Get the Z-Ring!!&#039;&#039;) is the 73rd episode of the {{series|Sun &amp;amp; Moon}}, and the 1,012th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on May 3, 2018&amp;lt;!-- and is scheduled to air in the United States on *day*--&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

==Blurb==&lt;br /&gt;
Official Blurb from Pokémon.com goes here, with source link--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Team Rocket are in their secret base, sitting around a table producing paper bags with a stamped Bewear logo. [[Jessie]] gets off her chair to get the group a snack. She quickly realizes there is only one cream puff left in the fridge, which [[James]] states is his. Before Jessie can take a bite, {{TP|James|Mareanie}} uses a new move, {{m|Knock Off}}, on Jessie. The cream puff lands on the floor next to {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}, and is quickly eaten to everyone&#039;s horror. Meowth then points out that Mareanie used a {{type|Dark}} move, Knock Off, much to Jessie and James&#039; delight. Jessie notes both Mimikyu and Mareanie now both know a Dark-type move, meaning they will are both compatible with their Darkium-Z stone, and all they need now is a Z-Ring to perform the move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A call suddenly comes through from {{an|Giovanni}} and [[Matori]]. Matori is quick to point out Team Rocket have been making slow progress. In the midst of the scolding, Jessie whispers to Meowth that she has an idea to set the record straight, then announces the trio&#039;s plan to use [[Z-Move]]s. Matori states that in order to use a Z-Move, a person needs a [[Z-Ring]], only obtainable from an Island Kahuna, and she asks Giovanni for a possible lead. Giovanni states that the trio should go to [[Ula&#039;ula Island]] to meet [[Nanu]], the Island Kahuna and a past acquaintance of his. With that order, Team Rocket head for Ula&#039;ula Island.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To avoid Bewear interrupting their plans, Team Rocket sets up hand-sewn puppets of themselves, as well as tape recorders that repeat the same sentences. Upon hearing the tape recorders, Bewear doesn&#039;t bother to check on Team Rocket and continues to collect fruit from the surrounding forest. Meanwhile, [[Acerola]] reads a fairy-tale, &#039;&#039;The Greedy Lapoo&#039;&#039;, to [[Pico]] and {{OBP|Nene|Alola}}. The story is about a greedy spirit which steals items from people, but is eventually stopped when sealed away by the Island Kahuna. A {{Shiny}} Mimikyu nicknamed Mimi-tan floats around as Acerola reads the book. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is walking through the forest. Meowth pulls out a bag containing some Mixed Fruits Malasada, a new product and offering to get the trio their Z-Ring. The trio stumble upon the Po Town Police Station. The trio and Wobbuffet quickly get changed into tourist outfits to avoid suspicion. They go on to open the police station&#039;s doors, and inside, they uncover a horde of Alolan Meowth. The group immediately spots Meowth&#039;s bag of food and resorts to attacking Team Rocket. After a brief squabble, the Alolan Meowth begin eating the Mixed Fruit Malasadas outside, while the disturbance wakes up Nanu. Upon losing their offering to the Island Kahuna, the trio decides to retreat to prepare another present. Nanu queries the group&#039;s intentions before stating that the Island Kahuna is on a martial arts training adventure for anywhere between a week to upwards of a year. Shocked, Team Rocket leaves in disappointment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Acerola agrees to take Nene and Pico to see the Greedy Lapoo&#039;s tomb. Elsewhere, Team Rocket are discussing amongst themselves how to get a Z-Ring. Jessie proclaims the group needs to get a Z-Ring no matter what. In the process, she forcefully puts her foot on an ancient tombstone with a red string around it, causing it to shatter. A giant {{p|Gengar}} emerges from the tomb, scaring Team Rocket and stealing their Darkium-Z.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Acerola, Mimi-tan, Nene, and Pico stumble upon the scene. Before they can run, the Gengar blocks the fleeing group in their tracks. Acerola blocks Gengar from scaring the two children, and in response, it quickly picks Acerola up and flies into the clouds; Team Rocket and Mimi-tan follow. Gengar resorts to stealing more items in a frenzy, including a {{p|Drampa}}&#039;s berries, a golden [[nugget]] from a man by a lake, and a {{p|Blissey}}&#039;s Lucky Egg. It also scares a wild {{p|Murkrow}} and {{p|Salandit}}. Acerola is still clinging on to Gengar, repeatedly calling it the Greedy Lapoo. Suddenly, Mimi-tan arrives and engages Gengar in battle. Mimi-tan&#039;s repeated {{m|Shadow Claw}} attacks fail, going through Gengar&#039;s body. Gengar throws Mimi-tan into the air out of frustration, and Acerola jumps off Gengar&#039;s back in an attempt to grab it. Gengar&#039;s attempt to capture the falling Acerola fails, and she continues to free-fall through tree branches, eventually hitting the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gengar follows behind and looks over at Acerola as she is holding Mimi-tan. Gengar suddenly produces all of the stolen goods from its body, surrounding Acerola in gifts to get her attention. Acerola is overwhelmed by the gesture, but is aware that the items are stolen. Team Rocket watches, noticing their Darkium-Z in Gengar&#039;s hand. Acerola states that she cannot accept the gifts, as she enjoys her time reading to the children in the library. Gengar goes into a tantrum, bouncing off the forest trees. It then tries to absorb Acerola into its body, but it is interrupted by Jessie&#039;s Mimikyu launching a {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Gengar quickly turns its attention to Jessie and Mimikyu, while James retrieves the Darkium-Z from the pile of stolen goods. The Team Rocket trio teases Gengar for losing in front of Acerola and then runs off, with Gengar following in anger. Nanu finds Acerola, asking his niece if she is fine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Team Rocket stops running and attempts to face Gengar. Meowth&#039;s