'''Harley''' (Japanese: '''ハーリー''') is a [[Coordinator]] from [[Slateport City]]. His Japanese voice actor is 金丸淳一 ''[[Jun'ichi Kanemaru]]'', his English voice actors are [[Andrew Rannells]] ([[AG103]]-[[AG145]]) and [[Billy Regan]] ([[AG145]]-present) while his Brazilian Portuguese voice actor is [[Marcelo Campos]] (for [[AG103]]) and [[Dado Monteiro]] (other appearances).

Harley first competed against [[May (anime)|May]] in ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse!]]''. When the two Coordinators met, Harley was annoyed at May for several petty reasons: she was not familiar with his Cacturne, she called Cacturne "scary," and she spoke as if she was unsure of her statements, specifically regarding cookies Harley offered her. Later, the two competed in a [[Contest]], Harley using Cacturne and May using Bulbasaur. In an attempt to publicly humiliate May, Harley played a recording of Max recalling a time when May was younger and she became stuck in water with a swarm of Tentacool and was extremely frightened. May was embarrassed, but went on to defeat Harley.

Months later, Harley and May met up again in the episodes ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind!]]'', ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist!]]'', and ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew!]]''. Harley pretended that he was friends with May, and she initially believed him. He gave her "advice" to have her [[May's Skitty|Skitty]] use its {{m|Assist}} move repeatedly to make a good appeal; this resulted in Skitty becoming confused after using Bulbasaur's {{m|Petal Dance}}, having to {{m|Doubleslap}} itself out of confusion. Meanwhile, [[Drew]] watched Harley, noticing how he tricked May. Later, May realized Harley's ploy, and soon the two were to battle once again. This time, it was Harley's Cacturne and {{p|Banette}} versus May's [[May's Beautifly|Beautifly]] and Bulbasaur. May won this battle as well, and progressed further into the tournament.

Harley tended to use nicknames for May behind her back. The first was ''Meno-chan'' (English equivalent: ''Miss Tent'') after embarrassing her with the Tentacool story. The second was ''Kamo-chan'', referring to the word often used at the end of May's sentences in Japanese that can imply unsureness.
[[Image:Harleyharuka.png|175px|left|thumb|Harley crossdressed as [[May (anime)|May]] in [[AG180]]]]
Harley has a rather peculiar personality. He is undeniably flamboyant, wearing an outfit similar in appearance to Cacturne. He has very effeminate mannerisms, which include wiggling his hips as he walks and using あたし ''atashi'', the Japanese feminine version of ''I''. He also has a tendency to use select English words intermixed with his normal Japanese speech; for example, he calls Cacturne and Banette ''my buddies'' and tells May ''good morning''. Another example of his feminine side is in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'' where Harley cross-dresses as {{an|May}}.

As evidenced by his Contest performances, Harley is extremely scheming, and will attempt to trick or ruin his opponent in order to win.

He has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in [[Hoenn]], [[Kanto]], and assumably now [[Johto]] as well.

{{spoilers}}

= Synopsis =

[[Ash]] and his [[Ash's Friends|friends]] find themselves lost on the road to [[Fortree City]] when they wander into an unmapped area of [[Hoenn]]. To make matters worse neither [[Brock]]'s compass nor [[Max]]'s [[PokéNav]] seem to function correctly. Suddenly a wild {{p|Skarmory}} comes swooping down. Ash and his friends run away, but [[May (Anime)|May]]'s [[May's Skitty|Skitty]] pops out of its [[Pokéball]] and appear right in the Skarmory's path! May grabs Skitty, but before she can get away the Skarmory latches onto her backpack and flies away with her! Ash, Brock, and Max follow it as best they can, but run into a large wooden wall, guarded by two cloaked men. The men tell them that beyond lies the [[Forbidden Forest]], an area where humans aren't allowed. After hearing about their situation, the men lead Ash and his friends to their village. There they meet the village leader [[Old Man Obi]]. Obi listens to their story, and calls a town meeting, where he discusses whether or not they should let Ash and his friends go into the forest to rescue May. While they're distracted, Ash takes the opportunity to sneak into the forest, leaving Brock and Max behind.

Meanwhile, the Skarmory drops May on top of a mountain. While looking for a way down, she notices a wild {{p|Bulbasaur}} on the edge of a cliff trying to pick some flowers with {{m|Vine Whip}}. Suddenly the Bulbasaur loses its footing, but May is able to grab it before it falls off the edge of the cliff. Surprised to see a human, the Bulbasaur is cautious at first, but after May reassures it that she means no harm, it quickly warms up to her. However before she can get too close to Bulbasaur several wild grass Pokémon appear and start attacking her. Realizing she's in danger, May calls out [[May's Torchic|Torchic]] who clears an escape route with {{m|Ember}}. She runs down the mountain and into the forest, dodging attacks from wild grass Pokémon left and right. However she soon finds herself cornered against a tree. Just when it looks like all hope is lost, Ash appears with [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] and opens a path with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. The two continue to flee, the grass Pokémon still chasing them.

Back in the village, Old Man Obi tells Brock and Max that the Forbidden Forest is a sanctuary for Grass Pokémon. So many trainers used to come to the area to capture the Pokémon there, that the Pokémon eventually become hostile towards humans. Wanting to protect the Pokémon, the villagers built a giant wall around the Forest, and set up guards to keep anybody from getting inside. Obi explains that the area has strange magnetic properties, which is why Max's PokéNav and Brock's compass weren't working. He then tells them that the villagers have reached a consensus, and have agreed to help Brock and Max find their lost friends. Opening up the gates, he begins to track May and Ash using several {{p|Poochyena}}. They enter the forest, unaware that [[Team Rocket]] was eavesdropping on the conversation. They decide that they'll sneak into the forest as well, and steal all of the grass Pokémon there for [[Giovanni|the Boss]].

Deep in the forest, Ash and May find themselves trapped on the edge of a cliff. However, the Pokémon chasing them suddenly stop, when a large {{p|Venusaur}} appears, with the Bulbasaur May helped earlier next to it. The Venusaur commands the other Pokémon to stop their attack, and beckons Ash and May to follow it into the forest. Hidden nearby, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] listen as [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] translates for Venusaur. Apparently, the Bulbasaur May saved was the Venusaur's child, and by saving it May proved that she wasn't a dangerous human. Jessie realizes that the Venusaur must be the boss off all the grass Pokémon, and decides that catching it should be their primary mission.

Ash and May follow Venusaur to the center of the forest, where they find a beautiful spring. Bulbasaur appears, and gives May some of the flowers it picked earlier. It grabs hold of May with Vine Whip, and leads her and Ash around the forest. Soon they arrive on top of a cliff, where May notices a city in the distance. Realizing that Bulbasaur has never been outside of the forest, May begins to tell it about all of the things that she's seen on her journey. Ash, May, and Bulbasaur play together for awhile, until Ash realizes that Brock and Max must be worried about them. As the two prepare to head out of the forest, several grass Pokémon come running past them in fear. Looking around, they spy Team Rocket, using a large robot to scoop up and capture the wild Pokémon!

Ash orders Pikachu to attack the robot, but its attack is deflected by [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Wobbuffet]]. Venusaur soon arrives, and begins to battle as well. However Team Rocket's robot is too strong even for it. Knocking Venusaur away, the robot grabs Bulbasaur and May, and tosses them into a large sack on its back. However before they can get away, Old Man Obi, Brock, and Max appear with several villagers. Using Poochyena's {{m|Shadow Ball}} Old Man Obi is able to stun the robot. This, combined with attacks from Venusaur, Pikachu, and the Pokémon inside of the sack cause the robot to explode, and send Team Rocket "blasting off again".

With Ash's and his friends reunited, they all prepare to leave the forest. May bids a tearful farewell to Bulbasaur, however at the last moment Bulbasaur decides to leave the forest and go with her. Waving goodbye to its friends in the forest, Bulbasaur is welcomed by Ash and his friend's as the newest member of their group.

'''There's no Place Like Hoenn''' (Japanese: '''トウカジムVSヤルキモノ''' ''{{tt|Touka|Petalburg}} Gym! VS {{tt|Yarukimono|Vigoroth}}!'') is the third episode of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 5, 2002 and in USA on November 15, 2003.

{{spoilers}}

= Synopsis =

Ash runs up to a cliff seeing that Petalburg City is just ahead. However May lags behind, as usual. They settle down in a park, Ash talking about how he wants to get the badge from the Gym Leader. May however is not so thrilled about it. Maybe she's hiding something? Then she goes off somewhere without Ash saying she'll meet up with him as soon as she can. Ash doesn't mind however, and tells Pikachu that they're going to the gym to battle.

Ash soon reached the gym, taking a look at it. The gym looks like a large oriental building with a large front entrance. Determined than ever to get the badge, Ash steps into the gym. He reaches the main arena, a rather large room with wooden floors, introducing himself to present a challenge. There was no response. Ash tries again, then a young nerdy looking boy carrying books walks to the arena. Ash thinks this might be the gym leader so he asks. The boy recognizes Ash asking if he was in the Silver Tournament. Ash said he was in, and got all the way to last round. The boy tries to recognize Ash from that and asks if he was Alf. Ash makes an anime fall, saying that his name is Ash. Then the boy answers Ash's previous question. He makes a pose and says that he's the gym leader. Ash immediately asks if he could challenge him and the boy accepts, saying that it'll be interesting taking on someone.

Both of them get ready for the fight. The boy says that they will use three Pokémon each. Just one little problem, Ash only has Pikachu to fight for him. Luckily enough, May comes back with two other people, her parents. May asks the boy, which happens to be her little brother Max, what's he doing here acting like the gym leader. Max is too young to be a trainer, but he'd like to be one just once. Instead, Max spends a lot of his time studying to be a Pokémon trainer. Both Max and May's father is actually Norman, the real gym leader. Ash is surprised, giving Max a glare before looking back at Norman. He was just about to ask Ash for a challenge, but May pulled him over, saying that it's almost lunch and she's hungry. May's mother doesn't mind the extra company so Ash stays over for lunch.

And while they go on their way, the notorious Rocket trio spy on them through a window. They plan their next move to see if they can snag the Pikachu, and maybe the gym leader's Pokémon.

During the meal, Ash asks about the rules and regulations Norman uses for matches. Max makes a comment that it's the "same rules" as he used. Norman then says he prefers a three on three match. Ash hangs his head, now he can't fight in the gym. Then he asks Norman if he can just have a sudden death match since he left all his old Pokémon except Pikachu back in Pallet town. Norman understands and gives just Ash a temporary rule change. Just after lunch, everyone goes back to the arena for the battle. Max cheers Ash on in the back, having a lot of confidence for someone who was in the Silver Tournament.

The battle starts off, Ash uses Pikachu and Norman sends out Vigoroth. Ash looks it up on his PokéDex to see how to handle the Pokémon. The Dex tells him that Vigoroth is both a power-house and quite the speederster. Ash feels likes he has equal playing field since he emphasizes on speed. The first strike is a Thunderbolt from Pikachu, however the quick reflexes of Vigoroth easily jump away from the blast. Vigoroth soon runs to Pikachu with deadly speed and gives Pikachu quite a wide slash. Ash now realizes Vigoroth is a force to be reckoned with. Ash switches from the electric to the physical, and soon Pikachu starts using Quick Attacks. Even so, Pikachu's speed is still no match for Vigoroth's might. Pikachu ends up being tossed around left and right.

But just before a winner could be decided, a wall explodes on the side. When the dust settles, it reveals the Rocket trios as they say their motto. Ash does a quick explanation of who they are and gets ready to bump them out of the gym. May says she'll help them fight and sends out her Torchic. Jessie releases Arbok and James releases Weezing to attack the group. Arbok fires a volley of Poison Pins, but Vigoroth simply slices them all away. Arbok goes out for the all offensive, but Vigoroth simply takes care of the snake. James takes over and his Weezing shoots out some Sludge Bombs, all easily defeated by Vigoroth. Finally Weezing sprays around a giant cloud of smoke. Everyone but the Rockets freeze, trying to figure out where everything is. The Rockets make their move, saying that they got Pikachu. But soon Vigoroth does a whirlwind-like ability and clears the smoke.

Once everything is clear, everything looks okay. Ash still has Pikachu, Vigoroth is unhurt.... but May lost her Torchic! They probably think that the Rockets accidently stole Torchic than Pikachu. They see Team Rocket float away in their balloon, off into the distance. In their balloon, Team Rocket take a look at their prize, which they expect to be Pikachu. Instead they're surprised to find a confused Torchic. Torchic then pecks at everyone of them angrily, but Team Rocket manage to get it under control. Then they have a plan that they could use Torchic as bait to get Pikachu.

Meanwhile, everyone looks for Torchic in one group, but they decide to split up and cover more ground. As the search went on, Ash managed to find a field where Team Rocket's balloon was and where Torchic was trapped in a cage. The other soon meet up with Ash, Ash says he found where Team Rocket is. May and Max run after Torchic, but Ash tries to call them back. Too late, the two fall into a hole. Ash makes a dissapointed face as May's parents run after her. Ash tries to stop them, but they fall into another hole. Ash slaps his face in grief and decides to go out and help them. He helps out May and Max first, while Norman and Caroline make it okay.

Just after everything is hunky-dory, Team Rocket pop out and they try to keep them busy with a fight. After a few moments in another heated battle, Max sneaks by and gets to Torchic's cage, freeing it. Torchic goes back to May and they have a short happy reunion. But before Ash could make another move, May says that she wants to fight them. Except that May still doesn't know Torchic's attacks quite yet but Max tells her which one to use. May tells Torchic to attack and Torchic sprays out Embers to the Rockets to drive them back into their balloon. Then Pikachu finishes it off with a Thunderbolt.

Later back in front of Norman's gym, Norman explains that he's actually a gym leader Ash is supposed to fight later on. The first gym he should try is the one in Rustboro City, they'll have to get through Petalburg Forest though. As a gift, Senri gives the group a PokeNav, but Max snatches it as soon as he sees it. Max messes around with the Nav, explaining what it does. Ash and May are ready for their journey, but Max is going to follow them. His parents say that if he wants to be a trainer, it'd be more helpful if he saw examples rather than read it in textbooks. Max is so excited that he goes off right away to Petalburg Forest, Ash and May quickly follow afterwards.

= Synopsis =

Ash and May are walking down Route 101 on their way to Oldale Town. May is already tired, Ash comments that she's slow. Then May snaps back about her bike. They continue on anyway to the next town. May asks why Ash doesn't keep Pikachu in a Poké Ball, Ash simply says because Pikachu's his best friend. May wonders if she should do that with Torchic, but Ash suggests maybe looking it up in her Pokédex. She gets it out and tries searching for Torchic, but on the road is an Azurill. The Pokédex scans that instead and May wants to catch it. She tries just tossing a Poké Ball and snags the Azurill, but the ball breaks open. May doesn't know what's going on, but Ash says you need to fight the Azurill before you can catch it.

May sends out her Torchic to fight. While she was thinking about Torchic's attacks, Azurill runs with Torchic tagging behind. Azurill manages to get Torchic to run into a tree, May goes over to see if its alright. The Azurill still wants to fight, Torchic chases after it again. May then says to use Peck. The Torchic goes full speed at the Azurill, but the Azurill dodges, leaving Achamo pecking another tree. May says to Torchic it missed, so Torchic finds and chases the water Pokémon. Finally, Azurill makes Torchic slam into a rock. Torchic is down, but not out, and manages to chase the Azurill into some bushes. Torchic fires away an Ember attack, everyone goes to see what happened. On the other side is a very angry Azurill, along with burnt, but very mad Azumarill and Marill. They all simultaneously spray Water Gun at Torchic, knocking it down in one shot. Ash gets ride of them by having Pikachu do a Thunder Bolt near them. Then the water trio escape into a pond.

[[Image:AG002.jpg|thumb|right|May is determined to catch a Azurill.]]
May checks on Torchic, who doesn't look so good. Ash says that the next town has a Pokémon Center, so they should hurry there. While they run the rest of the route, May hopes that her Torchic will make it. Along the way the come across a ruin on top of a hill. They go up on top to check out the place when an archeologist goes up to them. Ash asks if he knows the way to the nearest Pokémon Center. The archeologist points out to the distance, saying it's just down the road. The two thank him and head on down.

At the Pokémon Center, May gives Torchic to Joy and hopes for the better. Joy says Torchic is okay, but it'll take overnight to restore it. Afterwards, Ash decides to make a call to Oak to tell him where he is and all. During the conversation though, May butts in, after all, it is the famous Professor Oak. After the phone call, May pressures Ash to show her around the Pokémon Center. Ash first shows her the rooms that they get to stay in, then the trainer lobby. Ash overhears a conversation about the Petalburg City gym leader and he wants to know what the gym leaders are like. But May snaps at Ash, then says that she's hungry and wants to go to the resturaunt.

Later outside in a telephone booth, Team Rocket calls up Giovanni. They tell him that they're in Hoenn, that could mean more oppritunities for them. Giovanni isn't too thrilled, since it's the people who screw up the most. However, Giovanni reconsiders, and maybe they could take care of Team Magma, he's willing to give them a shot. After he hangs up, he smiles at the thought that they're are just in one more area to terrorize.

The two start their meals, May comments how good the food is. May's really excited now, seeing how this is what trainers get. The archeologist from before happens to be at the resturaunt and asks if he could sit down with them. The two don't mind, in fact maybe they could get some info on the ruins. Just outside the Pokémon Center, Team Rocket is digging a hole. They work hard at it knowing they can get the Pikachu if they can just get this done right.

It looks like the archeologist, who's name is Professor Alden, has his own office in the Center. He shows them about the ruins and how there's ancient Pokémon found there. He notes that there may even be some still alive. Just outside, a Team Magma member spies on them using special goggles. He reports everything is a go and the rest of the group moves in. Back inside, the electricity goes out all of a sudden and then a few Team Magma members with their Houndooms come in. Joy walks by going into the room, but she's caught from behind by another Magma member. One of the members says that they need access to the ruins, and if Professor Alden doesn't comply, they'll do something to the others. He has no choice but to give in.

