'''Tentacool and Tentacruel''' (Japanese: '''メノクラゲドククラゲ''' ''{{tt|Menokurage Dokukurage|Tentacool Tentacruel}}'') is episode 19 of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 5, 1997 and in USA on October 1, 1998.

= Synopsis =

Misty spots an injured Horsea in the water as she, Ash, and Brock wait for the next boat to the mainland. The Horsea seems to be communicating a warning, but Misty doesn't understand it and tries to capture it. Before she captures the Horsea, though, there's an explosion and a boat is destroyed. Misty immediately sends her Water Pokemon Staryu, Starmie, and Goldeen to rescue the sailors that have been flung into the ocean. Brock grabs a nearby boat and heads out to assist in the rescue effort. The sailors are mum about what caused their ship to explode.

Later, Ash and his friends meet Nastina, who is the spitting image of Brutella from the previous episode. She explains her plans of building an exclusive hotel on the ocean (literally, perched on a coral reef) for wealthy tourists. However, her building plans are upsetting the local Tentacool and Tentacruel, who've been attacking her construction site recently. She wants the Pokemon exterminated and offers a million dollar reward, which Ash and Brock are eager to accept. Misty angrily rejects Nastina's offer. She then explains her love of Water Pokemon to Ash and Brock, who don't quite understand her. Nastina then makes a public announcement offering a million dollars to anyone who exterminates the Tentacool and Tentacruel. The gang are nearly run over by the town's citizens, rushing to the beach to carry out Nastina's orders.

Team Rocket, who are always nearby, offer to help Nastina. They plan on using their "Super Secret Stun Sauce" on the Pokemon and then selling them at a fish market for more money. However, their submarine is soon surrounded by angry Tentacool, one of whom blasts the stun sauce with a ray gun-type attack. The sauce lands on another Tentacool, which then morphs into a gigantic Tentacruel and begins a citywide rampage. Meowth is captured by the large Tentacruel and is used as its mouthpiece. It explains that it's destroying the city in much the same way Nastina has been destroying its coral home. The Horsea that Misty saw earlier pleads with the Tentacruel to stop, but is swatted away by a tentacle. Ash and Brock send out their Pokemon to stop the Tentacruel.

The Tentacruel doesn't understand why the Pokemon would fight on the side of the humans, but then Misty stops it in its tracks. She's managed to get to the roof of a building and pleads with it to stop its rampage. She tells the Tentacruel that the humans now understand that what they were doing was wrong, and that the hotel won't be built on the coral reef. The Tentacruel drops Meowth onto a nearby Ferris Wheel, which then collapses, and then slowly goes into the ocean, followed by the other Tentacool. Nastina attempts once again to destroy the Tentacruel, but is blasted out of her tank by Horsea's attack and by the Tentacruel's tentacle. She is thrown into the air and finally lands on Brutell, destroying Brutella's restaurant in the process.

Ash, Misty and Brock finally board a boat to the mainland. Misty declares that "Horsea's the cutest!" and does Ash's victory pose, which annoys him. The sun sets on another adventure.

'''Beauty and the Beach''' (Japanese: '''アオプルコのきゅうじつ''' ''Holiday at Aopulco'') is episode 18 of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 29, 1997 and in USA on June 24, 2000.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =

Ash and company have finally arrived in Porta Vista, a beachside tourist town. Wasting no time, Ash, Brock and Pikachu change into swimsuits and jump into the ocean. Misty arrives a few minutes later, also in a swimsuit, and Ash stares at her. She asks why he's looking at her, and he cracks that "It's unusual to see [you] looking like a girl!" This earns him a beachball to the face by an angry Misty.

Team Rocket, still using their Gyarados submarine spy on beachgoers from their vantage point underwater. They decide to steal the money of the wealthy tourists. Suddenly, Jessie notices a speeding boat heading in their direction. The boat is piloted by Brock, who borrowed it. The boat collides with the sub and eventually crashes into a dock. Moe, the owner of the boat, comes out to survey the damage. Ash volunteers that he, Brock and Misty will work to help pay the cost of repairing the boat and the dock. Moe agrees to this.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket's sub has washed up onto a private beach and they're greeted by a woman named Brutella. James asks if they can work for her restaurant to help pay for repairs to their sub, and she agrees. Later, it's revealed that both Moe and Brutella are restauranteurs and rivals. For a while, Brutella's restaurant has more customers and James taunts Ash and his friends over this. Ash decides to have his Pokemon help out as well. Squirtle and Pikachu are told to hand out fliers advertising Moe's; Pidgeotto and Charmander are to help keep the grill going in the kitchen, and Bulbasaur is assigned to help Misty do her waitressing duties. This works well until Meowth sabotages everything (including throwing banana peels on the floor to trip Misty up) and the crowd leaves Moe's restaurant for Brutella's. Ash apologizes for messing everything up.

Brutella arrives with Team Rocket a few minutes later and tells Moe that he needs to pay her the money he owes her. If he's unable to pay, she'll take his boat as payment. Moe is despondent, as he doesn't think he'll have the money by tomorrow. He explains that he'd planned to take a world cruise in his boat. Ash encourages him not to give up on his dream.

Then, two familiar faces appear: Professor Oak and Delia Ketchum. Ash is surprised to see both of them. Professor Oak explains that the Beach Beauty and Pokemon Costume Contest is set to start shortly, and he suggests handing out fliers to the audience. He also suggests that Misty enter and (hopefully) win some prize money to help out Moe. Ash releases Pidgeotto, who blankets the beach and town with fliers. Soon, Moe's restaurant is full again, much to Brutella's dismay.

As the contest begins, Moe sits with Delia and Professor Oak. He explains how Ash encouraged him not to give up on his dream. Delia says that she and the professor are in town with the Pallet Town Volunteer Patrol. The contest begins, with Brock as emcee. Misty is the first contestant, and she uses her Starmie and Ash's Squirtle to form a UFO. Team Rocket's Ekans and Koffing are next, and they're costumed as an Omastar. They're kicked off the stage by Gary Oak and his cheerleaders, who are apparently the next contestants. Gary grabs the microphone from Brock and insults Ash, who jumps out of his seat and heads for the stage.

Meanwhile, Brutella tells Jessie and James that she knows they're Team Rocket members and that she's fixed their submarine. She blackmails them into stopping the contest so that the audience will come to her restaurant. Jessie tells Brutella that they can destroy things without even trying.

Back onstage, Ash challenges the always-cocky Gary to a Pokemon battle, but Gary refuses, stating that he doesn't want to battle an amateur trainer. Brock steps between the two rivals before Ash's anger gets the best of him. Just then, the Gyarados submarine explodes from the water, causing panic. People run away, thinking that it's a real Gyarados on a rampage. Ash grabs the microphone and tells the remaining frightened audience members that it's a mecha, not a Pokemon. Team Rocket then fire a missile from the sub. Gary looks at Ash, who sends out Pidgeotto and Charmander. Charmander's Flamethrower attack hits the missile, which turns and changes course: straight for the submarine! Team Rocket pedal furiously to get away, but they crash into Brutella's restaurant, which is then destroyed by the missile.

Ash and his friends say farewell to Moe, who is heading off on his long-awaited cruise. Ash also says goodbye to Profesor Oak and his mother, who is holding a trophy inscribed with the words: "First Place in Our Hearts: Ash Ketchum."

Delia says that she and the professor are in town with the Pallet Town Volunteer Patrol. The contest begins, with Brock as emcee. Misty is the first contestant, and she uses her Starmie and Ash's Squirtle to form a UFO. Team Rocket's Ekans and Koffing are next, and they're costumed as an Omastar. They're kicked off the stage by Gary Oak and his cheerleaders, who are apparently the next contestants. Gary grabs the microphone from Brock and insults Ash, who jumps out of his seat and heads for the stage.

Meanwhile, Brutella tells Jessie and James that she knows they're Team Rocket members and that she's fixed their submarine. She blackmails them into stopping the contest so that the audience will come to her restaurant. Jessie tells Brutella that they can destroy things without even trying.

Back onstage, Ash challenges the always-cocky Gary to a Pokemon battle, but Gary refuses, stating that he doesn't want to battle an amateur trainer. Brock steps between the two rivals before Ash's anger gets the best of him. Just then, the Gyarados submarine explodes from the water, causing panic. People run away, thinking that it's a real Gyarados on a rampage. Ash grabs the microphone and tells the remaining frightened audience members that it's a mecha, not a Pokemon. Team Rocket then fire a missile from the sub. Gary looks at Ash, who sends out Pidgeotto and Charmander. Charmander's Flamethrower attack hits the missile, which turns and changes course: straight for the submarine! Team Rocket pedal furiously to get away, but they crash into Brutella's restaurant, which is then destroyed by the missile.

Ash and his friends say farewell to Moe, who is heading off on his long-awaited cruise. Ash also says goodbye to Profesor Oak and his mother, who is holding a trophy inscribed with the words: "First Place in Our Hearts: Ash Ketchum."

James was wearing a Inflatable Bikini

Originally, the "Who's That Pokémon?" was Nastina. It showed her dodging a bunch of random objects. Afterwards, she stick out her tongue and is answered by having a sink drop on her head. In the dub, it was [[Pidgeotto]].

= Synopsis =

Our heroes have now finally arrived in [[Mossdeep City]], and are on their way to the Gym so [[Ash]] can battle for his seventh badge. As they are about to enter the Gym, a woman runs out in a hurry. She stops at Ash’s request, and he asks her if the Gym Leader is around. She explains that the Gym Leader is at the Mossdeep Space Center to watch a rocket launch. This instantly catches [[Max]]’s interest. The woman goes on to explain that the rocket will be escorting a manned space shuttle, and Max gets all googly-eyed at the prospect of watching the launch himself. [[Brock]] consults his guidebook for info on the Space Center, and Max talks about it a bit more. [[May]] is also interested, remembering their recent adventure with a Lunatone and learning of its origin in outer space. Ash then gets very annoyed with all of this space talk, and insists that the only reason they’ll be going there is to find the Gym Leader. Max pretends to apologize, but to himself he thinks that Ash will love it once he gets there, which will allow Max more time to explore and have fun.

At the Space Center, the astronaut pilot of the shuttle is going through the prelaunch checklist with mission control. Some conversation also goes on between [[Jin]] (the pilot) and [[Rei]] (his wife, one of the operators in the mission control center). While all this is going on, [[Team Rocket]] is quite a distance away in a tree, observing the launch site through their binoculars. As they talk, [[Meowth]] gets the idea to (believe it or not) steal the shuttle and give it to the Boss! He has a vision of Giovanni waking up in the morning and smiling when he sees the Team Rocket rocket outside his bedroom window. Meowth then sees Giovanni flying in the shuttle to explore outer space, and of course praising “Meowth and friends” for giving it to him. The trio does their trademark cheer at the end.

Ash and company enter the Space Center and Ash wonders aloud where the Gym Leader is. They come to a door and open it, finding various machines inside the rooms. This catches Ash’s interest, and Max says that these are the training machines that astronauts use. Ash runs to one, while May, Max, and Brock approach another. May wonders what it is, and Max calls it a moonwalker. He explains that astronauts use it to practice walking on the moon in zero gravity, and May pictures herself having fun on the machine. Ash, meanwhile, is interested in the nearby MAT (multi-axis trainer). Finding the gate in front of it unlocked, he and Pikachu get in the seat and Ash straps himself in, thinking it’ll be fun to ride it. Looking around for a way to start it, he sees two buttons on the left armrest: a blue one and a red one. He pushes the red one, and the MAT promptly begins to rotate and spin rapidly, in one direction after another. Ash and Pikachu yell out and hang on for dear life. Finally, Pikachu braces itself against Ash and stretches its tail towards the blue button, barely managing to push it, stopping the ride. Ash and Pikachu get off, stagger up to the others, and collapse, very dizzy. His friends chide him for getting on the machine without knowing what he was doing.

Suddenly, a series of lights and sounds coming from some low windows catches Ash’s attention, from his prone position on the floor. He crawls over and looks, and what he sees really catches his attention this time: it’s a Pokemon battle! An identically dressed boy and girl (who we know as [[Tate]] & [[Liza]]) stand at opposite ends of a battlefield, with Tate’s Solrock and Liza’s Lunatone in the middle of a battle. A Baltoy is stationed at each corner of the room, four in total. As the battle continues, Lunatone and Solrock both use Tackle, colliding in the middle of the field. Tate then tells Solrock to use Sandstorm, but it has no effect on Lunatone. Liza taunts her brother for forgetting that Sandstorm doesn’t work on other Rock-types. She then tells Lunatone to use Psychic, which shoves Solrock back into the wall behind Tate. Tate worriedly asks his Pokemon if it’s ok. It is, so Tate calls for a Solarbeam, which Solrock begins to charge. Liza calls for a Tackle to try and break Solrock’s concentration, and Lunatone hits Solrock with the Tackle, but it’s still able to fire its Solarbeam. Liza has Lunatone counter with Ice Beam. The two beams collide and clash for a bit, but the Ice Beam prevails, and ends up freezing Solrock!

Tate recalls his Pokemon and says it put up a good battle, then braces himself for the teasing from his sister. Liza points out a few things Tate did wrong, and just then, Ash & friends enter the room. Tate and Liza gasp in surprise, and suddenly the newcomers are levitated into the air! Turns out this is a weightless room, and Tate and Liza were held down to their respective platforms by ankle straps. They both release the straps and float up to join the newcomers. Liza turns Ash upright, and explains about the weightless room. She says that the Baltoy use their Psychic move to simulate weightlessness. Tate floats up to meet Max, and shows him a little weightless somersault trick.

