==Blurb==

Finally reaching the outskirts of Blackthorn City, Ash pushes to quickly seek out the gym where he hopes to earn his final Johto badge. Before he has the opportunity, he chances into a Dratini and learns that its eager trainer, Clair, is in fact the Blackthorn Gym leader. Ash's attempt to challenge her to a duel—and Brock's attempts at getting her phone number—are both cut short when Team Rocket arrives, intent on stealing the Gym Leader's Dratini right out from under her. After dispatching with these hapless villains, Ash secures Clair's promise to face him in her gym. Cheerfully Ash and friends march the last few miles into the city.

==Plot==
Having nearly arrived at [[Blackthorn City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} find a {{p|Dratini}} lying on the ground. However, when they try to get a closer look, a {{p|Gyarados}} appears and keeps them at bay using a {{m|Hydro Pump}}. A mysterious woman appears, threatening them if they try to harm the Dratini. After the confusion is sorted, the woman introduces herself as [[Clair]], and that her Gyarados was simply trying to protect her Dratini. However, when Dratini leaves, Clair and Gyarados leaves in pursuit. Ash then runs into her elderly assistant, [[Kaburagi]], who reveals to them that Clair is the Blackthorn Gym Leader, and must perform a ritual with the Dragon Fang. As they slowly follow Clair and her Dratini upstream, Kaburagi reveals the local history: an unidentified dragon Pokémon had terrorized local residents, until it was defeated by the first Blackthorn Gym Leader, who took one of its fangs as a sign of victory. Since then, the Dragon Fang has been handed down through generations, and today is the day that they must perform a purification ritual.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}}, further upstream, is relaxing when Dratini passes by. [[Jessie]] is enamored by the Dratini, hoping to catch one for her own. As [[James]] sends out {{TP|James|Weezing}}, they are suddenly washed in Gyarados' Hydro Pump, and meet face to face with Clair. When Team Rocket try to threaten her, she sends them flying by using another one of Gyarados' Hydro Pump attacks. Meanwhile, Ash and company, with Kaburagi, manage to make up their ground with Clair. Kaburagi implores Clair to return in time for the ritual, but Clair objects, seeing as Dratini is preparing to shed her skin - a point in which Dratini are the most vulnerable. When Dratini leaves, Clair and Gyarados follow, and Ash and company have no choice but to follow them, and let Dratini shed her skin before preparing for the ritual. Team Rocket, intending on stealing Dratini, is also in pursuit - though James contends that Dratini would fetch a high price either on the open market or as a gift to {{an|Giovanni}}, Jessie is adamant that she keep Dratini for herself, thinking that she is cute.

Knowing that pursuing Dratini may take the entire day, Clair takes a break for lunch. This gives an opportunity for Ash to challenge Clair, which Clair accepts. Kaburagi, noticing that Ash had won the Badge from [[Mahogany Town]], asks them whether the rumors of a [[Red Gyarados]] rampaging near town were true. Ash and company proceed to tell them the whole story, including how they had met [[Lance]], and how they were in the middle of the entire situation. Clair and her assistant is surprised at the fact that Lance is a Pokémon G-Man, which surprises Ash (not knowing that they, too, are acquainted with Lance). Clair reveals that the two are both {{t|Dragon}}-type Trainers who had trained with each other. Knowing this, Ash and Clair are both excited for their upcoming battle. Their lunch is disrupted by an elderly couple, who wants to take pictures with Dratini. Though Clair is reluctant, she allows the couple to go near Dratini, only for the couple to trap Dratini in a net. The couple reveal themselves as Jessie and James, while {{MTR}} covers their escape using a smoke bomb.

While Clair is in hot pursuit of Team Rocket's balloon, Dratini tries desperately to break free by rocking the balloon. When the balloon crashes, she makes a desperate attempt into the water, which Jessie quickly stops. This allows Clair to catch up. Trying to defend themselves, James sends out Weezing, but is dispatched easily by Gyarados. Pikachu tries to {{m|Thunderbolt}} Team Rocket to send them flying, but {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}'s {{m|Counter}} deflects the attack in all directions - hitting Ash, Pikachu, Team Rocket, and nearly hitting {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and Kaburagi. When an errant Thunderbolt is about to hit Dratini, Clair dives to protect her. Just at that moment, Dratini evolves into {{p|Dragonair}}, much to Jessie's dismay (who contends that she was cuter as a Dratini). As Dragonair is far more rare, Team Rocket presses on their attack, but thanks to Gyarados' {{m|Hyper Beam}} and Dragonair's {{m|Twister}}, they are sent flying.

Just as they celebrate their victory, Dragonair leaves, with everyone in pursuit. They are led to Riverhead Falls, the source of the water that leads into Blackthorn City, and the perfect place for the ritual. Ash and company are witnesses to the purification ritual, in which Clair says a prayer and proceeds to drench the [[Dragon Fang]] in the lake water. The Dragon Fang reacts, and sends a dragon-shaped beam of light into the sky. Kaburagi explains that after a dragon Pokémon dies, its body becomes a star in the sky.

The next day, Ash and his friends finally make it to the city gates of Blackthorn City, as the Blackthorn Gym awaits.

'''I Politoed Ya So!''' (Japanese: '''ニョロトノのチアリーディング！''' ''{{tt|Nyorotono's|Politoed's}} Cheerleading!'') is the 249th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on May 23, 2002 and in the United States on May 24, 2003.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

When Ash, Misty, and Brock pause for a quaint picnic by a lake, Politoed wanders off and is mistaken by another trainer for her own Politoed, the rhythm leader in her Pokémon cheerleading squad that had gone AWOL. When Ash and friends clear up the misunderstanding, the trainer still begs for them to loan her their Politoed for use in an upcoming cheerleading competition. Meanwhile, her own Politoed returns and, none too pleased to find another Pokémon in its place, immediately runs away again. Not wanting to break up a happy Pokémon cheer team, Misty allows the trainer to borrow her Pokémon for the competition, but promises in the meantime to track down the missing Politoed and convince it to return to active duty.

==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} pause for a picnic by a lake, and release all of their Pokémon for lunch. Ash compliments Brock on the food, a sentiment shared by {{AP|Pikachu}} and all of the Pokémon, to which Brock emotionally plies everyone with more food. {{AP|Cyndaquil}} eats two rice balls at once and begins to choke, but when Ash runs over to help, it uses Flamethrower to clear its airways and roasts Ash's face in the process.

After lunch everyone has a sleep, except for [[Misty's Politoed]], who decides to have another rice ball. In the process of taking one, it knocks it off the plate and it rolls into the bushes. Whilst searching, Politoed is discovered by a female Trainer, who admonishes "Bean" for running away and losing its red headband. Resigned to Politoed's behavior, the girl takes its hand and starts walking home, just as another Politoed wearing a red headband wanders out and watched after them, confused.

The girl arrives back at a large building and announces to a group of {{type|Grass}} Pokémon that she found Bean. However, the {{p|Sunflora}}, {{p|Jumpluff}} and {{p|Bellossom}} all crowd round, confused, and the girl realizes that Politoed is not her own. Politoed promptly begins clapping happily, and the Grass Pokémon all enthusiastically dance and sing to the rhythm. Astonished but happy, the girl exclaims that she loves Politoed.

Back at camp, Brock recalls {{TP|Brock|Onix}} and they prepare to head off, but Misty exclaims that she can't find Politoed. Just as they run off to look for it, they fall into {{TRT}}'s pitfall and are confronted. In the closing line of the motto, Meowth sticks a large metal plate over the hole, sealing Ash and his friends inside. As Ash yells at them to let them out, a sad Bean walks past, which Team Rocket believe to belong to Misty. Misty, only being able to hear, cries for Politoed to run away, but Team Rocket tells Meowth to attack, as he is a Pokémon and doesn't do enough battling. Meowth leaps forward, but Bean sticks out its long tongue and stops him in midair, causing him to fall back. Impressed, Jessie and James attempt to entice the confused Bean into joining Team Rocket. However, Misty and the others escape from the hole and yell at Politoed not to believe what Team Rocket say. After yelling at each other, Bean tells Meowth that it's not interested, and Pikachu sends them blasting off with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Misty runs up to Politoed happily, but instantly realizes that it isn't hers.

Back with Misty's Politoed, the girl is instructing her Grass Pokémon to dance, conducted by Misty's Politoed. The group leap into their signature finish with Politoed at the head of a pyramid, just as Misty, Bean and the other walk past. Misty bets that her Politoed and Bean have been mixed up somehow. Bean looks into the building courtyard and Misty spots Politoed with the girl. Misty explains that they must be a cheerleading squad.

Bean becomes angry and upset at seeing Misty's Politoed, and runs up to the girl, who enthusiastically greets him at first. However, she then turns snide, informing Bean that he's late and has been replaced, saddening Bean. Misty runs up and informs her that Politoed belongs to her, introducing themselves whilst Misty's Politoed dances happily. The girl introduces herself as {{jo|Tammy}}, and explains that her team is trying to enter the National Cheering Competition. After some small talk, Tammy asks Misty for a favor.

Tammy shows the trio how well her group does with Misty's Politoed conducting, and assures her that she would be certain to win first place if Politoed led them to the Nationals. However, Misty is worried about Bean, who is standing all alone, sadly watching the proceedings. Tammy explains that she was very angry at Bean earlier, who ran away. Misty asks if Bean can train again, but Tammy sadly says no, then orders her Grass Pokémon back to work. Ash and Misty feel bad for Bean, who is sadly walking away. Misty vows to do something for Bean.

Typically, Team Rocket are fantasizing about presenting the whole Cheering squad to Giovanni, to put him in a good mood.

Misty and her friends chase Bean and tell it that it and Tammy are being stubborn and should simply reconcile. However, Bean runs away and Brock notes that it didn't go well. Ash and Pikachu follow Bean, whilst Brock and Misty go back to Tammy. Ash and Pikachu track down Bean who is practicing its moves. Pikachu attempts to make Bean laugh, but the game is up when Ash bursts out laughing at Pikachu's faces. Ash apologizes for blowing Pikachu's cover and tries to talk to Bean, who simply shoves Pikachu aside and walks away. Ash calls after Bean, but there is no response.

Back at Tammy's, she is pleading with Misty to let her borrow Politoed until the competition. Misty says that she has spent longer with Bean, and Brock says that having to catch up with Misty just to return Politoed would be a lot of trouble just for a competition. Misty asks if the competition really is that important, to which Tammy replies that it is her dream to entertain the world with her Pokémon's cheering.

Politoed leads the signature pose once more, but one of the Jumpluff trip and the whole pyramid collapses. Brock and Misty are horrified but Tammy just yells at the group, admonishing them for their failure and saying that she is ashamed of every one of them. The Pokémon begin to cry and Tammy only yells at them for that, until Misty rushes over. Tammy apologizes for the mess-up, but Misty berates her for not caring about her own Pokémon, not even checking if they were injured. Misty checks on Politoed, who is fine, who then begins to clap, cheering Tammy's Pokémon out of their tears. Tammy watches Misty check the Pokémon, getting a flashback of her younger self, nurturing a young Bellossom who just suffered a fall. She remembers Bean conducting the group and exclaiming their dreams of entertaining, not winning.

These memories cause Tammy to start crying, much to the surprise of Misty, Brock, Politoed and Tammy's Pokémon. Politoed's clapping only makes her cry harder, as she explains her obsession with winning the competition had begun to override everything else. She had been trying to make people happy whilst upsetting those closest to her. However, her Pokémon begin to cheer, showing that they are not angry at her at all. She emotionally embraces all of her Pokémon.

At this moment, Team Rocket attack in a giant Cheering Politoed mecha. The robot's giant tongue seizes Misty, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, Brock, Tammy, Politoed and all the Cheering squad and everyone is dumped in the giant robot's stomach cage. Nearby, Ash hears and sees the mecha and rushes back with Pikachu and Bean in pursuit. The mecha turns around and faces Ash; [[Jessie]] taunts him for being tardy. Brock yells a warning to Ash, but it is too late and Ash and Pikachu fall into another pitfall, into a large sticky flytrap that immobilizes the pair of them. Team Rocket's mecha uses an antenna to seize Pikachu and cut it free, whilst Ash is left stuck.

Inside, Jessie dreams about her hard work paying off, to which James complains that he and Meowth did all the work. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt but it doesn't work: Team Rocket has insulated the robot against electric attacks. As the mecha turns to leave, it is confronted by Bean. Team Rocket attack, but Bean dodges the tongue and uses {{m|Water Gun}} on the glass behind which Tammy and the others are trapped. The glass shifts and everyone falls free. Bean and Tammy happily reunited, but the mecha attempts to squash the pair, who are only saved when Tammy tackles Bean out of the way. Tammy apologizes to Bean and pleads with it to let her work with it towards their goals, which Bean happily accepts. Misty and her Politoed vow to help, and it conducts the cheer squad. Jessie becomes sour and orders {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to use {{m|Headbutt}}, which Misty's Politoed immediately counters with a Headbutt of its own. Politoed lands and begins clapping, whilst Arbok is [[Flinch|dazed]]. Bean uses {{m|DoubleSlap}} and Politoed {{m|Water Gun}}, knocking out Arbok. Bean and Politoed then double up a Water Gun and drench the mecha in water. Brock frees Ash from the pitfall and Ash orders Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, zapping the robot and sending Team Rocket blasting off.

Politoed and Bean both begin to clap, much to Tammy's astonishment. Bean's clapping does just as good a job as Politoed's, as the Grass Pokémon begin to dance just like they did for Politoed.

Grateful, Tammy promises to cheer for Ash in his Johto championship and bid farewell to the trio, who set off towards their next adventure.

* This episode is one of the rare times where Brock does not flirt with a girl. In this case, it would be Tammy when he firsts meets her.

===Errors===
* When [[Misty]] explains how [[Misty's Politoed|Politoed]] could have gotten lost she says "My Politoed must have gotten lost while we were all busy eating our lunch." Misty did see Politoed during lunch and what she should have said is that Politoed wandered away while they were all asleep.
* When the cheerleaders are crying, one of Bellossom's flowers flickers on and off between two frames.
* When Team Rocket steal {{AP|Pikachu}}, it's facing backwards to the machine. But when Pikachu uses thunderbolt, it's facing towards the machine.

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:33, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

== Errors ==

Please make sure there is no fault with the copy of the episode you have, as the sound delays and graphical glitches could be because your tape or dvd is faulty. Please ensure that this is not the case before adding anymore errors.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:35, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

== Few Things ==

* Know the difference between its and it's. '''Its''' is the possessive whilst '''it's''' is the contraction of '''it is'''. Example: "It's a Fire type Pokémon", "Its Fire type moves are extremely powerful".
* Know the difference between there, they're and their. '''There''' is the pronoun, '''They're''' is the contraction of '''They are''' and '''Their''' is the possessive. Example: "The trainers are over there", "They're really strong", "Their Pokémon is strong".

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

On meeting up with a proud Pokémon trainer who dares all comers to face his Poliwrath, Misty and Ash quickly rise to the challenge. Misty, in particular, encourages her Poliwhirl to watch closely as it may someday evolve into a Poliwrath. As is often the case, the battle isn't long over before this challenger and Ash and Misty have become fast friends. Meanwhile, Team Rocket, having furtively observed this battle and been convinced that the Poliwrath is a match even for Pikachu, decide to first capture it and then use it to capture Pikachu. Unfortunately, this logic does not hold as they find capturing a Pokémon stronger than Pikachu even more difficult than simply capturing Pikachu. A surprise is in store for Misty, as her Poliwhirl evolves not into a Poliwrath, but into another Pokémon altogether.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are heading towards [[Blackthorn City]]. {{an|Brock}} is checking a guidebook when he notes that they are close. Then they see a [[Pokémon battle]] with a big crowd. They decide to check it out. When they get a closer look they see two Trainers battling with {{p|Hitmontop}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}. Poliwrath uses {{m|Submission}} and the match is over! Poliwrath's Trainer says the other Trainer's name which is [[Mason]]. Ash is confused because he thought only fighting Pokémon learn Submission, and Poliwrath is a Water type. {{an|Misty}} explains that Poliwrath learns Submission when it evolves. Poliwrath and its Trainer are cheered by the audience. Then Poliwrath's Trainer declares he'd like another battle. Ash gladly steps up. Then Misty declares she wants to battle. Then Ash and Misty start arguing over the battle. Poliwrath's Trainer then says that he'll battle both of them. The first battle is [[Misty's Poliwhirl]] vs the other Trainer's Poliwrath. The battle starts with a collision of Water Guns. Poliwhirl then uses {{m|Bubble}}. Poliwrath dodges and uses {{m|DoubleSlap}}. The match ends with Poliwrath's Submission.

The next battle is Poliwrath vs {{AP|Bayleef}}. Bayleef starts off with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Poliwrath dodges and uses DoubleSlap. In the meantime, Poliwhirl begins to recover to watch the battle. Misty wants Poliwhirl to watch as it might [[Evolution|evolve]] into Poliwrath someday. The match soon appears to be a bad match up for Bayleef as Poliwrath has Bayleef on two feet not four. Soon it is revealed {{TRT}} is watching. [[Jessie]] says she wants Poliwrath not {{AP|Pikachu}} this time. James and {{MTR}} agree, because if they had Poliwrath, Pikachu would be easier to catch. Meanwhile, both Bayleef and Poliwrath appear to be severely damaged. Bayleef uses a Tackle attack and Poliwrath uses DoubleSlap. Then all of a sudden, Brock stops the match. Both Ash and Poliwrath's Trainer ask what the big deal is. Brock points out that both Pokémon are too injured to go on. When seeing this, the other Trainer introduced himself as Delaney. Ash, Brock, and Misty introduce themselves too.

Later at the [[Pokémon Center]], Ash and Misty are talking about healing their Pokémon when Ash slips on the floor and his belongings go flying out of his [[bag|backpack]]. At the same time, Poliwhirl finds the King's Rock and is returned with it. Meanwhile, Delaney is saying sorry to Poliwrath when, he sees a fortune teller (Jessie in disguise). Then two orange farmers (James and Meowth) come up and tell him that she tells the truth and show him the crop they made out of it. They leave and Jessie tells him his Poliwrath is possessed by evil. Next she tells him she can remove the evil. Delaney believes her and gives her Poliwrath. She covers it with a cloth and tells Delaney to count to thirty slowly with his eyes closed. During this Team Rocket slowly make their escape but Delaney opens his eyes and sees them. Team Rocket runs away scared that he might catch up.

Meanwhile, Ash and his friends hear Delaney shout and come over to help with the chase. Ash realizes They are Team Rocket and soon Team Rocket and they recite the motto. Soon they are in the [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]] making their escape by air. As the gang follows they slide down the hill into a truck carrying hay, as Team Rocket disappears behind a mountain. Ash wants to send out Noctowl, but all of his Pokémon are still at the Pokémon Center. As the truck stops, everybody jumps off the truck and continues the chase.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket celebrates and tries to train Poliwrath. Poliwrath defeats all of their Pokémon but won't listen to Team Rocket. Soon Ash and his friends find the Pokémon Center and get their Pokémon back. As they come out of the center a man runs up to them and says something about a Poliwrath and three other "folks". Meanwhile Team Rocket has geared up Poliwrath with the mark three meta minder, a machine that allows them to control anybody. As Poliwrath defeats an {{p|Ursaring}}, Ash and his friends catch up. When seeing Delaney, Poliwrath struggles a lot more than previously. Delaney realizes about the machine and is angry. Ash sends out {{TP|Ash|Phanpy}}. Poliwrath uses Water Gun. After this, Ash commands Phanpy to use {{m|Take Down}}, but Delaney stops him so they cannot hurt Poliwrath. Misty sends out Corsola next, which uses Tackle and Spike Cannon on the mark III meta minder making the machine fly onto Jessie. Soon Meowth is using the machine to control Jessie. Meanwhile, Poliwrath wakes up. Next James gets the controls for Jessie. Poliwrath uses DoubleSlap to get the machine off Jessie. James sends out Victreebel. As usual it jumps on his head. Jessie sends out Arbok. Then Misty sends out Poliwhirl-except it has the King's Rock. The rock activates evolving Poliwhirl into {{p|Politoed}}. Ash says "that's pretty weird" and looks it up in the [[Pokédex]].

Misty says she loves it. Arbok attacks and Phanpy uses Take Down. Victreebel attacks except Politoed handshakes it. Misty commands it to use Water Gun. Victreebel counters with Razor Leaf and Politoed uses DoubleSlap. Soon Phanpy is in trouble from Arbok's Wrap. Brock suggests Politoed uses {{m|Swagger}} so it does. Soon Arbok and Victreebel are confused and start fighting with each other. Misty congratulates Politoed and it starts dancing. Then Arbok launches an attack on Politoed. Brock then notes that Swagger confuses and raises its opponents' attack power. Then Delaney commands Poliwrath to use DoubleSlap on Arbok. Politoed does the same thing on Victreebel. Then Phanpy finishes them with Take Down. As Delaney got Poliwrath's Poké Ball back, Pikachu blasts Team Rocket off with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Everyone celebrates after finally defeating Team Rocket. Later at the Pokémon Center, Delaney and the gang part ways and their journey continues.

