Ok, I think this is the greatest centre of information on Pokémon, so I would like to contribute on anything related to the games -although I saw the anime and read some of the mangas, I like the games most so I have most of them- depending on what the needs are acording to the administrators.

== Unknown # of Episodes as Pikachu ==

How do we know that Raichu spent episodes as a Pikachu? After all, it was only the 14th episode! How do we know it wasn't a Pikachu before Ash became a trainer, thus, before the series started?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 23:05, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

:It would still be a certain amount of episodes. If it was... 24 episodes it was a Pikachu, then it would've began being a Pikachu or whatever in episode -10 or something. But in my opinion, I think it would be less than one episode, because Brock thought Lt. Surge evolved Pikachu into a Raichu right after he got it, and that proved to be partly true.

I found this image on the web a long time ago, and noticing that this article has the "Unsatisfactory image" tag, I thought it could be used instead. The thing is that I can't see what's wrong with the current image, so I won't change it since I don't know if my image is better or doesn't have the unspecified mistake.

Isn't the staff trying to get rid of trivia? On the bit about her Black Tulip nickname... I think that has to do more with the fact she uses a BLACK TULIP as her weapon, not because of the Dumas novel.

Also, I sorta doubt 009 was a reference of any kind to James Bond, as secret agents have numerical nicknames all the time.

'''Domino''' (Japanese: '''ドミノ''' ''Domino''), also known as '''009''' and '''Black Tulip''', is an [[Team Rocket ranks#Elite officer|elite officer]] within [[Team Rocket]]. Her past before [[Team Rocket]] is almost completely unknown, and she claims that Domino is not her real name.

Her true personality remains a mystery. She can be cheerful one moment and all business the next, depending on the situation. She has a quick temper, but can restrain it as the mission calls for. However, when the [[Giovanni|Boss]] gets mad at her, she takes it out on lesser agents.

She is voiced by [[Kerry Williams]] in English and ''[[Kotono Mitsuishi]]'' in Japanese.

==Relationships with other members==
{{bad picture|section}}
[[Image:DisDomino.png|left|thumb|A disguised Domino]]
Domino seems to have a very close relationship with [[Giovanni]], receiving orders directly from him and maintaining phone communications with him at many times, even things that have little to do with the mission. The closeness is furthered by her attempts to reason with him when she thinks his actions will jeopardize his own goal; not many people could talk back to him and get away with it.

Because Domino is so elite, [[Giovanni]] appears to feel safe in entrusting her with commanding [[Team Rocket Grunts|lesser agents]]. She spearheads the Mount Quena operation, leading a crack team of over a hundred [[Rocket Grunts]] into the caves. She also recruits [[Jessie]] and [[James]] after finding them in a prison, and makes them cleaners of the new Rocket Base, using them while humiliating them at the same time.

Domino's high status and approval by the [[Boss]] have made her quite vain, and although she uses [[Jessie]] and [[James]] to help with the base, the first time she reveals herself to be a Rocket, she betrays them, bursting the [[Transportation in Pokémon|Meowth Head Balloon]].

==Arsenal and abilities==
[[Image:Giovanni.jpeg|left|thumb|200px|Domino with Giovanni]]She has no [[Pokémon]]. However, she hardly needs them. She is an excellent fighter and her choice of weapon is an electrically-charged 'tulip'. She demonstrates an excellent sense of balance and advanced gymnastic skills.

==Trivia==
* Domino may be named after {{wp|Domino Harvey}}, a female bounty hunter.
* Domino's codename of 009 is a reference to James Bond, who is designated 007.
* Domino's nickname of the "Black Tulip" is a reference to the {{wp|The Black Tulip|book}} of the same name by {{wp|Alexandre Dumas, père|Alexandre Dumas}}.
* At one point, Domino poses similar to {{wp|Sailor Moon (character)|Sailor Moon}}, Kotono Mitsuishi's most famous role.

Music shouldn't be treated as the primary way of determining Legendary status. Next you'll be telling me Shaymin's not a Legendary. Nintendo accepts the Legendary Pokémon to NOT include Rotom, which should be enough, but if it's not, consider this: Rotom can breed artificially and produce another Rotom indirectly or otherwise. Further, Rotom is not the byproduct itself of a Legendary. A solid definition for a Legendary at this point would include two basic structures: The Pokémon is unable to breed another member of the same evolutionary line artificially, though the offspring is still considered a Legendary due to the Legendary parent. A Legendary Pokémon is accepted as Legendary by Nintendo. Only those and nothing more. That's why Rotom is not a Legendary Pokémon.

I definitely thought those five new Pokémon couldn't be new because if that were the case, how would players be able to send them to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. This would mean that there has to be new forms of one Pokémon like Giratina and Shaymin. Also, considering the position of its Pokédex entry #479 just before all of the legendaries and being one of few Pokémon where only one can be caught in the game, it's clear that Rotom is somewhat legendary with the ability to have different forms. Also, don't forget that Rotom's ability Levitate, many Legendaries have that ability (e.g. Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf and the legendary birds even though it's not their actual ability but have immunity to ground type moves). Therefore, the new forms must be of Rotom. I rest my case. [[User:Lanturn|Lanturn]] 13:42, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

As for the forms, I believe that the red, purple, green and orange silhouettes along with the original form of Rotom are in one group because of their identical hands on their sides (despite the green one looks hard to see). The blue one on the other hand might be another Rotom but is much more powerful with the potential of having the sum of the base stats equal to or greater than 600. The blue one looks larger than the rest (slightly although it could be the purple or the green one instead). I'm suggesting blue because it has two different looking arms (although Deoxys normal form has it too). While saying that, I believe this may be the case where the player must have all five forms of Rotom in their party or seen/caught before having the chance to capture this super Rotom (similar to the Regigigas event and the Ho-oh event in Pokémon Crystal). This is what I strongly believe but share in your opinions about this speculation. I might be completely wrong, but I feel that the evidence does sound very convincing.

Also, don't forget that Rotom's ability Levitate, many Legendaries have that ability (e.g. Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf and the legendary birds even though it's not their actual ability but have immunity to ground type moves). Therefore, the new forms must be of Rotom. I rest my case. [[User:Lanturn|Lanturn]] 13:42, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

As for the forms, I believe that the red, purple, green and orange silhouettes along with the original form of Rotom are in one group because of their identical hands on their sides (despite the green one looks hard to see). The blue one on the other hand might be another Rotom but is much more powerful with the potential of having the sum of the base stats equal to or greater than 600. The blue one looks larger than the rest (slightly although it could be the purple or the green one instead). I'm suggesting blue because it has two different looking arms (although Deoxys normal form has it too). While saying that, I believe this may be the case where the player must have all five forms of Rotom in their party or seen/caught before having the chance to capture this super Rotom (similar to the Regigigas event and the Ho-oh event in Pokémon Crystal). This is what I strongly believe but share in your opinions about this speculation. I might be completely wrong, but I feel that the evidence does sound very convincing.

the orange one looks like spiritomb tho.....[[User:Happizelpom|Happi]][[User talk:Happizelpom|zel]][[Special:Contributions/Happizelpom|pom]] 13:47, 25 August 2008 (UTC)Happizelpom

:Until the formes are officially revealed as to who they are, they should not be included on the page. You may speculate as much as you want (there's another topic on the Bulbagarden Fourms for you to do that, not litter up a talk page...) but it is NOT appropriate to have the Rotom page littered with 'some people speculate that the orange outline is a Rotom forme...'. You guys can wait less than 3 weeks until it comes out, and everything gets confirmed. ←{'''[[User:Berrymaster|Berrymaster]]|[[User_talk:Berrymaster|Talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Berrymaster|Contrib]]'''}→ 13:59, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

serebii.net just got the scan of the leaflets included with Pokémon Platinum that display some of the Rotom's formes (the security camera one is nowhere to be seen) besides it's types and attacks they can learn. Shouldn't we add this to this page and to the main page? [[User:Commanderraf|Commanderraf]] 17:12, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

'''A Cacturne for the Worse''' (Japanese: '''イザベ島ポケモンコンテスト！ライバルに気をつけろ!!''' ''Izabe Island Pokémon Contest! Beware of the Rival!!'') is episode 103 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 18, 2004 and in the United States on November 26, 2005.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Trivia ==
* May earns the moniker "Miss Tent" (Japanese: メノちゃん ''Meno-chan'') from her contest rival Harley due to an embarrassing story that Max told Harley before the contest. The story involves May being afraid of Tentacool and Tentacruel.
* In the Latin American Spanish dub, in this first appearance of Harley he is referred as a woman by Max when explaining why he told "her" about May's Tentacruel experience. Besides, he's dubbed in a very straight way that contrasts with further episodes, where Harley's voice actor adds many extravagant elements to his personality and way of talking.

=== Errors ===
*When Harley was insulting May about her fear of Tentacool he told her to calm down lest she were to evolve into an {{p|Octillery}}. Octillery is actually the evolution of {{p|Remoraid}}, not Tentacool.

== Synopsis ==

Thanks to [[Dogasu]] for the synopsis.

We see Ash and the others riding on a ferry to the next location. Max exclaims that they've arrived at the next island, and Brock says that it's Wells Island, a crescent moon-shaped island. Ash's excited to think about what kind of rare Pokémon will be in this remote island.

On the beach, May is training her Bulbasaur for the next contest, trying to teach it Petal Dance. Meanwhile, Ash is doing some training of his own, trying to make Pikachu stronger. He has Pikachu hit a log floating in the ocean with its Thunderbolt attack. The attack flips the log up into the air, where Pikachu is ordered to use Iron Tail to chop it in half. After Pikachu lands, May happily exclaims that Bulbasaur has learned Petal Dance! She decides to show Ash, so she has her grass Pokémon use the attack on an incoming tidal wave. The Petal Dance tears right through the wave, cutting a giant circular hole out of the wall of water.

Meanwhile, Max is out by himself gathering firewood in the forest. Suddenly, he spots a Cradily! The Pokémon runs off as Max sits, flabbergasted. Ash and the others arrive on the scene, and Max informs them of what he just saw. After May looks it up on her Pokédex, Brock says that Cradily is supposed to be extinct. As Ash looks for the Pokémon, May suggests that maybe he mistook a different Pokémon for Cradily. Suddenly, a Breloom appears, and everyone assumes that this is what Max saw. Max insists that he really saw a Cradily and runs off, anxious to prove them wrong.

Max is searching in the forest when he comes across a huge mansion! He approaches the grounds and peeks through the window, discovering that the mansion has a laboratory inside! Through the window, he's also able to see a bunch of Lileep, the pre-evolved form of Cradily! Suddenly, a man in a lab coat appears behind Max and angrily asks him what he's doing there!

Ash and the others are still out in the forest, looking for Max. Suddenly, Cradily appears in front of our heroes! As Ash and the others realize that Max wasn't as crazy as they thought, a young female in a lab coat appears and happily hug the ancient Pokémon, happy that it's OK. As Brock does his usual “fall for a beautiful girl” routine, the girl introduces herself as Annie. Ash and the others ask if she's seen Max, and the woman responds that if he's anywhere, he would have found his way to the lab where she works.

Everyone is taken to the lab, where Max is waiting. May and Max share a hug while the man in the lab coat from before appears. His name's Professor Proctor, and he's studying at the lab with his wife, Annie. Brock cries about the fact that Annie's already spoken for while May looks Lileep up on the Pokédex. She then tells Professor Proctor that she thought that Lileep and Cradily were supposed to be extinct, and Annie says that the Pokémon came from fossils. The young trainers eagerly ask Professor Proctor to explain how they made the fossil Pokémon came to life. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is spying on the doctor from the top of a tree.

Professor Proctor starts his explanation. Many many years ago, when all these fossil Pokémon were still alive, the Anorith who lived on a remote peninsula used to eat a special fruit. Over time, however, the land changed, and the peninsula gradually broke off into its own island, the island that's now known as Izabe Island. Professor Proctor then explains that they were able to extract Lileep from the Root Fossil, while Anorith was extracted from a Claw Fossil. Professor Proctor thinks that he'll be famous for the work he's done with the ancient Pokémon, but Annie tells the kids that they haven't made any official announcement to the scientific world at the moment.

Outside, Team Rocket is plotting to steal the fossil Pokémon. They plot something about how the Boss will be in the jungle with the Pokémon, and then for some reason he rips his clothes off to reveal a loincloth. As he swings on a vine Tarzan-style (Meowth even does a Tarzan yell for the Boss), they imagine the Boss flipping through the air, diving toward a waterfall as Aerodactyl fly beside him.

Back in the lab, it's time for another experiment! A cylinder with an Anorith in it rises from the ground and opens up. As either May or Ash looks up the Pokémon in the Pokédex, Annie says that the Pokémon is ready to evolve! After it evolves into Armaldo, Ash looks it up in his Pokédex. Professor Proctor and Annie seem happy, but their celebration ends soon when a net thrown by Team Rocket lands on the Armaldo! They start to pull the Pokémon in, but Armaldo responds with an {{m|Metal Claw}} attack. It breaks free of the net and uses Water Gun on Team Rocket, breaking them through the wall of the lab and blasting them off again. Suddenly, Armaldo turns on Ash and aims a Water Gun at the young trainer! Ash dodges as the fossil Pokémon starts going on a rampage, breaking every computer in the lab! The Pokémon then runs out the hole made by Team Rocket and starts running.

In the forest, we see Ash and the others running after Armaldo in the forest. Far ahead, Armaldo is seen eating apples from a tree, looking disappointed, and spitting them out. Soon, Ash and the others catch up. They ask Armaldo to return to the lab, but the Pokémon responds by firing a Water Gun at them. Everyone dodges the attack and runs behind a bush, where they wonder what to do.

Suddenly, Pikachu jumps in front of the Armaldo and begins talking to it. The group is happy that Pikachu is trying to talk things out, so they decide to all send their Bug-Types out to talk to it (since Armaldo itself is part Bug-Type). May releases her Beautifly while Brock releases his Forretress, and the two Bug-Types join Pikachu in trying to calm Armaldo down. The talks fail, however, when Armaldo uses Metal Claw attack on the Pokémon. They're all able to dodge, and as they assess the situation Armaldo takes another apple, bites into it, and spits it out. As Professor Proctor takes notice of this behavior, Ash calls on his Corphish and orders it to use Crab Hammer on Armaldo. However, it's ineffective as the fossil Pokémon merely swats Corphish away like some sort of insect. Corphish recovers and uses Bubblebeam, but Armaldo counters it with a Water Gun attack. The two attacks collide and a battle of strength occurs, but Armaldo's Water Gun proves to be more powerful. It blasts through Corphish's Bubblebeam attack and hits Corphish, causing it to faint. The Pokémon then uses its Iron Claw attack to burrow underground, disappearing from the battle site.

As everyone recovers from their failed attempts, Professor Proctor figures out why Armaldo is so upset—it's looking for food. It wants the special berries that used to grow during the days when the island was a peninsula, but now those berries aren't as plentiful anymore. However, they can still be found on the island, but now they're restricted to the top point of the crescent-shaped island. So, everyone decides to head toward the berries.