Everyone introduces themselves, and Ash compliments Liza on her battle. Tate makes an angry retort, but is shot down by his sister, much to his annoyance. Max and Tate then talk to each other about how their sisters are so bossy, think they know everything, etc. May identifies with Liza as well, with them both having brothers and all. Despite being twins, Liza is slightly older than Tate, a fact she never lets him hear the end of. Tate and Liza go on to explain that they were having their battle while waiting for the rocket launch. Their father is the shuttle’s pilot, so they are there to see him off. Their mother works at the Center as well. After they talk a bit more, Ash says that they came to the center looking for the Gym Leader. Tate and Liza say that he should look no farther. Ash is surprised, so the siblings identify themselves as the co-Gym Leaders of Mossdeep City.

Tate demonstrates how to ride the MAT properly. Max can’t resist teasing Ash about this. Liza then tells Ash that in their Gym they do double battles using their Lunatone and Solrock. Liza seems surprised when Ash still wants to challenge them. Liza asks May if there’s a ride she’d like to try, and May says she’d love to try the moonwalker, so Liza and May head over there. Ash is about to follow, but Pikachu leaps off his shoulder and stops him. Ash asks what’s up, and Pikachu responds by doing hilarious impressions of Corphish, Grovyle, and Torkoal, with the message being that the other Pokemon would love the chance to explore the Space Center as well. Ash gets the message. A scene change later, we see all the group’s Pokemon trying various rides and machines. Grovyle rides another MAT while Corphish watches. Combusken rides the MAT next to it. Torkoal, Forretress, Lombre, and Mudkip play around in one of the weightless rooms, with the help of the Baltoy. Pikachu, Skitty, and Bulbasaur, all wearing space suits, swim in one of those water tanks used to simulate weightlessness. May and Liza talk for a bit while watching the swimming, and Tate shows Max a flight simulator used to train astronauts. The two boys sit in the pilot and copilot seats, as Tate explains how the simulator works. He starts it up, and an amazed Max happily joins in the pretend mission. We then see Corphish exiting into a hallway and noticing a string of motorized carts carrying space food that is going to be loaded onto the shuttle. Confused, but apparently recognizing some of the pictures on the boxes as food, the crab Pokemon excitedly takes off after the carts.

Back at the launch site, the prelaunch work is continuing. Jin has now joined his wife Rei in the mission control center. Rei suddenly notices something on the bank of monitors, and asks a worker to focus in on a certain area among the crates of space food that have been loaded onto the shuttle. The monitor in question zooms in, but nothing seems amiss. Rei apologizes, thinking it must have been her imagination. It turns out, however, that it wasn’t her imagination, since we see a brief shot of Corphish, stowed away among the crates and happily chowing down on the space food.

Later, Ash, Pikachu, Brock, May, and Liza catch up to Jin as he is about to board the shuttle again for the last time before launch. Liza introduces her friends to her father, and they talk briefly about possibly finding Pokemon in space. Liza then asks Jin if he’s seen Tate, since they haven’t seen him since he and Max ran off together. Jin says no, he hasn’t seen him. Then he suddenly gets a call on his little radio alerting him to a security breach. The scene then cuts to Team Rocket, dressed in space suits, jogging down a hallway. They’re clearly visible and audible from mission control, and Rei, over a microphone, demands to know what they’re doing. TR stops and says their motto, and that’s when Ash & the others find them. TR announces their plan to steal the rocket, and Jin and Liza say there’s no way they’ll get away with it. James sends out Cacnea to do a Pin Missile (it doesn’t try to hug him this time), and Ash counters with Pikachu’s Thunderbolt. Despite getting zapped, Jessie still manages to send out Seviper to do a Haze, allowing them to make their escape and head for the shuttle’s cockpit.

Max and Tate are now in the cockpit, and Max is worried that maybe they shouldn’t be there. Tate says it’s ok, and Max feels better. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is nearing the cockpit. Passing the crates of food from earlier, Jessie suddenly goes back to them, excited. Meowth insists that they continue forward, but Jessie grabs a bunch of food packets anyway. After they leave, Corphish pops up from its hiding place among the crates. Team Rocket have now reached the cockpit, only to find it occupied by Max and Tate. Meowth quickly ties them up with a rope, and boasts that Team Rocket now finally has their rocket. To put them in the proper mood for takeoff, James sends out Chimecho, but it Wraps around his head first. He gets it off and attaches it to the ceiling, and its Heal Bell calms them down. Meowth pushes the launch button, and the boosters start to fire. Everyone else notices this with alarm, and Rei radios to Jin that Tate and Max are aboard the shuttle. It’s too late though, as the shuttle is already taking off. The rocket and boosters fall off, and the shuttle is now in flight. Team Rocket’s cheering is suddenly interrupted when the shuttle inexplicably stops. Looking outside, they see that the Baltoy from the space center are using Psychic to stop the shuttle’s progress! Tate explains what’s going on in whispers to Max. Then Max notices Corphish hiding under a bank of controls. Corphish motions for Max to be quiet (doing the “shhh” gesture with its claw), and he nods. As Team Rocket decide what to do next, they suddenly find themselves suspended in midair! Offscreen, Corphish had cut the ropes and freed Max and Tate, and now Tate’s Solrock was using Psychic to levitate Team Rocket. Solrock throws them around the cabin for a bit until they all collide and fall to the floor, out cold. The boys and the Pokemon cheer, and Tate jumps on the radio and tells his parents that they’re OK. Liza and the others are happy, but Jin says that the Baltoy won’t be able to land the shuttle, so it’ll crash unless they do something!

Tate takes the pilot’s seat and says that he thinks he can land the shuttle, due to his experience in the simulator. Max says he’ll help as well, so the landing process begins. The Baltoy release their hold on the shuttle, and Jin begins relaying instructions to the boys. After a few tense moments of switch-flipping and control-monitoring, in which an impatient Corphish threatens to press a random button before Max whacks its claw away, the shuttle lands safely. Team Rocket, still dazed, stagger out of the shuttle and fall to the ground. There, Ash and the others are waiting for them. Combusken burns them with Fire Spin, Lunatone freezes them into the shape of a rocket with Ice Beam, and Pikachu uses Iron Tail to blast them off.

Later, the shuttle takes off for real, with Jin at the controls. Ash and friends watch the takeoff and comment on how Jin can now search for Pokemon in space, as Tate and Liza tell Ash that they’re now ready to accept his challenge. Ash is, of course, excited for the upcoming battle.

== Errors ==
There were a few technical issues with the anime's portrayal of a shuttle launch.
First, the solid rocket boosters should not have separated until after they had finished firing. Otherwise, they would have gone up instead of down and wasted a lot of energy. The external tank should not have separated until the shuttle was nearly in orbit. And the engines should not have been firing when the shuttle was about to land.

= Synopsis =

Our heroes have now finally arrived in [[Mossdeep City]], and are on their way to the Gym so [[Ash]] can battle for his seventh badge. As they are about to enter the Gym, a woman runs out in a hurry. She stops at Ash’s request, and he asks her if the Gym Leader is around. She explains that the Gym Leader is at the Mossdeep Space Center to watch a rocket launch. This instantly catches [[Max]]’s interest. The woman goes on to explain that the rocket will be escorting a manned space shuttle, and Max gets all googly-eyed at the prospect of watching the launch himself. [[Brock]] consults his guidebook for info on the Space Center, and Max talks about it a bit more. [[May]] is also interested, remembering their recent adventure with a Lunatone and learning of its origin in outer space. Ash then gets very annoyed with all of this space talk, and insists that the only reason they’ll be going there is to find the Gym Leader. Max pretends to apologize, but to himself he thinks that Ash will love it once he gets there, which will allow Max more time to explore and have fun.

At the Space Center, the astronaut pilot of the shuttle is going through the prelaunch checklist with mission control. Some conversation also goes on between [[Jin]] (the pilot) and [[Rei]] (his wife, one of the operators in the mission control center). While all this is going on, [[Team Rocket]] is quite a distance away in a tree, observing the launch site through their binoculars. As they talk, [[Meowth]] gets the idea to (believe it or not) steal the shuttle and give it to the Boss! He has a vision of Giovanni waking up in the morning and smiling when he sees the Team Rocket rocket outside his bedroom window. Meowth then sees Giovanni flying in the shuttle to explore outer space, and of course praising “Meowth and friends” for giving it to him. The trio does their trademark cheer at the end.

Ash and company enter the Space Center and Ash wonders aloud where the Gym Leader is. They come to a door and open it, finding various machines inside the rooms. This catches Ash’s interest, and Max says that these are the training machines that astronauts use. Ash runs to one, while May, Max, and Brock approach another. May wonders what it is, and Max calls it a moonwalker. He explains that astronauts use it to practice walking on the moon in zero gravity, and May pictures herself having fun on the machine. Ash, meanwhile, is interested in the nearby MAT (multi-axis trainer). Finding the gate in front of it unlocked, he and Pikachu get in the seat and Ash straps himself in, thinking it’ll be fun to ride it. Looking around for a way to start it, he sees two buttons on the left armrest: a blue one and a red one. He pushes the red one, and the MAT promptly begins to rotate and spin rapidly, in one direction after another. Ash and Pikachu yell out and hang on for dear life. Finally, Pikachu braces itself against Ash and stretches its tail towards the blue button, barely managing to push it, stopping the ride. Ash and Pikachu get off, stagger up to the others, and collapse, very dizzy. His friends chide him for getting on the machine without knowing what he was doing.

Suddenly, a series of lights and sounds coming from some low windows catches Ash’s attention, from his prone position on the floor. He crawls over and looks, and what he sees really catches his attention this time: it’s a Pokemon battle! An identically dressed boy and girl (who we know as [[Tate]] & [[Liza]]) stand at opposite ends of a battlefield, with Tate’s Solrock and Liza’s Lunatone in the middle of a battle. A Baltoy is stationed at each corner of the room, four in total. As the battle continues, Lunatone and Solrock both use Tackle, colliding in the middle of the field. Tate then tells Solrock to use Sandstorm, but it has no effect on Lunatone. Liza taunts her brother for forgetting that Sandstorm doesn’t work on other Rock-types. She then tells Lunatone to use Psychic, which shoves Solrock back into the wall behind Tate. Tate worriedly asks his Pokemon if it’s ok. It is, so Tate calls for a Solarbeam, which Solrock begins to charge. Liza calls for a Tackle to try and break Solrock’s concentration, and Lunatone hits Solrock with the Tackle, but it’s still able to fire its Solarbeam. Liza has Lunatone counter with Ice Beam. The two beams collide and clash for a bit, but the Ice Beam prevails, and ends up freezing Solrock!

Tate recalls his Pokemon and says it put up a good battle, then braces himself for the teasing from his sister. Liza points out a few things Tate did wrong, and just then, Ash & friends enter the room. Tate and Liza gasp in surprise, and suddenly the newcomers are levitated into the air! Turns out this is a weightless room, and Tate and Liza were held down to their respective platforms by ankle straps. They both release the straps and float up to join the newcomers. Liza turns Ash upright, and explains about the weightless room. She says that the Baltoy use their Psychic move to simulate weightlessness. Tate floats up to meet Max, and shows him a little weightless somersault trick.

Everyone introduces themselves, and Ash compliments Liza on her battle. Tate makes an angry retort, but is shot down by his sister, much to his annoyance. Max and Tate then talk to each other about how their sisters are so bossy, think they know everything, etc. May identifies with Liza as well, with them both having brothers and all. Despite being twins, Liza is slightly older than Tate, a fact she never lets him hear the end of. Tate and Liza go on to explain that they were having their battle while waiting for the rocket launch. Their father is the shuttle’s pilot, so they are there to see him off. Their mother works at the Center as well. After they talk a bit more, Ash says that they came to the center looking for the Gym Leader. Tate and Liza say that he should look no farther. Ash is surprised, so the siblings identify themselves as the co-Gym Leaders of Mossdeep City.

Tate demonstrates how to ride the MAT properly. Max can’t resist teasing Ash about this. Liza then tells Ash that in their Gym they do double battles using their Lunatone and Solrock. Liza seems surprised when Ash still wants to challenge them. Liza asks May if there’s a ride she’d like to try, and May says she’d love to try the moonwalker, so Liza and May head over there. Ash is about to follow, but Pikachu leaps off his shoulder and stops him. Ash asks what’s up, and Pikachu responds by doing hilarious impressions of Corphish, Grovyle, and Torkoal, with the message being that the other Pokemon would love the chance to explore the Space Center as well. Ash gets the message. A scene change later, we see all the group’s Pokemon trying various rides and machines. Grovyle rides another MAT while Corphish watches. Combusken rides the MAT next to it. Torkoal, Forretress, Lombre, and Mudkip play around in one of the weightless rooms, with the help of the Baltoy. Pikachu, Skitty, and Bulbasaur, all wearing space suits, swim in one of those water tanks used to simulate weightlessness. May and Liza talk for a bit while watching the swimming, and Tate shows Max a flight simulator used to train astronauts. The two boys sit in the pilot and copilot seats, as Tate explains how the simulator works. He starts it up, and an amazed Max happily joins in the pretend mission. We then see Corphish exiting into a hallway and noticing a string of motorized carts carrying space food that is going to be loaded onto the shuttle. Confused, but apparently recognizing some of the pictures on the boxes as food, the crab Pokemon excitedly takes off after the carts.

Back at the launch site, the prelaunch work is continuing. Jin has now joined his wife Rei in the mission control center. Rei suddenly notices something on the bank of monitors, and asks a worker to focus in on a certain area among the crates of space food that have been loaded onto the shuttle. The monitor in question zooms in, but nothing seems amiss. Rei apologizes, thinking it must have been her imagination. It turns out, however, that it wasn’t her imagination, since we see a brief shot of Corphish, stowed away among the crates and happily chowing down on the space food.