claws grow in anticipation for a {{m|Fury Swipes}}, though Gengar enters Meowth&#039;s body and possesses him. Mimikyu attacks, sending Meowth flying. Gengar emerges from his body and then possesses Jessie. In response, James commands Mareanie to use a gentle Knock Off against Jessie. The attack lands, and Gengar emerges from Jessie&#039;s body with tears in its eyes. As Meowth and Jessie quickly recover, Acerola, Mimi-tan, and Nanu stumble upon the trio. Nanu comments on the trio&#039;s skill before gifting them a Z-Power Ring. James places it on his wrist and has Mareanie perform {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}} for the first time against Gengar, defeating it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Acerola reveals that Gengar must have been lonely, hence why it kidnapped her and offered all of the stolen goods to her. This assumption turns out to be correct, for Gengar begins twirling around with her, and the two decide to become friends. Nanu tells Gengar that if it continues to misbehave, he will reseal the Pokémon into a tomb. In the process, he reveals that he is the Island Kahuna, much to Team Rocket&#039;s disbelief. Jessie angrily reveals Team Rocket&#039;s true motives for coming to see him. Nanu confirms that he has a personal connection with Giovanni and is aware of Team Rocket. As a result, he immediately grants the Team Rocket trio official ownership over the Z-Power Ring as repayment for looking after Acerola. Jessie and James&#039; attention turns to Acerola and her flying Mimikyu. Acerola states that Mimi-tan is an actual ghost, upon which Mimi-tan gives Jessie a [[Mimikium Z]]. Jessie, James, and Meowth are left ecstatic over achieving beyond their intended goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Ash, {{an|Rotom Pokédex}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{AP|Poipole}} are aboard a ship destined for [[Ula&#039;ula Island]].&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Poké Problem]]: &#039;&#039;The Pokémon that steals our [[Darkinium Z]] in today&#039;s episode…?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
** Host: [[Jessie]]&lt;br /&gt;
** Choices: {{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Wimpod}}, {{alo|Meowth}}&lt;br /&gt;
** Answer: Gengar&lt;br /&gt;
* In Japan, this episode aired almost exactly one year after [[SM025|the episode]] where {{TRT}} acquired a [[Darkinium Z]] (364 days later, one day shy of being a full year).&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Team Rocket&#039;s Team Song]] is used as an insert song when [[James]] and {{TP|James|Mareanie}} perform {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}}.&lt;br /&gt;
** The trio can also be heard singing the beginning of the song when landing on Ula&#039;ula Island.&lt;br /&gt;
* Jessie, James, and {{MTR}} read out the title card in the Japanese version.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Nanu]] and [[Officer Jenny]] narrate the preview for the [[SM074|next episode]].&lt;br /&gt;
* This is the second episode in the Sun and Moon series in which none of {{Ash}}&#039;s {{ashcl|classmates}} appear, the first episode being &#039;&#039;[[SM058|Fighting Back the Tears!]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
** This is also the first time since &#039;&#039;[[DP001|Following a Maiden&#039;s Voyage!]]&#039;&#039; that Ash appears near the end of the episode, 545 episodes earlier.&lt;br /&gt;
* When mocking Gengar, James pulls a face that resembles the character of Iyami from &#039;&#039;{{wp|Osomatsu-kun}}&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
* This is the first episode since its debut where {{Rotom}} does not speak.&lt;br /&gt;
* The man who had his [[Nugget]] stolen by Gengar in this episode bears a [[List of cross-canon references|strong resemblance]] to the Man of Mystery from [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]].&lt;br /&gt;

To avoid Bewear interrupting their plans, Team Rocket sets up hand-sewn puppets of themselves, as well as tape recorders that repeat the same sentences. Upon hearing the tape recorders, Bewear doesn&#039;t bother to check on Team Rocket and continues to collect fruit from the surrounding forest. Meanwhile, [[Acerola]] reads a fairy-tale, &#039;&#039;The Greedy Lapoo&#039;&#039;, to [[Pico]] and {{OBP|Nene|Alola}}. The story is about a greedy spirit which steals items from people, but is eventually stopped when sealed away by the Island Kahuna. A {{Shiny}} Mimikyu nicknamed Mimi-tan floats around as Acerola reads the book. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is walking through the forest. Meowth pulls out a bag containing some Mixed Fruits Malasada, a new product and offering to get the trio their Z-Ring. The trio stumble upon the Po Town Police Station. The trio and Wobbuffet quickly get changed into tourist outfits to avoid suspicion. They go on to open the police station&#039;s doors, and inside, they uncover a horde of Alolan Meowth. The group immediately spots Meowth&#039;s bag of food and resorts to attacking Team Rocket. After a brief squabble, the Alolan Meowth begin eating the Mixed Fruit Malasadas outside, while the disturbance wakes up Nanu. Upon losing their offering to the Island Kahuna, the trio decides to retreat to prepare another present. Nanu queries the group&#039;s intentions before stating that the Island Kahuna is on a martial arts training adventure for anywhere between a week to upwards of a year. Shocked, Team Rocket leaves in disappointment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Acerola agrees to take Nene and Pico to see the Greedy Lapoo&#039;s tomb. Elsewhere, Team Rocket are discussing amongst themselves how to get a Z-Ring. Jessie proclaims the group needs to get a Z-Ring no matter what. In the process, she forcefully puts her foot on an ancient tombstone with a red string around it, causing it to shatter. A giant {{p|Gengar}} emerges from the tomb, scaring Team Rocket and stealing their Darkium-Z.