==Plot==
Having arrived back in [[Kanto]] from his travels in [[Unova]] and around the [[Decolore Islands]] and after bidding goodbye to {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} as they left to pursue their own dreams, {{Ash}} gets more and more excited as he passes many Kanto Pokémon and approaches [[Pallet Town]], much to [[Alexa]]'s exasperation. Before they know it, they're overlooking the small but picturesque town and as Alexa notes that this is where Ash's dreams of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]] were born, the young trainer is just glad to be home after so long.

As they walk through Pallet Town, Alexa notes that Ash's Pokémon must be anxiously waiting for him at his house but Ash corrects her that [[Professor Oak]] cares for them at his [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|laboratory]]. He's eager to head there at once and offers to show Alexa the way, but Alexa tells Ash that visiting [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] comes first and she can find her way. Ash agrees, and the two arrange to meet at the lab later before heading down separate paths.

At the Ketchum residence, [[Mimey|Mr. Mime]] is sweeping the front path when Ash arrives and the two have a happy reunion. Heading inside, Ash is greeted by his mom who asks him for his laundry. She notes that from the look of his worn backpack he clearly did his best, and Ash confirms that he did even if it wasn't enough to win the [[Vertress Conference|Unova League]]. As she takes the bag of dirty washing, Delia sends Ash upstairs to clean and get refreshed. Heading upstairs, Ash enters his bedroom and adds his collection of Unova Gym badges to his mementos of past adventures, knowing he did his best while resolving to do better next time.

Later, Ash has a hot drink as {{AP|Pikachu}} and Mr. Mime play together and Delia makes plans to invite Professor Oak and Alexa to dinner. She then notes that Ash is probably wanting to head to the lab to see his Pokémon and allows him to go. Ash happily leaves, promising to return soon.

At the lab, Professor Oak is in the middle of his interview with Alexa as he shows off {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Alexa asks if it is always peaceful with so many different Pokémon around. Professor Oak admits that while some quarrels do break out, Bulbasaur acts as a peacemaker and always manages to settle things quickly. Alexa is impressed, and asks Professor Oak if Bulbasaur is his Pokémon. Professor Oak replies that Ash is its actual trainer, and at that moment the young trainer arrives and greets Professor Oak. Bulbasaur is happy to see Ash again and starts running over, causing Ash to jump the fence and get trampled by the {{AP|Tauros}} herd. Professor Oak laughs as he explains that all the Tauros also belong to Ash and they often run over him, as Ash and Pikachu say hello to Bulbasaur. Ash apologizes to Alexa as he realizes he interrupted the interview and asks where [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]] is, and is told that {{an|Misty}} asked Tracey to visit [[Cerulean Gym]] that day. Ash sadly notes he's missed Tracey again, as Alexa is impressed that the whole lab is run by just two people. Professor Oak tells her that the ones to be impressed with are the trainers since because of them he gets to meet Pokémon from many regions and even he hasn't met all the Pokémon in the world. As he does this, he starts to examine {{p|Helioptile}}'s fins, but as he does Helioptile gets scared and uses {{m|Parabolic Charge}}, shocking the Professor.

Ash asks if Professor Oak has met {{p|Gogoat}}, which he has and even managed to get a ride off it. Ash then asks about {{p|Noivern}}, and Alexa confirms she withheld the fact she has one from him since it has an unusual nature. Professor Oak doesn't care and begs her to send it out, so Alexa does. Professor Oak is blown away by seeing it in the flesh, having only ever seen Noivern in pictures. He starts to examine it up close... a little too close, in fact. Eventually it gets too much for Noivern who uses {{m|Boomburst}} on the Professor before clamping down on Ash's head. As Ash flails about, Alexa feeds {{p|Noivern}} a [[Spelon Berry]] to get it to let go before recalling it into its [[Poké Ball]]. As Oak notes that any good researcher will look at a Pokémon from all angles, suddenly {{TP|Professor Oak|Rotom}} arrives and the Professor offers to take Alexa inside so he can show her his research about {{p|Rotom}}'s [[Form differences|form changes]].

Ash decides to stay outside and see his Pokémon, and requests that Bulbasaur summon the ones he caught in Unova. Bulbasaur then uses a special {{m|Solar Beam}} designed as a signal to Ash's Pokémon to gather. Alexa is amazed, as Professor Oak explains that Bulbasaur uses different patterns to call Pokémon caught specifically in certain regions like [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]] or [[Unova]]. {{AP|Unfezant}}, {{AP|Leavanny}}, {{AP|Palpitoad}}, {{AP|Boldore}} and {{AP|Krookodile}} all notice it and gather while Ash sends out {{AP|Charizard}}, {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Pignite}}, {{AP|Snivy}} and {{AP|Scraggy}}. As the various Pokémon all greet each other, Ash thanks them for their hard work during their travels and that he feels stronger despite losing the Unova League.

Ash lies back in the grass, thinking of how despite his experiences as a trainer he's still got a lot to learn and he thinks back to all the friends he's traveled with... Misty, {{an|Brock}}, Tracey, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], {{an|Dawn}} (and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}), Iris (and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}) and Cilan and, knowing that they're all working hard to achieve their dreams, declares that his own dream of being a Pokémon Master still burns bright as ever and each of his experiences moves him closer, and as long as he has his Pokémon by his side that dream will never end. All the gathered Pokémon happily agree, as Helioptile arrives. Seeing it reminds Ash that there's still many Pokémon he hasn't met yet, and suddenly knows what his next step will be.

Professor Oak and Alexa arrive, and Ash asks Alexa if there's other Pokémon in the [[Kalos]] region he hasn't seen. Alexa confirms that there are as well as a [[Pokémon League]], [[Elite Four]] and a [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]]. This settles it for Ash... his next destination will be the Kalos region.

Suddenly, several blue flames hit the field trapping the humans and Pokémon in a ring of fire. Professor Oak recognizes it as a {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} attack, and from above {{TRT}} arrive in their balloon and recite the motto. [[James]] congratulates {{TP|James|Yamask}} on successfully confining everyone and returns him to his Poké Ball as [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} declare that they're going to capture Pikachu and all the other Pokémon at the lab. As the balloon gets ready to use everything it has, Ash tells his Pokémon to use everything they have. With that Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, Snivy uses {{m|Leaf Storm}}, Pignite uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, Oshawott uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}, Unfezant uses {{m|Air Cutter}}, Scraggy uses {{m|Focus Blast}}, Leavanny uses {{m|Energy Ball}}, Boldore uses {{m|Flash Cannon}}, Palpitoad uses {{m|Mud Shot}}, Krookodile uses {{m|Stone Edge}} and Charizard uses Flamethrower and all the attacks combine into a single blast which easily dispatches of Team Rocket. Ash thanks his Pokémon for protecting the lab, and they all let out a happy cry.

At the Ketchum residence, Delia works hard on the sewing machine making a present for her son.

At [[Team Rocket HQ (anime)|Team Rocket HQ]], {{an|Giovanni}} congratulates Jessie, James and Meowth for taking out [[Team Plasma]]. As the three grow tearful at hearing their boss praise them, Giovanni then wants to see what they've achieved since then. Jessie and James get nervous, knowing they've achieved nothing however Meowth declares that they now own Pokémon which cannot be found in Kanto. Caught between a rock and a hard place, Jessie and James turn over {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}}, {{TP|Jessie|Frillish}}, Yamask and {{TP|James|Amoonguss}} to Giovanni and declare that they will help with Team Rocket's ultimate plan to take over the world.

Walking down a corridor afterwards, Jessie and James lament the fact they're now left with no Pokémon. They decide to recommit themselves to capturing Pikachu, but agree that after the recent debacle at the lab they need to plan out what they're going to do. Suddenly the three are startled to hear a familiar Pokémon behind them...

During dinner at his home, Ash tells his surprised mom that's he's planning to leave for Kalos the next day and challenge its Pokémon League. Alexa comments that, as usual, he'll need to collect eight Gym badges, and suggests he visits [[Viola|her younger sister's]] [[Santalune Gym|Gym]] first. Ash is surprised to hear that Alexa's sister is a Gym Leader and gets more and more excited. As Professor Oak comments that Ash's dream hasn't ended, Delia leaves and enters the kitchen. Ash and everyone start to worry that he's upset her by wanting to leave so soon after arriving home, but when she enters she reveals that she only left to get Ash the [[List of clothing in the anime|new clothes]] she's been making him. She tells Ash she knew he wouldn't be home for long and wishes him luck, telling him she's looking forward to when he wins the league. As everyone discusses the new adventure, Team Rocket listen in from the roof... alongside the recently returned {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. They decide to leave for [[Kalos]] straight away, still as committed to their own dreams.

Late that night, as he lies in bed, Ash finds that he can't sleep with the excitement of the upcoming adventure. He then thanks Pikachu for always being there for him during his journey and asks his best friend to always be there for him. Pikachu, as always, agrees and Ash promises himself that he'll get a lot stronger in Kalos.

At the airport the next day, Ash is in his new outfit ready to board the plane to Kalos and says goodbye to his mother and Professor Oak. They both bid Ash and Pikachu goodbye, and as the plane takes off Delia notes that always being ready for new adventures is how boys like Ash should be, then tearfully thinks of Ash knowing she'll always root for him in all his travels. The planes leaves as the [[narrator]] concludes the episode and the series by stating that Ash's adventures will continue on as always...

'''Next Time - A New Beginning!'''

Later in the Ketchum household, Delia places a framed picture on the mantle of Ash and all of his Pokémon, partners and friends forever.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash with his Pokémon.png|250px|thumb|The photo of Ash with all of his Pokémon (excluding {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Primeape}})]]
* This episode was followed by a preview for [[SS027]], narrated by {{an|Cilan}} and {{an|Brock}}, and a preview for the {{series|XY}}, narrated by Ash.
* Similar to the final episodes of the previous three series, the usual ''To be continued'' is replaced with ''Next Time... A New Beginning!''.
* This is the first time that the ''[[Who's That Pokémon?|Dare da?]]'' Pokémon in the Japanese version doesn't make an actual appearance in the episode itself.
* The jingle that previously played from [[BW001]] to [[BW019]] during the title cards is used again in this episode.
* The background music used for [[Team Rocket mottos|Team Rocket's motto]] is the [[Best Wishes! / Fanfare of the Heart|original Unova motto music]] that previously played from [[BW002]] to [[BW006]], instead of the usual Sinnoh motto music re-arrangement that has played from [[BW035]] onwards.
* This episode marks the first time since ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'' that no protagonists other than Ash have appeared outside of fantasies and flashbacks.
* This episode is, to date, the largest gathering of all of Ash's Pokémon at one time. It should be noted that with the exception of {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Tauros}} and the Pokémon he traveled with in [[Unova]] and the [[Decolore Islands]], Ash's other Pokémon only appear in a photograph shown during a post-credits scene.
* All of {{Ash}}'s Unova Pokémon are seen together for the first time.
* As of this episode, {{AP|Palpitoad}} is the Pokémon with the most episodes absent while still being in rotation of all main characters' Pokémon.
* As of this episode, [[Ash's Charizard]] permanently returns from training in the [[Charicific Valley]], staying behind at Professor Oak's Laboratory with the rest of Ash's Pokémon, rather than going back to the care of {{jo|Liza}}. It marks the first time Charizard has stayed at the lab under the care of Professor Oak.
* This episode confirms [[Ash's Gliscor]] was sent to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] following the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].
* {{an|Giovanni}} and [[Matori]] appear in this episode with their new designs from the ''XY'' series.
* During Ash's fantasy, {{an|Misty}} is shown in her original series outfit instead of the clothes she wore in her later appearances, while {{an|Brock}} and {{an|May}} are wearing their most recent outfits instead.
* The pajamas that Ash wears in this episode are the same as he wore in [[EP001|the first episode]], which is notably what he was wearing when he first met Pikachu.
* While at the airport [[Alexa]]'s {{p|Helioptile}} is nowhere to be seen, indicating it was inside its [[Poké Ball]] for the first time since its debut.
* As this episode ends the [[Best Wishes series|''Best Wishes!'']] series, it also ends the ''Decolora Adventure'' arc.
* Since Iris and Cilan had left Ash in the prior episode, only Ash is heard during the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment.

===Errors===
* The surroundings of Ash's house are completely different from the ones showed in previous episodes. The house itself also has a slightly different appearance.
* When all of Ash's Pokémon celebrate after defeating Team Rocket, Unfezant disappeared for a moment.

===Dub edits===
*The jingle that previously played from [[BW001]] to [[BW019]] during the title cards is removed, and replaced with the jingle from [[BW020]] and onwards.
* The post-credits scene of the photo of Ash with all of his Pokémon is cut in the international version.

==Trivia==

* This episode was followed by a trailer for the {{series|XY}}.
* Cilan and Iris plan to travel to [[Johto]] using the [[Magnet Train]], which was still under construction in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]''.
** It should be also noted that in the aforementioned episode it was said that it would take a year before the train would be finished, indicating that at least a year has passed from that moment.
* The background music used for [[Team Rocket's motto]] is the [[Best Wishes! / Fanfare of the Heart|original Unova motto music]] that previously played from [[BW002]] to [[BW006]], instead of the usual Sinnoh motto music re-arrangement that has played from [[BW035]] onwards.
* This episode features the following flashbacks of {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}}:
** Ash meeting Iris from ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]''.
** Ash meeting Cilan from ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' and ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]''.
** Cilan demonstrating his [[fishing]] skills from ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]''.
** Iris and Cilan dressing up as [[Professor Juniper]] and [[Elesa]], respectively, from ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]''.
** Ash and Cilan battling against [[Soren and Rocko]] from ''[[BW099|A Surface to Air Tag Battle Team!]]''.
** Iris calming down the enraged {{p|Hydreigon}} from ''[[BW100|A Village Homecoming!]]''.
** Ash apologizing to Iris from ''[[BW131|The Path That Leads to Goodbye!]]''.

===Errors===
* When [[Jessie]] stands on the rope ladder reciting the {{motto}} as herself, she is seen wearing her short shirt, while half of it should be identical to [[James]]'s longer shirt.

===Dub edits===
* In the dub, James can be heard laughing along Jessie and Meowth after the balloons lift up the cruise ship. However, James was not actually with the other two at the time. In the original version, Jessie was trying to laugh with a gender-neutral voice so she could sound like herself and imitate James at the same time.
* Similarly to ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', Team Rocket's original Unova motto BGM is removed, but instead of being replaced with the Sinnoh motto music, it is replaced with dub-exclusive music.

'''Paladin Island''' (Japanese: '''ガンリュウ島''' ''Ganryū Island'') is the seventeenth and last island that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited during their travels through the [[Decolore Islands]]. The island is famous for its lighthouse where the strongest Trainer of the [[Unova]] region and the strongest Trainer of the [[Sinnoh]] region battled each other long ago.

As Ash and his friends approached the island by ship, [[Porter]] came up to {{an|Cilan}}, informing there was a call for him from his brothers [[Chili]] and [[Cress]]. They were heading for Paladin Island too, as there was a crisis going on at [[Striaton Gym]], involving a Trainer called [[Morana]] who crushed both Chili and Cress with her {{type|Ice}} Pokémon and wanted to close the Gym.

On the island, Ash and his friends decided to cook a meal, until they were approached by an {{p|Abomasnow}}, who viciously attacked [[Cilan's Pansage]]. The Abomasnow was revealed to belong to Morana. At that same moment, Chili and Cress arrived at the scene and explained what happened over at the Striaton Gym to Cilan. With Chili and Cress already having been defeated, Cilan now decided to take his responsibility and take on Morana, to save the Striaton Gym. As Morana originated from Sinnoh, this would mean another battle between a Trainer from Sinnoh and a Trainer from Unova would take place on the island, just like long ago. After a hard-fought battle between Cilan's Pansage and Morana's Abomasnow, Cilan managed to win and saved the Striaton Gym.

==Trivia==

[[File:Morana.png|thumb|220px|Morana]]
'''Morana''' (Japanese: '''ドラゴ''' ''Drago'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[BW140|Survival of the Striaton Gym!]]''. She is a dojo breaker from [[Sinnoh]].

Morana visited the [[Striaton Gym]], though she did not wish to acquire the [[Trio Badge]]. Instead, when confronted by [[Chili]] and [[Cress]], she challenged them to battle with the status of the Gym at stake. Initially, the brothers were reluctant but decided to accept her challenge after she insulted Cress. She defeated Chili and Cress in short order, but then learned that she had to defeat {{an|Cilan}}, the third Gym Leader, to fully defeat the Gym.

With that knowledge, she traveled to [[Paladin Island]] in the [[Decolore Islands]], as did Chili and Cress, to meet up with Cilan. After Cilan learned the events that had played out, he accepted Morana's challenge and decided to use his [[Cilan's Pansage|Pansage]] as it was his closest partner. She used her {{p|Abomasnow}} and took an early lead in the battle. However, during the battle, Cilan performed an evaluation on Morana's relationship with Abomasnow, in which he concluded that she put victory in battle above all else, even her relationship with her Pokémon. After confirming his evaluation, Morana tried to overpower Cilan to win, but Cilan and Pansage overwhelmed her using a tactical attack. She bitterly admitted defeat and swore she would defeat Cilan the next time they met.

==Blurb==

While Alexa is getting her video equipment repaired, Ash, Iris, and Cilan take some time off to have a relaxing lunch on shore. At least, that’s the plan, but the Pokémon keep getting into little squabbles over the food. Eventually Emolga unleashes its Discharge attack to zap everyone who’s annoying it, prompting a scolding from Iris.

After lunch, Iris sees Emolga and Axew playing together, and asks Emolga to keep an eye on Axew for her. But when her back is turned, Axew disturbs a Galvantula and gets zapped! Emolga tries to help, but it runs into Axew by mistake, and Axew ends up with a nasty bump on its head. When Iris sees the bump—and the lingering electricity from Galvantula’s attack—she blames Emolga, who flies off in a huff...

...only to land right in the middle of a Team Rocket strategy meeting! After a sudden battle in which Emolga takes down Woobat and Yamask, then Frillish and Amoonguss, all without breaking a sweat, Jessie adopts a new strategy and invites Emolga to become part of Team Rocket!

Iris is now worried about what happened to Emolga, and our heroes set off on a search. They find Emolga with Jessie, James, and Meowth, and the villains have gotten their hands on Axew as well. The sudden appearance of an angry Exploud gives Team Rocket cover to escape, and off they go.

Our heroes need to find Team Rocket and get to the bottom of what’s going on, so Charizard and Dragonite go off to look for the villains. Soon, a nasty battle ensues, and although Meowth overhears Emolga’s plan—it’s only pretending to join them so it can get back at Iris for the earlier misunderstanding—Team Rocket still has that angry Exploud to exploit! More battling ensues, but Team Rocket, along with Exploud, are sent blasting off again.

All this time, Axew has been trying to let Iris know what really happened with the Galvantula, and when she finally pays attention, she finds that she can understand what Axew is thinking! Iris realizes she’s made a huge mistake by accusing Emolga of something it didn’t do. After she apologizes, everything is forgiven and life gets back to normal. Cilan even speculates that Iris’s skill at understanding Axew’s thoughts could very well be another step on her path to becoming a Dragon Master!

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
Waiting for the [[Decolore Islands|Decolore]] cruise ship to sail after the evening, [[Alexa]] is telling {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} that her camcorder isn't working, and she can't make photos no more. So without further ado, Alexa and her {{p|Helioptile}} leaves our heroes temporarily to repair her camcorder. Meanwhile, back to our heroes, Ash, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} are spending a while in a meadow, having a relaxing picnic, while realeasing all of their [[Pokémon]] to gorge down on some food. At this time, {{AP|Oshawott}} ate his meal, and then he jumped to eat {{AP|Pignite}}'s meal. Suddenly, Pignite noticed that his bowl is empty because Oshawott ate his meal. Pignite became very angry and punched Oshawott very hard, and then Oshawott knocked {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} along with her food. She was very angry at Oshawott and used {{m|Discharge}} on him for spilling her food. Then Iris arrives and warned her not to use Discharge on the other Pokémon, but Emolga ignored her warning. Later, {{AP|Scraggy}} was walking happily on the grass, when suddenly, he notes Emolga sitting on the boulder and eating her [[Pokémon food]] so nobody would disturb her again. Emolga wasn't happy at all, she was still angry. Then Scraggy goes to her to check what she is doing, but when Emolga looked at him, she turned left and does not want to talk to him. But then, Scraggy got mad at Emolga, who had ignored him, and Scraggy used his {{m|Headbutt}} on her, while she dodged his attack. Instead of attacking Emolga, Scraggy knocked her food and then spilled it. When Emolga notices her food has been spilled again, she's really furious this time. Emolga uses Discharge on Scraggy, who spilled her food. Then Iris arrived and warned Emolga to stop using her Discharge on the other Pokémon again, while Emolga once again ignored her warning. Later, {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and Emolga are playing together around the rock where {{AP|Snivy}} is sitting.

Iris tells Emolga to make sure Axew does not get hurt and Emolga agrees. When they both stop by a tree, a {{p|Galvantula}} appears and hits Axew with {{m|Electro Ball}}, much to Emolga's anger. But before something could happen, the wind causes Emolga to bump into Axew as he rolls down the hill and crashes into the same rock. This causes Axew to cry and have a bump on his head. Iris, Ash, and Cilan appears to see what happened. Iris picks up her injured Axew, but Cilan checks the bump on Axew's head, sparks appear and Iris accused Emolga for attacking Axew. Emolga tries to explain, but Snivy smacked her with one of her vines. Iris demands Emolga to apologize to Axew, making Emolga really upset and storm off. As Ash and his friends walk away to take care of Axew, Axew sadly looks back to where Emolga flies off.

As Emolga glides through the air, she loses her balance and falls to where {{TRT}} are. [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s Pokémon try to engage in a battle with her, but Emolga easily defeats them with a Discharge-{{m|Hidden Power}} combo. After what seems to be an overwhelming victory, Jessie convinces James and {{MTR}} so they invite her to join their side. Emolga, not thinking that anything is up, joins forces with the trio.

Elsewhere, Axew is fully recovered by Cilan's Super Potion. Iris was wondering what's up with Axew, causing Axew to wander off. She then realizes that Emolga didn't come back yet and Ash agrees. Ash returns all of his Pokemon, expect Snivy who wanted to stay out because she's worried about Axew. As Snivy follows Axew, Iris recalled two of her Pokemon and Cilan recalled {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}.

While Iris is wondering about where Emolga is, Team Rocket shows up, and recites their motto with Emolga joining in. Everyone is shocked that Emolga joined up with Team Rocket. But before Ash and his friends can act, James takes out {{TP|James|Yamask}} and distracts everyone using {{m|Haze}}. Emolga pulls Axew out of the smoke, as Snivy stops her with {{m|Vine Whip}}. Iris asks why Emolga is doing this as Emolga turns away. Then Snivy and Emolga started arguing and Meowth was a little shocked by this and decides not to tell his crew anything. Snivy attacks Emolga with Vine Whip and Emolga returned the favor with Hidden Power but Snivy dodges. Emolga uses another Hidden Power but this time Snivy deflected it with {{m|Leaf Blade}}. The orb went straight through the trees and through a cave where an {{p|Exploud}} is sleeping. This causes to wake up Exploud and smoke coming out of its holes. Back in the forest, Snivy got hit by Emolga's Discharge and they started arguing again. Snivy hits Emolga with Leaf Blade as Ash and Pikachu steps in to stop Snivy from fighting. Then the Exploud from the cave appears out of the bushes and launches a {{m|Flamethrower}}. Ash looks it up in the Pokedex but as he finishes, Exploud unleashes another Flamethrower at Ash who manages to avoid in time. Then Exploud uses {{m|ThunderPunch}} to chase the heroes away. Using this as a perfect opportunity, Team Rocket is getting away with Emolga holding Axew. Before Iris can get her Pokemon back, Exploud attacks again with {{m|Hyper Beam}} and Ash and Co. runs away.