==Trivia==
* This episode aired in the U.S. exactly one year and one day from its Japanese airing.
* Ash and {{ashfr}} transfer their Pokémon between [[Pokémon Center]]s. This presumably has the same physical effect as trading, which is required for {{p|Poliwhirl}} to evolve into {{p|Politoed}}.
* The device used by Team Rocket for this episode bears a resemblance to the Strength Intensifiers [[A.J.]] used on his Pokémon. Its purpose is also similar to the device [[Dr. Namba]] used on {{p|Electabuzz}} and hoped to use on {{p|Lugia}}.
* Instead of the regular Team Rocket theme, during the motto it is instead a variation.
* This is the third time an overly-confident Trainer is well-known for his "unbeatable" Poliwrath. The other times were in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'' and ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''.
* The English title is most likely a reference to "The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" (Hamlet 3. 1. 68), part of Hamlet's "{{wp|To be, or not to be}}" soliloquy from the tragedy by {{wp|William Shakespeare}}.
** It may also be based on either the {{wp|Outrageous Fortune (game show)|game show}} or {{wp|Outrageous Fortune (film)|movie}} "Outrageous Fortune".
** Another possible source for the title could be the fortune teller act put on by Team Rocket during the episode.
* When Poliwhirl evolves, Team Rocket says, "Shazam!" This may be a reference to {{wp|Captain Marvel}}, the comic book figure who transforms from a young man into an adult superhero at the mention of the name of the wizard who gave him his abilities, Shazam.

===Errors===
* When Poliwrath is fighting [[Ash's Bayleef]], it is the ninth battle that day. Brock says it is Poliwrath's ''eighth'' battle.
* When [[Nurse Joy]] sends over the groups Pokémon, the Poké Balls are missing the outer white circle.
* When Misty calls on Corsola to battle Poliwrath, she sends it out of a regular {{ball|Poké}} instead of the {{ball|Lure}} it is contained in.
* When Team Rocket blasts off, even though {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} isn't out of its Poké Ball, it is seen blasting off with them.
* When Misty sends out her Poliwhirl (while facing [[Delaney]]), the Poké Ball is missing the button and the outer white circle.
* Delaney say to Ash in the final scene, "good luck and get that last badge Ash". Despite Ash never mentioning anything about his badges to Delaney.

===Dub edits===
* There are a lot of slapping shots in this episode, and two of those shots were deemed "too violent" for the English dub. There are two separate shots of Poliwrath violently slapping Jessie; in one of those shots, she has red spots on her cheeks from Poliwrath's intense slapping. Both of these shots were cut from the dub and replaced with an alternate animation. The same happened with the [[EP001|first]] and [[EP003|third]] episodes, where Misty slapped Ash for letting {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} get hurt.

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section.

Please make sure there is no fault with the copy of the episode you have, as the sound delays and graphical glitches could be because your tape or dvd is faulty. Please ensure that this is not the case before adding anymore errors.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:35, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

* Know the difference between its and it's. '''Its''' is the possessive whilst '''it's''' is the contraction of '''it is'''. Example: "It's a Fire type Pokémon", "Its Fire type moves are extremely powerful".
* Know the difference between there, they're and their. '''There''' is the pronoun, '''They're''' is the contraction of '''They are''' and '''Their''' is the possessive. Example: "The trainers are over there", "They're really strong", "Their Pokémon is strong".
* Always capitalize names and places. Ash, Mahogany Town, Misty, Brock etc.
* Use {{bp|List of link templates}}.
* A Pokémon saying its name but not moving its mouth is not an error. It is common for Pokémon to do that.

==Blurb==

On meeting up with a proud Pokémon trainer who dares all comers to face his Poliwrath, Misty and Ash quickly rise to the challenge. Misty, in particular, encourages her Poliwhirl to watch closely as it may someday evolve into a Poliwrath. As is often the case, the battle isn't long over before this challenger and Ash and Misty have become fast friends. Meanwhile, Team Rocket, having furtively observed this battle and been convinced that the Poliwrath is a match even for Pikachu, decide to first capture it and then use it to capture Pikachu. Unfortunately, this logic does not hold as they find capturing a Pokémon stronger than Pikachu even more difficult than simply capturing Pikachu. A surprise is in store for Misty, as her Poliwhirl evolves not into a Poliwrath, but into another Pokémon altogether.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are heading towards [[Blackthorn City]]. {{an|Brock}} is checking a guidebook when he notes that they are close. Then they see a [[Pokémon battle]] with a big crowd. They decide to check it out. When they get a closer look they see two Trainers battling with {{p|Hitmontop}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}. Poliwrath uses {{m|Submission}} and the match is over! Poliwrath's Trainer says the other Trainer's name which is [[Mason]]. Ash is confused because he thought only fighting Pokémon learn Submission, and Poliwrath is a Water type. {{an|Misty}} explains that Poliwrath learns Submission when it evolves. Poliwrath and its Trainer are cheered by the audience. Then Poliwrath's Trainer declares he'd like another battle. Ash gladly steps up. Then Misty declares she wants to battle. Then Ash and Misty start arguing over the battle. Poliwrath's Trainer then says that he'll battle both of them. The first battle is [[Misty's Poliwhirl]] vs the other Trainer's Poliwrath. The battle starts with a collision of Water Guns. Poliwhirl then uses {{m|Bubble}}. Poliwrath dodges and uses {{m|DoubleSlap}}. The match ends with Poliwrath's Submission.

The next battle is Poliwrath vs {{AP|Bayleef}}. Bayleef starts off with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Poliwrath dodges and uses DoubleSlap. In the meantime, Poliwhirl begins to recover to watch the battle. Misty wants Poliwhirl to watch as it might [[Evolution|evolve]] into Poliwrath someday. The match soon appears to be a bad match up for Bayleef as Poliwrath has Bayleef on two feet not four. Soon it is revealed {{TRT}} is watching. [[Jessie]] says she wants Poliwrath not {{AP|Pikachu}} this time. James and {{MTR}} agree, because if they had Poliwrath, Pikachu would be easier to catch. Meanwhile, both Bayleef and Poliwrath appear to be severely damaged. Bayleef uses a Tackle attack and Poliwrath uses DoubleSlap. Then all of a sudden, Brock stops the match. Both Ash and Poliwrath's Trainer ask what the big deal is. Brock points out that both Pokémon are too injured to go on. When seeing this, the other Trainer introduced himself as Delaney. Ash, Brock, and Misty introduce themselves too.

Later at the [[Pokémon Center]], Ash and Misty are talking about healing their Pokémon when Ash slips on the floor and his belongings go flying out of his [[bag|backpack]]. At the same time, Poliwhirl finds the King's Rock and is returned with it. Meanwhile, Delaney is saying sorry to Poliwrath when, he sees a fortune teller (Jessie in disguise). Then two orange farmers (James and Meowth) come up and tell him that she tells the truth and show him the crop they made out of it. They leave and Jessie tells him his Poliwrath is possessed by evil. Next she tells him she can remove the evil. Delaney believes her and gives her Poliwrath. She covers it with a cloth and tells Delaney to count to thirty slowly with his eyes closed. During this Team Rocket slowly make their escape but Delaney opens his eyes and sees them. Team Rocket runs away scared that he might catch up.

Meanwhile, Ash and his friends hear Delaney shout and come over to help with the chase. Ash realizes They are Team Rocket and soon Team Rocket and they recite the motto. Soon they are in the [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]] making their escape by air. As the gang follows they slide down the hill into a truck carrying hay, as Team Rocket disappears behind a mountain. Ash wants to send out Noctowl, but all of his Pokémon are still at the Pokémon Center. As the truck stops, everybody jumps off the truck and continues the chase.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket celebrates and tries to train Poliwrath. Poliwrath defeats all of their Pokémon but won't listen to Team Rocket. Soon Ash and his friends find the Pokémon Center and get their Pokémon back. As they come out of the center a man runs up to them and says something about a Poliwrath and three other "folks". Meanwhile Team Rocket has geared up Poliwrath with the mark three meta minder, a machine that allows them to control anybody. As Poliwrath defeats an {{p|Ursaring}}, Ash and his friends catch up. When seeing Delaney, Poliwrath struggles a lot more than previously. Delaney realizes about the machine and is angry. Ash sends out {{TP|Ash|Phanpy}}. Poliwrath uses Water Gun. After this, Ash commands Phanpy to use {{m|Take Down}}, but Delaney stops him so they cannot hurt Poliwrath. Misty sends out Corsola next, which uses Tackle and Spike Cannon on the mark III meta minder making the machine fly onto Jessie. Soon Meowth is using the machine to control Jessie. Meanwhile, Poliwrath wakes up. Next James gets the controls for Jessie. Poliwrath uses DoubleSlap to get the machine off Jessie. James sends out Victreebel. As usual it jumps on his head. Jessie sends out Arbok. Then Misty sends out Poliwhirl-except it has the King's Rock. The rock activates evolving Poliwhirl into {{p|Politoed}}. Ash says "that's pretty weird" and looks it up in the [[Pokédex]].

Misty says she loves it. Arbok attacks and Phanpy uses Take Down. Victreebel attacks except Politoed handshakes it. Misty commands it to use Water Gun. Victreebel counters with Razor Leaf and Politoed uses DoubleSlap. Soon Phanpy is in trouble from Arbok's Wrap. Brock suggests Politoed uses {{m|Swagger}} so it does. Soon Arbok and Victreebel are confused and start fighting with each other. Misty congratulates Politoed and it starts dancing. Then Arbok launches an attack on Politoed. Brock then notes that Swagger confuses and raises its opponents' attack power. Then Delaney commands Poliwrath to use DoubleSlap on Arbok. Politoed does the same thing on Victreebel. Then Phanpy finishes them with Take Down. As Delaney got Poliwrath's Poké Ball back, Pikachu blasts Team Rocket off with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Everyone celebrates after finally defeating Team Rocket. Later at the Pokémon Center, Delaney and the gang part ways and their journey continues.

==Trivia==
* This episode aired in the U.S. exactly one year and one day from its Japanese airing.
* Ash and {{ashfr}} transfer their Pokémon between [[Pokémon Center]]s. This presumably has the same physical effect as trading, which is required for {{p|Poliwhirl}} to evolve into {{p|Politoed}}.
* The device used by Team Rocket for this episode bears a resemblance to the Strength Intensifiers [[A.J.]] used on his Pokémon. Its purpose is also similar to the device [[Dr. Namba]] used on {{p|Electabuzz}} and hoped to use on {{p|Lugia}}.
* Instead of the regular Team Rocket theme, during the motto it is instead a variation.
* This is the third time an overly-confident Trainer is well-known for his "unbeatable" Poliwrath. The other times were in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'' and ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''.
* The English title is most likely a reference to "The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" (Hamlet 3. 1. 68), part of Hamlet's "{{wp|To be, or not to be}}" soliloquy from the tragedy by {{wp|William Shakespeare}}.
** It may also be based on either the {{wp|Outrageous Fortune (game show)|game show}} or {{wp|Outrageous Fortune (film)|movie}} "Outrageous Fortune".
** Another possible source for the title could be the fortune teller act put on by Team Rocket during the episode.
* When Poliwhirl evolves, Team Rocket says, "Shazam!" This may be a reference to {{wp|Captain Marvel}}, the comic book figure who transforms from a young man into an adult superhero at the mention of the name of the wizard who gave him his abilities, Shazam.

===Errors===
* When Poliwrath is fighting [[Ash's Bayleef]], it is the ninth battle that day. Brock says it is Poliwrath's ''eighth'' battle.
* When [[Nurse Joy]] sends over the groups Pokémon, the Poké Balls are missing the outer white circle.
* When Misty calls on Corsola to battle Poliwrath, she sends it out of a regular {{ball|Poké}} instead of the {{ball|Lure}} it is contained in.
* When Team Rocket blasts off, even though {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} isn't out of its Poké Ball, it is seen blasting off with them.
* When Misty sends out her Poliwhirl (while facing [[Delaney]]), the pokeball is missing the button and the outer white circle.

===Dub edits===
* There are a lot of slapping shots in this episode, and two of those shots were deemed "too violent" for the English dub. There are two separate shots of Poliwrath violently slapping Jessie; in one of those shots, she has red spots on her cheeks from Poliwrath's intense slapping. Both of these shots were cut from the dub and replaced with an alternate animation. The same happened with the [[EP001|first]] and [[EP003|third]] episodes, where Misty slapped Ash for letting {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} get hurt.

==Blurb==

Ash, Misty, and Brock are traveling along when they notice a strange shape falling from the sky. They run in to investigate, but soon realized that they were not the only witnesses of this event. Two representatives of an organization devoted to uncovering secrets of the Pokémon world arrive just as our heroes discover that the mysterious falling object was a Cleffa. Though these two Pokémon buffs seem a bit eccentric, Ash and friends share their interest in discovering from whence this Pokémon had come, and so they join forces in investigating a mystery that may shed light even on the very origins of Pokémon life on their planet.

==Plot==
The episode begins with everybody playing and taking a break at night. As {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} watch the moon, they spot a shooting star. The star comes out of orbit heading towards them. Ash begins to wonder if it was a UFO. Something shoots out of the UFO and lands on {{AP|Phanpy}}. Soon the UFO crashes on the other side of the mountain Ash and the gang are near. Soon it is revealed two mysterious people are watching. A {{p|Cleffa}} is revealed to be the thing that landed on Phanpy.

Ash looks Cleffa up in the [[Pokédex]]. Cleffa and Phanpy soon come to like each other. Soon Cleffa points toward the place where the UFO landed longingly. Since Cleffa came from the UFO, the gang thinks it must be a {{p|Clefairy}} spaceship. Ash and {{ashfr}} decide to get Cleffa back to its pals. {{TRT}} is soon watching and decides to get Cleffa. Just then, two people run up to Cleffa and start studying it. They reveal themselves to be {{OBP|Ken|PMC}} and {{OBP|Mary|PMC}} of the [[Pokémon Mystery Club]]. They ask to take Cleffa, except Ash thinks they could be members of Team Rocket. Upon hearing this they say Team Rocket is horrible.

When they hear this, Team Rocket reveals themselves and are angry. Then they recite the {{motto}}. The PMC is angry and reveals their machine. The machine shoots out a net, and Phanpy runs off with Cleffa on its back. {{AP|Pikachu}} uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} creating smoke and Ash, Misty and Brock run off. While Ash and the gang head toward the mountain, Team Rocket cannot find Phanpy and Cleffa, so they use a divining stick to show which way they went. As they begin to head that way, PMC appears and shows another machine. It looks like a satellite. It shows them where Cleffa is. Then they bring out another machine, which bears a certain resemblance to a snowplow. It quickly catches up to Phanpy and Cleffa at a cliff. Phanpy looks around and knocks over a tree as a bridge and walks across it.

PMC tries to use harpoons to get to the other side of the cliff but Team Rocket catches up and blasts away the harpoons. PMC inserts a plunger into the blaster and fires it at Team Rocket. Soon Ash and {{ashfr}} show up and sneak away while the two teams are fighting. Meanwhile, Phanpy and Cleffa come to a hill. Soon, so does Ash and the gang. They see a spaceship at the bottom. It proves to be the same Clefairy spaceship they saw before. Soon Ash and his friends see Phanpy and Cleffa. Just as Cleffa and the Clefairy are reuniting, PMC shows up!

Soon Team Rocket shows up in the [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]]. It then transforms into a robot and tries to grab Cleffa. Phanpy gets in the way and is just thrown aside. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt but is useless, as the machine is electricity-proof. The Clefairy soon head into the action. PMC unleashes yet another machine. It seems to be a truck with grappling arms. The Meowth robot wrestles violently with the truck. Soon Team Rocket decide to activate a cannon. But the {{p|Clefairy}} are taking apart the machine to build their spaceship. Upon seeing this, PMC is confident but then realize the Clefairy are doing the same to them.

Soon the spaceship is finished and Phanpy rushes Cleffa to the ship as it starts to take off. The ship begins to fall apart! Soon PMC and Team Rocket work together and head toward the spaceship. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Phanpy uses {{m|Rollout}}, energizing the ship and blasting off Team Rocket and PMC. The Clefairy ship soon begins to take off, and with Cleffa and Phanpy saying goodbye, Cleffa evolves and goes inside the spaceship. Phanpy begins to cry and Ash cheers it up. Later, PMC finds crop circles created by a {{p|Snorlax}}.

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:33, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

== Errors ==

Please make sure there is no fault with the copy of the episode you have, as the sound delays and graphical glitches could be because your tape or dvd is faulty. Please ensure that this is not the case before adding anymore errors.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:35, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

== Few Things ==

* Know the difference between its and it's. '''Its''' is the possessive whilst '''it's''' is the contraction of '''it is'''. Example: "It's a Fire type Pokémon", "Its Fire type moves are extremely powerful".
* Know the difference between there, they're and their. '''There''' is the pronoun, '''They're''' is the contraction of '''They are''' and '''Their''' is the possessive. Example: "The trainers are over there", "They're really strong", "Their Pokémon is strong".
* Always capitalize names and places. Ash, Mahogany Town, Misty, Brock etc.
* Use {{bp|List of link templates}}.
* A Pokémon saying its name but not moving its mouth is not an error. It is common for Pokémon to do that.
Thank you for reading this. Make sure you've read the {{bp|Manual of Style}} and happy editing.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:27, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Thank you very much for clarifying this information to me, I very well do understand english. The reason for my stupid mistakes are because of my lack of time, my boss expects me to do long hours of work and I can't spend all my time on editing. If I do make any silly mistakes please inform me and next time I will make sure they're no mistakes in my work.

It starts off with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} resting in a [[Unnamed island (PK04)|camping site]]. All of their Pokémon are sleeping. A group of {{p|Ledyba}} flew by, waking [[Misty's Togetic|Togepi]]. Togepi jumps up and watches them. Then Togepi yawns and falls back down a hill, waking {{AP|Pikachu}} and the rest of the group’s Pokémon. They, then go after Togepi and while exploring, find themselves lost. Togepi continues to roll down, hitting a lost {{MTR}} on the way. They both fall down a tree stump. The group’s Pokémon are calling for Togepi, but don’t get a response. {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} then comes running down the hill and knocks Pikachu and the others down the tree stump. The tree stump leads off a mountain. Some Ledyba catch them just before they hit the ground. The Ledyba drop them off in some leaves. They then come face to face with an {{p|Elekid}}. It and Pikachu start to fight and Meowth is seen stuck on a tree branch. He screams for help, waking a {{p|Gyarados}}, who attacks, though Meowth escapes.

Back with the group, Pikachu and the rest follow Elekid to a tree, where Togepi can be seen with some {{p|Exeggcute}}. Pikachu runs up the tree, but the Exeggcute stop him. {{AP|Bulbasaur}} then uses {{m|Vine Whip|his vines}} to grab Togepi, but one of the Exeggcute bites his vine. {{AP|Squirtle}} then notices that one egg is missing. It seems that they want Togepi to fill the spot. The group searches for the lost Exeggcute.

{{p|Bellossom}} make an appearance, putting on a show the group. When finished, the group meets some {{p|Clefairy}}, who use {{m|Metronome}}, which turns into {{m|Explosion}}. This blows a hole in the cave, throwing the gang in the air. Pikachu and Elekid both collide with Meowth. They fall onto a {{p|Snorlax}}, bouncing off it, and into Gyarados's waterfall. The trio have a fight over who gets to ride Gyarados. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, causing Meowth to blast off. Pikachu and Elekid meet up with the rest of the group again. A storm begins to stir, almost forcing the Exeggcute out of the tree. The group, as well as many forest Pokémon, try to help the Exeggcute. Thunder brews, and a strike of lightning hits the tree, causing a fire. Squirtle and {{TP|Tracey|Marill}} put the fire out by using their {{m|Water Gun}}s. The nest with Togepi in it then blows away. Bulbasaur uses his vines to catch the nest. Now, Bulbasaur start to blow away, so all the Pokémon create a chain to save him. Finally, the sun then comes out, and {{p|Dragonair}} flies across the rainbow, Pikachu grabs Togepi in happiness. The Exeggcute are still missing one of their eggs. A {{p|Chansey}} then returns the last egg that she'd been looking after. The Exeggcute jump around a {{Evostone|Leaf Stone}} in joy, and while doing so they evolve into {{p|Exeggutor}}. The group says their farewells and return to their Trainers.