Team Rocket on the other hand dig up, but only find themselves still outside. And one thing that's not good is that they are surrouded by Magma members! They don't give up that easily and send out their Pokémon. However, Team Magma's Houndoom use Roar, sending the Pokémon back into their balls. With that, Team Rocket runs off.

The gang and Joy are thrown into the stoarge room. Locked in, they try to find a way out and help Professor Alden before anything goes wrong. Pikachu finds a vent, and they can escape from there. Joy tells them to find the master key and get everything back up if they can.

Back in the ruins, the Magma members continue to pin down Professor Alden with threats, and eventually tells him what to do. They give him a box with four colored orbs, and he knows what to do. Professor Alden puts each on in a wall of one building and it moves, opening the path to a room. The Magma members go in a take pictures. But nothing's interesting here, just a bunch of a drawings on the wall. The leader says they're out of time and it's time to head out.

Ash and Pikachu go inside the vent to try to find the way out. Along the way, May stops them, she wants to come along as well. They go on until they find a split, and they are unsure where to go. Pikachu uses his ears to try to find the way out, and finds it. They follow Pikachu and find a grate where they can escape. Ash kicks down the grate and apparently they aren't too far from the counter. Ash goes up to find the master key while May turns the power back on. Ash goes back and frees nurse Joy, now to find Professor Alden.

They get to the ruins just moments before Team Magma makes their escape on a helicopter, it looks like they're too late for them. They find Professor Alden unharmed fortunately. They ask him what happened and if everything is alright. He says everything's okay, nothing to worry about. Team Rocket behind a rock managed to snag the four orbs, and everything goes well until Wobbuffet makes a big scene. The gang notices them and Professor Alden notices they have the orbs! Ash tells Pikachu to Quick Attack them and soon enough Pikachu's attack knocks the orbs away from them. Finally Pikachu finishes them off with a Thunderbolt and send the Rockets away.

Professor Alden recovers the orbs and they all head inside the room. He places the orbs back into the wall/door and soon it glows. The light trails around through lines in in the room. The giant block moves, revealing stairs that lead down. They go down and find an underground lake. Soon enough a Relicanth jumps out of the water and they see that the lake is full of them. Satisfied, Professor Alden thanks the two for their work.

Back in the Pokémon Center, Joy gives May her Torchic back, who's all better. May releases Torchic, the fire chick jumping up to May happily. Now it's off to the next town...

'''Get the Show on the Road!''' (Japanese: '''新たなる大地! 新たなる冒険!!''' ''A New Land! A New Adventure!!'') is the first episode of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 21, 2002 and in USA on March 15, 2003 as part of a special preview. It was later broadcast in sequence on November 1, 2003.

In this episode, [[Ash]] finally arrives in the land of [[Hoenn]], at a port near [[Littleroot Town]]. But with a sick [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] in his hands, entering the Hoenn League is the least of his concerns. With no Pokémon Centers nearby, he calls up [[Professor Birch]] for help.

Meanwhile, [[May (anime)|May]], the daughter of the Petalburg Gym leader [[Norman]], heads towards Professor Birch's lab, so she can get her [[starter Pokémon]].
{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =

The episode starts off with May riding her bike heading to Littleroot Town. She's really excited since today is the day she has to visit Professor Birch to become a Pokémon trainer. A Duskull appears next to her and it spooks May out as she speeds off. But May loses control of her speed and zips down smack into a tree. However she continues on and stops at a cliff and sees Littleroot Town, knowing she's closer to becoming a trainer. Though, she admits that she doesn't really like Pokémon and is only interested in travelling.

Meanwhile on the ferry, Ash is worried about Pikachu. Then he thinks that perhaps there's a Pokémon Center in town and he could take Pikachu to Nurse Joy. On the upper deck, Team Rocket hears the call for Littleroot Town and wonders where they got to this time. Jessie seems rather happy to be here, it's Hoenn, new lands, a fresh start. Finally when the boat docks, Ash asks the port attendant where's the Pokémon Center. The attendant says that there isn't a Pokémon Center around, Ash feels defeated, but he remembers that Professor Birch might have some healing equipment. He calls Birch's residence, but with some bad timing as Birch's assistant says that he is doing field work but will notify him ASAP.

Ash waits on the bench, starting to feel a little relieved. A screeching of a car is heard after a long while and it's Birch. They ask if they are who they said to meet and Ash jumps into the van. Along the way, Pikachu gets a little wild and Professor Birch knows what's wrong, and knows it's serious. Birch says that Pikachu got an electric overload, sooner or later, Pikachu will overdo itself by releasing it. He drives the jeep through a forest and swiftly heads to his lab. When they get there, Birch's assistant informs that everything is set up and they go in. Birch hooks up the diagnosis equipment and his assistant turns it on. The electricity levels in Pikachu are surprisingly high, so high it causes the machine to explode. After the explosion, Pikachu makes his way out, and Ash follows. Birch takes his Pokémon and follows Ash and tells the assistant that if May comes, tell her to wait.

Ash runs around through the forest, trying to find Pikachu, but at this rate, it'll take a long time. Meanwhile May arrives at the lab and is given the message to wait. Despite that, she heads off saying she can find Professor Birch. While trying to find Pikachu, he slips on a cliff and lands smack down on a Poochyena. Professor Birch recovers from the pain, but is greeted the Poochyena is angry. He tries to calm it, but the two more Poochyena appear and they all start growling. Professor Birch remembers some growling patterns and figures out they're going to use Rage. As much as Birch would like to feel happy at his knowledge, he's soon chased down by the angry pack.

May luckily arrives at the scene and wonders what's with Birch as he's climbing a tree. Birch is grateful and tells May to get one of his Pokémon to get rid of the Poochyena. May opens the bag and takes a random one hesistantly. A Mudkip pops out and Professor Birch tells May to have it attack. May doesn't know what Mudkip knows, but Birch says to have it do Water Gun. May tells does so but Mudkip sprays her instead. The branch irch is on breaks and he ends up being chased again. He tells Mudkip to come down and the Pokémon does. As soon as Birch is behind Mudkip, the Pokémon fires a Water Gun, hosing down all the Poochyena.

Pikachu walks through the forest weakened, and hears Ash nearby. But he can't tell who it is and gets enraged, releasing a giant thunderbolt. Birch and May see it and Birch tells her that they should hurry there. At the site, everyone meets up and at the last moment see Pikachu run off. But where Pikachu is going, is straight down a cliff. Ash follows Pikachu and manages to catch him and a branch. Birch soon throws down a rope and tells Ash to grab on. Along the way, Pikachu starts trying to escape and eventually bites Ash's arm. Ash holds on tight, and soon Pikachu comes back to his senses. Ash soon makes it back on the cliff and is relieved.

However, Jessie gives the cue for James and Meowth to attack and a giant battery robot stomps in front of Ash. May and Birch ask who they are and Ash fills them in. They give their motto And zip into the robot. Meowth brags about this robot is the best battery yet, it can out last any other majorly. An arm shoots out and grabs Pikachu and brings him up. Then the robots arm's puts suction cups on Pikachu's cheeks and absorb the electricity. The battery charges up, which James and Meowth want, but Jessie points out that this is helping Pikachu less than harming him. Soon Pikachu is better and begins to shock the robot. While Ash Birch, and May are watching, May's bike gets fried by a stray bolt.

The robot explodes with the electric attack. And for some reason, Jessie still seems happy as they blast off. Pikachu lands down, but soon collaspes onto the ground. Everyone soon heads back into the lab.

At the lab, it looks like Pikachu is doing fine. May takes a peek, but bumps a pot over and everyone notices. She and Ash exchange introductions and they catch up with what's going on. Birch mentions that he has some Pokémon he needs to show to give to May. He first shows Treecko, which Ash asks if it's a water type, but Birch says it's a grass type. Treecko's stare gives Haruka the shivers though. Next is Mudkip, which Ash knows this has to be the water type. And lastly Torchic. While Birch is explaining, Torchic goes up to May and happily greets her. May then makes up her mind and goes with Torchic. Birch gives her a gift of six empty PokéBalls and a PokéDex. She makes a few comments about this, Birch wondering what she said before she tries to cover it up.

The next morning May gives a few frowns at her bike, but it can't do much good. She goes to find Ash and scold at him, but when she opens the door, she finds Ash still asleep. May softens up and watches as Ash mutters a few things in his sleep and Pikachu wakes up. Pikachu wakes up Ash and the two are happy, May says to herself that the bike can wait.

Outside May releases Torchic and Ash soon comes outside. May greets him and Pikachu hops off of Ash to meet Torchic. The two Pokémon soon play around, Ash commenting Pikachu sure can make friends with anyone. Birch and his assistant soon tell them that they have to go to Oldale Town's Pokémon Center to register for the league. May makes a few remarks about going alone. Then she purposely says she would, but Ash's Pikachu ruined her bike. (She doesn't realise how effective this is since Misty only got ''her'' bike back a few days previously.) May asks Ash if she could tag along with him, and Ash says okay. And soon they head off for Oldale Town.

* This episode was first aired on Kids WB as as a sneak peek in March 2003 when [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]] were released. The version that has aired since has a slight difference in May's introductory speech:
** Sneak Peek: "But just between you and I, what I'm more interested in is traveling and seeing new places." [screams as her bike goes down the hill]
** Regular version: "But just between you and me, what I'm more interested in is traveling and seeing new places. There it is, Littleroot Town, up ahead!" [screams as her bike goes down the hill]
* The only piece of music kept from the original is the new theme for Team Rocket's motto.
* While the original version does not feature [[Who's That Pokémon?]] from this episode, 4Kids keeps it before replacing it with [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] in ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You Get]]''.

'''Balance of Power''' (Japanese: '''トウカジム戦！五つ目のバッジ!!''' ''{{tt|Touka|Petalburg}} Gym! The Fifth Badge!!'') is episode 70 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 1, 2004 and in the United States on March 19, 2005.

It's finally time for Ash's fifth Hoenn Gym Battle and Max remains convinced that [[Norman]] will defeat Ash with his strong Pokémon.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =

[[Ash]] enters the [[Petalburg Gym]], ready for his battle against [[Norman]]. Norman tells him that he's been waiting for another fight with Ash ever since their [[AG003|last battle]], and Ash says he's more then willing to take Norman up on his offer! Watching from the sidelines [[May]] says she's excited to see how the match turns out. [[Max]] tells her that he already knows the outcome, their Dad is certain to win! [[Brock]] and [[Caroline]] tell him that he should just relax, and enjoy the match without worrying about the final result.

Outside of town [[Team Rocket]] begins construction on their new secret base. [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] says that after they finish building their base, [[Giovanni|The Boss]] will be certain to give them a promotion. With the thoughts of corporate credit cards as their motivation, all of Team Rocket, including [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Wobbuffet]] begin working.

Back at the Gym, [[Kenny]] announces the rules of the match. Each side will use three Pokémon, but only Ash is allowed substitutions. Raising his flags, Kenny signals for the match to begin and both Ash and Norman send out their first Pokémon. {{p|Slakoth}} for Norman, and [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] for Ash. Utilizing Pikachu's speed, Ash orders Pikachu to attack with [[Quick Attack]], Slakoth dodges and counterattacks with [[Shadow Ball]]. Jumping out of the way Pikachu attacks with [[Iron Tail]] but misses once again as Slakoth leans out of the way. Dizzied, Pikachu is unable to dodge Slakoth's [[Hidden Power]], and is blasted across the arena.

On the sidelines, Brock tells May and Max what kind of attack strategy their Father is using. He knew from watching Ash before that favored using Pikachu as an opener, using its powerful speed attacks to knock the enemy off balance and gain control of the battle. By using a slow Pokémon like Slakoth who could dodge Pikachu's attacks, Norman was forcing Ash to fight at his pace, giving him control over the match.

As Pikachu recovers from Hidden Power, Ash realizes that he needs to change his strategy. He decides to try electric attacks and orders Pikachu to attack with [[Thunderbolt]]. However Slakoth dodges this attack as well, and responds with [[Blizzard]]. The incredible cold keeps Pikachu from attacking back, so Ash recalls it and calls out [[Ash's Torkoal|Torkoal]] instead. Torkoal uses [[Flamethrower]], which easily blasts through Slakoth's Blizzard and scores a direct hit, knocking Slakoth out. With Slakoth out of commission Norman calls out his next Pokémon, {{p|Vigoroth}}! Dodging Torkoal's [[Overheat]], Vigoroth scores a one hit-KO with [[Scratch]]. With Torkoal fainted, Ash sends Pikachu back into the arena.

Brock explains to May and Max that by using the hyperactive Vigoroth right after the slow laid back Slakoth Norman is able to disorient his opponents and knock them off balance, as the skills necessary to defeat Vigoroth are completely different from those used against Slakoth.

Meanwhile Team Rocket continues construction on their new hideout. Yelling through a megaphone Meowth orders [[Jessie]] and [[James]] to work harder. They respond by dropping a box on him and telling him to help out too.

In the arena Vigoroth dodges a Thunderbolt from Pikachu and attacks with Scratch. Pikachu blocks the attack with Iron Tail, but is hit with a surprise attack when Vigoroth uses Flamethrower. Max says that its amazing that Vigoroth can use an attack like Flamethrower, causing Caroline to tell him that Norman is fighting Ash more seriously then he fights normal trainers. May says that Ash should substitute Pikachu, but Brock tells her that if he does that, his only reserve Pokémon will be the already injured Pikachu. He has no choice but to use Pikachu as long as possible. Sizing up Vigoroth Ash suddenly comes up with a plan. He orders Pikachu to use Quick Attack, dodging a Flamethrower from Vigoroth Pikachu closes the distance, Norman orders Vigoroth to use Stratch, but is surprised when Ash tells Pikachu to take the hit. Vigoroth's Scratch attack hits home, but the powerful Pokémon is suddenly paralyzed by Pikachu's innate [[Static]] [[ability]]. Seizing the opportunity Pikachu attacks with Iron Tail, knocking Vigoroth out. However the effort is too much for Pikachu and it passes out as well, resulting in a double-KO.

After removing Pikachu from the battlefield Ash and Norman send out their last remaining Pokémon, {{p|Slaking}} and [[Ash's Grovyle|Grovyle]]. Ash attacks first by ordering Grovyle to use [[Bullet Seed]], but Slaking easily blocks the attack with its arm, sustaining no damage at all. Grovyle attacks again with [[Leaf Blade]], but Slaking grabs it mid attack and tosses Grovyle back across the arena. Slaking begins to attack with [[Focus Punch]] but is stopped after Grovyle hits it in the face with Bullet Seed. The attack angers Slaking, who begins to go into a rage. It attacks with a powerful [[Earthquake]].

In their new hideout, Team Rocket feels the effects of Slaking's Earthquake, which rouses a group of nearby {{p|Dugtrio}}. Blaming the Dugtrio for the earthquake, Jessie kicks a rock at them. Angry, the Dugtrio begin to chase Team Rocket around their cave.

Meanwhile Grovyle dodges the Earthquake by jumping. It attempts a [[Pound]] attack, but Slaking grabs it in midair and tosses Grovyle into the ceiling. Grovyle counterattacks with Bullet Seed, but Slaking blocks with a powerful [[Hyper Beam]], which cuts through the Bullet Seed and sends Grovyle flying. Watching Grovyle struggle to its feet Norman suggests that Ash withdraw from the match, before Grovyle gets seriously injured. Ash begins to consider it, but stops when Grovyle indicates that it wants to keep fighting. Ash tells Grovyle to slow Norman what its made out of. Inspired by Ash's confidence, Grovyle activates its [[Overgrow]] [[ability]], which powers up its grass attacks.

Leaping back into combat, Grovyle dodges both an Earthquake and Slaking's clumsy attempts to grab it. It begins bouncing around the arena. Dodging a Hyper Beam Grovyle hits Slaking with a powerful Pound. Norman congratulates Ash for his recovery, but tells him that he'll need more then just speed to beat Slaking. He orders Slaking to attack with Focus Punch while Ash tells Grovyle to use Leaf Blade. The two attack each other at the same time, and after a moments pause, Slaking falls to the ground! Ash has won his fifth gym battle! Shocked at his Father's loss, Max can only stare in disbelief as Brock and May congratulate Ash on his victory.

Later, Norman presents Ash with the Balance Badge, however before he can give it away Max grabs it and runs away. Locking himself in the Gym's greenhouse, he tells everybody gathered outside that it was unacceptable for his Dad to lose the match. And that it's not ok for a trainer like his Dad to lose in a Pokémon battle. Norman tells him that losing is just as important as winning, and that sometimes life's most important lessons are learned through losing. Ash tells Max that he really doesn't need the badge, beating Norman in a fight taught him enough that he'd be satisfied without one. Touched by their words Max comes out and gives the badge back, but not before promising his Dad that they'll battle too, once he becomes a Pokémon trainer.

= Synopsis =

Arriving at [[Mt. Chimney]] on their way to [[Lavaridge Town]], [[Ash]], [[Brock]], [[May (anime)|May]], [[Max]], and [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] hop on a cable car for an easy trip up the mountain. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] also hop onboard, disguised as tour guides. On the ride up spy two large helicopters flying up the mountain, one colored red, the other blue. Unknown to everybody, these helicopters contain agents from [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], who have arrived on the mountain to obtain a special meteorite. A third person, [[Professor Cozmo]] is also on the mountain, searching for the meteorite to further his research. Using a special scanner he succeeds in locating it, moments before [[Tabitha]] appears, leading a group of Team Magma agents.

Tabitha demands that Prof. Cozmo hand over the meteorite, however he is distracted when [[Shelly]] appears with her own group of Team Aqua agents. The two groups begin to battle with each other, giving Prof. Cozmo the opportunity to escape. Noticing his disappearance a small group from both teams begin to pursue him down the mountain. Meanwhile, a small group of Team Aqua agents storm into the cable car control room and successfully overpower the workers. They shut down the cable cars, stranding both Ash's group and [[Team Rocket]] halfway up the mountain. Brock tries to use the emergency phone, but finds that nobody in the control room is responding. In the resulting panic, Jessie, James, and Meowth drop their facade as tour guides and reveal their true identities.