==Blurb==

Spending time in an island Pokémon Center on their way to the Kanto region, our heroes take a moment to relax while Alexa does some work on an upcoming story. She asks them to check on her Gogoat, a well-behaved Pokémon who doesn’t require a lot of supervision—so Ash and the others aren’t paying attention when Gogoat meets a young boy named Tony, senses that the boy wants to go somewhere, and promptly sets off with Tony on its back!

Of course, as soon as our heroes discover Gogoat is missing, they rush off to find Officer Jenny and ask her for help. She’s already talking to Tony’s mom, who mentions that Tony wanted to visit the mountaintop observatory where his father works to deliver a special birthday present. Alexa thinks Gogoat might have sensed Tony’s wishes and decided to take him there on its own.

But the mountain can be dangerous, so our heroes set off to make sure Tony is safe, splitting up to explore the two paths to the observatory. Ash and Alexa quickly catch up with the wayward boy and ask him to come back to town, but Tony is determined to get to the observatory, so they decide to go with him.

They finally reach the top, and Tony’s dad is relieved to see him and very happy with his present: a drawing of his favorite constellation, Braviary. After some stargazing, our heroes and Alexa are ready to continue their journey!

==Blurb==

Our heroes are geared up for some serious stargazing—Alexa has told them about the Conley Comet, which is scheduled to make a rare appearance tonight! She’s excited to film this celestial event, including the Pokémon who always gather on the mountaintop to watch the comet approach.

Ash, Iris, and Cilan want to know more, so Alexa shows them the whole story in an old book. In ancient times, a Trainer named Conley calmed down a group of attacking Pokémon and befriended them, saving the island and becoming a hero in the process. The islanders built an impressive battlefield on the mountaintop in his honor, and as Ash and friends make plans to see it, they are approached by a mysterious woman wearing a crown. She confirms that they’re going up the mountain, then gives Ash a medal and tells him it will be useful.

Meanwhile, Jessie, James, and Meowth are disguising themselves as some of the Ghost-type Pokémon who live in the area, intending to follow our heroes and steal Pikachu!

Inside the ruins of the battlefield, Ash and the others discover a huge statue of Conley—but are quickly distracted by the disguised Team Rocket popping out of hiding to scare them! Alexa’s Helioptile, who’s been nervous throughout the trip, reacts with a massive surge of electricity. James gets zapped and stumbles into the statue, causing it to topple over and land on Jessie, who angrily throws it aside. The three villains discard their disguises—only to find themselves floating in midair. Several Gengar and Banette appear from within the ruins, using Psychic to keep Team Rocket away from the statue. When the angry Pokémon descend on Ash and the others, Alexa brings out her Noivern (an impressive Pokémon from the Kalos region) to battle them, giving everyone a chance to escape!

The Ghost-type Pokémon aren’t giving up that easily, though, and the chase continues until a Shadow Ball knocks Ash off his feet. The medal he got from the mysterious woman falls out of his pocket, and the Pokémon are immediately interested. Meowth listens in so he can translate: it turns out the medal actually belonged to Conley, which marks Ash and the others as friends rather than enemies. Cilan figures out that these Pokémon are the very ones Conley once befriended! And after the statue of Conley is restored to its rightful place, the Ghost-type Pokémon are very happy. (Of course, Team Rocket can’t leave it there, and they try to take Pikachu even after our heroes helped them get away...but the Pokémon quickly send them blasting off again.)

Night has fallen, and the blindingly bright and beautiful Conley Comet finally makes its appearance! The Ghost-type Pokémon begin a joyful dance, and the mysterious woman who gave Ash the medal reappears from the ruins. She explains that the Pokémon are dancing to celebrate their ancient hero, and identifies herself only as “the one who knows the past and then passes it on to the future.” Alexa starts filming as Ash, Iris, and Cilan join the celebration as well!

The next morning, Alexa tries to play back her recording, only to discover that it’s nothing but static. Ash’s medal has disappeared, too. Alexa remembers that the medal looked familiar, and flips through her book to look it up. And she finds it—along with an old picture of the mysterious woman standing next to Conley! Could the woman have come to them from the distant past?

* At 79 days, this was the shortest gap between an episode's Japanese airing and regular dubbed airing until ''[[BW139|Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit!]]'', just two episodes later.
** Although ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' and ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'' break this record, these were aired as a sneak preview for the {{series|XY}}, so the record was not broken for the regular schedule.

The {{tt|Different Colored|Shiny}} {{tt|Crimgan|Druddigon}}!!'') is the 136th episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and the 793rd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]].

==Blurb==

Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Alexa continue their shipboard tour of the Decolore Islands. As they near Cave Island, Porter explains that the name comes from the island’s enormous cave, where many kinds of Pokémon live. They’re all set to explore the cave when Alexa realizes she has to go back for her recording equipment, and our heroes aren’t sure where to go.

Fortunately, Ash spots a familiar face: Clair, the Gym Leader of the Dragon-type Blackthorn Gym in the Johto region! Iris is excited to meet a Dragon Master, and the two of them bond quickly. Clair says she’s going to the cave in search of a rare Druddigon with different coloring, and our heroes are excited to join her in her quest! But first, she has to find her Dragonite, who’s wandered off somewhere...

Iris’s Dragonite and Ash’s Charizard go looking for Clair’s Dragonite, but when the two Dragonite meet, sparks fly—and not in a good way. The battle is on! When Cilan catches up, he has a different interpretation...since Iris’s Dragonite is a boy and Clair’s is a girl, the Film Connoisseur is convinced that this battle is merely the first step in a star-crossed love story. (Iris and Clair aren’t so sure about that...)

When they finally get the Pokémon calmed down and arrive at the cave, they see many kinds of Pokémon running away. It seems the Team Rocket trio overheard Clair talking about the rare Druddigon and decided to go after it! They’ve blocked off one of the two exits from the cave and set up a device that emits painful sound waves that only Pokémon can hear, intending to drive the Druddigon to the other exit, where they’re waiting to nab it.

That doesn’t go so well. When Druddigon emerges from the cave, it’s furious, and the villains’ attacks enrage it even more. It blasts them off with a powerful Dragon Rage and then turns on our heroes! Clair quickly realizes that battling isn’t the answer, so she starts trying to calm it down, using the patience and skills she’s learned as a Dragon Master.

As Iris watches Clair calmly working with the rare Druddigon, she tells Ash and Cilan about a similar situation she faced as a young girl. She met an angry Druddigon in a cave, and though she was afraid of it at first, she quickly realized it was injured and decided she had to help. Iris treated Druddigon and won its trust, and that was the first time she realized she had a strong connection with Dragon-type Pokémon.

Sure enough, Clair’s soothing words and gentle manner get through to the raging Druddigon. Clair decides that she doesn’t need to catch Druddigon after all, and advises it to go back home now that she’s disabled Team Rocket’s device—but it refuses to leave, and the Gym Leader happily adds it to her team. The four of them return to the ship, where they meet up with Alexa, who’s disappointed that she missed all the excitement. Clair does give her a brief chance to film the rare Druddigon, but then it’s time to go. Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Alexa set off on their voyage once more, and Clair and her new Druddigon are beginning an adventure of their own—after hearing about them from Iris, Clair is making plans to visit the Village of Dragons and then stop by Opelucid Academy to meet Drayden!

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's lecture|Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]]: {{p|Ferrothorn}}
* This episode marks the first time since ''[[EP235|Talkin' Bout an Evolution!]]'' that the ''[[Who's That Pokémon?|Dare da?]]'' segment features a [[Shiny Pokémon]].
* This is [[Clair]]'s first physical appearance in her new look, since she appeared in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'' only in {{an|Lyra}}'s [[Johto]] introduction.
* [[Clair's Dragonite]]'s eyes retain the drawing style used in previous series, in contrast to [[Iris's Dragonite]]'s, which use a different style closer to [[Ken Sugimori]]'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|most recent]] artwork for the species.
* A flashback was shown from ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'' with the reanimated graphics of the {{series|Best Wishes}}.
** Unlike other characters shown in flashbacks, the {{p|Dragonite}} from the [[Dragon Holy Land]] does not get its eyes updated to the ''Best Wishes'' style ([[BW136#Errors|except for one scene]]). This could be done either to keep some aspects of the {{series|original}}, much like the flashback to an {{m|Iron Tail}} attack from ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', or to differentiate it from Iris's Dragonite, like Clair's is.
* Iris's Dragonite is confirmed to be male in this episode.
** This makes {{an|Iris}} the first main character to have all of her Pokémon with a confirmed [[gender]].
* This is, so far, the episode with most errors in regards to animation, with approximately 20.
* The dub title is based on the phrase "a horse of a different color".

===Errors===
* [[Clair]] says the {{p|Dragonite}} that was out of control in the [[Dragon Holy Land]] was hers, but it was not hers.
* When {{Ash}} runs to greet Clair, his hair is shown completely black instead of the usual dark cyan tone.
* During the flashback from ''Great Bowls of Fire!'', the Dragonite from the Dragon Holy Land has its eyes drawn in the style of Iris's Dragonite in one scene.
* In a recurring error, when Iris releases her Dragonite from its Poké Ball, its antennae are briefly the same orange color as its body.
* When Ash asks [[Ash's Charizard|his Charizard]] for help, Charizard's eyes are completely blue.
* In one scene, {{MTR}}'s tail is colored dark brown instead of light brown.
* When the two Dragonite hit Charizard, Charizard's wings have its lighted color and its shadowed color switched for two frames.
* When Charizard approaches everyone, {{an|Cilan}}'s backpack is missing part of its gray coloration.
* When Clair and Iris try to stop the fight between their Dragonite by yelling to their corresponding Pokémon, both Dragonite suddenly switch places in one scene.
* Clair's right glove disappears in two scenes: when she points to the flower Dragonite stepped on, and when she is commenting on Cilan's moods along Iris.
* In the scene where Meowth's ears are unplugged for the first time, [[Jessie]]'s lipstick is missing.
* When Ash commands Charizard, a portion of the Poké Ball symbol on [[Ash's hat|his hat]] is missing.
* During the scene when Ash puts his hat on Pikachu's head, the red coloration suddenly becomes bigger, overlapping the visor border.
* When Meowth enters the cave by himself, Jessie's black undershirt is missing.
* [[James]]'s hand is ungloved when commanding an attack in one shot.
* Before {{p|Druddigon}} hits Clair with its tail, its claws are colored pink.
* During Iris's flashback, the stomach on the Druddigon she is helping to heal is given the same coloration as its claws.
* In one scene, Clair's clothes are missing the black stripe.
* When Iris remembers the Druddigon saving her from a {{p|Scolipede}}, Iris's dress is the same color as her leggings.
* When Alexa picks her camera from her {{p|Gogoat}}'s backpack, the Pokémon is at her side, but in the very next scene, Gogoat is nowhere to be found.

===Dub edits===
* Throughout the entire episode, [[Clair's Dragonite]] is mistaken as the same {{p|Dragonite}} from the [[Dragon Holy Land]].
* {{an|Cilan}} incorrectly states in the dub that {{an|Iris}} is due to inherit the Opelucid Academy from [[Drayden]] when she is actually due to inherit the [[Opelucid Gym|Gym]].

==Blurb==

When Alexa shows our heroes a mysterious treasure map linked to their next stop on Frond Island, everyone is very excited! She tells them the story of a pirate, his Pokémon (Shiftry, Nidoking, Mismagius, Honchkrow, and Vulpix), and the unknown treasure his ship contained. Jessie, James, and Meowth, who have been eavesdropping on our heroes’ conversation, decide to wait patiently until the Twerps find the treasure so they can steal it—and Pikachu too, of course...

Alexa takes Ash, Iris, and Cilan by boat to a small, deserted island nearby. After a narrow escape from a whirlpool, they find a hidden inlet that leads them through some tall cliffs as three Honchkrow keep a watchful eye on them. There, decaying on a beach, is a very old pirate ship! But Team Rocket has been following them underwater in a pedal-powered submarine, and when the villains surface too quickly, they ram the ancient ship by accident, sending it slithering back into the depths.

Ash is afraid the treasure went down with the ship, so he’s relieved when Alexa spies a door covered with symbols that resemble the ones on her treasure map! Cilan moves the symbols around to match the map, and the door opens to reveal a staircase.

At the top of the stairs is a dense forest, where our heroes are attacked by two Mismagius, then a Nidoking, and then three Shiftry! Alexa starts to put the pieces together and realizes that the Pokémon who have been attacking them match the story of the pirate and his crew! But they haven’t seen a Vulpix yet...

On the mountaintop, they find four Pokémon statues and one empty pillar. Then, the final Pokémon attacks—it’s a Ninetales, who must have evolved from the Vulpix they’ve been looking for! After they drive off the Ninetales, they discover the fifth statue and the secret entrance at its base. Sensing an opportunity, Jessie, James, and Meowth finally show themselves and prepare to battle our heroes for the treasure—but they’re all tired out from fighting the island’s Pokémon, and they’re quickly sent blasting off with nothing.

Sure enough, there’s a treasure chest inside the final statue, and it holds an amazing hoard of Evolution Stones! Our heroes and Alexa then realize the Pokémon that attacked them were protecting this treasure. Alexa decides to delete her records of this adventure, and everyone agrees to keep the island a secret, for the good of the Pokémon that live there. They return to the ship to continue their journey through the Decolore Islands and ultimately to Kanto!

* This episode aired on September 19, 2013 in Italy (on K2), sixteen days before the US airdate.

===Errors===
* During the introduction of the episode, the lights Meowth notices are from Beheeyem's left hand. The two reflections of Beheeyem's finger lights on Meowth's two eyes are shown symmetrically. Both eyes should have reflected the same light pattern (that is, a horizontally flipped left hand pattern), meaning that the pattern shown in Meowth's right eye is correct while the pattern shown in his left eye is wrong.
* When Meowth is angry, one of the Beheeyem has all six of its lights in the wrong place.
* When Pikachu is picked up by Ash, the black on his ears turn the same color as Ash's gloves during a few frames.
* In one scene, Pikachu jumps from Ash's left shoulder to the right one, overlapping through his hair and ear.
* The first possessed citizens that jumped into the manhole are different from the first ones who were shown falling underground.
* The Beheeyem that James grabbed had its finger lights in the wrong position the first time it was shown.
* The two Beheeyem that possessed Meowth also had their lights wrong at first.
* When the five Beheeyem reunite to see Ash's koban, all of them have their finger lights in the wrong position, excluding the one in front of the others.
** This error is repeated when they see James's koban, since the four Beheeyem's footage is recycled.
* After reactivating the ship, a floating Beheeyem is shown with only its upper half drawn.

** A preview of the upcoming {{p|Mewtwo}}'s [[SS026|prologue]] in the upcoming 2-hour special included scenes from ''[[M15|Keldeo VS. The Sword of Justice]]''

===Errors===
* During the introduction of the episode, the lights Meowth notices are from Beheeyem's left hand. The two reflections of Beheeyem's finger lights on Meowth's two eyes are shown symmetrically. Both eyes should have reflected the same light pattern (that is, a horizontally flipped left hand pattern), meaning that the pattern shown in Meowth's right eye is correct while the pattern shown in his left eye is wrong.
* When Meowth is angry, one of the Beheeyem has all six of its lights in the wrong place.
* When Pikachu is picked up by Ash, the black on his ears turn the same color as Ash's gloves during a few frames.
* In one scene, Pikachu jumps from Ash's left shoulder to the right one, overlapping through his hair and ear.
* The first possessed citizens that jumped into the manhole are different from the first ones who were shown falling underground.
* The Beheeyem that James grabbed had its finger lights in the wrong position the first time it was shown.
* The two Beheeyem that possessed Meowth also had their lights wrong at first.
* When the five Beheeyem reunite to see Ash's koban, all of them have their finger lights in the wrong position, excluding the one in front of the others.
** This error is repeated when they see James's koban, since the four Beheeyem's footage is recycled.
* After reactivating the ship, a floating Beheeyem is shown with only its upper half drawn.

Ash and his friends are still on [[Capacia Island]]. One night, Pikachu and Axew witness a rare event, the 1,000 year awakening of the Pokemon Jirachi, which only wakes for seven days.

* [[Professor Oak's lecture|Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]]: {{p|Zweilous}}
* {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} narrate the preview for the [[BW131|next episode]].
* As of this episode, all of Ash's original six Pokémon ({{AP|Charmander|Charizard}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{AP|Pidgeotto|Pidgeot}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Butterfree}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}) have appeared in the {{series|Best Wishes}}, either in flashbacks or in the flesh.
* While gender differences for Pokémon which debuted before [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|the introduction of these differences]] have been acknowledged in the anime, this is not true for the Butterfree in this episode, all of which — including the [[Pink Butterfree]], confirmed to be female — [[Gender difference#Generation I Pokémon|have no purple spots on their wings]] and thus appear to be male. This may be either an animation oversight or an indication that Butterfree's anime design is not intended to correlate with its gender differences in the games.

===Errors===
* During several scenes throughout the episode, {{Ash}}'s eyes are colored black instead of brown.
* When Ash and his friends witness the evolution of the Metapod swarm, Ash says that he's never before seen this many Metapod evolving at the same time, even though he has already witnessed a mass evolution of Metapod in [[M04|the fourth movie]].
* When Ash is reading a magazine in the [[Pokémon Center]], Pikachu's right cheek is colored pink, and Metapod's eyelid is placed in the wrong position.
* During the brief scene showing {{TRT}} after their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]], the [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]]'s ears are cream-colored like its face, instead of black.
* In one scene, one of the video screens on the control panel of Team Rocket's balloon disappears.
* When Team Rocket are [[Team Rocket mottos#Blasting off|blasted off]], {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} and {{TP|James|Amoonguss}} disappear.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{incomplete synopsis}}
On a cruise ship during their travels through the [[Decolore Islands]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}} and {{AP|Snivy}} are watching how {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Pignite}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} play with a ball. Noting how they are in a place of the archipelago with many islands, [[Porter]] approaches them and offers them some juice. Meanwhile, on the water, two Pokémon emerge, an {{p|Octillery}} that climbs up to the ship's deck and a {{p|Croconaw}}, who waits under it. When the Pokémon are playing, Ash's Pignite makes a bad pass and goes after the ball. However, when he finds it, the Octillery jumps over him and then throws a boltrope to the water. Croconaw holds on to it and an {{p|Azumarill}} joins as well, Octillery pulls a capstan lever and the three proceed to enter to the ship.

At the ship's storage, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} sneak in through the ventilation system in order to steal some food. However, before they get a chance, the Water-type Pokémon appear and steal the food before them, taking it off the ferry. Ash & Co. hear the alarm and rush to help, only to find the getaway raft and watch the Pokémon get away with the food. After hearing about the acts that these pirate Pokémon partake within, Ash decides to try and stop them, with Charizard, Snivy & Pignite attempting to make them see the errors of the ways.

[[File:BW129 error.png|thumb|220px|Jessie's earrings error]]
===Errors===
* There is inconsistency in regards to the color of the ship railings. While the railings in the roofed ship terrace are colored red in most scenes, when they are showed from the outside and during full views of the ship, they are blue. Since the ship itself and [[Porter]]'s color schemes features blue, the railings are probably supposed to be blue as well.
* In one scene, [[Jessie]]'s earrings are colored red.
* In another scene, {{p|Azumarill}}'s face is missing.
* While riding the boat, {{AP|Oshawott}} sits on Ash's lap, but when he leans over to talk to [[Officer Jenny]], Oshawott disappears.
* In the U.S. broadcasting, [[It's Always You and Me#Version 2 (BW110 - BW122)|version two]] of [[It's Always You and Me]] (used from ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'' to ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'') was used, instead of [[It's Always You and Me#Version 3 (BW123 - Present)|version three]] which began being used in ''[[BW123|Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures!]]''.
* When Charizard goes flying in search of the raft, the downside greenish part of its wings is upside, and the upper orange parts of its wings is downside.

* This episode marks the first time since the Orange Islands saga (from the {{series|original}}), that Japanese text can be seen.
** This is also the first time since ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' that Japanese text is left as-is in the dub.
* This episode marks the first time that someone mentions the existence of {{DL|List of Pokémon by gender ratio|genderless}} Pokémon in the anime.
* Though not exactly a [[boss fantasy]], this is the first time in the {{series|Best Wishes}} that {{TRT}} fantasizes about the Pokémon they are planning to steal.
* When Professor Oak initially fails to catch Rotom, he says, "Almost had it!" The same message also appears in the games if a Pokémon escapes from a [[Poké Ball]] after three shakes.
* In this episode, for the first time since the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, Team Rocket uses a variation of their {{motto}}.
* The beam emitters that Team Rocket use to capture Rotom are similar in design to the Proton Packs from ''{{wp|Ghostbusters}}''.
* At the end of the Japanese version of the episode, the [[narrator]] impersonates Professor Oak. Both characters have [[Unshō Ishizuka|the same voice actor]].

===Errors===
* In the U.S. broadcasting, [[It's Always You and Me#Version 2 (BW110 - BW122)|version two]] of [[It's Always You and Me]] (used from ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'' to ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'') was used, instead of [[It's Always You and Me#Version 3 (BW123 - Present)|version three]] which began being used in ''[[BW123|Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures!]]''.

===Dub edits===
* '''Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster''' is localized as '''Professor Oak's Who's That Pokémon'''.
* Since the narrator and Professor Oak don't share their voice actor in the English dub, Professor Oak interrupts the narrator and recites the ''"...as the journey continues"'' line himself; unlike the Japanese version which has the narrator impersonating Oak.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} head to [[Grand Spectrala Island]], they soon find themselves in a large area of fog, which starts to envelop the ship. From the fog, a massive shadow appears out nowhere and looms over the vessel, scaring them. Everyone hits the deck expecting to collide with the shadow, but nothing seems to happen. When they get up, the shadow has vanished and the fog fades away. [[Porter]] arrives on deck, and the group asks him if he saw the shadow, but he confirms that neither he nor the crew has seen anything. Despite this, everyone is certain that they did witness something. Meanwhile, a shadowed figure wearing a hat and trenchcoat listens in on their conversation.

The ship docks at Grand Spectrala Island, where Porter bids the gang farewell. At the same time, {{an|Team Rocket}} spies on the twerps aboard their submarine and plan to steal {{AP|Pikachu}} as usual. At a local restaurant, the group asks if anyone's around, only for a big silhouetted figure to walk out from the back. Ash screams that a {{p|Snorlax}} has appeared, but it turns out to be the human owner of the establishment who merely looks like a Snorlax. The gang asks the owner about the [[giant Pokémon]] they saw, but the owner admits that he's never heard of any such Pokémon on the island. He does, however, reveal that a smaller island nearby is rumored to be the home of giant Pokémon. In his hurry, Ash runs down the road supposed to lead to the island, leaving Iris and Cilan in pursuit of him (the latter picks up a local guide and map as he leaves). Sighing, the owner remarks that he wasn't able to finish his explanation; the bridge leading to the island has long since been torn down, and the rumors dated back ten years ago.