At the edge of the island, Armaldo arrives, as does Ash and the gang. However, it's grabbed by a Team Rocket mecha before it gets a chance to eat! The mecha is a tank-type machine with arms, and it's supposed to be super-strong. After Team Rocket says their motto, Meowth says that they should go back to the lab to grab the Lileep there, so the tank-mecha makes its way to the lab. Professor Proctor doesn't give up, though, and he chases the tank until he's close enough to jump on the back. The Armaldo inside hears the thud created by Professor Proctor's landing and tries to scratch its way out of its container, but James (who's with the others in a cockpit separated from the containment area) repeats that the mecha was built to be super strong. Outside, Professor Proctor tries to talk to Armaldo. Unfortunately for him, James notices that they have a stowaway, so he drives erratically in order to shake the doctor off. Professor Proctor still clings on, so James has the mecha's arms grab him and toss him off the mecha. The doctor lands with a thud in front of Ash and the others, who are trying their best to keep up with the mecha.

Now it's Ash's turn to try getting Armaldo back. He has Pikachu use Thunderbolt, but the attack is useless on the super-fortified mecha. May then calls on her Bulbasaur, who uses Petal Dance on some rocks on the cliff above the mecha. The attack causes an avalanche of rocks to fall down, blocking the road. Team Rocket's mecha is unable to stop in time and flips over as it crashes in to the rocks. Just then, Max notices some different-colored patches on the bottom of the mecha, and guesses that Team Rocket was unable to afford to cover the entire mecha in the super-strong material. Professor Proctor tells Armaldo to aim at the weak spot, and the Pokémon obeys. It's able to Iron Claw its way out of the mecha! In addition, Armaldo seems a lot friendlier now!

But it's not over yet! Team Rocket has emerged from the mecha and is ready to attack, so Meowth jumps forward and tries to use Fury Swipes on the fossil Pokémon. However, the fossil Pokémon uses {{m|Rock Blast}} to bend Meowth's claws! Bulbasaur then steps in and uses Petal Dance, followed by Pikachu with a Thunder attack. With all these attacks combined, Team Rocket is sent blasting off again.

Now that Armaldo has been recovered, everyone is happy. The Pokémon has found its favorite berries and eats happily. May comments about how well Bulbasaur did in battle, and how she'll use Petal Dance in the next contest.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''Solid as a Solrock''' (Japanese: '''トクサネジム！ソルロックとルナトーン！''' ''{{tt|Tokusane|Mossdeep}} Gym! Solrock and Lunatone!'') is episode 100 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 28, 2004 and in the United States on November 5, 2005.

==Synopsis==

Tate and Liza's mother, Rachel, is acting as the referee for the match. She explains the rules of the double battle and gives a detailed explanation of the special field they're using. The field has mock-ups of all the planets orbiting the sun, creating obstacles that wouldn't be there ordinarily. Tate and Liza start by choosing Solrock and Lunatone. Ash instantly chooses Pikachu and, after thinking about how it would be good to have an aerial fighter against these particular foes and in this particular field, he chooses Swellow.

Outside, Team Rocket plots to steal Lunatone and Solrock. They launch into a Boss Fantasy, in which they imagine him being sad in the dark. Suddenly, Solrock and Lunatone arrive, filling the room with light. An ecstatic Giovanni, donning a top hat and suit, begins to dance happily as the two Pokémon continue shining light on the Team Rocket boss. After the fantasy concludes, Jessie and Meowth happily rush off to the Gym to begin, but James stops them. He explains that both Solrock and Lunatone are psychic types, so they'll be more difficult than usual to capture. Meowth says not to worry as he tells them his plan...

Back at the gym, the battle begins. Solrock uses Tackle on Pikachu, hitting the mouse Pokémon. Lunatone uses Tackle as well, hitting Swellow. Now it's Ash's turn. He orders Pikachu to use Quick Attack on Solrock and tells Swellow to use Peck on Lunatone. As Pikachu charges into its attack, Solrock floats out of the way, causing Pikachu to crash into one of the floating planets. The same thing happens with Swellow--it charges toward Lunatone, Lunatone dodges, and Swellow crashes right into a floating planet. Pikachu falls down, and soon after Swellow lands on it. Things aren't looking too good for Ash at this point.

Tate and Liza are now ready for the next attack. Solrock is told to use Solar Beam while Lunatone is told to use Ice Beam. The two attacks combine and are headed right for Pikachu and Swellow, who are still reeling from their last defeat. Suddenly, the two beams stop in midair! Ash wonders what has happened and soon he sees Tate and Liza arguing amongst themselves! They’re blaming each other for their mistakes, which is keeping them from continuing the battle. Ash sees this as his chance, so he orders Swellow to use Aerial Ace on Lunatone. The attack hits! Pikachu is also ordered to attack, so it hits Solrock with an Iron Tail attack. Tate and Liza notice that their Pokémon are getting beaten while they quarrel, so they both rejoin the battle and order their Pokémon to use Tackle attacks on Pikachu. Pikachu is about to be sandwiched by the two psychic Pokémon, but it is rescued when Swellow swoops in and scoops it up. Lunatone and Solrock crash into each other, which causes Tate and Liza to begin arguing again.

As the twin Gym Leaders blame each other for their constant blunders, the ground starts to rumble. Suddenly, a hole is blown into the roof, and Jessie and James appear! The two Team Rocket members ride in on a flying sun and moon, and they perform their motto like some weird operatic aria. The motto ends with the roof caving in even more, and we see a giant robot, piloted by Meowth! Meowth tells the group that this mecha has been designed specifically to capture Lunatone and Solrock! Liza complains about the battle field being ruined, so Tate and Liza send out their Pokémon to attack. The Team Rocket mecha fires two round cages. Lunatone and Solrock are ordered to use Psychokinesis, but the attacks are being absorbed by their cages! Team Rocket laugh at their futile efforts as the mecha makes its escape.

Ash and the others start chasing after, and they are able to keep up until they get to the cliff where Team Rocket has parked their giant Meowth balloon. Team Rocket attaches the mecha to the blimp, and soon the robot is seen dangling from the hot air balloon as Ash and the others arrive on the scene. Ash orders Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but the mouse Pokémon's attack isn't able to reach. So, Ash has Pikachu jump on Swellow and has them chase Team Rocket in the air. Jessie and James look worried, but Meowth tells them not to worry as he presses a button, causing the robot to fire yellow globs at the two Pokémon. Swellow presses through as Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on the mecha, causing it to release the two Pokémon. The newly-freed Pokémon are told to use Psychokinesis on the robot, crushing it into a small cube. The mecha explodes, and Team Rocket is sent blasting off again.

Now that everyone's safe, Liza complains about the gym field being destroyed. Rachel, her mother, suggests that they just have the battle there, on the cliff that Team Rocket took off from, and everyone agrees that this is a good idea. Rachel announces the start of the battle! Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on Solrock, but Lunatone slides in front of it and guards it with Reflect. The attack hits Pikachu, smashing it into a rocky cliff. Brock comments on how much better their combination has gotten since the Team Rocket battle.

After Pikachu recovers, it is ordered to hop on Swellow's back. The now-airborne Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on Solrock, but the same thing that happened before happens again--Lunatone reflects the attack right back at it. However, this time both Pikachu and Swellow are hit. Tate and Liza are surprised to see that Swellow doesn't seem to be affected as well, considering that it's a flying type.

Swellow is then ordered to use Double Team, creating copies which surrounds Solrock and Lunatone. The two psychic types fly back to back as Tate and Liza gauge the situation. Solrock uses Solar Beam while Lunatone uses Ice Beam as the two Pokémon spin around, sweeping the air and taking out all the shadow Swellow and Pikachu. Soon they're all disposed of, and Tate and Liza are confused about the whereabouts of the real Swellow and Pikachu. Suddenly, they see the two Pokémon flying from above, ready to strike! Solrock and Lunatone are ordered to quickly whip up a Solar Beam and Ice Beam combination, hitting Ash's Pokémon! The Pokémon start plummeting toward the earth, but Swellow is able to recover quickly enough and swoops up to safety in the knick of time.

Liza tells Ash that he'll never break through their combination as the young trainer wonders how he'll win. He notices some clouds forming overhead, and suddenly he has an idea. He tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt on the clouds, confusing the Gym Leaders. Soon, the clouds spit back a streak of lightning, directly hitting Pikachu and Swellow. Pikachu and Swellow iare being supercharged by the lightning and after the shock of electricity the two Pokémon appear to be covered in a golden coat. Ash is ready to attack.

The now super-powered Swellow uses Quick Attack, so Solrock fires a Solar Beam attack on it. Swellow and Pikachu are hit, but they just ignore it and power on through. Lunatone tries an Ice Beam, but its attack is just as futile. Golden-Pikachu uses Iron Tail on Solrock while Golden-Swellow uses Aerial Ace on Lunatone. Both super-powered attacks hit, and as the Pokémon’s golden power-ups fade, the two rock-type Pokémon faint! Rachel announces that Pikachu and Swellow have won the battle! Ash goes to hug his two Pokémon and receives a shock from the two. Guess they're still a little supercharged from their battle...

After the battle, Tate and Liza give Ash his Gym Badge. As he proudly holds the Mind Badge up, the narrator announces that he only has one badge left before the Hoenn League!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Synopsis==
===Intro===
The episode opens with a recap of the previous episode’s events. After that, it’s back to the [[Team Magma]] vs [[Team Aqua]] confrontation from the last episode. We see the ocean beginning to get violent, and [[Shelly]] warns [[Archie]] that {{p|Kyogre}} is on the loose. Archie summons Kyogre with the [[Red Orb]]. Team Magma begins to protest, so Shelly orders Team Aqua to bring out their Pokémon to protect Archie. They send out their {{p|Walrein}}, and Team Magma sends out their {{p|Mightyena}}. As the Pokémon battle it out, Archie makes his escape in some kind of mini-helicopter. [[Tabitha]] advises [[Maxie]] that they have to stop Archie. Tabitha then barks an order to the still-disguised [[Lance]], who hurries off. Just then, [[Brock]], {{an|May}}, and [[Max]] arrive, stopping far enough away and behind some bushes so as not to be seen. They comment with surprise that both teams are present.

===Act I===
Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] is cowering in fear on a rocky ledge at the shore. From his mini-copter, Archie holds up the orb and summons Kyogre, who appears amid a thunderstorm and a raging ocean, while Shelly and the rest of Team Aqua worries about what will happen. Lance, who is standing next to Maxie, removes his hood and calls up to Archie, warning him to stop before anything worse happens, but Archie ignores him. As Kyogre is wreaking havoc out on the water in response to Archie’s commands, Shelly tells the rest of Team Aqua to recall their Pokémon for their own safety. Tabitha tells Team Magma to do the same. Lance now informs Maxie that Kyogre and {{p|Groudon}} are about to fight, and explains the world-shaking consequences of such a conflict, as Archie laughs maniacally from his mini-chopper. Kyogre’s disturbance causes a tremor that makes the downed Magma helicopter to shift, throwing {{Ash}} and {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}} around. The same tremor throws Lance and Maxie to the ground. Inside, Pikachu awakens, and its body is taken over by the orb again. It goes insane again, and one of its attacks causes a small hole that’s just big enough for it to leap through. It does so and runs off.

Brock and the others, meanwhile, are searching for Ash near the Magma chopper, when they meet up with Lance. They’re happy to see each other, and Lance removes his Magma disguise completely, as it’s no longer needed. They happen to be standing outside what apparently is the hole Pikachu made, and Ash hears them from inside. Ash tells them what happened with Pikachu. They notice something behind them, and Max exclaims that there’s a giant tsunami coming! Lance tells Ash to back away from the hole, and he then sends out his Dragonite, who uses its {{m|Dragon Claw}} to make the hole large enough for Ash to get out.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is still on the shore, cowering in fear at the storm. As they sit there, Team Aqua’s sub suddenly washes up on shore, nearly crushing them! Back at the helicopter, Ash is now free, so it’s time to find Pikachu. Ash thanks Lance, and they split up. Lance rides off on Dragonite to look from the air, and Ash & friends run off in another direction.

The scene then changes to Team Aqua. Shelly is worried about Archie, and she tells the rest of the team to leave because they’re all in danger. Flying in his mini-chopper above Kyogre, Archie is basking in his power. Riding {{p|Dragonite}}, Lance approaches Archie and calls for him to stop. Archie responds by ordering Kyogre to attack. It fires a {{m|Hydro Pump}} at Lance and Dragonite, which Dragonite is able to dodge. Lance calls for his nearby Red Gyarados to use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and Archie tells Kyogre to do the same. The beams collide, and it ends in a stalemate. Archie just laughs, proclaiming that the world is his now. Suddenly, the Red Orb he’s holding absorbs into his hand, in the same way the [[Blue Orb]] did with Pikachu! Archie screams, then laughs insanely as the orb’s throbbing markings appear on his chest.

===Act II===
Back on land, Team Rocket discuss their situation and examine Team Magma’s sub. When they confirm through an on board computer that Groudon is in the large metal box at the top, Meowth launches into a storybook-style fantasy about what they’d do with Groudon and Kyogre. Suddenly, a lightning bolt out of nowhere shocks Team Rocket—it’s the possessed Pikachu! Jessie comments on how strange it looks. Ash and friends run towards Pikachu, but it leaps off the ledge it was on and lands on top of the metal box containing Groudon. Maxie and Tabitha arrive at the sub in time to see Pikachu channel the lightning from the storm into itself and amplify its power. James whips out a bazooka and aims it at Pikachu, but it quickly shocks them and sends them blasting off. Pikachu is still calling on the lightning, and everyone else can do nothing but watch. Then, the biggest lightning bolt yet comes crashing down towards Pikachu and the box, sending enough of a shock through the containment system to awaken Groudon! Archie and Kyogre watch intently as the lightning creates an explosion and Ash screams out for Pikachu. The volcano on the island erupts as Groudon’s {{a|Drought}} ability begins to take effect, bringing an end to the storm. Groudon then comes into full view, and Pikachu lands on its head. Ash and friends are happy that it’s still alive. Max points out that the tsunami is still coming, though. Groudon has things under control though, as it powers up and launches a {{m|SolarBeam}} at the giant wave, causing it to evaporate. On land, members of both teams comment on how truly powerful Groudon and Kyogre are. Apparently, neither side had realized it would come to this. Still on Dragonite, Lance notices Pikachu on Groudon’s head, and lands next to Ash & co. Lance warns them of the danger and says they should make a run for it. Ash says he won’t leave Pikachu, and his friends agree to stay as well. They also decide that since Pikachu has apparently sided with Groudon, they will too.