Later, Ash, Pikachu, Brock, May, and Liza catch up to Jin as he is about to board the shuttle again for the last time before launch. Liza introduces her friends to her father, and they talk briefly about possibly finding Pokemon in space. Liza then asks Jin if he’s seen Tate, since they haven’t seen him since he and Max ran off together. Jin says no, he hasn’t seen him. Then he suddenly gets a call on his little radio alerting him to a security breach. The scene then cuts to Team Rocket, dressed in space suits, jogging down a hallway. They’re clearly visible and audible from mission control, and Rei, over a microphone, demands to know what they’re doing. TR stops and says their motto, and that’s when Ash & the others find them. TR announces their plan to steal the rocket, and Jin and Liza say there’s no way they’ll get away with it. James sends out Cacnea to do a Pin Missile (it doesn’t try to hug him this time), and Ash counters with Pikachu’s Thunderbolt. Despite getting zapped, Jessie still manages to send out Seviper to do a Haze, allowing them to make their escape and head for the shuttle’s cockpit.

Max and Tate are now in the cockpit, and Max is worried that maybe they shouldn’t be there. Tate says it’s ok, and Max feels better. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is nearing the cockpit. Passing the crates of food from earlier, Jessie suddenly goes back to them, excited. Meowth insists that they continue forward, but Jessie grabs a bunch of food packets anyway. After they leave, Corphish pops up from its hiding place among the crates. Team Rocket have now reached the cockpit, only to find it occupied by Max and Tate. Meowth quickly ties them up with a rope, and boasts that Team Rocket now finally has their rocket. To put them in the proper mood for takeoff, James sends out Chimecho, but it Wraps around his head first. He gets it off and attaches it to the ceiling, and its Heal Bell calms them down. Meowth pushes the launch button, and the boosters start to fire. Everyone else notices this with alarm, and Rei radios to Jin that Tate and Max are aboard the shuttle. It’s too late though, as the shuttle is already taking off. The rocket and boosters fall off, and the shuttle is now in flight. Team Rocket’s cheering is suddenly interrupted when the shuttle inexplicably stops. Looking outside, they see that the Baltoy from the space center are using Psychic to stop the shuttle’s progress! Tate explains what’s going on in whispers to Max. Then Max notices Corphish hiding under a bank of controls. Corphish motions for Max to be quiet (doing the “shhh” gesture with its claw), and he nods. As Team Rocket decide what to do next, they suddenly find themselves suspended in midair! Offscreen, Corphish had cut the ropes and freed Max and Tate, and now Tate’s Solrock was using Psychic to levitate Team Rocket. Solrock throws them around the cabin for a bit until they all collide and fall to the floor, out cold. The boys and the Pokemon cheer, and Tate jumps on the radio and tells his parents that they’re OK. Liza and the others are happy, but Jin says that the Baltoy won’t be able to land the shuttle, so it’ll crash unless they do something!

Tate takes the pilot’s seat and says that he thinks he can land the shuttle, due to his experience in the simulator. Max says he’ll help as well, so the landing process begins. The Baltoy release their hold on the shuttle, and Jin begins relaying instructions to the boys. After a few tense moments of switch-flipping and control-monitoring, in which an impatient Corphish threatens to press a random button before Max whacks its claw away, the shuttle lands safely. Team Rocket, still dazed, stagger out of the shuttle and fall to the ground. There, Ash and the others are waiting for them. Combusken burns them with Fire Spin, Lunatone freezes them into the shape of a rocket with Ice Beam, and Pikachu uses Iron Tail to blast them off.

Later, the shuttle takes off for real, with Jin at the controls. Ash and friends watch the takeoff and comment on how Jin can now search for Pokemon in space, as Tate and Liza tell Ash that they’re now ready to accept his challenge. Ash is, of course, excited for the upcoming battle.

= Synopsis =

Thanks to [[Zak]] for the synopsis.

Ash and company finally reach Lilycove City. They'd originally intended to make a stop here because it's on the route to the gym in Mossdeep City. Since there's a nice view of the sea, they decide to walk. Ash and Pikachu are feeling too tired to walk, though, but then they find a bench to sit on. Everyone is getting hungry and May has a pamphlet describing all the restaurants in Lilycove City. Then a poster on a nearby wall catches her eye: the town is holding a local Pokémon Contest tomorrow. May decides to enter and the gang searches for a place for May to train.

As they continue walking, Pikachu's expression changes suddenly; it becomes very excited and runs off. Ash and company chase the little Pokémon and they arrive at a berry stand that appears to have every known berry for sale (with the exception of the super-rare ones). Before they can buy any berries, they all notice a girl with a Grumpig nearby and she seems very frustrated. She is trying to haggle with the man at the berry stand. A man approaches them and offers free samples. He offers Pikachu some slices of Nomel, which Pikachu happily gobbles up. Ash, hungry as usual, grabs a Nomel berry and eats it. He nearly faints from the sour berry taste. The man explains that Nomel Berries are much better for Pokémon and then he offers Ash some Mago Berries. They taste much sweeter.

Suddenly, Ash notices the young girl with a Grumpig walking by, carrying her heavy grocery bag. She is about to trip and fall, which she does, and her grocies spill out. Grumpig uses a psychic attack and lifts the bag and all the berries off the ground, puts them back into the bag, and then lays the bag carefully on the ground. Everyone who's witnessed Grumpig's actions claps and the girl thanks them. She also wishes Grumpig the best of luck in the upcoming Contest. May introduces herself to the girl, who says that her name is Kanata, the Pokémon Coordinator. Ash does a Pokédex data check on Grumpig. Brock observes that her Grumpig is very well trained. Naturally, Team Rocket have also witnesses Grumpig's herocis and have decided to make Grumpig their next acqusition.

Later on, Kanata and Ash’s group hang out at a nearby park bench with Grumpig, who May seems to get along with quite well. Kanata shows them the Berries she bought, and how she plans to make PokeBlocks out of them for Grumpig before the Contest. Brock is certainly impressed to see such a pro-Coordinator, with PokeBlocks and all. Max is wondering how many Ribbons she’s got, but then May almost scolds him to remind him that she’s there too. Good thing that on the subject of Ribbons, Kanata is interested in how many May has. As she takes out her two Ribbons, she’s greatly impressed, as she only has one. Taking it out, May really seems to like it. Suddenly, as Kanata mentions that she’s eager to win the Lilycove Ribbon, an argument breaks out. Not that its really a big deal, as Ash loves rivalry, and Max likes to see his sister standing up for herself. Meanwhile, Brock is looking at the guidebook for a place to eat, and as soon as Kanata notices, she swipes it from his hand. Before he can take it back, she says most of the places in that book are old, and she has a perfect idea for restaurant, and possibly it could help them. May’s ready to go, but Max makes some comment about her just interested in seeing her secret strategy and following her, but she slaps him.

As they follow Kanata, they find themselves at what seems to be a big PokeBlock shop, based on the poster. Kanata says that this is actually her house, and her mother runs a PokeBlock shop there as well. As they go in, they find themselves face to face with shelves stacked with PokeBlocks. Kanata calls her mother down, introduces her new friends, asking to treat them to dinner. At the table, she serves them some fresh PokeBlock soup. At first, Ash is nervous after what happened with the Nomel Berry, but Kanata reminds him that some are good for people to eat, and PokeBlocks won’t do any harm, except maybe a few. But her mother knows what she’s talking about when it comes to PokeBlocks anyway. After everyone else tastes it and seems to enjoy it, he tries it too, and likes it. After the meal, Kanata has offered to teach May and the others how to make PokeBlocks. Everyone seems to be all excited and ready to give it a shot, except Ash, who just remembered something. Ever since battling Winona back at Fortree Gym, he had been meaning to find an opportunity to train with his Swellow and teach it the technique Aerial Ace. While May is making PokeBlocks and training, now would be a perfect opportunity for him to do that. Time for Ash to hit the fields!

In the other room, May watches as a couple trainers drop their berries in the blender, push a button, and wait for a few seconds. Kanata’s Mom explains how PokeBlocks are made by blending Berries, and the type of PokeBlock is based on the type of Berry(ies) blended. Brock decides to stay and watch the PokeBlocks being made while Max decides to go check on Ash.

Meanwhile, Ash has Swellow fly up in the air and soon after, has it dive down towards the stick hanging from the tree that Ash set as a target for his Aerial Ace. As it dives, it loses control and lands on the ground headfirst with a thud. Just then, Max comes by, worried about Swellow, and how Ash seems to have no luck. Swellow looks tired, so Ash and Max decide to call it a day and head back, just when an old man appears, chuckling at them. Ash asks who he is, and as he introduces himself as Jinbii the Elder Move Tutor, and he saw Ash try and teach Swellow Aerial Ace. Just then, Ash and Max get down on their knees (Swellow gets on its talons), as Ash begs to help teach his Swellow Aerial Ace, as he has been interested ever since the Fortree Gym. Jinbii gladly accepts, but it will take a lot of work and practice.

Jinbii takes Ash and Max to his training field, where he will demonstrate it with his Pidgeotto, who happens to be his best candidate for Aerial Ace. The field seems to have a few targets, as well as a low beam. Ash and Max watch as Jinbii sends Pidgeotto up into the air, commanding an Aerial Ace attack. As it picks up speed, it moves toward the ground, as Jinbii explains that he noticed Swellow’s main problem was that it failed to angle before it hit the ground. Ash watches as it straightens out with top speed, flying under the bar successfully without hitting the ground. Somehow, Swellow is going to have to learn to do the same. As Pidgeotto passes under the bar flying near the ground, it slowly starts to speed up and rise again, just like an airplane taking off on the runway. Soon after it’s several feet up in the air, it reaches one of the targets, successfully breaking it.

After adjusting the bar to a perfect height for a beginner like Swellow, Ash lets out Swellow to try Aerial Ace. Seeing as the bar is pretty high, Swellow easily passes under and hits a target. Of course, that was way too high for a proper Aerial Ace, just a practice. However, slowly, they move the bar lower and lower each time, Swellow succeeding to Aerial Ace limbo under it every time. Eventually it reaches two feet, which is the proper Aerial Ace distance from the ground. As Swellow tries this one, it loses control and lands with a thud. Looks like Swellow needs a bit more practice.

As May chops up her Berries, she dumps them in a blender and pushes a button. Kanata’s mother explains how each button may have a different effect, and the number field signifies the PokeBlock level. After it finishes, it stops at level 27, and out come some Liteblue PokeBlocks! Kanata then congratulates May, taking a taste; it tastes alright to her, but funny. May takes a taste, and makes a disgusted face. Kanata laughs and says those are only for Pokemon, and then takes out a book all on PokeBlocks which is how she remembers this stuff. May then is worried that possibly she should have let her see that before blending.

Outside, May gives her four Pokemon a dose of her homemade PokeBlocks (Beautifly gets it as PokeBlock juice). Unfortunately for her, they all seem to not be fond of it, except Beautifly maybe a little. May sighs in disappointment, but Kanata says that this doesn't nescessarily mean she’ll have no hope for the Contest. Heck, she sometimes feeds her Grumpig PokeBlocks it disliked, but they still helped. Their taste in PokeBlocks doesn’t necessarily represent the goodness of the effect. Some Pokemon don’t like Bitter PokeBlocks, but sometimes that’s the only way to raise their intelligence. Kanata doesn’t always feed her Grumpig PokeBlocks it likes, but they still make a great Coordination team. After all, her Grumpig is used to occasionally eating ones it dislikes. With that, they’ll manage to win enough Ribbons to participate in the Grand Festival. May hesitantly wishes her luck, but rivals are rivals, and she intends to win this one. May then passes on the message to her Pokemon that although the PokeBlocks may not be their favorite, they should eat them, because it will help when one may enter the Contest tomorrow. Kanata wishes May luck, getting ready to go home.

Before Kanata takes a step, suddenly a huge claw from nowhere grabs Grumpig! While Grumpig tries to squirm free, May has Combusken jump up and use Sky Uppercut on the balloon, knocking Team Rocket down and freeing Grumpig. To save Grumpig from suffering an injury, Bulbasaur grabs it with Vine Whip, placing it safely on the ground. Finally, Beautifly uses Silver Wind to blast Team Rocket off yet again. Kanata thanks them, and notes that she was most impressed with Combusken’s Sky Uppercut. This gives May a bright idea. Because Skitty and Beautifly have already gotten a chance to be winners, and Bulbasaur needs some more time after what happened at Ruibosu, she’s going to use Combusken. After all, it was her first Pokemon; it’s pretty strong now.

Team Rocket land in a dumpster and as they scramble out, it tips over. Amid the garbage is a notice regarding tomorrow's Pokemon Contest. Jessie asks to borrow James' Chimecho and she flatters him by saying how impressed she was with the way he handled her Dustox in the PokeRing. The day of the Contest has come, and while Vivian makes her announcements and introduces the three judges, Ash and co wait for May, but Ash is still eager to train with Swellow a bit more. After all, there is a screen outside, so he and Swellow can watch her from there while they train. Brock and Max don’t seem to mind, so he gets up and heads outside. James prays that Jessie will handle Chimecho well. May is in the waiting room, shooting the breeze with Kanata as they patiently wait for their turn. Jessie, in the corner, introduces herself to Chimecho. Being who she is, she’s rather harsh on it, as it cowers in fear.

In the showcase rounds, May is the first up. Ash and Swellow pause their training and pay attention. As she lets Combusken out to the stage, Vivian introduces it, as she starts off with a Fire Spin. As Combusken lets out the Fire Spin, Vivian is about to comment about it, but it seems to spread through the whole stage, scaring even her! As the attack seems to engulf the entire auditorium, the fate of the contest seems to be up in the air.

= Synopsis =

Thanks to [[Zak]] for the synopsis.