Realizing they're on their own, Ash takes a grappling hook from the cable car's storage bin and uses it to latch onto a nearby support tower. He begins to climb across the rope to the tower, but is nearly knocked off when Team Rocket tries to jump on as well. The ensuing scuffle causes the rope to snap, leaving Brock, May, Max, and Team Rocket stranded on the cable car, while Ash finds himself on the tower. He promises to come back with help, then climbs down the tower and begins to run up the mountain. Along the way he crashes into Prof. Cozmo, and realizes he's being pursued by Team Magma and Team Aqua. Higher up on the mountain, Team Aqua fights a losing battle, realizing they're outmatched, Shelly orders a tactical retreat. Letting them escape, Tabitha orders his group to head to the summit of the mountain so they can prepare for a test of some special equipment.

Introducing himself to Ash, Prof. Cozmo tells him that the meteorite is part of a large asteroid that fell from space. When Ash asks he says he has no idea why Team Magma or Team Aqua would want it, as it doesn't seem to have any special properties. Suddenly a {{p|Golbat}} comes swooping down and snatches the meteorite from Prof. Cozmo's hands. It flies to its trainer, a Team Magma member who orders his group to rendezvous with Tabitha at the mountain's summit. They depart, ignoring Ash and Prof. Cozmo. At the summit Tabitha receives a message about the meteorites recovery. Laughing he orders his men to start preparing the machine, a strange laser like device that points at the center of Mt. Chimney's volcanic cauldron.

Meanwhile, in the cable car, May and Max start to get hungry, Brock passes out sandwiches, and even shares some with a famished Team Rocket. Putting aside their differences for a moment, everybody sits down for a quick meal. Suddenly the cable car begins to shake, as the wind around the mountain starts to pick up. Everybody inside hangs on for dear life, Brock urges Ash to hurry up and save them.

Arriving at the summit, Ash and Prof. Cozmo watch as Team Magma sticks the meteorite into the laser, which they begin firing at the center of the volcano's lava flow. Prof. Cozmo speculates that the device will cause the volcano to erupt, which would deal untold damage to the surrounding area. Ash decides that the only way to stop the machine is to sneak up and snatch the meteorite from inside of it. With Prof. Cozmo providing a distraction, Ash approaches the machine and attempts to get the meteorite out of it. Finding it's protected by an electric lock, he has Pikachu use [[Thunderbolt]] in an attempt to overload the machine. It works, however the entire machine begins to go out of control. Looking back at the machine Tabitha notices Ash, recognizing him from their previous meeting he rushes down to stop him. At the last second Prof. Cozmo arrives and knocks him back. Realizing there's no time to get the meteorite out Prof. Cozmo shoves the entire machine, with the meteorite inside into the depths of the volcano. With their mission failed, Tabitha orders a retreat. On a nearby ridge Shelly watches their retreat, and orders Team Aqua to withdraw as well. Both sides conclude that even if they failed to secure the meteorite, at the very least they kept it out of their rivals hands.

Later, a rescued Brock, May, and Max thank Ash and Prof. Cozmo. Team Rocket attempts to nab Pikachu while they're distracted, but the sudden appearance of [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Wobbuffet]] causes the ledge they're standing on to break loose, sending them sliding back down the mountain. Waving goodbye to Prof. Cozmo, Ash and his friends head down the other side, towards Lavaridge Town.

'''Xatu the Future''' (Japanese: '''ネイティオのだいよげん！''' ''{{tt|Natio's|Xatu's}} Big Prediction!'') is episode 234 of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on January 31, 2002 and in the United States on February 8, 2003.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =

The episode starts off with Ash and company walking along a path towards Mahogany as usual. Just ahead of the road, Team Rocket is finished with creating yet another hole for the gang to fall into. They cover it up fast as soon as Ash is in sight and hide down in some brush that's nearby. Just as the gang walks up, Ash recalls all those times that an ordinary road turns out to be a pitfall trap. Ash jumps about, nothing happens, then tries again. Team Rocket watches and then jumps out, wondering why the pitfall's not working. James jumps on the ground a few times then all of a sudden, the whole ground caves in and they fall. Just at the bottom, Wobbuffet pops out and causes them to fall some more, right through a ceiling of a tunnel! They all complain here and there before seeing a woman run by. They wonder what's with her before the woman wonders what's with them. She says she has no time to talk now and has to hurry somewhere. The gang had started to go with the woman towards whatever she is going to.

In the next room of the unkown place was a colossal wire tower built with rings with giant spheres connecting them. Just about halfway, Ash notices a few Xatu perched up on one of the spheres. Ash scans the Xatu and then tries to call out to it, which nothing happens. Misty tries the same thing, then Team Rocket who happened to catch up tries as well. Lost the woman says that she's Calista, the meteorologist of this place, since the people here are superstitious over what the Xatu says. She calls to one and then she runs upwards towards an exit. Everybody else follows her and are amazed that the other side is a giant stone auditorium with a group of people sitting on the bleachers. The Xatu fly up towards a guardrail and Calista grabs out two fans, everybody else does the same. She shouts towards the people, doing different patterns with the fans. Soon the Xatu do similar patterns with their wings and that was it. Calista said there should be rain tomorrow, but otherwise the rest of the day is going to be fine.

Just one thing happens to occur, clouds start to gather around and it starts to rain. Funny... usually the Xatu are right all the time. Calista wonders what's wrong and decides to hold off this little gathering for a while as she runs back in. Everyone else does so and more Xatu join with them. However Team Rocket were ditched on this and everybody won't let them go. So Jessie plays them all a round of Rock-Paper-Scissors (Japanese style) and wins both that and the look-away part, with that they run off. On the bottom of the bunker is a station. Calista and everyone else goes in and watches as Calista sends out a radar to check out what's going on in the area. She explains that this is "Netio-sama", otherwise the last resort of the weather predictions. Even the radar can't scope out this odd storm.

Just after a while, Team Rocket continue their decent downwards until Wobbuffet again messes them up and they crash into the station. They wonder what's with all the technology and stuff and Calista explains that it's the radar system. Then Jessie tries to butt in saying that she was once a meteorologist for a news program. One of the Xatu gets all nervous at this brag. Then Jessie goes on and on until the Xatu faints from this. Then the Xatu says that he'll figure something out of this. So everybody runs back up.

Once back up, all the Xatu line up and Calista does a few more patterns with the fans. All the Xatu repeat and they go faster with each pattern. Soon she gets the idea, a disasters coming this way! She tells everyone to evacuate the area, and everyone does so, but they leave a something valuable behind. As everyone waits around, Delibird comes by and drops in on Team Rocket, giving them a reminder of what they have to do to stay as members. So they sneak over and try to swipe one of the valuable items but Ash catches them before they could do anything. Then Team Rocket stop playing good and starts to take on their real role. Jessie first tells Delibird to throw a couple of presents at them, which Delibird throws three to each Xatu, all healing them. With that, James sends out Weezing to use Smoke Screen while Delibird drops in a few more prensents. Just when it seems that all is taken care of, Weezing drops the screen and they are surprised to see that the Xatu are still there. Just before they can do anything else, Delibird drops a present next to them and then ditches them before it sends Team Rocket off into the sky.

The Xatu do one final pattern and Calista says they'll teleport away now before the disaster comes by. First the Xatu teleports then the gang and Calista teleport out as well. Just in the nick of time, a gian tidal wave comes through a valley where the place rests and covers the area. Though it's probably not much left, maybe Calista can now persuit her real goal, meteorologist for a news program. Later Team Rocket are at the ruins of the would be weather station looking for any of those valuables that the people left. Delibird comes by and says it's a no-no, and decides to fly off without them. And it looks like Calista really did get her goal.

'''An Egg-Sighting Adventure!''' (Japanese: '''めいたんていジュンサー！きえたタマゴのなぞ!!''' ''Famous Detective {{tt|Junsā|Jenny}}! The Mystery of the Egg that Disappeared!!'') is episode 229 of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 20, 2001 and in the United States on January 11, 2003.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =
[[Ash]] wonders how the egg this time will become. Obviously he thinks it might be something that's a powerful Pokémon and whatnot. It also seems like he's not the only one interested in the egg. Team Rocket spies on them, also daydreaming about what's inside the egg. Meowth thinks it might be a legendary Pokémon, like {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, or {{p|Moltres}}, but the others think that can't happen. Only one way to find out. Later some storm clouds start to form up, looks like a storm as Pikachu is getting excited. [[Brock]] says there's a Pokémon Center nearby here and they should get there as soon as possible. Their pace is decided when a bolt of lightning strikes nearby. It looks like that bolt hit Team Rocket's little master plan.

It starts to pour down and the gang runs for that Pokémon Center Brock mentioned. When they get there, they are greeted by [[Nurse Joy]], who then gives them a room. They decide to hit the hay and turn in. When the lights are out, Team Rocket just outside decide to make their way in. Meowth picks the lock on the outside door and they go in. Every so often Wobbuffet just comes in a makes a loud shout, which ends up getting him beaten down. Finally they make it to Ash's room, and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] picks that lock. They wonder how they can easily get the egg, so they hook up Meowth to a fishing pole. They sneak their way in, then Brock starts talking, except it's only in his sleep. Then they fuss over who gets credit for the egg. Through all this, Togepi wakes up, then starts a {{m|Metronome}}. Before the Rockets could finish, the egg teleports away just outside the center, leaving them baffled.
Then they notice [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Wobbuffet]], eating an apple. They forget about the egg and want to know where it got the food, which Wobbuffet points to a basket of fruit in the kitchen down the hall. Forget the egg, go for the food, however, they fall down while they run towards the room face flat. Later outside where the egg is teleported, a Kangaskhan joey walks to it, taps it a couple of times before its parent comes along. The Kangaskhan takes a look at the egg then puts it in its pouch along with the joey.
Ash is dreaming about the egg, only a lot larger. It begins to crack and open, breaking into another egg, and then it breaks into another, and it keeps going until there's nothing left. After that, Ash wakes up and walks over towards the table he set the egg, only to see it's not there. He looks around but nothing. Misty and Pikachu get up wondering what's going on, Ash tells them. Brock goes off talking in his sleep again, then Joy knocks on the door wondering what happened.

The next day, all of them wait outside for Officer Jenny to come by. Her car makes a near collosion rather swift stop and then Jenny comes out. Ash tells her about his missing egg and Jenny says she can solve this one right out, they don't call her the Great Police etective for nothing. A Chancey comes by to see what's going on and Jenny thinks maybe one of the Chancies has it. Joy checks them out and none of them do. Jenny tries another idea, she gets out her Growlithe and do some searching there. The Growlithe sniffs Ash to get his scent then he runs off. When the Growlithe finds something, it's just the casing.

They head back to check out the gang's room. Then Jenny notices Misty's Togepi. She gets another idea that it was Brock who stole the egg. She explains that Ash and Misty got an egg, but Brock never did. So late at night, he stole the egg while everyone was asleep. They believe her at first, but try to stop Jenny as she tries to get Brock out. Misty points out a few things on the doorknob before they leave. Scratch marks... Jenny then comes up with that Brock scratched the knob while he was picking the lock. Jenny continues to march off with Brock, but Joy says that there were also scratch marks on the knob on the outside door. Now it can't be Brock since he was inside the whole time.

Jenny decides to use her Jumpluff for another investigation. The Jumpluff sprinkles some pollen onto the floor, which shows the shoeprints. Jenny checks out everyone's shoes and starts to look around. Pikachu notices something, the shoeprints are way out of reach from the ones shown... Jenny has Jumpluff soon sprinkle the hallway. Jenny then comes up with a footprint. She then thinks it was Suicune that came in. Later on, they see four faces, those of Team Rocket... Team Rocket hears that while their still in the kitchen and the gang runs to the door. Team Rocket holds it steady but lets go as soon as everyone tries to tackle the door down and they run off.

They lose them at first, but not before finding their footprints in the road. They are soon stopped by a Kangaskhan. Brock tells everyone to look, because Ash's egg is in its pouch. Ash tells the Kangaskhan the egg is his, so the Kangaskhan sniffs it, then Ash and lets Ash take it. Jenny figures that when Team Rocket was running away with the egg, the Kangaskhan stopped them and fought them for the egg. Just as this little scene happens, Team Rocket swipe it for real with a hand in their balloon. Jessie sends out Arbok to try to stall them for a while but the Kangaskhan gives it a Dizzy Punch, sending it all the way back. Jenny calls out her Growlithe to Flamethrower the hand, which drops the egg. Ash runs up to catch and when he does, he tells Pikachu to let out a Thunderbolt, blowing up the balloon.

They thank the Kangaskhan afterwards for its help and later that evening, the gang sets off to Mahogany Town.

They forget about the egg and want to know where it got the food, which Wobuffet points to a basket of fruit in the kitchen down the hall. Forget the egg, go for the food, however, they fall down while they run towards the room face flat. Later outside where the egg is teleported, a Kangaskhan joey walks to it, taps it a couple of times before its parent comes along. The Kangaskhan takes a look at the egg then puts it in its pouch along with the joey.
Ash is dreaming about the egg, only a lot larger. It begins to crack and open, breaking into another egg, and then it breaks into another, and it keeps going until there's nothing left. After that, Ash wakes up and walks over towards the table he set the egg, only to see it's not there. He looks around but nothing. Misty and Pikachu get up wondering what's going on, Ash tells them. Brock goes off talking in his sleep again, then Joy knocks on the door wondering what happened.

The next day, all of them wait outside for Officer Jenny to come by. Her car makes a near collosion rather swift stop and then Jenny comes out. Ash tells her about his missing egg and Jenny says she can solve this one right out, they don't call her the Great Police etective for nothing. A Chancey comes by to see what's going on and Jenny thinks maybe one of the Chancies has it. Joy checks them out and none of them do. Jenny tries another idea, she gets out her Growlithe and do some searching there. The Growlithe sniffs Ash to get his scent then he runs off. When the Growlithe finds something, it's just the casing.

They head back to check out the gang's room. Then Jenny notices Misty's Togepi. She gets another idea that it was Brock who stole the egg. She explains that Ash and Misty got an egg, but Brock never did. So late at night, he stole the egg while everyone was asleep. They believe her at first, but try to stop Jenny as she tries to get Brock out. Misty points out a few things on the doorknob before they leave. Scratch marks... Jenny then comes up with that Brock scratched the knob while he was picking the lock. Jenny continues to march off with Brock, but Joy says that there were also scratch marks on the knob on the outside door. Now it can't be Brock since he was inside the whole time.

Jenny decides to use her Jumpluff for another investigation. The Jumpluff sprinkles some pollen onto the floor, which shows the shoeprints. Jenny checks out everyone's shoes and starts to look around. Pikachu notices something, the shoeprints are way out of reach from the ones shown... Jenny has Jumpluff soon sprinkle the hallway. Jenny then comes up with a footprint. She then thinks it was Suicune that came in. Later on, they see four faces, those of Team Rocket... Team Rocket hears that while their still in the kitchen and the gang runs to the door. Team Rocket holds it steady but lets go as soon as everyone tries to tackle the door down and they run off.

They lose them at first, but not before finding their footprints in the road. They are soon stopped by a Kangaskhan. Brock tells everyone to look, because Ash's egg is in its pouch. Ash tells the Kangaskhan the egg is his, so the Kangaskhan sniffs it, then Ash and lets Ash take it. Jenny figures that when Team Rocket was running away with the egg, the Kangaskhan stopped them and fought them for the egg. Just as this little scene happens, Team Rocket swipe it for real with a hand in their balloon. Jessie sends out Arbok to try to stall them for a while but the Kangaskhan gives it a Dizzy Punch, sending it all the way back. Jenny calls out her Growlithe to Flamethrower the hand, which drops the egg. Ash runs up to catch and when he does, he tells Pikachu to let out a Thunderbolt, blowing up the balloon.

They thank the Kangaskhan afterwards for its help and later that evening, the gang sets off to Mahogany Town.

'''Throwing in the Noctowl!''' (Japanese: '''とべホーホーごう！アサギをめざし!!''' ''Fly Flight {{tt|Hoohoo|Hoothoot}}! Head for {{tt|Asagi|Olivine}}!!'') is episode 223 of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 8, 2001 and in the United States on December 14, 2002.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =

The gang is just one city away from Olivine. Ash calls Janine to tell her that he's coming back to Olivine City. The gang heads out for the port, but it looks like again there's no ferry for a long while back to Olivine. Ash notices a old man fishing on the pier and asks him when the next ferry will come by. The response was obviously a no, but he does mention that there is a airport that'll take them to Olivine City. The gang decides on if they should go over there, but why not? Ash turns around to thank the old man, but oddly he's missing, or running off somewhere.

They get to the airport, which looks more like an abandoned airstrip. They check out the hanger, when an old pilot comes out of the door. They recognize that he was that fisherman from before. Of course, he'll give them a ride to Olivine City, but first a few things before they leave. The old pilot starts feeding a few Sandshrews in a barn, which there's a lot more Pokémon to feed. Then he just talks about his Hoothoot that he raised when he was younger. Except while he was talking, the gang was doing most of the work. They just wanted to get to Olivine as fast as they could.

So finally they got on board the plane, which seems a little shabby, but it works. In the cockpit's co-pilot seat was a sleeping Noctowl, which was really the old pilot's Hoothoot. It seems now the Noctowl doesn't do much, but sooner or later it wakes up. The old man tries to start up the plane, but the plane needs some refueling. Either way they take off and head back to Olivine.

After awhile in flight, a storm builds up. Of course, the old man still goes on course, thinking that he could outride any storm. But a little ways away was Team Rocket in their balloon. They seem to have trouble themselves and don't think they can handle the storm. Then they see the plane and start yelling for help. Ash notices Team Rocket's voices outside and looks back. The question would be, help them or not? In the end they help Team Rocket on to the plane, only under one condition, they have to say a bunch of "I know this was wrong" lines. Then Wobbuffet comes out and makes a hole in the plane. James still has a hold of the plane but everyone else is holding onto him.

The storm gets worse and soon one of the engines start to come off. If this happens then they'll crash right into the ocean. So Ash opens up the door and jumps out onto the side and climbs up to the top. He has a little trouble holding on so Brock sends out Crobat to help Ash. After Ash gets in a stable place, he sends out Bulbasaur to hold onto the loose engine. Now the other engine starts to come off, so Ash sends out Bayleef to hold that one in place. A while away from the plane, Jigglypuff floats by. Jigglypuff starts to head over to the plane. Just as things seem to get better, James spots Jigglypuff on the wing. Everyone starts to panic, except for the old man. Before anyone could stop Jigglypuff, she sings. Everyone falls asleep and as always, Jigglypuff gets angry, but before she could do anything, she gets picked up by another gust of wind.