Out on the water, Kyogre fires a Hydro Pump at Groudon, and Max exclaims that the attack would do major damage because of Groudon’s {{type2|Ground}}. Groudon is safe though, as Pikachu deflects the attack with a super-powered {{m|Thunderbolt}}. The sun’s rays are beginning to energize Groudon now. Lance tells Ash to come with him, and tells Brock and the others to take his Red {{p|Gyarados}} and try to stop Archie. Just as Dragonite carries Ash and Lance out over the water, Kyogre pulls Groudon underwater. Ash screams out for Pikachu, but Lance says to wait. Sure enough, they both resurface. As Kyogre’s Hyper Beam collides with Groudon’s {{m|Mud Shot}}, Brock and May go into action, sending out {{p|Mudkip}} and {{p|Beautifly}}. Their Pokémon attack Archie’s mini-chopper with {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Silver Wind}}, but only do minimal damage. Worse, Archie has now noticed their presence, so he sends Kyogre after them. Max calls for Gyarados to swim away. As they keep Kyogre occupied, Groudon fires a SolarBeam at it. Archie alerts Kyogre, who puts up another giant wave as a shield, but the SolarBeam bursts right through and scores a powerful hit on Kyogre, sending it flying back to land in the water again. Above, we see Archie’s body rejecting the orb, which was apparently caused when Kyogre got hit. The orb emerges from Archie’s body, and Archie faints and falls off his chopper, but Dragonite catches him. The same thing that happened to Archie is also now happening to Pikachu. It yells as the orb removes itself from its body. Pikachu faints as well and falls off Groudon’s head, landing in the water. Ash promptly leaps off Dragonite, diving in after Pikachu. Brock tells Gyarados to go down and save them. Ash catches Pikachu underwater, but Kyogre is approaching them!

The scene then changes to shore. Lance and Dragonite have landed with Archie. Lance, Dragonite, Tabitha and Maxie look on as Shelly worriedly tries to get Archie to wake up. He slowly comes around, but seems to have no memory of what happened while he was possessed by the orb.

===Conclusion===
Presently, Ash and Pikachu emerge from the water, on Kyogre’s back! Gyarados catches up to them, and Ash’s friends ask if he’s all right. Ash tells them that Kyogre had saved him, and then Pikachu wakes up. Ash and Pikachu have a happy reunion. Lance and Dragonite show up next to Ash, and Lance asks if he’d like a ride back to shore. Max then points out the two orbs, rising in the air and circling each other. They combine into one, and then dissipate. Groudon and Kyogre stare at each other briefly, and now that neither of them is linked to an orb, they retreat back to their respective lairs: Groudon into the volcano, and Kyogre to an ocean trench. Lance and the others discuss the day’s events, and Lance says that the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] will start a new world, as Ash wonders where they’ll go.

==Synopsis==
===Introduction===
At the end of the previous episode, {{tp|Ash|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} had blasted off [[Team Rocket]] one way, and Pikachu, {{Ash}}, and friends the other way. Ash and friends are now floating in the ocean, hanging onto logs, wondering what to do now. Suddenly, a giant submarine surfaces right under them! They are now riding it, and conclude that someone has rescued them. They call out towards the submarine’s conning tower, trying to attract someone’s attention, when to their surprise, a [[Team Magma]] member rises from it! They hide as the member, who turns out to be our old friend [[Tabitha]], looks through his binoculars towards their destination up ahead. (Apparently, he hadn’t heard their calls, but was coming up on his own anyway.) From their hiding place out of Tabitha’s view, Ash & friends recognize him and realize the sub belongs to Team Magma. They watch as the sub heads for an opening in a much larger ship ahead.

===Act I===
Once the sub reaches the dock inside, two crew members acknowledge their boss, [[Maxie]], who is waiting for them. Maxie notices Ash and friends, now exposed to everyone’s sight, frantically looking for another place to hide. After forcing them on deck with their hands raised, the team then encircles Ash and friends, and they use two of their Mightyena to guard the prisoners. While they talk, another female Magma member slips unnoticed out of the sub, and heads off another way. Maxie and Tabitha confer briefly about the possibility of [[Team Aqua]] being nearby, then the scene switches to the mysterious female Magma member. She approaches two male grunts that are guarding a door. Two well-placed punches later, both grunts are out cold. The woman then pulls back her hood to reveal that she is actually Tactical Commander [[Shelly]] of Team Aqua. She goes into the door, entering a room that houses {{p|Kyogre}}’s containment chamber. Yes, Team Magma has captured Kyogre, and Team Aqua wants it. Shelly punches a code into the control panel for the chamber, and a rush of steam comes from several vents inside it.

Meanwhile, Team Magma has taken their captives to Maxie’s office on the ship. Maxie tells Ash and friends to sit down so they can talk, but Ash angrily refuses, saying he’d rather stand. In response, the {{p|Mightyena}} growl fiercely at the captives. This frightens May and Max, and the group finally sits down. Ash promptly yells at Maxie, the Mightyena growl again, and May calls Ash’s name in a scared voice, meaning he should calm down. Tabitha jumps in, saying nobody talks to his boss that way, but Maxie calms him down. Maxie goes on to explain about their plans to increase the earth’s land, and surprises Ash and friends by saying they plan to awaken the [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]] {{p|Groudon}}. They have currently captured Kyogre, which Team Aqua is after, and they know that Team Aqua has Groudon, so they want to swap prisoners. The [[Blue Orb]] rises from Maxie’s desk, and he explains that whoever holds the orb can control Groudon, giving him ultimate power. Team Magma plans to use that power to increase the world’s land and finally defeat Team Aqua.

Meanwhile, Shelly has now managed to increase the humidity in Kyogre’s chamber to enough of a level that it can be revived. Alarm sirens sound in that room, and even as far up as Maxie’s office. Everyone is startled, and Maxie hits the button for the intercom on his desk. A Magma grunt’s voice on the intercom explains the situation. Kyogre has now fully awakened, and Shelly calls out for it to break free. It breaks its bonds without much difficulty, but can’t break its muzzle. Regardless, it plunges through the wall and into the ocean, causing the ship to tilt violently to one side. A red-haired male Magma grunt confronts Shelly on the ship’s deck. She removes her Magma disguise, revealing her Team Aqua wet suit, and leaps overboard into the water.

Back in Maxie’s office, scrambled intercom reports of the confusion related to Kyogre’s escape are still pouring in. Suddenly, a blast (apparently from Kyogre) knocks Maxie down and sends the Blue Orb flying. [[Brock]] exclaims that now’s their chance to get it, so Ash gets Pikachu to do so. Tabitha has the three Mightyena who had been guarding them try to stop Pikachu, but Pikachu jumps from one Mightyena’s head to the other, and finally to the orb. Pikachu lands, having successfully caught it. Suddenly, a quick cutscene shows an opening eye and a growl, and the Blue Orb starts to glow and absorb itself into Pikachu’s body! Pikachu writhes in pain briefly, and at Maxie’s suggestion, Tabitha takes the opportunity to have the Mightyena attack. Hearing them, a possessed Pikachu turns around and defeats all three with a supercharged {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Pikachu sways back and forth from the strain, and Tabitha pulls out a [[Poké Ball]], but just then, another explosion hits the wall behind him. Ash and friends take that opportunity to escape. Tabitha helps his boss up, and Maxie says they’ve got to get that Pikachu back.

Not far away, Team Aqua’s sub surfaces, as Shelly reports to Aqua Leader Archie that the operation to release Kyogre was successful. Archie holds up the [[Red Orb]], and it glows, summoning Kyogre, who releases a Hyper Beam at Team Aqua’s ship. On that ship, the red-haired Magma member pulls out a Poké Ball, noting that the situation has now turned drastic. But then he notices Ash and friends on the deck below him, recognizing Ash and wondering what he’s doing mixed up in all this. Brock says their only chance is to abandon ship, so he dives into the water along with {{an|May}} and [[Max]]. Ash and Pikachu are about to follow when they’re suddenly blindsided by one of Tabitha’s Mightyena. Tabitha gloats, having cornered Ash.

May, Max, and Brock now surface and wonder where Ash is. Then, they notice that he’s been captured! Tabitha and his two Mightyena are bringing Ash onto Team Magma’s helicopter. Tabitha confers with a teammate, while the mysterious red-headed grunt listens. The helicopter takes off from Team Magma’s ship as Archie watches from his sub. With the Red Orb still in hand, [[Archie]] promptly has Kyogre finish off the ship, so it is sure to sink. This creates a powerful downward current that pushes May, Max, and Brock deeper into the water, but…something…is following them.

===Act II===
The scene then switches to show Team Rocket, lying on a beach with the wind knocked out of them. This is where they had landed following the previous episode’s blastoff. They recognize Team Magma’s helicopter flying overhead, and wonder what they’re up to. Meanwhile, out in the ocean, a [[Alternate color|red]] {{p|Gyarados}} surfaces, carrying an unconscious May, Max, and Brock. They awaken, and May and Max promptly get scared when they realize they’re on a Gyarados, but Brock recognizes it as [[Lance]]’s.

While this is going on, it’s time for the big meeting between Teams Aqua and Magma. Magma’s helicopter lands, and the team gets out. Archie reveals that he has two Team Magma hostages, and offers to trade them for the Blue Orb. Team Rocket are watching this from not far off, and are stunned at the mentions of Groudon and Kyogre in the negotiations. After some more discussion, Archie reveals to Maxie that he already has the [[Red Orb]] and can control Kyogre, and that he’ll be unstoppable if he can get the Blue Orb as well. Team Rocket comments on this, and decide to catch Groudon and Kyogre to give to the [[Giovanni|Boss]] (as if that’ll happen).

Meanwhile, Ash and Pikachu are still trapped in Team Magma’s helicopter, and guarded by several grunts outside. Pikachu is still in pain from having absorbed the Blue Orb. Suddenly, it glows with those red markings again and breaks free of Ash’s grip. It then basically goes insane, letting out massive bursts of electricity everywhere, including one that just misses Ash, before finally fainting from the strain. Worried, Ash picks it up, but then notices the red-haired Magma member from earlier at the door. Ash is angry at first, but the Magma member removes his hood to reveal that he’s Lance! He quietly fills Ash in on the situation, and Ash explains what happened to Pikachu. Lance doesn’t think Pikachu is in life-threatening danger, so he reassures Ash and explains more about what’s going on.

By now, May and Max have calmed down about the Gyarados, since Brock has been explaining to them about who Lance is and how he and Ash know him, as Gyarados takes them to the island where everyone is. Another scene-switch shows Team Rocket observing Team Aqua’s sub. They know from what they overheard that Team Aqua is keeping Groudon and Kyogre captive there. Two Aqua guards with their {{p|Crawdaunt}} make their rounds, but after they have gone by one of the storage containers, part of the wall falls down, and Team Rocket emerges. They’d disguised themselves with a fake wall like the kind of thing some ninja trainers in Ruby and Sapphire use to blend in with their surroundings. They tiptoe off, and come to a control panel and monitor that shows where Kyogre is being held now. Jessie pulls out a bazooka, and {{MTR}} enters a password on the keyboard, but it doesn’t work. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] tease Meowth as he presses random buttons, eventually shutting down the computer. Jessie and Meowth argue, and Wobbuffet tries a button that causes an explosion. The door Team Rocket wanted opens, and they rejoice, but are stopped short by the Aqua guards and their Crawdaunt.

Back at the showdown between Archie and Maxie, Shelly receives a report on her radio about Team Rocket, and Archie blames Team Magma for the intrusion. Maxie denies any involvement. The scene switches to May, Max, and Brock running towards the action. A storm quickly starts, and they decide to hurry.

Meanwhile, James sends out {{p|Cacnea}} to deal with the Aqua guards’ two Crawdaunt. A single Pin Missile is all that’s necessary to let Team Rocket go by, and they quickly approach Kyogre’s tank. Jessie fires a net from her bazooka that envelops Kyogre, and she then presses a button that electrifies the net, attempting to weaken the Water-type. It seems that her voltage wasn’t nearly high enough though, since the electricity merely alerted Kyogre. It jumps out of the water, sending the electrified net back onto Team Rocket and blasting them off. The explosion causes a fire in Kyogre’s containment chamber.

Still captive in Team Magma’s helicopter, Ash is holding Pikachu, trying desperately to calm it down as it goes insane again, letting out bolts of electricity everywhere. Ash is getting hurt, but won’t let go of Pikachu this time.

===Next episode preview===
The narrator then sets the stage for the next episode, explaining the danger everyone is in if both Kyogre and Groudon are awakened (as Kyogre has been already), and the episode ends on that note, preparing for part 2.

==Synopsis==
===Introduction===
At the end of the previous episode, {{tp|Ash|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} had blasted off [[Team Rocket]] one way, and Pikachu, {{Ash}}, and friends the other way. Ash and friends are now floating in the ocean, hanging onto logs, wondering what to do now. Suddenly, a giant submarine surfaces right under them! They are now riding it, and conclude that someone has rescued them. They call out towards the submarine’s conning tower, trying to attract someone’s attention, when to their surprise, a [[Team Magma]] member rises from it! They hide as the member, who turns out to be our old friend [[Tabitha]], looks through his binoculars towards their destination up ahead. (Apparently, he hadn’t heard their calls, but was coming up on his own anyway.) From their hiding place out of Tabitha’s view, Ash & friends recognize him and realize the sub belongs to Team Magma. They watch as the sub heads for an opening in a much larger ship ahead.

===Act I===
Once the sub reaches the dock inside, two crew members acknowledge their boss, [[Maxie]], who is waiting for them. Maxie notices Ash and friends, now exposed to everyone’s sight, frantically looking for another place to hide. After forcing them on deck with their hands raised, the team then encircles Ash and friends, and they use two of their Mightyena to guard the prisoners. While they talk, another female Magma member slips unnoticed out of the sub, and heads off another way. Maxie and Tabitha confer briefly about the possibility of [[Team Aqua]] being nearby, then the scene switches to the mysterious female Magma member. She approaches two male grunts that are guarding a door. Two well-placed punches later, both grunts are out cold. The woman then pulls back her hood to reveal that she is actually Tactical Commander [[Shelly]] of Team Aqua. She goes into the door, entering a room that houses {{p|Kyogre}}’s containment chamber. Yes, Team Magma has captured Kyogre, and Team Aqua wants it. Shelly punches a code into the control panel for the chamber, and a rush of steam comes from several vents inside it.

Meanwhile, Team Magma has taken their captives to Maxie’s office on the ship. Maxie tells Ash and friends to sit down so they can talk, but Ash angrily refuses, saying he’d rather stand. In response, the {{p|Mightyena}} growl fiercely at the captives. This frightens May and Max, and the group finally sits down. Ash promptly yells at Maxie, the Mightyena growl again, and May calls Ash’s name in a scared voice, meaning he should calm down. Tabitha jumps in, saying nobody talks to his boss that way, but Maxie calms him down. Maxie goes on to explain about their plans to increase the earth’s land, and surprises Ash and friends by saying they plan to awaken the [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]] {{p|Groudon}}. They have currently captured Kyogre, which Team Aqua is after, and they know that Team Aqua has Groudon, so they want to swap prisoners. The [[Blue Orb]] rises from Maxie’s desk, and he explains that whoever holds the orb can control Groudon, giving him ultimate power. Team Magma plans to use that power to increase the world’s land and finally defeat Team Aqua.