==Trivia==
* The "welcome song" that the Tree residents sing to Pikachu and his group when they arrive also played in the background of the main menu for the DVD of ''Pokémon the Movie 2000''.
* Although Exeggutor is usually described as having three heads, this is the first time an Exeggutor in the anime is confirmed to have only three heads, as all [[EP043|Exeggutor]] [[EP075|seen]] [[EP103|previously]] have had at least 4-6 heads.
* In the episode ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Tracey shows Professor Oak a sketch of a mystery Pokémon that was an Elekid. It may have been the same one that appears in this short.
* The Butterfree seen are of the normal variation, rather than the Orange Islands variation.
* This was adapted into a full color manga in [[All That Pikachu!]].
* In one scene you could here a crow in the background.

===Errors===
* Numerous {{p|Poliwhirl}} are seen saying ''"{{p|Poliwrath}}"'', and a {{p|Poliwag}} says "Poliwhirl."
* While the various Pokémon are dancing for Pikachu and friends, Elekid is seen with holes in its horns. However, upon turning its head, the holes are missing from the other side.
* While protecting the eggs, a {{p|Pidgey}} uses the sound clip of a {{p|Fearow}}.
* While {{p|Exeggcute}} is evolving, the {{p|Pidgey}}'s belly is brown instead of the normal yellow.

===Dub edits===
* In the original, the [[narrator]] described the events of the short. The narration is removed in the dub.

Togepi jumps up and watches them. Then Togepi yawns and falls back down a hill, waking {{AP|Pikachu}} and the rest of the group’s Pokémon. They, then go after Togepi and while exploring, find themselves lost. Togepi continues to roll down, hitting a lost {{MTR}} on the way. They both fall down a tree stump. The group’s Pokémon are calling for Togepi, but don’t get a response. {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} then comes running down the hill and knocks Pikachu and the others down the tree stump. The tree stump leads off a mountain. Some Ledyba catch them just before they hit the ground. The Ledyba drop them off in some leaves. They then come face to face with an {{p|Elekid}}. It and Pikachu start to fight and Meowth is seen stuck on a tree branch. He screams for help, waking a {{p|Gyarados}}, who attacks, though Meowth escapes.

Back with the group, Pikachu and the rest follow Elekid to a tree, where Togepi can be seen with some {{p|Exeggcute}}. Pikachu runs up the tree, but the Exeggcute stop him. {{AP|Bulbasaur}} then uses {{m|Vine Whip|his vines}} to grab Togepi, but one of the Exeggcute bites his vine. {{AP|Squirtle}} then notices that one egg is missing. It seems that they want Togepi to fill the spot. The group searches for the lost Exeggcute.

{{p|Bellossom}} make an appearance, putting on a show the group. When finished, the group meets some {{p|Clefairy}}, who use {{m|Metronome}}, which turns into {{m|Explosion}}. This blows a hole in the cave, throwing the gang in the air. Pikachu and Elekid both collide with Meowth. They fall onto a {{p|Snorlax}}, bouncing off it, and into Gyarados's waterfall. The trio have a fight over who gets to ride Gyarados. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, causing Meowth to blast off. Pikachu and Elekid meet up with the rest of the group again. A storm begins to stir, almost forcing the Exeggcute out of the tree. The group, as well as many forest Pokémon, try to help the Exeggcute. Thunder brews, and a strike of lightning hits the tree, causing a fire. Squirtle and {{TP|Tracey|Marill}} put the fire out by using their {{m|Water Gun}}s. The nest with Togepi in it then blows away. Bulbasaur uses his vines to catch the nest. Now, Bulbasaur start to blow away, so all the Pokémon create a chain to save him. Finally, the sun then comes out, and {{p|Dragonair}} flies across the rainbow, Pikachu grabs Togepi in happiness. The Exeggcute are still missing one of their eggs. A {{p|Chansey}} then returns the last egg that she'd been looking after. The Exeggcute jump around a {{Evostone|Leaf Stone}} in joy, and while doing so they evolve into {{p|Exeggutor}}. The group says their farewells and return to their Trainers.

==Trivia==
* The "welcome song" that the Tree residents sing to Pikachu and his group when they arrive also played in the background of the main menu for the DVD of ''Pokémon the Movie 2000''.
* Although Exeggutor is usually described as having three heads, this is the first time an Exeggutor in the anime is confirmed to have only three heads, as all [[EP043|Exeggutor]] [[EP075|seen]] [[EP103|previously]] have had at least 4-6 heads.
* In the episode ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Tracey shows Professor Oak a sketch of a mystery Pokémon that was an Elekid. It may have been the same one that appears in this short.
* The Butterfree seen are of the normal variation, rather than the Orange Islands variation.
* This was adapted into a full color manga in [[All That Pikachu!]].

===Errors===
* Numerous {{p|Poliwhirl}} are seen saying ''"{{p|Poliwrath}}"'', and a {{p|Poliwag}} says "Poliwhirl."
* While the various Pokémon are dancing for Pikachu and friends, Elekid is seen with holes in its horns. However, upon turning its head, the holes are missing from the other side.
* While protecting the eggs, a {{p|Pidgey}} uses the sound clip of a {{p|Fearow}}.
* While {{p|Exeggcute}} is evolving, the {{p|Pidgey}}'s belly is brown instead of the normal yellow.
* Some of the pokemon shown in this episode dont move their mouth while making noises.

===Dub edits===
* In the original, the [[narrator]] described the events of the short. The narration is removed in the dub.

'''Pikachu's Vacation''' (Japanese: '''ピカチュウのなつやすみ''' ''Pikachu's Summer Vacation'') is the first [[Pikachu short]]. It debuted in Japanese theaters on July 18, 1998, and then made its way to North American theaters on November 10, 1999.

''Pikachu's Vacation'' was shown with the [[Pokémon movie]] ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

==Plot==
This is the first of several Pikachu-focused mini-episodes that accompany several of the feature films. During changing of scenes, various Pokémon clips appear. This also introduced then-new Pokémon {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Marill}}. Ash's [[Pokédex]] narrates the short. {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} release their Pokémon to spend the day at a [[Pokémon Theme Park|theme park for Pokémon]]. With {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}} leading, all of the Pokémon dance their way to the theme park.

However, upon arriving, all of them stampede off to look for fun, except Pikachu, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} who have to look after Togepi when it gets hungry and bursts into tears. Squirtle and Pikachu attempt to make Togepi happy by making faces at it, but Squirtle's scary face makes it even worse. Upset, Squirtle walks off but then spies an apple on a tree. Bulbasaur gets it down using {{m|Razor Leaf}} but it rolls over to Psyduck who eats it and wanders off, Togepi bursting into tears again. Bulbasaur, however, uses his {{m|Vine Whip}} and rocks Togepi to sleep by singing a lullaby (which Dexter names the Bulbaby).

Togepi has fallen asleep, but is awakened by a quartet of loud Pokémon: {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Snubbull}}, {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Cubone}}. Pikachu approaches and asks them to be quieter, but instead, the four get aggressive. After the quartet started arguing with Bulbasaur and Squirtle, Pikachu tries to make peace stating that since they're older, they should set a better example for the baby. Togepi wanders off onto a log which starts rolling down a river, Pikachu crazily trying to stay on, but eventually falls into the river and watches the log roll off and hit a nearby swimming pool. Thankfully, Togepi gets off the log safely. Pikachu retrieves Togepi, but finds Bulbasaur, Squirtle and the bullying Pokémon squaring off against each other.

Squirtle and Marill challenge each other to a race across a crowded swimming pool. Pikachu starts off the race with the help of {{p|Electrode}} who rolls and explodes. Squirtle and Marill race across the pool, Marill being blown across the pool by an angry {{p|Starmie}} and Squirtle ends up getting caught on the back of a {{p|Goldeen}}. Squirtle escapes and speeds across the pool, but discovers Marill has already won.
[[File:Raichu Pikachu running.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu and Raichu's unstoppable race]]
The two groups continue to square off, Pikachu not wanting any more competition. Raichu's sparks out lightning bolts which scare Togepi. Pikachu hugs it, only for the two to get electrocuted by Raichu. Pikachu finally snaps and gets angry. Pikachu and Raichu attempt to overpower each other with their sparking cheeks, and instead speed off across the park, causing mayhem. {{MTR}}, {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} are trying to sleep but are continuously disrupted by Pikachu and Raichu. The battle concludes with the two stepping on the tail of {{AP|Charizard}}, who chases them, but the two are going so fast that they outrun it. Eventually, the two are crushed by a {{p|Snorlax}}. The others rush to help but all watch Charizard hurtle out of control and gets its head stuck in a climbing frame.

Pikachu and all of its gathered friends (minus Staryu and Goldeen) attach a rope to Charizard's foot and try to pull it out, but Charizard's frantic panicking causes them all to fly backwards. Charizard begins to cry so Pikachu manages to enlist the help of the bullying Pokémon who apologize for their previous actions - all except Cubone, who follows its nature of only caring for itself. However, Cubone eventually helps. Charizard is eventually pulled out, but it sends all the Pokémon flying through the air. Charizard flies off, taking Psyduck with it. Meowth, who has been disrupted from his sleep multiple times, brings out a bomb to stop all the noise, but Charizard lands on him and Meowth is blown up underneath Charizard.

In the end, all the Pokémon help rebuild the destroyed climbing frame and spend the rest of the day having fun. As the sun sets, all the Pokémon hear their Trainers calling and all leave. Before Pikachu leaves, he shakes hands with Snubbull, the five becoming friends. Pikachu hops off as its new friends wave farewell. The short ends with Pikachu leaping into Ash's arms for an exchanged hug.

===Errors===
* When all of {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}}'s Pokémon stampede into the park, [[Misty's Psyduck]] is seen running over {{AP|Pikachu}}. However, in the next frame, Psyduck is seen standing right behind Pikachu.
* In the logo, the é in Pokémon is not e-acute, thus making it "Pokemon".
*In one scene, an Eevee in the background has white eyes instead of black.
* Most of the sounds in this episode are delayed by a couple of seconds.
** This may of been an issue while making the english dub.

===Dub edits===
Ash's [[Pokédex]], Dexter, acts as a narrator of sorts in the short, giving out various facts about the featured Pokémon and their behavior. These facts include:
* Togepi is identified as the Egg Pokémon, although the species was later identified as the Spike Ball Pokémon. Togepi is also mentioned to have a low tolerance for hunger.
* Bulbasaur performs a calming melody for Togepi, identified by Dexter as the "Bulbaby".
* Snubbull was identified as a "newly discovered" Pokémon.
* The Pokédex is shown to be able to translate Pokémon languages.

Hi there my name is Seigelord99 and this is my userpage on bulbapedia, I started of at bulbapedia this year (still being a rookie), and I very much enjoy making edits. The thing that enjoy most about bulbapedia is finding out errors made during each episode in the anime, and many other things... Now that my into is over I'm going to tell you my love of pokemon over the years and how it became a big factor in my life. But first let me tell you about my life...

* I am a male
* I am from an italian background
* I am a busy person, especially having very long occupation hours.
* My favourite animals are dogs and monkeys
* My favourite food is chicken, lots of italian foods (most that you probably wont understand) and my absolute favourite food is chilly.

I was a big fan of pokemon since I was around 8 years old, when I was younger I enjoyed playing the games at my cousins house, my first I even played was pokemon gold. But as time flies by people become older and unfortunately I grew up as well leaving behind my childhood including pokemon. But somehow I started liking pokemon again. But since I am much older now , I can be quite busy, so it was a very hard decision to be apart of bulbapedia. Joining up was an awesome experience but my limitation of time causes my work to be a bit rushed. (page still under construction more coming soon)

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

In the midst of their travels, Ash and friends meet up with a young girl who, along with her two Igglybuff assistants, stars in her own musical variety television program. Our heroes are content to sit back and enjoy the show, but unfortunately Team Rocket has other plans in mind. Unable to steal the show, Jessie and James content themselves by stealing the young girl's Pokémon instead. As Ash and friends run to her assistance, Jigglypuff shows up, disgruntled at having been left out of the show.

==Plot==
{{Incomplete plot}}
In the midst of their travels, {{Ash}} gets hungry, so they go to get lunch. But, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} runs off and meets a young girl named {{jo|Brittany}} practicing with her twin {{p|Igglybuff}}. She stars in her own musical variety television program along with her two Igglybuff. {{an|Jigglypuff}} shows up and begins to sing, but Ash snatches her microphone and stashes it in his [[bag|backpack]]. Jigglypuff is jealous of Brittany's Igglybuff, so she bullies them when Ash and {{ashfr}} aren't looking.

{{TRT}} spies on them like usual and [[Jessie]] daydreams of having her own show with the Igglybuff. Ash and friends are enjoying the show, but Team Rocket appears, in costume on a platform, singing their {{motto}}. {{TP|James|Weezing}} uses {{m|SmokeScreen}} to distract Ash and others while they take Brittany's Igglybuff and accidentally Jigglypuff. Ash, Misty, and Brittany go to rescue Brittany's Igglybuff while {{an|Brock}} entertains the audience. The audience appear to love Brock at first, but Brock keeps singing the same song over and over again. They eventually get tired of his singing and so does Brock. Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and Brittany finds Team Rocket and battles them. When Ash, Misty, and Brittany come back, Brock is more than happy to have Brittany take over the show.

Finally, Ash and friends get to sit back and relax. Jigglypuff goes backstage to retrieve her microphone by going into Ash's, Brock's, and Misty's backpacks. She appears on the stage and starts to sing. At the end of the episode, Jigglypuff walks away; appearing upset. Everyone in the audience, including Brittany and her Igglypuff, are shown with their faces drawn on by Jigglypuff.

==Trivia==
* The songs featured in this episode are an instrumental version of ''[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]'', ''[[Summer Vacation Fan Club]]'', ''[[Mama's Dear Pokémon]]'', ''[[Team Rocket Forever]]'', and ''[[Takeshi's Paradise]]''.
* This episode features the dub debut of ''Takeshi's Paradise''.
* The dub episode's title is derived from the {{wp|Same Old Song and Dance|song}} with the same name from {{wp|Aerosmith}}.
* This episode marks the first time that the narrator is affected by Jigglypuff's song.
* In the song "[[Team Rocket Forever]]" Jessie and James sing "We're tired of our motto so we thought we'd try a song!" but they end up saying their motto anyway.
* This episode features another instance of the [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaking of the fourth wall]], when {{TRT}} sings that they plan "to be the stars of this cartoon".
** Another example of breaking the fourth wall in this episode is when misty says to team rocket, " you three aren't on the program you know".
* When Jigglypuff goes through Misty's bag she finds the handkerchief that Misty gives to Ash right before they say their goodbyes.
[[File:EP243 error.png|thumb|right|200px|The additional Jigglypuff]]
* Music from ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' can be heard in this episode.
*This is the second to last time Jigglypuff appeared, followed by [[AG039|''A Pokeblock Party!'']].
*This episode is featured with the VCD/DVD set of ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]''.
* This episode is one of the few times team rocket do a song instead of their motto.

===Errors===
* During Brittany's first on-stage performance, before Jigglypuff goes to retrieve its microphone, the Igglybuff twins are missing from their pedestals.
* Misty instructs Poliwhirl to use {{m|Water Gun}} on Wobbuffet who in turn uses {{m|Counter}} when it should have been {{m|Mirror Coat}} for it to work.
** As Misty does so, she pulls out a [[Poké Ball]], as if she were about to send out another Pokémon.
* When Jessie tells Wobbuffet to use Counter again, the glove on her left hand disappears.
* After [[James's Weezing]] uses {{m|SmokeScreen}} and Team Rocket escape, Jigglypuff is seen behind Brittany. However Jigglypuff was taken by Team Rocket by mistake and is in their bag at the same time.
** This may have been a confusion from the previous scene when jigglypuff hid behind Brittany.
* When Misty throws {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}'s [[Poké Ball]], it is shown as a regular {{ball|Poké}}, instead of a {{ball|Lure}}.
* When [[James]] sends out weezing it doesn't move it's mouth while making a noise.

In the midst of their travels, {{Ash}} gets hungry, so they go to get lunch. But, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} runs off and meets a young girl named {{jo|Brittany}} practicing with her twin {{p|Igglybuff}}. She stars in her own musical variety television program along with her two Igglybuff. {{an|Jigglypuff}} shows up and begins to sing, but Ash snatches her microphone and stashes it in his [[bag|backpack]]. Jigglypuff is jealous of Brittany's Igglybuff, so she bullies them when Ash and {{ashfr}} aren't looking.

{{TRT}} spies on them like usual and [[Jessie]] daydreams of having her own show with the Igglybuff. Ash and friends are enjoying the show, but Team Rocket appears, in costume on a platform, singing their {{motto}}. {{TP|James|Weezing}} uses {{m|SmokeScreen}} to distract Ash and others while they take Brittany's Igglybuff and accidentally Jigglypuff. Ash, Misty, and Brittany go to rescue Brittany's Igglybuff while {{an|Brock}} entertains the audience. The audience appear to love Brock at first, but Brock keeps singing the same song over and over again. They eventually get tired of his singing and so does Brock. Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and Brittany finds Team Rocket and battles them. When Ash, Misty, and Brittany come back, Brock is more than happy to have Brittany take over the show.

Finally, Ash and friends get to sit back and relax. Jigglypuff goes backstage to retrieve her microphone by going into Ash's, Brock's, and Misty's backpacks. She appears on the stage and starts to sing. At the end of the episode, Jigglypuff walks away; appearing upset. Everyone in the audience, including Brittany and her Igglypuff, are shown with their faces drawn on by Jigglypuff.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Brock rarely meets a girl whom he doesn't find bewitching, but on encountering a particular young woman, even Ash and Misty can't deny that there is something magical about her. This is all explained when the young trainer explains that she is a practitioner of Pokémon magic. Excited to see the completion of a spell that promises to allow humans to understand the feelings and thoughts of Pokémon, Ash and friends embark on a quest to gather the hodgepodge of Pokémon-related ingredients required for the spell. Can anyone spare any Gloom nectar? What about iron shavings sorted by a Magnemite?

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are wandering around in a forest on their way to [[Blackthorn City]]. Just then a {{p|Murkrow}} approaches them and starts jabbering. Then a girl comes running out from the clearing exclaiming she finally found a Pikachu.

The girl introduces herself to Ash and his friends as {{jo|Lily}}, a Pokémon magician. She searches far and wide for bizarre things from different Pokémon such as a {{m|Thunderbolt}} from Pikachu. Of course, {{an|Misty}} asks Lily to perform magic for her because ever since she was little she'd always dreamed about being a Pokémon magician. Lily asks Misty if she'd like a smoother complexion. She says that she would. So Lily puts everything together and says a magic chant and a lot of smoke rises from the pot. When this happens a bunch of {{p|Spinarak}} appear and use {{m|String Shot}}, covering Misty with it. The main reason Misty doesn't like this is that she is afraid of bugs.

Later, Lily announces that she needs {{m|Stun Spore}} from a {{p|Parasect}}. Ash volunteers gracefully to get it for her. He finds one and challenges it to a battle. At first it tries spraying Ash with {{m|Sleep Powder}} but luckily Murkrow blows it away. Then Parasect finally uses Stun Spore and Lily obtains it with a vacuum.

Just then a long mechanical arm swoops Pikachu into the sky. It's {{TRT}}, as usual. Lily notices {{MTR}} and wants to get the dirt from its claws, so she sends Murkrow to get it. Instead, it makes a hole in their balloon, sending them blasting off again. Pikachu falls from their clutches and into Ash's arms.

Team Rocket is seen slumped precariously over a rock ledge on top of a tall cliff. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} pops out of its [[Poké Ball]] and adds more weight, and the ledge starts to crack. Lily, Ash, and his friends catch up to Team Rocket and Lily goes and gets the dirt from Meowth's claws, and as soon as she gets off the ledge, it breaks, and Team Rocket goes crashing into the bushes below.

Later, {{an|Brock}} asks Lily what else she needs and she tells the crew that she needs the tears of an {{p|Aipom}}. Ash then asks if once she has the tears she'll be able to perform her magic and read the minds of Pokémon. She says yes. Ash calls out and tells an Aipom to come out, which actually happens! However, it runs off so the group splits up to catch it. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] happen to pop out of the bushes behind them after they leave. They heard about the spell, so they set out to capture the Aipom and Lily's bag and book so they can make a lot of money. When Aipom lets its guard down, Ash, Misty, Brock and Lily charge at it. A net grabs Aipom and they smack heads instead. Team Rocket strikes again in their balloon and Meowth uses the long arm to get Lily's bag. Then they recite their motto. She orders Murkrow to get her bag back but Meowth uses the arm and it punches Murkrow knocking it out. Jessie and James then make their getaway.

