1]]'' and ''[[AG171|Part 2]]'', as well as [[Ash's Poipole]].
* Meowth claims that he is unable to learn {{m|Pay Day}} as a trade off for learning to speak. He claims to have "used up all his move slots" doing so.
* In the English dub, Meowth refers to his {{wp|Koban (coin)|koban}} as a charm.
* {{p|Sunflora}} is Meowth's most frequently used Pokémon disguise in the {{pkmn|anime}}, using the disguise seven times.
* There is some inconsistency as to whether or not Meowth hates water. In ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'', he wanted a hot spring, and in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', he is seen taking a bath with the Egg that will hatch into {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. Meowth has suggested that he and his teammates go into the water in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'' and again in ''[[EP085|Fit to be Tide]]'', while in episodes like ''[[BW129|The Pirates of Decolore!]]'', he prominently remains swimming in the sea without showing any displeasure. However, in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'' and ''[[HS09|Big Meowth, Little Dreams (Part 1)]]'', he hates water, as he is a cat.
* Meowth is the only known Pokémon to have been a [[Gym Leader]], briefly sharing the title with Jessie and James in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' after they had to fill in for {{an|Giovanni}}.
* In the Japanese version, Meowth will still say at least part of his name as a verbal tic, a common trait in anime. The same occurs in the early episodes of the dub, but it is far less frequent, and eventually scrapped altogether except when reciting the {{motto}}.
* For [[DP022]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Meowth. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about it: 「ピカチュウに　いつかはかちたい　ニャースかな」 ''"Wanting to beat Pikachu someday, is that {{tt|Nyarth|Meowth}}?"''.