Meanwhile, Shelly has now managed to increase the humidity in Kyogre’s chamber to enough of a level that it can be revived. Alarm sirens sound in that room, and even as far up as Maxie’s office. Everyone is startled, and Maxie hits the button for the intercom on his desk. A Magma grunt’s voice on the intercom explains the situation. Kyogre has now fully awakened, and Shelly calls out for it to break free. It breaks its bonds without much difficulty, but can’t break its muzzle. Regardless, it plunges through the wall and into the ocean, causing the ship to tilt violently to one side. A red-haired male Magma grunt confronts Shelly on the ship’s deck. She removes her Magma disguise, revealing her Team Aqua wet suit, and leaps overboard into the water.

Back in Maxie’s office, scrambled intercom reports of the confusion related to Kyogre’s escape are still pouring in. Suddenly, a blast (apparently from Kyogre) knocks Maxie down and sends the Blue Orb flying. [[Brock]] exclaims that now’s their chance to get it, so Ash gets Pikachu to do so. Tabitha has the three Mightyena who had been guarding them try to stop Pikachu, but Pikachu jumps from one Mightyena’s head to the other, and finally to the orb. Pikachu lands, having successfully caught it. Suddenly, a quick cutscene shows an opening eye and a growl, and the Blue Orb starts to glow and absorb itself into Pikachu’s body! Pikachu writhes in pain briefly, and at Maxie’s suggestion, Tabitha takes the opportunity to have the Mightyena attack. Hearing them, a possessed Pikachu turns around and defeats all three with a supercharged {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Pikachu sways back and forth from the strain, and Tabitha pulls out a [[Poké Ball]], but just then, another explosion hits the wall behind him. Ash and friends take that opportunity to escape. Tabitha helps his boss up, and Maxie says they’ve got to get that Pikachu back.

Not far away, Team Aqua’s sub surfaces, as Shelly reports to Aqua Leader Archie that the operation to release Kyogre was successful. Archie holds up the [[Red Orb]], and it glows, summoning Kyogre, who releases a Hyper Beam at Team Aqua’s ship. On that ship, the red-haired Magma member pulls out a Poké Ball, noting that the situation has now turned drastic. But then he notices Ash and friends on the deck below him, recognizing Ash and wondering what he’s doing mixed up in all this. Brock says their only chance is to abandon ship, so he dives into the water along with {{an|May}} and [[Max]]. Ash and Pikachu are about to follow when they’re suddenly blindsided by one of Tabitha’s Mightyena. Tabitha gloats, having cornered Ash.

May, Max, and Brock now surface and wonder where Ash is. Then, they notice that he’s been captured! Tabitha and his two Mightyena are bringing Ash onto Team Magma’s helicopter. Tabitha confers with a teammate, while the mysterious red-headed grunt listens. The helicopter takes off from Team Magma’s ship as Archie watches from his sub. With the Red Orb still in hand, [[Archie]] promptly has Kyogre finish off the ship, so it is sure to sink. This creates a powerful downward current that pushes May, Max, and Brock deeper into the water, but…something…is following them.

===Act II===
The scene then switches to show Team Rocket, lying on a beach with the wind knocked out of them. This is where they had landed following the previous episode’s blastoff. They recognize Team Magma’s helicopter flying overhead, and wonder what they’re up to. Meanwhile, out in the ocean, a [[Alternate color|red]] {{p|Gyarados}} surfaces, carrying an unconscious May, Max, and Brock. They awaken, and May and Max promptly get scared when they realize they’re on a Gyarados, but Brock recognizes it as [[Lance]]’s.

While this is going on, it’s time for the big meeting between Teams Aqua and Magma. Magma’s helicopter lands, and the team gets out. Archie reveals that he has two Team Magma hostages, and offers to trade them for the Blue Orb. Team Rocket are watching this from not far off, and are stunned at the mentions of Groudon and Kyogre in the negotiations. After some more discussion, Archie reveals to Maxie that he already has the [[Red Orb]] and can control Kyogre, and that he’ll be unstoppable if he can get the Blue Orb as well. Team Rocket comments on this, and decide to catch Groudon and Kyogre to give to the [[Giovanni|Boss]] (as if that’ll happen).

Meanwhile, Ash and Pikachu are still trapped in Team Magma’s helicopter, and guarded by several grunts outside. Pikachu is still in pain from having absorbed the Blue Orb. Suddenly, it glows with those red markings again and breaks free of Ash’s grip. It then basically goes insane, letting out massive bursts of electricity everywhere, including one that just misses Ash, before finally fainting from the strain. Worried, Ash picks it up, but then notices the red-haired Magma member from earlier at the door. Ash is angry at first, but the Magma member removes his hood to reveal that he’s Lance! He quietly fills Ash in on the situation, and Ash explains what happened to Pikachu. Lance doesn’t think Pikachu is in life-threatening danger, so he reassures Ash and explains more about what’s going on.

By now, May and Max have calmed down about the Gyarados, since Brock has been explaining to them about who Lance is and how he and Ash know him, as Gyarados takes them to the island where everyone is. Another scene-switch shows Team Rocket observing Team Aqua’s sub. They know from what they overheard that Team Aqua is keeping Groudon and Kyogre captive there. Two Aqua guards with their {{p|Crawdaunt}} make their rounds, but after they have gone by one of the storage containers, part of the wall falls down, and Team Rocket emerges. They’d disguised themselves with a fake wall like the kind of thing some ninja trainers in Ruby and Sapphire use to blend in with their surroundings. They tiptoe off, and come to a control panel and monitor that shows where Kyogre is being held now. Jessie pulls out a bazooka, and {{MTR}} enters a password on the keyboard, but it doesn’t work. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] tease Meowth as he presses random buttons, eventually shutting down the computer. Jessie and Meowth argue, and Wobbuffet tries a button that causes an explosion. The door Team Rocket wanted opens, and they rejoice, but are stopped short by the Aqua guards and their Crawdaunt.

Back at the showdown between Archie and Maxie, Shelly receives a report on her radio about Team Rocket, and Archie blames Team Magma for the intrusion. Maxie denies any involvement. The scene switches to May, Max, and Brock running towards the action. A storm quickly starts, and they decide to hurry.

Meanwhile, James sends out {{p|Cacnea}} to deal with the Aqua guards’ two Crawdaunt. A single Pin Missile is all that’s necessary to let Team Rocket go by, and they quickly approach Kyogre’s tank. Jessie fires a net from her bazooka that envelops Kyogre, and she then presses a button that electrifies the net, attempting to weaken the Water-type. It seems that her voltage wasn’t nearly high enough though, since the electricity merely alerted Kyogre. It jumps out of the water, sending the electrified net back onto Team Rocket and blasting them off. The explosion causes a fire in Kyogre’s containment chamber.

Still captive in Team Magma’s helicopter, Ash is holding Pikachu, trying desperately to calm it down as it goes insane again, letting out bolts of electricity everywhere. Ash is getting hurt, but won’t let go of Pikachu this time.

'''Training Wrecks!''' (Japanese: '''筋肉バトル!?ダブルバトル!!''' ''Muscle Battle!? Double Battle!!'') is Advanced Generation episode 96. It was first broadcast in Japan on September 30, 2004 and in the United States on October 8, 2005.

The group arrive on an island where trainers train themselves along with their Pokémon. While Brock, May, Max and Team Rocket are trapped into continual exercise, Ash has a tough double battle against a Quagsire and a Walrein using {{m|Ice Ball}}.
{{spoilers}}
{{Japanese version}}

==Synopsis==
===Introduction===
Still on their way to [[Mossdeep City]], Ash and friends arrive at [[Muscle Island]], which has two small mountains that are shaped like an arm flexing its bicep. After they disembark, May wonders where the nearest coffee shop is. Brock consults his guidebook, and they begin to explore. They soon hear a crowd of people chanting “one…two…one…two…” and wonder what’s going on.

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] crashes onto shore in their {{p|Magikarp}} sub, and they all quickly abandon ship, yelling in fright. After they take cover behind some boulders, Jessie asks Meowth exactly why they had to run. Before Meowth can answer, the sub is swept away by a giant wave. They stare in stunned silence before arguing over whose fault it was, and over the fact that they’re now stranded. Then they hear the same “one…two…one…two…” that Ash & friends heard earlier, and also decide to investigate.

===Act I===
The source of the chants turns out to be a nearby open area where a group of weightlifters are doing various exercises. One man wearing sunglasses is doing arm exercises with a heavy-looking steel [[Poké Ball]], another man is lifting a {{p|Geodude}} on each hand as if they were dumbbells, and a woman is doing sit-ups while a {{p|Blastoise}} spots her. Other exercises are going on in the background. Ash and friends watch as the leader of the weightlifting group, [[Rocky]], shouts encouragement to his friends. He then approaches and introduces himself. Brock asks Rocky if there are any shops nearby, and he says that there are none. He then asks about Ash’s journey, and then Ash figures out that the weight trainers are also [[Pokémon trainer]]s. Everyone introduces themselves, and Iwashimizu explains his group’s philosophy: that when trainers work on improving their strength, it inspires their Pokémon to do the same and thereby become stronger in battle. At Rocky’s invitation, Ash, Max, and Brock decide to try the weight training, much to May’s dismay.

Of course, Team Rocket is watching this whole scene from the nearby bushes. Meowth gets the idea that they should join the weight-training group as well. He has a vision of a paranoid Boss being comforted by the presence of a noticeably bulked-up Jessie, James, and Meowth as his bodyguards. Meowth begins to cheer, but Jessie interrupts him, saying it’s a stupid idea. James, however, is fired up, believing that physical weakness is a big reason they keep losing to the twerps and have yet to capture Pikachu. Jessie and Meowth are unimpressed by James’ dramatic display. Suddenly, the shades-wearing guy from earlier shows up and asks if they want to join the training program with the others. Jessie and Meowth are hesitant, but James immediately accepts.

Meanwhile, Max tries to lift the steel Poké Ball the shades guy was lifting so easily earlier, but can’t even get it off the ground. One of the weight trainers encourages him. Even May has decided to join them, and is even enjoying herself as she rides an exercise bike and has a conversation with the female Blastoise trainer from earlier. Rocky has assigned Ash and Pikachu to another mechanism. It consists of two ropes, hanging from one horizontal wheel each. The whole thing is attached to a generator via a pulley system. Ash and Pikachu are each clinging to a rope. When the machine is turned on, the wheels rotate, and the idea is for Ash and Pikachu to repeatedly change ropes. This turns out to be much more difficult than the two had anticipated.

Nearby, Team Rocket are happily running on a treadmill. They hesitate when Ash & friends approach, but ignore them and continue to run, sticking to their original plan. Ash warns Rocky that Team Rocket are dangerous, but he says that they welcome anyone on the island, that Team Rocket hasn’t done anything yet, and that they seem to be content just working out. As Jessie, James, and Meowth talk to themselves on the treadmill, Rocky suddenly challenges Ash to a battle! The other trainers say that Rocky is the strongest trainer on the island, but that only makes Ash more intrigued. May and the others want to watch, of course, but Rocky says that his group has a rule prohibiting spectators. Ash and Rocky leave for their battle, and the other trainers approach to say that May and the others can continue training. Meanwhile, on the treadmill, Meowth figures that maybe this battle will be their chance to get Pikachu, since it will eventually be tired out. However, Jessie and James aren’t paying attention, instead focusing on keeping up their rhythm.

Some distance away, Ash and Rocky take positions atop two rocks. Rocky announces the rules, saying that it will be a [[Double battle]], and Ash agrees. Rocky sends out a Walrein and a Quagsire, and Ash counters with Pikachu and Grovyle. Ash starts by having Pikachu fire a {{m|Thunderbolt}} at Walrein, but Rocky has Quagsire get in front of Walrein and take the attack. Ash and Pikachu thought they were off to a good start, but Quagsire emerges unscathed from the attack. Ash then remembers that Quagsire is partly a {{type2|Ground}}, so electricity won’t work on it.

While all this is going on, Brock, May, and Max, are all doing sit-ups, as a Geodude spots each of them. Jessie and Meowth, still on the treadmill, are tiring. To their dismay, the shades guy informs them that they aren’t done yet. James, however, is showing no signs of fatigue, and is still fired up to keep going.

===Act II===
Back at the battle, Rocky orders an {{m|Ice Ball}} from Walrein. Pikachu and Grovyle both dodge the move using {{m|Quick Attack}}. Pikachu aims an {{m|Iron Tail}} at Walrein, and Grovyle lunges towards Quagsire for a {{m|Leaf Blade}}, but their opponents switch positions and neither attack does much damage. In fact, Pikachu and Grovyle actually appear to take some recoil. Walrein charges up another Ice Ball, and Ash tries Pikachu’s Thunderbolt again, but Quagsire gets in the way once more. Walrein completes its attack, and the larger Ice Ball scores a direct hit on both of Ash’s Pokémon. It seems that Rocky’s strategy has been to train Quagsire to be adept at blocking moves, while Walrein serves as the powerhouse.

May, Max, and Brock are doing push-ups now, each with a Pokémon on their backs. Max has his sister’s Skitty, May has her Bulbasaur, and Brock has his Lombre. The humans are tiring and complain a bit. Jessie and Meowth are still tiring as well, but James is still at a jogging pace on the treadmill, as the weight trainers observe them. Jessie tries a plan to distract them and make their escape, pretending to notice a nonexistent Wobbuffet nearby. The plan backfires, though, because James is fooled as well, and shades his eyes as he looks for it. Jessie and Meowth facefault, and James continues to keep up the pace on the treadmill.

Back at the battle, Ash tells Grovyle to use {{m|Bullet Seed}}, but Quagsire and Walrein take cover behind some rocks. Rocky orders another Ice Ball from Walrein. Ash tells Grovyle and Pikachu to attack the ball with Iron Tail and Leaf Blade, but they aren’t quick enough, and the Ice Ball strikes them again.

At the training area, Max gets an idea. He tells the trainers that he wants to go get something he left back on the boat. They offer to get it for him, but May and Brock say that the item is really hard to describe, so they’d rather go themselves. They’re allowed to go, so they grab their stuff, and no doubt have to stifle smirks as they pass Team Rocket. Jessie and Meowth angrily yell at James for letting the twerps go.