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Acerola, Mimi-tan, Nene, and Pico stumble upon the scene. Before they can run, the Gengar blocks the fleeing group in their tracks. Acerola blocks Gengar from scaring the two children, and in response, it quickly picks Acerola up and flies into the clouds; Team Rocket and Mimi-tan follow. Gengar resorts to stealing more items in a frenzy, including a {{p|Drampa}}&#039;s berries, a golden [[nugget]] from a man by a lake, and a {{p|Blissey}}&#039;s Lucky Egg. It also scares a wild {{p|Murkrow}} and {{p|Salandit}}. Acerola is still clinging on to Gengar, repeatedly calling it the Greedy Lapoo. Suddenly, Mimi-tan arrives and engages Gengar in battle. Mimi-tan&#039;s repeated {{m|Shadow Claw}} attacks fail, going through Gengar&#039;s body. Gengar throws Mimi-tan into the air out of frustration, and Acerola jumps off Gengar&#039;s back in an attempt to grab it. Gengar&#039;s attempt to capture the falling Acerola fails, and she continues to free-fall through tree branches, eventually hitting the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gengar follows behind and looks over at Acerola as she is holding Mimi-tan. Gengar suddenly produces all of the stolen goods from its body, surrounding Acerola in gifts to get her attention. Acerola is overwhelmed by the gesture, but is aware that the items are stolen. Team Rocket watches, noticing their Darkium-Z in Gengar&#039;s hand. Acerola states that she cannot accept the gifts, as she enjoys her time reading to the children in the library. Gengar goes into a tantrum, bouncing off the forest trees. It then tries to absorb Acerola into its body, but it is interrupted by Jessie&#039;s Mimikyu launching a {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Gengar quickly turns its attention to Jessie and Mimikyu, while James retrieves the Darkium-Z from the pile of stolen goods. The Team Rocket trio teases Gengar for losing in front of Acerola and then runs off, with Gengar following in anger. Nanu finds Acerola, asking his niece if she is fine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Team Rocket stops running and attempts to face Gengar. Meowth&#039;s claws grow in anticipation for a {{m|Fury Swipes}}, though Gengar enters Meowth&#039;s body and possesses him. Mimikyu attacks, sending Meowth flying. Gengar emerges from his body and then possesses Jessie. In response, James commands Mareanie to use a gentle Knock Off against Jessie. The attack lands, and Gengar emerges from Jessie&#039;s body with tears in its eyes. As Meowth and Jessie quickly recover, Acerola, Mimi-tan, and Nanu stumble upon the trio. Nanu comments on the trio&#039;s skill before gifting them a Z-Power Ring. James places it on his wrist and has Mareanie perform {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}} for the first time against Gengar, defeating it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Acerola reveals that Gengar must have been lonely, hence why it kidnapped her and offered all of the stolen goods to her. This assumption turns out to be correct, for Gengar begins twirling around with her, and the two decide to become friends. Nanu tells Gengar that if it continues to misbehave, he will reseal the Pokémon into a tomb. In the process, he reveals that he is the Island Kahuna, much to Team Rocket&#039;s disbelief. Jessie angrily reveals Team Rocket&#039;s true motives for coming to see him. Nanu confirms that he has a personal connection with Giovanni and is aware of Team Rocket. As a result, he immediately grants the Team Rocket trio official ownership over the Z-Power Ring as repayment for looking after Acerola. Jessie and James&#039; attention turns to Acerola and her flying Mimikyu. Acerola states that Mimi-tan is an actual ghost, upon which Mimi-tan gives Jessie a [[Mimikium Z]]. Jessie, James, and Meowth are left ecstatic over achieving beyond their intended goal.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Team Rocket are in their secret base, sitting around a table producing paper bags with a stamped Bewear logo. [[Jessie]] gets off her chair to get the group a snack. She quickly realizes there is only one cream puff left in the fridge, which [[James]] states is his. Before Jessie can take a bite, {{TP|James|Mareanie}} uses a new move, {{m|Knock Off}}, on Jessie. The cream puff lands on the floor next to {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}, and is quickly eaten to everyone&#039;s horror. Meowth then points out that Mareanie used a {{type|Dark}} move, Knock Off, much to Jessie and James&#039; delight. Jessie notes both Mimikyu and Mareanie now both know a Dark-type move, meaning they will are both compatible with their Darkium-Z stone, and all they need now is a Z-Ring to perform the move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A call suddenly comes through from {{an|Giovanni}} and [[Matori]]. Matori is quick to point out Team Rocket have been making slow progress. In the midst of the scolding, Jessie whispers to Meowth that she has an idea to set the record straight, then announces the trio&#039;s plan to use [[Z-Move]]s. Matori states that in order to use a Z-Move, a person needs a [[Z-Ring]], only obtainable from an Island Kahuna, and she asks Giovanni for a possible lead. Giovanni states that the trio should go to [[Ula&#039;ula Island]] to meet [[Nanu]], the Island Kahuna and a past acquaintance of his. With that order, Team Rocket head for Ula&#039;ula Island.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To avoid Bewear interrupting their plans, Team Rocket sets up hand-sewn puppets of themselves, as well as tape recorders that repeat the same sentences. Upon hearing the tape recorders, Bewear doesn&#039;t bother to check on Team Rocket and continues to collect fruit from the surrounding forest. Meanwhile, [[Acerola]] reads a fairy-tale, &#039;&#039;The Greedy Lapoo&#039;&#039;, to [[Pico]] and {{OBP|Nene|Alola}}. The story is about a greedy spirit which steals items from people, but is eventually stopped when sealed away by the Island Kahuna. A {{Shiny}} Mimikyu nicknamed Mimi-tan floats around as Acerola reads the book. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is walking through the forest. Meowth pulls out a bag containing some Mixed Fruits Malasada, a new product and offering to get the trio their Z-Ring. The trio stumble upon the Po Town Police Station. The trio and Wobbuffet quickly get changed into tourist outfits to avoid suspicion. They go on to open the police station&#039;s doors, and inside, they uncover a horde of Alolan Meowth. The group immediately spots Meowth&#039;s bag of food and resorts to attacking Team Rocket. After a brief squabble, the Alolan Meowth begin eating the Mixed Fruit Malasadas outside, while the disturbance wakes up Nanu. Upon losing their offering to the Island Kahuna, the trio decides to retreat to prepare another present. Nanu queries the group&#039;s intentions before stating that the Island Kahuna is on a martial arts training adventure for anywhere between a week to upwards of a year. Shocked, Team Rocket leaves in disappointment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Acerola agrees to take Nene and Pico to see the Greedy Lapoo&#039;s tomb. Elsewhere, Team Rocket are discussing amongst themselves how to get a Z-Ring. Jessie proclaims the group needs to get a Z-Ring no matter what. In the process, she forcefully puts her foot on an ancient tombstone with a red string around it, causing it to shatter. A giant {{p|Gengar}} emerges from the tomb, scaring Team Rocket and stealing their Darkium-Z.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Acerola, Mimi-tan, Nene, and Pico stumble upon the scene. Before they can run, the Gengar blocks the fleeing group in their tracks. Acerola blocks Gengar from scaring the two children, and in response, it quickly picks Acerola up and flies into the clouds; Team Rocket and Mimi-tan follow. Gengar resorts to stealing more items in a frenzy, including a {{p|Drampa}}&#039;s berries, a golden [[nugget]] from a man by a lake, and a {{p|Blissey}}&#039;s Lucky Egg. It also scares a wild {{p|Murkrow}} and {{p|Salandit}}. Acerola is still clinging on to Gengar, repeatedly calling it the Greedy Lapoo. Suddenly, Mimi-tan arrives and engages Gengar in battle. Mimi-tan&#039;s repeated {{m|Shadow Claw}} attacks fail, going through Gengar&#039;s body. Gengar throws Mimi-tan into the air out of frustration, and Acerola jumps off Gengar&#039;s back in an attempt to grab it. Gengar&#039;s attempt to capture the falling Acerola fails, and she continues to free-fall through tree branches, eventually hitting the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gengar follows behind and looks over at Acerola as she is holding Mimi-tan. Gengar suddenly produces all of the stolen goods from its body, surrounding Acerola in gifts to get her attention. Acerola is overwhelmed by the gesture, but is aware that the items are stolen. Team Rocket watches, noticing their Darkium-Z in Gengar&#039;s hand. Acerola states that she cannot accept the gifts, as she enjoys her time reading to the children in the library. Gengar goes into a tantrum, bouncing off the forest trees. It then tries to absorb Acerola into its body, but it is interrupted by Jessie&#039;s Mimikyu launching a {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Gengar quickly turns its attention to Jessie and Mimikyu, while James retrieves the Darkium-Z from the pile of stolen goods.

Mimikyu attacks, sending Meowth flying. Gengar emerges from his body and then possesses Jessie. In response, James commands Mareanie to use a gentle Knock Off against Jessie. The attack lands, and Gengar emerges from Jessie&#039;s body with tears in its eyes. As Meowth and Jessie quickly recover, Acerola, Mimi-tan, and Nanu stumble upon the trio. Nanu comments on the trio&#039;s skill before gifting them a Z-Power Ring. James places it on his wrist and has Mareanie perform {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}} for the first time against Gengar, defeating it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Acerola reveals that Gengar must have been lonely, hence why it kidnapped her and offered all of the stolen goods to her. This assumption turns out to be correct, for Gengar begins twirling around with her, and the two decide to become friends. Nanu tells Gengar that if it continues to misbehave, he will reseal the Pokémon into a tomb. In the process, he reveals that he is the Island Kahuna, much to Team Rocket&#039;s disbelief. Jessie angrily reveals Team Rocket&#039;s true motives for coming to see him. Nanu confirms that he has a personal connection with Giovanni and is aware of Team Rocket. As a result, he immediately grants the Team Rocket trio official ownership over the Z-Power Ring as repayment for looking after Acerola. Jessie and James&#039; attention turns to Acerola and her flying Mimikyu. Acerola states that Mimi-tan is an actual ghost, upon which Mimi-tan gives Jessie a [[Mimikium Z]]. Jessie, James, and Meowth are left ecstatic over achieving beyond their intended goal.&lt;br /&gt;

==Blurb==&lt;br /&gt;
Official Blurb from Pokémon.com goes here, with source link--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Team Rocket are in their secret base, sitting around a table producing paper bags with a stamped Bewear logo. [[Jessie]] gets off her chair to get the group a snack. She quickly realizes there is only one cream puff left in the fridge, which [[James]] states is his. Before Jessie can take a bite, {{TP|James|Mareanie}} uses a new move, {{m|Knock Off}}, on Jessie. The cream puff lands on the floor next to {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}, and is quickly eaten to everyone&#039;s horror. Meowth then points out that Mareanie used a {{type|Dark}} move, Knock Off, much to Jessie and James&#039; delight. Jessie notes both Mimikyu and Mareanie now both know a Dark-type move, meaning they will are both compatible with their Darkium-Z stone, and all they need now is a Z-Ring to perform the move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A call suddenly comes through from {{an|Giovanni}} and [[Matori]]. Matori is quick to point out Team Rocket have been making slow progress. In the midst of the scolding, Jessie whispers to Meowth that she has an idea to set the record straight, then announces the trio&#039;s plan to use [[Z-Move]]s. Matori states that in order to use a Z-Move, a person needs a [[Z-Ring]], only obtainable from an Island Kahuna, and she asks Giovanni for a possible lead. Giovanni states that the trio should go to [[Ula&#039;ula Island]] to meet [[Nanu]], the Island Kahuna and a past acquaintance of his. With that order, Team Rocket head for Ula&#039;ula Island.