Ash and company finally reach Lilycove City. They'd originally intended to make a stop here because it's on the route to the gym in Mossdeep City. Since there's a nice view of the sea, they decide to walk. Ash and Pikachu are feeling too tired to walk, though, but then they find a bench to sit on. Everyone is getting hungry and May has a pamphlet describing all the restaurants in Lilycove City. Then a poster on a nearby wall catches her eye: the town is holding a local Pokémon Contest tomorrow. May decides to enter and the gang searches for a place for May to train.

As they continue walking, Pikachu's expression changes suddenly; it becomes very excited and runs off. Ash and company chase the little Pokémon and they arrive at a berry stand that appears to have every known berry for sale (with the exception of the super-rare ones). Before they can buy any berries, they all notice a girl with a Grumpig nearby and she seems very frustrated. She is trying to haggle with the man at the berry stand. A man approaches them and offers free samples. He offers Pikachu some slices of Nomel, which Pikachu happily gobbles up. Ash, hungry as usual, grabs a Nomel berry and eats it. He nearly faints from the sour berry taste. The man explains that Nomel Berries are much better for Pokémon and then he offers Ash some Mago Berries. They taste much sweeter.

Suddenly, Ash notices the young girl with a Grumpig walking by, carrying her heavy grocery bag. She is about to trip and fall, which she does, and her grocies spill out. Grumpig uses a psychic attack and lifts the bag and all the berries off the ground, puts them back into the bag, and then lays the bag carefully on the ground. Everyone who's witnessed Grumpig's actions claps and the girl thanks them. She also wishes Grumpig the best of luck in the upcoming Contest. May introduces herself to the girl, who says that her name is Kanata, the Pokémon Coordinator. Ash does a Pokédex data check on Grumpig. Brock observes that her Grumpig is very well trained. Naturally, Team Rocket have also witnesses Grumpig's herocis and have decided to make Grumpig their next acqusition.

Later on, Kanata and Ash’s group hang out at a nearby park bench with Grumpig, who May seems to get along with quite well. Kanata shows them the Berries she bought, and how she plans to make PokeBlocks out of them for Grumpig before the Contest. Brock is certainly impressed to see such a pro-Coordinator, with PokeBlocks and all. Max is wondering how many Ribbons she’s got, but then May almost scolds him to remind him that she’s there too. Good thing that on the subject of Ribbons, Kanata is interested in how many May has. As she takes out her two Ribbons, she’s greatly impressed, as she only has one. Taking it out, May really seems to like it. Suddenly, as Kanata mentions that she’s eager to win the Lilycove Ribbon, an argument breaks out. Not that its really a big deal, as Ash loves rivalry, and Max likes to see his sister standing up for herself. Meanwhile, Brock is looking at the guidebook for a place to eat, and as soon as Kanata notices, she swipes it from his hand. Before he can take it back, she says most of the places in that book are old, and she has a perfect idea for restaurant, and possibly it could help them. May’s ready to go, but Max makes some comment about her just interested in seeing her secret strategy and following her, but she slaps him.

As they follow Kanata, they find themselves at what seems to be a big PokeBlock shop, based on the poster. Kanata says that this is actually her house, and her mother runs a PokeBlock shop there as well. As they go in, they find themselves face to face with shelves stacked with PokeBlocks. Kanata calls her mother down, introduces her new friends, asking to treat them to dinner. At the table, she serves them some fresh PokeBlock soup.

= Synopsis =

Thanks to [[Archaic]] for the synopsis.

This episode is the second part of the competition between May and Kanata. It appears as though Combusken was showing off, as it jumps in front of May, knocks its flame wheel into a flame rain, and then jumps up holding a huge ball fo flame, which it then smacks with a Sky Upper, bringing another fire rain down. The crowd goes wild. The judges give May scores of 8.5, 8.0, and 7.1, for a cumulative score of 23.6 The judges seem to love the look, but at least one of them realized that it was more luck than planning. Swellow, meanwhile, is continuing to train. It seems to be having trouble concentrating, though, between the co-ordinators and the huge screen showing them compete.

Grumpig apparently likes to wag its tail and it shows off with some psychic juggling of Pokéblocks. The audience is really involved with Grumpig's performance and it finshes by eating all of the Pokéblocks. The judges award Grumpig a cumulative 27.7 score, which will be hard to beat. Swellow has finally mastered the limbo bar outside but then smacks into a tree because it wasn't paying attention to its direction.

Next in the contest are Jessie and Chimecho. The two basically hypnotize the audience with happy thoughts, but their finish is clouded by Jessie trying to make Chimecho's voice more dynamic but it sounds awful. Pikachu and Swellow hear this outside. However, the judges award Jessie and Chimecho a perfect score of 30. After a random shuffling of contestants, May and Jessie are facing each other in the semifinals. Now, it's Combusken versus Chimecho. Chimecho puts up a good fight, but May isn't going to lose easily. One Peck Attack later, and Chimecho backs off. Then a Fire Spin attack is ordered, followed by a Double Edge attack. Combusken counters with another Sky Upper, and this completely KO's Jessie and Chimecho. Outside, Ash and Swellow are training very hard, and Swellow finally learns Aerial Ace. However, on one attempt Swellow misses the target but hits Team Rocket, who are heading home after Jessie's defeat in the contest.

It comes down to May versus Kanata in the finals. An Iron Tail attack is used, but Combusken catches it in its claws. A fire counterattack is foiled by a psychic attack, sending it back as a fire dragon. Combusken smashes that with Sky Upper, but then gets caught in a psychokinesis trap and is rendered helpless. Grumpig appears to be the default winner, as Combusken can't move but then Combusken fires off a Fire Blast at the room, causing a Fire Rain, which damages Grumpig. They fall together as the psychic attack fails and Combusken saves them both by using flames to halt their descent. May is the winner! Kanata promises that she'll be even stronger the next time they meet.

The audience is really involved with Grumpig's performance and it finshes by eating all of the Pokéblocks. The judges award Grumpig a cumulative 27.7 score, which will be hard to beat. Swellow has finally mastered the limbo bar outside but then smacks into a tree because it wasn't paying attention to its direction.

Next in the contest are Jessie and Chimecho. The two basically hypnotize the audience with happy thoughts, but their finish is clouded by Jessie trying to make Chimecho's voice more dynamic but it sounds awful. Pikachu and Swellow hear this outside. However, the judges award Jessie and Chimecho a perfect score of 30. After a random shuffling of contestants, May and Jessie are facing each other in the semifinals. Now, it's Combusken versus Chimecho. Chimecho puts up a good fight, but May isn't going to lose easily. One Peck Attack later, and Chimecho backs off. Then a Fire Spin attack is ordered, followed by a Double Edge attack. Combusken counters with another Sky Upper, and this completely KO's Jessie and Chimecho. Outside, Ash and Swellow are training very hard, and Swellow finally learns Aerial Ace. However, on one attempt Swellow misses the target but hits Team Rocket, who are heading home after Jessie's defeat in the contest.

It comes down to May versus Kanata in the finals. An Iron Tail attack is used, but Combusken catches it in its claws. A fire counterattack is foiled by a psychic attack, sending it back as a fire dragon. Combusken smashes that with Sky Upper, but then gets caught in a psychokinesis trap and is rendered helpless. Grumpig appears to be the default winner, as Combusken can't move but then Combusken fires off a Fire Blast at the room, causing a Fire Rain, which damages Grumpig. They fall together as the psychic attack fails and Combusken saves them both by using flames to halt their descent. May is the winner! Kanata promises that she'll be even stronger the next time they meet.

(Japanese: '''あの三匹登場！審判学校の島！''' ) is episode 92 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on September 2, 2004.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =

Thanks to [[Archaic]] for the synopsis.

The episode opens with Ash and company running to catch a boat. Unfortunately, they manage to get aboard the wrong boat, and eventually reach land, where they see Ivysaur, Charmeleon, and Wartortle. May can't identify the Pokémon properly, and Max seems to be having problems with Wartortle. Ash then explains that in his home region of Kanto, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle are the starter Pokémon. Ash and company are then enlisted to help teach some starting trainers. Team Rocket has managed to follow them using their Magikarp submarine. Meowth again has a strange dream or vision about how kind the boss would be to them if they succeed in this mission.

The instruction given to the new trainers has apparently taken the form of a battle between Ash and Brock. Ash orders Swellow to do an Aerial Ace attack, which is an impressive display. However, Brock has a few tricks up his sleeve, and this apparently involves his Pokémon playing dead. The end result is that Ash wins the battle. Brock, realizing that his Pokémon should have been flagged out, does this to test Jimmy's refereeing skills. The trainer they're instructing, named Jimmy, seems to completely underestimate the Pokémon being used, and also appears to be rather indecisive. His teacher scolds him quite forcefully at one point. She went on to say that though he's still studying and will make mistakes sometimes, he can't be so indecisive about his calls. Whether right or wrong, a referee must appear confident.

However, Jimmy does have three advanced Pokémon and he attracts the attention of the group while he's outside after nightfall, apparently brooding. A discussion ensues and, in the distance, a rather obvious Team Rocket mecha drives up on the beach. Jimmy tells the group that he traded a gold Magikarp for his Charmeleon. He has a Cascade Badge, and Ash tells him that he must be a pretty good trainer. Jimmy then explains that this was given to him by Daisy for cleaning the Gym and pool; the Gym Leader, Misty, was away when he visited Cerulean City. Jimmy's had a long streak of bad luck. He states that the only reason he's on this island is because the dinghy he was sleeping in drifted away from shore and landed here.

The mecha that Team Rocket are using is interesting; it seems to be able to hold the captured Pokémon better than previous mechas. They swoop in and capture Jimmy's Pokémon (however, they didn't try for Pikachu), and he runs after them. Somehow, he gets atop the mecha and tries to free his Pokémon with a sharp rock. But he is easily knocked off the mecha.

Jimmy is treated to a moralizing, somewhat preachy speech from his teacher before trying again to free his Pokémon from the mecha. The Pokémon are trying to free themselves from their Pokéballs. Wartortle evolves into Blastoise in anger and is able to break free from the small containment chamber. Team Rocket once again are blasted off.

Jimmy then decides to return to Minamon. Ash and company hire a boat and get back on course to their next city of choice (and gym badge, in Ash's case).

May can't identify the Pokémon properly, and Max seems to be having problems with Wartortle. Ash then explains that in his home region of Kanto, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle are the starter Pokémon. Ash and company are then enlisted to help teach some starting trainers.

Team Rocket has managed to follow them using their Magikarp submarine. Meowth again has a strange dream or vision about how kind the boss would be to them if they succeed in this mission.

The instruction given to the new trainers has apparently taken the form of a battle between Ash and Brock. Ash orders Swellow to do an Aerial Ace attack, which is an impressive display. However, Brock has a few tricks up his sleeve, and this apparently involves his Pokémon playing dead. The trainer they're instructing, named Jimmy, seems to completely underestimate the Pokémon being used, and also appears to be rather indecisive. His teacher scolds him quite forcefully at one point.

However, Jimmy does have three advanced Pokémon and he attracts the attention of the group while he's outside after nightfall, apparently brooding. A discussion ensues and, in the distance, a rather obvious Team Rocket mecha drives up on the beach. Jimmy tells the group that he traded a gold Magikarp for his Charmeleon. He has a Cascade Badge, and explains that this was given to him by Sakura for cleaning the Gym and pool although he did lose to Misty in battle. Jimmy's had a long streak of bad luck. He states that the only reason he's on this island is because the dinghy he was sleeping in drifted away from shore and landed here.

The mecha that Team Rocket are using is interesting; it seems to be able to hold the captured Pokémon better than previous mechas. They swoop in and capture Jimmy's Pokémon (however, they didn't try for Pikachu), and he runs after them. Somehow, he gets atop the mecha and tries to free his Pokémon with a sharp rock. But he is easily knocked off the mecha.

Jimmy is treated to a moralizing, somewhat preachy speech from his teacher before trying again to free his Pokémon from the mecha. The Pokémon are trying to free themselves from their Pokéballs. Wartortle evolves into Blastoise in anger and is able to break free from the small containment chamber. Team Rocket once again are blasted off.

Jimmy then decides to return to Minamon. Ash and company hire a boat and get back on course to their next city of choice (and gym badge, in Ash's case).

= Synopsis =

Thanks to [[Geodude]] for the synopsis.

Ash and company are sailing across the ocean on a boat, bound for Mossdeep City. For some reason, Torkoal is out of its Pokeball. Torkoal and the others watch the waves from the bow of the ship. Pikachu and Torkoal are the first to notice something out on the ocean, which turns out to be a Spoink floating on a log, and is apparently the same Spoink they'd met before. Suddently a wave knocks Spoink from the log, and Ash calls for the boat's pilot to stop. They pull Spoink on board in a life preserver. It hops around happily due to the rescue, but trips over the life preserver, and its pearl goes flying out into the water. Naturally, Spoink becomes hysterical, and everyone is amazed that Spoink lost its pearl again.

Spoink is briefly sad, but notices a round red flotation device (possibly used for a net) on the boat, and psychically picks it up and puts it on its head. Ash grabs the device away, saying that it doesn't belong to Spoink, and Torkoal cries at Spoink's situation. Torkoal then impulsively jumps into the water, intending to look for Spoink's pearl. The group gets worried that the Fire-type will be seriously hurt from being underwater so long, and Ash promptly dives in after it.

Later, the group surrounds an exhausted Torkoal, who cries again at its failure. Brock points out that Torkoal did have a good idea though, so Brock and Ash send out Mudkip and Corphish to try to find Spoink's pearl. Max reminds Brock that Lombre should be able to help too, so Brock sends it out, but Lombre seems to be more interested in practicing its backstroke. Meanwhile, Corphish and Mudkip look around underwater but find no sign of the pearl, and report their failure back to the group.