Ash wakes up first, then everyone else, but without much control, the plane is headed straight for the ocean! The old man starts to go against the decent but the plane can shake it. Misty calls out Poliwhirl and Staryu, getting into good posistions and they squirt a water gun to the ocean, which picks them back up and into the sky. The storm grows progressively worse, now lightning starts to form up. At that minute, the Noctowl wakes up and then flies around the plane with a rope making a secure wrap around it and tugging it. Ash releases his Noctowl to help out the other one. In the back however, Team Rocket starts a little planning on how to get Pikachu, but is cut short when Wobbuffet again pops out, making the cover of the hole break through.

The lightning now is a little too close for comfort. Brock says that Pikachu's electricty can act as a lightning rod, in a sense. So Pikachu climbes up to the top of the plane and releases a Thunderbolt in the sky, which attracts the lightning to that spot. Soon all the lightning becomes unstable and explodes in the sky in a flash of light. After that, the old man seems to see a light shining in the distance, except it's level and their still in the air... or are they? He immediately pulls the plane upwards now noticing the plane is way too near the cliff near Olivine. They clear the cliff and they are now back to the Johto mainlan

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =

The gang stare upon a Pokémon center across a fairly large river. It seems to be popular for it's specialty of caring Water Pokémon. As they look, Pikachu notices something from the water, which a person in a full scuba suit holding a Goldeen comes out. The person speaks to and two Chansey come along with a fish tank. Given the sign, Nurse Joy is behind the suit. She puts the Goldeen in the tank and the suit opens up the top half part. Brock does the usual thing he does whenever he encounters a Joy. Misty seems to look up to her as well, because of the specialty of caring for Water Pokémon. Joy goes off mentioning her work to them, and gives a short admiration of Pikachu for a while.

Soon afterwards the Pokémon appear to be fighting, but in reality seemingly training or of some sort. They seem be using the same ability on one another. Team Rocket is spying on them a little ways, in a Tentacruel submarine. They plan to get the Pokémon in the center but is cut short when a Tentacruel mistaken them for another.

Brock gets out a book that has a story written by a Joy, but really it was written by the current Joy's grandmother. She explains that this place used to be a wasteland, inhabitable by anybody and that she was finding out the cause. Brock asks her to sign the book but Joy doesn't want to do so. Brock gets out another book written by a Joy, but that one was Joy's mother. She explains that she helped the Grimer and Muk that poisoned the area get out. But seemingly, enough with the small talk, just want to get business over with.

Meanwhile Team Rocket, still in their Tentacruel sub, finds their way into the Pokémon Center via a pipeline.

Pikachu gets a refresher from the healing machine and settles to Ash. Misty wants her Pokémon treated so she asks Joy if she would. Surprisingly, Joy backs away scared, leaving everyone puzzled. She goes off saying that she hates Water Pokémon quite a few times. So finally she explains about what happened. She was out with her mom looking over some Water Pokémon by the river in a boat. A Remoraid pops out and squirts her in the face for a while and Joy (younger one) falls into the water. Joy's mother tries to help but more Remoraid gather around and squirt Joy back up. Joy's Mother tries to tell her that it's alright, but Joy can't seem to get the fright out.

Joy can't seem to help out Misty and Misty is starting to get annoyed by that. But in the mean time, they go over to where most of the Water Pokémon are and take a look around. Scanning around are a Goldeen, Tentacool, few others and at the end, Gyarados, who seems to have a "neck" problem.. They are in separate tanks with a large pool in the middle. Misty shudders at Gyarados, but Ash likes Gyarados for its power. Joy agrees with Misty and they go on with that for a while. When all of a sudden, Team Rocket appears from the pool, fooling Ash with the Tentacruel disguises. They go off with their motto, being fancy and trying some water acrobatics. Finally they hop back in and attempt to grab Pikachu, but Pikachu dodges. So Team Rocket grabs Pikachu with the rest of the tentacles and try to go off, but Pikachu does Thunderbolt. Jessie and James start talking about how obviously this wasn't a good idea and Wobbuffet comes out, starting off a shock to all of them, blowing the sub up. A few pieces of debris fly one hitting Gyarados' tank, another hitting a valve opening to the outside. Team Rocket get flushed out along with Gyarados' water.

Gyarados starts writhing in pain for a while. Joy takes a stand and decides to help out Gyarados for now. She goes up but gets butterflies in her stomach, but she persists. She calms Gyarados down and the Chanseys get another cast for Gyarados and place it on. Soon afterwards, Joy collapses from the holding all that shock. Afterwards, Joy still says she doesn't like Water Pokémon, but as a Pokémon nurse, she has to try her best. Misty gives her some encouragement and the gang heads off to their destination.

'''The Kecleon Caper!''' (Japanese: '''カクレオンはどこにいる!?みえないポケモンにだいこんらん！''' ''Where's {{tt|Kakureon|Kecleon}}!? Huge Chaos created by the Invisible Pokémon!'') is episode 205 of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 5, 2001 and in the United States on August 17, 2002.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =

The scene starts out as usual, the gang walking along a road towards the next town. A blimp flies over them, but it's not any old blimp, it's a extraordinarily large blimp. They follow it to the airstrip where a lot of other people gathered around. A man informs to them that the blimp, the Blue May, is like a luxury cruise, and is an impressive 100 meters in length. The captain walks out but informs of any person with some knowledge of Pokémon treatment. More obvious Ash and the gang goes over to offer help.

They aboard the blimp, which seems to be more like a mansion hall room where Ash is taken. The captain introduces them two women, Madison and Alexa. Brock gets that love daze again and Misty knocks some sense in him. So onto business, Ash asks them what's wrong. The women explain that their Kecleons, Greeny and Reddy, (Greeny is a green Kecleon, Reddy is a purple Kecleon) are rather quite odd. Ash and the others wonder where they are, since the Kecleons are not with them. Madison speaks out and the two chameleon Pokémon appear from hiding from a vase next to them. They seem tired and lazily hop off the vase to the ground. Brock gives a quick examination and has a solution in a snap. He ruffles through his bag getting out some medicine, giving one to the Kecleons, then a piece of home-made Pokémon food. Both get an immediate result of being healthy again. Madison and Alexa thank them, sending both sometime afterwards to their room. They seem to go on the other things, such as admiring Pikachu and Togepi. (Brock butting in with Pineco)

Later Team Rocket plots on with another sly plan. They seem to want to hijack the blimp for their own recreational use. Just that when they get to the cockpit, they can't drive it. A lesson learned there when they used the blimp to get to Valencia Island. But they get another plan, why not just swindle some valuable stuff? They go on to search.

Ash and Misty start showing some more Pokémon to Madison and Alexa. Brock almost releases Onix, but Misty stops him, obviously it won't be a good thing here. Team Rocket finds Madison and Alexa's room and start to work their way into finding anything. Meowth hits a jackpot, finding the women's jewelry box. Greeny snatches it with his tongue and keeps it in his mouth. Team Rocket soon dog-piles him and tries to get the box out. An attendant comes in the room with caviar for the chameleons seeing Team Rocket trying to pry open Greeny's mouth. Greeny jumps out during a slight pause and cloaks. Both Kecleon run out but accidently bump into each other on the way. Team Rocket zips out afterwards, leaving the attendant confused.

Soon the gang gets the warning that the Kecleon are missing, as usual, Ash is up to the job. Team Rocket dresses up as attendants themselves to sneak by the blimp.

Ash and the others walk down a metallic hallway, Pikachu noticing a funny red zigzag on the wall. They search out a dining hall and Pikachu notices another funny red zigzag, but it moves slightly. Pikachu informs Ash and Greeny show himself, running off afterwards.

Team Rocket finds a storage and looks in there, finding Reddy. They get Reddy to open his mouth but it's just a med-kit! But close enough, Meowth starts daydreaming about being "top-cat". Greeny runs by and they notice but soon here the gang approaching. Reddy and Greeny run off and Team Rocket dives into a crate. The gang walks in, doing another skim around the room, Ash sitting on the box Team Rocket's in. Soon they see the Kecleons run by again and they run after them. Wobbuffet unintentionally gets released, breaking the box.

Soon they head outside the blimp, seeing Greeny up on the balloon. Brock goes off being heroic and goes after him, showing off some ninja-like moves. He gets to the top and attempts to reach Greeny but Greeny crawls slightly away. Frustrated, Brock jumps onto the balloon itself. Greeny simply climbs up, but Team Rocket has caught sight of him and runs off. Greeny stops at a steep part, which makes Team Rocket slip off the balloon.

The two Kecleon soon meet and climb down and run into the airport terminal, the gang, Madison, and Alexa giving the chase. They decide to split up to cover more ground. Meanwhile Greeny and Reddy run into Team Rocket in another stoarge room. Just when things seem hopeless, they start tossing their contents in their mouths back and forth very fast, Reddy ended up with the box. Team Rocket couldn't tell, but James tries a little explanation, which gets them no where. Brock walks around daydreaming what the reward might be for getting Greeny and Reddy back when suddenly, both of them are right there! He chases after them for a while before meeting up with Ash and Misty. They chase them back outside and both get caught in a barrier of people. Just when all seems to be a perfect ending, Team Rocket busts in to ruin the day.

The battle soon starts off, Bayleef vs. Arbok. Bayleef gets a miss with Vine Whip and Arbok counters with tackle, Poliwhirl goes with a comeback. James releases Victreebel, as usual it tries to eat him. James tells it to use Razor Leaf and it does so towards them. Greeny and Reddy get into battle and deflects the leaves with a Tail-Whip. Greeny uses a Lick attack on Arbok, which also releases the jewelry box. Meowth goes after it, but Poliwhirl slaps it silly with a Double Slap. Reddy does a Lick attack to Victreebel and soon both Kecleon use Psybeam to push the two Pokémon back to their owners. Bayleef makes another Vine Whip and tosses them out into the sky.

The blimp takes off soon afterwards and the gang goes off to Olivine, their next destination.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =
[[Ash]] and the gang are returning to the [[Johto]] mainland. Ash boasts about getting his new badge, but [[Misty]] is dreaming about all the Water Pokémon in the ocean and how she wants to be a "Water Pokémon Master".

The ferry comes across a whirlpool. The gang becomes scared as they see a lot of whirlpools. However, two attendants on the ferry offer them drinks and assure them that it's all right, as they pass through the sea of whirlpools harmlessly (though they look oddly familiar). The gang looks over the rail to see the ship really passing by without trouble. Meanwhile, the attendants are talking to each other and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] appears, thus giving away the fact that the "attendants" are [[Team Rocket]]. James gets a net out and then he tries to snag Pikachu. However, a bump makes Ash lean over towards Pikachu's place and Ash ends up getting caught. Realization dawns on Ash and the gang that Team Rocket are up to no good, as usual. In a funny twist, Meowth imitates Wobbuffet at the end of the motto. Jessie and James release their usual picks (Arbok and Weezing) and use their usual attacks (Poison Pin and Smog, respectively). Ash tries to end it quickly with Pikachu using Thunderbolt. However, Jessie has Wobbuffet use Mirror Coat to deflect the attack, thereby causing a massive surge that sends everyone (Team Twerp and Team Rocket) overboard.

Ash and the gang break the surface, but then are horrified to realize that they're being separated from each other by the whirlpools! Misty doesn't panic as she pulls out Goldeen and Poliwhirl; Ash gets out Totodile. They start to make progress getting away from the whirlpool but soon they get dragged in as easily! Just when they are about to get sucked in... something happens. They stopped being dragged in! While floating in the water, they notice a mysterious looking shadow and hear a strange call. A Pokémon comes after them shortly: a {{p|Corsola}}! The Corsola races towards them then circles around them. Misty wonders what's going on. Soon they are picked up by some tentacles, or possibly a Tentacruel, and soon taken towards a boat. Misty seems to be enjoying herself, but the others seem quite afraid. The Corsola jumps up to [[Professor Elm]], who just happens to be on board.

Professor Elm and Ash spend some time catching up, and Misty admires the Professor's Corsola. He takes a few minutes to explain to Misty about Corsola and its abilities. The captain comes down saying that they'll get to the mainland soon, and he gets to know the others. When they do arrive, Misty still is going on about Water Pokémon. Professor Elm suggests that they should enter the [[Whirl Cup]] League. Obviously, Ash and Misty are up for it, Ash because of his desire to battle and win, and Misty because of (in her opinion) the ideal Pokémon to use, water types. They decide to go to the Pokémon Center for more information. Meanwhile, Team Rocket wash ashore and talk about their next plan.

[[Nurse Joy]] hands them a guide book and talks about the Whirl Cup for a while. Then Elm's Corsola jumps out and heads off. Misty asks what the Pokémon was doing and Elm replies saying that Corsola loves pools. Misty goes over towards the pool, admiring and observing the Corsola. Elm then shows the map of how the Whirl Cup league works. The Whirl Islands map is similar the [[Orange Islands]]. The Whirl Islands consist of five islands. The first island is near to the mainland, and is easily accessible by boat. Professor Elm offers to take Ash and the gang to the first island on his boat.

On the boat, Elm notices a balloon heading towards them. It's Team Rocket's balloon! They balloon drifts towards the Pokémon Center and they release a net and swipe all the Pokémon in the pool! Ash tells Pikachu to go after them but Misty stops him. Instead, Misty releases {{p|Staryu}} to battle Team Rocket. Jessie calls out Arbok, which swims towards Staryu. Staryu starts off with a Swift attack, and this hits Arbok, which counters with its own Poison Pin attack. The Arbok's attack is also successful, and it poisons Staryu. Misty recalls Staryu but before she can release another Pokémon from her team, but Psyduck comes out instead! {{p|Psyduck}} bravely jumps into battle, but has trouble swimming and Misty recalls it. Ash finally gets a chance to fight and Pikachu attempts a Thunderbolt, but James gets out a net launcher and fires it, snagging Pikachu! With Misty and Ash both defeated, Corsola jumps into the water, ready for battle. Elm tells her to do a Tackle attack, however, James releases Weezing and Weezing does a Sludge attack. Corsola manages to dodge all the Sludge attacks and then eventually Tackles Arbok high up in the air, near the balloon. Elm then tells her to execute Spike Cannon. Corsola jumps up out of the water and then fires numerous spikes towards the balloon, cutting up the nets and the balloon, sending Team Rocket blasting off and freeing the other Pokémon.

All's well that end's well, and Misty is still as crazy about Water Types as ever. She seems to want to capture a Corsola badly. The gang soon heads off to the first city of Whirl Island to start off the Whirl Cup!

Jigglypuff (anime)

2007-11-13T21:37:03Z

CRtwenty: /* In the games */

[[Image:Jigglypuff_happy.jpg|thumb|right|Jigglypuff in a good mood.]]
'''Jigglypuff''' (Japanese: '''プリン''' ''Purin'') is a [[wild Pokémon]] which appears multiple times in the [[Pokémon anime]]. It is voiced by かないみか ''[[Mika Kanai]]'' in Japanese, and [[Rachael Lillis]] in English.

Jigglypuff's first appearance was in ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]'', where it was first seen standing on a stump. [[Misty]] tried to capture it with her [[Misty's Staryu|Staryu]], but decided otherwise when she learned that the Jigglypuff couldn't use {{m|Sing}}. After a failed attempt by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] to capture Jigglypuff, Ash and his friends attempted to restore its voice, succeeding when [[Brock]] gave it a piece of fruit which soothed its throat. It performed Sing for them, putting everyone within hearing range to sleep. This upset Jigglypuff, and it went into [[Ash|Ash's]] backpack and pulled out a marker, which it used to draw on the faces of everyone who fell asleep. When Ash and his friends awoke again, Jigglypuff was still unhappy, so they attempted to find someone who could listen to its song without falling asleep. This eventually resulted in having Jigglypuff perform for [[Misty's Psyduck|Psyduck]] who was asleep with it's eyes open. Then it sang for all the people in [[Neon Town]], putting the whole town to sleep. It then ran around Neon Town to draw on ''everyone's'' faces.

It appeared in the next episode, and many other episodes to come, following Ash and always looking for opportunities to Sing on a stage or for a crowd. It seems to have a desire to become a Pokémon diva of some sort, but currently its primary goal is to find someone who can listen to its song the whole way through. It came close to achieving this goal in ''[[AG039|A Pokéblock Party!]]'' when it met a {{p|Whismur}} who could block the effects of the song with {{a|Soundproof}}, though the friendship between the two was short lived because the Whismur ended up passing out from exhaustion, making Jigglypuff think it had fallen asleep from Sing.
[[Image:TheSongofJigglypuff.gif|left|thumb|[[Misty]] with Jigglypuff]]
Whenever someone falls asleep because of Jigglypuff's song, it is guaranteed they will have doodles drawn on their face with Jigglypuff's marker, but they will also generally wake up in a better mood than when they fell asleep. The full power of its song was proven in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', when Jigglypuff awoke a [[Giant Pokémon|giant Jigglypuff]] (who is called by one character the pun name "Bigglypuff") who was able to put two giant fighting Pokémon, Gengar and Alakazam, to sleep. It then pulled out a paintbrush and painted all over the Gengar and Alakazam's bodies, much like what the regular-sized Jigglypuff would do with its marker.

Besides its marker, Jigglypuff also has a voice-changing microphone which it picked up in ''[[EP054|Case of the K-9 Capers]]'', but it has yet to use it. It is assumed that this item was intended to be used again in a different plot and then forgotten, much like the [[GS Ball]].

Jigglypuff appears only once in [[Advanced Generation]], in episode ''[[AG039|A Pokéblock Party!]]''. It has not appeared in [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]], except in the form of a karaoke mike in ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'', which had a miniature Jigglypuff on it complete with its own tiny marker. While ''a'' Jigglypuff appeared in ''[[AG138|Rough, Tough Jiggypuff]]'', it was not this same Jigglypuff, having a different Japanese voice, different properties of its Sing attack, lacking a marker, and being able to use {{m|Flamethrower}}. Based on how scarcely it is seen at this point, the Jigglypuff which followed Ash through a large portion of his journey may have faded from the anime cast completely.