At the bridge, the gang is dismayed to find the bridge torn down. Cilan confirms from the guidebook that the smaller island is a protected Pokémon sanctuary, which means Trainers probably don't go there often. Just then, the tide goes out to reveal a strip of land leading to the island. Cilan reads from his guide that the surrounding tides can change dramatically, and Iris is glad that they arrived just in time. While the group runs across the natural bridge, Team Rocket watches them from the water in wetsuits.

Reaching the smaller island, the gang walks into the forest just as a thick fog blankets the island. Iris is worried about the harshly reduced vision, while Cilan is intrigued by the mysteriousness of their location. Pikachu, sensing something, jumps off Ash's shoulder and starts calling out into the forest. This prompts massive footsteps to echo throughout the forest, and to everyone's shock and horror, a giant {{p|Heatmor}} rises from the trees! Heatmor breathes out a massive {{m|Flamethrower}} that sets the forest on fire, causing the local Pokémon to panic. A wild {{p|Foongus}} bumps into [[Iris's Axew]] as it tries to escape, and releases a cloud of {{m|Spore}} at Axew in its agitation, causing him to fall asleep. With Axew out of commission the group is forced to run for their lives, but end up at a cliff's edge instead. Ash has Pikachu attack Heatmor, but Heatmor merely shrugs off all attacks levied at it. Heatmor launches another Flamethrower that nearly throws Pikachu off the cliff, who Ash catches just in time. Before Heatmor can attack again, however, the figure from the ship jumps in front of Ash and company, raising their arms to stop Heatmor's advance. Heatmor stops, and vanishes in a brief cloud of fog, along with the mysterious figure. Cilan wonders if they've imagined everything that's happened since there's no longer any forest fire, but Iris points out that Axew is still asleep. It becomes clear that Axew needs medical attention and fast.

Separately, Jessie and James wonder about the fog, looking for the twerps. They briefly lose sight of Meowth, and seeing a Meowth shadow ahead think it's him, only for the real deal to pipe up below them, having caught up. The Meowth shadow turns out to be a giant {{p|Meowth}} that chases them through the forest, scaring them. At the edge of another cliff, the giant Meowth ends up blasting Team Rocket off the cliffside and into the ocean.

Trying to find their way back to the mainland, Ash's group finds themselves lost. Iris suddenly spots a [[Pokémon Center]] ahead. Ash is confused as to why a desolate island would have a Center in the first place, and Cilan points out that this Center looks extremely run down, but Iris is adamant that they visit. Inside, the Center is as dilapidated as it is on the outside, and the counter is swarmed by a group of wild Pokémon. Startled by the intrusion, they all flee in a panic. Placing the sleeping Axew on the counter, Iris calls for {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}}, who eagerly appears. Iris explains that Axew needs help, and Audino runs off to get [[Nurse Joy]]. Nurse Joy appears, and after inspecting Axew says she'll prepare some medicine for Axew, before returning to the back room. Audino reappears with a mortar and pestle, confusing the gang who were expecting Nurse Joy. At this, Audino panics a little, running back so Nurse Joy can reappear, who merely confirms that she'll be preparing the medicine before retreating. Audino appears with a bunch of Berries in its arms, but is startled by the gang again and runs back, leaving Nurse Joy to reappear with the Berries in ''her'' arms instead. Nurse Joy tries to reassure Iris, but goofs up a little and speaks in Audino's voice instead! This prompts Ash to ask where Audino is, leading to a chain of disappearing and reappearing of Audino and Nurse Joy, who don't seem to be able to both show up together in one place. Eventually, Nurse Joy tiredly says that Audino is busy handling other duties in the back, and she'll be making Axew's medicine. As she grinds up a [[Chesto Berry]] and [[Sitrus Berry]] with some [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]], Cilan notes how old-fashioned the medicine seems to be. Shortly afterwards, Nurse Joy finishes the medicine which Iris feeds to Axew, waking him up and re-energizing him. Ash and Cilan admit that they were initially concerned that Nurse Joy didn't seem to know what she was doing, but are glad that things seem to have worked out in the end.

Just then, the strange person appears at the door of the Center, revealing herself to be an older Nurse Joy tasked with the special duty of investigating established Pokémon Centers. She explains that she'd been receiving reports of a Pokémon Center operating illegally on the island, which is why she was deployed to investigate. Pointing at the other Nurse Joy, she confirms that the "Nurse Joy" is an impostor, and demands an explanation. Silently, the fake Nurse Joy takes on glittering golden aura that nearly blinds everyone, which starts casting an illusion.

In the illusion, the Pokémon Center is good as new, and is staffed by Audino and Nurse Joy. The older Nurse Joy realizes that the Nurse Joy in the illusion was her from over ten years ago, and that they're witnessing an illusion of the past when she used to work on the island. The Nurse Joy in the past carries in a crying {{p|Zorua}} which Cilan notes. Nurse Joy explains that in the past, she found a Zorua that had been injured by a hunter's trap, so she had nursed it back to health before releasing it. Since then Zorua made frequent visits to the Center to help out, finding Berries and even making remedies just like Nurse Joy did. Cilan recalls that Zorua has the {{a|Illusion|ability}} to alter its appearance, and Iris concludes that the impostor Nurse Joy must really be Zorua! Tearfully, Zorua as Nurse Joy asks why Nurse Joy had to leave. Nurse Joy admits that when Trainers stopped visiting the island Center, she was ordered by headquarters to shut the Center down - she had wanted to tell Zorua, but Zorua had stopped coming around for some reason.

The fake Nurse Joy creates another illusory flashback, revealing that close to the time when the Center had shut down, it had been staying in the forest to prepare for its coming evolution into {{p|Zoroark}}. Not long after, it witnessed two [[Pokémon poacher]]s kidnapping a pair of wild {{p|Ducklett}}, enraging it and forcing it to use its giant Heatmor illusion to scare the hunters away. Nurse Joy confirms that when the hunters were arrested, they tried to speak about the giant Heatmor sighting - and all this had taken place ten years ago. Zoroark had used its illusions to protect the island, and also created the gigantic shadow that Ash and the others had seen from the ship after sensing her presence.

Nurse Joy apologizes to Zoroark for not telling it of her departure, but asks Zoroark to cease its operations; illegally operating a Pokémon Center is a serious offense. Zoroark, still in its illusion of Nurse Joy, stands silent and sad. Iris exclaims that Zoroark wasn't playing the part of Nurse Joy as a prank, but was being a fully competent Nurse Joy in its own right, since it healed Axew with its remedy. Cilan guesses that the wild Pokémon they saw earlier must have been in the Pokémon Center to receive medical attention as well. The gang beg Nurse Joy to keep the Pokémon Center open for wild Pokémon instead of closing it. Nurse Joy, realizing that Zoroark merely wants to help out, praises Zoroark for its efforts and agrees to stay with Zoroark to keep the Center available for wild Pokémon. Zoroark lifts its illusion and has a tearful reunion with its friend, while the gang decide to help clean up the old Pokémon Center. By evening, the Pokémon Center is good as new, and Zoroark and Nurse Joy promise to keep everything running smoothly. The next day, Ash and friends leave on the next ferry and wave goodbye to Nurse Joy and Zoroark, as their journey continues.

The Path to Being {{tt|Hotachi|Scalchop}} King!'') is the 126th episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and the 783rd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]].

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
Having lunch aboard the cruise ship while it heads to the next island, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} notice that many of the passengers have {{p|Oshawott}} and {{p|Dewott}}, wondering if it has anything to do with their next destination. Porter passes by, asking them if everything is fine, prompting Ash to ask where the ship is headed. Porter says that [[Scalchop Island]] is their next destination; a [[scalchop]]-shaped island that was supposedly formed by seashells. Porter explains that all the Trainers are going to participate in the [[Scalchop King Competition]]. Right on cue, {{AP|Oshawott}} emerges, expressing its interest in entering.

On the island, the gang marvels at the wide array of scalchop-shaped snacks and patterned merchandise. [[Freddy O'Martian]], dressed in a scalchop costume, declares the opening of the competition as Ash recognizes him. Freddy declares that the winner will be awarded with a solid gold scalchop, which the audience all marvel at. {{an|Iris}} wonders if it's really made of gold while {{an|Cilan}} appraises its shine. Meanwhile, {{an|Team Rocket}} plan to steal the gold scalchop for themselves. {{TR|Meowth}} points out that they need an {{p|Oshawott}} or {{p|Dewott}} to enter in the first place, but [[Jessie]] and [[James]] have other plans that worry Meowth. Freddy also declares that winning Oshawott or Dewott will also reign alongside the island's queen, "Osharina", who walks onstage with a royal crown and cape. Oshawott instantly falls in love with her, running to the front of the stage to woo Osharina with a bouquet, but is rudely denied. Oshawott tries again, but is smacked down by a Dewott wearing an orange bandanna. Ash runs to recover Oshawott, demanding an explanation. The Dewott's Trainer, [[Cadbury]], snidely notes that Oshawott deserved it for disrupting the proceedings, and declares his Dewott, Caesar, to be the only one worthy of becoming the Scalchop King, as he has been raised precisely for the role. Ash and Cadbury trade barbs as Oshawott and Caesar glare at each other, ready to settle the score during the competition. Freddy proceeds to introduce the island's [[Don George]] and [[Nurse Joy]] as judges, who've also dressed for the part, as well as Osharina sitting on her throne.

The first round involves all the participants exhibiting their scalchops to be rated on appearance. An Oshawott and Dewott present their scalchops to good reviews from the judges. Iris dryly remarks that she can't tell one scalchop from another and Cilan admits that he doesn't have what it takes to be a "Scalchop Connoisseur". Ash's Oshawott presents his, and the crowd gasps for a moment before erupting into applause. Caesar's turn follows, and Cadbury smugly notes that the audience's reaction was much more favorable, leaving Ash to retort that the competition isn't over. Meanwhile, Jessie and James have dressed Meowth as a Dewott, and gave him a bag with two "custom-made" scalchops. Meowth's turn arrives, and he pulls the two scalchops from the bag, fearful of what might happen if everyone realizes the massive size discrepancy. However, no one seems to catch on, instead cheering loudly for Meowth, and the judges praise Meowth's large scalchops, making Meowth more confident.

The second round has participants fling their scalchops at a target. Ash's Oshawott throws his scalchop and barely misses the target, scarcely hitting the target on its edge. Caesar flings both of its scalchops, landing one of them close to the center and prompting Cadbury to gloat at Ash again. Meowth throws his, but ends up missing completely, to which James activates a remote control. Sure enough, Meowth's "scalchop" spins around like a boomerang and lands in the center of the target, inflicting a deep gash. To the viewers, James explains that the custom-made scalchops are equipped with directional thrusters.

The third round is called the "Brick Break" event, shocking Ash as he knows Oshawott can't use {{m|Brick Break}}. Freddy states that he doesn't mean the actual attack, but refers to breaking a stack of twenty tiles with scalchops. He also states that only the top three competitors will be moving on. Up first, Caesar easily breaks through eleven tiles. Meowth goes up next, worried that he can't break any of the bricks, but James reveals to the viewers again that he made Meowth's scalchops out of strong plastic composites. Leaping into the air, Meowth dives onto his stack of tiles headfirst, and ends up breaking through the entire stack to massive applause but with his charm nearly poking through his costume, having shielded his fall. Ash's Oshawott is up last, and after some encouragement Oshawott manages to break through eleven tiles as well, qualifying him for the next round.

The fourth round has participants put up a performance involving their scalchops. Cadbury orders an {{m|Aqua Jet}}, where Caesar jets around in a circle formation to create a rainbow, impressing everyone. Ash has Oshawott do the same thing, but as he spins in mid-air he catches sight of Osharina, causing him to crash into Ash in his infatuation. This earns him the judges' disapproval. For Meowth, "Jesty" and "Jacen" set up a big trampoline and order Meowth to use {{m|Swords Dance}}, in which Meowth merely flails his scalchops around wildly while bouncing. Everyone seems to enjoy the performance, but as Meowth lands the bits of his costume fall off and the blue body paints fades away, having been disturbed by the bouncing. Everyone is shocked to find an impostor in the competition. Freddy demands an explanation, prompting Team Rocket to recite the motto. Ash and friends are angry at Team Rocket who insist they're not after {{AP|Pikachu}}, but the golden scalchop. Pikachu launches a {{m|Thunderbolt}} which Meowth blocks with the custom scalchops; James explains to the viewers that they were also built with high defensive strength. However, after Pikachu's attack the scalchops fizzle with the accumulated electricity and explode, sending Team Rocket blasting off.

With only two competitors remaining, the final round commences with a battle in a pool and pontoon arena. Ash and Cadbury trade more insults as the round begins with Iris and Cilan cheering Ash on. Cadbury orders Aqua Jet and {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and Ash responds in kind, but both times Ash's Oshawott is overpowered. Cadbury declares that since Oshawott is Dewott's pre-evolved form, Caesar has more power and is clearly superior, but Ash disagrees. Cadbury orders a {{m|Surf}} from Caesar, who creates a massive wave from the pool, but Ash counters with Aqua Jet which causes Oshawott to lunge at Caesar, breaking the wave. As both Pokémon land, Caesar challenges Ash to a duel using only scalchops, since the competition is all about the scalchops. Ash refuses to back down and agrees. Both Trainers order {{m|Razor Shell}}, but Oshawott loses out both times. Cadbury orders a double Razor Shell and Aqua Jet combo, prompting Caesar to use Aqua Jet into the air while both its scalchops have Razor Shell active. Encouraging Oshawott, Ash orders the same combination, and Oshawott recovers in time to use his attacks, placing his scalchop in front of his Aqua Jet, sharply increasing its power like a torpedo. Both sea otter Pokémon clash for the final time and are flung back, heavily damaged and struggle to get up. Caesar is first to rise, but quickly keels over, defeated! Cadbury is horrified as Ash's Oshawott is declared the winner.

In the following ceremony, Don George awards Oshawott with the golden scalchop which Oshawott happily accepts. Freddy says that Oshawott will now rule over Scalchop Island alongside Osharina. Catching this, Ash asks Freddy what this entails; Freddy reveals that Oshawott will stay on the island as King until the next Competition, which will take place exactly one year later! Ash is shocked at this, and Cilan confirms that the rules mean that the winner must stay on the island. Iris blanches, worried that Ash will have to leave Oshawott behind. Ash tries talking to Oshawott about this dilemma, but Oshawott is quickly distracted as Osharina walks towards him. Ash realizes that Oshawott is in love with Osharina and wants to stay behind, recalling the various times he trained and fought with Oshawott as Trainer and Pokémon. Ash struggles to say goodbye, but Freddy shouts at Osharina, asking where she's going. To everyone's surprise Osharina leaps off the stage, running happily into Caesar's waiting arms! Cadbury sheepishly states that both Caesar and Osharina must have been in love with each other all along. Oshawott is devastated by this, to the point that his scalchop falls off and snaps in two! Noticing this, Freddy declares that the rules disqualify all participants whose scalchops end up breaking, meaning that Cadbury and Caesar have won the competition. As everyone cheers for Caesar, Oshawott lies on the stage, still stunned by the loss.

That evening as the ship sails away from Scalchop Island, everyone consoles a sad Oshawott who had to have his scalchop bandaged. Ash says that at least the both of them will continue to travel together, while Cilan and Iris say that Oshawott will definitely recover and bounce back. Sure enough, Oshawott catches sight of a passing {{p|Cinccino}} and chases after her in admiration. Everyone comments on Oshawott's quick recovery as the episode ends.

==Synopsis==
{{incomplete synopsis}}
Following their previous adventure, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} board another cruise ship through the [[Decolore Islands]]. As everyone notes that they have a lot of time to kill before the ship reaches the next island, they are greeted by [[Porter]], which confuses {{an|Iris}} as she believes him to have left with the previous ship that took them to [[Honey Island]]. This Porter explains that the Porter they previously met is his cousin, and Iris figures this is just like the families of [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Officer Jenny]]. Porter then invites them to participate in the [[Marine Cup Tournament]], which allows passengers to battle against each other on the ship's special battle arena. In addition, Porter reveals that after the tournament, [[Mrs. Ripple]]'s gem collection will be on display in the ballroom for public viewing, and gestures to the lady in question some distance away. {{an|Cilan}} seems to recall Mrs. Ripple from somewhere, and Porter explains that Mrs. Ripple is a renowned gem collector from [[Unova]] who has made multiple appearances on television.

Just then, Mrs. Ripple calls out to her {{p|Purrloin}}, and Cilan trembles, as he has an unexplained fear of them. Everyone introduces themselves to Mrs. Ripple, although Cilan remains extremely nervous around Purrloin. Mrs. Ripple explains that Purrloin has been on edge recently since she's been carrying the "Eye of {{p|Liepard}}" around; a very precious jewel. Iris asks if they can see it, and Mrs. Ripple brings everyone to the room where her jewels are kept, guarded by her {{p|Watchog}}. In the middle of the room, Mrs. Ripple opens her briefcase full of various rare gems, introducing the "{{p|Swanna}}'s Tear", "{{p|Lilligant}}'s Bloom", "Star of {{p|Cryogonal}}" and finally, the "Eye of Liepard". Cilan comments that the gem looks exactly like its namesake, and Mrs. Ripple confirms that it's a rare gem native to Unova; her specimen is the largest found of its kind, but Purrloin doesn't seem fond of it. As though making a point, Purrloin sourly leaves the room, leading Cilan to suggest that perhaps Purrloin feels that Mrs. Ripple is more concerned over the gem than over Purrloin. Suddenly, a portly, well-dressed man enters the room, pushing past Watchog; Porter introduces the man as [[Mr. Shaw]]. Mr. Shaw compliments Mrs. Ripple on her "Eye of Liepard", begging her to let him purchase it, only for Mrs. Ripple to put the jewel back in its case. Mrs. Ripple is insistent on publicly displaying her collection and politely declines Mr. Shaw's requests. Nevertheless, Mr. Shaw claims that he will come to possess the "Eye of Liepard", since he's nicknamed the {{p|Carvanha}} of the gem-collecting world. Laughing proudly, he leaves the room as Watchog angrily slams the door in his face. Iris voices her distaste of Mr. Shaw as Porter explains that Mr. Shaw is also a gem collector, but one who keeps his collection private.

Shortly after, the crew announces the commencement of the Marine Cup Tournament. In the first match, Iris goes up against [[Teaque]], sending out {{TP|Iris|Axew}} while Teague sends out {{p|Vanillite}}, unnerving Iris and Axew. Ash cheers them on while Cilan notes that since all the battles are singles, Iris is pinning everything on Axew. Cilan suddenly sees Purrloin run up a flight of stairs, and recoils in fear. Meanwhile, a man in a trenchcoat walks past Mrs. Ripple's Watchog, briefly glancing at it before walking away.

Iris orders a {{m|Scratch}} against Vanillite, to which Teaque responds with {{m|Double Team}}, surprising Axew. Iris commands a {{m|Dragon Rage}} to blast through all the Vanillite clones, but fails to hit the real one. Teaque orders an {{m|Ice Beam}} that freezes Axew in place, knocking him out. Ash is determined to win the tournament for Iris's sake. While his battle plays out on the display screens, Mrs. Ripple approaches Porter saying that Purrloin is missing. As Porter agrees to help find Purrloin, Purrloin has made it to the jewel room through the air vents and leaves the room as soon as it appears.

The tournament proceeds with Ash defeating a {{p|Gurdurr}} and {{p|Eelektrik}} and Teaque defeating an {{p|Amoonguss}}, leaving them as the finalists. To everyone's surprise, Teaque sends out his {{p|Galvantula}}, declaring that he had planned to use it instead of Vanillite if he made it to the finals. Ash is enthralled by the prospect an {{t|Electric}} battle and sends {{AP|Pikachu}} into the fray. While this happens, Porter and Mrs. Ripple decide to see if Purrloin is in the jewel room. Both Teaque and Ash order a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, causing a deadlock between the two as their electric attacks clash. Teaque silently signals to Galvantula, who holds back its Thunderbolt and causes the combined moves to fly towards the ship's electrical systems and shut it down from the blast, causing the lights, cameras and other systems to stop working. While Mrs. Ripple's Watchog notes the lights failing, a {{p|Roselia}} appears in front of it and puts it to sleep with {{m|Sleep Powder}}. Roselia is revealed to belong to Mr. Shaw, who praises his Pokémon before entering Mrs. Ripple's room.

A few moments later, the electrical systems come back on, allowing the tournament to continue. Mrs. Ripple and Porter find Watchog sprawled on the floor before hearing Mr. Shaw's panicked scream, and enter the room. Mr. Shaw exclaims that the "Eye of Liepard" has been stolen, and the news causes Mrs. Ripple to collapse from shock. Purrloin suddenly runs past everyone and out of the room. Back at the battle, Teaque calls for a {{m|Signal Beam}}, but Ash has Pikachu dodge and faint Galvantula with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Ash is declared the winner as Purrloin runs onto the scene, jumping at Teaque and tearing at his face. Ash pulls the furious Purrloin off Teaque, but it is sent flying right into Cilan's arms, who screams in absolute terror.

In the ship's infirmary, Porter informs the gang that the "Eye of Liepard" has indeed been stolen, likely while the tournament was going on. Watchog is depressed, but Mrs. Ripple consoles it that it wasn't to blame. Porter confirms that the crew has began an in-depth investigation to find the thief. Cilan change into his "Detective [[Connoisseur]]" identity, much to Iris's dismay, and suggests that Mr. Shaw be investigated since he's the most likely suspect. In a separate room, the {{dec|Captain}} of the ship interrogates Mr. Shaw, who admits that he did trespass Mrs. Ripple's room but only to take another look at the gem, not steal it. The Captain shows everyone footage from a security camera he had installed in Mrs. Ripple's room at her request, which shows the briefcase before it was opened, followed by Mr. Shaw standing in front of the open case with the gem missing. While the exact moment of theft was not captured due to the earlier power failure, but it's a fact that Mr. Shaw was present when the gem went missing. Panicked, Mr. Shaw claims that the gem was already gone when he opened the case. The Captain nevertheless requests that Mr. Shaw be held in the room while the investigation continues, and apologizes for the inconvenience.

In the jewel displaying room, Iris is adamant that Mr. Shaw is guilty. Porter admits that the crew went through all of Mr. Shaw's belongings but couldn't find the gem. Iris suggests that the gem must be hidden elsewhere, but Cilan proposes that everyone might be jumping to conclusions too quickly; the real culprit could be someone else entirely... except that he still has no clue as to who. Cilan runs things through his head again, but sees Purrloin standing next to him and staring straight at him, sending him into another panic. Angry, Purrloin gestures at Cilan, leading Ash to realize that Purrloin might know something...

Outside Teaque's room, Teaque responds to queries that he has no knowledge of the jewel, and was participating in the tournament during the time of theft. Purrloin growls at him, but Teaque declines further questions and closes the door. Iris recalls how Purrloin attacked Teaque in anger, but Porter confirms Teaque's alibi and states that Teaque could not possibly have stolen the gem. Cilan remembers that the gem had been stolen when the blackout occurred and wonders if the two events are connected. Investigating Mrs. Ripple's room again, Cilan spots a wet spot on the carpet near the briefcase, and pieces everything together.

At the battlefield, everyone has gathered at Cilan's request, including Mrs. Ripple, Mr. Shaw and Teaque. Cilan declares that he will resolve the mystery, beginning with asking everyone for their actions and locations during the time of theft. Mr. Shaw continues protesting his innocence. Asking Purrloin, Cilan reveals that Purrloin was in the room shortly before the gem was stolen, which is confirmed by Porter as he saw Purrloin leave the room. Cilan states that this means Purrloin witnessed the crime take place, which means Purrloin knows who the thief is. Purrloin had entered the room through the air vent before leaving through the door, and after the blackout occurred, another Pokémon had followed it into the room through the same way, and took the gem just before Mr. Shaw discovered that the jewel went missing. Mr. Shaw confirms this, and Cilan asks if Teaque has any idea. Teaque insists that he has nothing to do with the theft, and Cilan reveals that the thief had used a Pokémon's {{t|Water}} or {{t|Ice}}-type move to open the case by forming a key that fit the lock, which caused a pool of water to stain the carpet near the briefcase due to the key melting.