During a quick rest stop at an island, the group stares out to sea, wondering what they can do to help Spoink. A young boy and his Azurill run by, and Spoink tries putting Azurill on its head. The boy cries, and Ash and Brock snatch Azurill away, scolding Spoink. Spoink then tries many other things: a Swablu, a Castform, even a large Wailmer, but at the end is still disappointed at its pearl-less head. A scientist then approaches the group. He introduces himself and exaplains that the pearls grown inside a Clamperl are the same kind of pearl that Spoink wear. He introduces himself as Aysaki and takes them to his lab/museum, in a building with a giant half-shell over its roof that looks like a Clamperl's. Inside, they look over a pool with large rock formations in the middle. A group of Clamperl are on the rocks. May comments on how cute they are, and scans them with her Pokedex. Aysaki then explains some more about the connection between Spoink and Clamperl. Spoink then gets excited over a blue pearl in a display case. The group admire it, and Aysaki talks about it while Spoink stares at the pearl sadly.

Back on shore, the group see a young girl and her Shroomish running along the beach. Spoink puts Shroomish on its head psychically, and May snatches it away, while Ash and Brock scold Spoink again. May returns Shroomish to its trainer with apologies, but the two promptly run away. Meanwhile, Team Rocket sneak in to the museum, intending to steal the valuable blue pearl from earlier. Meowth has the same fantasy from the last Spoink episode, about Giovanni wearing the giant pearl on a ring, or maybe wearing it on a crown. James removes the display case, but before Jessie can grab the pearl, Spoink hops by and psychically puts it on its head, hopping all the way out the window.

Back at the beach, the group are calling out for Spoink when they hear a burglar alarm coming from the museum, and run over to check it out. Apparently afraid of being blamed for something they didn't (yet) do, Jessie and James disguise themselves as janitors with Meowth hiding in their bucket. They tell the group that they'd been minding their own business when a Spoink hopped by and used its Psychic to take the pearl, then hopped right out the window before they could do anything. The group decide to find Spoink and take back the pearl. Outside, Ash and May send out Swellow and Beautifly to go search from the air while the humans split up and search from the ground. Looking on, Team Rocket decide to take Spoink AND the blue pearl to give to the Boss, and Meowth has a vision of the Boss dressed as a king, wearing Spoink and the pearl as a crown.

Spoink happily hops along the beach with its new pearl when it encounters the two kids from earlier. They hold their Pokemon away from Spoink, afraid of what happened before, but then they realize it has a pearl now. But Spoink slips again, and its blue pearl flies off. It ricochets among the rocks, lands inside a sleeping Clamperl, and knocks Clamperl's pink pearl out. The pink pearl somehow ricochets its way back to Spoink and lands right on its head. Spoink is super happy and bounds off, and the kids wonder why it had that blue pearl in the first place.

Beautifly reports back to the group that it had found Spoink, and leads them to it. They notice with surprise that Spoink is wearing a pink pearl again. The two kids with the Azurill and Shroomish approach, and explain what they saw. They point the way towards the spot on the beach where it happened, and the group thanks them.

Unbeknownst to them, Team Rocket had heard the whole thing while pearched atop a palm tree, and now decide to get the Clamperl. Spoink and the others find the Clamperl, but it now has its shell closed. Spoink approaches, and Clamperl opens its shell to reveal that it does indeed have the blue pearl. May asks if they could have the pearl back, but Clamperl refuses. Spoink then takes the pink pearl off its head and offers Clamperl a trade, to which it agrees, and May thanks it. But before they could make the switch, TR makes their entrance by dropping a smoke bomb, and say their motto.

Jessie sends out Seviper, and Ash counters with Torkoal. Seviper lunges in for a Bite, too quickly for a counterattack, so Ash tells Torkoal to use Iron Defense. Seviper ends up merely hitting its head off Torkoal's hard shell. Ash then orders a Flamethrower, which Seviper dodges. Excited, since the battle is going her way for once, Jessie orders a Haze. Everyone runs around in confusion, but TR manage to meet up, with James carrying a sack containing Clamperl, and they escape in their balloon. When the smoke clears, the group realizes that Spoink (and its pink pearl) are still there, but Clamperl is missing.

Meanwhile, TR has landed some distance away, and are now trying to get Clamperl to open up to give them the pearl. Jessie sweetly asks it to open up, but it closes again before she can grab the pearl. She tries again to get it to open, but fails. James tries to physically pry the shell open, but that doesn't work either. They try to sweet-talk it again, but fail. Meowth sadly has a vision of their giving the closed Clamperl to the Boss, with him struggling to get it open, then stubbing his toe on it. Worried, Meowth paces, then gets the idea to try tickling it. The trio does so, and Clamperl partally opens up. Meowth taunts it with its tail to get it to open further, but that turns out to be a dumb idea, as Clamperl clamps down on its tail. Meowth screams in pain while James, oblivious, calmly checks his Pokemon cards for info on Clamperl. Clamperl then finally opens it shell, and Meowth's momentum sends it flying into a tree. The shell closes again before Jessie can grab the pearl. James then thinks that maybe Chimecho can get Clamperl in a better mood, so he sends it out, but Chimecho's attempt fails as well. Jessie tries again, but this time she gets splashed into a tree by Clamperl's Water Gun. As Jessie tries to physically open the shell like James did, Swellow spots them from above, and reports back to Ash and the others.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket are now using sticks as levers to try to force the shell open. That's when Ash & co find them. Spoink uses Psychic to lift TR away from Clamperl and throw them at their balloon. The group checks on Clamperl, as Jessie and James send out Dustox and Cacnea. Ash counters with Grovyle. Jessie orders a Tackle, and Grovyle counters with Quick Attack. Cacnea attacks Clamperl with Pin Missile, but Spoink jumps in front of it and uses Psychic to stop the pins. Grovyle hits Dustox with Bullet Seed, while Spoink fires a Psybeam at Cacnea. Clamperl slowly opens up as it watches its friends defend it. Dustox aims a Poison Sting at Grovyle, who dodges with a series of backflips and then uses Leaf Blade, scoring a direct hit on Dustox. James orders a Needle Arm and Cacnea rushes forward, but Spoink sends it back with another Psybeam. Finally, a Water Gun from Clamperl blasts off the Rockets.

Spoink and Clamperl are now free to carry out their previously arranged trade, and Spoink uses Psychic to switch pearls, giving the blue one to Aysaki. He thanks Clamperl, but Spoink is saddened because it's without a pearl once again. Clamperl then offers to give Spoink the pink pearl as its thanks, and Spoink happily takes it. Now everyone is happy and Spoink has a proper pearl again.

= Synopsis =

Thanks to [[Altomare Latios]] for the synopsis.

Mahogany City is just another step away as Ash and the gang gaze upon it from a hill. Just before they go, a familiar voice is heard and the gang soon see an Arcanine. Ash recognizes Gary, and vice versa. Gary stops and Ash catches up, both of them catching up with each other's lives. Ash challenges Gary to a match but Gary politely declines, saying he's training for something else in mind. He takes off and Ash tries to follow but as soon as they see the bottom of the hill they're standing on, they see a bunch of people doing the same thing as Gary.

They later have lunch at a diner, and Ash is still wondering what Gary is doing. Ash wants to compete against Gary again, but doesn't know anything about Gary's new training regimen. An old man seated next to him mentions the Pokemon Ride Race. Ash is definitely interested and asks for more information. The man says his name is Tamazo and he's the one who's a part of the whole thing. He explains that trainers ride with their Pokemon to his house, get a egg as a relay and go back. It's one big event that happens here. Since Ash is pretty late for the contest, he says he can manage registration. Tamazo gives them a ride to his farm, explaining more about the race along the way.

Once at Tamazo's farm, his wife greets them, asking about Ash and the others. After the introductions, Tamazo's wife explains that they run a Pokemon Breeding center. Primarily, they do egg harvesting and general Pokemon care. They have a pretty impressive collection of eggs on their shevles. Afterwards, Tamazo gives Ash his equipment: A leash and a skateboard. Ash rides around on the skateboard for a while, Tamazo asking if this is his first time. Ash says he used to ride a wooden board down hills back in Pallet. He goes down another hill but ends up hitting a rock; however, something stops him from going down further after impact. Ash looks up and sees it's Gary and his Arcanine. Gary wonders what Ash is doing and sees the skateboard, Gary getting the idea. Now Gary gets all competitive.

Back at the farm, Ash wonders which Pokemon to use, since after all he has to have the one. He knows Pikachu can't do it, neither can Cyndaquil or Totodile. Ash sends out Bayleef, which should do the job just fine. Ash starts off training Bayleef for a while, starting off with directions, but as soon as he told Bayleef to change on direction, he slid off. Meowth is later spying on him, telling Jesse and James that he's up to something again. Noticing that they're slacking off, he wakes them up and tells them the info.

After a while, Tamazo is ahead yelling towards Ash. He tells him that the egg he's giving him is the relay baton. And so they head off after a while.

The next day is the race, all the contestants line up at the starting point as the announcer explains everything. At the start of the race, every is off to a good start but a racer with a Scyther causes a big mess up at the beggining, causing a lot of the racers to fall back. Ash, Gary and a few others make it out however. Meanwhile, Team Rocket float in a balloon above, planing out their scheme. They soon fire their net-cannon and capture Gary's Arcanine! Ash stops to see if Gary is alright and then they look up to Team Rocket, who soon flies away.

Ash soon charges after them, telling Bayleef to flail him towards a slope. As Ash hits the slope, he jumps towards the balloon, the skateboard causing it to poke a hole, however Ash is still stuck on it, and he flies with them. Later at the the starting point where all the bleachers are, the monitor is at Tamazo's farm. Noticing a surprised expression from Tamazo, the camera turns and ends up getting knocked out by Team Rocket's balloon!

Tamazo wonders what's going on, and he sees Ash come out of the balloon. Ash wonders if Arcanine is okay and he is, but Team Rocket soon find a catch of eggs! Jesse sends out Arbok to defend them, but with no Pokemon on him, Ash can't do anything, except when Bayleef makes her way. Ash tells Bayleef to use Razor Leaf but is blocked by a Poison Pin attack and that hits Bayleef. Arbok is about to make another attack when Gary comes in to tell Arcanine to bash it out of the way. Team Rocket soon make their way out with the eggs but Bayleef gets them back with a Vine Whip. Then Arcanine hits the whole group with a Master Attack, sending them off.

After that, Tamazo gives Gary and Ash the eggs and both of them race off towards the finish. Arcanine is pretty good at keeping a pace or two higher than Bayleef. Ash tries to find another way he can manage and finds a slope. Gary wonders where Ash is but soon he sees him, coming up from above! The competition seems close as both try to race for the goal. Aranine jumps towards it giving him a good speed but then Bayleef uses Vine Whip on herself to give her a added boost. At the finish line, all it comes to is Bayleef winning by a nose. Ash wins the Pokemon Ride Race!

Afterwards, Gary sets off on his own journey. Tamazo later comes by to present Ash with an egg. Misty wonders what's inside, but Tamazo's wife says they'll just have to wait and see. Soon the gang sets off towards Mahogany City.

= Synopsis =

Thanks to [[Altomare Latios]] for the synopsis.

Mahogany City is just another step away as Ash and the gang gaze upon it from a hill. Just before they go, a familiar voice is heard and the gang soon see an Arcanine. Ash recognizes Gary, and vice versa. Gary stops and Ash catches up, both of them catching up with each other's lives. Ash challenges Gary to a match but Gary politely declines, saying he's training for something else in mind. He takes off and Ash tries to follow but as soon as they see the bottom of the hill they're standing on, they see a bunch of people doing the same thing as Gary.

They later have lunch at a diner, and Ash is still wondering what Gary is doing. Ash wants to compete against Gary again, but doesn't know anything about Gary's new training regimen. An old man seated next to him mentions the Pokemon Ride Race. Ash is definitely interested and asks for more information. The man says his name is Tamazo and he's the one who's a part of the whole thing. He explains that trainers ride with their Pokemon to his house, get a egg as a relay and go back. It's one big event that happens here. Since Ash is pretty late for the contest, he says he can manage registration. Tamazo gives them a ride to his farm, explaining more about the race along the way.

'''Sky High Gym Battle!''' (Japanese: '''ヒワマキジム！大空の戦い!!''' ) is episode 85 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 15, 2004.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =

Thanks to [[Zhen Lin]] for the synopsis.

The Fortree City Gym Leader and Ash take their places on an elevated balcony above the battlefield. Before the battle commences, Winona says a type of prayer, asking for strength. It's a 3-on-3 battle and Winona starts off with Altaria, while Ash chooses Grovyle.

May, who is on the sidelines with Brock and Max, checks Altaria's data on the Pokédex. Altaria begins the battle with a Peck attack, but Grovyle counters with Bullet Seed and then jumps out of the way. Winona then commands Altaria to do another move, but Ash gets Grovyle to dodge it by climbing up a totem pole and doing a backflip.

Team Rocket, meanwhile, are in some kind of tunnel, possibly under the battlefield itself. James, however, doesn't understand why they're trying to get under the battlefield. Meowth attempts to explain and pulls out a pair of dowsing rods. Jessie and James are confused by the rods, and fantasize about disco dancing with them, but Meowth tells them the rods are used to search for water. Jessie is skeptical but the rods turn and bend and point directly to...another tunnel. Convinced of the rods' usefulness, Jessie and James run off with them down the tunnel.

Meanwhile, Winona tells Altaria to use another attack but Grovyle doesn't seem too affected by it. Winona again commands Altaria to use the same attack, but Ash gets Grovyle to jump out of the way. Winona is concerned (and a little impressed) with Grovyle's speed. Grovyle then attacks with Bullet Seed again and hits Altaria on the back, with no ill effects. Altaria flies away.

Altaria tries the same move a third time but Grovyle again jumps out of the way and into the air, above Altaria. Ash sees his chance and orders Grovyle to use Leaf Blade. Altaria falls to the ground under the weight of Grovyle's attack. Grovyle is victorious!