Team Rocket lands their balloon and Meowth is rooting through Lily's bag and grumbling that it's nothing but junk. Jessie and James are looking at the book which Jessie doesn't understand because it's written in an ancient language. But James understands part of it. Jessie gets fed up, and so, to get Aipom to cry, gets ready to punch it, but James stops her. She asks him what his problem is. He tells her to look at the ancient book and she tells him that she could read tea leaves more easily than reading the book. James goes on to tell her that tears achieved through violence won't work.

So Team Rocket tries to figure out what they can do to make Aipom cry. James starts off by telling a bunch of corny jokes but instead it makes Aipom yawn. Then Meowth tells a story about a boy and his mother reuniting. It makes Meowth and James cry, but Aipom is still bored out of its mind. Jessie tells them they'll never jerk any tears from Aipom using clichéd storylines and overblown dramatics.

During this time Ash and his friends are looking for Team Rocket but turn up nothing but then Murkrow spots something.

Now it was Jessie's turn to tell a story. She tells a story about a prince and princess and if she couldn't be his princess that her end was near. Anyway after her performance Aipom is fast asleep so Jessie gets angry and picks up Aipom to try and punch it again but once again James stops her.

Just then Ash and his friends catch up to Team Rocket and demand that the stolen stuff to be given back. As usual, this is where they start a Pokémon battle. Lily uses {{m|Icy Wind}} against Jessie's Arbok's {{m|Poison Sting}} which sends Arbok flying into the balloon basket. Then it's Ash's Pikachu against [[James's Weezing]]. Weezing uses {{m|Sludge}} attack and Pikachu uses Thunderbolt until Weezing runs out of sludge. During this, Brock frees Aipom. Then Lily has Murkrow use {{m|Swift}} against Weezing. Weezing rams Team Rocket into the basket. Pikachu then uses {{m|Thunder}} on Team Rocket and the balloon which makes it blow up and sends them blasting off again.
[[File:Ashachu.png|thumb|200px|right|Ash as a Pikachu]]
Of course, Aipom finds this funny, laughing so hard that it produces tears of mirth. Ash quickly grabs a jar and tries to catch a tear but he trips and takes a nose dive on the ground so Pikachu quickly grabs the jar and catches the tear. Both Lily and Ash thank Pikachu.

Now the magic begins. Lily mixes in all the ingredients for the spell and then she asks who will volunteer. Ash begs to be picked, so Lily picks him. He finishes the spell with Pikachu's Thunderbolt. A lot of yellow smoke surrounds Ash and he comments that he felt a little like he's getting into Pikachu's mind. Then Lily, Misty and Brock gasp.

Ash asks what happened. He looks up to his friends and asked them how they got so big. Then the camera cuts to Ash and zooms out to reveal that he was turned into [[Ashachu|a Pikachu]]! He wants to know why they were looking at him so funny so Misty gets out her mirror and shows him. Ash sees what has happened, and freaks! Lily explains this wasn't supposed to happen but when she looks in her book, the next page is covered in slop that makes reading the page impossible. Misty asks Lily if Ash will be a Pikachu permanently but she says of course not, just until the spell wears off. Ash calms down and says, "In that case this is awesome! I'm a Pikachu!" He goes off to play with Pikachu, Murkrow, and {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}}. Misty and Brock exclaimed that the spell probably worked; after all, Ash was inside the mind of Pikachu. Brock adds that Ash is certainly ''thinking'' like one. The episode closes with Ash, Murkrow, Pikachu, and Togepi playing together.

==Trivia==
* This is the first time a human is transformed into a Pokémon. The concept would later be explored further in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] game series and its adaptations.
* The English title for this episode is a reference to the magic words "{{wp|Hocus pocus}}".
* After the second time Jessie tried to punch tears out of the Aipom, Meowth warned, "No tears for fears!", referencing the band ''{{wp|Tears for Fears}}''. The band would later be referenced in the [[DP053|episode of the same name]].
* Meowth's puppet theater act appears to be a reference to {{wp|Isao Takahata}}'s {{wp|3000 Leagues in Search of Mother}}.
* A nonexistent move is used in this episode, Pikachu's "Thunderspark".
* At one point, Meowth says, "A little jab will do ya." This is a reference to the Brylcreem slogan, "A little dab will do ya."

===Errors===
* In the scene where Ashachu tells Pikachu, Togepi, and Murkrow to play, when the scene goes back to Misty and Brock, Togepi is seen in Misty's hands.
** Also, Murkrow is seen to come out of nowhere when {{Ash}} calls all the Pokémon.
* When James sends out Weezing, it doesn't move it's mouth while making a noise.
* In the scene where Team Rocket blasts off, Weezing disappears despite being in the balloon in the scene before.
* Near the end of the episode, {{an|Brock}} mispronounces Ash's name and calls him "Ass".

===Dub edits===
[[File:EP241 Deleted Scene.png|thumb|200px|right|Deleted scene]]
* In the Japanese version, there was a picture of Jynx in Lily's book. The dub replaced it with a flower kissed by a Jynx.
* After Misty was attacked by the Spinarak, there was a short scene cut in the English dub. In this scene, everybody feels sorry for her because she has arachnophobia. The frequently used "clock" transition and part of the first shot of the next scene, a pan down to the main characters are both cut from the dub.

'''Some Like it Hot''' (Japanese: '''マグカルゴ！あついこころでゲットだぜ！！''' ''{{tt|Magcargot|Magcargo}}! Getting the Hot Heart!!'') is the 240th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on March 14, 2002 and in the United States on March 29, 2003.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash, Misty, and Brock face many roadblocks on the path to success, some metaphoric and others in the form of gigantic Magcargo that refuse to step aside and let a traveler pass. When Misty's Water tactics fail to move the stubborn Fire Pokémon, a passing trainer taunts her, declaring that Fire Pokémon, his specialty, are far superior to Water. Their rivalry escalates into a full-on Pokémon battle, from which Misty emerges victorious. The Fire Pokémon trainer doesn't hold a grudge for too long, though, and in the end an unlikely collaboration between Fire and Water reopens the path to the Johto League.

==Plot==
As usual, {{Ash}} is earnestly talking about his next Badge, while {{an|Misty}} is complaining about the heat. {{an|Brock}} points out that there are volcanoes and hot springs around, which didn't please Misty at all.

{{TRT}} are relaxing at the hot springs when {{MTR}} spots Ash and {{ashfr}}. However, they did not pursue them and go back to relaxing. A huge geyser erupts beneath them, sending them off to the air.

Misty and Ash get into an argument because of the heat. When a {{p|Magcargo}} appears, Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] for information about it. Brock notices more Magcargo around.

The gang gets to a better and cooler place, but a sleeping Magcargo was blocking the road. Ash yells at it and as a result, the Magcargo uses {{m|Flamethrower}} at them. Ash and the gang manage to avoid it and started yelling at it. The Magcargo gets angry and attacks them again with Flamethrower to scare them away. After that, it goes back to sleep.

Ash decides to battle it, but Misty tells him that she'll handle it instead because a Fire type like Magcargo is weak against a Water type. She is about to send out {{p|Poliwhirl}} when {{p|Psyduck}} comes out. Psyduck approaches Magcargo and wakes it up. Next, the duck runs back to Misty and hides behind her. Misty then sends out Poliwhirl and tells it to use {{m|Water Gun}}. Magcargo immediately withdraws into its shell to avoid the water. When it comes out of hiding, it uses {{m|Rock Slide}}. Poliwhirl avoids the attacks Magcargo throws at it, but it fails to avoid the Flamethrower attack.

A little boy appears and makes fun of Misty's battle techniques. Misty gets angry at him. The boy declares that he is going to jump off the cliff, although he seems reluctant to do so. When he jumps off, he lands flat on his face. After recovering from his fall, Misty yells at him for making fun of her earlier, but he insults her more.

The Magcargo goes away and the boy blames Misty for that. Misty angrily asks for his name and the boy introduces himself as [[Egan]], the Prince of Fire. Misty proceeds on introducing herself as the Water Princess. The two gets into an argument and ends up challenging each other to a battle. However, Egan states that he has to chase after Magcargo.

Team Rocket, while talking about their refreshing day, gets blast off again when another geyser hits their balloon.

Still sore about Egan, Misty keeps on complaining about him. All of a sudden, Misty and the two boys see Egan coming out of a cave. He asks the gang if they saw Magcargo, but Misty replies by making fun of him. Magcargo then appears and Egan sends out his {{p|Flareon}} to battle. Whenever Flareon uses Flamethrower, Magcargo would use {{m|Withdraw}}. Egan gets more upset. When Magcargo is about to use Body Slam, Misty tells Flareon to dodge it. Egan tells her to stay out of his battle and orders Flareon to attack. Magcargo then knocks Flareon down. Seeing how badly weakened Flareon is, Misty suggests to call it back, but Egan refuses to listen to her. He orders Flareon to attack once more, but Magcargo counters its flames and finally knocks it out. Misty starts to make fun of Egan, and the two starts an argument again. Brock suggests that they should eat. When Egan's stomach growls, Misty makes more fun of him.

Team Rocket are spying on the gang when the Magcargo creeps up from behind them and uses Flamethrower. They all make a run for it with flaming butts.

During mealtime, Misty and Egan surprisingly start to get along. Egan feels guilty for pushing Flareon so hard in battle and says that Flareon is very special to him. After agreeing to stop their rivalry, Egan asks why Misty loves Water types. Misty explains to him that {{t|Water}} Pokémon are very flexible and can easily adapt to any situation.

Later, they encounter Magcargo again. Egan is prepared to challenge it with Flareon. Magcargo attacks with {{m|Rock Slide}}. Egan remembers Misty's advice and tells Flareon what to do. Flareon dodges the rocks and Egan tells it to use Flamethrower. Magcargo withdraws into its shell again, but this time Egan makes sure not to do any reckless moves. Flareon eventually knocks out Magcargo, and Egan successfully captures it.

Just then, Team Rocket steal Magcargo using a giant arm. They do their motto with added lines. Misty quickly sends out Poliwhirl and tells it to use Water Gun. Poliwhirl's Water Gun breaks the mechanical arm, releasing Egan's Poké Ball. Team Rocket calls out their Pokémon and Egan sends out Magcargo. {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s {{m|Poison Sting}} attack is taken care of by Poliwhirl's Water Gun and {{TP|James|Victreebel}}'s {{m|Razor Leaf}} are all burned to a crisp by Magcargo's fire. After that, Poliwhirl and Magcargo combine their attacks, utterly defeating Arbok and Victreebel. Pikachu then uses its {{m|Thunderbolt}} and sends Team Rocket off.

Before going their separate ways, Egan and Misty become friends and promise to have a battle again next time.

==Blurb==

Ash, Misty, and Brock face many roadblocks on the path to success, some metaphoric and others in the form of gigantic Magcargo that refuse to step aside and let a traveler pass. When Misty's Water tactics fail to move the stubborn Fire Pokémon, a passing trainer taunts her, declaring that Fire Pokémon, his specialty, are far superior to Water. Their rivalry escalates into a full-on Pokémon battle, from which Misty emerges victorious. The Fire Pokémon trainer doesn't hold a grudge for too long, though, and in the end an unlikely collaboration between Fire and Water reopens the path to the Johto League.

==Plot==
As usual, {{Ash}} is earnestly talking about his next Badge, while {{an|Misty}} is complaining about the heat. {{an|Brock}} points out that there are volcanoes and hot springs around, which didn't please Misty at all.

{{TRT}} are relaxing at the hot springs when {{MTR}} spots Ash and {{ashfr}}. However, they did not pursue them and go back to relaxing. A huge geyser erupts beneath them, sending them off to the air.

Misty and Ash get into an argument because of the heat. When a {{p|Magcargo}} appears, Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] for information about it. Brock notices more Magcargo around.

The gang gets to a better and cooler place, but a sleeping Magcargo was blocking the road. Ash yells at it and as a result, the Magcargo uses {{m|Flamethrower}} at them. Ash and the gang manage to avoid it and started yelling at it. The Magcargo gets angry and attacks them again with Flamethrower to scare them away. After that, it goes back to sleep.

Ash decides to battle it, but Misty tells him that she'll handle it instead because a Fire type like Magcargo is weak against a Water type. She is about to send out {{p|Poliwhirl}} when {{p|Psyduck}} comes out. Psyduck approaches Magcargo and wakes it up. Next, the duck runs back to Misty and hides behind her. Misty then sends out Poliwhirl and tells it to use {{m|Water Gun}}. Magcargo immediately withdraws into its shell to avoid the water. When it comes out of hiding, it uses {{m|Rock Slide}}. Poliwhirl avoids the attacks Magcargo throws at it, but it fails to avoid the Flamethrower attack.

A little boy appears and makes fun of Misty's battle techniques. Misty gets angry at him. The boy declares that he is going to jump off the cliff, although he seems reluctant to do so. When he jumps off, he lands flat on his face. After recovering from his fall, Misty yells at him for making fun of her earlier, but he insults her more.

The Magcargo goes away and the boy blames Misty for that. Misty angrily asks for his name and the boy introduces himself as [[Egan]], the Prince of Fire. Misty proceeds on introducing herself as the Water Princess. The two gets into an argument and ends up challenging each other to a battle. However, Egan states that he has to chase after Magcargo.

Team Rocket, while talking about their refreshing day, gets blast off again when another geyser hits their balloon.

Still sore about Egan, Misty keeps on complaining about him. All of a sudden, Misty and the two boys see Egan coming out of a cave. He asks the gang if they saw Magcargo, but Misty replies by making fun of him. Magcargo then appears and Egan sends out his {{p|Flareon}} to battle. Whenever Flareon uses Flamethrower, Magcargo would use {{m|Withdraw}}. Egan gets more upset. When Magcargo is about to use Body Slam, Misty tells Flareon to dodge it. Egan tells her to stay out of his battle and orders Flareon to attack. Magcargo then knocks Flareon down. Seeing how badly weakened Flareon is, Misty suggests to call it back, but Egan refuses to listen to her. He orders Flareon to attack once more, but Magcargo counters its flames and finally knocks it out. Misty starts to make fun of Egan, and the two starts an argument again. Brock suggests that they should eat. When Egan's stomach growls, Misty makes more fun of him.

Team Rocket are spying on the gang when the Magcargo creeps up from behind them and uses Flamethrower. They all make a run for it with flaming butts.

During mealtime, Misty and Egan surprisingly start to get along. Egan feels guilty for pushing Flareon so hard in battle and says that Flareon is very special to him. After agreeing to stop their rivalry, Egan asks why Misty loves Water types. Misty explains to him that {{t|Water}} Pokémon are very flexible and can easily adapt to any situation.

Later, they encounter Magcargo again. Egan is prepared to challenge it with Flareon. Magcargo attacks with {{m|Rock Slide}}. Egan remembers Misty's advice and tells Flareon what to do. Flareon dodges the rocks and Egan tells it to use Flamethrower. Magcargo withdraws into its shell again, but this time Egan makes sure not to do any reckless moves. Flareon eventually knocks out Magcargo, and Egan successfully captures it.

Just then, Team Rocket steal Magcargo using a giant arm. They do their motto with added lines. Misty quickly sends out Poliwhirl and tells it to use Water Gun. Poliwhirl's Water Gun breaks the mechanical arm, releasing Egan's Poké Ball. Team Rocket calls out their Pokémon and Egan sends out Magcargo. {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s {{m|Poison Sting}} attack is taken care of by Poliwhirl's Water Gun and {{TP|James|Victreebel}}'s {{m|Razor Leaf}} are all burned to a crisp by Magcargo's fire. After that, Poliwhirl and Magcargo combine their attacks, utterly defeating Arbok and Victreebel. Pikachu then uses its {{m|Thunderbolt}} and sends Team Rocket off.

Before going their separate ways, Egan and Misty become friends and promise to have a battle again next time.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Hardly taking a second to relish his latest gym victory, Ash quickly sets course for the next gym in Blackthorn City. It isn't long, though, before a more immediate challenge confronts his small party. As Ash and friends enter a clearing, they find large numbers of Vileplume and Bellossom preparing to battle. With the help of his Bayleef, Ash is able to settle the disturbance, but afterwards learns from a researcher working in the area that this is a common occurrence. The winds in this area, it seems, carry particulates from the Leaf and Sun Stones that cause Gloom to evolve into either Vileplume or Bellossom. Depending on the wind's direction, different amounts of either stone are scattered over the local Gloom, creating temporary surges in the populations of either of their possible evolutions. Since there is no foreseeable end to this natural state of flux, Ash and friends must end this constant fight for supremacy by convincing these Pokémon to live in harmony despite this trick of the wind that puts one and then the other group in the advantaged position.

==Plot==
{{Incomplete plot}}
While heading toward [[Blackthorn City]] for Ash's final gym badge, Ash and {{ashfr}} come across three sick {{p|Oddish}}. Brock cures them with some special Pokémon food. Ash wonders how the Oddish got sick in the first place, so {{AP|Pikachu}} asks them. The three Oddish lead Ash and his friends over a hill where they find a plain meadow with a huge tree and lots of {{p|Gloom}}, {{p|Vileplume}}, and {{p|Bellossom}}. Soon the Vileplume and Bellossom start fighting. Pikachu fails to break up the fights, so Ash sends in his {{AP|Bayleef}} who separates them with her {{m|Vine Whip}}. Ash tries to get the Pokémon to apologize to each other and make friends with each other, but they refuse.

Afterwards a Pokémon researcher walks up and introduces himself as {{jo|Steven}} and says that he is there to study {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. Steven and {{an|Brock}} explain the concept of branched evolution, and Steven explains that due to tiny fragments of {{evostone|Sun Stone}}s and {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}s in the wind, Gloom evolve into Vileplume when the wind is from the Northeast and Bellossom when the wind is from the Northwest.

Vileplume and Bellossom fight over territory since the very old and enormous tree covers so much of the land; they both need the sun shine, so over the day they fight for the area not covered in shade. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] both get {{m|Stun Spore}}d by the Vileplume and Bellossom, so {{MTR}} goes to a convenient store and buys [[Salveyo weed]]. A major storm comes in and makes very large amounts of Gloom evolve all at once, but since the wind was coming from the North East and North West, they both were even in numbers in the end. The war broke out and Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and Steven all knew they had to fight to finally see that fighting does not solve anything. Jessie and James try with help from their Pokémon to catch the Grass Pokémon.

All the Pokémon know now that they should all just live together peacefully as friends, so they all take on {{TRT}} and make them blast off again! Ash, Misty, and Brock say goodbye to their new friend Steven since this new problem has been solved.

==Trivia==
* ''[[Ready Go!]]'' replaces the Whiteberry version of ''[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]'' as the opening.
* ''[[Pokettari Monsutari]]'' replaces ''[[Face Forward Team Rocket!]]'' as the ending.
* This is the first time Meowth is used to translate human language into Pokémon language. Usually it is the other way around, Meowth translating Pokémon Language into human language.
* This episode's main territorial conflict, between two {{t|Grass}} Pokémon, Bellossom and Vileplume, is similar to that of ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', which was for the most part, between the entire Oddish and {{p|Hoppip}} evolutionary families.

===Errors===
* When Jessie first sends out Arbok, it doesn't move its mouth when it says its name.
* During the storm some Gloom are seen evolving into Vileplume. After that we see some Gloom evolve into Bellossom but the Vileplume that evolved before are not there. Some explanations could be that during the storm the Vileplume left to be with the other Vileplume or that the Gloom that are seen the second time are in a different area. What actually happens is unknown.

===Dub edits===
* The Japanese version of this episode features a different version of Team Rocket's motto while the dub uses the standard lines.
* Also, the Japanese version of Meowth's "boss fantasy" uses romantic-sounding saxophone music in the background.

==Blurb==

Having earned Pryce's respect and permission to face the trainer in a gym battle, Ash makes the unlikely choice of sending out Cyndaquil, a Fire Pokémon, to face his opponent on an Ice battlefield. Fortunately, Ash's strategy pans out as he leads the gym leader to lower his defenses, allowing Ash to take the first victory in a two-on-two match. Next the gym leader sends out his trusty Piloswine, which immediately unleashes a Blizzard attack that completely alters the battlefield, allowing it to make quick work of Ash's defending Pokémon. With one victory each, the round enters sudden death with each trainer playing his oldest, most reliable Pokémon. A seasoned duo, Ash and Pikachu may match the teamwork of the gym leader and his Piloswine, but will this be enough in a slippery ice arena that is second nature to Piloswine, but whereon Pikachu struggles even to stand?