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To avoid Bewear interrupting their plans, Team Rocket sets up hand-sewn puppets of themselves, as well as tape recorders that repeat the same sentences. Upon hearing the tape recorders, Bewear doesn&#039;t bother to check on Team Rocket and continues to collect fruit from the surrounding forest. Meanwhile, [[Acerola]] reads a fairy-tale, &#039;&#039;The Greedy Lapoo&#039;&#039;, to [[Pico]] and {{OBP|Nene|Alola}}. The story is about a greedy spirit which steals items from people, but is eventually stopped when sealed away by the Island Kahuna. A {{Shiny}} Mimikyu nicknamed Mimi-tan floats around as Acerola reads the book. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is walking through the forest. Meowth pulls out a bag containing some Mixed Fruits Malasada, a new product and offering to get the trio their Z-Ring. The trio stumble upon the Po Town Police Station. The trio and Wobbuffet quickly get changed into tourist outfits to avoid suspicion. They go on to open the police station&#039;s doors, and inside, they uncover a horde of Alolan Meowth. The group immediately spots Meowth&#039;s bag of food and resorts to attacking Team Rocket. After a brief squabble, the Alolan Meowth begin eating the Mixed Fruit Malasadas outside, while the disturbance wakes up Nanu. Upon losing their offering to the Island Kahuna, the trio decides to retreat to prepare another present. Nanu queries the group&#039;s intentions before stating that the Island Kahuna is on a martial arts training adventure for anywhere between a week to upwards of a year. Shocked, Team Rocket leaves in disappointment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Acerola agrees to take Nene and Pico to see the Greedy Lapoo&#039;s tomb. Elsewhere, Team Rocket are discussing amongst themselves how to get a Z-Ring. Jessie proclaims the group needs to get a Z-Ring no matter what. In the process, she forcefully puts her foot on an ancient tombstone with a red string around it, causing it to shatter. A giant {{p|Gengar}} emerges from the tomb, scaring Team Rocket and stealing their Darkium-Z.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Acerola, Mimi-tan, Nene, and Pico stumble upon the scene. Before they can run, the Gengar blocks the fleeing group in their tracks. Acerola blocks Gengar from scaring the two children, and in response, it quickly picks Acerola up and flies into the clouds; Team Rocket and Mimi-tan follow. Gengar resorts to stealing more items in a frenzy, including a {{p|Drampa}}&#039;s berries, a golden [[nugget]] from a man by a lake, and a {{p|Blissey}}&#039;s Lucky Egg. It also scares a wild {{p|Murkrow}} and {{p|Salandit}}. Acerola is still clinging on to Gengar, repeatedly calling it the Greedy Lapoo. Suddenly, Mimi-tan arrives and engages Gengar in battle. Mimi-tan&#039;s repeated {{m|Shadow Claw}} attacks fail, going through Gengar&#039;s body. Gengar throws Mimi-tan into the air out of frustration, and Acerola jumps off Gengar&#039;s back in an attempt to grab it. Gengar&#039;s attempt to capture the falling Acerola fails, and she continues to free-fall through tree branches, eventually hitting the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gengar follows behind and looks over at Acerola as she is holding Mimi-tan. Gengar suddenly produces all of the stolen goods from its body, surrounding Acerola in gifts to get her attention. Acerola is overwhelmed by the gesture, but is aware that the items are stolen. Team Rocket watches, noticing their Darkium-Z in Gengar&#039;s hand. Acerola states that she cannot accept the gifts, as she enjoys her time reading to the children in the library. Gengar goes into a tantrum, bouncing off the forest trees. It then tries to absorb Acerola into its body, but it is interrupted by Jessie&#039;s Mimikyu launching a {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Gengar quickly turns its attention to Jessie and Mimikyu, while James retrieves the Darkium-Z from the pile of stolen goods. The Team Rocket trio teases Gengar for losing in front of Acerola and then runs off, with Gengar following in anger. Nanu finds Acerola, asking his niece if she is fine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Team Rocket stops running and attempts to face Gengar. Meowth&#039;s claws grow in anticipation for a {{m|Fury Swipes}}, though Gengar enters Meowth&#039;s body and possesses him. Mimikyu attacks, sending Meowth flying. Gengar emerges from his body and then possesses Jessie. In response, James commands Mareanie to use a gentle Knock Off against Jessie. The attack lands, and Gengar emerges from Jessie&#039;s body with tears in its eyes. As Meowth and Jessie quickly recover, Acerola, Mimi-tan, and Nanu stumble upon the trio. Nanu comments on the trio&#039;s skill before gifting them a Z-Power Ring. James places it on his wrist and has Mareanie perform {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}} for the first time against Gengar, defeating it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Acerola reveals that Gengar must have been lonely, hence why it kidnapped her and offered all of the stolen goods to her. This assumption turns out to be correct, for Gengar begins twirling around with her, and the two decide to become friends. Nanu tells Gengar that if it continues to misbehave, he will reseal the Pokémon into a tomb. In the process, he reveals that he is the Island Kahuna, much to Team Rocket&#039;s disbelief. Jessie angrily reveals Team Rocket&#039;s true motives for coming to see him. Nanu confirms that he has a personal connection with Giovanni and is aware of Team Rocket. As a result, he immediately grants the Team Rocket trio official ownership over the Z-Power Ring as repayment for looking after Acerola. Jessie and James&#039; attention turns to Acerola and her flying Mimikyu. Acerola states that Mimi-tan is an actual ghost, upon which Mimi-tan gives Jessie a [[Mimikium Z]]. Jessie, James, and Meowth are left ecstatic over achieving beyond their intended goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Ash, {{an|Rotom Pokédex}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{AP|Poipole}} are aboard a ship destined for [[Ula&#039;ula Island]].&lt;br /&gt;