Teaque admits to having a Vanillite, but declares that he was in the tournament during the time and therefore he could not have stolen the gem. Cilan, however, points out that Teaque had used his Galvantula in the fight when the theft took place, and had caused the blackout to occur by having its Thunderbolt shut down the ship's electrical systems. Cilan formally accuses Teaque of entering the tournament to create an alibi while his Vanillite committed the theft under his orders. Everyone else stares at Teaque in shock as Purrloin growls angrily at him, but Teaque simply laughs loudly, admitting to everything. Teaque compliments Cilan for figuring everything out, sending Vanillite out to attack with {{m|Blizzard}}. Handing Teaque the "Eye of Liepard", Vanillite prepares to attack, but the man in the trenchcoat intervenes with his {{p|Growlithe}}, knocking out Vanillite and Teaque. Purrloin removes Teaque's hat, sunglasses and fake facial hair as it retrieves the gem, to everyone's surprise. The man in the trenchcoat reveals Teaque to be a wanted gem thief and a master of disguise, and introduces himself as Special Agent [[Tedesco]]. He had boarded the ship in order to catch Teaque, having heard that he planned to steal the gem.

At the ballroom, Mr. Shaw comments on the passengers' excitement over viewing Mrs. Ripple's collection. He admits that it feels much better for gem collections to be displayed, and apologizes to Mrs. Ripple for trespassing. Upon seeing Cilan and the others, Mr. Shaw thanks Cilan for proving his innocence, though Cilan suggests that Purrloin is the one to thank. Ash notes that Purrloin has gone missing again. Mrs. Ripple and the others find Purrloin walking around outside, who happily jumps into Mrs. Ripple's arms. Ash suggests that Purrloin really cares for its owner, and Cilan agrees, since Purrloin had did all it could to help out.

As the narrator concludes the episode, Ash wonders if the experience has cured Cilan's phobia for Purrloin, but Cilan doubts it. Iris is curious as to why Cilan is petrified of them in the first place, and to a sigh Cilan begins his explanation. The scene cuts to a wide shot of the ship, and the sound of the ship's horn is heard before cutting back to Ash and friends. Ash and Iris are shocked at Cilan's explanation as the camera irises out on Cilan's expression of unease.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} arrive in [[Honey Island]], their first stop in [[Decolore Islands]]. [[Porter]] explains that this island is famed by the honey produced by the {{p|Combee}} here, as well as its various desserts. The group became interested at it, but realized that the ship will soon be leaving. Porter informs them that there will also be another ship arriving and could take them to their next destination.

As Ash and his friends leave the ship, they see Team Rocket disguised as tour guides inviting tourists to partake in a bogus lottery for a chance to win the grand prize. The lottery is rigged by Meowth, where he would assign the lots. After the two elderly couple received a losing ticket from Meowth, Ash decides to give it a try. Meowth hands Ash the winning ticket, making him the winner of the grand prize of 151 desserts. Ash proposes to have the prize shared with his friends, to which Team Rocket agrees.

Jessie and James takes the group to a van with Meowth sneaking inside it. As they drive off, Jessie discusses with them on desserts that they like. Making a short stop along the way, she serves them Honey Soda to cools off while they drinking it. As the group arrives to their destination, they find that dessert factory is nowhere to be found. While looking for the factory, Ash and his friends fall into a trap. Team Rocket proceeds to take off their disguise and recites their motto. Using a mechanical hand, they grab onto Pikachu and attempt to escape with their van. However, Ash manages to stop them from getting away with Oshawott's {{m|Hydro Pump}} and set Pikachu free. They begin their battle, with Jessie and James sending out {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} and {{TP|James|Yamask}} respectively. Ash orders Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} at them, which clashes with Yamask's {{m|Shadow Ball}} and Woobat's {{m|Air Slash}}. Suddenly, a swarm of {{p|Kakuna}} falls down from the trees and evolves into {{p|Beedrill}}. The Beedrill began attacking the group, forcing them to retreat. As the ship is leaving the port, Porter realize that he forgot to inform the group that the island is inhabited by Beedrill.

At the forest, Ash and his friends manages to escape from the angry swarm of Beedrill. However, they realize that Pikachu, Oshawott, and Axew have gone missing. Team Rocket, who also manages to escape from Beedrill, realize that Meowth has disappeared as well. Meanwhile, Meowth becomes tired from running away from Beedrill and soon gets lost. He meets up with Pikachu, Oshawott and Axew, who are also lost. The three Pokémon attempt to attack him, but Meowth manages to convince them that he would help them find a way to reunite with their trainers. He also use Fury Swipes to rip off the apples from the tree to ease their hunger.

Back at Team Rocket, they are on their Meowth Balloon tracking Meowth. After finding them, they decide to capture them while Ash and his group are not here. However, they accidentally bumped into a tree full of Beedrill, which proceeds to attack them. Team Rocket manages to speed up their balloon, but the Beedrill still continue to pursue them. One of the Beedrill punctures their balloon, sending them flying. Still searching for their Pokémon, Ash and his friends see a moving bush. Expecting it to be a Beedrill, an Ursaring pops out instead and attacks them.

Elsewhere, Meowth, Pikachu, and the others stumble upon a river and decide to find away to cross it. Oshawott, being an Water-type, swims across it. This annoys Meowth, Pikachu and Axew. Oshawott is then forced to head back with them. Meowth decided to build a raft with Oshawott pulling it. As they float away, they reach the rapids and start heading toward the rocks. Pikachu and Oshawott manage to dodge them in time using Iron Tail and Hydro Pump, respectively. As they almost reach across it, they are confronted by Remoraid targetting Axew with Water Pump, but Meowth managed to block the attack and got hit instead. Almost falling to the rapids, Pikachu and Oshawott grab him in time and finish crossing the river. Meowth is happy that they worked as a team, confusing Pikachu.

Meanwhile, Ash and Iris send out {{TP|Ash|Charizard}} and {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} to search for their Pokémon. Charizard sense something going on and leads the group along with Dragonite. Arriving at the scene, the group begins arguing and is attacked by Jessie's Woobat. Their attack accidently hits a tree where the Beedrill reside. The Beedrill attack them, forcing them to retreat again.

Elsewhere, Axew stumbles upon a Victreebel and looks inside its mouth. Pikachu and Meowth try to drag him away, but Victreebel wakes up and bites Meowth instead. Pikachu and Axew manages to pull them out, but Meowth was poisoned in the process. The three decided to find a cure for him. After making and giving him the medicine, Meowth recovers and thanks them for the help. Team Rocket, dressed as police officers this time, arrives and offers to take them to the hospital. Oshawott and Axew quickly hop in, but Pikachu wasn't so easily convinced. As Team Rocket attempts to pull him in, Pikachu screams for help and attracts Dragonite's and Charizard's attention. As Ash and his friends arrive on the scene, the three Pokémon are reunited with their Trainers. Charizard exposes Team Rocket, who then take off their disguise to reveal their identities. As the two sides begin their battle, Jessie and James order their Woobat and Yamask to use {{m|Hidden Power}} and Shadow Ball on Pikachu, Axew and Oshawott. Meowth also tries to attack them with Fury Swipes, but couldn't due to having bonded with them. Iris then orders Dragonite to uses {{m|Ice Beam}} to freeze them. After which, Ash orders Charizard to use {{m|Flamethrower}} to blast them off.

Ash and his friends head to the [[Pokémon Center]] to have their Pokémon healed. After arriving, Nurse Joy explains that the mountain have many dangerous Pokémon and notes that it would have been safer to go through the coastline route. After which, Audino informs them that the honey and dessert are ready. Nurse Joy then invites them for while and begins serving them desserts. The episode ends with Ash and his friends feasting on the desserts, with Combee watching them from behind.

'''Porter''' (Japanese: '''パーカー''' ''Parker'') are guides on cruiseships that travel through the [[Decolore Islands]].

==History==
Porter first appeared in ''[[BW123|Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures!]]'' where he was shown to take the tickets of passengers boarding the cruiseship departing the [[Nuvema Town]] harbor. {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} gave their tickets to Porter, but he wasn't able to let them on board, as they didn't have the proper tickets. After Ash and {{ashfr}} got the real tickets that were stolen by {{TRT}}, he welcomed them aboard, and told them that he would accompany them on their travels through the Decolore Islands. He appeared again in [[BW124|the following episode]] as Ash and co. disembarked at [[Honey Island]].

In ''[[BW125|Cilan and the Case of the Purrloin Witness!]]'', Porter encountered Ash and friends yet again. The three were surprised to see Porter on a different cruiseship, albeit in a different uniform. Porter revealed that, like [[Nurse Joy]], [[Officer Jenny]], and [[Don George]], he is part of a family of identical members, the Porter they encountered earlier being his first cousin.

==Trivia==
* Each Porter has a different color on the collars of their jackets and the lining of their shoes.
** The stripes and smokestacks on each cruise ship have the same color scheme as the collars and shoes the Porter working on that cruise have.
* Although they are also part of a family of identical members, unlike Nurse Joy, Officer Jenny and Don George, Porter's Japanese name does not begin with the kana ジ.

'''Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures!''' (Japanese: '''さらばイッシュ！新たなる船出！！''' ''Farewell, {{tt|Isshu|Unova}}! Setting Sail Once Again!!'') is the 123rd episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and the 780th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on April 25, 2013 and in the United States on July 27, 2013.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode opens with {{Ash}} riding on {{p|Reshiram}}, laughing happily. After asking if Reshiram can go faster, he is interrupted by {{an|Iris}} riding on {{p|Zekrom}}. Iris declares that she and Zekrom challenge a confused Ash, so Zekrom uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Ash, knocking him off of Reshiram and sending him plummeting.

Ash wakes up after falling out of bed, revealing that it was a dream. Iris bemoans Ash's sleepiness, and Ash realizes that Pikachu had used Thunderbolt on him, which Iris used to wake Ash up. Ash realizes that they are back in [[Nuvema Town]], staying with [[Professor Juniper]], and Iris tells him to hurry up and get dressed.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} informs {{an|Giovanni}} of their success in stopping [[Team Plasma]], and Giovanni congratulates them, and eventually ends the call. Pleased and excited, [[Jessie]] suggests that they prove themselves worthy of their praise by catching {{AP|Pikachu}} and the other [[twerp]]s' {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which {{MTR}} and [[James]] agree to.

Back at Juniper's lab, Ash tells Juniper about his dream, saying that it was awesome, except the weird ending. Iris, annoyed, states that it was not her fault that he could not wake up. {{an|Cilan}} and Juniper remind Iris that Ash was exhausted, and Juniper then asks Ash what his next plan is. Ash decides to return to [[Kanto]], shocking Iris, who then appears to think about something. Ash explains that he wants to tell {{an|Professor Oak}} about his journey, and Juniper asks Cilan his plan. However, Cilan is interrupted by Iris, who decides to go with Ash, with confirmation from {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, stating that she wants to learn more about Dragon types from other regions. She asks Ash if that is okay, and Ash cheerfully replies that it is. Cilan states that he was hoping to go with Ash as well to continue his journey to be top Pokémon Connoisseur. Juniper asks how they are going to get to Kanto, but Ash is not sure. Juniper suggests that they take a cruise through the [[Decolore Islands]], where several rare Pokémon live. Ash, Iris, and Cilan decide to take the cruise, which Team Rocket overhear, and begin coming up with a plan.

Ash, Pikachu, and {{AP|Oshawott}} tell Professor Oak the plan to return to Kanto by boat. Juniper decides to send Ash's Pokémon from [[Unova]] to Oak. {{AP|Muk}} shows his excitement about Ash returning by tackling Oak, causing Oak to hang up to calm Muk down.

Arriving at the port, Juniper buys Ash, Iris, and Cilan their tickets. Iris sees their ship, and the three are excited by its size. Meowth tells James to initiate their plan, and when Juniper emerges with the tickets, James, disguised as an elderly man, bumps into her, causing her to drop the tickets. He quickly switches the real tickets with three fake ones, and Juniper walks over to give them to the kids. Ash, Cilan, and Iris thank Juniper as she returns to work.

The three heroes head over to their ship, while Cilan reminds Ash that this will be his and Iris's first time in Kanto. Cilan then gives [[Porter]] their tickets, but Porter informs them that their tickets are not for this ship. Bummed, the three try to find their actual ship. Jessie approaches them in disguise and tells them that their tickets are for her ship. Excited, the kids follow Jessie to a smaller, old ship. Jessie informs Meowth that she completed her part of the plan as James gives the heroes a tour of the ship. Jessie explains that they have a Relax-and-refresh-o-matic for their Pokémon, and a playroom for Pikachu and Axew. Ash, Iris, and Cilan give Jessie their [[Poké Ball]]s and send Pikachu and Axew with her, while James leads them to their cabin. Jessie drops Oshawott, who emerges from his Poké Ball and runs off to find Ash.

Ash and Iris complain about how small, old, and uncomfortable their cabin is, but James tells them they are stuck with it. Cilan tells them to relax and that it is really just old-world charm. James reminds them to remain in their cabin until the ship leaves port and leaves, the door locking behind him.

Pikachu, Axew, and Jessie arrive at the playroom, where Jessie puts the Poké Balls in the Relax-and-refresh-o-matic and tells the Pokémon to enjoy their stay. She then leaves, and the door locks behind her.

As Oshawott continues to explore the ship, he finds his way to the bridge, where he overhears Jessie, James, and Meowth discuss their plan. Enraged, he continues to listen.

Iris tells Ash that she is going to check on Axew and the others, but when she tries to leave, she notices that the door is locked tight. Ash and Cilan attempt to help her, but they are also unable to open the door.

Meanwhile, Axew has become bored with the playroom and attempts to return to his trainer, but finds that the playroom's door is locked. Pikachu tries to help him, but to no avail.

Oshawott, finally annoyed when he finds out that Jessie and James plan to leave Ash, Cilan, and Iris floating in the ocean alone, attacks the three Team Rocket members, who try to catch him. He accidentally {{m|Razor Shell}}s the button to unlock the doors, sending Iris flying as she was currently tugging on hers. The three decide to find their Pokémon.

Pikachu and Axew decide to free the Pokémon from the Relax-and-refresh-o-matic before escaping, but are unable to get to the door. Pikachu decides to get Ash to help and runs off, Axew staying behind.

Cilan realizes that they are the only passengers on the ship, and Ash finds Oshawott's Poké Ball. Pikachu arrives to tell them about the others, and after he and Ash hug, he leads them back to the playroom. Cilan frees the Poké Balls, and the gang decide to escape the ship after they find Oshawott.

Meanwhile, Oshawott is about to get caught by Team Rocket, but Ash finds him and distracts the three villains long enough for Oshawott to run over to Ash to be protected. Team Rocket {{motto|introduce themselves}}, shocking and annoying Ash, Iris, and Cilan, who remind them that they helped them earlier. Jessie, James, and Meowth reveal their scheme, but Oshawott had stopped them. Jessie and James send out {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} and {{TP|James|Amoonguss}} while Iris sends out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}}. Cilan warns them not to battle on board, but the others ignore them as Pikachu uses {{m|Iron Tail}}, which Woobat dodges. Amoonguss tries to {{m|Body Slam}} Excadrill, who escapes via {{m|Dig}}. However, this causes the ship to begin flooding. While the heroes escape, Team Rocket have Amoonguss and Woobat plug the hole, which works temporarily—however, they end up being blasted off as the pressure becomes too much for their small Pokémon to hold.

Ash catches an envelope containing their ''real'' tickets, and the group runs off to get on the correct ship, but it is about to leave. Fortunately, Porter delays the ship to allow them to board. The group relaxes, relieved that they are finally on an actual cruise. Porter greets them and introduces himself, thanking them for choosing the ''Decolore Queen''. The narrator finishes off the episode as they leave Unova behind and head to Kanto via the Decolore Islands.

==Major events==

* [[Professor Juniper]] prepares to send the Pokémon she has been keeping for {{Ash}} to [[Professor Oak]].
* {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} leave [[Unova]] for [[Kanto]], via the [[Decolore Islands]].

* This episode marks {{an|Giovanni}}'s first appearance since leaving Unova in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'' 26 episodes earlier.
* The lettering on the magazine Ash reads in the cabin closely resembles the {{wp|English alphabet}}.
* This is the first time the {{TRT}} trio has received credit and praise directly from Giovanni—in this case, for defeating [[Team Plasma]]. Previously, messages of praise were conveyed to them through third parties, such as [[Pierce]], [[Matori]] or other field agents.

===Errors===
* In a shot of the water rising through the ship, {{MTR}}'s ears are colored cream like the rest of his body instead of black.
* When meeting [[Porter]] for the first time, Ash addresses him by his Japanese name, Parker. Closed-captions of the scene call him Porter, meaning that Ash's line was recorded before the change from Parker to Porter was finalized.

'''What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!''' (Japanese: '''レシラム対Ｎ！理想と真実の彼方へ！！''' ''Reshiram VS N! Beyond Truth and Ideals!!'') is the 122nd episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and the 779th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on April 18, 2013, and in the United States on July 20, 2013.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
After a preview of the [[BW121|previous episode]], the Light Stone begins to float, while {{Ash}} pleads to stop. A mysterious fog appears, and various Pokémon attacks are shot to [[Team Plasma]], which releases {{an|N}}. It is then revealed to be [[Anthea and Concordia]], who came to save N. While {{TP|Iris|Axew}} tries to release {{an|Iris}}, N explains that Team Plasma is trying to awake {{p|Reshiram}} and that the tragedy that happened years ago will repeat if successful, and he has to find out why Reshiram is so angry.

Colress is ordered to control Anthea and Concordia's Gardevoir and Gothitelle with the machine and succeed. Reshiram awakens from the Light Stone and Axew releases Iris and Cilan but not Professor Juniper or Looker. Ghetsis orders Reshiram to obey him and Colress immediately uses the machine to gain control of Reshiram for Team Plasma. Ghetsis commands Reshiram to use Fusion Flare and it obeys. Colress thinks that Reshiram's full power hasn't been revealed yet and orders it to use Fusion Flare again.

Cilan sends out his Crustle to free Professor Juniper. Team Rocket gets jealous of Team Plasma and decides to steal the control machine. However, Looker finds them and asks them to help him. They then decide to help stop Team Plasma. Colress aimed the control ray a Ash's Pikachu but Meowth distracts him and uses Fury Swipes on some of Team Plasma's Pokémon. Meowth tells Ash that Team Rocket are helping Looker to destroy Colress's device.

Ash asks Pikachu to stay hidden while he distracts Colress but Pikachu chooses to battle anyway so Ash asks Pikachu to use Quick Attack and dodges the aim of Colress's control machine. Iris and her Axew, Meowth, James and his Yamask, and Jessie and her Woobat help in the battle as well.

Ghetsis orders Reshiram to stop Ash. Ash asks Pikachu to use Electro Ball on the machine but it had already locked onto Pikachu stopping the attack. Pikachu tries to break free of the machine's control and attacks Reshiram in the process. Reshiram uses Pikachu's electricity to try to escape from Team Plasma's control. Ghetsis asks Colress why the machine isn't working and orders him to maximize the control on Pikachu. This fails and Pikachu and Reshiram use Electro Ball and Fusion Flare, respectively, on the machine. Team Plasma lose control of all the wild Pokémon, Pikachu, Reshiram, Gardevoir and Gothitelle. Colress, Ghetsis, and the Team Plasma Grunts are arrested by the international police, and N, Ash, Iris and Cilan part ways.

==Major events==

* Instead of a normal preview, this episode was followed by a trailer of the upcoming ''Decolora Adventure'' saga.

===Errors===
* In the scene when Reshiram is being controlled and everyone is shocked, Looker's eyes are colored black instead of gray.
* During one scene, Concordia's white dress is given the same light blue coloration that her vest has.

===Dub edits===
* The Sinnoh motto music is added in place of the original Unova motto BGM. This is the first time Team Rocket's motto background music is changed in the dub.
* In the Japanese version Jessie cause a case of [[Breaking the fourth wall]] by saying to Team Plasma "but we're the true main characters!"

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{incomplete synopsis}}
While {{Ash}} and {{an|N}} are still underground at the [[White Ruins]], [[Team Plasma]] continues attacking {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and [[Professor Cedric Juniper]]. Iris and Cilan fight back with {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} and {{TP|Cilan|Crustle}} only to have [[Colress]] threaten to control them with his mind control machine. They call back their Pokémon as Team Plasma captures and restrains them. The leader orders the members to get the [[Light Stone]] and N as [[Ghetsis]] is on the way. {{TRT}} continues watching unnoticed.

Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} try digging their way out as N watches not knowing what to do. Ash calls out {{AP|Krookodile}}, {{AP|Charizard}}, {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Pignite}}, and {{AP|Snivy}} to help. The seven continue digging through the dirt while N, moved by everyone working together, goes to help. {{p|Krookodile}} breaks free out of the floor, takes one look at the angry Pokémon surrounding them, and ducks back in as {{p|Charizard}} takes the first step out. Everyone gets out of the hole safely. Team Plasma attack them wanting the Light Stone. Charizard blocks their attacks up until Colress powers up his mind control machine.

Iris calls Ash and tell him to put everyone back in their [[Pokéballs]] which he does except for Pikachu who won't go in his ball. Colress's machine laser hits Pikachu, which makes his eyes become red and he growls viciously as electricity sparks from his cheeks. He attacks everyone with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Ash approaches him and tries to calm him down only to get zapped. He keeps on trying until he passes out. N, overcome with sadness as he watches Pikachu zap Ash, begs Colress to stop. He makes an offer if Colress leaves Pikachu alone, he'll give Team Plasma the Stone and himself. If they refuse, he'll destroy the Light Stone.

Colress turns off the machine reverting Pikachu back to normal. Realizing what he did, Pikachu lays against Ash shamefully until he wakes up. Team Plasma restrains N as Ghetsis arrives. Ghetsis is about to begin the ceremony to resurrect {{p|Reshiram}} and reveals his plans to control Reshiram with the mind control device. As the ceremony begins, our heroes watch in horror.

==Major events==

* [[Team Plasma]] continues their attack on the [[White Ruins]].
* {{an|N}} surrenders the {{DL|Dragon Stones|Light Stone}} to Team Plasma in exchange for [[Colress]] freeing [[Ash's Pikachu]] from his control.
* [[Ghetsis]] arrives and starts the ritual of awakening {{p|Reshiram}}.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{incomplete synopsis}}
The gang arrive at [[White Ruins]] and meet up with [[Professor Cedric Juniper]]. Professor Juniper unearths the [[Light Stone]] and tells the gang that it may be {{p|Reshiram}} in a different form. He tells them that he wants to research the Light Stone and puts it into a metal protective case. {{an|N}} arrives and after hearing Professor Juniper's plans, he gets disgusted and snatches the case away from him. He starts to run off while {{Ash}} gives chase. Ash falls into a small pit in the stone floor. N turns back and tries to help but winds up falling too and lets go of the Light Stone to grab a hold of Ash's hand. The Light Stone falls out of sight in the pit. The two are dangling from part of the floor where it crumbles off and they fall down into the pit with some stones covering the hole as {{an|Cilan}}, {{an|Iris}}, and Professor. Juniper watch in horror.