==Plot==
In [[EP237|the last episode]], {{Ash}} has earned [[Pryce]]’s respect and permission to face him in a Gym battle. Pryce is grooming [[Pryce's Piloswine|his Piloswine]] when Ash and {{ashfr}} arrive. They then get ready to start their Gym battle. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} plans to steal all the {{t|Ice}} Pokémon, but keep some for themselves. The Gym battle then begins. Ash makes the smart choice of sending out {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, against Pryce's {{p|Dewgong}}, but at a disadvantage, because he will have to face his opponent on an ice battlefield. Fortunately, Ash’s strategy pans out as he leads the Gym Leader to lower his {{stat|Defense}}s, allowing Ash to take the first victory in a two-on-two match.

Next, Pryce sends out his trusty {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}}. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is about to steal the Pokémon in their trusty net, but they are frozen by them with {{m|Ice Beam}}. We switch back to Piloswine, which immediately unleashes a {{m|Blizzard}} attack that completely alters the battlefield, allowing it to make quick work of Ash’s Cyndaquil. With one victory each, the round enters sudden death with each Trainer playing his oldest, most reliable Pokémon. A seasoned duo, Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} prepare to battle Pryce's Piloswine. Things start out rough when Piloswine releases a barrage of Blizzard attacks on Pikachu, who is still struggling to stand up straight on the ice. After seeing the ice pillars on the battlefield formed by Piloswine's Blizzard, Ash commands Pikachu to slide on the ice underneath Piloswine. This confuses it, as well as Pryce. Then, Pikachu ricochets off of the pillars while sliding, easily dodging the Blizzards. When Pryce tells Piloswine to use Blizzard on the whole battlefield, Pikachu slides under it, and unleashes a powerful {{m|Thunder}}.

Almost out of energy, Piloswine uses {{m|Rest}}. Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}} before it heals, but he's too late, and it uses {{m|Fury Attack}} and {{m|Take Down}}. Pryce tells Ash to give in the towel, but he won't give up. The battle then continues on. Ash commands him to use Quick Attack to counter Piloswine's Fury Attack. A direct hit in the nose, Piloswine slides back. Pikachu unleashes a massive {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which does nothing to it. Piloswine uses Take Down, and Pikachu jumps on its face and uses Thunder. This causes some damage, and creates a hole in the field, putting Piloswine in the water, as Pikachu uses Thunderbolt again, causing more damage because it's all wet. Piloswine shakes it off, leaving Ash and co. surprised. It uses Fury Attack, and Pikachu can't dodge it due to it losing control. Ash commands a Thunder, which sends Pikachu flying backwards. Pikachu looks exhausted, but stands up, ready to fight. Pryce then forfeits, which gives Ash the victory under a {{tt|T.K.O.|Technical Knock Out}}. Ash isn't pleased at first, saying he didn't actually win, but once he hears how much Pryce admired his strength and that he just didn't want his Piloswine to get hurt, he gladly accepts the {{Badge|Glacier|Badge}}.

==Trivia==
* The dub title is a reference to "{{wp|Ice Ice Baby}}", a song by {{wp|Vanilla Ice}}.
* Music from ''[[PK02|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]'', ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back!]]'' and ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' is used in this episode.
* When Jessie finds out about Pryce being the gym leader, she says that Pryce wasn't right, a reference to the game show {{wp|The Price Is Right}}.
* When Pikachu uses Thunderbolt while Piloswine is in the water, Brock says that because of this, Thunderbolt's power is double. Although this isn't true, this is similar to the concept of the move Soak, added in Gen V, which makes the opponent soaking wet, making it pure Water type.
===Errors===
* {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunder}} affects [[Pryce's Piloswine]], although it should not, as Piloswine is a {{type|Ground}}. This might be an example of [[anime physics]].
** Despite this, Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} does nothing to Piloswine.
* In [[who's that pokemon]] , weedle's pupils are inverted.

'''Officer Jenny''' (Japanese: '''ジュンサー''' ''Junsar'', usually referred to as '''ジュンサーさん''' ''Junsar-san'') is the name by which the police officers who use {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in their duties are referred to.

===Character and About===
[[File:Jenny Sugimori.png|thumb|200px|left|Artwork of Jenny by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
[[File:Jenny Blue.png|thumb|200px|left|Officer Jenny before being digitally recolored in [[EP267]]]]

[[File:Officer Jenny anime BW.png|thumb|250px|right|Officer Jenny in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
Officer Jenny is not a single entity. Rather, there are many Jennys working as police officers across the various regions of the [[Pokémon world]].

Generally, Officer Jennys are brave and determined, but can be ineffective in their police duties. They fight against the likes of [[Team Rocket]], [[Team Magma]], [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Galactic]] - among other miscellaneous criminals. Although there are many exceptions, Officer Jenny will generally have {{p|Growlithe}} to use as a police dog.

Although Jennys appear to be identical, there is some minor divergence among them, as evidenced by {{an|Brock}}. Brock is able to recognize different Jennys on numerous occasions; he appears to be the only character who can tell the Officer Jennys apart. The town/region where a certain Jenny comes from can be discerned by the symbol on their hats, which differs depending on location. There seem to be two {{ci|Viridian}} Jennys, as during the [[Indigo League]], two Jennys with the same hat symbol (previously stated to belong to the Viridian City Jenny) were seen side-by-side. The Jennys of the Orange Archipelago are outfitted with uniforms of a distinctly lighter blue color, and the Officer Jenny of [[LaRousse City]] is seen wearing a different uniform to all her counterparts, it being a far more elaborate version than the others (although it does retain the standard coloring and basic design scheme). The [[Unova]] region is home to Officer Jennys that look distinctly different than those of other regions. The Unova Officer Jennys all have a tan-colored uniform, unlike the other Jennys that wore blue. Additionally, the Jennys of Unova don a much shorter hairstyle.

When the series became digitally animated in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', starting with ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]'' Jenny's hair was colored in more of a greenish blue to match her [[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori]] artwork. Before this, her hair appeared to be more blue in color.

There is a very distinct parallel between the families of Officer Jenny, [[Nurse Joy]], [[Don George]] and [[Porter]]. This may indicate some sort of relation or deeper connection. However, the only thing known about the four families is that they are apparently on good terms.

===History===
{{cleanup|section|width=50%}}
Officer Jenny made her first appearance for pokemon in episode 2 of season 1, which is called ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''. She was seen at the beginning of the episode warning the citizens of Viridian City of [[Team Rocket Trio|thieves in the area]] and to report suspicious-looking people immediately. Stopping Ash, who had his {{AP|Pikachu}} in his arms, she suspected him of being a thief, but once she saw his [[Pokédex]], she believed that he was a Pokémon Trainer, while also mentioning that three other Trainers had come through {{ci|Viridian}} that day. Using her motorcycle, she brought Ash to the Pokémon Center, and once Pikachu was in the hands of [[Nurse Joy]], she left. After {{TRT}} broke into the Pokémon Center, however, she made her way back, but appearing just in time to see the center exploding from a combination of Pikachu's {{m|Thunder Shock}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}}'s {{m|Smog}} attacks. She stayed and helped [[Nurse Joy]] through the morning, assuring her that Ash and Misty will have no trouble getting through the [[Viridian Forest]].

In ''[[EP054|The Case of the K-9 Caper!]]'', Officer Jenny was in her training facility where an officer disguised as a thief volunteered to help train the canine police unit. After Ash and his friends mistakened the officer as an actual thief, Officer Jenny recruited them to her training unit. Officer Jenny began training the group at four in the morning in which Ash struggled with the obstacle course. Team Rocket arrive in their van and mess things up using special gas that change voices. They were able to subdue Officer Jenny using the Growlithe they controlled but after remembering the times Growlithe had with Officer Jenny, her Growlithe turned on Team Rocket and the trio fled.

[[Ash's Squirtle]] was loaned to an Officer Jenny who fights fires. It is the leader of a group of four other Squirtle known as the "[[Squirtle Squad]]", who serve as the local firefighting team.

A young Officer Jenny named [[Marble]] appeared in ''[[DP059|Luxray Vision!]]''. She was in charge of looking for "The Bandit Beauties Three."

An Officer Jenny from [[Kanto]] appeared in ''[[DP115|Stealing the Conversation!]]'' with a {{p|Chatot}} as her partner. Apparently, she had come all the way to [[Sinnoh]] to capture [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}.

In ''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!]]'', she and {{p|Manectric}} chased after a smuggler named [[Dolan]] as he was stealing a bunch of {{p|Scatterbug}} and {{p|Spewpa}}. One of the Scatterbug fell out of Dolan's car and when Ash took it to a Pokémon Center, she roped Ash as she thought he was working for Dolan until {{an|Clemont}} cleared the whole situation by saying that the group wanted to help her in stopping Dolan. Officer Jenny, Ash, and {{ashfr}} work together to track the smuggler. As Ash went to an abandoned laboratory and battled Dolan, Officer Jenny appeared and arrested the smuggler. The group release all of the Scatterbug and Spewpa from Dolan's laboratory.

In ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'', Officer Jenny went to investigate at a radio observatory after getting a report that strange things were going on there. In the observatory, she ran into a {{p|Malamar}} who hypnotized her in becoming its accomplice. As a result, she took on the role of '''Madame X''' (Japanese: '''マダムＸ''' ''Madame X''). Later, she went to a dark cave where Team Rocket were watching a video of {{AP|Pikachu}} using his moves. Malamar hypnotized the trio except for Meowth, and Madame X went looking for Ash and his friends with Team Rocket in tow. She found them by a tree and Malamar took Pikachu with them to the radio observatory. Malamar hypnotizes Pikachu and he became under the control of Madame X. When Ash and Meowth arrived, Ash's friends became hypnotized by Malamar and the duo encounter Madame X in the observation chamber. She has Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on his own Trainer but Ash withheld himself and got through Pikachu. The Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device that Clemont built earlier entered the observatory and crashes at Malamar. Officer Jenny went back to normal and she and the gang went after Malamar who led them to a room containing the system of great significance. Since everyone saw what Malamar was doing, it destroyed the mind-control device that it was building and fled.

==In the manga==

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
An Officer Jenny makes a brief cameo in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}. She appears in a helicopter chasing after {{TRT}} in the chapter ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''. Generic police officers appear in the manga as well.

It is stated that {{an|Brock}} is the only character that can tell the Officer Jennys apart.

==Trivia==
* ''[[EP007|In The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', the Officer Jenny of Cerulean City refers to the one in Viridian City as her sister-in-law. This implies that one of them is married, probably the one in Viridian City since the Cerulean Jenny didn't mention a spouse when Brock asked her out.
* Officer Jenny, [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Don George]] all have Japanese names that begin with the kana ジ, while their English names all start with the same sound, {{wp|dʒ}}. They also all happen to be part of a large, extended family.
* Similar to Nurse Joy, Jenny is a last name, Marble being one example.
* The Officer Jennys in [[Kanto]], the [[Orange Islands]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] can be told apart by the design of the symbol on their hat, while the Jennys of [[Unova]] and [[Kalos]] are told apart by the color of the symbol.

'''Nice Pryce, Baby!''' (Japanese: '''チョウジジム！こおりのたたかい！''' ''{{tt|Chōji|Mahogany}} Gym! Ice Battle!'') is the 238th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on February 28, 2002 and in the United States on March 8, 2003.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Having earned Pryce's respect and permission to face the trainer in a gym battle, Ash makes the unlikely choice of sending out Cyndaquil, a Fire Pokémon, to face his opponent on an Ice battlefield. Fortunately, Ash's strategy pans out as he leads the gym leader to lower his defenses, allowing Ash to take the first victory in a two-on-two match. Next the gym leader sends out his trusty Piloswine, which immediately unleashes a Blizzard attack that completely alters the battlefield, allowing it to make quick work of Ash's defending Pokémon. With one victory each, the round enters sudden death with each trainer playing his oldest, most reliable Pokémon. A seasoned duo, Ash and Pikachu may match the teamwork of the gym leader and his Piloswine, but will this be enough in a slippery ice arena that is second nature to Piloswine, but whereon Pikachu struggles even to stand?

==Plot==
In [[EP237|the last episode]], {{Ash}} has earned [[Pryce]]’s respect and permission to face him in a Gym battle. Pryce is grooming [[Pryce's Piloswine|his Piloswine]] when Ash and {{ashfr}} arrive. They then get ready to start their Gym battle. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} plans to steal all the {{t|Ice}} Pokémon, but keep some for themselves. The Gym battle then begins. Ash makes the smart choice of sending out {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, against Pryce's {{p|Dewgong}}, but at a disadvantage, because he will have to face his opponent on an ice battlefield. Fortunately, Ash’s strategy pans out as he leads the Gym Leader to lower his {{stat|Defense}}s, allowing Ash to take the first victory in a two-on-two match.

Next, Pryce sends out his trusty {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}}. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is about to steal the Pokémon in their trusty net, but they are frozen by them with {{m|Ice Beam}}. We switch back to Piloswine, which immediately unleashes a {{m|Blizzard}} attack that completely alters the battlefield, allowing it to make quick work of Ash’s Cyndaquil. With one victory each, the round enters sudden death with each Trainer playing his oldest, most reliable Pokémon. A seasoned duo, Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} prepare to battle Pryce's Piloswine. Things start out rough when Piloswine releases a barrage of Blizzard attacks on Pikachu, who is still struggling to stand up straight on the ice. After seeing the ice pillars on the battlefield formed by Piloswine's Blizzard, Ash commands Pikachu to slide on the ice underneath Piloswine. This confuses it, as well as Pryce. Then, Pikachu ricochets off of the pillars while sliding, easily dodging the Blizzards. When Pryce tells Piloswine to use Blizzard on the whole battlefield, Pikachu slides under it, and unleashes a powerful {{m|Thunder}}.

Almost out of energy, Piloswine uses {{m|Rest}}. Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}} before it heals, but he's too late, and it uses {{m|Fury Attack}} and {{m|Take Down}}. Pryce tells Ash to give in the towel, but he won't give up. The battle then continues on. Ash commands him to use Quick Attack to counter Piloswine's Fury Attack. A direct hit in the nose, Piloswine slides back. Pikachu unleashes a massive {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which does nothing to it. Piloswine uses Take Down, and Pikachu jumps on its face and uses Thunder. This causes some damage, and creates a hole in the field, putting Piloswine in the water, as Pikachu uses Thunderbolt again, causing more damage because it's all wet. Piloswine shakes it off, leaving Ash and co. surprised. It uses Fury Attack, and Pikachu can't dodge it due to it losing control. Ash commands a Thunder, which sends Pikachu flying backwards. Pikachu looks exhausted, but stands up, ready to fight. Pryce then forfeits, which gives Ash the victory under a {{tt|T.K.O.|Technical Knock Out}}. Ash isn't pleased at first, saying he didn't actually win, but once he hears how much Pryce admired his strength and that he just didn't want his Piloswine to get hurt, he gladly accepts the {{Badge|Glacier|Badge}}.

* When Jessie finds out about Pryce being the gym leader, she says that Pryce wasn't right, a reference to the game show {{wp|The Price Is Right}}.
* When Pikachu uses Thunderbolt while Piloswine is in the water, Brock says that because of this, Thunderbolt's power is double. Although this isn't true, this is similar to the concept of the move Soak, added in Gen V, which makes the opponent soaking wet, making it pure Water type.
===Errors===
* {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunder}} affects [[Pryce's Piloswine]], although it should not, as Piloswine is a {{type|Ground}}. This might be an example of [[anime physics]].
** Despite this, Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} does nothing to Piloswine.

'''As Cold as Pryce''' (Japanese: '''イノムーとふゆのヤナギ！''' ''{{tt|Inomoo|Piloswine}} and {{tt|Yanagi|Pryce}} of the Winter!'') is the 237th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on February 21, 2002 and in the United States on March 1, 2003.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Finally setting foot in Mahogany Town, Ash is anxious to set about winning his next badge. When he finally locates the town gym leader, Pryce, he is surprised to recognize the man, having previously exchanged differing opinions on the proper nature of relationships between Pokémon and trainer. The embittered gym leader maintains his position that Pokémon must be controlled rather than trusted, must remain servants and never friends. When a natural catastrophe sends Ash and Pryce hurtling deep into the depths of the earth—and equally deep into the recesses of this gym leader's mysterious past—the two confront the Piloswine that loyally served Pryce long ago. In this lost Pokémon Ash recognizes the seed that might bring about a change of heart in Pryce.

==Plot==
With the [[Red Gyarados]] ordeal over, {{Ash}} decides to challenge the [[Gym Leader]] [[Pryce]] but he isn’t in there. A lady named [[Sheila]] tells Ash and {{ashfr}} that Pryce goes up to the mountains every morning to meditate under a waterfall. They hurry after her. Meanwhile, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}; who were waiting at the gym, tail them. After finally catching up with Sheila, they see [[Pryce]]. Ash is shocked to see that Pryce is the man who saved them on the bridge in the [[EP236|previous episode]]. Pryce says that it would be pointless to battle Ash, because his emotional bonds with his Pokémon have dulled their senses. After Ash protests, Pryce sends out his {{TP|Pryce|Dewgong}}. He tells Ash that if he can beat {{p|Dewgong}}, he will get his Gym battle.

Ash battles him with {{AP|Phanpy}} and quickly loses. Pryce leaves after the battle, with Ash following close behind. Sheila yells that it's dangerous to go into the mountains alone. {{TRT}}, who witnessed the whole battle, follow Ash. Soon, Ash gets separated from {{AP|Pikachu}}, and Team Rocket from one another. [[Jessie]] spots Ash and starts the {{motto}}, and when [[James]] says his line they realize that they were both in the same bush. The chase for Pikachu eventually leads to the edge of a cliff, where Ash is cornered. Suddenly, Pryce appears and calls Team Rocket idiots for trying to forcibly steal someone else's Pokémon. {{TP|James|Weezing}} launches a {{m|SmokeScreen}}, sending Ash, Pryce, and Pikachu over the cliff.

Ash sends out {{AP|Noctowl}} to help Pryce and {{AP|Totodile}} to break their fall using {{m|Water Gun}}. At the top of the cliff, Team Rocket is arguing over whose idea the {{m|SmokeScreen}} was, when Misty, Brock, and Sheila appear. Brock asks if they saw Ash, and Jessie and James run away, leaving Meowth to spill the beans. Sheila sees a small gully for them to climb down. At the bottom of the cliff, Pryce makes a spicy [[herbal medicine]] to restore Totodile's energy, having exhausted itself from the Water Gun. Pryce thanks Ash for how his Pokémon reacted under duress, but that as close as he is with them, he must retain strict discipline.

Back up at the top, Sheila explains that Pryce used to love his Pokémon. Because he treated his Pokémon so coldly, and his favoring of the {{t|Ice}} type, people began calling him "Icy Pryce". As she, Brock, and Misty, descend the cliff, Pryce sees an old leg bracelet, which he says belonged to his {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}}. Now at the bottom, Sheila explains that Pryce once had a Piloswine, that one day just left. Pryce elaborates to Ash, saying that he and Piloswine were once in a national tournament against a {{p|Magmar}}. He and Piloswine were both badly injured, as Pryce ran to protect it.

One night, Piloswine just left the snowbound cottage they were recovering in, and Pryce never saw it again. Ever since, Pryce stopped treating Pokémon as friends. They soon enter a cave covered in a thin layer of ice. Ash sees a figure frozen in the ice. With a shock Pryce realizes it is his Piloswine! Pryce notices that it's holding herbs used to treat burns. Ash deduces that it got trapped after looking for herbs to help his friend. Ash then uses {{AP|Cyndaquil}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}} and Pikachu's {{m|ThunderShock}} to revive Piloswine. Piloswine still remembers Pryce, to the old man's delight. Pryce tells Piloswine to use {{m|Rest}}, and explains to Ash what that move does.

They then exit the cave and reunite with Sheila, Misty, and Brock. Sheila is also excited to see Piloswine again. Just then, Team Rocket descends, and starts another battle. Pryce takes [[Jessie's Arbok|Arbok]] and Weezing head on with Piloswine, and beats them both. Pikachu sends them off again, and everyone celebrates. Back at the Gym, Pryce tells Ash that he will battle him tomorrow.

==Major events==
* {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} meet [[Pryce]] again and learn that he's the {{gy|Mahogany}} [[Gym Leader]]
* Ash and his friends help Pryce find his lost {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}}.
* Pryce accepts {{Ash}}'s request for a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}.

==Trivia==
* Having Pryce's bitter attitude explained by a haunted past might have been a throwback to the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.
* The episode's English title is derived from the phrase "as cold as ice".
* In this episode, Team Rocket uses a {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|As Cold as Pryce motto|variation}} of their motto.
* Pryce is shown meditating under a waterfall, which is what [[Chuck]] is shown doing in the [[Generation IV]] [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|games]].
* Meowth references the Miracle on Ice, which was when the US Hockey Team defeated the Soviet Union in the Medal Round of the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, New York.
* Music from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' can be heard in this episode.