(Japanese: &#039;&#039;&#039;ロケット団の島めぐり！？Zリングをゲットせよ！！&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;{{tt|Rocket-dan|Team Rocket}}&#039;s {{tt|Island-Visiting|Island Challenge}}!? Get the Z-Ring!!&#039;&#039;) is the 73rd episode of the {{series|Sun &amp;amp; Moon}}, and the 1,012th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on May 3, 2018&amp;lt;!-- and is scheduled to air in the United States on *day*--&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

==Blurb==&lt;br /&gt;
Official Blurb from Pokémon.com goes here, with source link--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Team Rocket are in their secret base, sitting around a table producing paper bags with a stamped Bewear logo. [[Jessie]] gets off her chair to get the group a snack. She quickly realizes there is only one cream puff left in the fridge, which [[James]] states is his. Before Jessie can take a bite, {{TP|James|Mareanie}} uses a new move, {{m|Knock Off}}, on Jessie. The cream puff lands on the floor next to {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}, and is quickly eaten to everyone&#039;s horror. Meowth then points out that Mareanie used a {{type|Dark}} move, Knock Off, much to Jessie and James&#039; delight. Jessie notes both Mimikyu and Mareanie now both know a Dark-type move, meaning they will are both compatible with their Darkium-Z stone, and all they need now is a Z-Ring to perform the move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A call suddenly comes through from {{an|Giovanni}} and [[Matori]]. Matori is quick to point out Team Rocket have been making slow progress. In the midst of the scolding, Jessie whispers to Meowth that she has an idea to set the record straight, then announces the trio&#039;s plan to use [[Z-Move]]s. Matori states that in order to use a Z-Move, a person needs a [[Z-Ring]], only obtainable from an Island Kahuna, and she asks Giovanni for a possible lead. Giovanni states that the trio should go to [[Ula&#039;ula Island]] to meet [[Nanu]], the Island Kahuna and a past acquaintance of his. With that order, Team Rocket head for Ula&#039;ula Island.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To avoid Bewear interrupting their plans, Team Rocket sets up hand-sewn puppets of themselves, as well as tape recorders that repeat the same sentences. Upon hearing the tape recorders, Bewear doesn&#039;t bother to check on Team Rocket and continues to collect fruit from the surrounding forest. Meanwhile, [[Acerola]] reads a fairy-tale, &#039;&#039;The Greedy Lapoo&#039;&#039;, to [[Pico]] and {{OBP|Nene|Alola}}. The story is about a greedy spirit which steals items from people, but is eventually stopped when sealed away by the Island Kahuna. A {{Shiny}} Mimikyu nicknamed Mimi-tan floats around as Acerola reads the book. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is walking through the forest. Meowth pulls out a bag containing some Mixed Fruits Malasada, a new product and offering to get the trio their Z-Ring. The trio stumble upon the Po Town Police Station. The trio and Wobbuffet quickly get changed into tourist outfits to avoid suspicion. They go on to open the police station&#039;s doors, and inside, they uncover a horde of Alolan Meowth. The group immediately spots Meowth&#039;s bag of food and resorts to attacking Team Rocket. After a brief squabble, the Alolan Meowth begin eating the Mixed Fruit Malasadas outside, while the disturbance wakes up Nanu. Upon losing their offering to the Island Kahuna, the trio decides to retreat to prepare another present. Nanu queries the group&#039;s intentions before stating that the Island Kahuna is on a martial arts training adventure for anywhere between a week to upwards of a year. Shocked, Team Rocket leaves in disappointment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Acerola agrees to take Nene and Pico to see the Greedy Lapoo&#039;s tomb. Elsewhere, Team Rocket are discussing amongst themselves how to get a Z-Ring. Jessie proclaims the group needs to get a Z-Ring no matter what. In the process, she forcefully puts her foot on an ancient tombstone with a red string around it, causing it to shatter. A giant {{p|Gengar}} emerges from the tomb, scaring Team Rocket and stealing their Darkium-Z.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Acerola, Mimi-tan, Nene, and Pico stumble upon the scene. Before they can run, the Gengar blocks the fleeing group in their tracks. Acerola blocks Gengar from scaring the two children, and in response, it quickly picks Acerola up and flies into the clouds; Team Rocket and Mimi-tan follow. Gengar resorts to stealing more items in a frenzy, including a {{p|Drampa}}&#039;s berries, a golden [[nugget]] from a man by a lake, and a {{p|Blissey}}&#039;s Lucky Egg. It also scares a wild {{p|Murkrow}} and {{p|Salandit}}. Acerola is still clinging on to Gengar, repeatedly calling it the Greedy Lapoo. Suddenly, Mimi-tan arrives and engages Gengar in battle. Mimi-tan&#039;s repeated {{m|Shadow Claw}} attacks fail, going through Gengar&#039;s body. Gengar throws Mimi-tan into the air out of frustration, and Acerola jumps off Gengar&#039;s back in an attempt to grab it. Gengar&#039;s attempt to capture the falling Acerola fails, and she continues to free-fall through tree branches, eventually hitting the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gengar follows behind and looks over at Acerola as she is holding Mimi-tan. Gengar suddenly produces all of the stolen goods from its body, surrounding Acerola in gifts to get her attention. Acerola is overwhelmed by the gesture, but is aware that the items are stolen. Team Rocket watches, noticing their Darkium-Z in Gengar&#039;s hand. Acerola states that she cannot accept the gifts, as she enjoys her time reading to the children in the library. Gengar goes into a tantrum, bouncing off the forest trees. It then tries to absorb Acerola into its body, but it is interrupted by Jessie&#039;s Mimikyu launching a {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Gengar quickly turns its attention to Jessie and Mimikyu, while James retrieves the Darkium-Z from the pile of stolen