==Moves used==
*{{m|Sing}}
*{{m|Pound}}
*{{m|DoubleSlap}}

==In the games==
A Jigglypuff which may be this same Jigglypuff appears in the [[Pokémon Island Cave|Cave]] area of [[Pokémon Snap]]. It and two other Jigglypuff are being harassed by a trio of {{p|Koffing}}. They leave after being saved, but return at the end of the course to Sing for the camera at the very end of the course. The center most one uses the anime Jigglypuff's marker as a 'microphone', and inflates itself in anger in the same manner if the [[Poké Flute]] is played over its Singing.

Also in [[Pokémon Yellow]], there is a Jigglypuff at the [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center. If it is interacted with, it will sing its song, which will put {{p|Pikachu}} to sleep. Pikachu will remain where it is standing until the player leaves the center. [[Nurse Joy]] will note the sleeping Pikachu if she is spoken to.

Jigglypuff is also present at the center in [[Pokémon Red and Blue]], and by extension, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]], although its song has no effect whatsoever. This may be because, unlike in Yellow, all six of the player's Pokémon are inside [[Poké Ball]]s.

The same Jigglypuff is also present in [[Pewter City|Pewter]] center in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] and [[Pokémon Crystal]]. However, it doesn't sing its song in those games.

'''Brock''' (Japanese: '''タケシ''' ''Takeshi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pewter City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Pewter Gym]]. He hands out the [[Badge#Boulder Badge|Boulder Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat him. He specializes in training {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon.
==In the anime==
[[Image:Brock-anime1.jpg|left|thumb|Brock in the original series]]
In the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], Brock is a [[Pokémon Breeder]] who is a [[Ash's friends|close friend]] and traveling companion of [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]]. His Japanese voice actor is うえだゆうじ ''[[Yūji Ueda]]'', and his English voice actors are [[Eric Stuart]] ([[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub) and [[Bill Rogers]] ([[Pokémon USA|PUSA]]/[[TAJ Productions|TAJ]] dub). Some notes on official sketches of his character set his age at 15 at the start of the series.

He originally trained [[Rock (type)|Rock-type]] [[Pokémon]], but has, since [[EP006|the second episode he appeared in]], diversified. He is an experienced cook and caretaker by nature, so he always makes scrumptious food both [[Pokémon food|for Pokémon]] and for humans. One of his best known character traits is that he falls in love with every pretty woman he meets, particularly [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. He has always held a supporting role in the series, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action and [[Pokémon battle|battles]] of the series.

Early on, he showed that he carries around a [[Badge#Boulder Badge|Boulder Badge]] for identification. He also has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Kanto]] region, though he only used it once, as well as one for [[Hoenn]] which was required to watch a contest there. He should still have a [[Poké Ball#Generation II Poké Balls|Heavy Ball]], given to him by [[Kurt]] [[EP144|back in Johto]], but this has apparently been forgotten.

Brock has had two notable musical appearances. One is the Japanese ending theme タケシのパラダイス ''[[Takeshi's Paradise]]'', which is about his love for women and his determination to find love despite often appearing foolish and getting heartbroken. There is a running joke about him singing this song often in the anime, since it's the only song he knows. The other is the [[Pokémon Karaokémon]] song ''[[Two Perfect Girls]]'', which is about his love of both Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy.

===Appearance===
[[Image:TakeshiAG.png|thumb|right|Brock in the Advanced Generation series]]
[[Image:Brock with his eyes open.GIF|thumb|left|200px|Brock with his eyes open.]]
Brock's most notable feature about his appearance is that his eyes naturally appear closed. The rare times we see them open are when they are forced open unnaturally: from a hit with [[Ash's Charizard|Charmander]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}} in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', when being hit in the back of the head by [[Jessie's Arbok|Arbok's]] tail in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', and when he makes a face for {{p|Larvitar}} in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''.

He also has tan skin, notably darker than the skin of any other major character in the series. Because of these traits, there is a heated debate about what race Brock is, as many think he may be black, Latino, or Asian.

Brock is the tallest of [[Ash's friends]], and the closest to looking like an adult. Next to actual adult characters, however, it is clear that he is still a teenager.

Not counting temporary outfits, he has worn [[List of clothing in the anime|three different outfits]] over the span of the anime, all of which have had the colors orange, green, and brown in them.

===Character===
Brock is considered the most mature, wise and level-headed of the main characters, and he is debatably the most intelligent character as well. He often acts as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before him and will help and support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. While he is not shown to battle often, he can understand the situations and strategies in any [[Pokémon battle]], and often explains them to the other characters, probably due to the fact that he was once a [[Gym Leader]]. His wisdom is possibly derived from how observant he is; he can tell just by sight how a Pokémon is feeling and spot the differences between the various [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]].

Brock always carries books and maps with him, and thus is usually the character who knows where the group is headed and what they can do when they get there, though in [[Advanced Generation]] this role was mostly taken over by the [[PokéNav]]. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as [[potion]]s and cookware, as well as practical tools like a brush and pocket knife; in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', the extent of his preparedness and comically large capacity of his [[bag]] was demonstrated, as he pulled out a table and full tea set out of his backpack. He is a domestic, and grooms not only his Pokémon but also those of his friends with whom he travels. He handles all the cooking and cleaning for his friends.

Despite this, all his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman, as he falls in love with every pretty girl he meets. Brock has a desperate need for female companionship which grows worse as he fails to gain it. He will do anything and everything he thinks will impress women, which inevitably ends with his heart being broken every time. A few women have shown interest in him as well, such as [[Wilhemina]], [[Temaku]] and [[Pike Queen Lucy|Lucy]], but most do not notice him or are not interested. No matter how many times he is disappointed, though, Brock remains determined to find a girl to start a relationship with, and has indicated several times he would stop traveling with Ash and stay with the girl if this happened. This behavior tends to wear on the nerves of other characters, and [[Misty]] and [[Max]] have both commonly dragged Brock away from women by his ear. Some of Brock's own Pokémon, most notably [[Brock's Croagunk|Croagunk]], have attacked him for getting too flirtateous with women.

His goals have played a passive role at best in his character's activity and development. Unlike other characters, who aspire to achieve and excel in competitive fields like [[Pokémon training]] and [[Pokémon contest]]s, his aim to become a great Pokémon Breeder is a quiet one and thus does not get showcased frequently. His other goal, to find a girlfriend, is similar to [[Team Rocket]]'s quest to capture [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] in that both are for comedy and thus doomed to fail. His role has always been purely one as support for other main characters, but some fans find this disappointing and want him to take a more active role in the series to make his character more interesting.

===History===
[[Image:TakeshiDP.png|left|thumb|Brock in the Diamond and Pearl series]]
Not much is known about his early childhood, except that his first Pokémon was his [[Brock's Steelix|Onix]], which he received as a gift at the age of 10. Sometime after, his father, [[Flint (anime)|Flint]], left home to become a great [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]]. When he never returned, his mother, [[Lola]], left them as well, leaving Brock to take care of [[Brock's siblings|his siblings]], as well as their house and [[Pewter Gym]], by himself (though the English version of ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' has Flint claim she died, and some speculate he was lying). However, Flint eventually returned home considering himself a failure, and instead of returning to his family he donned a disguise and sold rocks as souvenirs at the edge of town. After Brock awarded Ash the Boulder Badge, Flint came forward and confessed who he was. Flint took on the responsibilities of the Pewter Gym and his family, leaving Brock free to journey with Ash and [[Misty]].

Brock only became the Gym Leader because he felt it was his responsibility, and he admitted to Ash that he would rather care for Pokémon than battle them. It is his dream to become a great breeder, and when Flint took back control of the Gym, Brock was allowed to start following this dream. Most notably, he took care of a [[Brock's Vulpix|Vulpix]] that belonged to a breeder named [[Susie]]. Shortly before Vulpix was returned, Brock used it in a [[Pokémon Beauty Contest]].

Brock was also able to meet and make advances towards the many beautiful women he met. At first, he was more casual about approaching women, such as the [[Officer Jenny]] in [[Cerulean City]], and more modest as well, such as when he met [[Melanie]]. However, he became more open and passionate towards almost all single young women as time progressed.

Brock briefly left the show during the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands saga]] to work for [[Professor Ivy]] on [[Valencia Island]] and so is only seen in a couple of cameos in the [[Pokémon 2000|second movie]]. While there, something happened that will probably remain secret as Brock will only huddle and say "that name" whenever he is asked about it. (Brock does mention his work for her in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', though this line was added in the dub.) After this incident, Brock returned to Kanto where he was found by [[Delia Ketchum]], who helped him to regain his strength. Brock then became a rival to [[Mimey]] until he rejoined Ash and Misty as the three traveled to [[Johto]]. They stayed together for the entire region, but at the end of this journey, the three went their separate ways, with Brock's help requested at home by his father.

Upon his return home, Brock was dismayed to find that his mother had returned and commandeered the gym, turning the Rock-type haven into a brightly decorated {{t|Water}}-type den. Brock battled her for the honor of Rock-types and won, promising his brother [[Forrest]] that he would become Gym Leader someday.

After that, Brock returned to follow Ash through [[Hoenn]], along with their new friends [[May (anime)|May]] and [[Max]], and then through Kanto again as Ash took on the [[Battle Frontier]]. He left extremely briefly when the Advanced Generation dissolved to visit his home, and is now traveling with Ash and [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]] in [[Sinnoh]].

Brock is among the longest-lived main characters in the anime, only being absent from the Orange Islands season and thus ranked under only the permanent characters of [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]], [[Jessie]], [[James]], and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]]. Because of this, some fans believe he is too worn-out as a character and should be removed from the cast. Others believe he has established himself as a permanent character of the main cast, and do not see him being removed from the cast any time in the near future.

==In the games==
[[Image:Sugimoribrockoriginal.png|thumb|Art of Brock from [[Pokémon Red and Blue]]]]
Brock's title is "The Rock-Solid Pokémon Trainer". Brock is quite proud of his rock-hard willpower, and uses Rock-type Pokémon to complement this.

Brock is one of the few truly serious professional Pokémon trainers in the Pewter City area. He's tough, people respect him, and most admire him. Supposedly, it's hard to get him to laugh or drop his serious demeanor, but when he does, he can't stop.

Brock likes to dig for [[fossil]]s in [[Mt. Moon]], which is possibly how he ended up getting a {{p|Kabutops}} and {{p|Omastar}} in [[Generation II]].

In each game, there is only one other trainer in his gym: a [[Camper]], whose name is Jerry in [[Generation II]] and Liam in [[Generation III]]. This trainer usually isn't devoted to the Rock-type, and may use pure {{t|Ground}}-type Pokémon like {{p|Sandshrew}} and {{p|Diglett}}.

In addition to the Boulder Badge, Brock gives out [[TM34]] for {{m|Bide}} in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}. In their [[Generation III]] remakes, he gives out [[TM39]] for {{m|Rock Tomb}} instead. In [[Generation II]], he doesn't give out a [[TM]]. In both the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, one trainer will not allow for trainers to pass onto [[Route 3]] until they have defeated Brock. Instead, when trainers try to leave, he will lead them all the way back to the Pewter Gym.

===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
Since the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] is based heavily on the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], Brock's appearances in it are mostly comparable to his anime appearances. However, he is not constantly traveling with Ash in the manga.

In [[DP01-04|Haunting My Dreams]], there are hints about him being [[MangaShipping|in a relationship]] with [[Sabrina]].

==In the TCG==
There is a [[Theme Deck]] named for Brock in the {{TCG|Gym Heroes}} expansion. It has two versions, [[Brock (TCG)|English]] and [[Brock (TCG - Japan)|Japanese]].

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Brock|39}} appears as a rare trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Trivia==
*Most official sources do not give Brock a last name. However, several sources suggest that in the anime, his last name is Harrison. In the July 2006 issue of [[wp:K-Zone|K-Zone]] Magazine, [[Eric Stuart]] was interviewed and stated that Brock's last name is Harrison.
*Brock has the most airtime out of all of Ash's companions, being present in every season except for the [[Orange Islands]] saga.
*In the anime, Brock's house is located directly behind the Pewter Gym. His room is only seen briefly in [[AG034]], but what is seen of it shows that it is decorated in a traditional Japanese style, including [[wp:fusuma|fusuma]], a [[wp:tansu|tansu]] chest, and a [[wp:futon|futon]] for a bed.
*Brock owns two {{t|Poison}}-type Pokémon, [[Brock's Crobat|Crobat]] and [[Brock's Croagunk|Croagunk]], whose names both start with ''Cro-''.
*Brock is currently the only main character of the anime with {{t|Steel}}-type Pokémon, owning two, [[Brock's Steelix|Steelix]] and [[Brock's Forretress|Forretress]]. If [[Dawn's Piplup]] reaches its final form, however, this will no longer be the case, as {{p|Empoleon}} is {{t|Water}}/{{t|Steel}}.
*For [[DP007]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Brock. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about him: ポケモンに　つくしてそだてる　ブリーダー ''Pokémon ni tsukushite sodateru Burīdā'' "The breeder who raises and devotes himself to Pokémon."
*Brock is the fourth main character to own a Pokémon hatched from an egg. The first, of course, was [[Misty]] with [[Misty's Togetic|Togepi]] and [[Misty's Azurill|Azurill]], the second was [[Ash]] with [[Ash's Donphan|Phanpy]], and the third was [[May (anime)|May]] with [[May's Eevee|Eevee]].
*Brock is one of two of [[Ash's friends]] who has had their father make an appearance in the anime. The other is May. Coincidentally, both fathers are Gym Leaders.
*Brock captured a new Pokémon sooner after his debut than any other main character, even Ash, by capturing {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} in [[EP006]]. Comparatively:
**Ash made his first capture in [[EP003]] (debut [[EP001]] - 2 episodes)
**Dawn made her first capture in [[DP009]] (debut [[DP001]] - 8 episodes)
**May made her first capture in [[AG014]] (debut [[AG001]] - 13 episodes)
**Tracey made his first capture in [[EP097]] (debut [[EP084]] - 13 episodes)
**Misty made her first capture in [[EP019]] (debut [[EP001]] - 18 episodes)
*A common mistake among fans is the belief that Brock once caught a {{p|Tauros}} in the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] in ''[[EP035|The Legend of Dratini]]''. However, he caught it with one of Ash's [[Poké Ball#Generation I Poké Balls|Safari Balls]], so the Tauros is actually one of [[Ash's Tauros]].
*Brock's Advanced Generation and Diamond & Pearl stock art (both of which are seen in the anime section of this article) use the same pose, changing only his outfit.
*Brock has been shown to be able to identify when women are really crossdressing men in disguise by having a peculiar lack of attraction to them. A significant exception to this is Ash, who in the guise of [[Ashley]] was able to slip through Brock's radar by being disguised as a woman younger than he would be attracted to.
*Brock has owned four Pokémon [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|whose evolutions debuted in a different generation]] than that Pokémon. ({{p|Golbat}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, and {{p|Happiny}}). Of the four, three of them have evolved.

= Synopsis =

On their way to [[Verdanturf Town]], [[Ash]] and his friends encounter some construction in the middle of the road. One of the workers kindly points them towards a detour, but when they start to follow it, they fall into a cleverly disguised pitfall trap. Leaping to the edge of the pit, the construction workers reveal themselves as [[Team Rocket]], and try to grab [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] with a fishing pole. However [[James]] pulls a a little too hard, and winds up catching not only Pikachu, but Ash and his friend as well! Free from the pit, Ash calls out [[Ash's Torkoal|Torkoal]] who begins to battle with [[Jessie]]'s [[Jessie's Seviper|Seviper]] and [[James' Cacnea]]. Trying to help out, [[May]] orders her [[May's Skitty|Skitty]] to attack, but fails when Seviper tackles it away, causing it to fall into a plume of Torkoal's smoke. Leaping to the rescue, [[Brock]] calls out [[Brock's Mudkip|Mudkip]], who blows Team Rocket away with a powerful [[Water Gun]] attack. Rushing over to her injured Skitty, May realizes that it has lost its voice. Brock suggests they go find a [[Pokémon Center]] so after a brief glance at [[Max]]'s map, they begin to walk towards the nearest city, [[Foothill Town]].

Upon arriving, they discover that Foothill Town lacks a Pokémon Center, so May is forced to take Skitty to the next best thing, a Pokémon Clinic. At the clinic they meet [[Dr. Abby]], a Pokémon Doctor who specializes in alternative medicine for Pokémon. A quick massage treatment brings Skitty back to its playful self, much to May's relief. Dr. Abby says that she's especially good at treating Skitty's, since she used to own one herself. Hearing this, May realizes that she's none other then the legendary [[Pokémon Coordinator]] Abby, who won an upstart victory at the Hoenn [[Grand Festival]] using her Skitty. Dr. Abby tells May, that after winning the Grand Festival, she went on a journey with Skitty. However after Skitty was seriously injured in a Pokémon battle, she took it to a Pokémon Clinic for treatment. Impressed with skill of the doctor who had helped her, she decided to stay and learn how to treat Pokémon herself, and was eventually able to become a skilled Doctor in her own right. As a reward for her efforts, right before she left to found her own clinic, the doctor gave her a [[Moon Stone]], which she used to turn her Skitty, nicknamed "Johnny" into a {{p|Delcatty}}. At May's request she invites everybody into her backyard so they can meet Johnny.

A short distance away, Team Rocket spies on the "twerps" as they meet Johnny. [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] suggests that they steal both May's Skitty and Johnny and present them to [[Giovanni]] as a gift, since they'd be a complete evolution set. James says that a complete {{p|Eevee}} evolution set would be better, but agrees to help out after Meowth reminds them that there aren't any Eevees nearby.

Back in the clinic, Dr. Abby teaches May's Skitty how to juggle using its [[Doubleslap]] attack to hit balls with its tail. After a bit of practice, May finds that Skitty can juggle up to two balls with her. Suddenly Team Rocket enters in disguise, carrying a heavily bandaged Meowth. They ask Dr. Abby to treat Meowth, and while she's distracted quickly collar both Skitty and Johnny. Their disguise is ruined when Dr. Abby starts to give Meowth a massage, and he accidentally reveals his ability to speak. Fleeing with their stolen Pokémon, Team Rocket begins to fly away in their balloon but are quickly brought back to earth when Johnny blows up the balloon with a [[Solarbeam]].