Meanwhile, at the battle, Ash has no idea what to do next, but then he notices the time it takes for Walrein to charge its Ice Ball, as Pikachu and Grovyle dodge another one. He then gets an idea. Rocky orders another Ice Ball, and Walrein charges it up. Ash quickly tells Pikachu to hit Walrein with Thunderbolt. As expected, Quagsire takes the attack. It has to stay in one place to do so, so Ash takes advantage of that and has Grovyle Leaf Blade it, for a powerful hit. Pikachu then jumps on Grovyle’s head leaf, and Grovyle throws it towards Walrein. From the air, Pikachu releases another Thunderbolt, scoring a direct hit this time. Quagsire and Walrein both faint, and Pikachu and Grovyle are the winners! Rocky recalls his Pokémon, thanks them for a good battle, and congratulates Ash, complimenting him on his strategy. Rocky comments on what he has learned from battling Ash, and that’s when Brock and the others show up. They ask how the battle went, and Ash tells them he won. Rocky then points them towards the ferry they need to take.

===Next episode preview===
Later, Ash & friends are on a ferry bound for Mossdeep City, unaware that Team Rocket is also on the boat, disguised as sailors. James watches the twerps while Jessie and Meowth complain about their sore muscles. James says that now that they’re stronger from their physical training, this is their chance to steal Pikachu. They approach the twerps, and say that they’re inspecting all Pokémon on board. James reaches for Pikachu, but Ash instinctively grabs James’ arm, as Pikachu cries out. Ash demands to know who they are, and J&J start their motto. Meowth interrupts them to point out that if they’re going to do the motto, there’s no point in keeping the disguises on. Jessie agrees and says that they haven’t done the motto yet today either, so they remove the disguises and continue. When they’re done, James brags about their new strength while Jessie produces a net and snags Pikachu. Ash grabs it, and it turns into an all-out tug-of-war between the two sides, much to Pikachu’s discomfort. Pikachu finally lets out a Thunderbolt out of stress. It blasts off Team Rocket, but it also blasts off Pikachu, Ash, and the others! The episode ends with that cliffhanger, leaving their fate to the next episode.

'''The Evolutionary War!''' (Japanese: '''ハンテールとサクラビス！進化の謎！''' ''Huntail and {{tt|Sakurabyss|Gorebyss}}! The Riddle of Evolution!'') is episode 95 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on September 23, 2004 and in the United States on October 1, 2005.

The group arrive to a trio of islands and meet Professor Birch on the first one. Apparently, Clamperl on the second island evolve into Huntail while Clamperl on the third island evolve into Gorebyss. This has caused a heated rivalry between the two islands about which evolution is better.

== Synopsis ==
===Introduction===
[[Ash]] and friends are in a boat, still on their way across the ocean towards [[Mossdeep City]]. [[Max]] notices from the [[Pokénav]] that there are three islands just ahead. [[Brock]] has apparently looked it up already, so he explains about the [[A-B-C Islands]], and mentions that [[Island A]] has a [[Pokémon Center]]. A couple of {{p|Wailmer}} follow them briefly as they head for the islands. Suddenly, a bunch of kids race by them, riding their {{p|Huntail}} and {{p|Gorebyss}}. Ash and May check out Huntail and Gorebyss in their [[Pokédex]]es, and learn that they both evolve from {{p|Clamperl}}. Turning their attention back to the race, they see one girl get knocked off her Huntail. Ash & co stop to see if she’s ok. She is, and she resumes the race. Then, a young boy and girl go by on little pedal-boats, deep in an argument. The boy thinks Huntail is better than Gorebyss, while the girl believes the reverse. All of this has aroused the curiosity of Ash & friends.

Meanwhile, not far away, [[Team Rocket]] is pursuing the “twerps” as usual, in their {{p|Magikarp}} sub. Suddenly, they get stuck between two boulders underwater. They start pedaling at full power to try and break free, but the sub’s hull buckles, letting water gush in.

===Act I===
By now, Ash and friends have reached the Pokémon Center, and greet [[Nurse Joy]]. Brock flips out as usual, and Max drags him away. After a brief interruption so Joy can accept a call and a transported {{p|Corsola}} from another trainer, the group suddenly hear loud voices arguing. Turns out that this Nurse Joy is also a teacher, and her students have begun arguing in her absence over whether Huntail or Gorebyss is better. Joy quiets the kids down, then takes everyone out to the pool, much to the kids’ delight. On the way, Joy explains about the rivalry between the Huntail trainers and the Gorebyss trainers on these islands, and the regular water races they have.

At the pool, the kids (including the two from the beginning of the episode) are watching two Huntail and two Gorebyss swim around a man floating in the pool. The man turns out to be none other than [[Professor Birch]]! Joy is surprised to learn that Ash and friends know the Professor, and greetings are exchanged. May assumes he must have been doing some sort of research in the pool with the Huntail and Gorebyss, but Birch says he was just playing with them for now. Birch explains that he’s here to learn more about what makes Clamperl evolve into Huntail or Gorebyss. Birch fields a couple of questions from the kids, then explains that Clamperl evolve using either the [[Items#DeepSeaScale|DeepSeaScale]] or [[Items#DeepSeaTooth|DeepSeaTooth]], and produces models of the items to show the kids. He goes on to explain that he had heard that when Clamperl are placed in the water in the two other islands, they tended to soon evolve into either Huntail or Gorebyss, so he suspects he might be able to find the DeepSeaTooth and DeepSeaScale on those islands. Ash says he and his friends would love to come along, and Birch agrees to let them come.

A scene change later, they’re in a speedboat, ready to take off for [[Island B]]. Nancy (the young girl from earlier) joins them at the last minute. Unbeknownst to them, Keith (the young boy from earlier) is following in his pedal boat. Having reached Island B, Birch tastes the water from a waterfall inside a cave there. Just as he suspected, the mineral content seems very high, so he takes a water sample. Suddenly, the sound of a footstep behind them betrays the presence of Keith, much to Nancy’s annoyance. Keith is anxious to evolve his Clamperl into a Huntail, and had been eavesdropping. Birch explains that he fully intends to investigate *both* islands, and Keith accompanies them to Island C. This time, Nancy follows in the pedal boat. Same process here. Birch tastes the water, takes a sample, and Namiko accidentally betrays her presence. This time it’s *her* turn to eavesdrop on the enemy.

Back at the lab on Island A, Birch analyzes the water, and finally thinks he has the scientific stuff figured out. Keith and Nancy run up to the group, anxious for news, and argue briefly before May and Birch calm them down. Birch asks to see their Clamperl, so they all go out by the pool, and the kids send out the Clamperl. Birch says they look healthy, and if everything works out, they should each be able to evolve.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has made it to the pool (it has an opening to get in and out from the ocean) and they’re watching the scene from their sub. [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] wants to give all the Huntail and Gorebyss to the [[Giovanni|Boss]], and has a vision of him riding them like waterskis, similar to how the locals do it, except the Boss is riding both at once. [[James]] is skeptical, but Meowth insists, and [[Jessie]] likes the plan as well.

===Act II===
As the group continues to talk by the pool, TR suddenly makes their appearance, and they say their motto. They send a net out from their sub to catch the Huntail and Gorebyss, but Ash quickly sends out {{p|Corphish}} to cut the net. Jessie sends out {{p|Seviper}}, who attempts a {{m|Bite}} attack. Corphish counters with {{m|Harden}}, and Seviper just ends up hitting its head. Ash then orders a {{m|Crabhammer}}, and Corphish uses it to slam Seviper into the water. James sends out {{p|Cacnea}}, who after hugging James as usual, fires a {{m|Pin Missile}} at the Clamperl. The kids tell their Clamperl to use {{m|Iron Defense}}. The Clamperl close their shells, and the pins just bounce off. Jessie orders a {{m|Poison Tail}}, and Seviper jumps out of the water, but Corphish counters with {{m|BubbleBeam}}. Both Clamperl then use {{m|Water Gun}} together, sending Seviper and Cacnea back to the sub. Finally, a {{m|Thunderbolt}} from [[Ash's Pikachu]] sends TR blasting off. The kids celebrate, and the Professor says it’s now time to go look for the evolution items.

They go back to Island B to look for a DeepSeaScale. Keith finds it, and gives it to Nancy, who in turn gives it to her Clamperl. She expects an evolution, but nothing happens, so Birch suggests sending Clamperl to the Pokémon Center, since Clamperl won’t evolve right away when given the item. The girl agrees and they do so from the cabin on the island. On Island C, they again search, and find a DeepSeaTooth. Fittingly, Nancy finds it, and gives it to Keith, who gives it to his Clamperl. His doesn’t evolve right away either, so he sends it to the Pokémon Center as well.

Back at the Pokémon Center, the kids receive their Clamperl from Joy and send them out. They haven’t evolved yet, and Birch is briefly puzzled, but then they start to glow, and evolve into Huntail and Gorebyss! The kids take their newly evolved Pokémon out to the pool and watch them swim for a bit. Suddenly, TR shows up again, this time in a giant {{p|Kingler}} mech. Meowth sends one of the mech’s claws at Gorebyss. Nancy tells Gorebyss to dodge, and Keith tells Huntail to try a Bite attack. Huntail charges forward, but just bounces off the mech. Ash sends out {{p|Grovyle}} to use {{m|Bullet Seed}}, but to no avail, as that bounces off as well. Huntail and Gorebyss use a combined {{m|Water Pulse}}, which knocks the mech back briefly. TR quickly recovers and Meowth fires a claw at the two Pokémon. They dive in the water to dodge, but a net from the other claw catches them when they resurface. However, Grovyle promptly uses {{m|Leaf Blade}} to cut the net and free them. Nancy orders a {{m|Confusion}} from Gorebyss, and it levitates the mech. Keith takes the opportunity to order a {{m|Screech}} from Huntail. Pikachu then uses {{m|Thunder}} to blast off Team Rocket once more.

===Conclusion===
Now that the danger is gone, the kids admire how well their Pokémon worked together. May suggests that maybe now their feud can end, and the kids agree. Nurse Joy then calls to them, saying their boat is ready to leave. As the boat sets off, everyone shouts their goodbyes. Keith and Nancy, riding their Huntail and Gorebyss, catch up to the boat and tell the group that the Huntail and Gorebyss trainers have finally patched things up, now that they understand more about their Pokémon. After hearing this pleasant news, Ash and friends wave goodbye to the kids, as their boat rides off into the sunset, proud to have had a hand in solving another Pokémon mystery.

'''The Relicanth Really Can!''' (Japanese: '''ジーランスと深海の秘宝！''' ''{{tt|Glanth|Relicanth}} and the Deep Sea Treasure''), is Advanced Generation episode #094. It was first broadcast in Japan on September 16, 2004 and in the United States on September 24, 2005.

The group goes hunting for treasure at the bottom of the ocean with Relicanth as their guides. But Team Rocket also want the treasure and are willing to leave the group trapped in an underwater cave to get to it.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
Still on their way to [[Mossdeep City]], the group has now stopped off at a beach. Brock flips out over the girls in swimsuits while the others comment on the beautiful beach. Suddenly, they notice a shape in the water, and a weird, laughing seaweed creature emerges, scaring the group. Ash wonders if it’s a Pokémon, but Brock doesn’t think so. Then the “creature” drops a sack on the ground, and removes its weeds and mask to reveal that it’s actually a man in a wet suit. He introduces himself as Adam and produces a necklace made of [[Green Shard]]s from his sack. He explains that this is what he does for a living, diving in search of treasure such as this, and takes the group back to his shop. There we see many shells and such from various [[Pokémon]] for sale. Adam’s wife, Evelyn, examines the necklace as Adam tells her about what he found underwater.

After the couple explains more about their business and the various things they’ve dealt in, Adam tells of his plans to look for a long-lost treasure from a sunken pirate ship. We see a flashback of the ship sinking in a whirlpool during a storm, as the crew struggles in the water and escapes on lifeboats. Adam goes on to say that he believes there’s a connection between the local Relicanth and the treasure, because he found that necklace hooked onto a Relicanth. Ash then looks up Relicanth in the [[Pokédex]], and the group speculates for a bit. Adam expresses his determination to find the Relicanth again and hopes they’ll lead him to the treasure, and Ash says they would love to go with him.

Outside in the bushes, [[Team Rocket]] has overheard this whole conversation. Jessie and James want the treasure for themselves, but Meowth wants to give it to the Boss, as usual. He has a vision of Giovanni asleep in a super-rich-looking bedroom studded with gold and precious metals everywhere, and of course waking up to say he owes it all to Jessie, James, and Meowth. They cheer at the thought and determine to get the treasure.

Out on the ocean, Evelyn mans their boat while the others prepare to dive down in Adam’s submarine. After preliminary checks, it’s full speed ahead, and the diving mission is on. As the sub dives into the darker, deeper parts of the ocean, Adam turns on its headlights, illuminating some Wailmer, Huntail, and other Pokémon. Max spots a group of Chinchou, and the others talk about the Pokémon that live this deep in the ocean. Finally, a Relicanth appears on Adam’s monitor and radar. Just then, the ship shakes violently, and Evelyn radios down to check on them. Another monitor shows the cause of the disturbance—a giant Magikarp that is ramming the sub! Ash recognizes it as Team Rocket’s Magikarp sub and warns Adam about them, while Evelyn listens worriedly from above.

Inside Team Rocket’s sub, they peddle along doggedly, and James sends out Chimecho to give them added motivation. Meowth hits a button that fires two torpedoes at Adam’s sub. They connect, and the sub shakes again, causing damage to several instruments. TR pulls up alongside them and taunts via radio that they’ll get the treasure first. Everyone is ok, so Adam radios their situation to Evelyn and says they’re going after Team Rocket and continuing their mission. Ahead, TR are following a Relicanth they think might lead them to the treasure, when they notice their sub has started leaking badly. James and Meowth are worried, but Jessie wants to push ahead. That’s when the holes get bigger and water starts gushing in. TR loses control and is helpless as their sub is pushed along by a current. Adam and the others have caught up now and again have the Relicanth in their sights.

The sub starts experiencing turbulence again; it seems the currents this deep are pretty rough. Still, Adam suspects that they must be close and follows the Relicanth into a small tunnel. Above, Evelyn worriedly tries to raise them on the radio, but communication is now knocked out due to their location. Adam skillfully maneuvers the sub through the small tunnel, but the rough current knocks them against the sides several times. Adam finally loses control, and everyone hangs on and braces themselves.

The screen goes black, and an unconscious Ash is awoken by Adam. Everyone else appears to have been knocked out as well, but they awake with no harm done. All the sub’s interior emergency red lights are on now. The group looks out the window and discovers they’ve made it to shore in an underwater cave containing the pirate ship Adam had told them about! Adam rushes off to explore the ship while the others discuss their situation. Presently, a group of Relicanth emerge from the hull of the ship, and the humans admire them. Adam suddenly emerges, having found a treasure chest. Just as he is about to open it, they hear a voice from the water. It’s the radio from TR’s Magikarp sub, and they emerge and say their motto. Meowth hits a button that sends a rope out from the mouth of their sub, with a plunger at the end. It takes the treasure chest back into the sub, as Adam rushes forward in anger. Meowth stops him by hitting another button that sends out two more torpedoes.