Ash awakens in a small cave under the Earth with {{AP|Pikachu}} at his side. N appears unharmed and points where the Light Stone has fallen. He and Ash realize there's no way out and decide to wait it out until help arrives. N bonds with Ash and Pikachu while they wait. N tells Ash all about the relationships he seen between people and Pokémon. He tells Ash how he witnessed people treating Pokémon like family and people abandoning their Pokémon leaving them all alone in dark alleys. Ash smiles and tells N that Pokémon are his friends and that he wants to learn more about them.

Meanwhile, [[Team Plasma]] attacks Professor Juniper and the others to try to get N and the Light Stone as {{TRT}} watch in the shadows.

==Major events==

* {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} are escorted to the [[White Ruins]] by [[Cedric Juniper]]'s assistant, who later is revealed to be [[Looker]] undercover.
* Ash and his friends meet up with Cedric Juniper and {{an|N}} again.
* Cedric Juniper finds the {{DL|Dragon Stones|Light Stone}}, but it is taken away by N.
* [[Team Plasma]] begins their operation by attacking the White Ruins.

As they make their way through the Kanto Fair, Ash hears a familiar voice, and sees a video of {{an|Professor Oak}} presenting the three [[starter Pokémon]] of Kanto: {{type|Water}} {{p|Squirtle}}, {{type|Fire}} {{p|Charmander}}, and {{type|Grass}} {{p|Bulbasaur}}. N asks Ash which Pokémon he chose as his starter, to which Iris replies that {{AP|Pikachu}} is Ash's starter. N is confused until Ash explains that he arrived late and all the other Pokémon were already taken, so he wound up with Pikachu, which turned out to be just great. The video presentation ends and a young lady, the [[Kanto Fair Host|Host of the Fair]], then appears on a small stage to present an actual Charmander. A puff of smoke covers the stage, and when it clears, a Charmander reveals itself. The crowd is excited, and Ash scans Charmander with his [[Pokédex]]. The presentation begins with Charmander using {{m|Ember}}, charming the audience. Charmander then begins spinning while still using Ember, producing a shower of beautiful flames, but soon becomes dizzy. It accidentally knocks over and is hit by a lamp and a section of the stage wall. Charmander's tail rises from the rubble, indicating that it's at least somewhat fine.

Charmander is taken to a [[Pokémon Center]], where [[Nurse Joy]] treats it with adhesive bandages. She notices Ash and his friends outside of the room and comes out to tell them that Charmander is going to be all right. The group is relieved.

With Charmander recovering, Ash and his friends sit down to drink. Ash tells how this Charmander reminded him of his own Charmander. Cilan is confused by how he had a Charmander if Pikachu was his starter. Ash admits that that is the truth, but that he also later [[EP011|encountered an abandoned Charmander]]...

''Charmander had been abandoned by [[Damian|its Trainer]], who had left it on a rock promising to return when he had no intention of doing so. Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Misty}} saved Charmander from a downpour and a flock of wild {{p|Spearow}}, its tail flame barely burning. The gang rushed to the Pokémon Center, protecting the tail from the pouring rain. They then waited as Charmander recovered, but it left to return to the rock and wait. A while later, Charmander proved its strength by saving Pikachu from the hands of {{TRT}}, prompting its Trainer to return and want it back since its had learned {{m|Flamethrower}}. Witnessing how selfish its Trainer was, Charmander refused to rejoin him. Instead, it agreed to go with Ash and let itself be captured by him, becoming his fifth Pokémon.''

''Ash and Charmander then went through many experiences together, such as [[EP025|helping Ash catch]] a {{AP|Primeape}}, [[EP032|defeating the Fuchsia Gym]], and [[Snow Way Out!|warming him up during a snowstorm]]. Things changed when Charmander [[EP043|evolved into]] a {{p|Charmeleon}} and [[EP044|started to disobey Ash]], much to his frustration. Ash kept on using Charmeleon, so it soon [[EP046|evolved again]] into a {{AP|Charizard}} in order to battle an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. Despite the evolution, Charizard was still [[obedience|disobedient]], but decided to [[EP059|help Ash defeat the Cinnabar Gym]]. Charizard's attitude did not change, and its [[EP079|disobedience at the Indigo Plateau]] cost Ash his battle in the round of 16 in the [[Pokémon League]].''

Iris wonders how this could have happened. Cilan reminds her how she had the same kind of problems with her {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} and {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}}. N asks Ash if his relationship with Charizard ever improved, and Ash confirms it did when they went to the [[Orange Islands]]...

''Charizard [[EP105|battled against]] a powerful {{p|Poliwrath}} and suffered its first loss since evolving. A powerful {{m|Ice Beam}} encased Charizard {{status|freeze|in ice}} and nearly put out its tail flame, severely weakening it. Ash stayed by Charizard's side all night trying to help it recover. After seeing how unselfishly Ash was taking care of it, Charizard decided that Ash deserves its trust and started obeying him, even defeating Poliwrath in a [[rematch]].''

Iris asks what Charizard is up to now, and Cilan wonders why Charizard isn't still in Ash's [[party|team]], even though it was a powerful ally. Ash explains that when he traveled to the [[Johto]] [[region]], everything changed.

''Ash and Charizard were proud of defeating every opponent they went up against. However, when [[EP134|he and his friends met]] {{jo|Liza}} and found out about the [[Charicific Valley]], where lots of Charizard were training to become stronger, they learned the hard way that there were many tougher opponents out there. Ash's Charizard tried to test its powers with the Charizard in the Valley, but was proven to be seriously underleveled compared to them. Making one of the hardest decisions of his life, Ash decided to leave Charizard at the Valley so that it could train. Since then, Charizard rejoined Ash in several important battles, such as [[EP254|his Gym battle against Clair]], [[EP270|his Silver Conference battle against Gary]], and [[AG136|his Battle Frontier match]] against [[Noland's Articuno]], proving that its training at the Charicific Valley was effective.''

The Kanto Fair Host and her Charmander then appear, apologizing for all the trouble they caused. Ash tells Charmander to be more careful from now on, and the two leave together. Reminiscing has left Ash wanting to see Charizard again, an idea that excites both Iris and Cilan, who wants to see how Ash's relationship with Charizard differs from the one he has with Pikachu. His mind made up, Ash makes a phone call to Professor Oak requesting Charizard's [[Poké Ball]], and Oak tells him that Charizard has already been sent from the Valley to the lab, waiting to be transferred. Oak asks which Pokémon Ash is going to send him for the exchange, which Ash says is {{AP|Unfezant}}. Oak thinks it's a good choice is interested in how she would get along and have super-speed battle races with Ash's other {{AP|Flying|Swellow}} {{AP|types|Staraptor}} at the lab. The exchange is then made, sending Unfezant's Poké Ball to Professor Oak, while Charizard's Poké Ball appears at the Pokémon Center.

Ash joins the others on the outside at the battlefield. Iris and Cilan are eager to see Charizard, so Ash, after taking a deep breath, sends out the Flame Pokémon, who emerges with an earth-shaking roar. Pikachu jumps on Charizard's shoulder, and the others are amazed at the sight of the magnificent Pokémon. As Ash introduces Charizard to his friends, it greets him with its usual Flamethrower scorching. Ash compliments Charizard's Flamethrower, and they do a fist bump. N is impressed by their deep friendship and notes their long history. Ash then calls out his [[Unova]] team to greet Charizard, and Iris does the same. Ash begins introducing his new Pokémon to Charizard, but its eyes quickly focus on Iris's Dragonite, who glares back at it with an equally fiery stare. Noticing the budding rivalry between their Pokémon, Ash challenges Iris and Dragonite to a battle, saying that it'll be the only way to let the two Pokémon to settle their differences without everything getting out of control. Iris accepts the challenge, which excites Cilan.

Iris begins the battle with Dragonite's Flamethrower, which Charizard copies and counters. Charizard then takes flight, but Dragonite follows right on its tail. Iris tells Dragonite to use {{m|ThunderPunch}}, which Ash counters by having Charizard use {{m|Wing Attack}}, effectively blocking Dragonite's attack. Ash then has Charizard use {{m|Slash}}, and Iris counters by having Dragonite use {{m|Dragon Rush}}. The two moves collide in a big explosion, and Iris gets excited from how strong her Dragonite is. Her exultation ends when Charizard emerges from the dust cloud and roars loudly. Ash decides to show the results of Charizard's training by having it to counter a {{type|Dragon}} [[move|attack]] with another, and tells Charizard to use {{m|Dragon Tail}}. Iris tells Dragonite to dodge it, but Charizard quickly catches up and hits the Dragon Pokémon, sending it crashing onto the ground. When the dust clears, Dragonite is seen holding its right arm, clearly hurt. N then calls off the battle, saying that the two Pokémon have already settled their differences, and now have total respect for each other. An impressed Cilan says that it was a good idea to hold this battle. Iris wonders why Dragon Rush wasn't {{DL|Damage modification|super-effective}} to Charizard, since she thought it was a Dragon-type Pokémon. The others are mildly surprised, N even chuckling a bit, and Ash tells Iris that Charizard is not a Dragon type. Iris is shocked and asks how Charizard could be able to use a Dragon-type attack and look so much like a Dragon type. Ash shows her Charizard's Pokédex entry, which clearly states that Charizard is a {{2t|Fire|Flying}}, shocking Iris even more since she had been thinking of catching herself a Charizard too.

As a result of the exhibition match, Ash decides to take Charizard with him on his Unova journey, making both his friends and Charizard happy, and the mighty Pokémon celebrates by firing a Flamethrower into the sky.

==Synopsis==
On their journey to the [[White Ruins]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}—including {{an|N}}—pass through [[Virbank City]]. {{an|Cilan}} hopes that this time they can watch some local films while {{an|Iris}} explains to N that they had visited the city and helped their friend [[Luke]] shoot a film. Suddenly, Ash detects a funny smell in the air, and N points out a rising plume of smoke. Guessing that a fire has broken out, the group rushes to investigate.

Upon arrival, they find a building on fire, and Ash sends out {{AP|Oshawott}} to put out the blaze with {{m|Hydro Pump}}, but a {{p|Watchog}} gets in their way and prevents them from proceeding. Ash scans Watchog on his [[Pokédex]] and wonders why it isn't letting them through. Watchog points out a nearby group of Pokémon and a Trainer. The Trainer orders a {{p|Dewott}} and a pair of {{p|Frillish}} to put out the fire with Hydro Pump, then commands the Frillish to use {{m|Psychic}} and evacuate people left in the building. Using their powers, the Frillish lift out what appear to be two people, but which Iris realizes are actually dummies. The group guesses that the fire is really part of a training exercise, and Watchog nods. The team finishes the job as N silently watches.

Suddenly, Watchog rushes over to the other rescuers and gestures at them, but the Trainer scolds Watchog for leaving its post. Part of the burned building's roof starts to collapse, threatening the whole team. Watchog pushes everyone out of the way in time, saving them from being crushed. Ash rushes over to the Trainer to see if he's okay, who confirms and introduces himself as [[Halsey]]. The group points out that Watchog saved them from harm, and Iris asks if Watchog can predict the future. Cilan explains that Watchog have naturally heightened senses and are rumored to be capable of X-ray vision to see through obstacles and underground. N indicates to a confused Halsey that he heard Watchog's heart, and Iris explains N's ability to Halsey. Halsey formally introduces his team as the Pokémon Harbor Patrol, responsible for performing rescues around the harbor and the [[Virbank Complex]], but Dewott begins angrily arguing with Watchog. Halsey knows that Dewott is mad at Watchog for leaving its post, and while he knows that Watchog meant well, he nonetheless reminds Watchog that its role is to keep a lookout at all times and prevent civilians from entering the danger zone. This upsets Watchog, and N translates that Watchog wants to participate in rescues. Cilan agrees with the notion, remarking that since Watchog is a part of the patrol squad it wants to take a more active role. Iris suggests that Watchog be put through an aptitude test to see if it can perform well enough for rescues, and Halsey relents. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} watches from afar, planning yet again to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}.

Moving onto another part of the training facility, Halsey takes Watchog through a series of tests while Dewott demonstrates. The first test involves lifting a pair of heavy weights, which Dewott accomplishes after a brief struggle. Watchog seems to have more trouble with the weights, but as soon as it uses {{m|Strength}} and gains muscle, it succeeds. The second test involves breaking through a huge block, as the squad needs to get around obstacles in rescues. Dewott slices through the block with its double {{m|Razor Shell}}, and Watchog does the same with {{m|Cut}}. The final test is to put out a small fire, a task Dewott easily accomplishes with a powerful Hydro Pump. Watchog tries putting out its fire with {{m|Sand-Attack}}, but its efforts are far weaker in comparison. Iris and Cilan are less than impressed, but Ash continues cheering Watchog on. Flustered, Watchog tries flapping at the fire with its tail in a last-ditch effort, but this only manages to set its tail on fire, forcing Dewott to extinguish Watchog. Iris is disappointed that Watchog failed its test. Halsey consoles Watchog that Pokémon have different abilities and he feels that Watchog is still best suited for guard duty. He reminds Watchog that guard duty is an equally important role, and everyone encourages Watchog. N, however, is no longer content with watching silently and speaks up. N admits that he does not agree with the idea of tasking Pokémon with rescuing humans as it puts the Pokémon in danger. In defense, Halsey points out that humans rescue Pokémon as well, and rescuing should not discriminate between people or Pokémon. Tension is in the air as the two young men glare at each other, but Halsey receives a distress call: a fire has broken out at the industrial complex, and worse still there are students from the local kindergarten visiting. Halsey informs the others that he has to go, but they convince him to let them tag along and help with evacuation. At the same time, Team Rocket keeps their sights on Pikachu...

At the complex, everyone quickly evacuates the children and their teacher. Halsey confirms from some workers that there are still other workers deeper in the complex. Ash convinces Halsey to leave evacuation to them, allowing Halsey, Dewott and the Frillish to go put out the fire. Wearing gas masks, Halsey and his team (sans Watchog) venture into the building where the fire broke out and discover the source: a burning fuse box. Dewott slices the box open with Razor Shell, allowing the three Pokémon to blast it with Hydro Pump. Meanwhile, Ash and the others guide the escaping workers to the exit, including a disguised Team Rocket. [[James]] tells Ash to go into the complex to rescue other workers, but as soon as Ash's back is turned, Team Rocket captures Pikachu in a capsule. Ash turns around and demands an explanation as Team Rocket reveal themselves and recite their motto. James sends out {{TP|James|Yamask}} and orders a {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, which Ash counters with Oshawott's Hydro Pump. [[Jessie]] retaliates with {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}}'s {{m|Air Slash}}, but Iris has {{TP|Iris|Axew}} use {{m|Dragon Rage}}, which bursts through the Air Slash, hits Team Rocket, and sends the capsule holding Pikachu flying. Oshawott breaks the capsule open with Razor Shell, freeing Pikachu, but Jessie orders a barrage of {{m|Hidden Power}} orbs from Woobat. Pikachu expertly dodges the attacks, but the attack ends up hitting a power generator and setting it on fire. Back in the basement, Halsey succeeds in putting out the fire, but due to the new fire above ground, a fuse trips, causing the fire alarm to sound and the surrounding doors to commence lockdown, shutting Halsey's team inside.

Pikachu tries to attack Team Rocket, but they dodge all his attacks and taunt Ash before flying away using jetpacks. Iris and Cilan say that the fire is starting to get worse and must be put out. Oshawott tries its Hydro Pump, but fails to make significant headway. Ash calls Halsey using the complex's intercom and finds out that he is trapped. Halsey asks Ash and his group to evacuate, but Ash insists on staying to help Halsey. Cilan suggests to Iris that {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} could dig an escape tunnel to Halsey while Ash tries to hold back the fire as best as he can. Iris sends out Excadrill and orders {{m|Dig}}, but Excadrill soon resurfaces. N reveals that Excadrill has hit solid rock that it can't dig through. Everyone is troubled as to how to proceed.

At the entrance, security personnel and Watchog hold back a group of concerned locals, where N approaches Watchog and asks for its help. N brings Watchog back to Excadrill's tunnel, explaining that Watchog can use its senses to detect where it's possible to dig through underground, and N can relay that information to Iris, who can direct Excadrill. The plan is put in motion with Watchog concentrating hard, closing its eyes to hone its senses and pass the information onto N, Iris, and Excadrill. Finally, Excadrill breaks into the passage containing Halsey.

Back at the fire, Ash encourages Oshawott to keep up its efforts, but eventually Oshawott's Hydro Pump peters out as it is exhausted. However, Halsey and his group arrive on the scene, with him ordering not only Hydro Pumps from Dewott and the Frillish, but also a Sand-Attack from Watchog, and in no time the fire is extinguished. Everyone is glad that disaster has been averted, and Halsey thanks N for his quick thinking in relying on Watchog's senses, remarking that perhaps his opinion of Watchog's rescue abilities is wrong. Likewise, N explains that ''his'' opinion has also changed: Watchog isn't rescuing people because it's being forced to, but because it wants to from the bottom of its heart and help both people and Pokémon. Dewott and the Frillish feel the same way, and N concludes that the Harbor Patrol is doing people and Pokémon a great service. With their differences settled, Halsey and N shake hands.

That evening, Halsey bids the gang farewell as they continue their journey towards the White Ruins.

'') is the 114th episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and the 771st episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on February 21, 2013 and in the United States on May 25, 2013.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode begins with two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt|Plasma Grunts}}, [[Schwarz and Weiss]] driving a truck at night when they encounter a roadblock. As they move the barricades out of the way, {{an|N}} sneaks behind the truck and places a small device that unlocks the truck's back door. Upon opening the doors N finds a caged {{p|Braviary}} with an injured wing. He frees it and they attempt to get away. However, the grunts see him and they send out {{p|Seviper}} and {{p|Zangoose}} to stop him with {{m|Bite}} and {{m|Scratch}}, respectively. N manages to block the attacks, saving Braviary, but they fall off the cliff in the process. N and Braviary run away, but Schwarz and Weiss have a tracking device on Braviary's neck that will pinpoint its location.

Meanwhile, {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} are still on their journey to the [[White Ruins]]. Ash and Iris are anxious to get some rest and food. Cilan assures them there's a [[Pokémon Center]] nearby. Suddenly, N and Braviary run out of the forest in front of them and collapse from their injuries. N tells then that Braviary's wing is injured and the group takes them to the nearby Pokémon Center. [[Nurse Joy]] tends to Braviary's injuries and mentions that Braviary will be temporarily unable to fly until they are healed. N thanks her for help and comforts Braviary. Ash scans Braviary with his Pokédex and asks N what happened. N states that Braviary got captured by [[Team Plasma]], in which Ash, Iris and Cilan exclaim that they encountered Team Plasma when they were using EM Waves to control Pokémon. N states that his mission is to liberate all the Pokémon under Team Plasma's control. The group propose to help N, but he tells them that the mission is his alone.

Schwarz and Weiss track Braviary to the Pokémon Center. Ash and his friends are pleased that N deeply cares about Pokémon and that they cannot forgive Team Plasma for capturing Pokémon. Schwarz and Weiss decide to cut the Pokémon Center's power to disarm the security system so they can sneak in and retrieve Braviary. During the blackout, N finally notices Braviary's tracking device. Ash, Iris, and Cilan are curious as to what caused the power outage and Cilan states that the outside lights are still on, so the issue is specific to the Center. N comes in with Braviary to inform them that the power outage was caused by the same Team Plasma members that captured Braviary. Nurse Joy and {{p|Audino}} decide to go check the circuit breakers and Schwarz and Weiss sneak behind her. They enter the room where the Pokémon are resting and use night-vision goggles to find Braviary. They are too late as they see that Braviary's tracking device is moving. They go outside and see N and what appears to see Braviary. They send out Zangoose and Seviper and attack N with {{m|Slash}} and Bite. It is revealed that Braviary wasn't there and that they have been fooled. They turn to N and demand to know where Braviary is, but N runs away, forcing the them to order their Pokémon to chase after him.

Meanwhile, Ash, Iris and Cilan are taking Braviary in the opposite direction. Ash and Cilan recall N telling them that they need to release Braviary somewhere safe. Iris runs ahead and finds the perfect location. However, Braviary refuses to go back as he worried about N. Ash orders and begs it to stop, mentioning that Team Plasma grunts will only capture him again. Ash realizes that Braviary knows that N is in trouble and Braviary dashes off to find N.

N is still running away from Zangoose and Seviper but they find him and the two grunts catch up. Schwarz orders Seviper to use {{m|Screech}} and Weiss orders Slash on N. N proclaims that he will never give up on his mission to save Pokémon and the two grunts order another round of attacks. However, Braviary gets here just in time to save N, along with Ash, Iris, and Cilan. Ash calls on {{AP|Pikachu}} and Iris sends out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} to battle Zangoose and Seviper. Ash apologizes to N that he and Iris are battling but states they have no choice at this point. During the battle, Cilan reminds Ash and Iris to not underestimate their opponents as Seviper and Zangoose are well trained. Excadrill finally beats Seviper with {{m|Focus Blast}} and is recalled because Seviper's Screech has weakened it. Meanwhile, Zangoose and Pikachu collide with two {{m|Iron Tail}} attacks and both Pokémon are struggling to get up. As Zangoose is about to finish Pikachu off with {{m|Mega Punch}}, Ash calls out to Pikachu to get up. Seeing Pikachu is in trouble, Braviary tears off its bandages and intercepts with {{m|Wing Attack}}. N watches the battles with awe. Ash then tells Pikachu to finish Zangoose with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Schwarz and Weiss retreat after their loss and Ash thanks Braviary. Later, Ash, Iris, and Cilan watch on as Braviary is released back to the wild. N tells it that this is where it was meant to be and that it won't need to worry about Team Plasma again.

Upon seeing N's injuries, the group takes him back to the Pokémon Center so Nurse Joy can treat him. N mentions that he will be going a bit past [[Driftveil City]] and they invite him to travel with them. N mentions that despite all that happened, he is still against Pokémon battles. However, he confesses that after seeing them battle, it made him experience feelings that he never felt before. So N decides that it will be an honor to travel together with the group for a while.

'''The Light of Floccesy Ranch!''' (Japanese: '''霧のサンギ牧場！デンリュウのあかり！！''' ''The Foggy {{tt|Sangi|Floccesy}} Ranch! {{tt|Denryu|Ampharos}}'s Light!!'') is the 113th episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and the 770th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on February 14, 2013 and in the United States on May 18, 2013.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are walking along the road, with {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} running ahead. Pikachu then loses sight of Axew and instead runs into a {{p|Mareep}}, in which Axew was hiding in. Ash and his friends catch up to the Pokémon and after wondering if the Mareep is wild, they notice a light coming towards them from the other end, which turns out to be an {{p|Ampharos}}.

Soon after, a girl walks over, calling for Ampharos and Mareep. She introduces herself to be [[Ellie]], and explains that the Mareep and Ampharos are hers. Furthermore, her grandfather owns [[Floccesy Ranch]], where a great number of Mareep live. She brings them to the ranch, where she offers {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} some sandwiches and soup. She also explains to them the problem with Ampharos - it is too timid and the Mareep refuse to follow its orders. Because of its timidness, Ellie is trying to teach Ampharos a new move, {{m|ThunderPunch}} to gain the Mareeps' respect. Ampharos demonstrates its ThunderPunch, although it fails. To help, {{an|Iris}} sends out her {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} to demonstrate ThunderPunch and to coach Ampharos.