Breaking free from their collars, Skitty and Johnny run back to their trainers, and begin to battle against Seviper and Cacnea. Easily dodging their attacks, Johnny begins utilizing a variety of elemental moves, such as [[Thunderbolt]], Solar Beam, and [[Blizzard]]. When May begins to fight with Skitty, Dr. Abby helps out by showing Skitty how to use Blizzard as well. A double blizzard attack, combined with a thunderbolt from Pikachu is enough to send Team Rocket "Blasting off again".

Later, Ash and his friends get back on the road to Verdanturf. Dr. Abby tells May that she should have no troubles as a Pokémon Coordinator as long as she believes in herself and her Pokémon. Thanking her for her help, May waves goodbye, and along with everybody else resume their travels.

'''All Torkoal, No Play!''' (Japanese: '''ハガネの谷を突破せよ！コータスVSハガネール!!''' ''Breaking Through Steel Valley! {{tt|Cotoise|Torkoal}} VS {{tt|Haganeil|Steelix}}!'') is episode 58 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on January 8, 2004 and in the United States on November 27, 2004.

{{spoilers}}

= Synopsis =

Eager to reach [[Mauville City]], which is their next stop on the way to [[Petalburg City]], [[Brock]] leads [[Ash]], [[May]], and [[Max]] into what he believes is a shortcut. Instead he manages to get them hopelessly lost in a bleak looking wilderness. As they look at the map Ash suddenly sees something strange in the sky, a {{p|Torkoal}} being attacked by a pair of {{p|Magnemite}} and a {{p|Skarmory}}! Ash rushes towards the fight with [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] together they are able to drive off the angry Pokémon. Happy to be rescued, the Torkoal thanks Ash and his friends by accidentally covering them with soot. Suddenly it hears a noise, and runs off into the distance leaving a very confused Ash behind.

Up in the sky [[Jessie]], [[James]], and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] float by in their balloon. Off in the distance Meowth notices the Skarmory, and translates its cries as "Get out of here, now!". Before they can turn around the angry Pokémon slices open their balloon with a [[Wing Attack]] and sends them flying off with the cry of "Team Rocket's blasting off already!".

Back on the ground, Ash and his friends begin to cross across a rocky valley, which Brock claims will get them back to the main road. Suddenly the two Magnemite from before appear, and begin attacking. Taking some of Max's advice, May calls out [[May's Torchic|Torchic]], who drives them off using [[Ember]]. Continuing along they stumble across Torkoal, who is once again being attacked by Skarmory and several Magnemite. Ash leaps to the rescue, and May backs him up by combining [[May's Skitty|Skitty's]] [[Assist]] and Torchic's Ember to drive off the Magnemite. Their attacks cause the Skarmory to begin targeting them, but Torkoal uses its [[Flamethrower]] to send it flying away. The effort causes Torkoal to collapse from exhaustion.

While tending to Torkoal's injuries, Brock tells everybody that they stumbled into the Valley of Steel, a place filled with wild and very aggressive Steel Pokémon. Torkoal probably got lost and was attacked by the Pokémon, just like they were. Ash suggests that Torkoal team up with them, certain that its power, along with their other Pokémon will be enough to get them safely out of the valley. Torkoal agrees, but suddenly the sound from before rings out, and Torkoal goes running off towards it. Brock speculates that the noise might be coming from another Pokémon, one far stronger then the Skarmory and Magnemite. They head in the direction Torkoal ran.

In another part of the valley, Team Rocket runs away from an angry {{p|Magneton}}. Its electric attacks send them blasting off for a second time. They land directly in front of a very large and angry {{p|Steelix}}. Not wanting to be attacked, Team Rocket tries to be nice to it, but are rewarded with a powerful [[Iron Tail]] attack which sends them blasting off yet again. They land right next to Ash and his friends, who have reunited with Torkoal on the edge of a big crevasse. Bouncing away they fall into the crevasse, inadvertently knocking May and Torchic in as well.

Grabbing onto a branch, May is able to keep herself from falling to the bottom of the crevasse. But a wild Magneton soon arrives and tries to knock her off using electric attacks. Torchic, Pikachu, and Torkoal all use their attacks to keep it away, while Brock and Max lower Ash down on a rope to rescue May. After successfully dragging May back up, Torkoal manages to hit the Magneton with a flamethrower, driving it away for good. Injured, the Magneton flies to Steelix's location and tells it where Ash and the others are. Angry the Steelix uses [[Dig]] and begins heading towards them.

Ash and his friends finally reach the edge of the valley, which is marked by a river. Before they can cross the Steelix suddenly comes up out of the ground and begins to attack. Brock realizes that this Steelix is the reason Torkoal entered the valley, it wanted to challenge it to a fight to prove its strength! With Ash giving out commands, Torkoal and Stellix square off in single combat. Ash soon realizes that Torkoal's Flamethrower is having little effect on Steelix, despite its weakness to fire. Remembering his fight against [[Flannery]] he orders Torkoal to use [[Overheat]], and is able to defeat Steelix. Impressed, the Steelix allows Torkoal, Ash, and his friends to leave the valley without further attacks. After crossing the river Ash asks Torkoal if it'd like to join his team. Torkoal tearfully accepts his offer and agrees to become one of Ash's Pokémon.

'''Going for a Spinda!''' (Japanese: '''パッチールがいっぱい！幸せさがして山の彼方に!?''' ''Lots of {{tt|Patcheel|Spinda}}! Beyond the Mountain in search of Happiness!?'') is episode 57 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 25, 2003 and in the United States on November 27, 2004.

{{spoilers}}

= Synopsis =

Fresh off his victory at the [[Lavaridge Gym]] [[Ash]] and his friends [[Brock]], [[May]], and [[Max]] try to decide where to go next. Brock suggests heading towards [[Fortree City]], but after noticing that the road there leads through a desert, he suggests a detour back towards [[Mauville City]]. May and Max remember that Mauville City is just a short distance away from their hometown [[Petalburg City]], and suggest stopping by for a visit. Ash agrees, remembering that he still needs to collect a badge from their father [[Norman]], the leader of the Petalburg Gym.

On the road to Mauville Town Ash and his friends encounter a {{p|Spinda}} with a heart shaped mark on its head. Before they can get too close the Spinda runs off. Soon afterwards they run into a woman named [[Julie]] and her butler [[Royce]]. She tells them that the Spinda they just saw is her lucky Spinda, it was given to her by a close friend for safekeeping and she has to catch it quickly. Smitten by her beauty, Brock agrees to do whatever it takes to find the missing Spinda, and leads the rest of his friends on a wild chase through the forest. They soon realize that the forest is home to an entire colony of Spinda, each of which has different markings. To Brock's dismay he continually comes across a Spinda with a broken heart shaped patch on its head, which serves as a constant reminder of his failure with women. Hiding nearby, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] overhear their plan, and decide to catch the lucky Spinda for themselves.

Ash and his friends eventually succeed in locating the Spinda, but before they can grab it [[Team Rocket]] suddenly appears, and sucks it up with their balloon. To their surprise the Spinda fights back, using [[Dizzy Punch]] and [[Hypnosis]] to send Team Rocket crashing back to earth. Crawling out of the wreckage the Spinda runs off again, with Ash and his friends in close pursuit. Not to be deterred, Team Rocket decides to take another approach, by capturing a wandering {{p|Teddiursa}} and dressing it up like a Spinda in distress. This plan fails as well when the Teddiursa's parent, an angry {{p|Ursaring}} appears and uses [[Hyperbeam]] to blow them away. Upon landing, Jessie and James decide to use Meowth as bait instead, dressing him up as a Spinda. To everybody's surprise, the plan works and the lucky Spinda appears to save Meowth. However when they try to capture it the Spinda uses [[Teeter Dance]] to knock them off a cliff. The Spinda begins to climb up a nearby mountain, with May, Brock, and Julie right behind it.

At the top they find a beautiful field of flowers. The lucky Spinda appears with a flower for Julie, which reminds her that this is the place where she met the Spinda's owner. She realizes that the Spinda wasn't running away at all, it was leading her to this spot. Ash, Max, and Royce appear soon afterwards, and Royce confirms Brock's deepest fears. Spinda's owner is actually Julie's fiance! To make things even worse for Brock, the fiance himself, a man named [[Cain]] suddenly appears with flowers for Julie. Their romantic moment is interrupted by another appearance by Team Rocket, who use a giant Spinda shaped robot to capture the lucky Spinda.

Angry over Julie's engangement, Brock goes into a rage and sends out all three of his Pokémon to attack the robot. [[Brock's Mudkip|Mudkip]] and [[Brock's Lotad|Lotad]] are defeated by the robot's mecha Dizzy Punch, but an [[Explosion]] attack from [[Brock's Forretress|Forretress]] destroys the robot, sending Team Rocket blasting off again.

With the happy couple and Spinda reunited, Ash and his friends, including a forlorn Brock part ways with their new friends and continue on their way.

Smitten by her beauty, Brock agrees to do whatever it takes to find the missing Spinda, and leads the rest of his friends on a wild chase through the forest. They soon realize that the forest is home to an entire colony of Spinda, each of which has different markings. To Brock's dismay he continually comes across a Spinda with a broken heart shaped patch on its head, which serves as a constant reminder of his failure with women. Hiding nearby, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] overhear their plan, and decide to catch the lucky Spinda for themselves.

Ash and his friends eventually succeed in locating the Spinda, but before they can grab it [[Team Rocket]] suddenly appears, and sucks it up with their balloon. To their surprise the Spinda fights back, using [[Dizzy Punch]] and [[Hypnosis]] to send Team Rocket crashing back to earth. Crawling out of the wreckage the Spinda runs off again, with Ash and his friends in close pursuit. Not to be deterred, Team Rocket decides to take another approach, by capturing a wandering {{p|Teddiursa}} and dressing it up like a Spinda in distress. This plan fails as well when the Teddiursa's parent, an angry {{p|Ursaring}} appears and uses [[Hyperbeam]] to blow them away. Upon landing, Jessie and James decide to use Meowth as bait instead, dressing him up as a Spinda. To everybody's surprise, the plan works and the lucky Spinda appears to save Meowth. However when they try to capture it the Spinda uses [[Teeter Dance]] to knock them off a cliff. The Spinda begins to climb up a nearby mountain, with May, Brock, and Julie right behind it.

At the top they find a beautiful field of flowers. The lucky Spinda appears with a flower for Julie, which reminds her that this is the place where she met the Spinda's owner. She realizes that the Spinda wasn't running away at all, it was leading her to this spot. Ash, Max, and Royce appear soon afterwards, and Royce confirms Brock's deepest fears. Spinda's owner is actually Julie's fiance! To make things even worse for Brock, the fiance himself, a man named [[Cain]] suddenly appears with flowers for Julie. Their romantic moment is interrupted by another appearance by Team Rocket, who use a giant Spinda shaped robot to capture the lucky Spinda.

Angry over Julie's engangement, Brock goes into a rage and sends out all three of his Pokémon to attack the robot. [[Brock's Mudkip|Mudkip]] and [[Brock's Lotad|Lotad]] are defeated by the robot's mecha Dizzy Punch, but an [[Explosion]] attack from [[Brock's Forretress|Forretress]] destroys the robot, sending Team Rocket blasting off again.

With the happy couple and Spinda reunited, Ash and his friends, including a forlorn Brock part ways with their new friends and continue on their way.

= Synopsis =

Arriving at [[Mt. Chimney]] on their way to [[Lavaridge Town]], [[Ash]], [[Brock]], [[May]], [[Max]], and [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] hop on a cable car for an easy trip up the mountain. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] also hop onboard, disguised as tour guides. On the ride up spy two large helicopters flying up the mountain, one colored red, the other blue. Unknown to everybody, these helicopters contain agents from [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], who have arrived on the mountain to obtain a special meteorite. A third person, [[Professor Cozmo]] is also on the mountain, searching for the meteorite to further his research. Using a special scanner he succeeds in locating it, moments before [[Tabitha]] appears, leading a group of Team Magma agents.

Tabitha demands that Prof. Cozmo hand over the meteorite, however he is distracted when [[Shelly]] appears with her own group of Team Aqua agents. The two groups begin to battle with each other, giving Prof. Cozmo the opportunity to escape. Noticing his disappearance a small group from both teams begin to pursue him down the mountain. Meanwhile, a small group of Team Aqua agents storm into the cable car control room and successfully overpower the workers. They shut down the cable cars, stranding both Ash's group and [[Team Rocket]] halfway up the mountain. Brock tries to use the emergency phone, but finds that nobody in the control room is responding. In the resulting panic, Jessie, James, and Meowth drop their facade as tour guides and reveal their true identities.

Realizing they're on their own, Ash takes a grappling hook from the cable car's storage bin and uses it to latch onto a nearby support tower. He begins to climb across the rope to the tower, but is nearly knocked off when Team Rocket tries to jump on as well. The ensuing scuffle causes the rope to snap, leaving Brock, May, Max, and Team Rocket stranded on the cable car, while Ash finds himself on the tower. He promises to come back with help, then climbs down the tower and begins to run up the mountain. Along the way he crashes into Prof. Cozmo, and realizes he's being pursued by Team Magma and Team Aqua. Higher up on the mountain, Team Aqua fights a losing battle, realizing they're outmatched, Shelly orders a tactical retreat. Letting them escape, Tabitha orders his group to head to the summit of the mountain so they can prepare for a test of some special equipment.

Introducing himself to Ash, Prof. Cozmo tells him that the meteorite is part of a large asteroid that fell from space. When Ash asks he says he has no idea why Team Magma or Team Aqua would want it, as it doesn't seem to have any special properties. Suddenly a {{p|Golbat}} comes swooping down and snatches the meteorite from Prof. Cozmo's hands. It flies to its trainer, a Team Magma member who orders his group to rendezvous with Tabitha at the mountain's summit. They depart, ignoring Ash and Prof. Cozmo. At the summit Tabitha receives a message about the meteorites recovery. Laughing he orders his men to start preparing the machine, a strange laser like device that points at the center of Mt. Chimney's volcanic cauldron.

Meanwhile, in the cable car, May and Max start to get hungry, Brock passes out sandwiches, and even shares some with a famished Team Rocket. Putting aside their differences for a moment, everybody sits down for a quick meal. Suddenly the cable car begins to shake, as the wind around the mountain starts to pick up. Everybody inside hangs on for dear life, Brock urges Ash to hurry up and save them.

Arriving at the summit, Ash and Prof. Cozmo watch as Team Magma sticks the meteorite into the laser, which they begin firing at the center of the volcano's lava flow. Prof. Cozmo speculates that the device will cause the volcano to erupt, which would deal untold damage to the surrounding area. Ash decides that the only way to stop the machine is to sneak up and snatch the meteorite from inside of it. With Prof. Cozmo providing a distraction, Ash approaches the machine and attempts to get the meteorite out of it. Finding it's protected by an electric lock, he has Pikachu use [[Thunderbolt]] in an attempt to overload the machine. It works, however the entire machine begins to go out of control. Looking back at the machine Tabitha notices Ash, recognizing him from their previous meeting he rushes down to stop him. At the last second Prof. Cozmo arrives and knocks him back. Realizing there's no time to get the meteorite out Prof. Cozmo shoves the entire machine, with the meteorite inside into the depths of the volcano. With their mission failed, Tabitha orders a retreat. On a nearby ridge Shelly watches their retreat, and orders Team Aqua to withdraw as well. Both sides conclude that even if they failed to secure the meteorite, at the very least they kept it out of their rivals hands.

Later, a rescued Brock, May, and Max thank Ash and Prof. Cozmo. Team Rocket attempts to nab Pikachu while they're distracted, but the sudden appearance of [[Jessie's Wobuffet|Wobuffet]] causes the ledge they're standing on to break loose, sending them sliding back down the mountain. Waving goodbye to Prof. Cozmo, Ash and his friends head down the other side, towards Lavaridge Town.

{{spoilers}}

= Synopsis =
While traveling through the [[Fiery Path]] to [[Lavaridge Town]], [[Ash]] and his friends [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]], [[Brock]], [[May]], and [[Max]] find themselves being chased by an angry group of {{p|Slugma}} after [[May's Skitty]] playfully attacks one. After a narrow escape Ash finds an exit from the cave, which brings them to a {{p|Numel}} ranch owned by a woman named Julie. Recognizing them as traveler's Julie invites them to rest at her ranch for a bit. Interested in the Numel, Brock and Max get some first hand experience on their physiology by helping Julie do her daily chores. Meanwhile May decides that the best way to redirect her Skitty's energy would be by teaching it how to battle. She asks Ash to battle with her, but Julie arrives and asks her to battle with her {{p|Furret}} instead. During the battle, May discovers that Skitty knows an attack called [[Assist]], which allows it to copy attacks her other Pokémon known, like [[May's Torchic|Torchic's]] [[Ember]] or [[May's Beautifly|Beautifly's]] [[Silver Wind]]. However even Assist isn't enough to turn the battle around, and Furret easily defeats Skitty.

Elsewhere [[Jessie]], [[James]], and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] find the Numel Ranch as well, and decided to steal the Numel so they can make money selling them as personal heaters. Late at night they sneak onto the ranch and begin stealing the Numel using a gigantic Numel shaped robot. Hearing the noise of the machine, Furret and Pikachu manage to wake everybody up, and they stumble out of bed to confront the Rocket Trio. Ash orders Pikachu to attack the machine with [[Thunderbolt]] but finds that it has no effect. With all of the Numel inside their robot, Team Rocket prepares to leave. Suddenly Skitty runs towards the machine and latches onto one of its arms. May rushes after Skitty, and the two wind up being trapped in the machine as well. With May, Skitty, and the Numel trapped inside their machine Team Rocket beats a hasty retreat. Intent on getting her Numel back, Julie gets into her truck, and with Ash and the rest in the back they begin to follow Team Rocket's trail.