Adam and the others duck as the torpedoes fly over them and strike the wrecked pirate ship, disturbing and endangering the Relicanth. TR gloat over their success, but notice that they are now surrounded by a bunch of angry Relicanth. TR yells at them, but to no avail. Jessie snatches the remote from Meowth and sends out two more torpedoes that fly towards the Relicanth. Ash quickly sends out Corphish, who destroys the torpedoes with {{m|BubbleBeam}}. TR takes the opportunity to make their escape, and they even make sure they can’t be followed. Meowth hits another button that sends two rockets out from the back of their sub, causing a cave-in at the tunnel entrance. Adam, Ash, and the others are worried, but then they notice the Relicanth are all starting to swim in one direction. One of them pauses to call out to the humans, who realize the Relicanth must know of another way out. They get back in the sub and follow the Relicanth to another underwater tunnel, but the current looks rough in this one too. Adam assures them that they’ll make it through.

Meanwhile, on the surface, Evelyn is still desperately trying to regain radio contact with the group. Finally, the speaker crackles to life. Adam explains what happened and says the Relicanth are leading them back up. Back on board the boat, Ash & co thank the Relicanth, while Evelyn scolds Adam briefly. But she has picked up TR on their radar, so they can still try to reclaim the treasure.

Some distance away, TR has also surfaced, and gloat over their victory, but that’s when Ash & co catch up with them, accompanied by the group of Relicanth. From the boat, May sends out Bulbasaur to grab the treasure chest with its vines. TR won’t let it get away that easily, and they grab the chest as well. Jessie sends out Seviper, who hits Bulbasaur with {{m|Poison Tail}}, breaking its hold on the chest and sending it flying. Brock sends out Mudkip, who attacks TR with {{m|Water Gun}} as the Relicanth join in with {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Bulbasaur grabs the chest again with its vines and gives it to Adam. Finally, a {{m|Thunder}} from Ash's Pikachu blasts off the Rockets.

Adam can now finally open the treasure chest. Inside, everyone is surprised to only find more Green Shards. Adam is disappointed, but Evelyn says she can make some great jewelry out of them, much to May’s delight. Evelyn even offers to make something out of them for May, who happily thanks her. Adam thanks the Relicanth for everything, and expresses determination to continue his treasure-hunting adventures. As the sun sets, it’s now time for Ash and friends to continue towards Mossdeep City.

Adam and the others duck as the torpedoes fly over them and strike the wrecked pirate ship, disturbing and endangering the Relicanth. TR gloat over their success, but notice that they are now surrounded by a bunch of angry Relicanth. TR yells at them, but to no avail. Jessie snatches the remote from Meowth and sends out two more torpedoes that fly towards the Relicanth. Ash quickly sends out Corphish, who destroys the torpedoes with {{m|BubbleBeam}}. TR takes the opportunity to make their escape, and they even make sure they can’t be followed. Meowth hits another button that sends two rockets out from the back of their sub, causing a cave-in at the tunnel entrance. Adam, Ash, and the others are worried, but then they notice the Relicanth are all starting to swim in one direction. One of them pauses to call out to the humans, who realize the Relicanth must know of another way out. They get back in the sub and follow the Relicanth to another underwater tunnel, but the current looks rough in this one too. Adam assures them that they’ll make it through.

Meanwhile, on the surface, Evelyn is still desperately trying to regain radio contact with the group. Finally, the speaker crackles to life. Adam explains what happened and says the Relicanth are leading them back up. Back on board the boat, Ash & co thank the Relicanth, while Evelyn scolds Adam briefly. But she has picked up TR on their radar, so they can still try to reclaim the treasure.

Some distance away, TR has also surfaced, and gloat over their victory, but that’s when Ash & co catch up with them, accompanied by the group of Relicanth. From the boat, May sends out Bulbasaur to grab the treasure chest with its vines. TR won’t let it get away that easily, and they grab the chest as well. Jessie sends out Seviper, who hits Bulbasaur with {{m|Poison Tail}}, breaking its hold on the chest and sending it flying. Brock sends out Mudkip, who attacks TR with {{m|Water Gun}} as the Relicanth join in with {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Bulbasaur grabs the chest again with its vines and gives it to Adam. Finally, a {{m|Thunder}} from Ash's Pikachu blasts off the Rockets.

Adam can now finally open the treasure chest. Inside, everyone is surprised to only find more Green Shards. Adam is disappointed, but Evelyn says she can make some great jewelry out of them, much to May’s delight. Evelyn even offers to make something out of them for May, who happily thanks her. Adam thanks the Relicanth for everything, and expresses determination to continue his treasure-hunting adventures. As the sun sets, it’s now time for Ash and friends to continue towards Mossdeep City.

'''The Relicanth Really Can!''' (Japanese: '''ジーランスと深海の秘宝！''' ''{{tt|Glanth|Relicanth}} and the Deep Sea Treasure''), is Advanced Generation episode #094. It was first broadcast in Japan on September 16, 2004 and in the United States on September 24, 2005.

The group goes hunting for treasure at the bottom of the ocean with Relicanth as their guides. But Team Rocket also want the treasure and are willing to leave the group trapped in an underwater cave to get to it.

==Synopsis==
Still on their way to [[Mossdeep City]], the group has now stopped off at a beach. Brock flips out over the girls in swimsuits while the others comment on the beautiful beach. Suddenly, they notice a shape in the water, and a weird, laughing seaweed creature emerges, scaring the group. Ash wonders if it’s a Pokémon, but Brock doesn’t think so. Then the “creature” drops a sack on the ground, and removes its weeds and mask to reveal that it’s actually a man in a wet suit. He introduces himself as Adam and produces a necklace made of [[Green Shard]]s from his sack. He explains that this is what he does for a living, diving in search of treasure such as this, and takes the group back to his shop. There we see many shells and such from various [[Pokémon]] for sale. Adam’s wife, Evelyn, examines the necklace as Adam tells her about what he found underwater.

After the couple explains more about their business and the various things they’ve dealt in, Adam tells of his plans to look for a long-lost treasure from a sunken pirate ship. We see a flashback of the ship sinking in a whirlpool during a storm, as the crew struggles in the water and escapes on lifeboats. Adam goes on to say that he believes there’s a connection between the local Relicanth and the treasure, because he found that necklace hooked onto a Relicanth. Ash then looks up Relicanth in the [[Pokédex]], and the group speculates for a bit. Adam expresses his determination to find the Relicanth again and hopes they’ll lead him to the treasure, and Ash says they would love to go with him.

Outside in the bushes, [[Team Rocket]] has overheard this whole conversation. Jessie and James want the treasure for themselves, but Meowth wants to give it to the Boss, as usual. He has a vision of Giovanni asleep in a super-rich-looking bedroom studded with gold and precious metals everywhere, and of course waking up to say he owes it all to Jessie, James, and Meowth. They cheer at the thought and determine to get the treasure.

Out on the ocean, Evelyn mans their boat while the others prepare to dive down in Adam’s submarine. After preliminary checks, it’s full speed ahead, and the diving mission is on. As the sub dives into the darker, deeper parts of the ocean, Adam turns on its headlights, illuminating some Wailmer, Huntail, and other Pokémon. Max spots a group of Chinchou, and the others talk about the Pokémon that live this deep in the ocean. Finally, a Relicanth appears on Adam’s monitor and radar. Just then, the ship shakes violently, and Evelyn radios down to check on them. Another monitor shows the cause of the disturbance—a giant Magikarp that is ramming the sub! Ash recognizes it as Team Rocket’s Magikarp sub and warns Adam about them, while Evelyn listens worriedly from above.

Inside Team Rocket’s sub, they peddle along doggedly, and James sends out Chimecho to give them added motivation. Meowth hits a button that fires two torpedoes at Adam’s sub. They connect, and the sub shakes again, causing damage to several instruments. TR pulls up alongside them and taunts via radio that they’ll get the treasure first. Everyone is ok, so Adam radios their situation to Evelyn and says they’re going after Team Rocket and continuing their mission. Ahead, TR are following a Relicanth they think might lead them to the treasure, when they notice their sub has started leaking badly. James and Meowth are worried, but Jessie wants to push ahead. That’s when the holes get bigger and water starts gushing in. TR loses control and is helpless as their sub is pushed along by a current. Adam and the others have caught up now and again have the Relicanth in their sights.

The sub starts experiencing turbulence again; it seems the currents this deep are pretty rough. Still, Adam suspects that they must be close and follows the Relicanth into a small tunnel. Above, Evelyn worriedly tries to raise them on the radio, but communication is now knocked out due to their location. Adam skillfully maneuvers the sub through the small tunnel, but the rough current knocks them against the sides several times. Adam finally loses control, and everyone hangs on and braces themselves.

The screen goes black, and an unconscious Ash is awoken by Adam. Everyone else appears to have been knocked out as well, but they awake with no harm done. All the sub’s interior emergency red lights are on now. The group looks out the window and discovers they’ve made it to shore in an underwater cave containing the pirate ship Adam had told them about! Adam rushes off to explore the ship while the others discuss their situation. Presently, a group of Relicanth emerge from the hull of the ship, and the humans admire them. Adam suddenly emerges, having found a treasure chest. Just as he is about to open it, they hear a voice from the water. It’s the radio from TR’s Magikarp sub, and they emerge and say their motto. Meowth hits a button that sends a rope out from the mouth of their sub, with a plunger at the end. It takes the treasure chest back into the sub, as Adam rushes forward in anger. Meowth stops him by hitting another button that sends out two more torpedoes.

Adam and the others duck as the torpedoes fly over them and strike the wrecked pirate ship, disturbing and endangering the Relicanth. TR gloat over their success, but notice that they are now surrounded by a bunch of angry Relicanth. TR yells at them, but to no avail. Jessie snatches the remote from Meowth and sends out two more torpedoes that fly towards the Relicanth. Ash quickly sends out Corphish, who destroys the torpedoes with {{m|BubbleBeam}}. TR takes the opportunity to make their escape, and they even make sure they can’t be followed.

== Synopsis ==

Thanks to Geodude for the synopsis.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''Judgement Day!''' (Japanese: '''あの三匹登場！審判学校の島！''' ''Enter Those Three! Referee School Island!'') is episode 92 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on September 2, 2004 and in the United States on September 10, 2005.

== Synopsis ==

Thanks to [[Archaic]] for the synopsis.

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Synopsis ==

Thanks to [[Archaic]] for the synopsis.

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

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

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

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

== Synopsis ==

Thanks to [[Zak]] for the synopsis.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As {{Ash}} and friends are walking in the woods on their way to the ferry port in [[Lilycove City]]; {{AP|Pikachu}} is exceptionally happy. However Pikachu’s happiness doesn’t last long when the ground starts shaking. A tree starts falling down and almost hits Pikachu. After the sand clouds clear a big machine appears and is holding Pikachu. Once again it’s a contraption belonging to [[Team Rocket]]. It’s a machine they call the Mean and Nasty, Grumpy Grabber Mark One. Ash orders Pikachu to do a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack however the attack doesn’t even phase the machine because it’s made of a bunch of insulated recyclables mixed in with a bunch of rubber hoses. Ash and friends charge at the machine however fall into a pitfall dug by Team Rocket. It seems that Team Rocket is winning until their machine starts sinking into the soft sand. After a short time the machine itself starts crumbling and then explodes causing everyone to fly in the air. Ash tries desperately to catch Pikachu however Pikachu is much lighter than Ash so he flies through the air much faster.

In the next scene it appears Ash had blacked out and is starting to come around when he asks if everyone is alright. Everyone else starts coming around as well and says that they’re okay as well. At least they think they are. [[Max]] asks what happened and {{an|May}} thinks that Team Rocket’s machine blew up. Then Ash remembers what happened and starts frantically calling for Pikachu. Ash tries to make a run for it; however, he’s stuck in a tree! [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are also affected by the blast. Not only are they pasted to a tree themselves but they lost {{MTR}}. Jessie thinks they should go back to base but James thinks otherwise since Meowth might be lost. When we see Pikachu he’s lying in the grass unconscious. Pikachu sits up looking dazed and confused. He also happens to be sitting on top of Meowth’s head. Meowth panics when he sees Pikachu realizing that he might get zapped by him but Pikachu doesn’t shock Meowth. Meowth brings out his claws to attack Pikachu but Pikachu doesn’t do anything but stand there. Soon Meowth realizes that Pikachu must have amnesia. So Meowth plots to convince Pikachu that he belongs to Team Rocket and has since the day he was born and how much he’s been through. Pikachu believes Meowth!

As we rejoin Ash and friends, Ash orders {{AP|Swellow}} to go look for Pikachu as [[Brock]] orders [[Brock's Marshtomp|Mudkip]] to look as well. Jessie and James are also lost in the woods. James calls out for Meowth and Jessie calls out for home base. James reminds Jessie that bases can’t talk. Going back to Meowth and Pikachu, they are strolling happily through the woods looking for the Team Rocket base. Meowth remembers all the traps and pitfalls they got into trying to catch Pikachu but as of today that’s all in the past. Then a {{p|Zigzagoon}} appears out of the bushes along with a Beedrill. Pikachu does a thunderbolt attack on the {{p|Beedrill}} and it flies away. Meowth thinks about how kind Pikachu is and wonders who’d be mean enough to capture it and then remembers he’s the bad guy so he would. Then Pikachu and Meowth continue their search for base.

Jessie and James and then seen walking along the water still looking for base themselves. Jessie is still calling out to base and James tells her the base can’t talk.

Next Pikachu and Meowth are walking on a narrow ledge. Pikachu has no problem but Meowth is afraid. Meowth goes back to thinking Pikachu’s kind and brave and only a complete jerk would capture and that’s Meowth. Meowth then tells Pikachu a lie on how he once saved Pikachu’s life when it was burning up with fever and Meowth was nursing him back to health. Then Meowth steps on a weak part of the ledge and falls through. Pikachu grabs Meowth by the tail and tries to pull him back up.

Ash and friends are still looking and calling for Pikachu. Then Mudkip gets a vibration of something to the right. They see the footprints from the same place as the earlier Beedrill attack. They recognize it to be the tracks of Pikachu, Meowth, and a Zigzagoon.

Meowth is seen sitting on the edge of a pond looking down at his reflection and thinking about that explosion must have knocked them half way across the country and no where near home base. Pikachu comes with an apple and is willing to give it to Meowth because Pikachu knew Meowth was hungry. Meowth learns that this was the only apple and Pikachu wouldn’t have had any so he decided to split it with Pikachu.

Going back to Ash and friends we see them walking along the narrow ledge that Meowth and Pikachu crossed moments before. Mudkip happens to notice more tracks and Brock mentions that Pikachu doesn’t see to be putting up any type of struggle. Ash agrees with him.

Swellow passes over head while Pikachu and Meowth are walking up a steep bank. Meowth is still feeling guilty on how it would be wrong to deprive Pikachu of his freedom. Pikachu then loses his balance and falls down the hill but Meowth catches him. Then they start walking up the hill again.