goods. The Team Rocket trio teases Gengar for losing in front of Acerola and then runs off, with Gengar following in anger. Nanu finds Acerola, asking his niece if she is fine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Team Rocket stops running and attempts to face Gengar. Meowth&#039;s claws grow in anticipation for a {{m|Fury Swipes}}, though Gengar enters Meowth&#039;s body and possesses him. Mimikyu attacks, sending Meowth flying. Gengar emerges from his body and then possesses Jessie. In response, James commands Mareanie to use a gentle Knock Off against Jessie. The attack lands, and Gengar emerges from Jessie&#039;s body with tears in its eyes. As Meowth and Jessie quickly recover, Acerola, Mimi-tan, and Nanu stumble upon the trio. Nanu comments on the trio&#039;s skill before gifting them a Z-Power Ring. James places it on his wrist and has Mareanie perform {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}} for the first time against Gengar, defeating it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Acerola reveals that Gengar must have been lonely, hence why it kidnapped her and offered all of the stolen goods to her. This assumption turns out to be correct, for Gengar begins twirling around with her, and the two decide to become friends. Nanu tells Gengar that if it continues to misbehave, he will reseal the Pokémon into a tomb. In the process, he reveals that he is the Island Kahuna, much to Team Rocket&#039;s disbelief. Jessie angrily reveals Team Rocket&#039;s true motives for coming to see him. Nanu confirms that he has a personal connection with Giovanni and is aware of Team Rocket. As a result, he immediately grants the Team Rocket trio official ownership over the Z-Power Ring as repayment for looking after Acerola. Jessie and James&#039; attention turns to Acerola and her flying Mimikyu. Acerola states that Mimi-tan is an actual ghost, upon which Mimi-tan gives Jessie a [[Mimikium Z]]. Jessie, James, and Meowth are left ecstatic over achieving beyond their intended goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Ash, {{an|Rotom Pokédex}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{AP|Poipole}} are aboard a ship destined for [[Ula&#039;ula Island]].&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Poké Problem]]: &#039;&#039;The Pokémon that steals our [[Darkinium Z]] in today&#039;s episode…?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
** Host: [[Jessie]]&lt;br /&gt;
** Choices: {{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Wimpod}}, {{alo|Meowth}}&lt;br /&gt;
** Answer: Gengar&lt;br /&gt;
* In Japan, this episode aired almost exactly one year after [[SM025|the episode]] where {{TRT}} acquired a [[Darkinium Z]] (364 days later, one day shy of being a full year).&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Team Rocket&#039;s Team Song]] is used as an insert song when [[James]] and {{TP|James|Mareanie}} perform {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}}.&lt;br /&gt;
** The trio can also be heard singing the beginning of the song when landing on Ula&#039;ula Island.&lt;br /&gt;
* Jessie, James, and {{MTR}} read out the title card in the Japanese version.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Nanu]] and [[Officer Jenny]] narrate the preview for the [[SM074|next episode]].&lt;br /&gt;
* This is the second episode in the Sun and Moon series in which none of {{Ash}}&#039;s {{ashcl|classmates}} appear, the first episode being &#039;&#039;[[SM058|Fighting Back the Tears!]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
** This is also the first time since &#039;&#039;[[DP001|Following a Maiden&#039;s Voyage!]]&#039;&#039; that Ash appears near the end of the episode, 545 episodes earlier.&lt;br /&gt;
* When mocking Gengar, James pulls a face that resembles the character of Iyami from &#039;&#039;{{wp|Osomatsu-kun}}&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
* This is the first episode since its debut where {{Rotom}} does not speak.&lt;br /&gt;
* The man who had his [[Nugget]] stolen by Gengar in this episode bears a [[List of cross-canon references|strong resemblance]] to the Man of Mystery from [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]].&lt;br /&gt;

Meanwhile, [[Acerola]] reads a fairy-tale, &#039;&#039;The Greedy Lapoo&#039;&#039;, to [[Pico]] and {{OBP|Nene|Alola}}. The story is about a greedy spirit which steals items from people, but is eventually stopped when sealed away by the Island Kahuna. A {{Shiny}} Mimikyu nicknamed Mimi-tan floats around as Acerola reads the book. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is walking through the forest. Meowth pulls out a bag containing some Mixed Fruits Malasada, a new product and offering to get the trio their Z-Ring. The trio stumble upon the Po Town Police Station. The trio and Wobbuffet quickly get changed into tourist outfits to avoid suspicion. They go on to open the police station&#039;s doors, and inside, they uncover a horde of Alolan Meowth. The group immediately spots Meowth&#039;s bag of food and resorts to attacking Team Rocket. After a brief squabble, the Alolan Meowth begin eating the Mixed Fruit Malasadas outside, while the disturbance wakes up Nanu. Upon losing their offering to the Island Kahuna, the trio decides to retreat to prepare another present. Nanu queries the group&#039;s intentions before stating that the Island Kahuna is on a martial arts training adventure for anywhere between a week to upwards of a year. Shocked, Team Rocket leaves in disappointment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Acerola agrees to take Nene and Pico to see the Greedy Lapoo&#039;s tomb. Elsewhere, Team Rocket are discussing amongst themselves how to get a Z-Ring. Jessie proclaims the group needs to get a Z-Ring no matter what. In the process, she forcefully puts her foot on an ancient tombstone with a red string around it, causing it to shatter. A giant {{p|Gengar}} emerges from the tomb, scaring Team Rocket and stealing their Darkium-Z.