While {{TRT}} is watching them from atop a hill, they decide that catching the Mareep would help with their electrical power, and begin their plan to capture all the Mareep along with the Ampharos.

Meanwhile, Dragonite is still teaching Ampharos how to use ThunderPunch. Suddenly, a beam of electricity hits one of the Mareep. The Mareep wakes up and happily follows the beam to its source, which happens to be a machine that Team Rocket created, with a cage on the bottom. The unsuspecting Mareep walks into the cage, which closes behind it.

Ellie suddenly notices that there seems to be something wrong, and she counts the Mareep, realizing that there are only nine as opposed to ten. She and Ampharos panic, until Ash and his friends decide to help Ellie, while Dragonite searches by air. Meanwhile, Team Rocket changes locations and catches another Mareep.

After searching for a while, they meet back up at the ranch, where they discover that no one has found anything. Ellie counts the Mareep again, and discovers that another one has wandered off! They go search again, but suddenly, the fog sets in. Frustrated, they go back to the ranch, where they consult a map of the ranch. As they do, Ellie's grandfather walks by and asks what's wrong, to which Ellie replies that two of the Mareep are missing. Ellie's grandfather then says that Ampharos is not suited to guarding the Mareep and suggests exchanging it in the upcoming Pokémon exchange meeting, but Ellie convinces him to give Ampharos more time. Suddenly, Pikachu and Axew run up and point to something in the woods, which turns out to be Ampharos using its light to search for the Mareep.

Team Rocket shoots their third beam of electricity, however, this one is noticed by Axew, who alerts the rest of the group. As they wonder what it is, they notice the Mareep walking with it, and decide to follow it. They eventually find Team Rocket, who use the electricity from the Mareep they captured to send a lightingbolt towards the group, which overpowered Ampharos's {{m|ThunderShock}}. However, Pikachu intercepted the next bolt and sent back a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which caused an explosion. The explosion separates everyone, giving Team Rocket a chance to escape while sending Ampharos and the three Mareep into a different part of the forest.

After escaping on their hot air balloon, Team Rocket finds the Ampharos and Mareep again, and send out {{TP|James|Amoonguss}} and {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}}, commanding {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Air Slash}}. Ampharos stands in front of the Mareep, protecting them from the attacks. With no choice, Ampharos sends out its SOS signal, alerting Ash, his friends, and Ellie to their location. They run over, as Ash sends out his {{AP|Snivy}} and Dragonite steps in to help. Dragonite and Snivy use {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Leaf Blade}} and both hit Woobat and Amoonguss. In return, Woobat and Amoonguss strike back with Air Slash and Hidden Power. Dragonite blocks the next attacks as Woobat uses {{m|Gust}} on Snivy. Finally, under everyone's encouragement, Ampharos gathers enough energy to use ThunderPunch, which hits Amoonguss and Woobat and sends Team Rocket blasting away.

Later, a Mareep is seen wandering away and Ampharos steps in to stop it from leaving. A disagreement seems close to occurring when another Mareep defends Amparos. The two Mareep then walk back to the rest of the herd. This is seen by everyone else and they mention that Ampharos defending the Mareep from Team Rocket made them respect Ampharos. Ellie mentions that it is all thanks to Dragonite in which we see Dragonite blushing inside it's Poké Ball. Ash and his friends then leave Floccesy Ranch and head of to the White Ruins.

'''"Looker"''' (Japanese: '''ハンサム''' ''Handsome'') is the codename for a character introduced in {{game|Platinum}}. He was first announced in an issue of [[CoroCoro]] as an [[International Police]] officer on assignment investigating [[Team Galactic]] and its plans.

==In the games==
===In Platinum===
[[File:Looker.png‎|thumb|left|The {{player}} first meets Looker.]]
In {{game|Platinum}}, Looker is an important character, encountering the {{player}} multiple times over their journey across [[Sinnoh]]. He speaks with odd grammatical constructs, implying that he is not a native speaker of the {{pkmn|nation}}al language; however, this is not present in the Japanese version. He first meets the player in [[Jubilife City]], giving them the [[Vs. Recorder]], and appears often when Team Galactic is near. His motives are clear: his mission is to stop Team Galactic from causing havoc in the Sinnoh region. He is then met again at the [[Valley Windworks]], right after Team Galactic flee from the area. Disappointed in just missing them, he searches the area for clues, which leads him somehow to the [[Galactic Eterna Building]], where Team Galactic have kidnapped [[Rad Rickshaw]]'s Pokémon. Looker infiltrates the building by disguising himself as a Team Galactic grunt.

The player next encounters Looker at the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], if one decides to look there. If not, then he will appear after the player and {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} battle the Galactic Grunts in front of the [[Galactic Warehouse]]. He leads the player into the warehouse and realize that the inner door is locked. He also finds {{HM|02|Fly}}, leaving the player to take it.

Looker will appear once the player goes to [[Team Galactic HQ]] and talks to the Grunt outside. He will reveal that he has the {{key|IV|Storage Key}} and will tell the player to meet him in the Galactic Warehouse. Once there, he will open the door and go down to investigate.

Inside the headquarters, he will not be seen until the player reaches the meeting room, where he is seen eavesdropping on a gathering of members of Team Galactic. He will tell the player to listen to their meeting with him. When it is over, he will leave again.

Later, he gives the player a {{DL|Flute|Black Flute}} when they are about to go off to the [[Spear Pillar]].

When [[Cyrus]] retreats into the [[Distortion World]], Looker shifts his investigation towards [[Charon]], who has taken control of the team. This is because Looker stumbles upon Charon's notes of his plans back at the [[Team Galactic HQ]]. He is not seen again until after the player defeats the [[Elite Four]], when they journey to [[Stark Mountain]]. Here he is seen in the final stages of his investigation, arresting Charon and ending Team Galactic's reign of terror once and for all.

After this, he can be found in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. He mentions that he wants to spend his remaining time in Sinnoh to teach new moves to his Pokémon.

====Disguises====
Looker is shown to be quite good at disguising himself. His prime disguise is that of a Team Galactic grunt. At Stark Mountain, before he apprehends Charon, he disguises himself as a {{m|Rock Smash|smashable rock}}.

====Pokémon====
Although he does not battle with or against the player at all during the entirety of the game, it is known that he has a {{p|Croagunk}}. He uses it to get the [[Magma Stone]] from Charon at Stark Mountain.

====Quotes====
{{incomplete|section}}
=====[[Jubilife City]] (first visit)=====
:''"WHAAAT?! ...How did you know? How did you unmask me as a member of the International Police?!"''

:''"...Heh. You claim you were only {{ga|Dawn|making}} {{ga|Lucas|conversation}}, do you? But, I know better not to believe that. No, no, no. You recognized right away that I was someone extraordinary. That is why you spoke to me, is it not? Your power of observation is fearsome! Quite admirable, you are! Now that my cover has been blown, let me introduce myself. I am a globe-trotting elite of the International Police. My name... Ah, no. I shall inform you only of my code name. My code name, it is Looker. It is what they all call me. Incidentally, is the saying, 'Don't be a thief!' familiar to you?"''
::'''No''': ''"No? You claim to not know it? How could that be? Perhaps your mama has said it, but you have forgotten it, like usual? Now listen, my friends. It is wrong to take what belongs to others."''

::'''Yes''': ''"Yes, that is correct. Taking what belongs to others is wrong."''

:''"Unfortunately, there are apparently those who do not heed those words. In [[Sinnoh]], in fact, there are [[Team Galactic|criminals]] stealing the Pokémon of others. I have, therefore, been on the lookout for characters arousing my suspicion. Incidentally, you are {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, yes? Perhaps you can make use of this? That [[Vs. Recorder]], it is a nifty device for recording a match. I obtained it because it is quite popular these days. But myself, I do not do Pokémon battling very often. It will be in better hands with you. Also, I have a request. If you were to see me again, I ask that you not talk to me, for I am on duty. ...Actually, yes, yes, you may speak to me. You must. Not because I am lonely, no, no! You must inform me of bad guys! You must inform me of any happenings!"''

=====[[Jubilife City]] (second visit)=====
:''"Ah, yes. I see that you have obtained it, a [[Pal Pad]] for yourself. I myself, a member of the International Police, the fighters of crime around the world, have one also. For it is what one must have to trade with Trainers around the world. Take that Pal Pad to the [[Global Terminal]] for [[Trade|trading]] on an international level! Anyway, there appears to be no one shady in this Jubilife City. I shall therefore take my investigation elsewhere. But, my friend, I suggest you remain vigilant for shady grown-ups!"''

=====[[Valley Windworks]]=====
:''"Ah, yes. It is you, yes. I have heard that the Team Galactic appeared at this power plant I have, therefore, come running. So, the Team Galactic. Where are they? ... You have run them off, you say? You are a Trainer, but...? Very well! I shall go investigate inside! Magnificent! Yes, it is! What you have said, it is all true! Superb! Though you are young, you are a Trainer through and through! Very well! I shall pursue the culprits! I have received tips that the [[Galactic Eterna Building|Team Galactic hideout]] is in [[Eterna City]]. To there, I must be off!"''

=====[[Galactic Eterna Building]]=====
:''"Hello! It is me! Me! Hahaha! I have startled you, yes? I am, after all, an officer of the International Police. It is only natural that I be a master of disguise. ...Incidentally, you are a first-rate Trainer. Of that, I am very aware. I therefore think you will be OK, but I must warn you to be careful anyway. Also, a word of advice. This building, it has two stairs. One of them, a trap it must be. But the crooks of Team Galactic, they do not appear, how shall I say, smart. There should be an easy way to tell the stairs apart!"''

=====[[Veilstone Game Corner]]=====
:''"Ah, it is you, yes. I have decide to use opportunity of being here in Sinnoh. I am therefore trying to teach moves to Pokémon that I have captured. Also, if I have nothing to do, it means the world, it is at peace. ...Ack. My streak is broken."''

=====[[Stark Mountain]]=====
:''"Go, go, go!"'''
:''"Excellent work, CROAGUNK!"''
:''"Pah! Disguising myself as a boulder for stakeout was not easy!"''
:''"Now, old-timer, the International Police cordially requests your cooperation. I am sure you have much to tell us about the new Team Galactic. With Cyrus, Mars, and Jupiter gone, you are all that is left."''
:''"You can tell us all about it. We have plenty of time. Oh, no, no. No resisting arrest. You can't win three-on-one, no? OK, officers, over here, if you will."''
:''"He is an old man. This heat cannot be good for him. Quickly, take him somewhere cool. Yes, the cooler will do!"''
:''"<Player>! And you, [[Buck|unfamiliar boy]]! I wish to say something. First, it is too hot! Let us exit this environment!"''
:''"Whew! The air outside, it is delicious, yes! ...Gweh! Gah! Geff! Bleah! I have inhaled volcanic ash by the lungful! Now, you two. This is what they were after. The Magma Stone. Moving this is said to awaken the Pokémon HEATRAN. The old tales say that its awakening, it will make Stark Mountain erupt. ...But I have moved it. It is here. Will this cause the eruption?!"''
:''"That boy, he has quite the energy, yes? <Player>, I should tell you why I have arrived here. After we parted at Mt. Coronet, I investigated their hideout. I uncovered Charon's plot, which led me to a stakeout of this place. That Charon is now securely within our custody. It is safe to say the Team Galactic is a threat no longer. That being said, it looks like my work here is finally finished."''
:''"I, also, will take my leave. 'The more wonderful the meeting, the sadder the parting.' That is a quote I heard many years ago in a foreign land. Its meaning... I understand it better now. Farewell, <player>, my friend! Long may you cherish Pokémon!"''

===In Black and White===
[[File:Looker BW.png|thumb|Looker meeting {{ga|Hilbert}} in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]
Looker is found in {{game|Black and White|s}}, where he is assigned to capture the [[Seven Sages]] of [[Team Plasma]] after the events at [[N's Castle]].

He first meets the player at their home in [[Nuvema Town]], after the player defeats Team Plasma at N's Castle. He appears disguised as the player's [[mom|mother]], only to realize that he forgot to remove his disguise. He asks for the player's assistance in finding the Seven Sages, and gives the player a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}}.

Looker will appear upon finding each sage to take him into custody. After apprehending the final sage, Looker tells the player that [[N]] was seen in a distant land with a {{t|dragon}} Pokémon.

====Quotes====
=====[[Nuvema Town]]=====
:''"Incredible, really. Amazing, absolutely, meeting these two Pokémon of legend!"''
:''"Oh! I still wear my disguise! Pardon! Or, rather, let me introduce myself."''
:''"I am a globe-trotting elite of the [[International Police]]. My name... Ah, no, I shall inform you of my code name only. My code name, it is Looker. It is how I am called! Behind the scenes in this region of Unova, an organization called Team Plasma conspires... This I have heard, and therefore, to this region I must come, but... Thanks to the Gym Leaders and to you, yes, Team Plasma's castle has fallen. And the members, they have gone upon their separate ways! This is what I hear, most certainly!"''
:''"But, however! However, but... The ones known as the Seven Sages--still they hide themselves in the Unova region."''
:''"And so, in the end, it explains why I must ask this of you, Trainer of amazing skill! Travel the Unova region and search it up and search it down for the Seven Sages! Alder, the Champion of renown, recommended you to my notice. Are you willing to help me?"''
::'''No''': ''"Ah, ah! Yet once more shall I ask! If you please, travel the Unova region and search it low and high for these Seven Sages!"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Excellent! I thank you! Now I feel as if I have perhaps a million people on my side. Permit me to give this into your hands!"''
:''"Yes, correct! It is certainly a Super Rod!"''
:''"I see. It is truly <player>'s mama to ask so! What a magnificent question! I admire it. It is my pleasure to answer. Absolutely nothing!"''
:''"Yes, I shall provide the explanation of this, the Super Rod! First! Face the water and employ the rod! Second! Concentrate your focal point! When it occurs that these Pokémon bite, "!" will indicate. Immediately, reel in! For the rest, <player>, I depend upon you!"''

=====Across Unova=====
* Upon arresting each sage (says one of these at random)
:''"Ah... And now, about Team Plasma... I am an officer of the International Police, and there are so many things you must tell me at once!"''
:''"Regarding Team Plasma... I am an officer of the International Police, and you must satisfy request for certain information!"''
:''"Indeed! I am an officer of the International Police, and I demand to hear all you know about Team Plasma!"''
:''"On the topic of Team Plasma... I am an officer of the International Police, so you would be wise to share all you know."''
:''"Regarding Team Plasma... I am an officer of the International Police, and you must supply the information I request!"''

* When there are still sages remaining (says one of these at random)
:''"Accept my thanks! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. What is it they are thinking, what it may be they are hoping, this is the information I pursue. Until we meet again!"''
:''"Accept my thanks! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. They are thinking--upon what topics? They are hoping--upon what chances? This is of the utmost urgency! At once! On the way!"''
:''"Many thanks! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. What is it they are thinking, what it may be they are hoping, this is the information I have need of. Until we meet again!"''
:''"Thanks many times over! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. The thoughts they are contemplating, the hopes they are anticipating, these--these are what I want to know! Until our next meeting!"''
:''"Truly, I thank you! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. Their innermost thoughts, their uttermost hopes... These I must and shall discover! Once more, a brief farewell!"''

* When the last sage is arrested
:''"Thank you a lot! Eh, <player>... On a topic I must speak to you. Having received such a report, of someone far from here, who has seen a person like N and...a dragon Pokémon. I am on my way to verify the veracity of this information. We will meet again one day!"''

==In the anime==
[[File:Looker anime.png|thumb|left|240px|Looker in the anime]]
Looker made his debut appearance in ''[[DP130|Frozen on Their Tracks]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met Looker while taking a train leading to [[Lake Acuity]], and decided to help him distribute lunch boxes as he has bought too many of them. He decided to investigate the reason behind the signal which caused the train to stop and discovered it was the doing of [[Team Galactic]].

He appeared again in ''[[DP136|Gateway to Ruin!]]'', investigating Team Galactic's activities in [[Mt. Coronet]] while disguised as a {{tc|Galactic Grunt|grunt}} to blend in.

Looker made another appearance in ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', having been captured by Team Galactic and held at the [[Fuego Ironworks]]. In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'' he arrested the Team Galactic members.

[[File:Looker BW anime.png|thumb|right|240px|Looker in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
{{n|Handsome to make a comeback in Best Wishes|Looker was set to make a comeback}} in two [[BW023 (unaired)|unaired]] [[BW024 (unaired)|episodes]] before they were indefinitely {{n|Airing of two-part Rocket-dan VS Plasma-dan episode to be moved|postponed}}. The events of these episodes were later retconned out of canon.

After a long absence, Looker finally appeared again in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]''. He had originally disguised himself as a {{tc|Hiker}}, but revealed his true identity after saving Ash, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} from a group of attacking Pokémon, including {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. He explained that he had come to [[Unova]] in order to investigate the actions of [[Team Plasma]], who were planning to take over the region. After an encounter with several Team Plasma members, including the Plasma Scientist [[Colress]], he left the group to continue his investigation.
[[File:Looker Hiker.png|thumb|left|240px|Looker disguised as a Hiker]]
Looker appered again in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', again investigating actions caused by Team Plasma. Ash and friends encountered him at a city, where a {{p|Haxorus}} was going on a rampage. Looker realized that it must be under the same kind of control as the Pokémon from before, and attempted to use his barrier-creating device to stop Haxorus from being controlled, without any result. He then used an energy indicator to find the source of the energy that controlled Haxorus, eventually pinpointing it into Team Plasma's helicopter. When a missed {{m|Shadow Ball}} from [[Aldith]]'s {{p|Liepard}} hit the machine, it was broken, freeing the controlled Pokémon.
[[File:Looker Badge.png|thumb|240px|Looker's International Police Badge]]
In [[BW120]], he disguised himself as [[Cedric Juniper]]'s assistant and escorted Ash and his friends to the [[White Ruins]]. Later, when Team Plasma attacked in an attempt to find the Light Stone, he unmasked himself and began trying to fight the villains. He also appeared in [[BW121]] and [[BW122]], where he wound up getting caught along with Iris, Cilan, and Cedric Juniper, but they later freed Looker. He then managed to convince Team Rocket into joining the battle. Eventually, when {{p|Reshiram}} was freed from Team Plasma's control, Looker arrested all the Team Plasma members, effectively putting an end to the team's existance.

In the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}, Looker built an alliance with {{TRT}} while trying to take down Team Galactic. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} referred to him as '''Boxed-Lunch Guy''' (Japanese: '''ランチボックスさん''' ''Mr. Lunchbox'') because he gave them boxed lunches while on the Ampharos Train. That simple act left them extremely loyal to him. In the {{series|Best Wishes!}}, this relationship was shown to have carried on, as seen in [[BW122]], where he managed to convince them into joining the final battle against Team Plasma.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Looker Adventures.png|thumb|150px|right|Looker in Pokémon Adventures]]

In Pokémon Adventures, Looker investigates several of the activities caused by various villainous groups. To help him with his investigations, Looker uses many gadgets known as the "International Police Arms". However, many of these gadgets have a tendency to break apart at Looker's expense.

Looker first appears in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} where he interrogates the two scientists hired by [[Team Galactic]] to guard [[Lake Valor]]. Due to them not knowing anything about Team Galactic, the interrogation went nowhere. In the {{chap|Platinum}}, Looker makes his appearance looking for his client. He eventually meets up with his client, {{adv|Platinum|Platinum Berlitz}}, and joins her in her quest to research information on the [[Distortion World]] so that she can rescue her bodyguards. [[Paka and Uji]].

Looker joins Platinum as she goes through the various Battle Facilities and usually helps her when she is having trouble in them. In the Battle Castle, he helps Platinum with her money-managing troubles, which helps her defeat {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach}}. While Platinum goes through the Battle Arcade, Looker goes to help their ally [[Buck]] fight [[Team Galactic]] on [[Stark Mountain]]. When he arrives, he finds out that [[Charon]] had obtained the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Heatran}}, and has been using it to attack Buck. Worried about Looker's safety, Platinum sends her Pokémon to go and help them while she goes through the Battle Factory. They eventually return with Looker and Buck, who were seriously injured and later hospitalized.

After {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and Platinum defeat Charon, a fully recovered Looker appears and arrests Charon. He goes to chase after the other Team Galactic commanders until his superior contacts him and tells him to call the mission off. He is ordered to head to [[Unova]] and investigate the activities of the [[Seven Sages]]. Looker leaves immediately but quickly comes back to give Diamond a {{p|Manaphy|Pokémon Egg}} he received from some {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s in [[Fiore]].

In the {{chap|Black & White}}, Looker appears as a participant in the Unova Pokémon League. Disguised as a man named Handa Samurō (Japanese: '''ハンダサムロウ'''), he battles until he eventually makes it to the top 8. During the quarterfinal match, Looker faces {{adv|Black}} as his opponent. Due to his {{p|Croagunk}} not being a native Unova Pokémon, he has the advantage due to Black not being able to figure out his opponent's type. Eventually, Black manages to figure out Croagunk's type and defeats it. Having been defeated, Looker disappears and goes into hiding.

After taking off his disguise, Looker reveals that he has entered the League to investigate the suspicious participants, as he believes that one of them may be a member of [[Team Plasma]]. When Gray reveals himself to be [[Zinzolin]] of Team Plasma, Looker immediately takes the chance to tie him up and capture him.

Eventually, Croagunk was defeated by Tula's {{m|Electroweb}}.

Croagunk's only known move is {{m|Vacuum Wave}}.}}

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
[[File:Looker DPA.png|thumb|90px|Looker in Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]

In the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga, he and [[Koya]] are on the trail looking for [[Hareta]]'s father, [[Kaisei]]. Like in the games, he is also working for the [[International Police]]. His name in early chapters is ''Hansom'', but he is later identified as Looker.

In the chapter Looker debuted in, he is able to identify Galactic grunts in the crowd before they launched a terrorist attack on the stadium; once the Galactic incident is taken care of, he tries to take Kaisei into custody. Later, he along with several other agents of the International Police have arrived in [[Stark Mountain]] and disguise themselves as rocks in order to capture [[Team Galactic]]. However, the villainous team escapes when an earthquake in Stark Mountain distracted Looker and the others. He stays behind to save Koya. After calming {{p|Heatran}} down by placing the [[Magma Stone]] back to where it belongs, Looker wonders if any members remained during the cave-in, in which Koya responds with no.

Looker then arrives in [[Team Galactic HQ|Team Galactic's headquarters]] in order to continue his search for Team Galactic and has Koya block the entrance in order to prevent anyone from going inside. However, he informs Koya that Charon was too powerful and his whole squad was defeated. Looker defends Koya when he was about to get hit by {{p|Onix}}. After witnessing Charon's strength, Looker tells Koya to retreat the area. Despite that, Koya decides to stop Charon for good in which Looker accepts. Much later, Looker arrived on Stark Mountain after the battle with the [[Creation trio]], awaiting for Charon's arrival in order to arrest him. Following Charon's arrest, Looker notifies him that Team Galactic was disbanded on behalf of Cyrus's orders.

===In the Pocket Monsters DP manga===
[[File:Looker PMDP.png|thumb|left|110px|Looker in Pocket Monsters DP]]

Looker has also appeared in the {{OBP|Pocket Monsters DP|Kosaku Anakubo}} manga. He debuted in [[PMDP38]] where he ran out of the police car after arrival in order to investigate something. Looker was then disturbed by {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}'s antics but after he went up to {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and the gang, they ran off. Looker was right behind them and after he caught up, the group once again zoomed away. Tired of Looker's presence, Clefairy built a fake wall out of paper to hide in but it ripped off rather quickly. The group then swam to the other side to avoid Looker but he too did the same. Following the chase, Looker tries to search for them and finds some footprints leading to a house. He knocks on the door and the door opens by itself. Clefairy runs out in an ice cream costume and he, Red, {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}}, and {{TP|Red|Tyrogue}} get away in a car. Despite that, Looker was able to catch them and informs them that he had something to give and show them all this time.