Jessie and James then finally reach home base and Jessie is thrilled. James also agrees that it might not be pretty but it’s what they call home. Jessie goes right on in and says it’s time to eat and they’ll wait for Meowth to turn up. James asks if it would be better to go looking for Meowth but Jessie says to put it in park and wait because she’s tired and hungry. But then Swellow comes in and sees Team Rocket’s base and goes back to tell Ash. Meowth and Pikachu also arrive at home base. Meowth goes up and starts yelling for Jessie and James to come out. Pikachu gets ready to give them a jolt but it’s only because he thought they’d hurt his friend Meowth. Meowth quickly tells them about Pikachu and so they will act like his friends too.

Mudkip is still looking for Pikachu and gets another vibration in the right direction. Swellow is also seen coming back from that direction too so they go over there and discover base.

Jessie and James are trying to convince Pikachu that there are his buddies and Pikachu falls for it. But then Ash comes and sees what is happening. Ash tells Pikachu how worried he was about him and asks Pikachu if he remembers him. Pikachu decides to go to Team Rocket rather than Ash. Ash is devastated. Ash continues trying to convince Pikachu that he is Pikachu’s friend. James commands Pikachu to give Ash a thunderbolt attack which sends him flying. Meowth commands Pikachu to do it again. Brock finally comes to the conclusion that Pikachu has amnesia. Then Team Rocket runs into their base, it explodes, and they come out with their balloon. Ash grabs onto the basket trying to get his best buddy back. James orders Pikachu to do a thunderbolt but shocked everyone. Ash and Pikachu start falling and Ash grabs on to him but they fall into a rushing river. They are then shown going down the river with several flashbacks playing.

Ash has since washed up on shore unconscious. Pikachu examines Ash and licks him on the face. Ash then starts coming around then and he sees Pikachu and notices Pikachu remembers him. Ash picks up Pikachu and hugs him. Ash starts tearing up but Pikachu wipes Ash's tears away. Brock, May, and Max finally catch up to Ash and Pikachu. Team Rocket falls from the sky and lands in the water and asks the twerps to help them out because they can’t swim. They all tell Team Rocket to help themselves. Ash commands Pikachu to give them a thunderbolt which zaps them into the air and sends them blasting off again.

Brock says how great it is to have anyone back again and May comments that it’s times like those that make you appreciate your friends. Then Ash closes by saying that they’d be friends forever.

'''The Garden of Eatin'''' (Japanese: '''バナナナマケロ園のカビゴン!!''' ''Banana {{tt|Namakero|Slakoth}} Park and {{tt|Kabigon|Snorlax}}!!'') is episode 88 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 5, 2004 and in the United States on August 27, 2005.

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==

On the way to Lilycove City, our heroes notice a big banner sign in the middle of nowhere, with a bunch of Slakoth munching on bananas. Brock checks on the map, and sees that there is indeed a Banana garden nearby, which is a habitat for Slakoth, who love bananas. Ash is also interested, because he also met Norman's Slakoth, so they decide to check it out. Max and May, however, start to argue about if its even worth checking out, but Brock then takes out his recipe booklet and shows them all the wonderful food that can be made from bananas, such as banana splits. May then gives in.

Suddenly, they come to an entrance to a big jungle-like reserve which must be the reserve. It seems to be closed, though but as Ash leans on the gate, to their surprise it moves, so they head on in. Oddly, it seems to be empty. While May is more interested in the bananas, which there seems to be no sign of, Max gets disappointed at the lack of Slakoth. Suddenly, a big, loud rumbling shakes the forest, scaring them out of their wits! Then a few more pounds tremble the earth under them, just when the ground begins to crack. Fortunately a young man comes running to their rescue. They all follow him, and get to a small house, which seems to be the reception office for the reserve.

The man then introduces himself as Marcel and he explains to them that the place is closed temporarily, because they are experiencing some difficulty. After the rumbling calms down, he shows them the window, and right outside they see a sleeping Snorlax! May looks it up in the PokéDex, and Marcel explains that the Snorlax has been terrorizing the Slakoth and eating all the bananas. A lot of the Slakoth have either run away, or have been hiding in fear without even a chance to eat the bananas, because of that Snorlax. Marcel then explains that he's been working on a plan to get rid of Snorlax.

Ash then remembers dealing with [[Ash's Snorlax|his Snorlax]] in the past. Of course neither Brock, May, or Max were there when he did it but they believe he can handle it pretty well. After all, Brock has met Ash's Snorlax when he used it in that Sumo tournament and the Johto League, but its currently at Professor Oak's lab. Marcel does indeed know Professor Oak, and knowing that Ash has captured a Snorlax, he trusts them that they're worthy enough to help him save the Slakoth, to which they agree.

Team Rocket then notice the sleeping Snorlax in the garden. Once again, Meowth comes up with another far-fetched plan to steal Snorlax and the fantasize about giving it to [[Giovanni|their boss]].

Back at the lodge, Marcel shows them the security cameras he has placed in the garden, as Ash and the others keep an eye on the sleeping Snorlax. Ash feels confident enough to battle Snorlax and maybe help get rid of it by capturing it in a Poké Ball. Suddenly, May notices on the screen that Snorlax is now wide awake, and feasting away on the bananas. Ash rushes outside to find it and challenge it, while the others follow.

As Snorlax nears the area where the Slakoth are taking cover, Ash finds it, and demands it to stop, and when it doesn't, he challenges it and threatens to capture it. It doesn't seem to care as it just continues eating, so Ash has Pikachu try its Thunder. But they find Snorlax still feasting on banana bunches, as if nothing happened. While Max and Brock are paying attention to the attack, all May seems to notice is that her precious bananas are still being eaten, to which Max and Brock sigh in disappointment. Ash then tries having Pikachu strike with its Iron Tail, but it seems to have caused no damage at all. Just then, Snorlax leans back with its mouth open. Brock warns Ash that Snorlax is about to counter with {{m|Yawn}}! Ash has no idea what that is but before he can ask, Snorlax releases many pink bubbles which hits Ash and Pikachu and they both collapse on the ground and doze off. Brock then explains that the attack causes drowsiness, as Max and May try and shake them awake. Unfortunately, Snorlax's Yawn bubbles hit them too, and they fall asleep as well. Before Brock and Marcel can do anything, it hits them too. Snorlax then dozes off as well.

At that moment, Team Rocket are flying over the garden in their balloon equipped with a lever and robot claw, searching for Snorlax. To their luck, they find not only it sleeping, but Ash and the others sleeping next to it! Meowth gently lowers the claw at Snorlax, trying not to wake it. Unfortunately for them, they don't know about its ability to attack in its sleep. Snorlax then uses Yawn attack, and the three of them fall asleep. While they are asleep, Meowth lets go of the lever, losing control of the claw which goes back up so fast that the balloon explodes and Team Rocket fall out of the balloon and land in a bush near the others.

A few hours later after they have all woken up, Marcel and the others are back at the lodge, Ash has decided to make a call to Professor Oak. Having explained the situation, Professor Oak is rather surprised they were hit by a Yawn attack. Max then reminds Ash of his Snorlax, so he asks Oak for it. Professor Oak says that he has been feeding it fresh PokéBlocks. Ash and the others are already familiar with PokéBlocks and their effects, and they are glad to see that he's feeding it some.

However, Oak tells them that Ash can't battle the other Snorlax with it because Snorlax needs to wait between meals to battle. But Professor Oak tells them that a decent way to evade Snorlax's Yawn attack would be to use a Pokémon with an Ability such as Vital Spirit or Insomnia, so it won't be able to fall asleep. Max ,having grown up with his dad, knows that Vigoroth has Vital Spirit! Seeing as there are Slakoth in this garden, there must be one close to evolution. To their luck, Marcel actually has been training the lead Slakoth, and it is at a pretty high level, so one more battle should evolve it.

As Marcel leads them to Slakoth's current hideout, he tries calling them, but they are too scared to come out. Then, he says he has a plan to get rid of Snorlax but he needs them for it, especially the lead one. But they are all too scared to move. So now Marcel tries to explain the plan and says that all he needs is one of them evolve into a Vigoroth and taking on Snorlax in a battle. While it is taking the Slakoth so long to decide and convince the leader to try, Marcel is about to give up, but the lead Slakoth jumps out of the bushes and agrees to do as Marcel wants. Marcel thanks it and they go off to train.

They start off with Marcel using Slakoth to face off in a battle against some of Ash's Pokémon. Ash chooses Pikachu, Torkoal and Grovyle to face off against Slakoth. Pikachu uses Quick Attack. Slakoth uses Counter and knocks it back. Torkoal uses Flamethrower but Slakoth easily dodges it. Grovyle then tries Leaf Blade, Slakoth counters with Scratch. As they continue the match all of Ash's Pokémon faints just as they had planned and Slakoth evolves! Now that Marcel has got a Vigoroth, they search for Snorlax.

They find Snorlax in a nearby grove eating banana bunches. Marcel challenges it for a rematch with Marcel's newly evolved Vigoroth. As he sends it to fight, Snorlax opens its mouth for a Yawn attack, but Vigoroth just pops the Yawn bubbles and keeps running, and hits it hard with a Scratch. Snorlax then fires a barrage of Hyper Beams which Vigoroth is fast enough to dodge. Snorlax uses Yawn again, but it fails. Vigoroth knocks Snorlax back with another Scratch, nearly fainting it. Vigroth now uses Focus Energy, but Snorlax is about to use Body Slam! Vigoroth then uses a Focus Punch, which knocks Snorlax out. Marcel then uses the [[Poké Ball]], and successfully captures it. Marcel congratulates Vigoroth, and just then all the Slakoth who have been watching from behind the bushes come out and hugs both of them.

With the problem finally settled, the reserve is now open again as a tourist attraction, and a Vigoroth has been added onto the sign and banner. To celebrate, Marcel has made them a banana cake with tiers, and a Slakoth on top! May thanks him greatly, but the rest of them think she's a bit too excited. Marcel then comes up with a use for Snorlax. Since a lot of traveling tourists come to this lodge, he's made a rest area room for people to take a nap with Snorlax using its Yawn to help them fall asleep, as well as the workers who stay there overnight. Afterwards Ash, Brock, May and Max head off for Lilycove City.

'''Crazy as a Lunatone''' (Japanese: '''神秘！宇宙から来たポケモン!?''' ''Mystery! A Pokémon from Space!?'') is episode 87 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 29, 2004 and in the United States on August 20, 2005.


A Lunatone from Space and starts manipulating the minds of those around it. Ash and friends promise to get Lunatone to where the full moon can be seen so it can recharge its energy but that won't be easy with the Pokémon Mystery Club out looking for it.
{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
At the crack of dawn, a meteor crashes on Earth and sends out a shockwave felt for miles. Of course, the PFC (Pokémon Fushigi/Mystery Club), which consists of Ken and Mary, are psyched about this, so they hurry to check it out. Taking out their flashlights and equipment, they use their skills to construct a mechanical vehicles with robotic arms. This mecha has a searchlight as well, so they use that to search for the meteor and successfully spot it. Next, they use a missile-launcher to blast it enough to get samples or maybe discover something.

Out of the meteor comes a bright glow, and within seconds, the Moon Pokémon Lunatone rises up from the rocks. This is the kind of exotic find that would especially spark the PFC’s interest, so now it's time to use the arms to grab Lunatone and study it. Unfortunately for them, Lunatone is very agile and good at dodging and evading the arms. As it sees it's chance, it uses its Psychic to lift the heavy vehicle, thus distracting Ken and Mary. They desperately try zapping it but just Lunatone just absorbs the energy, Lunatone then opens its eye and freezes Ken and Mary in its a red glow of Hypnosis. Lunatone floats away and escapes to the nearby town.

Ash and the others are making their way to Lilycove City and they decide to stop at Valley Town, ostensibly to rest at a Pokémon center. Team Rocket, who are
hiding in the nearby bushes and snacking on rice crackers, also heard the crash. They begin spying on Ash and company and of course, they're also interested in the meteor. They actually have an idea of where it landed, so as usual, they’re gonna get it for “the boss”.

Valley Town resembles a ghost town. No people on the streets, tumbleweeds rolling by, and basically a creepy vibe, a bit like Dark City in Kanto. They discover that the Pokémon Center is also deserted, without even a Nurse Joy behind the counter to welcome them. Well… maybe not, it seems she was just in the back room and, having heard them, she came to investigate. However, although Brock doesn’t realize it, she’s not very nice. In fact, she’s acting like she doesn’t know what they’re doing here, and when asked to heal Pokémon or let them stay, she rudely refuses, and tells them that this is a bad choice for a Pokémon Center, and walks out.

Everyone is flabbergasted at Joy’s strange behavior. Brock, however, considers himself the “Nurse Joy expert” and takes out of his backpack something he’s been hiding from us for a long time: a photo album of all the Joys! He claims to know them all very well, and NO Joy would ever act like that without reason. But anyway, since Valley Town Joy is being so stubborn, they might as well enjoy a good meal while at the Center.

People and Pokémon alike chow down, but Lombre suddenly seems to be picking up something but then shrugs and walks away. Seconds later, Brock realizes that Lombre is missing and its dish is still full. Apparently, Lombre heard something in the nearby bushes and decided to investigate, only to be grabbed by two suspicious-looking people, who have now caught everyone's attention. They instantly suspect TR, but are shocked to realize that these people have a PokéDex machine they are using to get info on Lombre. After getting the info, they decide to remove their masks, and reveal themselves as Ken and Mary from the PFC. Ash and Brock sure remember them from back when they helped that Cleffa. Ken and Mary tell them about the meteor crash and how they were the first to get to it. After much investigating, they found a mysterious Pokémon emerge, which must mean there are more Pokémon in outer space. Thinking fast, they say their goodbyes and rush off to look for it.

The person most interested in this seems to be Max, who can’t wait to discover it. Brock explains since it was been discovered that Clefairy came from outer space, so it’s possible that other Pokémon also come from outer space. Then, they realize that with such an incident as this one going on, its no wonder Joy would be busy, she’s probably studying data! They get back to the Pokémon Center to help, but are are careful not to annoy Joy.

Team Rocket are also just as interested, so while spying on them in the bushes, they decide to follow them to the center. Unfortunately for TR, it's closed by the time they get there, so they will have to get in through the window. With a simple ladder, it’s pretty darn easy for them. However, they make a bit too big of a crash when landing inside. Naturally, Ash and company investigate the crash and come to a long hallway. They see a rather disturbing shadow, and Max wonders aloud if that is the Pokémon from outer space. But it's only Team Rocket who are threatening to get to the meteor before anyone else does. Joy's voice interrupts them. Nervously, Team Rocket and Team Twerp go into hiding, afraid to be caught by Joy.

Everyone winds up hiding in the Center's storage room. A rustling sound coming from some nearby boxes causes James to turn his flashlight in that direction and he discovers Lunatone. Ash checks the PokeDex for info, and gets a lot more than just that—it classifies it as the “Meteor Pokémon”, and says that it is said to have come from outer space! But why is it in the storage room? Maybe so that nobody else can find it.