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Acerola, Mimi-tan, Nene, and Pico stumble upon the scene. Before they can run, the Gengar blocks the fleeing group in their tracks. Acerola blocks Gengar from scaring the two children, and in response, it quickly picks Acerola up and flies into the clouds; Team Rocket and Mimi-tan follow. Gengar resorts to stealing more items in a frenzy, including a {{p|Drampa}}&#039;s berries, a golden [[nugget]] from a man by a lake, and a {{p|Blissey}}&#039;s Lucky Egg. It also scares a wild {{p|Murkrow}} and {{p|Salandit}}. Acerola is still clinging on to Gengar, repeatedly calling it the Greedy Lapoo. Suddenly, Mimi-tan arrives and engages Gengar in battle. Mimi-tan&#039;s repeated {{m|Shadow Claw}} attacks fail, going through Gengar&#039;s body. Gengar throws Mimi-tan into the air out of frustration, and Acerola jumps off Gengar&#039;s back in an attempt to grab it. Gengar&#039;s attempt to capture the falling Acerola fails, and she continues to free-fall through tree branches, eventually hitting the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gengar follows behind and looks over at Acerola as she is holding Mimi-tan. Gengar suddenly produces all of the stolen goods from its body, surrounding Acerola in gifts to get her attention. Acerola is overwhelmed by the gesture, but is aware that the items are stolen. Team Rocket watches, noticing their Darkium-Z in Gengar&#039;s hand. Acerola states that she cannot accept the gifts, as she enjoys her time reading to the children in the library. Gengar goes into a tantrum, bouncing off the forest trees. It then tries to absorb Acerola into its body, but it is interrupted by Jessie&#039;s Mimikyu launching a {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Gengar quickly turns its attention to Jessie and Mimikyu, while James retrieves the Darkium-Z from the pile of stolen goods. The Team Rocket trio teases Gengar for losing in front of Acerola and then runs off, with Gengar following in anger. Nanu finds Acerola, asking his niece if she is fine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Team Rocket stops running and attempts to face Gengar. Meowth&#039;s claws grow in anticipation for a {{m|Fury Swipes}}, though Gengar enters Meowth&#039;s body and possesses him. Mimikyu attacks, sending Meowth flying. Gengar emerges from his body and then possesses Jessie. In response, James commands Mareanie to use a gentle Knock Off against Jessie. The attack lands, and Gengar emerges from Jessie&#039;s body with tears in its eyes. As Meowth and Jessie quickly recover, Acerola, Mimi-tan, and Nanu stumble upon the trio. Nanu comments on the trio&#039;s skill before gifting them a Z-Power Ring. James places it on his wrist and has Mareanie perform {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}} for the first time against Gengar, defeating it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Acerola reveals that Gengar must have been lonely, hence why it kidnapped her and offered all of the stolen goods to her. This assumption turns out to be correct, for Gengar begins twirling around with her, and the two decide to become friends. Nanu tells Gengar that if it continues to misbehave, he will reseal the Pokémon into a tomb. In the process, he reveals that he is the Island Kahuna, much to Team Rocket&#039;s disbelief. Jessie angrily reveals Team Rocket&#039;s true motives for coming to see him. Nanu confirms that he has a personal connection with Giovanni and is aware of Team Rocket. As a result, he immediately grants the Team Rocket trio official ownership over the Z-Power Ring as repayment for looking after Acerola. Jessie and James&#039; attention turns to Acerola and her flying Mimikyu. Acerola states that Mimi-tan is an actual ghost, upon which Mimi-tan gives Jessie a [[Mimikium Z]]. Jessie, James, and Meowth are left ecstatic over achieving beyond their intended goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Ash, {{an|Rotom Pokédex}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{AP|Poipole}} are aboard a ship destined for [[Ula&#039;ula Island]].&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Poké Problem]]: &#039;&#039;The Pokémon that steals our [[Darkinium Z]] in today&#039;s episode…?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
** Host: [[Jessie]]&lt;br /&gt;
** Choices: {{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Wimpod}}, {{alo|Meowth}}&lt;br /&gt;
** Answer: Gengar&lt;br /&gt;
* In Japan, this episode aired almost exactly one year after [[SM025|the episode]] where {{TRT}} acquired a [[Darkinium Z]] (364 days later, one day shy of being a full year).&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Team Rocket&#039;s Team Song]] is used as an insert song when [[James]] and {{TP|James|Mareanie}} perform {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}}.&lt;br /&gt;
** The trio can also be heard singing the beginning of the song when landing on Ula&#039;ula Island.&lt;br /&gt;
* Jessie, James, and {{MTR}} read out the title card in the Japanese version.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Nanu]] and [[Officer Jenny]] narrate the preview for the [[SM074|next episode]].&lt;br /&gt;
* This is the second episode in the Sun and Moon series in which none of {{Ash}}&#039;s {{ashcl|classmates}} appear, the first episode being &#039;&#039;[[SM058|Fighting Back the Tears!]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
** This is also the first time since &#039;&#039;[[DP001|Following a Maiden&#039;s Voyage!]]&#039;&#039; that Ash appears near the end of the episode, 545 episodes earlier.&lt;br /&gt;
* When mocking Gengar, James pulls a face that resembles the character of Iyami from &#039;&#039;{{wp|Osomatsu-kun}}&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
* This is the first episode since its debut where {{Rotom}} does not speak.&lt;br /&gt;
* The man who had his [[Nugget]] stolen by Gengar in this episode bears a [[List of cross-canon references|strong resemblance]] to the Man of Mystery from [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]].&lt;br /&gt;

* Unlike every other evolution sequence, Litten doesn&#039;t glow whilst evolving, instead it is covered a red flame, with some parts of its body glowing in a purple aura before they&#039;ve finished transforming.&lt;br /&gt;

* The [[Twerp, Twerpette|ending animation]] is updated to include [[Ash&#039;s Torracat]].&lt;br /&gt;

===Errors===&lt;br /&gt;