Winona recalls Altaria and sends out Pelipper. Ash recalls Grovyle and uses Pikachu. On the sidelines, Max points out that Pelipper is a hybrid Water/Flying type. Brock adds that Pelipper has a 4x weakness against Electric moves, so this should be easy for Ash. Pikachu starts its match against Pelipper by using Thunderbolt. Pelipper counters with Steel Wing and accidentally touches the ground. Pelipper is grounded, and electricity doesn't affect it now.

The Thunderbolt attack discharges into the underground tunnels, including the one Jessie and James are in. The metal rod points up at the spot where Pelipper is grounded. Team Rocket is blasted off again and they land on the battlefield. They plot to catch Pikachu while it's distracted by the battle.

They state their modified motto and run for Pikachu. The dowsing rods they're holding again become lightning rods when Pikachu attacks. Jessie seems happy about that property of the rods. Whitney orders Pelipper to use what appears to be Headbutt. Brock understands; the Steel Wing attack is grounding Pelipper, nullifying Pikachu's electrical attacks. Ash changes his strategy and orders Pikachu to use Quick Attack.

Pelipper is still grounded and Winona commands it to use Hydro Pump. The force of the attack causes Pelipper to de-ground itself and Ash sees a chance to use a Thunder attack on Pelipper. Both Pokémon are knocked out.

Winona makes a speech in between battles, telling Ash and the others of her love for the sky. Winona then chooses Swellow as her final Pokémon, while Ash chooses Grovyle again. Ash commands Grovyle to use Leaf Blade. But Swellow is seemingly unscathed. Swellow is then ordered to use Aerial Ace. Ash uses the jump-and-Leaf-Blade combo again as a countermove, but Swellow dodges it. Grovyle is hit and is pinned down from the sky. The match is a tie.

Ash then chooses his Swellow to battle. This battle, Swellow vs Swellow, takes the two Pokémon higher into the sky. Brock thinks that this is a bad idea. Winona orders an attack and Ash's Swellow is hit. It's apparent that when using Wing Attack, Swellow cannot actively stay in the air (i.e., hovering and unable to control movement). Winona orders her Swellow to repeatedly Peck Ash's Swellow. Then she orders a Hyper Beam attack, which Ash's Swellow dodges. However, she orders this attack a second time and it's a direct hit!

Ash counters with Quick Attack but Winona's Swellow is faster and dodges this attack, countering with Peck. The battle becomes an aerial chase between the two birds. Ash gets some inspiration when he sees the dust being stirred on the ground by Swellow's rapidly changing direction in midair close to the ground. Winona orders another Hyper Beam. Ash orders Swellow to rush towards the ground. Winona orders Swellow to use Aerial Ace. Ash commands his Swellow to use Wing Attack on the ground. The dust cloud that develops obscures the view of Winona's Swellow and slows it down. Ash takes advantage of the bird's disorientation and orders his Swellow to use Wing Attack. Winona's Swellow is knocked out, and Ash wins his badge!

Max, Brock, and Haruka comment on Ash's strategy. Winona presents the Feather Badge to Ash against a beautiful sunset background.

'''Sky High Gym Battle!''' (Japanese: '''ヒワマキジム！大空の戦い!!''' ) is episode 85 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 15, 2004.

= Synopsis =

Thanks to [[Zhen Lin]] for the synopsis.

The Fortree City Gym Leader and Ash take their places on an elevated balcony above the battlefield. Before the battle commences, Winona says a type of prayer, asking for strength. It's a 3-on-3 battle and Winona starts off with Altaria, while Ash chooses Grovyle.

May, who is on the sidelines with Brock and Max, checks Altaria's data on the Pokédex. Altaria begins the battle with a Peck attack, but Grovyle counters with Bullet Seed and then jumps out of the way. Winona then commands Altaria to do another move, but Ash gets Grovyle to dodge it by climbing up a totem pole and doing a backflip.

Team Rocket, meanwhile, are in some kind of tunnel, possibly under the battlefield itself. James, however, doesn't understand why they're trying to get under the battlefield. Meowth attempts to explain and pulls out a pair of dowsing rods. Jessie and James are confused by the rods, and fantasize about disco dancing with them, but Meowth tells them the rods are used to search for water. Jessie is skeptical but the rods turn and bend and point directly to...another tunnel. Convinced of the rods' usefulness, Jessie and James run off with them down the tunnel.

Meanwhile, Winona tells Altaria to use another attack but Grovyle doesn't seem too affected by it. Winona again commands Altaria to use the same attack, but Ash gets Grovyle to jump out of the way. Winona is concerned (and a little impressed) with Grovyle's speed. Grovyle then attacks with Bullet Seed again and hits Altaria on the back, with no ill effects. Altaria flies away.

Altaria tries the same move a third time but Grovyle again jumps out of the way and into the air, above Altaria. Ash sees his chance and orders Grovyle to use Leaf Blade. Altaria falls to the ground under the weight of Grovyle's attack. Grovyle is victorious!

Winona recalls Altaria and sends out Pelipper. Ash recalls Grovyle and uses Pikachu. On the sidelines, Max points out that Pelipper is a hybrid Water/Flying type. Brock adds that Pelipper has a 4x weakness against Electric moves, so this should be easy for Ash. Pikachu starts its match against Pelipper by using Thunderbolt. Pelipper counters with Steel Wing and accidentally touches the ground. Pelipper is grounded, and electricity doesn't affect it now.

The Thunderbolt attack discharges into the underground tunnels, including the one Jessie and James are in. The metal rod points up at the spot where Pelipper is grounded. Team Rocket is blasted off again and they land on the battlefield. They plot to catch Pikachu while it's distracted by the battle.

They state their modified motto and run for Pikachu. The dowsing rods they're holding again become lightning rods when Pikachu attacks. Jessie seems happy about that property of the rods. Whitney orders Pelipper to use what appears to be Headbutt. Brock understands; the Steel Wing attack is grounding Pelipper, nullifying Pikachu's electrical attacks. Ash changes his strategy and orders Pikachu to use Quick Attack.

Pelipper is still grounded and Winona commands it to use Hydro Pump. The force of the attack causes Pelipper to de-ground itself and Ash sees a chance to use a Thunder attack on Pelipper. Both Pokémon are knocked out.

Winona makes a speech in between battles, telling Ash and the others of her love for the sky. Winona then chooses Swellow as her final Pokémon, while Ash chooses Grovyle again. Ash commands Grovyle to use Leaf Blade. But Swellow is seemingly unscathed. Swellow is then ordered to use Aerial Ace. Ash uses the jump-and-Leaf-Blade combo again as a countermove, but Swellow dodges it. Grovyle is hit and is pinned down from the sky. The match is a tie.

Ash then chooses his Swellow to battle. This battle, Swellow vs Swellow, takes the two Pokémon higher into the sky. Brock thinks that this is a bad idea. Winona orders an attack and Ash's Swellow is hit. It's apparent that when using Wing Attack, Swellow cannot actively stay in the air (i.e., hovering and unable to control movement). Winona orders her Swellow to repeatedly Peck Ash's Swellow. Then she orders a Hyper Beam attack, which Ash's Swellow dodges. However, she orders this attack a second time and it's a direct hit!

Ash counters with Quick Attack but Winona's Swellow is faster and dodges this attack, countering with Peck. The battle becomes an aerial chase between the two birds. Ash gets some inspiration when he sees the dust being stirred on the ground by Swellow's rapidly changing direction in midair close to the ground. Winona orders another Hyper Beam. Ash orders Swellow to rush towards the ground. Winona orders Swellow to use Aerial Ace. Ash commands his Swellow to use Wing Attack on the ground. The dust cloud that develops obscures the view of Winona's Swellow and slows it down. Ash takes advantage of the bird's disorientation and orders his Swellow to use Wing Attack. Winona's Swellow is knocked out, and Ash wins his badge!

Max, Brock, and Haruka comment on Ash's strategy. Winona presents the Feather Badge to Ash against a beautiful sunset background.

'''Unfair Weather Friends''' (Japanese: '''お天気研究所のポワルン！''' ''Powalen of the Weather Research Center'') is episode 83 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 1, 2004 and in USA on June 18, 2005.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =

Thanks to [[Archaic]] for the summary.

Ash and company are seen walking down a road. A sunny day turns to rain, then to thunder, and finally snow. The explanation? Castform, the Weather Pokémon. Castform begins to lead the group to safety when the weather turns sunny again. Castform's form changes with the weather.

They find a couple of researchers at an institute. Brock, as usual, goes into his pretty-girl-trance at the sight of the female scientist (who happens to have a Ditto), but something's wrong. Brock can't quite explain it, but he doesn't feel as gaga for this lady as he does for other ladies. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are snowed in, and appear to be enjoying themselves. Or at least Meowth is; Jessie and James blame the crazy weather patterns on Ash and company.

The researchers show Ash and the others their weather control machine. Team Rocket later find the machine and immediately make ill-fated plans to use it for nefarious ends. Team Aqua arrive on the scene soon afterwards, and in full force. Of course, they also want the machine. Team Rocket are clearly upset by the presence of Team Aqua and perform most of their motto before being clamped in restraints.

The researchers and Team Rocket are held captive together shortly. Oddly enough, the female scientist claims to have never heard of Team Rocket; perhaps this is because they're in Houen, and TR is Kanto-based. Jessie and James suck in their stomachs and the restraints loosen. Team Aqua begins powering up the weather control machine, but it appears as though they simply wanted data from the machine and not the machine itself. The data they're interested in relates to a local legendary Pokémon.

Ditto runs off with the Pass Card for the data. Ash and company, watching all the action from the outside, vow to protect the machine from Team Aqua and Team Rocket. The Pass Card is intercepted by Ash and the others. Everyone but Ash and Pikachu flees, and Pikachu knocks out the Team Aqua grunts with a couple of lightning bolts.
The plan is apparently to delete all the data from the main computer, which is now under guard by Team Aqua.

Ditto then copies Castform and lures the Aqua guards away. Ash links up with Ditto (disguised as Castform) and runs away. Team Aqua have apparently copied all the data to a disk and deleted it from the computer. While running out of the room, the Team Aqua guards run into Ash and Ditto (Castform). Ash is embarrassed that he never noticed a thing. After a quick fight inside, Ash and Ditto run outside to challenge the remaining TA members.

The weather control machine is brought out and a lightning bolt strikes Team Rocket instead of Ash and company. A demonstration of power, apparently. Fearing for the others, Milly (the female scientist) hands over the Pass Card. Unbeknownst to the TA members, the data doesn't exist! Then Milly jumps to the top of the machine. Everyone looks at her, surprised. And we learn that Milly isn't really a woman after all. He's really Bannai, the leader of Team Magma. This explains Brock's lack of a reaction to Bannai's disguised form earlier.

May gets involved in the battle, but her Combusken doesn't have enough power to battle Bannai's Ditto. He escapes with the data and, for a change, the bad guys win this round. The real Milly then arrives on the scene, all ready for her first day at the institute. Brock does his patented pretty-girl-trance. As it turns out, the data isn't completely lost. It's in hardcopy but it will take a long time to re-enter.

The episode closes with another scene of Team Rocket freezing in the snow.

= Synopsis =

Thanks to [[Archaic]] for the summary.

Ash and company are seen walking down a road. A sunny day turns to rain, then to thunder, and finally snow. The explanation? Castform, the Weather Pokémon. Castform begins to lead the group to safety when the weather turns sunny again. Castform's form changes with the weather.

They find a couple of researchers at an institute. Brock, as usual, goes into his pretty-girl-trance at the sight of the female scientist (who happens to have a Ditto), but something's wrong. Brock can't quite explain it, but he doesn't feel as gaga for this lady as he does for other ladies. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are snowed in, and appear to be enjoying themselves. Or at least Meowth is; Jessie and James blame the crazy weather patterns on Ash and company.

The researchers show Ash and the others their weather control machine. Team Rocket later find the machine and immediately make ill-fated plans to use it for nefarious ends. Team Aqua arrive on the scene soon afterwards, and in full force. Of course, they also want the machine. Team Rocket are clearly upset by the presence of Team Aqua and perform most of their motto before being clamped in restraints.

The researchers and Team Rocket are held captive together shortly. Oddly enough, the female scientist claims to have never heard of Team Rocket; perhaps this is because they're in Houen, and TR is Kanto-based. Jessie and James suck in their stomachs and the restraints loosen. Team Aqua begins powering up the weather control machine, but it appears as though they simply wanted data from the machine and not the machine itself. The data they're interested in relates to a local legendary Pokémon.

Ditto runs off with the Pass Card for the data. Ash and company, watching all the action from the outside, vow to protect the machine from Team Aqua and Team Rocket. The Pass Card is intercepted by Ash and the others. Everyone but Ash and Pikachu flees, and Pikachu knocks out the Team Aqua grunts with a couple of lightning bolts.
The plan is apparently to delete all the data from the main computer, which is now under guard by Team Aqua.

Ditto then copies Castform and lures the Aqua guards away. Ash links up with Ditto (disguised as Castform) and runs away. Team Aqua have apparently copied all the data to a disk and deleted it from the computer. While running out of the room, the Team Aqua guards run into Ash and Ditto (Castform). Ash is embarrassed that he never noticed a thing. After a quick fight inside, Ash and Ditto run outside to challenge the remaining TA members.

The weather control machine is brought out and a lightning bolt strikes Team Rocket instead of Ash and company. A demonstration of power, apparently. Fearing for the others, Milly (the female scientist) hands over the Pass Card. Unbeknownst to the TA members, the data doesn't exist! Then Milly jumps to the top of the machine. Everyone looks at her, surprised. And we learn that Milly isn't really a woman after all. He's really Bannai, the leader of Team Magma. This explains Brock's lack of a reaction to Bannai's disguised form earlier.