Looker returned in [[PMDP51]] where he was at the beach with Red and his Pokémon. He noticed that Clefairy looked darker than before and then all of the other Pokémon start to mimic him, clothes-wise. This caused Looker to chase Clefairy and Clefairy chasing the Pokémon who copied Looker. In [[PMDP54]], he goes on a solo mission with Clefairy joining him when [[Team Galactic]] steal a kid's food truck. After spotting the thieves, Looker and Clefairy give chase. When Clefairy putted on his ninja costume temporarily, Looker fell to the floor in amusement. As the truck arrives at the garage which was their stop, Looker was unable to get inside the garage but after seeing the two grunts running off with the food but Clefairy stopped them with his own supplies after tripping on a rock.

In [[PMDP59]], he is on the lookout for Team Galactic and met up with Red and his Pokémon at a casino. Unfortunately, after finding their hiding place, the alarms go off and Looker and Clefairy go to the location. [[Charon]] makes a break for it and Looker is right behind him. Both of them head for Team Galactic's helicopter and climbs the ladder. While on the ladder, they notice Clefairy taking some loot. The helicopter then disappears into the distance.

==Character origin==
* It is possible that Looker's looks, attire, and general persona are derived from {{wp|Koichi Zenigata}}, a fictional detective in {{wp|Monkey Punch}}'s manga series, ''{{wp|Lupin the Third}}''. ''Lupin the Third'' itself was initially released in Japan around the time that many of the highly ranked staff members of Game Freak were young.
* It is speculated that the Looker's attire could be loosely related to the {{wp|Doctor Who}}'s {{wp|Tenth Doctor}}, who was portrayed by {{wp|David Tennant}}.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
In a dark room, a {{p|Galvantula}} is the subject of an experiment by [[Colress]], [[Team Plasma]]'s head scientist. With [[Aldith]] and two other {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s looking on, a device attaches to the Galvantula's glass prison and begins emitting strange energy waves. As a small receiver on Galvantula's head blinks to life, the EleSpider Pokémon begins releasing massive amounts of electricity, its eyes glowing red and its demeanor becoming more violent. Aldith comments that Colress' experiment will soon give Team Plasma the power to conquer Unova, but Colress declares that his only concern is whether or not he can unlock the true strength of Pokemon.

Meanwhile, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive in [[Floccesy Town]], only to be attacked with {{m|SolarBeam}} by a group of wild {{p|Amoonguss}} with the same red eyes as Galvantula. Unable to determine the source of their rage, Ash has {{AP|Pikachu}} subdue the Amoonguss with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. The group brings the unconscious Pokemon to the [[Pokémon Center]], only to find [[Nurse Joy]] already dealing with dozens of similar cases. [[Officer Jenny]] explains that the patients are all casualties of the same incidents: the wild Pokémon living around Floccesy Town have recently started coming down from their mountain home and violently attacking everyone they see. A young man comments that he had seen a suspicious group of people near the old observatory on the mountain, despite it having been closed for years. With Officer Jenny occupied with a rampaging {{p|Bouffalant}}, Ash and his friends decide to investigate themselves. Unbeknownst to them, Team Rocket is eavesdropping on the conversation, deciding to follow the group and wait for a chance to steal Pikachu; additionally, a bearded {{tc|Hiker}} appears to have taken interest in Ash's group.

Back in Colress' lab, the Plasma grunts are astonished by the increase in Galvantula's power and aggression. Aldith explains that the experiment has also left Galvantula under their complete control, but the Pokémon falls unconscious when Colress shuts down his machine. Lamenting that he may have used too much power, the scientist decides to work with his next subject: a {{p|Beartic}}. As he starts up the machine again, Colress explains that he is using EM radio waves to force Pokémon into a state of extreme aggression, increasing the power of their attacks. He boasts that his theories are working flawlessly, Beartic roaring in pain as it falls under his control.

On the path leading up the mountain, Ash's group has stopped for a short rest. While Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} play together and {{an|Iris}} tries to keep {{an|Cilan}}'s mind off of the beautiful landscape and on their investigation, the Hiker seen in the Pokémon Centre arrives to chat with Ash, suggesting that he keep away from the observatory. Before Ash can question further, Pikachu and Axew suddenly turn on their trainers, joined by a group of wild {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. Ash and his friends are saved by the Hiker, who throws a small device that emits an orange energy field to return the Pokémon to normal. As Ash and Iris reunite with their Pokémon, the Hiker explains that his device emits EM waves to counteract the signal that drove the Pokémon to aggression. He also welcomes Ash and Pikachu as old friends, revealing himself to be none other than [[Looker]].

After introducing himself to Iris and Cilan, Looker reveals that he is on the trail of Team Plasma. Learning what little the officer knows about the villains - including their plans to conquer [[Unova]], Ash, Iris, and Cilan offer to help Looker's search. Seeing that the EM waves have stopped for now, Looker agrees, asking them to stay close to him in case the malignant waves start up again. Watching this exchange from a nearby shrub, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] plan to steal Team Plasma's technology for themselves, believing that it will help them catch Pikachu. Their scheming is interrupted by an irate {{TR|Meowth}}, who has been bound with a metal ring to prevent him from attacking his allies when the radio waves activate. James promises to free Meowth shortly, but the talking Scratch Cat Pokémon rages that his bonds are hurting his arms, lamenting that he was "framed".

Within the observatory, the Team Plasma operatives receive a transmission from their leader, [[Ghetsis]]. He asks Colress for a status report on their experiment, remarking that the rampaging wild Pokémon are proving beneficial to Team Plasma's ultimate goals. However, Colress reports that the EM wave generator is still in the testing stage - it will take some time before they can implement it fully. The discussion is interrupted when the security systems detect intruders nearby, prompting Ghetsis to suggest using Colress' "test subjects" against them. Colress agrees wholeheartedly - if only to gather more data on their power increase - but admits that his Pokémon will require some more time to recover from the tests. To this end, Aldith leads the other grunts out of the room, while Ghetsis bids Colress "good hunting".

Outside the observatory, Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Looker are confronted by Aldith's subordinates, who send out a {{p|Golbat}} and a {{p|Magnemite}}. Pikachu and Axew quickly engage the attacking Pokémon, but Aldith soon orders her comrades to retreat into the building. Ash leads his friends in hot pursuit of the grunts, only to come face-to-face with Colress in the latter's experimenting room. After dispelling Looker's belief that he is the leader of Team Plasma, Colress summons his brainwashed Pokémon: Galvantula, Beartic, {{p|Scolipede}}, and {{p|Mienshao}}. Ash and Pikachu's pleas to fight the control go unheeded as the Pokémon attack with their strongest [[moves]], Colress explaining that his machine has driven them to furious aggression against humans while leaving them under Team Plasma's complete control.

Realizing that diplomacy has failed, Ash and Iris order their Pokémon to counter their opponents' attacks, matching the brainwashed Pokémon blow for blow. Aldith and the other two grunts are shocked, but Colress' interest only grows; he comments that Ash and his friends are bringing out incredible strength in their Pokémon. Deciding to test this strength for himself, Colress attaches a receiver to Pikachu's head and activates his machine. Looker attempts to use his disruptor, but the device is no match for Colress' powerful EM wave emitter, leaving Pikachu to fall under Team Plasma's control. The brainwashed Mouse Pokémon quickly launches a vicious attack against its friends, seemingly deaf to Ash's pleas for it to stop. Aldith gloats that Pikachu can no longer hear its [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]] as Colress turns up his machine's power, but Ash continues begging Pikachu to fight the control. As he screams Pikachu's name, the {{type|Electric}} Pokémon struggles for a moment before overloading Colress' receiver, freeing itself from his influence.

Colress is delighted by Pikachu's resilience, but Aldith tells him that they have no time to analyze it. Before she can have their other Pokémon attack again, a small device lands on Colress' control panel and begins hacking his machine's systems. Colress' attempts to save his mainframe are in vain; his console explodes, the wild Pokémon are freed, and Team Rocket retrieves their spy camera before reciting their motto. Sneering that Team Plasma is too incompetent to rule Unova, Jessie, James, and Meowth promise to use Colress' research for their own ends before making their escape. Despite this, Colress declares that they have all the data they need to continue their work elsewhere, prompting Aldith to lead them in a retreat. Looker tries to follow the criminals, but they activate a hidden self-destruct mechanism, forcing the group to evacuate the Pokémon and take cover. As the observatory explodes, Team Plasma escapes in a helicopter, shooting down Team Rocket's balloon on their way out.

Looker is disappointed that Team Plasma managed to escape and destroy all evidence of their activities, but nonetheless reports his findings to Officer Jenny. After Nurse Joy begins tending to the remaining wild Pokémon affected by Colress' device, Ash and his friends meet Looker outside the Pokémon Center. Declaring that he can always count on Ash and Pikachu, the officer leaves to continue his hunt for Team Plasma, leaving Ash's group to resume their trek towards the [[White Ruins]].

* This is the first time since ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', over a hundred episodes ago, when {{TRT}} yells, "We're blasting off again!" during their [[Team Rocket mottos#Blasting off|blastoff]].

===Errors===
* In the Pokémon Center, Looker's walking stick had a hand strap on it. When Looker first talked to Ash in the mountains, this strap was missing.
* When Iris and Cilan run into the observatory with the others, part of Iris's hair and part of Cilan's head disappear behind a wall. This happens again when Iris runs out of the end of the hallway a few seconds later.

'''There's a New Gym Leader in Town!''' (Japanese: '''新ジムリーダー・チェレン！''' ''The New Gym Leader - Cheren!'') is the 111th episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and the 768th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on January 31, 2013 and in the United States on May 4, 2013.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode opens up with the cruise ship entering [[Aspertia City]]. {{Ash}} and the rest of the group excitedly get off the ship, glad to be back on land once more. Ash suggests they go over to the [[Aspertia Gym|gym]] for a battle, but when {{an|Cilan}} attempts to locate it on his map, he finds it is not listed. Determined to find it, Ash goes off to ask the locals where the gym is. When they arrive where they said the gym would be, the group is doubtful because it looks to be a school. Ash and {{an|Iris}} begin arguing about Ash's directions but a teacher stops them when he says the school also functions as a gym.

As the teacher escorts the group through the school, he begins to explain that the school is designed to prepare aspiring young trainers for their journeys. The gym was established to further prepare these trainers for their journeys. Cilan empathizes with the teacher because of his experience as a [[Gym Leader]] and the duties the job entails.

The group then sees [[Cheren]] the gym leader talking with a group of students. He comes over and introduces himself, revealing he has only been the gym leader for a short time. Ash asks for a battle, but Cheren apologizes, explaining they can't because the battle field hasn't been built yet, meaning the gym is not officially open yet. This explains why Cilan was unable to find the gym on his map. Ash is devastated, so the teacher comes up with the idea of an exhibition match, although Cheren appears apprehensive at first.

While waiting for class to end, Cheren offers them a tour of the school. During the tour, Iris asks if Cheren even wants to duel. The teacher replies Cheren is new and tends to overthink his actions. On the tour, the group walks through a library, although Iris laments she'd rather be outside. Cheren explains they also have outdoor field projects, much to Iris's delight. As they continue their tour, {{TP|Iris|Axew}} wanders into a room filled with electrical equipment and starts to play with it. {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}} tries to convince Axew to stop and go back to Iris, but Axew is having too much fun to listen. As Axew starts running across the control panel, turning things on in the process, Pikachu gets in his way and they fall. In the process, the intercom is turned on to full blast, scaring people and Pokémon alike. Ash and Iris both apologize for their Pokémon's actions and Cheren quickly forgives them.

All of a sudden, a group of the school's {{p|Minccino}} are seen running through the school because they were scared by the intercom. Cheren doesn't know how the Minccino could have escaped, but fears other Pokémon may have escaped as well. As Cheren and the group run off, two schoolchildren are seen ducking into the classroom in fear. Arriving at the Pokémon house, Cheren is dismayed to find out all the Pokémon are missing. Cheren and the group agree to split up to locate all the Pokemon.

Ash is seen looking in the school's garden. In the sunflowers, a {{p|Sunflora}} can be seen camouflaging itself. Ash walks by at first but suspects a Pokémon could be in the vegetation. He pulls out his Pokédex to be sure and it reveals that Sunflora is hiding in the flowers. Having been found out, the Sunflora starts running away. The lone Sunflora leads Ash to a whole group of them which all start to run off as well.

At the pool, Cilan is attempting to coax a flock of {{p|Ducklett}} to come back to the Pokémon house. They ignore him at first. Cilan plods on and tries to reason with them. A lone Ducklett swims up to Cilan, apparently listening to him, but blasts him in the face with a {{m|Water Gun}} instead. Cilan gets angry and calls out his {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} to round up the Ducklett, but Pansage just falls into the water and is attacked by the Ducklett

Iris is seen in the kitchen searching for some of the lost Pokémon. She initially believes no Pokémon are in the kitchen. However, she hears a pot fall in the back and goes to investigate. There, she finds the same group of Minccino as before. The Minccino seem to think it's all a game and evade all of Iris's attempts to catch them.

Eventually, the group manages to herd most of the Pokémon back into the Pokémon house. However, Cheren is dismayed to find one Pokémon is still missing: a {{p|Shinx}}. Running through the school, Ash spots the missing Pokémon cornered by two students and seems very scared. Shinx lets off a {{m|Discharge}} at the students, but Cheren manages to get them away before they are hurt. Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to deflect the attack. Cheren picks up Shinx, only to have it attack Cheren with another electric attack. Cheren keeps calm and assures Shinx everything is going to be alright. Finally, Shinx calms down. Cheren talks with the two students as to why they approached Shinx, and the students reveal they let the Pokémon out when they were trying to have a Pokémon battle with them. When the intercom went off, the Pokémon ran out the open door. Cheren forgives them and assures them they will be great Pokémon trainers one day.

The exhibition battle begins with the students watching in excitement. Cheren calls out his {{p|Herdier}}. As Ash is about to choose his Pokémon, {{TP|Ash|Oshawott}} comes out of its Pokéball ready to battle. Ash decides to stick with Oshawott and the battle begins. Ash starts off with a {{m|Hydro Pump}}, but Herdier expertly dodges the attack. Oshawott follows up with a {{m|Tackle}}, but Herdier responds with {{m|Take Down}}. When the two attacks collide, Herdier's Take Down appears to have had the upper hand and Oshawott is dazed. Herdier then attacks with {{m|Thunder Fang}}, but Oshawott manages to deflect the attack with a quick {{m|Razor Shell}}. Herdier attacks with Thunder Fang again. Oshawott prepares to block it again with Razor Shell, but Herdier jumps behind Oshawott and kicks Oshawott's [[scalchop]] away, causing Oshawott to chase after it. Herdier then appear behind Oshawott and knocks it out with a third Thunder Fang and Cheren wins the battle. Ash and Cheren congratulate each other. Cheren still seems unsure of himself, but when Cilan points out how motivated the battle made the schoolchildren, Cheren realizes he needs to remain more confident in his actions.

==Major events==

* {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} arrive in [[Aspertia City]] and meet [[Cheren]], the {{gy|Aspertia}} [[Gym Leader]].
* Ash has an unofficial battle with Cheren and loses.

'''The Name's N!''' (Japanese: '''トモダチ…その名はＮ！''' ''A Friend...His Name is N!'') is the 110th episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and the 767th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on January 24, 2013 and in the United States on April 27, 2013.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode starts with a man investigating the ruins of an abandoned laboratory. Finding an intact terminal, he tries rewiring it and manages to get it to power up, revealing a diagram of a {{p|Genesect}}, but the terminal quickly breaks again and the diagram disappears, leaving the man to wonder what it all means.

Next, {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} are on the ship to [[Castelia City]]. Cilan points out the [[P2 Laboratory]] up ahead. As they arrive at port, the same man from the lab watches Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} play from the ground. Ash and friends notice him as well, but when they look away and back, he is gone. {{TRT}} is also watching the group from a distance, planning their next attempt to capture Pikachu.

As the ship leaves port, Iris points out that there is a battlefield on board, Ash and friends go check it out. Ash asks Iris to battle him so he can get ready for his upcoming gym battle at the [[Aspertia Gym]]. Iris accepts and the two get ready for battle. Before they can begin their battle, Pikachu senses someone and Ash and {{ashfr}} turn to see who it is. They see that it is the same man who was watching them at the port. The man walks up to Pikachu and remarks its cuteness. Ash wonders why he was staring at them before, and then he says he heard a friend's voice. He says he considers all Pokémon to be his friends. He tells Ash he hears Pikachu's voice saying how much it cares about him. He says that he finds it rare that people and Pokémon can form such a strong bond. Cilan remains skeptical to the man's claims that he can literally hear a Pokémon's inner voice. The man concedes that he may have just convinced himself that he can. Cilan thinks it doesn't sit quite right. The man replies that it doesn't really matter and that what matters is that a Pokémon and its trainer come together as one.

Ash and friends introduce themselves to him as he introduces himself as {{an|N}} and is always happy to meet new friends. N asks where they are headed and Ash replies that they are heading to some [[White Ruins|ancient ruins]] that have something to do with {{p|Reshiram}}. N is shocked when he hears the Pokémon's and he has a flashback about his previous encounter with Reshiram and its desire to burn down the whole world. Ash asks what's wrong with him, but N replies it's nothing. He says that Reshiram is great but lies that he hasn't met it, but when he does, he would consider himself lucky. Cilan brings up how Ash met {{p|Zekrom}}, and N is shocked by this as well, and would appreciate it if Ash would tell him about it.

Inside, Ash recounts about his and Pikachu's encounter with Zekrom on the first day the two arrived in the Unova region and Ash has a flashback of the experience. N then asks Ash if he has heard about the Legend of the Hero, that when the hero turns darkness to light and his heart becomes one with Pokémon, Zekrom will descend and lend the hero its power. N also says there is a similar legend, but it is Reshiram who will descend and lend the hero its power. When asked why he is so interested in the two Dragon Pokémon, N says it is all part of his goal to unlock the many mysteries surrounding Pokémon like their existence and their feelings.

When N sees that he has gotten a bit carried away, he asks Ash what his dreams are. Ash enthusiastically replies he wants to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. This shocks N because he doesn't like Pokémon battles, viewing them as forced fights between friends. He then leaves the group and goes outside.

Before their battle, the group decides to eat first. Outside the dining area, Team Rocket hears the group's plan for a battle and decides to strike when they are distracted.

Outside, the battle starts with Iris choosing {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} and Ash choosing {{AP|Boldore}}. Ash attacks first with {{m|Rock Smash}}, but Excadrill intercepts with {{m|Metal Claw}} and the attacks cancel out. Next, Boldore's {{m|Flash Cannon}} and Excadrill's {{m|Focus Blast}} collide and explode. As the battle goes on, a berry flies through the air and hits {{TP|Iris|Axew}} who excitedly eats it. Another berry rolls by him, causing him to notice a trail of berries leading away from the field. Not suspecting a thing, Axew follows the trail and gathers the berries. Pikachu eventually notices Axew has wandered off and follows him to bring him back. When Pikachu finds and approaches Axew, he steps on Team Rocket's containment field and becomes trapped. Pikachu tries to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to escape, but it's no good.

Axew then screams and gets Iris's attention, causing the group to notice the two Pokémon are missing. Running toward Axew's cries, the group finds Team Rocket in the process of abducting Pikachu. They recite their {{motto}} before jumping into their balloon and beginning their escape. Not giving up, Ash sends out {{AP|Snivy}} and has her use {{m|Vine Whip}} to grab the balloon. {{an|James}} sends out {{TP|James|Amoonguss}} who uses {{m|Body Slam}} on Snivy to get free, but Ash blocks the attack with his body. {{an|Jessie}} then calls out her {{TP|Jessie|Frillish}} and has it use {{m|Shadow Ball}} on Snivy and Axew, but N jumps in front of the attack and shields the two Pokémon.

As the smoke clears, N is shown to be fine. He turns around and tells Team Rocket it is because of people like them that the Pokémon world remains imperfect. {{MTR}} can't hear and tells N to speak up. N is shocked to hear the Pokémon speak like a human. Thanking N, Ash returned Snivy and calls out {{AP|Unfezant}}. Frillish tries to drive Unfezant away with {{m|BubbleBeam}}, but she dodges the attack and uses {{m|Aerial Ace}} on Pikachu's containment field, freeing him. Pikachu jumps down toward Ash when Frillish uses Shadow Ball on him. However, Axew uses {{m|Dragon Rage}} to stop the attack. Turning around, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on the balloon, shocking Team Rocket, but not before Amoonguss's {{m|Stun Spore}} hits and sickens Pikachu. Unfezant then uses {{m|Air Cutter}} to send Team Rocket blasting off.

Ash is concerned for Pikachu because it is very sick from Amoonguss's Stun Spore. N has Ash come with him to the bow of the ship while he stands there with his eyes. Eventually, N senses some Pokémon nearby and asks them for their help. Two {{p|Alomomola}} jump out of the water and use {{m|Refresh}} to heal Pikachu. N then give Pikachu an [[Oran Berry]] so Pikachu can recover its strength. Ash thanks N for his assistance.

Just then, a woman's voice on the intercom informs the passengers the ship will be arriving in [[Castelia City]] shortly. Before he leaves, N tells Ash that although they have different viewpoints, they can still get along and be friends. Saying farewell, N tells Ash he is sure they will see each other again. As the ship is leaving, N says to himself he knows there must have been a reason Zekrom appeared to Ash and changed his life like Reshiram did for him.

* [[Professor Oak's lecture|Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]]: A preview for [[BW113]].
** During the Live Caster, Professor Oak asked viewers which move Alomomola used in order to heal Pikachu's paralysis. Viewers could call one of three {{img|Trphonenumbers.png|phone numbers}} to choose between the options: {{m|Refresh}}, {{m|Aqua Ring}} and {{m|Heal Pulse}}.
*The English dub plays a new version of ''[[It's Always You and Me#Version_2_.28BW110_-_Present.29|It's Always You and Me]]'', with footage from ''[[Be an Arrow!|Be an Arrow! 2013]]''.
*The English dub adds new words to the first lines of the Team Rocket Motto. Jessie adds "You know the drill" and James adds "You'll get your fill".
===Errors===
*When the camera pans away from the group to {{an|N}} on the battlefield of the ship, the black tips on {{AP|Pikachu}}'s ears are missing.
*After being hit by {{TP|James|Amoonguss}}'s {{m|Stun Spore}}, Pikachu was portrayed as being {{status|Poison|poisoned}} instead of being {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}}.
**Professor Oak also stated Pikachu was poisoned by Stun Spore during the Live Caster.

* The full version of ''[[Be an Arrow!]]'' was played during the flashback scenes close to the end of the episode.

* The scene where Ash is staring at the sun rising is similar to the final scenes of ''[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]''.

===Errors===
===Dub edits===
* ''Be An Arrow!'' is replaced with an [[Rival Destinies (song)#Movie version|extended version]] of ''Rival Destinies'' during the flashback scenes.