Inside the robot, May and Skitty try to rouse the sleeping Numel. They finally manage to do it, but the Numel fall back asleep after Team Rocket uses a hidden sprinkler system to cool down their bodies. Thinking quickly, May orders Skitty to use Assist to hit one of the Numel with Ember. The attack wakes it up and the Numel quickly wakes up the remaining Numel with [[Flamethrower]]. The Numel begin to melt through the side of the robot with their fire attacks, causing Team Rocket to use the sprinkler system again. This time May is prepared, and has Skitty destroy the sprinkler with [[Doubleslap]]. Combining their flamethrowers, the Numel succeed in destroying the robot, and are able to escape. Climbing our the wreckage, Team Rocket prepares to recapture the Numel, but are interrupted by the arrival of Julie's truck. Team Rocket call out [[Jessie's Seviper|Seviper]] and [[James' Cacnea|Cacnea]] to battle, but the combined forces of Furret and Pikachu are enough to send them blasting off again.

The next morning, Julie shows them the route to [[Mt. Chimney]] and [[Lavaridge]] town. After waving goodbye, Ash and his friends continue on their way.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =

The gang is on their way back to Ecruteak City to get to Mahogany Town. On their way down a hill, a couple of a milk cans start to roll down. They break into a run until someone says to catch them, so they stop and grab the milk cans. They carry the cans up towards a truck driver who asks where they're going. Since the gang helped out with the cans, the driver says he'll give them a ride along the route to a destination more closer to Ecruteak. They get to an airport with a blimp waiting. Team Rocket is later spying on them, seeing if there would be a way inside the blimp. They sneak onto the cargo hold and look around. They come to a freezer and decide to go in, (who'd be stupid enough to do that?) except the door latch closes on them when they go in. After a while, they notice the door's stuck, and by the time they knock it down, they're frozen. And since the blimp makes another assent, down they go.

After they land, Ash gives Oak a call at a nearby rest house, except no one's there when he calls. Mr. Mime pops up eventually then Ash's mom. Ash wonders what's going on and then Oak and Tracey come into the scene. It looks like they're having a little problem with the Pokémon in the area. The Oddish/Glooms/Vileplumes/Bellosoms, the Hopips/Skiplooms/Jumpluffs, and a group of water Pokémon won't cooperate to share a lake with each other. Oak suggests that he should send Bulbasaur to them, maybe he can help out. Ash does so and hopes that Bulbasaur could solve this problem or two.

Tracey, Oak, and Bulbasaur set off to the place. Along the way, Heracross comes by happily and yet again licks the bulb off on Bulbasaur, except Bulbasaur gets even by slapping Heracross with a few Vine Whips. They get there and Bulbasaur rushes up to the three gangs of Pokémon. He decides to talk them into being friendly, but that don't work. Bulbasaur then tries to put a Bellosom in front of a Hopip, but instead gets slapped by the Bellosom. Bulbasaur tries a Hopip in front of a Poliwhirl, but gets Tackled by the Hopip and slapped by the Poliwhirl. This continues on until all three gangs turn in on Bulbasaur and start one of those cartoony fights. Tracey tries to help by sending out his Pokémon but the fight ends up with Bulbasaur releasing a Solar Beam straight up into the sky. For some reason, all the grass Pokémon now respect him and each other.

After the quarrel was solved, Bulbasaur decided to get to work. Oak and Tracey stand by to watch, Tracey taping the whole event. He showed the grass types a blank field, then cut the grass to make a patch of barren land, and started to dig up the sand. The others got the idea and started to dig in the non-grassy area. After a while, Bulbasaur hit something hard, it looks like he can't dig much further than that. Bulbasaur runs off towards the Poliwhirl from before. The Poliwhirl declines for a while, but Bulbasaur presists, eventually the Poliwhirl agrees. Bulbasaur later talks with a Sandslash, the Sandslash also agrees to help out with the problem. (and both have a posse of their own)

Soon all the Pokémon is working on getting the lake. Ash's mom and Mr. Mime come by later, both with bags of Pokémon food for the Pokémon. Later one the Sandslashes encounters a boulder in the ground. Once they exposed enough of it, Bulbasaurd goes first in getting it out of there. After a while, all the other Pokémon start to help out Bulbasaur. The boulder soon is carried out and everyone resumes their work. Soon enough, the Sandslash start scattering becuase they hit the ground water. The hole soon fills up with water and the lake is successful. The ground loosens and falls where an Oddish by the boulder were. The boulder is just about the land on the Oddish but Bulbasaur pushes it out of the way... except Bulbasaur can't get out! (and there's a flashback of the things that happened with Bulbasaur)

Later in a field, Ash gets up from a nap they were taking in a field. He looks towards the clouds and senses only that Bulbasaur is doing good.

Oak and Tracey push the boulder into the flooded area, but Bulbasaur is nowhere to be seen. Everyone starts to wonder what happened to him, but then Bulbasaur pops out from the ground, alright and rarin' to go!

Ash gives Oak a call again to see how things are going. It looks like Bulbasaur was a great help, but just one thing, it looks like he's wanted there to keep things in check. Ash asks if that's okay with Bulbasaur if he stays and Bulbasaur says "yes". Later the Bulbasaur solves another conflict going on and looks at the sky, knowing Ash is gonna do good.

= Synopsis =

On their way to [[Mahogany Town]], [[Ash]], [[Misty]], [[Brock]], and [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] find themselves lost in a heavy fog. After Ash and Brock accidentally fall off a ledge, they realize that they won't be able to continue until the fog lifts, and resign themselves to a long wait. However just when they begin to set up camp, a mysterious girl named [[Lokoko]] comes out of the mist, accompanied by a {{p|Ninetails}}. Lokoko tells them that they can wait out the fog at her house, and invites them to follow her. Lovestruck, Brock immediately accepts her offer, Ash and Misty follow along behind. Nearby, [[Jessie]], [[James]], [[Meowth (Team Rocket)]], and [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Wobbuffet]] notice Lokoko leading the "[[twerp]]s" away. They decide to follow them and steal both Ninetails, and Pikachu.

Lokoko leads Ash and his friends to a gigantic mansion, decorated in a feudal Japanese style. She invites them to the mansion's dining area and serves them a delicious meal made out of fruit. Brock begins flirting with her, and to Misty's surprise Lokoko begins flirting back. She asks Lokoko if she's the only one living in this mansion, which causes Lokoko to tell her the mansion's story. The mansion was originally owned by a man, the original trainer of Ninetails. However he left on a long journey and has yet to return. The other servants in the mansion eventually left for other places, leaving Lokoko and Ninetails as the only people in the mansion. Touched by her story, Brock offers to stay with Lokoko forever. To everybody's shock Lokoko accepts his offer, and agrees to marry him.

Meanwhile [[Team Rocket]] succeed in sneaking into the mansion. They decide to put off capturing Pokémon for a bit, and instead look for something to eat. Exploring some of the mansions storehouses, they find that the first room they explore is filled with treasure. An entire room filled with delicious cookies!

Back in the dining room, Misty tries to talk some sense into Brock. As she looks around the room she suddenly notices that Lokoko leaves no reflection in the rooms cabinet mirror. When she points it out to Lokoko, the doors to the cabinet suddenly slam shut, as if pushed by an invisible hand. Misty becomes frightened, and tries to convince Brock to leave with her and Ash, but Brock refuses to listen. Brock runs towards Lokoko to hug her and to both Ash and Misty's terror, falls right through her body! Brock doesn't seem to notice this, and Misty realizes that he's been put into a daze. Along with Ash she tries to knock some sense into him, but all it does is make him angry. Lokoko tells Brock to wait outside for her, and after he's left she turns her attention to Ash and Misty. Angrily she tells them that if they want to leave so badly, then they can go without Brock. Using a strange power, Ninetails levitates both Ash and Misty off of the ground, and throws them out of the mansion.

Fearful for Brock's safety, Ash and Misty quickly sneak back into the mansion, and begin exploring. They soon find a room that used to belong to the owner. Hanging above the desk is a portrait of the owner, who looks almost exactly like Brock. The desk also has two objects on it, Ninetail's [[PokéBall]] (an incredibly old model), and the owner's diary. Paging through the diary for clues Ash is shocked to see that the last entry was made over 200 years ago! If Lokoko has been waiting for the owner for 200 years, then she must be a ghost! They rush outside and see Brock relaxing with Lokoko and Ninetails. As they watch Brock's clothes suddenly change to the ones the owner was wearing in his portrait. Realizing that the spell over Brock is being maintained by Ninetails, Ash calls out [[Ash's Totodile|Totodile]] and orders it to attack Ninetails with [[Water Gun]]. Though the attack misses Ninetails, it hits Lokoko and passes right through her, causing Brock to see her for what she actually is. The spell over him broken, Brock returns to normal. Furthermore the mansion itself begins to decay, revealing that its grand appearance was just an illusion over a long abandoned ruin.

Team Rocket, who are still chowing in the storehouse suddenly realize that all they've been eating were tree leaves, which were disguised as food by Ninetail's power. Ash and his friends race through the mansion, pursued by Ninetails. It eventually corners them in the owner's office. Ash tries to battle it with Totodile and [[Ash's Bayleef|Bayleef]], but Ninetails easily defeats them using its telekinesis. Noticing the PokéBall on the table, Brock picks it up and orders Ninetails to return. Confusing Brock for its owner, Ninetails happily jumps into the ball. Lokoko reappears and tells them the real story of the mansion. Over 200 years ago, the owner of the mansion left on a journey. Though he promised he'd be back in a month, he never returned. Over time the servants who worked in the mansion began to leave, one by one until Ninetails was eventually left alone. Though Ninetails waited patiently, after a century had passed it realized that its owner was dead. It tried to leave the mansion, but found that it was bound by some sort of power centered around its PokéBall. Trapped in the mansion, it continued to wait, its power growing stronger and stronger as time passed on. Over two hundred years after its master had left, Ninetails sensed Brock's presence. Since Brock looked almost exactly like its late owner, Ninetails decided to lure him to the mansion and trap him. So Brock could take over and Ninetails new trainer.

Suddenly Team Rocket appears and capture Ninetails in a net. Angry over being tricked into eating leaves, they've decided to capture Ninetails and deliver it to their boss. Their plans are foiled when Ash uses Bayleef's [[Razor Leaf]] to cut the net open. With its telekinesis, and Pikachu's [[Thunderbolt]], Team Rocket is quickly sent "blasting off again". During the fight Ninetail's PokéBall is shattered, releasing it from the spell that had trapped it in the mansion. Finally free, Ninetails goes off to explore the world. As Ash and his friends prepare to continue their journey, they are met one last time by Lokoko, who thanks them for helping Ninetails.

'''Dues and Don'ts''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんとデリバード！''' ''Team Rocket and Delibird!'') is episode 231 of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on January 10, 2002 and in the United States on January 25, 2003.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =

On the road to [[Mahogany Town]], [[Ash]], [[Misty]], [[Brock]], and [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] are attacked by [[Jesse]], [[James]], and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]]. After a brief scuffle involving an exploding football the Rocket Trio is sent blasting off as usual. After a painful landing the Rockets discuss their most recent failure and try to figure out why they can never beat the "[[twerps]]". They eventually reach the conclusion that the reason lies in the fact that the twerps have a large amount of Pokémon to battle them with, while they only have five, including Meowth. In order to increase their capabilities the Rockets decide that their first goal should be to capture more Pokémon!

Their wish soon comes true when they find an apparently abandoned {{p|Delibird}}. A tape recording near the Delibird says that it was abandoned by its trainer, and is free to anybody able to catch it. Seizing their opportunity Jessie and James battle with the Delibird, and after a grueling battle succeed in defeating it. However before they can catch it an old woman comes out of the woods and introduces herself as the Delibird's trainer. She tells them that she's a scout for [[Team Rocket]] and by defeating Delibird in battle they've passed her test, they're now eligible to join Team Rocket themselves!

Jessie and James explain to the woman they they're already members of Team Rocket. When she refuses to believe them they look up their names in Team Rocket's member registry. Looking through it they find that their worst fears have finally come true, they've been disbanded from Team Rocket! The Rocket Scout explains that their membership was revoked due to their unpaid dues and the constant loans they've taken out. But that if they prove themselves to her that she should be able to get them reinstated, and get them a hefty signing bonus as well. Their mission? To defeat a wandering band of Pokémon Trainers, who turn out to be none other then the twerps! Jessie and James tell the scout, that although Ash and his friends look weak, they're actually skilled trainers, and that with their current Pokémon they'll be unable to beat them. After thinking for a moment the Scout agrees to let them borrow their Delibird. With a new and powerful Pokémon on their side, Team Rocket gets ready to attack, sure of their coming victory.

Meanwhile [[Giovanni]], the leader of Team Rocket receives a phone call from [[Wendy]], a member of Team Rocket's H.R. department. Wendy tells him that Jessie and James are trying to get their membership back, and suggests that he refuse to let them rejoin. Giovanni tells her that he has no problem letting them rejoin, so long as they pay Team Rocket the money they owe. With that said he hangs up on Wendy, leaving her to fume back at her desk. In a flashback we see that Wendy has a long standing grudge against Jessie, from an incident where she left her with a bill for a fruit smoothie. Angry that she couldn't get Jessie kicked out of the Team for good Wendy swears that she'll eventually get her revenge.

Back in [[Johto]] Ash and his friends are met on the road by a pair of wandering Samurai. They quickly reveal themselves to be Jessie and James in disguise, and challenge the twerps to a battle. Expecting them to use their normal Pokémon Ash calls out his [[Ash's Phanpy|Phanpy]]. To his surprise Team Rocket bring out Delibird, who easily defeats Phanpy with its [[Blizzard]] attack. Using its [[Present]] ability, Delibird hits Ash and friends with a surprise attack. Angered Ash calls out Pikachu, but finds that Delibird's Present is too much for Pikachu to handle. Ash tries to retreat, but no matter where him or his friends go Delibird is always there with another explosive present. Delighted at their success Jessie and James order Delibird to finish the twerps off, but to their surprise the next present restores Pikachu to full health. Taking control of the fight Ash orders Pikachu to attack, and Team Rocket finds itself "blasting off again".

After landing, Jessie and James are met again by the Rocket Scout, who reclaims her Delibird. She tells them that even though they lost the fight, Team Rocket is suffering a severe labor shortage (due to most of its members getting arrested) and that she's still going to register them again. The pair eagerly wait for their signing bonus, but find themselves hit with a bill instead, their bonus having helped pay all of the money they owe. At the bottom of the list is a surprise, a bill for a fruit smoothie courtesy of Wendy. The Scout tells them that every month Delibird will come to collect some of the money they owe, and that they should resume their work as Rockets.

Despite all of their bills, Jessie, James, and Meowth take a moment to celebrate. Their cheers are so loud that even Ash and his friends hear it on the nearby road.

= Trivia =
* This is one of the rare times that an item gets scanned in the Pokédex. Normally, Pokémon get mentioned in the Pokédex. Other cases this has happened was with the [[Pokéflute]] to wake up a Snorlax and the [[Salveyo weed]] to help the characters recover from Vileplume's Stun Spore.
* This is the first time a Pokémon (Sunkern) uses Sunny Day.
* This is Todd's second appearance.

== Errors ==
* In the dub, the Pokédex says that the Sun Stone is used to evolve {{p|Gloom}} into {{p|Vileplume}}, while in reality, the Sun Stone evolves Gloom into {{p|Bellossom}}. The [[Leaf Stone]] is the item that will evolve Gloom into Vileplume.
* After seeing {{p|Articuno}}'s picture in the PokéDex, Ash says that he wishes it were real, and not a legend. Ash should already know that Articuno is a real Pokémon, as he encountered one in the [[The Power of One|second movie]]. However since the movies are of questionable [[canon]], this may not be considered a true error.

== Dub edits ==
* Todd is the official name of this character, so it's not an error. Even though he was named Snap in Pokémon Paparazzi. This name is used due to his appearance in Pokémon Snap.
* While Ash, Misty and Todd think about how long Sofia's story will be, Brock wonders about if she has any [[wp:string cheese|string cheese]]. The reason for this bit of random humor is currently unknown.

'''Power Play''' (Japanese: '''ブラッキー！やみよのたたかい!!''' ''{{tt|Blacky|Umbreon}}! The Battle During a Dark Night'') is episode 171 of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 2, 2000 and in the United States on October 20, 2001.

Ash is annoyed when Gary does not see him as a worthy opponent but that is put aside when Team Rocket cause a blackout with their new mecha that sends back any attack at twice the power.
{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =

[[Ash]], [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] are on the road to [[Ecruteak City]] when they overhear a Pokémon Battle nearby. Curious they go to get a closer look and are surprised to see Ash's rival [[Gary Oak]] battling another [[Alex Davis|trainer]]. The Trainer calls out an {{p|Alakazam}}, which causes Gary to bring out his [[Gary's Umbreon|Umbreon]]. Checking his [[PokéDex]], Ash realizes that this Umbreon is the evolved form of the {{p|Eevee}} that Gary used to defeat him back in [[Pallet Town]]. After Gary wins his battle Ash attempts to challenge him to a match, with little success. Gary simply brushes off his rival and continues on his way.

Meanwhile [[Jessie]], [[James]], and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] try to come up with their next scheme. [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Wobbuffet]] begins to pester Meowth, who responds with his signature [[Fury Swipes]] attack. When Wobbuffet uses its [[Counter]] to reflect the attack back on Meowth, Jessie suddenly gets an idea.

In a nearby town, Ash tries to ignore Misty and Brock as they talk about Gary's Umbreon. Wanting to bolster his strength in case he meets Gary again, Ash starts stuffing his face with hamburgers the moment they arrive at a [[Pokémon Center]]. Brock tries to tell him that it could be weeks before they meet Gary again, but Ash refuses to heed his advice. Without warning, the lights in the Center go out. [[Nurse Joy]] comes in and says that the entire town has suffered a blackout, and that without electricity the intensive care unit in the Pokémon Center can't function. Eager to impress Nurse Joy, Brock volunteers to go to the town's hydroelectric power plant and see what the problem is. Ash and Misty decide to go along as well. On their way to the plant they pass by Gary's campsite, who decides to follow them with Umbreon.