May gets involved in the battle, but her Combusken doesn't have enough power to battle Bannai's Ditto. He escapes with the data and, for a change, the bad guys win this round. The real Milly then arrives on the scene, all ready for her first day at the institute. Brock does his patented pretty-girl-trance. As it turns out, the data isn't completely lost. It's in hardcopy but it will take a long time to re-enter.

The episode closes with another scene of Team Rocket freezing in the snow.

'''A Shroomish Skirmish''' (Japanese: '''森の格闘王!? ワカシャモvsキノガッサ！''' ''The Fighting King of the Forest!? Wakasyamo vs. Kinogassa!'') is episode 82 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 24, 2004 and in USA on June 11, 2005.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =

Thanks to [[Archaic]] for the synopsis.

The episode begins with everyone having their lunch and, as usual, Brock's food is great. Corphish steals Torchic's food, which of course ignites a fight, and everyone gets shocked by Pikachu. That doesn't stop the fighting, though. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are starving as usual. Meowth remembers to the second the last time that they had real food. Wobbuffett 'finds' some fruit from somewhere, which in turn leads to an argument. However, it doesn't turn into a fight because Team Rocket then realize Wobbuffett got the fruit from a group of weak plant Pokémon. Team Rocket then fight the Pokémon off-screen for the fruit. Finally, the Pokémon belonging to Ash and company stop their fighting and are summarily told off by their trainers.

Team Rocket eat the apples they've stolen but are then smacked by some Breloom, who are friends of the plant Pokémon that Team Rocket stole the fruit from. While fleeing, Team Rocket run straight into Ash and company. They launch into their now-familiar motto, stop briefly to steal more food, and then resume the motto from where they left off earlier. However, the angry Breloom have followed them and proceed to use Mega Punch on everyone.

Everyone blasts off! May and Mudkip land together on a tree branch hanging above a large, deep ravine. Torchic, crying, lands with Corphish and follows the crab as it leads them away. Ash and Brock land together somewhere in a forest with Pikachu and Swellow. The two Pokémon are then instructed to search for the others, but only seconds later, Ash and Brock are again attacked by the Breloom. Ash wants to fight but Brock doesn't, and they both flee.

Meowth and Max land together and quickly meet up with Torchic and Corphish.
Meanwhile, May and Mudkip run into Team Rocket (after using Mudkip's radar). Team Rocket run right off the cliff and land onto an overhanging tree branch. Jessie and James hug each other desperately. However, Torchic is still sad and appears to be hungry.

Ash still wants to fight the Pokémon but Brock drags him off. While running, the two friends end up rolling down a hill. Pikachu and Swellow later meet up with Meowth and Max, who have been cornered by the Breloom against a rock face. Pikachu bravely joins the fight while Swellow searches for Ash. Ash and Brock fall on top of Team Rocket, and all plunge into the gorge below. They are saved by a Rapid Spin attack from Forretress. Swellow reports back.

Meanwhile, Pikachu and Corphish are fighting a losing battle to protect everyone else. Corphish is almost knocked out, but is saved by the sudden arrival of May and Mudkip. Another surprise attack almost does him in, but Torchic (who up until now had been cowering) gets in the way and appears angry. Torchic then evolves into Combusken!

Everyone's on the scene now and Combusken battles the Breloom. After using an initially useless Fire attack (which was fended off with a Mega Punch attack), Breloom challenges Combusken to hand-to-hand combat. Combusken obliges. A cross-counter knocks out both Pokémon. Team Rocket, while complimenting the fighting Pokémon, inadvertently say something to annoy both Breloom and Combusken, and are subsequently blasted off by their combined attacks. By now, Combusken and Breloom have a grudging respect for each other.

The episode ends with Brock making more food to satisfy everyone's appetite. Again, Corphish tries to steal some food but is frightened off by the stronger Combusken.

'''A Shroomish Skirmish''' (Japanese: '''森の格闘王!? ワカシャモvsキノガッサ！''' ''The Fighting King of the Forest!? Wakasyamo vs. Kinogassa!'') is episode 82 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 24, 2004 and in USA on June 11, 2005.

= Synopsis =

Thanks to [[Archaic]] for the synopsis.

The episode begins with everyone having their lunch and, as usual, Brock's food is great. Egani steals Torchic's food, which of course ignites a fight, and everyone gets shocked by Pikachu. That doesn't stop the fighting, though. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are starving as usual. Meowth remembers to the second the last time that they had real food. Wobbuffett 'finds' some fruit from somewhere, which in turn leads to an argument. However, it doesn't turn into a fight because Team Rocket then realize Wobbuffett got the fruit from a group of weak plant Pokémon. Team Rocket then fight the Pokémon off-screen for the fruit. Finally, the Pokémon belonging to Ash and company stop their fighting and are summarily told off by their trainers.

Team Rocket eat the apples they've stolen but are then smacked by some Breloom, who are friends of the plant Pokémon that Team Rocket stole the fruit from. While fleeing, Team Rocket run straight into Ash and company. They launch into their now-familiar motto, stop briefly to steal more food, and then resume the motto from where they left off earlier. However, the angry Breloom have followed them and proceed to use Mega Punch on everyone.

Everyone blasts off! May and Mudkip land together on a tree branch hanging above a large, deep ravine. Torchic, crying, lands with Egani and follows the crab as it leads them away. Ash and Brock land together somewhere in a forest with Pikachu and Swellow. The two Pokémon are then instructed to search for the others, but only seconds later, Ash and Brock are again attacked by the Breloom. Ash wants to fight but Brock doesn't, and they both flee.

Meowth and Max land together and quickly meet up with Torchic and Egani.
Meanwhile, May and Mudkip run into Team Rocket (after using Mudkip's radar). Team Rocket run right off the cliff and land onto an overhanging tree branch. Jessie and James hug each other desperately. However, Torchic is still sad and appears to be hungry.

Ash still wants to fight the Pokémon but Brock drags him off. While running, the two friends end up rolling down a hill. Pikachu and Swellow later meet up with Meowth and Max, who have been cornered by the Breloom against a rock face. Pikachu bravely joins the fight while Swellow searches for Ash. Ash and Brock fall on top of Team Rocket, and all plunge into the gorge below. They are saved by a Rapid Spin attack from Forretress. Swellow reports back.

Meanwhile, Pikachu and Egani are fighting a losing battle to protect everyone else. Egani is almost knocked out, but is saved by the sudden arrival of May and Mudkip. Another surprise attack almost does him in, but Torchic (who up until now had been cowering) gets in the way and appears angry. Torchic then evolves into Combusken!

Everyone's on the scene now and Combusken battles the Breloom. After using an initially useless Fire attack (which was fended off with a Mega Punch attack), Breloom challenges Combusken to hand-to-hand combat. Combusken obliges. A cross-counter knocks out both Pokémon. Team Rocket, while complimenting the fighting Pokémon, inadvertently say something to annoy both Breloom and Combusken, and are subsequently blasted off by their combined attacks. By now, Combusken and Breloom have a grudging respect for each other.

The episode ends with Brock making more food to satisfy everyone's appetite. Again, Egani tries to steal some food but is frightened off by the stronger Combusken.

=Synopsis=
Thanks to [[Murgatroyd]] for the synopsis.

Satoshi-tachi arrive at the local Pokémon Center shortly before a blizzard is expected to start. While they're talking to Joy, a Yukiwarashi comes in. Joy tells them it's a bit of a trickster, and frequently borrows things from visitors. At this point, they notice that it's holding Satoshi's badge case.
However, Joy tells Satoshi not to worry, that it always returns things before long. Satoshi is not inclined to wait, and has Pikachu and Heigani chase it down. When they have it cornered, Satoshi demands that it return his badges. It returns one badge, and uses Double Team to get away with the rest.

Meanwhile, TR is trudging through the snow outside, very hungry, as they haven't eaten for a day. Musashi has just collapsed in the snow when Kojirou spots the Pokémon Center. The thought of the food inside is enough to get Musashi moving again. Satoshi-tachi and Joy are searching the Pokémon Center for Yukawarashi, when they find another badge lying on the floor. Satoshi doesn't like the idea that it's returning his badges one at a time. Suddenly, Heigani charges off, and the others, suspecting that it has somehow sensed Yukiwarashi, follow.

They end up in the kitchen. Satoshi looks around, sees nothing, and shouts something along the lines of "We know you're hiding in here somewhere! Come out and give my badges back!" Very confused as to how he knew they were there, Team Rocket comes out from behind some boxes, food in hand (and in mouth). They deny any involvement with his badges, and say they weren't even doing anything wrong. All they did was sneak in and take food without permission. For some reason, Haruka and Joy are offended by this.

At about this time, Yukiwarashi comes out from behind another stack of boxes, and everyone's attention is off Team Rocket. Musashi and Kojirou don't like being ignored, and start shouting to get attention. They succeed, and when Joy yells at them about stealing the Center's food, Yukiwarashi suddenly becomes very serious and attacks them. Working together, Pikachu and Yukiwarashi defeat Team Rocket, Pikachu sends them flying, and Yukiwarashi opens a window to let them out.

Satoshi thanks Yukiwarashi for its help, and again asks for his badges back. It gets the case out, starts handing it over... then freezes Satoshi with Icy Wind and hops out the window. Satoshi breaks free from the ice and follows it. The others, realizing that the storm is going to start soon, set out to bring him back. Satoshi catches up with Yukiwarashi at the edge of a steep hill, where it dances around a bit to taunt him. The ice at the edge crumbles under its foot, and it ends up sliding out of control down the hill. Satoshi goes into his usual Rescue Mode, catches up with it, and when they're about to slide into a large rock, maneuvers them so that he takes the full impact on his back, protecting Yukiwarashi.

Satoshi is knocked out, and Yukiwarashi is unable to wake him. The storm has started. Takeshi, Haruka, and Masato return to the Pokémon Center without Satoshi. Satoshi wakes up to find himself in a snow cave with Yukiwarashi. He thanks it for saving him, and it gives him an apple. They share it, and Satoshi says something about how worried the others must be. Yukiwarashi gives him a couple more apples, then takes his hat and walks off into the storm.

At the Pokémon Center, it delivers the hat to the others. As soon as the storm is over, they ask it to lead them to Satoshi, and set off on snowmobiles.
They find Satoshi right where Yukiwarashi left him, and there is a reunion. As Satoshi once again asks Yukiwarashi to give his badges back, a giant hand comes out of nowhere and grabs both Yukiwarashi and Pikachu. It is, of course, Team Rocket.

Pikachu and Yukiwarashi are caught in boxes. Pikachu tries to escape with an electric attack, and as usual, fails. Musashi laughs, saying "Of course we made it strong against electricity". Yukiwarashi tries to escape with Icy Wind, and Kojirou laughs, saying "Of course we made it strong against... wait a minute..."

Yukiwarashi breaks out of the box. It uses Icy Wind against TR, but Musashi yells at Sounansu to "Do something!", and it uses what appears to be Mirror Coat. TR manages to escape in the balloon with their Pikachu-in-a-box.
Musashi and Kojirou are not very disappointed that their plan half failed. After all, they got Pikachu. They're not quite so happy when they find the twerps and Joy following them on the snowmobiles (following one of the usual Convenient Paths™ through the woods). TR manages to speed up, but Joy knows a way to catch up. This method apparently involves leaving the path, going through the woods at high speed, then going off a jump just as the balloon goes by. At the top of their trajectory, Satoshi throws Yukiwarashi at the balloon.

Yukiwarashi freezes Musashi, Kojirou, Nyasu, Sounansu, and the balloon itself, then jumps out with Pikachu-in-a-box before the balloon crashes down. Satoshi soon gets Pikachu out of the box, and with Pikachu and Yukiwarashi, defeats TR and their Pokémon, and sends them blasting off.

Yukiwarashi is *still* reluctant to return the badges. One of the group speculates that it doesn't want to, because it likes Satoshi and if it gave them back, he'd leave, and it wouldn't be able to play with him any more. Satoshi tries to solve the dilemma by inviting Yukiwarashi to come with him. Yukiwarashi responds with an unmistakable "you wanna fight?" motion. It may like him, but it isn't about to be captured without seeing if he's strong enough first.

Satoshi battles it with Pikachu. After a long fight, he wins, the last attack knocking the badge case away from Yukiwarashi. Satoshi throws a Monster Ball, beep beep beep, and he's caught it. The final scene is back at the Pokémon Center, with Yukiwarashi being introduced to all the group's Pokémon. Heigani gets a little too close and acts a little to aggressive, and gets frozen. Haruka has Wakashamo thaw Heigani with a Fire Spin, and Satoshi sits down for a little talk with Yukiwarashi about acceptable behavior.

= Synopsis =

Thanks to [[Dogasu]] for the synopsis.

The episode starts with the gang on the boat to Izabe Island. May is on the deck practicing with her Bulbasaur, trying to get its attacks finalized before the big Contest. Bulbasaur uses Razor Leaf, and then follows it up with a Vine Whip. After the attack's finished, May seems pleased with Bulbasaur's performance.

Elsewhere, on Izabe Island, we see Team Rocket pulling a large cart full of Berries up a steep hill. Jessie plans to use the Berries to make Pokéblocks, enabling them to make lots of money at the upcoming Contest. However, Meowth has them stop the cart and says that they can't make Pokeblocks out of those particular Berries (they look like green Tamato Berries; possibly Durin Berries?). Jessie gets angry and tries to carry the cart up the hill by herself, but without the other two helping her, she's dragged downhill as James and Meowth watch.