Suddenly, the light clicks on, and Joy appears in the doorway. She’s definitely surprised they found Lunatone and is even more surprised when Team Rocket threaten to capture it. Sending out Cacnea and Seviper, they try a combined Needle Arm and Bite. Lunatone opens its eye and easily takes care of them with a Psychic, knocking them both out. However, after such a powerful attack, Lunatone collapses on the floor, tired out. Brock offers to help Joy with Lunatone before she asks for any help. Meanwhile, Meowth is conversing with Lunatona in the corner. He actually seems to feel quite sorry for it, and wants to help it. However, he is overruled by his human partners, who insist on using force. They command their respective Pokémon to use Needle Arm and Poison Tail. Realizing that Lunatone is too tired to battle, Ash has Pikachu interfere and blast all three of them off (including Meowth) through the roof with a Thunderbolt.

While examining Lunatone at the table, Joy declares that it’s in a really weak condition, and there’s only one way they can heal it. They will have to expose it to moonlight. However, Joy tells them that the best place in the area to be exposed to bright moonlight is on Camerupt Mountain. It’s not hard to miss, as it's just over the river and through an area with twin mountains that look like the formation of a Camerupt’s back. That would be no trouble for them, seeing as they saw a Camerupt recently and have a basic idea in their mind of what the mountain would look like.

As they embark on their journey through the mountains, they bring Lunatone with them in a big cardboard box on wheels, along with some other aid equipment. Pikachu is in there too, to keep an eye on Lunatone and make sure it’s okay, and that it doesn’t go crazy. Suddenly, they run into the PFC once again, who ask if they’ve seen the meteor or the mysterious Moon-shaped Pokémon. Not sure if PFC is on the level, Team Twerp explain that they have no idea where the Pokémon is. Then, they lead Ken and Mary on a wild goose chase, giving random directions, and then passing by, glad to get them out of their way. Ken is a little suspicious, so they take out their kit and once again build a machine to help them find it.

The twerps have nearly reached the top, and Max is the first to notice a distant formation in the rocks which looks exactly like the back of a Camerupt. Being the Pokémon expert, they trust them, but Joy confirms him correct anyway. As they let Pikachu and Lunatone out, Joy checks her watch, and says that the moon should rise right about now. A big round yellow thing rising above the mountains proves only to be J&J in their balloon, still not having given up.

As they stretch out their mechanical claw to grab Lunatone, Ash tries jumping in between the claw and Lunatone, but is stopped by the fact that the claw from the PFC mecha has already come between Team Rocket and Lunatone. After a bit of verbal arguing, Ken and Mary’s vehicle shakes Team Rocket's balloon up a bit, since the PFC vehicle is heavier. But they don’t let go! Not like that’s a problem, seeing as how both arms are made of metal, they’re easily able to zap the balloon and send TR off.

Now, Team Twerp has to stop the PFC. Pikachu tries an Iron Tail, but is knocked back by the machine’s arm. Mudkip tries a Water Gun, hitting them a little, but suffers the same fate. May tries a different strategy, using her long lost Beautifly’s Silver Wind, dealing them a lot of damage! Mudkip still has some energy, so it helps with Water Gun. As does Pikachu, who helps a bit with Thunderbolt. Not much damage is done to the machine, unfortunately.
Suddenly, Joy notices that the moon is rising. Everyone watches as it slowly rises, and Lunatone uses its Moonlight technique, replenishing all its energy back to normal. Lunatone is back now, and stronger than ever!

Now that it's stronger, it’s a perfect target for the PFC. As they make one final attempt to grab it, Lunatone uses its Hidden Power, destroying the machine, and blasting it off! Ash sure feels proud, being involved in solving such a huge mystery, and helping an exotic Pokémon like Lunatone. However, it’s time for them to part, as Lunatone is headed back to its home on the Moon. Everyone waves and slowly watches as Lunatone drifts off, until they can’t see it anymore.

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''Take This House and Shuppet''' (Japanese: '''カゲボウズの館！''' ''The Mansion of {{tt|Kagebouzu|Shuppet}}'') is episode 81 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 17, 2004 and in the United States on June 4, 2005.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==

As the episode begins, Team Rocket are seen blasting way off into space and they all have Afros! They, of course, come crashing down to earth and land in front of a mansion and immediately begin fighting and arguing with each other. After blows are exchanged, a strange gray ghostly-looking Pokémon with glowing red eyes gazes at them. They're surrounded by an aura and immediately they all relax and become totally calm. Once calmed, they break into the mansion in search of food, but the door closes and locks behind them. They again resume arguing about whose fault it is, but the ghostly Pokémon has followed them and again calms them down. The next scene shows Ash and company running to find a dry spot since it's just begun raining very hard. They find the same mansion that Team Rocket has inadvertently invaded.

Ash, May, Brock, and Max seem to think that the mansion has been abandoned when the door opens suddenly. They go in, but again the door closes behind them. The ghostly Pokémon is nowhere to be seen. Max and May begin fighting and Max storms off in a huff. A door closes behind him, separating him from Ash, May, and Brock. It seems as though the Shuppet wants to play with Max. First, it seems to eat his anger and calm him down, and then starts to play with him.

Then, the mansion's owner returns: {{Ho|Emily}}, a woman with short brown hair and blue eyes. Again, the door opens automatically but the woman closes it herself. She doesn't seem nervous inside the house like Team Rocket and Ash and company did.

One of the old ED's plays in the BG while Max plays on something that looks a lot like something out of the first season. Shuppet shows him the others still searching for him from a hidden window but Max hears May still complaining about him. Max doesn't seem to be in such a hurry to rejoin the others and decides instead to have some fun. More searching. More doors closing. Rustling. Max is enjoying scaring them with the help of Shuppet.

May eventually runs into {{Ho|Emily}}, the owner. Brock keeps his cool for a bit longer than usual before going into his usual lovesick routine. Emily tells them a bit of the mansion's history; apparently it was a hotel many years ago.

May then runs into Team Rocket, who haven't spotted her yet, but they've seen her Torchic. Max sees Team Rocket capture Torchic but takes no action. Eventually, his feelings cause him to want to do something to help May, and he calls on Shuppet for help. James identifies the Pokémon by his cards.

Max is all fired up! May sees him do his bit and then joins in, making it a 2-on-2 battle. One of the attacks almost hits Max, but Shuppet intervenes. Emily recognizes Shuppet as a friend she used to play with during her childhood and they have a tearful reunion. Of course, the reunion is cut short by Team Rocket's capturing Shuppet and running away. We now learn that the Afros seen in the opening scene were the aftereffects of Ash's Swellow and Pikachu's attacks. With Team Rocket gone, Emily announces her plans to turn the mansion back into a hotel, with Shuppet as a permanent guest. She invites Ash and company to come back for a stay. May and Max apologize to each other.

'''Take This House and Shuppet''' (Japanese: '''カゲボウズの館！''' ''The Mansion of {{tt|Kagebouzu|Shuppet}}'') is episode 81 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 17, 2004 and in the United States on June 4, 2005.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==

As the episode begins, Team Rocket are seen blasting way off into space and they all have Afros! They, of course, come crashing down to earth and land in front of a mansion and immediately begin fighting and arguing with each other. After blows are exchanged, a strange gray ghostly-looking Pokémon with glowing red eyes gazes at them. They're surrounded by an aura and immediately they all relax and become totally calm. Once calmed, they break into the mansion in search of food, but the door closes and locks behind them. They again resume arguing about whose fault it is, but the ghostly Pokémon has followed them and again calms them down. The next scene shows Ash and company running to find a dry spot since it's just begun raining very hard. They find the same mansion that Team Rocket has inadvertently invaded.

Ash, May, Brock, and Max seem to think that the mansion has been abandoned when the door opens suddenly. They go in, but again the door closes behind them. The ghostly Pokémon is nowhere to be seen. Max and May begin fighting and Max storms off in a huff. A door closes behind him, separating him from Ash, May, and Brock. It seems as though the Shuppet wants to play with Max. First, it seems to eat his anger and calm him down, and then starts to play with him.

Then, the mansion's owner returns: {{Ho|Emily}}, a woman with short brown hair and blue eyes. Again, the door opens automatically but the woman closes it herself. She doesn't seem nervous inside the house like Team Rocket and Ash and company did.

One of the old ED's plays in the BG while Max plays on something that looks a lot like something out of the first season. Shuppet shows him the others still searching for him from a hidden window but Max hears May still complaining about him. Max doesn't seem to be in such a hurry to rejoin the others and decides instead to have some fun. More searching. More doors closing. Rustling. Max is enjoying scaring them with the help of Shuppet.

May eventually runs into {{Ho|Emily}}, the owner. Brock keeps his cool for a bit longer than usual before going into his usual lovesick routine. Emily tells them a bit of the mansion's history; apparently it was a hotel many years ago.

May then runs into Team Rocket, who haven't spotted her yet, but they've seen her Torchic. Max sees Team Rocket capture Torchic but takes no action. Eventually, his feelings cause him to want to do something to help May, and he calls on Shuppet for help. James identifies the Pokémon by his cards.

Max is all fired up! May sees him do his bit and then joins in, making it a 2-on-2 battle. One of the attacks almost hits Max, but Shuppet intervenes. Emily recognizes Shuppet as a friend she used to play with during her childhood and they have a tearful reunion.

'''That's Just Swellow''' (Japanese: '''初挑戦！空中競技・ポケリンガ!!''' ''Beginning Challenge! Sky Match - PokéRinger!!?'') is episode 80 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 10, 2004 and in the United States on May 28, 2005.

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==

Ash and company arrive in Crossgate Town, where they immediately help a {{p|Swablu}} who's floundering in the air, that belongs to Shane.

Apparently they were doing training for some sort of game, a battle over a PokéRing. A simple description of the game: 2-4 trainers send out their Pokémon and attempt to capture a ring that's hanging up quite some distance in the air. The Pokémon that first brings the ring to the goal post wins. And, in an amazing coincidence, there's a tournament today, too! There are lots of trainers here, and not all of them local. Shane is forced to admit that this is his first tournament.

[[Team Rocket]] make their first appearance. [[James]] apparently actually knows a lot about the sport. He had some aspirations to become a player in these games when he was a kid. And, surprisingly enough, his old teacher is part of the tournament. James gets all fired up to compete!

Shane is in the first round. {{Ash}} is in the second round, but that includes the defending champion and his {{p|Volbeat}}. Interestingly enough, the only trainer they announce besides the champion is Ash, which makes it seem as though he's pretty well known, especially considering that they weren't announcing anything but trainers names for the first round.

Then James makes a weird entrance. James appears to be in the 3rd block, along with {{an|May}}. May, displaying a characteristic lack of manners, totally ignores James even after his wishes her a good battle. The tournament gets underway and one long battle later, Shane wins the first round.

Volbeat seems to have the early advantage in the second round, having electrical attacks. {{p|Taillow}} actually overcomes the electricity however, and gets the ring! Volbeat isn't beat yet though. Another thunderbolt and Taillow drops the ring dodging the attack; then, Volbeat takes it and goes for the Goal. However, Taillow's counter-attack causes Volbeat to lose the ring! Ash wins the 2nd round.

Now, James and May's bugs are facing off. Unbelievably, James actually wins! May and {{p|Beautifly}} concentrated too much on everyone else, thinking James would be useless. The business scheme that [[Jessie]] and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] have concocted seems to be raking in the cash and the Pokémon. They're bringing them in out there, from the ranks of all the losers' Pokémon.

One quick flash past segment later, and we learn that Shane, Ash and James are winning all their matches. Next, James and Shane face off! Swablu has the early advantage, but James's experience is paying off tactics-wise it seems. When the sudden sunlight blinds Swablu as the clouds move, James takes it!

The next round is Ash versus James. However, the battle is interrupted by Meowth, and he and James have somewhat of a conversation aided by flags, as though they've suddenly started using the semaphore system. Meowth gets smacked in the face by a flag, and James turns his attention back to the battle at hand.

James has the advantage and uses a {{m|Psybeam}} attack! But Taillow reflected it and hit back with a {{m|Wing Attack}}! James isn't out of it yet though, and then a sand tornado starts.Looks like after the tornado is over, it will be a matter of speed - who can take the ring first...but wait, Taillow goes and flies into it! The wind appears to knock Ash's Taillow backwards, but then we realize that it's [[Evolution|evolving]]!

{{p|Swellow}} just can't lose against this tornado. James makes one last desperate play....and might just win...but it's another Wing Attack, knocking the ring onto the goal! Ash wins! James cries his heart out and Jessie shows up in the balloon! Looks like Team Rocket are up to their old tricks again. But they're simply no match for Swellow. The Pokémon are returned, the balloon is blown up, and they blast off.

However, apparently James won second place in the tournament but wasn't able to receive his award. Comparing them to regular trainers, we see that they aren't half bad in that department. Which leaves us to ponder what they'd do if they weren't chasing Ash and company.

'''Grass Hysteria''' (Japanese: '''禁断の森の王者！フシギバナ!!''' ''King of the Forbidden Forest! {{tt|Fushigibana|Venusaur}}!!'') is episode 73 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 22, 2004 and in the United States on April 9, 2005.

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==

[[Ash Ketchum|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 {{an|May}}'s [[May's Skitty|Skitty]] pops out of its [[Poké Ball]] 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 Blaziken|Torchic]] who clears an escape route with {{m|Ember}}. She runs down the mountain and into the forest, dodging attacks from wild {{t|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 of 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 friends as the newest member of their group.

'''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 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 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. Slakoth for Norman, and Pikachu for Ash. Utilizing Pikachu's speed, Ash orders Pikachu to attack with {{m|Quick Attack}}, Slakoth dodges and counterattacks with {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Jumping out of the way Pikachu attacks with {{m|Iron Tail}} but misses once again as Slakoth leans out of the way. Dazed, Pikachu is unable to dodge Slakoth's {{m|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 {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However Slakoth dodges this attack as well, and responds with {{m|Blizzard}}. The incredible cold keeps Pikachu from attacking back, so Ash recalls it and calls out Torkoal instead. Torkoal uses {{m|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, Vigoroth! Dodging Torkoal's {{m|Overheat}}, Vigoroth scores a one hit-KO with {{m|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 Scratch, 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 {{a|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, Slaking and Grovyle. Ash attacks first by ordering Grovyle to use {{m|Bullet Seed}}, but Slaking easily blocks the attack with its arm, sustaining no damage at all. Grovyle attacks again with {{m|Leaf Blade}}, but Slaking grabs it mid attack and tosses Grovyle back across the arena. Slaking begins to attack with {{m|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 {{m|Earthquake}}.

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

Meanwhile Grovyle dodges the Earthquake by jumping. It attempts a {{m|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 {{m|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 show Norman what its made out of. Inspired by Ash's confidence, Grovyle activates its {{a|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 okay 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.