At the power plant they find all of the plant employees tied up, and realize that [[Team Rocket]] is responsible for the blackout. Having diverted the energy from the plant into their new Mecha Wobbuffet with a gigantic power cable. Like a real Wobbuffet the robot has the ability to counter attacks, and easily reflects every attack Ash and his friends try to throw at it. Realizing they can't beat it, Ash and company beat a hasty retreat into the woods, with Mecha Wobbuffet right behind them. However just when everything seems lost, the Mecha Wobbuffet suddenly stops, having used up the full length of its power cord. Arriving on the scene, Gary takes advantage of the robots weakness and orders Umbreon to sever the power cable, stopping the robot dead in its tracks. With Team Rocket unable to do anything, the four trainers rush back to the power plant and quickly release the imprisoned workers. The workers say that with the damage Team Rocket caused, the only way to restore the towns power is to activate the backup generator located nearby.

On their way to the generator Ash and his friends are once again interrupted by Mecha Wobbuffet. Which has become fully mobile thanks to James' and Meowth's bicycle power. Under Jessie's control the robot begins to fight against Ash's Pokémon, but quickly stops again when an exhausted James and Meowth lose their energy to pedal. Ash orders [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] to use its [[Thunderbolt]], but finds that the attack only recharges the robot. With a new supply of energy the robot resumes its attack with even greater force. Watching its counter attack in action, Ash suddenly gets an idea. He orders [[Ash's Cyndaquil|Cyndaquil]] to use [[Flamethrower]], which is quickly sucked into the robot's stomach. Before it can release the attack he orders [[Ash's Bayleef|Chikorita]] to use Vine Whip and hold the robot's counter mechanism shut. This causes the counter to be released inside the robot, blowing it to pieces and causing Team Rocket to "blast off".

With the robot out of the way Ash and Gary reach the backup generator, and combine their Pokémon's powers to get it running again. When they realize the backup generator isn't giving off enough power, Pikachu uses its [[Thundershock]] to get it up to peak capacity. Impressed, Gary tells Ash that he's gotten a lot stronger since their last encounter, and says that next time they meet it might be him that challenges Ash to a battle. Surprised at having won his rival's respect, Ash says that he looks forward to that day, and the two part ways.

The next day, after saying goodbye to Nurse Joy. Ash and his friends continue on their journey.

[[Image:Zane.jpg|thumb|right|Zane]]'''Zane''' is a [[character of the day]] in the [[Pokémon anime]] who appeared in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]''.
==In the Anime==
Zane is a childhood friend of [[Susie]]'s, who shared her dream of becoming a famous [[Pokémon Breeder]]. Like Susie his first Pokémon was a {{p|Vulpix}} who he later evolved into a {{p|Ninetales}}. However unlike his close friend Zane believed that a Pokémon's true beauty came from its physical appearance, and not from its inner character like Susie did. Eager to prove his point he entered a Pokémon Beauty contest, pitting his Ninetails against Susie and Brock's [[Brock's Vulpix|Vulpix]].

During the competition he realized that Susie and Brock's views on Pokémon Breeding were just as valid as his, and asked Susie if he wanted to start a Pokémon Beauty Salon with him. After consulting with Brock, Susie eventually accepted his offer.

Though he only appeared in one episode, Zane is notable for finally ending Brock's infatuation with Susie. Though the two fought over Susie's affection, Brock realized that Zane was a better match for her than he was and eventually decided to support their relationship. Zane too grew to like Brock, recognizing him as a top class Pokémon Breeder.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =

On their way to [[Ecruteak City]], [[Ash]], [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] come across [[Johto]]'s [[National Park]] which is hosting a Pokémon Bug Catching Contest. The rules state that each trainer is given a special park pokéball. They are to enter the forest, and using only one Pokémon capture the strongest bug Pokémon they can find. Whoever gets the strongest one wins the competition and, in addition to keeping the Pokémon they catch also win a [[Sunstone]]. Eager to get a new Pokémon, Ash decides to enter the contest. While registering he encounters a familiar face, [[Casey]] the diehard [[baseball]]-loving trainer from ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]''. She tells him that she's entering the contest as well, and announces that she intends to beat Ash no matter what the cost.

Meanwhile [[Jessie]] and [[James]] try to enter the contest too. Unfortunately they are unable to register, due to the contest's rule that forbids anybody over the age of 16 from entering. Not to be deterred from finding new Pokémon, Jessie, James, and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] kidnap a contest employee and sneak into the contest grounds with his {{p|Venomoth}} costume.

Viewing from a screen in an amphitheater inside the park, Misty and Brock watch as Casey and Ash venture deeper into the forest. Ash quickly spots a {{p|Weedle}}. He orders [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] to attack it, but before he can engage it Casey appears and attacks it with her [[Casey's Chikorita|Chikorita]]. She easily captures it and continues on her way, ignoring Ash's protest that he saw it first.

In another part of the forest [[Team Rocket]] tries using their stolen costume to attract Pokémon. Jessie succeeds in luring a wild Venomoth towards her, but gets hit with [[Stun Spore]] when the bug Pokémon realizes she's a fake. As they recover from the attack James and Meowth decide to try a different plan.

Continuing through the forest Casey orders Chikorita to start attacking trees, and manages to knock some wild {{p|Pineco}} out of their hiding spots. After a short battle Chikorita manages to defeat them and the two continue on their way. Watching from the amphitheater Misty and Brock comment on her momentum. However Misty's attention is taken away from the contest when several bug Pokémon appear nearby.

Back in the forest Casey notices Chikorita lagging behind, still tired from its previous battles. Still wanting to win she tells it not to give up, and the pair continue their hunt. They soon encounter a rare {{p|Scyther}}. Despite Chikorita's obvious exhaustion Casey orders it to attack and the tired Pokémon soon finds itself in a battle it can't win. At the last moment Ash appears with Pikachu and saves Chikorita. He yells at Casey for being an irresponsible trainer then lures the Scyther away so that her and Chikorita can rest. Not wanting to listen to him Casey tries to encourage Chikorita, only to realize its run away.

Meanwhile [[Misty's Togetic|Togepi]] has wandered into the forest. It finds Chikorita hiding in a bush, and tries to cheer it up. Misty, and Brock soon appear looking for it and Casey stumbles upon them a moment later. She calls Chikorita over to her, but is surprised to find that it refuses to listen to her. Misty tells her its because she'd ignored Chikorita's feelings, and made it fight until it collapsed. Realizing her mistake Casey apologizes to Chikorita who joyfully jumps into her arms.

Elsewhere Ash and Pikachu continue their pursuit of the Scyther. Following it through a bush they accidentally disturb a small swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} who swoop down to attack them. Taking advantage of the opportunity Ash orders Pikachu to drive them off with [[Thunderbolt]], and easily catches one of the shocked Beedrill. The two begin to celebrate but suddenly fall into one of Team Rocket's infamous pit traps. The pit drops them into an electricproof cage, and the pair are quickly lifted off by Team Rocket's hot air balloon.

Misty, Brock, and Casey come running to help Ash and Pikachu. Casey orders Chikorita to use [[Razor Leaf]] but finds that it's too weak to hurt the balloon or free Ash. Taunting the people on the ground Meowth pulls out a large rocket and prepares to fire it at them. In response to this new threat Casey's Chikorita suddenly evolves into a {{p|Bayleef}} and easily deflects Meowth's attack. Using Razor Leaf again, Bayleef is able to free Ash and Pikachu who quickly send Team Rocket blasting off with a Thunderbolt.

With the Beedrill he caught Ash is able to win the contest. Though he keeps the Sunstone, he decides to give his Beedrill away to Casey, as thanks for her help against Team Rocket. She tearfully accepts his gift and happily sings the Elecabuzz Fight song before parting ways with him again.

'''Moltres''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ファイヤー ''Fire'') is a {{t|Fire}}/{{t|Flying}}-type Pokémon. It's found in the [[Kanto|Kanto Region]] at [[Victory Road (Kanto)|Victory Road]] as well as [[Sevii Islands]]' [[Mt. Ember]]. Moltres appeared in the movie [[The Power of One]]. In the games, Moltres once helped [[Blaine]] find his way down a huge mountain while he was lost.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Moltres takes the form of a large bird with flame-colored plumage, resembling a phoenix. Its dazzling wings, and elaborate head crest appear to be covered with flames. It has a straight, pointed brown break, which is the same color as its feet. Compared to the other legendary birds, it has the smallest feet and legs. It is the largest of the legendary birds, however its feathers make up a good portion of its bulk.

===Gender differences===
Moltres is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
When it flaps its wings, it creates a brilliant flash of flames. Also, Moltres is one of the few Pokémon known to naturally weild the very powerful flying-type move [[Sky Attack]].

==Behavior==
Moltres is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto. They are a poorly understood species, believed by many to be pure myth. Its behavior is largely clandestine, but it appears to migrate to the south during the springtime. There are many folk-tales surrounding this species, but perhaps the most popular is that its appearance will bring about an early spring. Documented sightings of this pokemon are fairly consistent, and usually include dazzling orange colored flames. When moltres flaps its wings, it sheds hundreds of tiny embers. It is believed that fire has healing properties, it is said to immerse itself in molten lava if it is injured.
==Habitat==
Moltres appears to live in hot regions, particularly active volcanoes. They are spectacularly rare, very possibly one-of-a-kind. Moltres have been sighted on [[victory road]] and near the [[sevii islands]].

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
Moltres made its first true appearance in ''[[The Power of One]]''. [[Jirarudan]] wanted to capture the three [[Legendary Birds]] as well as {{p|Lugia}}.

Moltres also appeared in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up]]'' and ''[[H018|The Search for the Legend]]''. Additionally it was mentioned in ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'' where [[James]] mistakingly believed that it was his "Inner Pokémon" and dressed up in a Moltres costume.

=Other appearances=
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a Pokéball, Moltres will remain where it is released, flapping its wings. While it makes no visible attack, any opponent touching it will receive a sizable amount of damage.

=Trivia=

==Origin==
Like {{p|Ho-Oh}}, Moltres is based on the legend of the [[wp:phoenix|phoenix]]. However, Moltres is based on the phoenix of Arabic legend. Others claim that the bird is based on the Japanese mythical bird known as 朱雀 ''Suzaku'', guardian of the South, and is not a true phoenix. Regardless, the Pokémon has a very similar appearance to both the phoenix and the Suzaku.
===Name origin===
Moltres's name is a combination of the words ''molten'' and the [[wp:Spanish language|Spanish]] word for three, ''tres'', indicating that it is the third in the series of [[Kanto]] [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary birds]]. Its Japanese name is simply ''Fire''.

'''The Fortune Hunters''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンうらない!?だいらんせん！''' ''Pokémon Fortune-telling!? Enormous Melee!'') is episode 157 of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 27, 2000 and in the United States on May 19, 2001.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =

[[Ash]], [[Misty]], [[Brock]], and [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] arrive in a new city and head towards the [[Pokémon Center]]. There they encounter a group of children who tell them about the newest fad. Pokémon Fortune Telling, an activity similar to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horoscopes horoscopes] in which people are assigned a pokémon personality type based on their birthdate. Eager to find out her pokémon type Misty drags her companions along to a local [[pokémon daycare|daycare]] that has been giving out copies of the Fortune Telling book. Arriving at the daycare the owners explain to Misty that it's considered good luck to own the pokémon that corresponds to your personality type. The daycare center has a booming business in matching trainers with their pokémon type and frequently holds pokémon for trainers until a suitable trade can be made.

After getting a copy of the book, Misty reveals each of her companion's pokémon types. Ash is listed as a {{p|Bellsprout}} type, while Brock is an {{p|Onix}} type. Misty eagerly looks up her own type, but is shocked to see that she's listed as a {{p|Gyarados}} type. Ash tells her that it's nothing to get worked up about, but he is unable to stop Misty's growing anger. Traveling back to the Pokémon Center the group falls into one of [[Team Rocket]]'s pitfall traps, but an angry Misty easily climbs out and sends them "blasting off again". Upon landing, Team Rocket collects themselves and notices that they've unwittingly obtained Misty's fortune telling book. [[Jessie]] looks at it and finds that she's an {{p|Eevee}} type. [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] tries to look himself up, but Jessie reminds him that as an actual pokémon his type should be glaringly obvious. She then reads [[James]]' type, and is shocked to see that he's a {{p|Moltres}}. Initially skeptical, a series of bizarre coincidences soon convince James that the book can actually tell his future. Taking its words that Moltres type will "soar above the others" literally, he begins to see himself as undefeatable, and quickly appoints himself the new leader of Team Rocket. Impressed with his sudden shift in personality, Jessie and Meowth decide to follow his lead.

James leads them to the daycare, planning on using his Moltres powers to steal every pokémon inside. He attempts to intimidate the daycare's owners, but is surprised when they reveal themselves to be none other than fellow Rockets [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]], who quickly capture and lock up the Rocket trio. Tied up inside the daycare James once again surprises his companions by easily breaking out of his bonds and clearing an escape route. Leading them out of the daycare he begins to plan their revenge.

Meanwhile Misty continues to stew over her pokémon type. When she overhears Brock talking about how Gyrados suits her she decides to return to the daycare and demand an explanation from its owners, dragging Brock and Ash along with her. Entering the daycare, they see that the front desk is empty and decide to look for the owners in the back rooms. There they see all of the pokémon in cages and overhear a conversation between Butch, Cassidy, and Giovanni. Realizing that the entire daycare is another Rocket scheme the group decides to free the captured pokémon. Unfortunately they are quickly discovered by Butch and Cassidy who begin to battle them with their [[Raticate (Team Rocket)|Raticate]] and {{p|Primeape}}.

Suddenly Jessie and Meowth appear by driving a crane through the wall. To everyone's surprise James' comes flying in on the crane dressed in a Moltres suit. Declaring himself the "flame that burns brightest" he announces his intention to steal all of the pokémon in the daycare as well as those that belong to the "twerps". He calls out [[James' Victreebel|Victreebel]] and unexpectedly manages to defeat Raticate with it. Unfortunately James' ego is quickly shot down when Butch and Cassidy reveal that their entire fortune book was just part of their scam. Depressed that he's not actually a Moltres type James quickly reverts back to his old self forcing Jessie to start battling with [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Wobbuffet]]. However Wobbuffet alone isn't enough and Primeape quickly sends Jessie, James, Meowth, and their pokémon "blasting off". Taking advantage of the battle Misty, Ash, and Brock go searching for the keys to the pokémon cages but are quickly cornered by Butch and Cassidy.

Butch and Cassidy begin battling but are defeated by the combined efforts of [[Misty's Poliwhirl|Poliwhirl]], [[Ash's Totodile|Totodile]] and Pikachu. A quick call to [[Officer Jenny]] and the two Rockets are once again on their way to prison. While talking with Jenny Misty notices that she has an official pokémon fortune telling book, and uses the opportunity to check out her real type. Elsewhere Jessie finds the same book, and decides to see what James' actually is. Neither Misty nor James' real type is revealed though, as the episode ends before they can state it.

'''Forest Grumps''' (Japanese: '''リングマでドッキリ!!''' ''{{tt|Ringuma|Ursaring}} in Shock!'') is episode 155 of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 6, 2000 and in the United States on June 2, 2001.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =

On the road to [[Goldenrod City]] [[Ash]], [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] decide to take a break at a nearby lake and relax with their Pokémon. Unfortunately their fun quickly ends when [[Team Rocket]] suddenly appears and tries to capture all of their Pokémon. Team Rocket's plan is foiled when a group of disgruntled {{p|Ursaring}} appears and attacks them and everybody soon finds themselves running for their lives. In the confusion [[Jessie]] and Misty wind up switching places. Jessie finds herself stuck with Ash, Brock, and [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]], while Misty is stranded with [[James]] and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]]. After forming a temporary truce the two groups begin to search the forest for their lost comrades, dodging Ursaring the entire time.

Along the way Jessie and Misty get a first hand look at how their rival team operates. Jessie is impressed by the kindness the "twerps" show her and reminisces about her dreams before she joined Team Rocket. While James and Meowth find that they've merely swapped one bossy red head for another, slightly nicer one. When the two groups are finally reunited they are forced to work together in order to finally escape the Ursaring for good. Back together, they dissolve the truce and begin fighting again, with Team Rocket predictably "blasting off again".

Use [[link templates]] for linking Pokémon species. <nowiki>{{p|Pidgey}}</nowiki> opposed to <nowiki>[[Pidgey]]</nowiki>. Otherwise you might end up linking something like [[Mewtwo]] using [[Psychic]]. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 07:08, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

'''Type: Wild''', also known as '''Pallet Town Song''', was the fifth ending theme of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was used from [[EP069]] to [[EP104]], and was sung by [[Rica Matsumoto]]. An English language version of the song was also produced.
=Synopsis=
Ash's [[Pokédex]] floats around before opening up. As it opens the running silhouettes of Ash and Pikachu appear on the side of the screen while Ash and Pikachu themselves appear on the bottom. The screen of the Pokédex displays scenes from several of Ash's adventures as Ash reminisces about his life before becoming a Pokémon trainer. He then reaffirms his dream of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]]. The song ends with a picture of Ash and Pikachu on the screen of the Pokédex.

<ab>''Let's go!

Remembering the days
I trained hard and I played
In our [[Pallet Town]].
Feeling so proud of the friends that I made
Knowing our goals are the same.
The sneakers that I wear,
The coolest of all pair,
Take me everywhere.
You'll only find them in Pallet Town,
Worn out but the best you will find.
They help me get through
My journeys time after time.

Oh, yeah!

And before you know it, type: wild!
Gonna reach my goal, type: wild!
Keep on going, type: wild!
Gonna be strong, type: wild!

Yeah! Oh yeah! Pallet Town! Oh yeah!

Traveling by day,
Competing along the way,
Is my destiny.
No guides, no maps to tell me where I'm going,
My heart just leads the way.
The friends I made while traveling
Help me to keep going.
A [[Pokémon master|master]] is what I'm gonna be.
I'm getting there, but not easily.
But I can't stop
Trying to be what I wanna be.

And before you know it, type: wild!
Gonna reach my goal, type: wild!
Keep on going, type: wild!
Gonna be strong, type: wild!

And before you know it, type: wild!
Gonna reach my goal, type: wild!
I'm gonna keep on going, type: wild!
Gonna be strong, type: wild!

For I know, this will be reality
So follow all your dreams.''</ab>