Back on the boat, May is approached by a guy in a Cacturne-themed outfit. The purple-haired man, who introduces himself as Harley, is a Cacturne trainer who also competes in Pokémon Contests. May goes to look up the Cacturne on her Pokémon Zukan, and Harley seems offended that she had to look such a magnificent Pokémon up. After hearing what the Zukan has to say about Cacturne, May comments that the cactus Pokémon looks scary, which upsets Harley even further. However, Harley turns the other cheek and simply smiles as he offers May some cookies that he had made. May eats them and says that they're "sorta tasty", and Harley seems upset at the word "sorta". May looks up to thank Harley, but Harley seems to have vanished from sight!

The camera then pans over to a nearby wall, where Harley is seen hiding. He secretly takes a Polaroid picture of May and posts it in some sort of scrapbook. Then, he draws a skull and crossbones over her picture! Harley can't believe the nerve of May, calling his precious Cacturne "scary" and whatnot. He decides to teach her a lesson.

On the land, Team Rocket is trying to make some Pokéblocks. James has a {{p|Wobbuffet}}-shaped Berry Crusher, but the Pokéblocks aren't coming out good at all (instead of being little cubes, they look more like misshapen lumps). Meowth and James give up, saying that what they're doing is impossible, but Jessie yells at them and tells them that they don't have much time before the Contest starts.

Speaking of the Contest, the Izabe Island Pokémon Contest's opening ceremony has begun! As Vivian makes the usual salutations, Ash, Brock, and May are backstage, wondering where Max is. As the group worries, Max and Harley come running down the hall. May gets ready to berate her little brother, but Harley tells her not to be angry—he had just wanted to hear some stories from the little kid. May decides not to yell at Max just as her turn comes up.

Entry #17, May! May calls on her Bulbasaur, who starts things off by using Razor Leaf. As the leaves fly through the air, the Pokémon slaps them with its Vine Whip attack, impressing the judges. We don't get to see her actual score, but we assume that she gets high marks. The Contest continues, and we get to see different Coordinators (we see one with a Azurill, one with a Camerupt, one with a Tentacruel, and one with an Masquerain) take the stage.

The final Coordinator is contestant #30, Harley. Harley calls on his Cacturne, which surprises the audience. Max repeats May's sentiments that the Pokémon is scary, and it seems that the rest of the audience agrees as well. Harley ignores their stunned gasps and decides to show them how great his Cacturne is. He orders it to use Bullet Seed on the ground, and as the Pokémon runs around the judges comment on its speed. After running around for a while, spitting seeds on the ground, Cacturne comes to a stop. From above, the audience can see that the Pokémon was using its Bullet Seed attack to draw a giant skull and crossbones on the stage! The judges are impressed, but Ash and his friends worry about May's competitor.

Backstage, May nervously awaits the announcement of the Top Four. She doesn't have to wait too long, as the Top Four are announced as being May, Harley, Kent (the Masquerain trainer), and the trainer with an Azurill. In the auditorium, Brock seems worried, as he believes that Harley will be a difficult person to beat. Backstage (again), Harley seems upset that May could make it to the Top Four.

The semi-finals are now underway! Harley and Cacturne are up against a trainer and his Azurill. The Azurill spits out a ballet of bubbles and then bounces from bubble to bubble, causing May to comment on how cute it is. Cacturne responds with a Pin Missile attack that pops all the bubbles. Cacturne then hits the Pokémon with its Bullet Seed attack, causing it to faint. It's a Battle Off for the Azurill trainer, meaning that Harley can proceed to the next round!

Backstage, May congratulates Harley on his win. Harley thanks her and tells her to be careful of her opponent, Kent. He says that his Masquerain is very fast, but I wasn't able to catch what advice he gave her to counter it. In any case, May thanks him as she steps on the stage.

The next battle in the semi-finals has begun! Masquerain uses Double Team and follows it up with a Quick Attack, hitting May's Bulbasaur. It then uses Water Pulse followed by a Quick Attack, hitting Bulbasaur again. The bug Pokémon moves in for a third attack, but Bulbasaur is able to counter with a Razor Leaf. However, Masquerain uses Double Team to dodge the attack, so Bulbasaur tries a Vine Whip attack this time.

Masquerain thrusts forward with another Water Pulse/Quick Attack combination, but Bulbasaur is able to slap it away with a Vine Whip attack this time. The grass Pokémon follows it with a Petal Dance attack, hitting Masquerain while dazzling the judges. Masquerain gets up from the attack and is about to counter, but the buzzer goes off! The time for this battle has run out, and May is declared the winner. Harley, who's been watching this match, is upset at her win.

Without wasting any time, May and Harley take the stage for the final round. May asks Harley why he gave her that bad advice, and Harley admits how much he doesn't like her. He then tells her that Contests are serious, and May responds that she'll show him how serious she can be. May calls Bulbasaur while Harley calls Cacturne as the battle is under way. Cacturne starts off with a Pin Missile attack, but Bulbasaur is able to deflect them with its Vine Whip. Bulbasaur takes the offensive now as it uses Razor Leaf, but Cacturne is able to deflect those attacks with its Bullet Seed. May's Pokémon then uses Vine Whip, followed by a Tackle attack, to land a hit on Cacturne. The cactus Pokémon is knocked down, and Harley screams out for his dear Pokémon.

The purple-haired Coordinator then reaches into his pocket and presses a button on what appears to be a small tape recorder. Suddenly, Max's voice can be heard over the loudspeakers of the auditorium! As Max sits in the audience, wondering what's going on, the voice over the loudspeakers tells an embarrassing story about May. Ash and the others ask what's going on, and Max told them that Harley had asked him to tell him a story before the Contest. It seems that he was recording it with a hidden tape recorder!

As May blushes from embarrassment, the story continues as Max tells (through a flashback) how May was playing in the water one day when she was little. She's approached by two Tentacool, so she swims over to pet them. Suddenly, she notices that she's being surrounded by a whole sea full of Tentacool! She yells for her mom and dad to help, and the flashback ends with Norman and Caroline getting ready to help. Everyone in the audience starts to laugh at May as the girl from Touka City angrily screams out her brother's name. Harley then starts to laugh and calls her "Tentacool-chan", causing the audience to laugh even more. As May boils in her own embarrassment, Harley's Cacturne sneaks up behind Bulbasaur and hits it from behind!

So the battle continues! After Bulbasaur recovers, it uses Razor Leaf, so Cacturne responds with the Pin Missile. It hits the starter Pokémon, but Bulbasaur quickly retaliates with a Vine Whip attack, followed by Petal Dance. Cacturne is able to dodge all of it.

Bulbasaur is visibly worn out as it struggles to keep up. Harley simply laughs, calling May "Tenta-chan." Ash shouts at May not to give up as Cacturne begins to charge toward May's Pokémon. Fushgidane responds by using Vine Whip to wrap around Cacturne' leg! Bulbasaur tosses Cacturne into the air, and as it falls Bulbasaur uses a Razor Leaf/Petal Dance combination to knock Cacturne out. May wins the Contest! As Ash and the others cheer, May proudly holds up her new Ribbon. Harley quietly recalls his Cacturne and leaves the stage with only a "hmmpf." He ends by saying that he wants to face his "Tenta-chan" again someday.

Later that night, Max apologizes for telling Harley that embarrassing story. May decides that she isn't angry, and she wonders what they should do next. The others say that Izabe Island is a big place, so everyone agrees that they should do some sightseeing for a bit. So, Ash and the others make their way through a forest to their next destination.

Elsewhere, Team Rocket is seen manning a giant Pokeblock shop, serving dozens and dozens of customers. Jessie laughs as she imagines all the money they'll make, but it's soon revealed to be only a dream as we see that Team Rocket has fallen asleep beside their Pokéblock-making equipment. Better luck next time!

= Synopsis =
Thanks to [[Dogasu]] for the synopsis.

Ash is battling an unnamed trainer on a dock as the episode begins. Ash is using Torkoal while his opponent has called out Scizor. Torkoal uses a type of Fire attack, possibly Flamethrower, but it misses. Scizor responds with a Hyper Beam attack, but Torkoal tucks itself into its shell, negating the effects of the attack. As Torkoal emerges from its shell, unharmed, Ash smiles and throws up a peace sign. Scizor’s onslaught doesn’t stop as it charges with what appears to be a Metal Claw attack. Torkoal responds with Overheat, which hits the Bug-Type. Scizor faints from the attack, and Brock (who’s been refereeing) declares Ash to be the winner. Ash's opponent compliments him afterwards, saying that Ash must be a skillful trainer because he's earned seven Houen League badges. Nearby, Drake is seen watching the battle from afar.

A restaurant is on the dock. Inside, it’s revealed that Jessie, James, and Meowth are working there part time! As Jessie and James are cleaning, they wonder where the twerps could be at that moment. After looking longingly at the ocean scenery, Drake walks through the door. Jessie and James inform Drake that the regular staff isn’t there today, but Drake doesn’t seem to care. He orders a hot milk with sugar, and tells the trio that it had better taste the same as it would if the regular staff was there. Team Rocket is intimidated.

Meanwhile, Ash and company are looking for a place to relax after the recent battle. They spot the restaurant and they decide to sit at one of the tables outside the building. After settling down, Max brings up the recent battle, and how Torkoal had a type advantage, and Ash states that he won’t lose to anyone who challenges him. Just then, James comes outside to take everyone's orders, but does a double take when he recognizes Ash and his friends. James nervously runs off, confusing everyone. Drake has now noticed Ash and the others sitting outside.

In the restaurant’s kitchen, Jessie and Team Rocket plot to kidnap Pikachu. However, they decide against their regular tactics when they imagine Drake making them blast off again with his massive punch. They’ll have to bide their time for the time being.

Back outside, Brock asks May about her next contest. Suddenly, Drake approaches the group and tells the young coordinator that her choice of Pokémon is very important. She thanks him for the advice. Inside the restaurant again, Jessie has the sudden realization that Drake is a member of the Elite Four. Team Rocket is suitably impressed.

Outside, Drake compliments Ash on his battle with Torkoal, pointing out that he had good timing. Ash thanks him and introduces himself, and his friends follow suit. Drake then invites everyone to his boat, and his invitation is eagerly accepted. Suddenly, Jessie appears with Drake's order, and although she's intimidated by the Elite Four member, she is relieved when she’s complimented on the drink. Drake then invites Jessie and James to come to his boat as well.

The gang (including Team Rocket) is led to the edge of one of the docks. Drake stands at the edge and stares at the ocean, waiting for his boat to arrive. The boat swings into view from the distance, but it looks more like a pirate ship than the small boat Ash and the others were imagining! The ship's crew greet their captain as the ship docks. As Wingull fly overhead, Brock marvels at the ship’s large masts. Max then asks Drake to show them his Pokémon, and Ash eagerly joins in. Drake instead asks for a battle with Ash, and the young trainer agrees almost immediately. Brock yells at Ash to wait and think about his decision, but Ash is confident that he’ll win. Meanwhile, Team Rocket realize that this may be their chance to nab Pikachu.

The battle begins with Drake choosing Shellgon while Ash chooses Pikachu. Ash seems confident, thinking that Pikachu’s speed will give it the advantage. Pikachu starts off by using Thunderbolt, and it hits Shellgon directly but Drake seems calm. Pikachu repeats the attack, and again Shellgon receives a direct hit. Drake’s Pokémon starts to glow as May and James comment on the battle.

Shellgon now takes the offensive as it charges toward Pikachu with Double Edge, but the mouse Pokémon is able to avoid it with a Quick Attack. Pikachu then uses Iron Tail, but Drake remains calm. Shellgon responds with Dragon Breath, and then follows with Dragon Claw. The two attacks prove to be too much for Pikachu, and the little Pokémon faints. Ash retreives Pikachu as Brock comments favorably on Drake's strength in battle. One of the crew members describes to Brock how strong the captain is as the battle resumes.

Drake brings out Altaria, and Ash responds with Grovyle. Max is worried because Grass Types are weak against Flying Types, but Ash seems to have a plan. He tells Grovyle to jump from mast to mast, allowing it to reach the flying Pokémon. It then uses Bullet Seed, but Altaria is able to avoid it by ducking behind one of the masts. Grovyle then uses Leaf Blade, but Altaria seems to have disappeared! Suddenly, it appears from behind with a Peck attack! Altaria then uses Dragon Breath, knocking Grovyle to the ground! Drake’s Pokémon then charges downward with a Sky Attack, but Ash’s Grass-Type is able to dodge it with Quick Attack, before throwing out a Leaf Blade at the opponent, but Altaria dodges that attack as well. Altaria fires off a Solar Beam, which hits Grovyle. Poor Grovyle crashes through two barrels before slamming into a wall and knocking itself out.

Drake gently picks up Ash's Pokémon and tells the young tainer that Grovyle's injuries aren't too serious but it should be taken to a Pokémon Center immediately after the battle. Ash recalls Grovyle. Drake invites everyone to have dinner on his ship after Ash’s Pokémon have been treated at the Pokémon Center, and everyone happily accepts. Off to the side, May is holding the now-conscious Pikachu. As Jessie puts on a pair of rubber gloves, James offers May a drink. She takes it, putting Pikachu down in the process. Jessie quickly snatches the Pokémon up, and Team Rocket jumps into their balloon, which is seen floating nearby. The trio recites their motto as they reveal who they are to the group.

Drake wastes no time in calling out his Salamence, which uses a Dragon Claw on the balloon's basket, causing the balloon to shake violently. This, in turn, causes Jessie to drop Pikachu and Salamence swoops in to save Pikachu. With Pikachu riding on its back, Salamence unleashes a Flamethrower attack on the balloon. Team Rocket blasts off yet again, and May checks her Pokedex for information about Salamence. Ash, watching Drake's Pokémon in action, comments that this must be the true power of the Elite Four

That same night, Drake, Ash and his friends, and Drake's crew enjoy a hearty dinner. Drake tells Ash that he shouldn't focus so much on losing, but should always seek stronger and stronger opponents. Ash nods at this advice, having learned a lesson in humility, and is now ready for his next adventure.