===Errors===
* During the [[Who's That Pokémon?]], the clue says "''{{tt|This Pokémon|Magneton}} is composed of three Magnemite'''s'''''," which is the incorrect plural for Magnemite. The correct plural form for Magnemite, as with all Pokémon, would simply be Magnemite.
* When {{TRT}} trips over a rock, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}'s foot is seen, but in the next shot, Wobbuffet isn't present.
* When Pryce tells {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}} to use {{m|Rest}} and Ash asks what it is, Pryce says its an "ability that Piloswine can use" when it's actually a move.
* Despite [[Ash]] falling of the cliff first, [[Pryce]] was the one further down the hole.

==Blurb==

Our heroes are traveling over a mountain pass when inclement weather occasions a stay in a lodge located conveniently nearby. Brock is very taken with the hospitable caretaker of the lodge and her Ninetales, but his friends grow increasingly suspicious of her as they notice, and unsuccessfully try to point out to Brock, vague warning signs—her being distant and distracted, her preoccupation with the past, her not reflecting in mirrors—that she is not in fact his dream girl. Brock will have none of it, though, and eagerly accepts her proposal of marriage, even as the lodge itself grows increasingly sinister.

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

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

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

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

[[File:Lokoko Poké Ball anime.png|Ninetales' 200+ year old [[Poké Ball]].|thumb]] Fearful for Brock's safety, Ash and Misty quickly sneak back into the mansion, and begin exploring. They soon find a room that used to belong to the owner. Hanging above the desk is a portrait of the owner, who looks almost exactly like Brock. The desk also has two objects on it, Ninetales's [[Poké Ball]] (an incredibly old model, intricately made out of expensive materials), and the owner's diary. Paging through the diary for clues, they learn that there was once a man who owned this mansion who left and never returned. And to their horror, they discover that the last entry was made over 200 years ago! If Lokoko has been waiting for the owner for 200 years, then she must be a ghost! They rush outside and see Brock relaxing with Lokoko and Ninetales. As they watch Brock's clothes suddenly change to the ones the owner was wearing in his portrait. Realizing that the spell over Brock is being maintained by Ninetales, Ash calls out {{TP|Ash|Totodile}} and orders it to attack Ninetales with {{m|Water Gun}}. Though the attack misses Ninetales, it hits Lokoko and passes right through her, causing Brock to see her for what she actually is. The spell over him broken, Brock returns to normal. Furthermore the mansion itself begins to decay, revealing that its grand appearance was just an illusion over a long abandoned ruin.

Team Rocket, who are still chowing in the storehouse suddenly realize that all they've been eating were tree leaves, which were disguised as food by Ninetales's power. Ash and his friends race through the mansion, pursued by Ninetales. It eventually corners them in the owner's study. Ash tries to battle it with Totodile and Pikachu, but Ninetales easily defeats them using its telekinesis. Noticing the Poké Ball on the table, Brock picks it up and orders Ninetales to return. Confusing Brock for its owner, Ninetales happily jumps into the ball. Lokoko reappears and tells them the real story of the mansion. Over 200 years ago, the owner of the mansion left on a journey. Though he promised he'd be back in a month, he never returned. Over time the servants who worked in the mansion began to leave, each sadly bidding Ninetales farewell, one by one until Ninetales was eventually left alone. Though Ninetales waited patiently, losing track of time, it came to realize that a century had passed; it knew its owner could not possibly still be alive. It tried to leave the mansion, but found that it was bound by some sort of power centered around its Poké Ball. Trapped in the mansion, it continued to wait, its power growing stronger and stronger as time passed on. Over two hundred years after its master had left, Ninetales sensed Brock's presence. Since Brock looked almost exactly like its late owner, Ninetales decided to lure him to the mansion and trap him, so Brock could take over as Ninetales' new Trainer.

Suddenly, Team Rocket appears and captures Ninetales in a net. Angry over being tricked into eating leaves, they've decided to capture Ninetales and deliver it to their boss. {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}} are sent out, with Victreebel latching on James. Ash has {{TP|Ash|Bayleef}}'s {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the net open. A {{m|Poison Sting}} from Arbok is sent back to the balloon with Ninetales' telekinesis. After freeing himself, James threw Victreebel down to attack Brock, only for Ninetales to knock Brock down in time, while letting loose of the old Poké Ball and shattering it. Bayleef uses Tackle to send Arbok and Victreebel back to the balloon, and Team Rocket is quickly sent "blasting off again" with Ninetales' {{m|Flamethrower}} and Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

With the old Poké Ball shattered, Ninetales is released from the spell that had trapped it in the mansion. Finally free, Ninetales goes off to explore the world. As Ash and his friends prepare to continue their journey, they are met one last time by Lokoko, who thanks them for helping Ninetales.

==Trivia==
* This episode features references to the myths of {{wp|kitsune}} that {{p|Ninetales}} was based upon.
** This episode could also be a reference to {{wp|Hachikō}}, the dog well-known for his loyalty to his owner, even years after his death.
* This episode aired between ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'' and ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon]]'' in the dub.
* Music from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' was used in this episode.
** Interestingly, in the dub, Ninetales says of its master that he was no longer "of this Earth", a phrase similar to one {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} repeated in both ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' and ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

===Errors===
* In the English dub, Brock claims that he had a Ninetales of his own, but the {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} that he temporarily acquired from [[Suzy]] never evolved into {{p|Ninetales}}.
** However, this could be a possible reference to [[Brock|his game counterpart]] who has a Ninetales in Round 2 of {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.
* In the scene right after Brock falls down the cliff, Ash first appears on top of the cliff he had fallen off of, and the stands next to Brock at the foot of the cliff, as if Ash teleported.
* When Team Rocket captures Ninetales, parts of the net have disappeared.
* When lokoko says, "stay with me until the mist clears". The image of her and brock flicker a bunch of times.

===Dub edits===
* In the English version, Lokoko explains that when the master went away and never came back, the servants disappeared, but in the Japanese version, they had left or died.

'''Hatching a Plan''' (Japanese: '''タマゴ、かえる''' ''Egg, Hatch'') is the 230th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 27, 2001 and in the United States on January 18, 2003.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

At long last Ash's egg hatches, a Phanpy emerging to finally put everyone's curiosity to rest. Ash and friends' excitement is matched only by that of Jessie and James of Team Rocket, who see in the newly hatched Pokemon a chance to redeem themselves with Giovanni. Full of youthful vigor, the Phanpy quickly escapes Ash and goes off on its own, now pursued by both Team Rocket and Ash's party. Ash and Pikachu finally set out together after this stray Pokémon and continue to be frustrated in attempt after attempt at its capture.

==Plot==
While camping out for the night, {{an|Misty}} notices a light coming out of Ash's [[bag|backpack]]. {{Ash}} gets out the [[egg case]] because the {{pkmn|Egg}} is starting to hatch. They all wonder what might hatch out of the Egg. {{TRT}}, who plans on stealing the Pokémon, wait nearby. The Egg hatches into a {{p|Phanpy}}! Ash checks it out with Dexter and wonders where its Poké Ball is. Brock reminds him that the Poké Ball is on the case, so he takes it and tries to return Phanpy, who jumps out of the way. Ash tries again, but Phanpy continues to dodge the beam. Brock suggests that some food might convince Phanpy to listen. Ash gets out some food, but before the Phanpy could get to it, Team Rocket snatches it with a hand. Pikachu shocks them with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and hits Phanpy as well. Team Rocket blasts off, and Phanpy is still a little shocked from the jolt. Pikachu tries to comfort it but a spark sends Phanpy running. Ash tries to run after Phanpy without luck.

The gang splits up in search of Phanpy. Brock leaves some food out to attract it when a bush near him wiggles about. Brock grabs at it; however, it ends up being [[Misty's Psyduck]], with a mouthful of Brock's food. Ash and Pikachu look about, but Pikachu feels completely at fault. Ash comforts Pikachu, knowing they'll find Phanpy eventually.

Deeper in the woods, Phanpy runs about, and the electricity is wearing off. Phanpy looks around for Ash, but then realizes it's hungry; Phanpy decides to follow a pleasant smell of food. The aroma comes from Team Rocket, who is cooking toast over a fire. They sulk in their failure to get the Phanpy but Meowth cheers them up a bit. When Meowth is about to eat his toast, Phanpy steals it before he can eat it. Meowth ends up biting its hand. Meowth goes hysterical noticing that the toast disappeared, but Jessie and James don't seem to care and start eating. Phanpy swipes their toast as well. When Meowth looks around for what happened, he sees Phanpy standing there, finishing the toast. Meowth tries to scold Phanpy but it tackles Meowth. The Meowth looks the other way for a while, with his tail waving at Phanpy, who seems to like it.

The gang meets up although nobody found Phanpy. Then Team Rocket appears out of the bush, dressed up in weird jumpsuits and helmets. Ash gives them a few remarks until Meowth shows up with Phanpy. Ash tries to call Phanpy to him, but Meowth goes up in front of Pikachu, waving his tail which is painted like a Phanpy. Phanpy gets excited and runs towards them, but Meowth quickly dodges, hitting Pikachu instead. James whips out the same hand and grabs Pikachu. Pikachu tries to shock them but the suit makes Jessie and James invulnerable to electricity. Then, James releases his {{p|Weezing}} to make a smoke shroud. With the smoke, Team Rocket is long gone.

Team Rocket celebrates their catch with a toast of milk. Phanpy looks like he wants some as well but James puts Phanpy in a cage where Pikachu is. Pikachu plans that they should bash the cage so it rolls down the cliff. They bash the side of the cage twice and it rolls down, breaking when it smashes into a tree. James hears the crash and goes over to see that the cage is gone, and he then sees the two Pokémon running away. Team Rocket hops into their balloon and chases after them. The gang sees the balloon and rushes towards it. Both Pokémon and the gang are stopped by a raging river.

It looks like the two have no choice but to jump. Pikachu makes the first jump across to a stone, telling Phanpy to jump too. Phanpy does, though not really as well as Pikachu. Pikachu hops to another stone, Phanpy following but misses and goes in. Pikachu grabs Phanpy, causing both Pokémon to hang on the rock; Pikachu slips! Ash runs along the river to find something to get them. Pikachu grabs another rock that happens to be under a tree. Ash climbs up with a rope and tries to grab Pikachu and Phanpy. He manages to get Pikachu but Phanpy slips away. With no other option, Ash jumps into the river, despite the waterfall nearby. As soon as he falls down, Ash tosses the rope to the others, saving Phanpy.

After the short refresher from the waterfall, Team Rocket arrives on the scene. Meowth does the Phanpy trick, but Phanpy's not so happy about Team Rocket this time. Jessie and James send out their Pokémon. Ash lets Phanpy go up for battle and Phanpy does a {{m|Rollout}} attack, which knocks the Team Rocket's Pokémon back. Pikachu lets off a Thunderbolt, but it doesn't affect Jessie and James, but it sure affected the whole balloon. The balloon explodes and they blast off.

==Trivia==
* This episode was initially going to be called "Phanpy's Phantastic Arrival."
* Phanpy is supposed to be 73.9 pounds, or 33.5 kilograms, but people are still able to hold it, as well as Pikachu being able to somewhat effectively bear its weight. Although this may be due to the fact that Phanpy is just a newborn, even more absurd occurrences have happened in episode [[DP044]]
* Even though Meowth says that the paint he put on his tail doesn't wash off and that it took a long time for him to paint it, the paint is missing between the two scenes where Meowth is using his tail as bait, exposing Meowth's normal brown tail.

===Errors===
* Although {{p|Phanpy}} is a {{type|Ground}}, it was affected by {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, this could be due to Phanpy's newborn state; its natural protection from {{type|Electric}} attacks may not have set in yet.
* When Ash and his friends saw the Meowth Balloon, which is chasing Pikachu and {{AP|Phanpy}}, they followed it. But when they found Pikachu and Phanpy, they are on the other side of the river.
* Even though {{p|Phanpy}} just hatched out of its {{pkmn|Egg}}, Ash told it to return in its [[Poke Ball]] even though it hadn't been caught yet.
* When james sends out weezing it makes a noise but doesn't move it's mouth.
** This also happens in a later scene, with both jessie and james with their arbok and weezing.

Phanpy gets excited and runs towards them, but Meowth quickly dodges, hitting Pikachu instead. James whips out the same hand and grabs Pikachu. Pikachu tries to shock them but the suit makes Jessie and James invulnerable to electricity. Then, James releases his {{p|Weezing}} to make a smoke shroud. With the smoke, Team Rocket is long gone.

Team Rocket celebrates their catch with a toast of milk. Phanpy looks like he wants some as well but James puts Phanpy in a cage where Pikachu is. Pikachu plans that they should bash the cage so it rolls down the cliff. They bash the side of the cage twice and it rolls down, breaking when it smashes into a tree. James hears the crash and goes over to see that the cage is gone, and he then sees the two Pokémon running away. Team Rocket hops into their balloon and chases after them. The gang sees the balloon and rushes towards it. Both Pokémon and the gang are stopped by a raging river.

It looks like the two have no choice but to jump. Pikachu makes the first jump across to a stone, telling Phanpy to jump too. Phanpy does, though not really as well as Pikachu. Pikachu hops to another stone, Phanpy following but misses and goes in. Pikachu grabs Phanpy, causing both Pokémon to hang on the rock; Pikachu slips! Ash runs along the river to find something to get them. Pikachu grabs another rock that happens to be under a tree. Ash climbs up with a rope and tries to grab Pikachu and Phanpy. He manages to get Pikachu but Phanpy slips away. With no other option, Ash jumps into the river, despite the waterfall nearby. As soon as he falls down, Ash tosses the rope to the others, saving Phanpy.

After the short refresher from the waterfall, Team Rocket arrives on the scene. Meowth does the Phanpy trick, but Phanpy's not so happy about Team Rocket this time. Jessie and James send out their Pokémon. Ash lets Phanpy go up for battle and Phanpy does a {{m|Rollout}} attack, which knocks the Team Rocket's Pokémon back. Pikachu lets off a Thunderbolt, but it doesn't affect Jessie and James, but it sure affected the whole balloon. The balloon explodes and they blast off.

==Trivia==
* This episode was initially going to be called "Phanpy's Phantastic Arrival."
* Phanpy is supposed to be 73.9 pounds, or 33.5 kilograms, but people are still able to hold it, as well as Pikachu being able to somewhat effectively bear its weight. Although this may be due to the fact that Phanpy is just a newborn, even more absurd occurrences have happened in episode [[DP044]]
* Even though Meowth says that the paint he put on his tail doesn't wash off and that it took a long time for him to paint it, the paint is missing between the two scenes where Meowth is using his tail as bait, exposing Meowth's normal brown tail.

===Errors===
* Although {{p|Phanpy}} is a {{type|Ground}}, it was affected by {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, this could be due to Phanpy's newborn state; its natural protection from {{type|Electric}} attacks may not have set in yet.
* When Ash and his friends saw the Meowth Balloon, which is chasing Pikachu and {{AP|Phanpy}}, they followed it. But when they found Pikachu and Phanpy, they are on the other side of the river.
* Even though {{p|Phanpy}} just hatched out of its {{pkmn|Egg}}, Ash told it to return in its [[Poke Ball]] even though it hadn't been caught yet.
* When james sends out weezing it makes a noise but doesn't move it's mouth.

'''Extreme Pokémon!''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンライドでつっぱしれ！！''' ''Run Quickly Along the Pokémon Ride!!'') is the 228th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 13, 2001 and in the United States on January 4, 2003.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

On their way to Mahogany City, Ash, Misty, and Brock run into Gary and his Arcanine practicing for a meet. Ash decides he wants to enter the meet but needs a sleigh, which he receives from a local Pokemon breeder. Team Rocket no sooner gets wind of the meet than do they begin sabotaging it, stealing Gary's Arcanine midway through the race and making off with some Pokemon eggs stored at the local breeding center. After a short battle with Team Rocket, Arcanine is returned to Gary and Ash goes on to win the race, a trophy, and an unexpected gift from the Pokemon breeder.

==Plot==
While {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} are on their way to [[Mahogany Town]], they meet {{Gary}} and his {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}} and learn of the Extreme Pokémon contest that he is entering the next day: a race in which Trainers are pulled on [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|skateboards]] by one of their Pokémon. At a restaurant in the town of [[Eggseter]], they meet [[Mr. Shellby]], who runs a Pokémon Daycare center with his wife. Ash expresses interest in the Extreme Pokémon race, and Mr. Shellby offers to help.

At Mr. Shellby's Daycare Center, Ash, Misty, and Brock meet several of the recently-hatched baby Pokémon. Ash borrows Mr. Shellby's skateboard and, while trying it out, is saved from a fall by Gary's Arcanine. Gary discovers that Ash is competing in the Extreme Pokémon competition, and they each vow to best the other.

Ash chooses his {{AP|Bayleef}} for the race, and the two train together while {{TRT}} watches and plans to capture the strongest Pokémon in the upcoming race. Mr. Shellby shows Ash a dummy Egg, which will be needed for the final leg of the race.

Soon after the beginning of the race, Ash and Gary battle for the lead. Team Rocket floats overhead and sends down a net to capture Gary's Arcanine. They catch Arcanine and raise it up to the balloon. Ash commands his Bayleef to launch him at the balloon, and he uses his skateboard to pierce it. Ash lands with the balloon, Team Rocket, and Arcanine at Mr. Shellby's house. As Arcanine escapes from Team Rocket, [[James]] steals a batch of Pokémon Eggs from Mr. Shellby. [[Jessie]] sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to defend the team as they escape, but Bayleef appears and battles Arbok. Arbok overpowers Bayleef but Gary arrives just in time and commands Arcanine to {{m|Take Down}} Arbok. Team Rocket resorts to running away, but Ash's Bayleef reclaims the Eggs using her vines, and Team Rocket is sent blasting off again by Arcanine's {{m|Flame Wheel}}.

Ash and Gary are still in the lead, but the rest of the competitors are catching up. They are given their dummy Eggs by Mr. Shellby and continue the race. Gary is slightly ahead of Ash, but Ash works out a way to gain the lead and to win the race in a photo finish. Gary is at first annoyed but takes it in good faith.

Later, Mr. and Mrs. Shellby say goodbye to Ash, Brock and Misty. They give Ash a {{AP|light blue Pokémon Egg|Donphan}} as a present, and the trio set off toward [[Mahogany Town]].

==Major events==
* {{Ash}} meets up with {{Gary}} again and both enter an [[Extreme Pokémon Race]].
* Ash wins the Extreme Pokémon Race and receives an {{pkmn|Egg}} from [[Mr. Shellby]] at the Pokémon Breeding Center.

* When Team Rocket gets blasted away, Arbok disappears.
* The blurb for [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/05_19-extreme-pokemon/ this episode] incorrectly identifies Mahogany Town as Mahogany City.
* In the last few minutes of this episode, [[gary]] is shown standing in mid air.
* When gary walks off in the final scene the ground changes from grass to dirt.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

At Transit Town, Ash gives Janina a call to check on Sparkle the Ampharos, and to see if Jasmine is ready for their Gym battle. Janina gives them good news, and Ash and the others set off for the last boat out to Olivine City, but they wind up missing it! Ash asks an old man about the next ferry, and is told that there are no more until tomorrow. The old man directs him to a plane service called the Hoothoot Express that might be able to help them.

When they arrive, they find that the old man is actually the owner of the plane, Wings Alexander. Wings used to be a great Pokémon Trainer back in the day, winning many a battle with the help of his Hoothoot. He asks the kids to help him with his chores, and then he will fly them to Olivine City.

They get on the plane and find a Noctowl in the co-pilot seat—it's Wings's Hoothoot, now evolved. They take off, only to be hit by an approaching storm. In their balloon, the members of Team Rocket are also caught in the storm, and they ask the pilot for help. Wings invites them on board.

It takes the combined power of both Ash and Wings's Noctowl to keep the plane aloft while Pikachu draws the lightning away! Wings notices the lighthouse in the distance, showing him which way to go to avoid the cliffs, while Team Rocket goes blasting off again.

Finally, the plane lands in Olivine City, and Ash begins to prepare for his long-awaited battle with Gym Leader Jasmine!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

At Transit Town, Ash gives Janina a call to check on Sparkle the Ampharos, and to see if Jasmine is ready for their Gym battle. Janina gives them good news, and Ash and the others set off for the last boat out to Olivine City, but they wind up missing it! Ash asks an old man about the next ferry, and is told that there are no more until tomorrow. The old man directs him to a plane service called the Hoothoot Express that might be able to help them.

When they arrive, they find that the old man is actually the owner of the plane, Wings Alexander. Wings used to be a great Pokémon Trainer back in the day, winning many a battle with the help of his Hoothoot. He asks the kids to help him with his chores, and then he will fly them to Olivine City.

They get on the plane and find a Noctowl in the co-pilot seat—it's Wings's Hoothoot, now evolved. They take off, only to be hit by an approaching storm. In their balloon, the members of Team Rocket are also caught in the storm, and they ask the pilot for help. Wings invites them on board.