'''Strong Strategy Steals the Show!''' (Japanese: '''ダゲキ登場！サトシ対ケニヤン！！''' ''{{tt|Dageki|Sawk}} Appears! {{tt|Satoshi|Ash}} VS {{tt|Kenyan|Stephan}}!!'') is the 106th episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and the 763rd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on December 13, 2012 and in the United States on March 30, 2013.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==

The episode starts out with a flashback showing {{Ash}} winning his second round battle in the [[Vertress Conference]] and advancing to the third round, battling [[Stephan]]. Stephan then sends out his {{p|Liepard}}. In response to this, Ash chooses {{AP|Krookodile}}.

Liepard opens up the battle with {{m|Shadow Claw}}, and Ash commands Krookodile to use {{m|Dragon Claw}}. Both moves collide and make a powerful explosion, as Liepard moves straight into {{m|Shadow Ball}} and Krookodile repels it with {{m|Stone Edge}}. Stephan then commands Liepard to use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, as Krookodile dodges with {{m|Dig}}. Right before Krookodile can attack, Liepard uses {{m|Double Team}}. After resurfacing, Krookodile looks around for the real Liepard but cannot point it out. Without any time to dodge, Krookodile is hit with multiple Shadow Claws and Shadow Balls, resulting in massive damage. After pulling himself together, he is commanded by Ash to use Stone Edge, which lands and causes Liepard to take damage. Stephan then has Liepard use Double Team again, and Krookodile attempts to avoid any incoming attacks with Dig. However, Stephan expected this, and had Liepard and its copies use Hyper Beam into the hole, forcing Krookodile out of the ground. Ash commands Dragon Claw, as Stephan commands Liepard to counter with Shadow Claw. {{an|Iris}} asks if it is a draw, and {{an|Cilan}} points out that Krookodile delivered more damage given the momentum it accumulated while falling. Both Pokémon land roughly on the ground, as they are both commanded by their trainers to make another collision with Shadow Claw and Dragon Claw, respectively. After a powerful collision, Krookodile falls on his knees making Liepard look like the winner for a split second, but Liepard falls on the ground directly after, giving Krookodile the win.

Stephan recalls Liepard and sends out {{p|Zebstrika}}. After looking Zebstrika up on his [[Pokédex]], Ash recalls Krookodile and sends out {{AP|Palpitoad}}. Cilan points out that both of Zebstrika's most effective moves ({{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Flame Charge}}) will not work on a {{t|Water}} and {{t|Ground}}-type like Palpitoad. After the quick talk, Iris, {{an|Bianca}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and [[Iris's Axew|Axew]] all cheer Ash on.

Stephan commands Zebstrika to use {{m|Double-Edge}}, as Ash commands Palpitoad to keep Zebstrika away with {{m|Mud Shot}}. Zebstrika dodges Palpitoad attack with great speed and lands its attack on Palpitoad. Zebstrika follows up with {{m|Stomp}} and Ash commands Palpitoad to dodge, but Palpitoad can't pull it off with Zebstrika's great speed and takes damage from the attack. Cilan points out that he may have been wrong before now that he has seen that Stephan has taught Zebstrika a variety of attacks to be able to put up with Ground-types. Ash then commands Palpitoad's new attack: {{m|Sludge Wave}}. The attack lands and {{status|Poison|poisons}} Zebstrika. However, this is just what Stephan wanted, which is proven by him commanding Zebstrika to use {{m|Facade}}, which has increased power when the user is infected with a [[Status ailment|status ailment]]. The attack causes Palpitoad to take a lot of damage as Zebstrika takes even more damage from poison. After pulling himself together, Palpitoad is about to get hit by another Facade as Ash commands him to stop Zebstrika in its tracks with {{m|Supersonic}}. Palpitoad's attacks stops Zebstrika's attack and {{status|Confusion|confuses}} it, making it start hurting itself. Knowing this is his chance, Ash commands Palpitoad to use {{m|Hydro Pump}}, which lands and forces a lot of damage upon Zebstrika. Zebstrika gets up, and charges in with a {{m|Giga Impact}}. Ash commands Palpitoad to dodge, but doesn't do it in time and gets hurled in the air. Palpitoad quickly fires back with Mud Shot, hurling Zebstrika into the air also. Both Pokémon smash against the wall and faint at the same time, leaving Stephan with just one Pokémon and Ash with two.

Ash recalls Palpitoad and Stephan recalls Zebstrika. Directly after, Stephan chooses [[Stephan's Sawk|Sawk]]. Ash looks Sawk up on his Pokédex, and Cilan points out that Stephan is down to his last Pokémon while Ash still has two of his to work with, save for the fact that Krookodile has taken a lot of damage during his battle with Liepard. Ash chooses {{AP|Leavanny}}, and both sides get ready to battle.

Sawk starts out with {{m|Bulk Up}}, and Leavanny starts out with {{m|String Shot}}. Stephan commands Sawk to break free, and he does. Sawk then uses {{m|Close Combat}}, and Ash commands Leavanny to dodge. Stephan takes on a surprised look, and Ash points out that he and Leavanny have been doing serious speed training. Ash then commands Leavanny's new move: {{m|X-Scissor}}. The attack lands and causes Sawk to take some damage, as Stephan commands him to go in for multiple {{m|Karate Chop|Karate Chops}}. However, Leavanny dodges them all with grace. Stephan then gets the idea that Leavanny won't be able to dodge if Sawk uses an attacks that lowers speed, so he commands {{m|Low Sweep}}. However, Ash commands Leavanny to dodge again and use {{m|Razor Leaf}}, which Sawk blocks. Leavanny then uses a powerful {{m|Energy Ball}} attack which lands and sends Sawk flying back. Sawk gets up, and Ash commands Leavanny to use another X-Scissor. Stephan commands Sawk to "catch" the X-Scissor and use Low Sweep to lower Leavanny's speed. After being weakened from the attack, Leavanny is unable to dodge an incoming Close Combat fron Sawk. However, after taking the attack, Leavanny's ability, {{a|Swarm}}, kicks in. Ash knows this is his chance and commands a powered up X-Scissor. However, Sawk dodges and uses Bulk Up. Ash commands String Shot and Stephan commands Sawk to break free. Despite having used Bulk Up twice, Sawk has trouble getting the threads off because of Leavanny's {{t|Bug}}-type attacks being powered up. Ash commands back-to-back X-Scissor's, and Sawk dodges each one by a little bit in an attempt to cut the threads off. Sawk finally breaks free and begins to look worn out, but goes straight in for a Karate Chop. Ash commands Leavanny to counter with Razor Leaf, but Sawk blocks it and lands his attack on Leavanny, knocking him out.

Ash recalls Leavanny and sends out Krookodile, who shows the damage he took from earlier. Cilan points out that Krookodile, a {{t|Dark}}-type, is at a disadvantage against Sawk, a {{t|Fighting}}-type. After giving each other a quick speech of intimidation, Ash and Stephan get ready to finish it.

Sawk is commanded by Stephan to use Close Combat while Krookodile is commanded by Ash to counter with Dragon Claw. After attacking, Krookodile begins to look like it can't take another attack, right as Sawk prepares for a Karate Chop. However, Ash fires right back by commanding Krookodile to use his new move: {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Krookodile charges in and dodges the Karate Chop, landing the super effective attack on Sawk, knocking him out.

After recalling Sawk, Ash and Stephan both congratulate each other for a great battle, as the entire audience gives them both a round of applause. Right after this, [[Virgil]], [[Cameron]] and [[Russet]] were all shown to have won their battles as well. Right after this, the big screen shows that Ash will face Cameron in a full battle. As night falls, Cilan is shown to have made everyone a big feast. Ash and Stephan begin to have a contest to see who can eat the most. Stephan also tells Ash that he had better not lose to anyone else he is up against now that he has beaten him, and also that he will cheer him on. Later on, Cilan and Iris are getting ready for bed as Iris asks where Ash is. Cilan tells her that he is too stoked for his upcoming battle the next day to sleep. Ash is then shown in the stadium looking around and thinking that he will be there tomorrow battling Cameron, just as he sees a tent out on the battlefield. Cameron and [[Cameron's Riolu|Riolu]] come out of it, and Ash tells him that he cannot wait for their battle the next day.

As the sun rises, Ash is out on the battlefield with Cameron getting ready to commence their battle as Cameron reveals his secret weapon: {{p|Hydreigon}}. Ash takes on a surprised look at Cameron's first choice, and the episode ends here.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
At the [[Vertress Conference]], {{Ash}} battles an unnamed male Trainer with his {{AP|Scraggy}}. Scraggy defeats the opponent's {{p|Darumaka}} using {{m|Headbutt}}, leaving Ash to proceed to the last 16 Trainers. It then shows the battles of Ash's rivals. [[Stephan's Sawk]] defeats a {{p|Gurdurr}} and [[Stephan]] wins. {{un|Cameron}} wins with his {{p|Ferrothorn}} against an {{p|Amoonguss}} and [[Virgil]] wins with his {{p|Glaceon}} against a {{p|Reuniclus}}. Afterwards, the central screen shows the match-ups for the last 16. Much to Ash's shock, he finds out he has to battle Stephan.

After the second round, the Trainers begin to rest for tomorrow. As {{an|Cilan}}, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Bianca}} walk through town, Bianca immediately realizes that there's an Ice Cream stand selling Casteliacones and goes ahead to buy some. {{TP|Iris|Axew}} suddenly notices a balloon floating by and runs after it. Meanwhile, Ash and Stephan are arguing who will win their battle. Cameron becomes excited because there will be fireworks that night, and he and {{TP|Cameron|Riolu}} run off to set up a tent in the open air to enjoy the fireworks to the fullest. Stephan tells Ash that he will show him how strong he really is and walks off. Ash then meets up with Cilan and Iris and {{AP|Pikachu}} notices Axew is gone.

At that same moment, Axew still chases the balloon but finds it has flown away. He then realizes he got lost and because there are so many people, he can't see where Iris and the others are. Axew then sees a bunch of people celebrating for [[Russet]], a participant of the Vertress Conference, for making it to the first few rounds. As Russet's celebrating squad walks by, Axew follows and [[Okura|an old lady]] of the squad notices Axew and grabs him. Meanwhile, Ash, Iris and Cilan are still searching for Axew.

Axew becomes dizzy because the woman that has taken him away runs at a fast pace. At the Vertress Stadium Ash and his friends are searching Axew using the surveillance camera system. Suddenly, Iris sees a recording where Axew is taken by the arm by an old woman. In the city, Bianca is eating a Casteliacone. She notices Axew walking all alone with a costume on. Axew tries to reach Bianca, but is taken away by Russet and his supporters once again. Meanwhile, Cameron and Riolu are setting up their tent near a lake. Their camp is accidentally destroyed by Russet and his supporters, however. Ash, Iris, Cilan and Virgil meanwhile are still in search for Axew. They meet up with Bianca and she wants to give them Casteliacones, but accidentally knocks Ash away in the water. Bianca then tells that she has seen Axew. The group decides to use their Pokemon to search for Axew. Ash sends out Pikachu, {{AP|Oshawott}} and Scraggy while Iris sends out {{TP|Iris|Emolga}}. At that same moment, Axew and Russet and his family and friends are picnicking and the group celebrates the fact that Russet made it to the last 16. Axew notices a girl giving her {{p|Lillipup}} food, which reminds him of Iris.

Meanwhile, Pikachu, Scraggy, Oshawott and Emolga are still in search of Axew. Whilst Pikachu and Scraggy ask a {{p|Stoutland}} for help, Oshawott notices a bunch of apples given to some wild {{p|Trubbish}} by a shopkeeper. The group of Trubbish notices Oshawott coming and hide. Oshawott then proceeds to eat all of the apples. Emolga and a wild {{p|Swoobat}} manage to find where Axew went. As the Pokemon prepare to leave, the shopkeeper that gave the apples to Trubbish notices that Oshawott ate all the apples and that Oshawott got overweight. Elsewhere, Axew runs away from the group of supporters to find Iris. At that moment, the Trubbish realize that Oshawott ate all of their apples and begin to cry, and a {{p|Garbodor}} appears, consoling them. It and the Trubbish then head on their way to search Oshawott. Meanwhile, Cameron and Riolu manage to repair their camping spot. Iris and the others come by and find the hat that Axew wore earlier and countinue to search, destroying Cameron's camp once again. Somewhere else, in a forest, Axew cries that he got lost. But Pikachu and the other Pokemon manage to find him and they reunite. The Garbodor and Trubbish arrive, however, having come to get revenge for Oshawott eating all the apples.

Elsewhere, Bianca and Virgil are still in search of Axew and the other Pokemon. They meet the woman who gave the wild Trubbish behind her store the apples that Oshawott eventually ate. She explains that there was a stuffed Oshawott with a Pikachu and Emolga and she leads Bianca and Virgil in the direction they went. At the forest near Vertress City, Axew and the other Pokémon run away from the angry Garbodor and Trubbish. Pikachu tries to ask them why they're doing this, but Gardobor responds by attacking them with {{m|Gunk Shot}}. Pikachu and the others end up at a cliff with only a deep abyss beneath them. Meanwhile, in the forest, Iris, Ash and Cilan find another piece of cloth Axew wore earlier. Then they suddenly hear a group of Pokémon screaming, which they recognise as the screams of their own Pokémon. At the cliff, Oshawott tries to reason Garbodor, but Gardobor reveals to Pikachu, Emolga and Axew that Oshawott ate all of the apples that were meant for the Trubbish. Oshawott tries to apoligize, but Garbodor ignores it and attacks once more using Gunk Shot. Oshawott quickly protects himself using his scalchop. Suddenly, Ash, Iris and Cilan arrive at the scene. But Garbodor once again attacks the group of Pokémon with Gunk Shot and sends them falling of the cliff. Then, out of nowhere, they are saved by Virgil's {{p|Espeon}} using {{m|Psychic}}. After Virgil and Bianca inform Ash and co. that Gardobor and Trubbish are attacking Oshawott because he ate their apples, Ash tries to stop Garbodor and tells it they're sorry for this incident. However, Garbodor still refuses the apologies and attacks them once more with Gunk Shot. But Virgil stops the attack in time using his {{p|Umbreon}}'s {{m|Shadow Ball}} and then uses a Soothe Bell to calm Garbodor down.

Back at Vertress City, Ash and co. bring a large supply of food to Garbodor and the Trubbish and have Oshawott apologize. At that moment, the fireworks show starts at Vertress City and everyone in town is watching. Ash, Iris and Cilan arrive at the lake near the city where Russet and his family and supporters are. The old lady who took Axew with her earlier notices that Axew got reunited with his Trainer.

The next day, the Vertress Conferece continues and the first battle is Ash against Stephan. Stephan sends out {{p|Liepard}}, which Ash scans. Ash is then about to send his Pokémon as the episode ends.

==Major events==

* {{Ash}}, [[Stephan]], and [[Virgil]] are revealed to have made it through the second round of the [[Vertress Conference]].
* Ash, Stephan, {{un|Cameron}}, and Virgil make it through the third round.
* Ash begins his match against Stephan.

* {{p|Espeon}}'s {{m|Psychic}} was used to levitate {{AP|Scraggy}}. In the games, this would not have worked, as Scraggy is a {{type|Dark}} Pokémon, and is therefore immune to {{type|Psychic}} moves.

===Dub edits===
*[[Russet]]'s father refers to [[Inakano Town]] as "our little town", not revealing a dub name for the location.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The battle between [[Trip]] and Ash continues... Pikachu manages to get up after getting hit by Serperior's {{m|Dragon Tail}}. Before Pikachu could have retaliated, Serperior hits it with {{m|Energy Ball}} and Dragon Tail. Then Serperior uses {{m|Wrap}} and Pikachu is in a tight squeeze. Ash calls out for a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Serperior merely passes the electricity underground by burying his tail and using it as a lightning rod.

Ash yells to him, and all the memories of his previous battles come on his mind. Ash quickly hatches a new plan. As Pikachu's tail was outside of Serperior's grip, he commands an {{m|Iron Tail}} which allows him to break free. Once more, the attack is repeated, but Serperior's {{m|Dragon Tail}} once again causes Pikachu to flinch. Ash, to Trip's sheer astonishment, orders Pikachu to gather electricity on his tail and he uses a unique {{m|Electro Ball}} and Iron Tail combo. Serperior counters with Dragon Tail, and a large explosion occurs. When the smoke clears, Pikachu collapses onto the ground, but manages to stand up within a few seconds with faltering steps. Serperior, however, is unconscious, and Trip has been defeated. Their rivalry ends, and friendship blooms its first bud.

With Trip and Ash's battle done, the League goes on to the first round. Cameron is matched up with {{an|Bianca}}, and their battle begins in earnest. Bianca starts up with her Escavalier, while Cameron goes on with Samurott. Escavalier uses {{m|Iron Defense}} several times, but Samurott still manages to beat it. Next up, Bianca sends out Emboar. Cameron thinks that he will win because of type advantage, but Bianca surprises everyone by using {{m|Attract}} on Samurott to infatuate it, and then knocks it out. Now one on one, Cameron sends out his Riolu. Riolu displays quite a battling prowess, and manages to turn hostile situations into an advantage. Riolu finally knocks out Emboar with a {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, giving Cameron the win, and knocking Bianca out of the [[Vertress Conference]].

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{incomplete synopsis}}
On their way to the [[Vertress City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} come across a bunch of giant boulders that block the path. {{an|Cilan}} proposes to look for anoher path, but Ash thinks they can easily climb over the rocks and {{an|Iris}} agrees. However, the boulders begin to move and fall into the cliff, causing Ash and Iris to fall as well. Just in time, they are saved by a man who has his {{p|Espeon}} use {{m|Psychic}}.

The man introduces himself as [[Virgil]], a rescure worker. The group thanks him and Espeon for saving them. Virgil explains that he is part of a rescue group with various teams and his team is called "Team {{p|Eevee}}". He says he owns Eevee and seven of the [[Eeveelution]]s. The group becomes fascinated about this and they want to see his complete team, to which Virgil agrees. The group follows Virgil to his ranch. There, Virgil shows all the Eeveevolutions he currently owns. Virgil explains about his past, that as a child, he got lost his forest with his very first Eevee. This Eevee evolved into {{p|Umbreon}} and used {{m|Flash}} to help him get out of the forest. This is the reason that Virgil became interested in training different Eevee.

Virgil then introduces his current unevolved female Eevee, which is still in training. They suddenly hear an alarm and a helicopter piloted by Virgil's older brother [[Davy]] comes out of a nearby barn. Davy tells Virgil that he will head to the emergency at a nearby dam with his {{p|Stoutland}}. The group then rush to the Virigl's father to hear about what happened. He explains that a {{p|Cryogonal}} has frozen the dam.

Davy arrives at the dam and he has his Stoutland search for the location where the men are trapped in the building. They are trapped in a control house with a frozen door. Davy sends out his {{p|Bisharp}} which uses {{m|Slash}} to open the door. Davy leads the trapped men out of the building. The rampaging Cryogonal suddenly appears and freezes the door of the control house once again, now with Davy and Stoutland inside. Davy calls his father that he is trapped in the building. Virgil decides to go to help his brother and Ash and the group propose to help out as well.

They arrvie at the dam and Davy gives Virgil the location where he got trapped. Virgil sends out his {{p|Flareon}} which uses {{m|Flamethrower}} to melt the frozen door. However, Virigl finds that door is locked and sends out Umbreon and {{p|Glaceon}}. He orders Glaceon to use {{m|Icy Wind}} on the keyhole while Umbreon uses Psychic to create a key. But then he finds out that the door is rusted. He sends out his {{p|Vaporeon}} to use {{m|BubbleBeam}} on the door and it finally opens.

They open the door but find that Davy is not there. It is completely dark due to the power failure, but Virgil has his Umbreon to use Flash. The group arrives at the power generator and find out that its batteries are low. Virgil sends out {{p|Jolteon}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to power it up. Ash has {{AP|Pikachu}} help as well and together they manage to get the power back on. Meanwhile, Davy finds another worker at the elevator.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==

{{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} arrive in [[Opelucid City]], site of Iris' Gym Battle against the local [[Gym Leader]], [[Drayden]]. Iris isn't in a good mood, and the boys ask her if she's okay. Even though she replied yes, she left them in order to climb to the top of the city's radio tower, just before [[Officer Jenny]] appeared, demanding of her to climb down immediately. After a bit of arguing, Iris returns to the surface and is scolded by the Officer. As soon as all this is over, the gang arrives at the Opelucid Academy, a prestigious school about Pokémon types, hosted in Opelucid City. It is also revealed that Drayden is the principal. Drayden notices the three, and asks Iris if anything is okay after the incident before. Iris replies positively, and Drayden leaves with his assistant, telling Iris that they should meet soon at the [[Opelucid Gym]]. Just then, the school's caretaker, [[Martha]] appears and guides the gang inside.

While having lunch, Martha and Iris describe the latter's life as student. Apparently, Iris left the [[Village of Dragons]] after her loss to Drayden, enrolling in the Opelucid Academy's {{t|Dragon}}-type course. However, the city life and student's attitude did not match Iris' personality, and she quickly became depressed. Initially, she was even unwilling to eat, until Martha found out her favourite food to cheer her up. Iris also reveals the reason she climbed the radio tower earlier. She regularly did that in her school days, in order to get fresh air and "feel the Village of Dragons". Officer Jenny, of course, was always there to scold her.

Soon, the gang enter Iris' former dorm, which is currently vacant. They notice that she has made drawings of all her friends back at her hometown in the walls. Finally, Iris says that after lots of postcards from [[Shannon]], she got nostalgic over her village, and secretly left school in order to return. This was also the reason she avoided Opelucid and Drayden that much all this time.

She also talks about a [[Fraxure]] she befriended, one of the Academy's Pokémon that was used to battle. In one of those battles against another Student's [[Altaria]], Iris commanded Fraxure to attack alone, because of her anger. It was that anger that made her lose the battle, and get scolded with Drayden afterwards. Finally, she makes it to the school's playground and apologizes to Fraxure for what happened. It accepts the apology and Iris promises that she will do her best to defeat Drayden and become a Dragon Master.

With her issues with the past dealt with, Iris and her friends finally head to the Gym, as she is more than ready to challenge Drayden to a battle. This time, it will be a two on two match. Drayden starts up with [[Haxorus]], while Iris sends out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}}, hoping that she will fare better this time. Indeed, the battle goes on exactly the way it did the first time. However, in the end, instead of a {{m|Rock Smash}} collision, Excadrill uses {{m|Focus Blast}}, holding Haxorus back. In the end, they collide with {{m|Giga Impact}} and {{m|Drill Run}} respectively, and their matchup ends in a tie. Both Trainers are satisfied from it, and Drayden congratulates Iris for her progress.

The battle is one on one, Drayden's [[Druddigon]] against Iris' {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}}. Even though the latter has the aerial advantage, Iris decides (upon Dragonite's wishes) to not use it, making it a fair play match. Unfortunately for Iris, Dragonite's powerful attacks were blocked by Druddigon's arms. Iris decides to finish the match with a {{m|Dragon Rush}}, but Druddigon stopped it and finished the match with a decisive {{m|Dragon Tail}}, giving Drayden the win. Even though Iris lost, she receives a praise from Drayden and leaves the Gym happy and exhilerated.

Before departure, Martha says that Iris' goal of becoming a Dragon Master is far from achieved, and that she should continue journeying until she reaches that point. In fact, even the Village [[Elder]] and Drayden agree with that, and Iris finally realized that Drayden had no problem with her leaving school. Let alone, they want her to become the next Opelucid Gym Leader. Iris is surprised by that, and says that she wants her time, before her and her friends leaving Opelucid for good.

In the end, Ash tells Iris that he will not fall behind her, as he is going to win the [[Unova League]].