It takes the combined power of both Ash and Wings's Noctowl to keep the plane aloft while Pikachu draws the lightning away! Wings notices the lighthouse in the distance, showing him which way to go to avoid the cliffs, while Team Rocket goes blasting off again.

Finally, the plane lands in Olivine City, and Ash begins to prepare for his long-awaited battle with Gym Leader Jasmine!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are just one city away from {{ci|Olivine}}. Ash calls [[Janina]] to tell her that he's coming back to Olivine City. The gang heads out for the port, but it looks like again there's no ferry for a long while back to Olivine. Ash notices an old man fishing on the pier and asks him when the next ferry will come by.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash and friends do their best to free the captured Lugia from Team Rocket, but are eventually overwhelmed by a new technology that emotionally manipulates Pokemon, amplifying their rage and enhancing the power of their attacks. This heightened power enables Butch and Cassidy to not only capture the parent Lugia, but to take captive Ash and friends as well. A Team Rocket researcher insists that true power lies in fury, but Ash hopes to prove that trust between man and Pokemon holds the key to a greater power still, and to free himself and his friends in the process.

==Plot==
The story left off with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, along with [[Ritchie]], captured by [[Team Rocket]] and held at their base. [[Dr. Namba]] and the other Rockets look upon their capture of the parent {{p|Lugia}}, but they rather use that than {{jo|Silver|the child}} so they carry that one off. Later, the gang wakes up and figures out what to do, Ash rambling about the whole incident. Soon Dr. Namba comes in and tells them his plan, after all they won't be long before they put it into effect. The head item that was on [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} were part of his little experiment of amplifying energy, but also manipulation. If a single {{p|Houndour}}'s power is amplified so much to what it was performing at, think how powerful the energy would be from Lugia if amplified.

Later, [[Oliver]] decides that he wants to go rescue them and tells [[Luka]] that he's going down there and get them back. [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} are later looking in a security room for any hints on where the parent Lugia might be at. Oliver enters the base and ends up in the vents, then finds his way into a hall, but a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} has caught him. Jessie and James are there and know that Oliver could be helpful, so they fake the Rocket and take over, telling Oliver where the gang is.

Dr. Namba shows the gang how this little mechanism works, the test subjects are {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Sparky]]. They come out on a elevator-table restrained while a hook lowers the mechanism down. But just before that could happen, Oliver breaks in and punches in the lock code, opening the door from the cage. Ash slams into Dr. Namba and then breaks off the hook thing and uses that to break the console. They try to get everything back together again, thanking Oliver while their at it. Dr. Namba however, trips the alarm and the whole base comes towards the room. The gang tries to run out but are cut off by Butch, Cassidy, and a whole mess of Rockets. Butch and Cassidy release their Pokémon with the same gadget on them. They start off with a {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Rolling Kick}} but Pikachu and Sparky easily dodge both attacks. Ash and Ritchie have a plan though, they have their Pokémon use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but aim for the gadget, which breaks it. With the Pokémon powerless, both do a head on {{m|Tackle}} and [[fainting|knock them out]]. They're soon cut short of the {{pkmn|battle}} when they leave off to make sure the parent Lugia doesn't go anywhere.

In the room where the parent Lugia is, James and Meowth do their best to try to free the Lugia. Butch and Cassidy soon run into them, which ends up being a battle between the two. The battle seems to be on Jessie and James's favor as {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}} seem to just easily make comebacks. Cassidy's Houndour misses one Flamethrower, hitting a support for the energy barrier that's keeping Lugia in. Butch's Hitmontop tries a Rolling Kick, but is disrupted by Victreebel's {{m|Vine Whip}}, hitting the support again. A final break happened when Arbok got slammed into the support, the parent Lugia soon freed. With that, the parent Lugia goes berserk on the base, firing {{m|Hyper Beam|a beam}} at random locations. One blast hits the Rockets, blowing them into the sky. The beam causes a breach, which causes the base to rise to the surface.

With the other Rockets to take care of, Ash sends out {{AP|Totodile}} and Ritchie sends out his {{p|Pupitar}}, {{DL|Ritchie|Cruise}}. Totodile shoots a {{m|Water Gun}} towards them and Cruise hits them hard with a Tackle, getting them all. They find the room where the child Lugia is at, but it's guarded by Dr. Namba. He sends out an {{p|Electabuzz}} with the head mechanism. Ash and Ritchie send out their Pikachu to do the job. Electabuzz goes up for a {{m|ThunderPunch}}, literally making a crater, but the Pikachu manage to dodge the attack. They retaliate with a Thunderbolt but Electabuzz uses {{m|Light Screen}} and the bolts simply bounce off. Electabuzz does a more powerful version of Thunderbolt, getting both Pikachu easily. Later, the parent Lugia seems to be doing fine causing massive damage. It bursts through a wall to a hallway and then continues to fire beams around.

Ash and Ritchie try to figure out a way to beat Electabuzz. First they tried to outsmart it, but it never seems to work. The Electabuzz catches them in a ThunderPunch combo, but doesn't make contact just yet, giving Ash some time. Then he notices the little controller Dr. Namba has and gets the idea that's what will make the Electabuzz normal. Ash has Pikachu do a Thunderbolt to the Electabuzz, which does a Light Screen. With Electabuzz busy, Sparky goes up to Dr. Namba and shocks him along with the controller, breaking it. The Electabuzz snaps out of it and the two do a double {{m|Thunder}} attack. Afterwards, they work on opening the child Lugia's cage. Ash calls out {{AP|Cyndaquil}} to do a Flamethrower, which toasts a part of it. {{an|Misty}} tells {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} to do Water Gun which rusts it, then Ritchie has Cruise do a Tackle which finally releases the child Lugia.

They carry the child Lugia and run out for an exit, but they stumble into the parent Lugia. Again, they all persuade it to stop attacking and ensures that the child Lugia is safe. The parent Lugia takes a moment but a large piece of debris starts to fall on top of the gang. In a flash, the parent Lugia covers them using {{m|Safeguard}}, and the gang realizes that Lugia now trusts them. Soon they start to make their way out of the base and dive for the ocean.

In the evening, the two Lugia go head back for the ocean, probably never returning. The next day, Ritchie decides to stay on the island with Oliver for a while, Ash and the others explain they have to head back to [[Olivine City]]. They say their goodbyes and go their separate ways.

==Major events==
* {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} escape from [[Team Rocket]] and free the two {{p|Lugia}}.

==Trivia==
* This is the last episode where [[Megan Hollingshead]] voiced [[Cassidy]].
* In an act of reverse psychology, it's [[Butch]] who gets [[James]]'s name wrong while in the chamber Lugia was held in. Here, Butch calls James "John"; James accuses Butch of saying it "wrong on purpose".
* Music from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' is used during this episode.
* At one point, Professor Namba says, "Turn it up to 11, Electabuzz!" This is a reference to the movie ''{{wp|This Is Spinal Tap}}''.
* This is one of the few times in the anime that "real life religion" is mentioned, Luka talks about her great grandfather looking down at her from {{wp|heaven}}.
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 8: Lugia'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].

===Errors===
* When Ash and Richie rescue Pikachu and Sparky, Richie's gloves change from their usual black to the same color as Ash's.
* After the scene where poliwhirl and totodial use water gun, richie says cruze but he doesn't say what attack it want's it to use.
** Despite this happening, cruze still uses tackle attack.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

With the young Lugia in the possession of Butch and Cassidy, Ash and friends set about rescuing it while protecting its parent from itself. The parent Lugia fights desperately to free its child—playing right into Team Rocket's hands. If Ash fails to win the Lugia's trust and convince it not to oppose Team Rocket alone, it seems this Pokemon is fated to end up in captivity along with its child.

==Plot==
With the {{jo|Silver|child}} {{p|Lugia}} now captured by [[Team Rocket]], [[Dr. Namba]] proudly stands in front of the new catch when [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] show up. They have a plan that they could use the child Lugia as a lure to capture its parent. The plan would seem almost too easy.

{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, [[Ritchie]] and [[Oliver]] sit depressed on the shore when [[Luka]] comes. She wonders what's going on and they tell her that Team Rocket has captured the child Lugia. Luka is shocked, but they have little time to discuss a plan. The parent Lugia suddenly emerges from the sea. Soon everyone has been told about what happened to the child Lugia, which the parent Lugia doesn't respond to at first. The parent soon starts combing the area but doesn't find anything, so it goes back to the gang. Again they tell it that the child was captured but they'll do whatever it takes to get the child back. The parent becomes enraged and releases a gigantic storm and wreaks havoc across the island and the neighboring one. With this the gang seek shelter in a cave.

Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] still wants to find some way to bring some attention. She still frets about having the chance of taking the child Lugia away, but maybe there's something else to it. They hop out of their sub but soon gets blasted by the parent Lugia.

After awhile in the cave, Ash decides that he is going to face Lugia and try to get it to believe them. Ritchie agrees, and goes with Ash. Luka offers to drive her boat. The three of them leave the cave and head to Lugia. However Lugia fires a beam at them, which Luka dodges easily. This continues for a while until finally it's an either now-or-never situation. Eventually, Lugia calms down and believes Ash and Ritchie when it says they'll find its child. Lugia stops the storm and flies away.

With that, now they have a new objective, finding Team Rocket's base. Their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} do a scout of the area but couldn't find anything, but since it's not on land, maybe it's underwater. Ash, Misty, Brock, Ritchie, and Oliver get in scuba gear and head for the ocean. They don't find much, until they notice the {{DL|Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp Submarine}} belonging to Jessie, [[James]] and {{MTR}}. They follow that to the base but as soon as they get there, the Rocket's plan soon goes into effect. The base emerges towards the surface!

After the base had emerged, they release the child Lugia still in the cage and with some contraption out there for the parent to get. The gang obviously knows this is a trap and soon the parent Lugia comes by. Everyone soon sees this, the gang yelling not to get any near while running. Then they are stopped by Butch and Cassidy. Since they can't go any further, it would just be easier to attack the parent Lugia from here on to see if it would get the idea. Both {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Sparky]] go up for an attack, but the parent easily dodges it. Butch messes with a little gizmo and some headgear on their Pokémon glows orange for a while, making them aggressive. They explain that this new device not only keeps them angry, but boosts their abilities. {{p|Houndour}} does a {{m|Flamethrower}} which was significantly more powerful than before. This doesn't stop them however, the gang persists on attacking the parent but everytime Butch and Cassidy have their Pokémon retaliate.

Butch increases the intensity of the headgear and soon their Pokémon become worse. Ash sends out {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and Ritchie sends out his {{p|Charmeleon}}, [[Zippo]]. But all it takes is one hit and no more. The gang tries to give the parent again but this time the parent Lugia decided to give them a shot with its {{m|Aeroblast}}. Although the attack misses, it knocks all of them out. The Lugia continues on and the trap activates. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is ready to put their balloon plan into action. However, Meowth accidentally pops it with his claws and it sends Team Rocket blasting off. The Rockets soon retrieve their second catch, going back underwater.

Ash wakes up later, only to find himself, Misty, Brock and Ritchie in a cage.

==Major events==
* [[Ritchie]]'s [[Zippo]] is revealed to have [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Charmeleon}}.
* {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}} and the parent {{p|Lugia}} are captured by [[Team Rocket]].

* When brock says, "Silver wouldn't hear a thing". He was supposed to say lugia wouldn't hear a thing.
* When misty sends out her [[goldeen]], it's eye colour is a shade lighter and has smaller pupils.

'''The Mystery is History''' (Japanese: '''なぞのポケモンＸ！！''' ''Mysterious Pokémon X!!'') is the 220th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 18, 2001 and in the United States on November 23, 2002.

==Blurb==

While on their quest to locate a mysterious Pokemon, Ash, Misty, and Brock run into their old friends Richie, and his Pikachu, Sparky. They also meet a young boy and his Lanturn, who has made friends with a baby Lugia. Meanwhile, Butch and Cassidy of Team Rocket are hatching a plan to capture the baby Lugia in hopes of eventually catching its parent. Jessie and James also try to catch the adult Lugia, but are unsuccessful.

==Plot==
The scene left off with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} discovering that [[Sparky]] is right next to them. They assume [[Ritchie]] is here. Ritchie comes out and finds Ash. Ash asks what Ritchie is doing here. Ritchie explains that after the [[Indigo League]], he heard about a mysterious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} here and spent extensive time researching the location. According to his sources, Ritchie thinks that this Pokémon is on an island nearby, so they take a small boat over there.

Meanwhile on the island, a kid is swimming around with a {{p|Lanturn}} and a shadow seems to be under the water as well. The kid seems to be aware of it. When he sees the gang coming on the boat he quickly tells the shadow to hide. They ask about the island. He informs them of his name, [[Oliver]]. Ash asks if he knows anything about the mysterious Pokémon that's supposedly around here. Oliver seems nervous, almost as if he was faking his uncertainty. With no answer, the gang goes off to comb the island. When the coast is clear, something pulls Oliver under, a {{jo|Silver|child}} {{p|Lugia}}! They are being spied upon by an underwater [[Team Rocket]] lab. In it resides a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} and [[Dr. Namba]]. Dr. Namba now knowing about the Lugia, dispatches a submarine for an attempt to capture it.


With the child Lugia no longer a secret, they ask Oliver why the child Lugia is friends with him. Oliver explains that a while ago Lanturn and he were caught in a storm while swimming. The waves were too rough and sent him under the water. Later, he finds that he is back on land with the child Lugia by his side. After that, the parent Lugia had soon shown itself to him. Ash says he saw the parent before, but not the child. Then they turn to [[Luka]], and she explains that the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Silver Wing}} responds with the presence of the parent Lugia. The parent Lugia swims out of the water next to them, with an angered look on its face. The Silver Wing starts to glow red. Everyone starts to convince the parent that they won't do anything to the child, which eventually calms it down. The child goes back to the parent and they go off swimming for a while. Ash, knowing that Luka has diving equipment, asks to see what they're doing. Underwater, the parent Lugia is feeding the child, who then goes towards Ash and gives him a playful headbutt. Above the water, Luka catches the parent jumping above the surface along with the child.

Back at Team Rocket's lab, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] look around a bit in their new uniforms. They find their way to where Dr. Namba is seeing that [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] are giving their report. Dr. Namba wants something so Cassidy orders Jessie and James (disguised) to go get it. Jessie starts to go into a tantrum but James politely goes out with her. Jessie is dying to get even with them.

Back on land, Oliver is swimming with the child Lugia once again and notices another child Lugia. The original child Lugia goes after it, thinking it's another {{p|Lugia}}, but Ritchie figures out that it's a decoy. By the time this is discovered, it's too late. With the child following it, the decoy turns into a cage. Soon, Butch and Cassidy's sub comes out and they laugh at them, except Jessie, James, and {{MTR}} pop out in their {{DL|Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp submarine}} to try to grab the catch. Jessie and Cassidy argue for a while and eventually fight each other. Cassidy wins and uses SmokeScreen to get away with the child Lugia.

* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 8: Lugia'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].
* Music from ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' can be heard briefly in this episode.

===Errors===
* Consistently in the beginning of this episode, {{Ash}} and [[Ritchie]] incorrectly refer to [[Blue Point Isle]] as ''Blue Rock Isle'', the literal translation of the Japanese name.
* {{DL|Ritchie|Cruise}}, Ritchie's {{p|Pupitar}}, uses {{m|Take Down}} in this episode, a move it [[Anime move errors|cannot learn in the games.]]
*When he commands Cruise to use Take Down, he also calls it Pupitar, not Cruise.
* Ash claims that the mysterious Pokémon had flown over them, however it had actually swum beneath them.
* When Luka appeared on the scene to save Ash and his friends from Butch and Cassidy, she addresses Cassidy by name, though the two never met before.
* When Jessie sends out arbok, it's makes it's cry but it doesn't move it's mouth.
* When Ash and Ritchie are fighting Butch and Cassidy, Ritchie orders Cruise to use Take Down. However, he addresses it as Pupitar instead of using its nickname.
* When Ash's Noctowl and Brock's Crobat came from their search for Silver, Crobat's body is blue instead of purple.
* Both Lugia (Silver and Silver's mother) cannot talk human language despite the fact that Lugia in the second movie could speak through telepathy.

===Dub edits===
* In the {{pmin|Latin America|Latin American dub}}, during Team Rocket's {{motto}}, Diana Pérez, Jessie's voice actress and José Antonio Macías, James' voice actor, switch dialogs, causing Jessie to say her lines with James voice and vice versa. The reason of this is unknown, though it was probably a joke from the actors, because they seemed to attempt to imitate the voices of each other.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

A village of kind, elderly people prepares a great meal for Ash and friends, and in return requests that the Pokémon Trainers assist them in defending their village against a gang of marauders that invades the village every year and attempts to rustle their sizable herd of Diglett. In explaining this to the children, the village's elderly mayor loses his train of thought numerous times, leaving Ash and friends completely confused by his request, until an unlikely source offers some clarification. The leader of the gang in question appears, succinctly restates the mayor's explanation, promises to return the following day with his gang, and finally excuses himself politely. A bit puzzled by this genteel marauder, Ash and friends nonetheless accept the mayor's request and along with Team Rocket, whose insatiable appetites had brought them to the dinner as well, begin fortifying the town against attack. When our heroes venture into the enemy camp, however, they learn that there is more to the marauders' plot than meets the eye.

==Plot==
With the [[Whirl Cup]] over, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} head towards the last areas of the [[Whirl Islands]]. However, everyone's hungry and the next town won't be reached for quite some time. Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] is spying on them from a high area, coming up with another scheme. While Jessie is watching the kids, [[James]] and {{MTR}} are busy digging a hole in the ground, attempting the pitfall trick again. As the kids approach, {{TRT}} hide behind a bush, waiting for their trap to work. Sure enough, the kids fall down into the sinkhole. Team Rocket start to bask in their success, but when they go to check out the hole, they fall into another one. Jessie complains to James and Meowth on why they didn't tell her about this one. Meowth says the one they fell in is theirs, since it has a picture of himself on the side. He then begins to dream about his sculpture being everywhere. Suddenly, a bunch of {{p|Diglett}} appear in both Team Rocket's hole and the kids.

The Diglett form a "ladder," and a girl appears. She explains that the hole was dug because people kept sneaking into their town. {{an|Brock}} jumps out and does his usual spiel. The girl introduces herself as [[Rita and Sue|Rita]], and another, [[Rita and Sue|Sue]], introduces herself as well. After getting both groups out of the holes, Rita and Sue explain that they need help in defending their village. They offer free food and shelter if the groups agree to help. Eager at the prospect of food, both accept the offer and head towards the village.

The two groups sit down before an enormous mountain of food. Ash and his friends begin eating immediately, but Team Rocket hold off. James and Meowth question if eating with the enemy is right, but Jessie ignores them and dives right into the food. Sue and Rita leave for their home, but say the village elders, which are also the [[Town Council members]], will explain the story to them. However, they forgot what they need to ask about, and go back and forth several times before remembering they were going to request help. Suddenly, the elders are interrupted by an armored man on a Dodrio. He claims to be the leader of the [[band of Diglett thieves]]. They explain that every year, they come to [[Diglett Village]] to steal all of the villagers' Diglett so they can help them. He tells the elders that they'll be back tomorrow to begin stealing the Pokémon.

Realizing they need to act fast, Team Rocket and the others decide to join forces to stop the band of Diglett thieves. They come up with a plan on how to deal with the gang: Ash and the others will sneak into the enemy's village and spy on them so they can hear about the plans. Team Rocket will remain in Diglett Village to train the elderly residents how to defend themselves.

Making their way into the village, Ash and the others hide behind a wall after seeing the leader. Pikachu glances at the leader and jumps back in surprise. The others look, and are stunned to see Sue and Rita talking to the band of Diglett thieves' leader. The kids run off, but are spotted by the leader. They learn that the leader of the band of Diglett thieves is Rita and Sue's father. He in turn explains that all the residents of Diglett Village are the grandparents of Rita and Sue, and the parents of the band of Diglett thieves. As it turns out, the village was founded by their ancestors many years prior. While the younger residents left the village, the older ones remained. The band of Diglett thieves was formed in order to make sure the elderly residents were staying in shape, and every year they return to the village in order to check up on their parents. The Diglett thieves make Ash and the others promise to go along with their plan. The kids agree, and promise to help out the Diglett Village residents.

The next day, James sits on top of a makeshift tower in a tree, waiting for the band of Diglett thieves. When he sees them, he lets the elderly residents know, and they charge forward. The pitfalls Team Rocket was digging earlier work, as many Diglett thieves are falling into them. Ash and his friends help out as well. Ash has Cyndaquil use its {{m|Flamethrower}}, which is put out by a hose. Misty has Poliwhirl use {{m|Water Gun}}, which is deflected by shields. Meanwhile, the Diglett are carrying away the Diglett thieves. Finally, Brock has Crobat use {{m|Supersonic}}. Confusion is prevented by headphones.

Suddenly, the band of Diglett thieves hold up a white flag, offering a truce. But Team Rocket, who are unaware of what's really going on, start throwing bombs at everyone. To prevent giving away their secret, Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on them, sending them blasting off.

For all their work, the gang receives a Silver Wing Badge. They are very amazed at seeing it, thinking it may hold a clue to the mysterious Pokémon they saw earlier. The Diglett Village thank Ash and the others, and they head off towards the next town.

==Trivia==
* Music from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and ''[[M02|Power of One]]'' can be heard in this episode.
* The Badge Ash receives in this episode is not an actual Badge, but instead the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Silver Wing}}. Its existence is explored in [[EP219|the following episode]].
* When an old woman says that she is 120 years old, [[Jessie]] claims that that's "ten times [her] age!" However, due to previous episodes, this is possibly a dub error.
** However, after hearing Jessie say this, {{MTR}} responds, "Where did you get that math?" This joke was implied to say that she was older than she really says she is.
** Prior to the airing of this episode, Pokémon.com claimed that Jessie was twelve.
* It appears that Team Rocket breaks the fourth wall within the first few seconds of this episode, but really did not. After the title card and Ash's narration of "Plant It Now... Diglett Later", Jessie says "Did they say... Diglett?" Meowth responds with "I think so." Even though it sounds like Jessie heard Ash reading the title card there is another explanation. Before the intro song begins a Diglett pops out of the ground in the pit where Ash, Misty, and Brock are and they yell out "Diglett!". After the intro song and the title card the story is just starting where it left off and what Jessie really heard was the three yelling out "Diglett!".
* This is the second episode in which the main characters are seen dressed in {{wp|fatigues}} and assembled in a command tent, the first being ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]''.
* The English title of this episode is a reference to the phrase "plant you now, dig you later".

===Errors===
* Misty says that her training with [[Corsola]] helped her get the edge over [[Ash]] in the [[Whirl Cup]], however, [[Misty]] did not use Corsola in her match against Ash, as [[Psyduck]] popped out instead.
* When the old lady say, "I am 120". [[Jessie]] replies, "that's ten times my age", that would make her 12 even though she is passed her 20's.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

After reaching the town where the preliminary round of the Whirl Cup is held, Ash and Misty enter and earn the two victories required to continue on to the finals. A friend they had met earlier is not as fortunate. When Misty tries to console him with promises of the next Whirl Cup to be held in three years, he remains depressed, saying that it was not lack of ability but the low spirits of his Octillery that had brought about his defeat. The Pokémon had been depressed ever since it evolved from a Remoraid and was subsequently spurned by its onetime Remoraid friends. If the boy cannot somehow mend these friendships between Pokémon that have now grown different in appearance, he doesn't see any hopes of victory even in three years time. Ash and friends willingly lend their knowledge and enthusiasm to this problem of Pokémon sociology.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} have finally reached the main island where the [[Whirl Cup]] will be held. Ash and {{an|Misty}} go on with their talking about their dreams and such when finally they head over to the [[Pokémon Center]] for some info. Obviously it seems like they're not the only ones who want to enter. They wait in a long line for while and finally they get to the front desk. {{an|Brock}} goes off with flirting with [[Nurse Joy]] when Misty finally puts him out of the picture for a while. Ash and Misty register and it looks like there's going to be a qualifying match before the tournament. She shows a picture of the tournament tree, only sixteen entries available. {{TRT}} spies from the outside of the Center and comes up with another plan. They want to swipe any good {{t|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and give it to {{an|Giovanni|the Boss}}, but {{MTR}} wants a "Theme Park."

While the gang walks around town, they notice a boy walking around all down in the dumps. Misty goes up and asks him if he's alright. The boy replies only asking if any of them are in the tournament, which Misty says yes. Immediately the boy introduces himself as [[Marcellus]] and asks if any of them would {{pkmn|battle}}, or {{pkmn|training|train}} for a while. Misty accepts and they head off to a battle site. The site is covered in water, only having two stones as {{pkmn|Trainer}} boxes plus four pillars. Marcellus says that this is supposed to simulate what the real arena looks like. Both get ready, Marcellus sends out {{p|Remoraid}} and Misty calls upon {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}. Marcellus commands Remoraid to use {{m|Water Gun}}, which Corsola counters with {{m|Mirror Coat}}, knocking back the Remoraid but not [[fainting|knocking it out]]. Corsola goes for a {{m|Tackle}} but Remoraid dives underneath and Corsola hits one of the pillars. It seems like Remoraid is nowhere to be seen but soon it is spotted on a wave. Marcellus tells Remoraid to use another Water Gun and this time it knocks Corsola out. Remoraid then [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Octillery}}. Marcellus thanks them and heads off. It's late night back at the Pokémon Center and Ash and Misty have a big day tomorrow. Ash asks {{AP|Pikachu}} to be his support while Misty asks {{an|Brock}} to keep {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} company while battling.

The next day, the matches are quick to end. On Ash's side, it was {{AP|Totodile}} vs. {{p|Seel}} followed by Totodile vs. {{p|Shellder}}, while Misty's was Corsola vs. {{p|Seaking}} and {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} vs. {{p|Magikarp}}. After their matches, the three join up at the Pokémon Center where they see Marcellus again, but this time he seems down. Ash asks if he didn't make it, but Misty shoves him off and asks what's up. Marcellus explains that there's something going on with his Octillery lately. They go over to his house where they go in a room full of Remoraid in an aquarium. Marcellus releases his Octillery and it goes inside the tank, towards the school of Remoraid. The Remoraid, however shift to the opposite direction of Octillery. Octillery follows but again they shift to the other side. This continues until the Remoraid finally shoots out Water Gun at Octillery, which it goes in jar. They now understand the situation. After a few ideas, they dress up Ash in an Octillery costume, much to Ash's chagrin. Ash tries to lure out the Octillery but instead gets shot at. Maybe there's another way... but they put that on hold for now.

During the night, Team Rocket slip in and commence their plan, get the Remoraid since it seems to be the easiest to steal. The gang and Marcellus are about to start dinner when they hear a funny noise. Marcellus says he'll check it out. When he gets there, he flips on the light switch and sees Team Rocket. Immediately they go off with their {{motto}}, Marcellus not getting the idea until he sees the tanks are empty. Ash comes in and sees Team Rocket, however they make their escape in a truck and drives off. Looks like they can't catch up, but they notice puddles on the ground. Looks like Octillery left a trail.

Team Rocket stop at the port where a boat is already waiting. Meowth goes and operates the crane while [[James]] opens up the back. While Meowth is operating, Octillery comes up unnoticed and starts smothering Meowth. [[Jessie]] and James pull off Octillery but soon it goes in a mad rage tackling Team Rocket to the ground. Soon Octillery bashes the aquarium until it cracks open, releasing all the Remoraid into the ocean water. Now the gang has caught up, but Team Rocket isn't giving up. Meowth tries to grab Octillery with the crane, making a few unsuccessful moves but finally getting it. Ash is about to have Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}} but Meowth laughs saying "Do that and Octillery here is toast". With no other option, the Remoraid all fire at the crane, causing Octillery to go flying. But the Remoraid save it with Water Gun, sending it back onto the port. Pikachu then releases Thunderbolt followed by Octillery shooting an {{m|Octazooka}}, blowing Team Rocket sky high. After the battle, the Remoraid soon evolve into Octillery themselves and it looks like Marcellus's Octillery won't be lonely.

The next day, the finalist Trainers await at a cliff to watch the Whirl Cup Stadium, partially flooded, rise. It looks like the real battle just begun.

**It could be that Jessie once told about her childhood nightmare about that particular teacher to James.

==Blurb==

Our heroes narrowly miss the ferry to Redrock Isle, but are fortunate enough to bump into a Pokémon researcher and a deep-sea diver who offers to carry them across the strait in her boat. En route they learn of a longstanding goal she is just now attempting to reach—her great-grandfather had made a valuable discovery, but been discredited when the find was lost in a shipwreck, the location of which she has only recently discovered. Excited by her tale, the young Pokémon Trainers decide to accompany her in a dive down to the ruined ship and witness as she recovers the article that will restore her great-grandfather's honor in the scientific community. Their attempts to approach the sunken ship, however, are routed by an aggressive Mantine and a number of Remoraid. In order to take up her great-grandfather's legacy, this researcher, with the help of Ash and friends, must first explain the strange defensive behavior of these Pokémon.

==Plot==
It seems as if {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} now are in a hurry for something, and they are. They try to make it to the dock to catch the next ferry to the next island, but it's too late, the boat is already long gone. {{an|Misty}} asks a local sailor when the next ferry will come, the reply being tomorrow. They sulk for a while, what are they going to do for a day? A girl comes by with scuba equipment and takes notice of them and asks what's wrong. Misty replies and {{an|Brock}} butts in with his usual act. The girl tells them her name, [[Luka]]. Luka says that she'll give Ash and his friends a ride to the next island since she's going out to sea anyways. {{TRT}}, spying on them in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp submarine]], decides to follow them and see what they're up to.

On the boat, Ash goes to where the wheel is and notices a picture of a map of the ocean with a noticeable X in the middle. Ash asks Luka what the picture of the map is about, she says that it's the spot where a ship had sunk with a valuable in it. This catches Ash and Brock's attention, asking things like "is it gold?" and such. Luka thinks it's the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Silver Wing}}. She shows them another picture of a man, her grandfather. She explains that he lead an expedition to find the sunken ship and the Silver Wing, but hadn't come back since. She looked at his notes and finally determined where the sunken ship was. Ash offers to help with finding the ship, after all, why not? Luka accepts the offer and soon they get ready to go underwater.

Luka releases three {{p|Magikarp}} as their guides and she and Ash go underwater. {{AP|Pikachu}} tries to do the same, but Brock stops Pikachu before he can jump in. Underwater seemed to be another world of its own. When they got to the ship, Luka sent the Magikarp to scout. All of a sudden a {{p|Mantine}} approaches the Magikarp and scares them off like he is guarding the place. Looks like they won't get anywhere near the ship if the Mantine is guarding it. They resurface for some thinking. They come up with a plan that Pikachu should go with them and shock Mantine so it wouldn't be much of a problem. So Ash, Luka, and Pikachu dive into the water towards the sunken ship. This time, Ash and Pikachu scout out to lure the Mantine and possibly try to get Pikachu to shock it. While the Mantine is after Ash, Luka goes right ahead into a breach to explore, but she soon notices a strange light. Meanwhile, Pikachu gets a successful grab on Mantine and is about to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but is shot at by a {{p|Remoraid}}. Looks like the same fate for Luka as well. Now they know they have two obstacles to tackle, Mantine and Remoraid.

Though it seems almost a no chance to get the Silver Wing, Ash and Misty decide on using their {{t|Water}} Pokémon and see if they can fight their way in. Ash calls out {{AP|Totodile}}, Misty using {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, and {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}. Psyduck soon splashes around frantically and has to be pulled back up with a lifesaver. Ash, Misty, Pikachu, and Luka soon go into the water, again for the boat. However, when they get to the boat, there seems to be a fight already. Team Rocket's sub was caught by Mantine and they got caught in a {{pkmn|battle}}. Using this, the party just zips right into the ship. Ash, Misty, and Luka split up to find anything. Luka notices something and looks behind a wall, seeing a bunch of Remoraid children surrounding something. Ash and Misty come over to see.

Team Rocket soon tries to smash into the Mantine but ends up smashing into the boat. The shock causes all the Remoraid children to scatter, exposing the small chest. Luka picks it up and they head back... but it looks like they ran right into Team Rocket's sub! They begin off with their {{motto}} on a projection and then swipe the chest and goes off. Mantine catches Team Rocket and again they go into a fight. However, Team Rocket uses a tongue-like thing to try to restrain Mantine. The Remoraid helpers shoot the tongue and Mantine breaks free. But it's not the end, Team Rocket launches a net and traps Mantine and the Remoraid. Ash and Misty have Totodile, Staryu, and Corsola tear open the net. They do but Team Rocket already makes a fast retreat. Ash tries to catch up with them but can't. Soon Mantine comes by to help and Ash gets on it. Mantine soon catches up with the sub and Pikachu goes over to one eye, knocking on it. Team Rocket look around, seeing Pikachu on their little monitor, and soon they blow sky high. The chest falls but Mantine, with Ash still on it, jumps out of the water into the air and Ash catches the chest!

Luka thanks the Mantine and Remoraid for their help and the Water Pokémon swim off. She opens up the chest, only revealing a box. She opens the box and finds the Silver Wing resting in it. She picks it up and they look at its radiance for a while. The next day, they make it to the next island, and the beginning of the Whirl Cup Tournament.

'''Fly Me to the Moon''' (Japanese: '''ポッポとデカポッポ！まだみぬそらへ！！''' ''{{tt|Poppo|Pidgey}} and the Enormous {{tt|Poppo|Pidgey}}! Towards the As Yet Unseen Sky!!''), is the 211th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 16, 2001 and in the United States on September 21, 2002.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Our heroes discover an island on which the Pidgey population—long protected by environmental regulation and free from predators—has grown to unusually stout proportions and virtually abandoned any desire for flight. There Ash and friends find one Pidgey, however, in which the desire to soar through the heavens burns more fiercely than even in Pidgey from beyond this island. Anxious to see this Pidgey achieve its dreams, the young trainers join with the Pidgey's trainer and follow the Pokémon in a jet-assisted hot air balloon, tracking its flight as the Pidgey climbs higher into the stratosphere than any Pokémon in history.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} set off exploring the first island of the [[Whirl Cup]] for a while. {{an|Misty}} spots four {{p|Corsola}} and starts going off with her little speech about being the best {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Trainer]] there is. Although she wants a Corsola, she can't get one because she doesn't have a boat. A man comes by and says it would be impossible either way, pointing out the {{m|whirlpool}}s all around. He says he's [[Wilbur]], one of the people who live on the island. He invites them over to his place, which is across a river. As they get to the bridge (a rope bridge), no one really wants to go. Misty goes on first for some reason and everyone follows. A wind begins to blow and it spins the bridge around and throws them to the other side. Afterward, Wilbur calls out and a flock of {{p|Pidgey}} come towards him. The Pidgey don't look normal, they look chubbier. {{TRT}} scopes them out from above, seeing that there could be another good catch for the day.

When they reach Wilbur's house, another Pidgey soars by them and lands on the roof. Wilbur says that's his special Pidgey, [[Orville]]. When they come inside, there's a painting on the wall with a few Pidgey flying towards the sun. Wilbur explains that the other Pidgey are overweight, he really doesn't have a clue why. They call up {{an|Professor Oak}} and he explains that it's probably just their eating habit.

Later Wilbur starts to explain about Orville. A while ago when Orville was still a fledgling, he really got interested in that painting. It also set his aim to {{m|fly}} to the sun, which Wilbur seemed to understand. So he decided to train Orville to fly, which started off to be a good start then improved. One day while Wilbur was [[Pokémon training]] with Orville, he decided to hang-glide towards the ocean and see if Orville was capable. Orville managed for the first few minutes but couldn't keep up and started to lag down towards a whirlpool. Orville then noticed the sun, which reminded him of the painting and soon Orville was able to fly back up and with ease.

Team Rocket, overhearing this, devised a plan that could get them both Orville and {{AP|Pikachu}}. After Wilbur was done, Team Rocket arrived in disguised. They made a proposal that they could help Orville reach his goal, no charge, and they could monitor him from the [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|balloon]]. The deal seemed to be too good to pass up so Wilbur agreed. Later that night, {{MTR}} came over to where Orville was sleeping and started to talk with him, giving him a headset so that they could get communication during the flight tomorrow.

The next day, everyone went inside the balloon and began the ascent. [[James]] activated the rocket boosters and they went high very fast. After the short ascent, Orville took off, going upwards. Meowth made relay conversations during the whole time. While they were watching Pidgey, Ash seemed to notice that he was going for something, a flock of {{p|Spearow}}! Orville went through them still going upwards and the Spearow started to give the chase, but they couldn't catch up to him. Then a {{p|Fearow}} took charge and started to chase after Orville. Seeing that this might cause Orville to fall if he would be attacked, Ash had Pikachu give it a {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

Soon they were pretty high up, everyone had to put on oxygen masks as they watched Orville make his way farther up. Meowth continued the conversation with Orville. Soon they were so high up that even Pikachu and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} who didn't need the masks needed them. Then they saw that Orville had reached an altitude so high, he was growing frost all over. Despite this, Orville kept aiming for the sun. Orville kept thinking as he went and then decided, it was over, he done it. Orville went down for a fast dive towards the ground then finally met altitude with the balloon. Everything looked alright, except for the fact that Orville went through the balloon to break the fall. The balloon started to descend slowly and Orville was in dire need of oxygen, so Meowth grabbed a mask and put it on Orville, and he soon woke up. Except now the hole got bigger and they were plunging towards the ground. The other Pidgey on the ground noticed that the balloon was falling fast. They all started to gather up under the balloon and started jumping up as if they were trying to fly. They managed to {{m|headbutt}} the basket, breaking the fall.

Soon everything was alright for Wilbur and Orville. Orville soon became a hero to the other Pidgey. Meanwhile one of the rocket boosters started off automatically, sending Team Rocket blasting off. The gang said their goodbyes and headed off to the next town.

Team Rocket had crashed onto a cliff tree and are hanging. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} comes out from one of the brush but they wonder where Meowth is. Meowth, sitting on the top branch, was talking to Orville about the moon and maybe he should aim for that.

==Trivia==
* This episode's English title is taken from the song ''{{wp|Fly Me to the Moon}}'' by {{wp|Bart Howard}}.
* This episode was initially going to be called "The Passionate Pidgey."
* The English version of this episode was written by [[Maddie Blaustein]], Meowth's voice actress at the time.
* In the Japanese version, the [[Pocket Monster TV]] commercial break transition/eyecatch changes to a second version from this episode. The new version uses English text and a CG background of [[Poké Ball]]s instead of showing the Pokémon on a [[Pokégear]].
* {{TRT}} use booster rockets for their [[Meowth Balloon]] in this episode. They would later start using them prominently from ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' onwards.
* [[Orville]] and [[Wilbur]] were named after {{wp|Orville and Wilbur Wright}}.
* The overweight, flightless Pidgey in this episode may have been inspired by the {{wp|Dodo}} and other island birds that became flightless with the absence of predators.
* Misty uses variations of several lines from Shakespeare's ''{{wp|Romeo and Juliet}}'' and ''{{wp|Richard III (play)|Richard III}}''.
* Professor Oak mentions that scientists have debated whether or not the overweight Pidgey count as an evolution of the normal Pidgey ("evolution" in the long-term sense). This may mean that [[Pudgy Pidgey Isle]] is an allusion to the {{wp|Galapagos Islands}}, where {{wp|Charles Darwin}} observed multiple unique species of {{wp|Finch|finches}} and developed his theory of {{wp|evolution}}.

===Errors===
* While Orvile is above the earth, one shot of the moon shows it as a crescent, while in the next scene the moon is full.
* Misty uses the word "wherefore" as if it means "where" twice; it actually means "why".
* When [[wobbuffet]] comes out of it's ball, there is no pokeball animation.

===Dub edits===
* Although Wilbur introduces himself in the original version, he doesn't in the dub.

'''Machoke, Machoke Man!''' (Japanese: '''タンバジム！まっこうしょうぶかくとうたいけつ！！''' ''{{tt|Tanba|Cianwood}} Gym! Wrestling Match!!'') is the 209th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 2, 2001 and in the United States on September 7, 2002.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash and his friends are in Cianwood City with Janina, an apprentice at the Olivine Gym. Janina picks up medicine for Olivine Gym Leader Jasmine's ailing Ampharos and returns to Olivine while Ash plans to challenge the Cianwood Gym. Before he does, though, he goes to investigate a man and a Machoke who are sparring on the beach. The man happily orders everyone to the Cianwood Gym—he's none other than Chuck, the Cianwood Gym Leader!

Ash's challenge is accepted and a 2-on-2 Gym battle begins. Chuck starts with a Poliwrath; Pikachu should have the advantage as an Electric-type, but it's defeated by Poliwrath's physical strength and Double-Slap attack. Ash counters with Bayleef, using its type advantage to beat Poliwrath, so Chuck sends in his Machoke. In the meantime, Team Rocket sneaks into the Gym and gobbles up an unattended meal. They're spotted by Chuck's wife, who mistakes them for students and assigns them to chores.

Back at the battle, Bayleef doesn't appear to be making headway. It uses Vine Whip to grab Machoke's arms, starting a tug-of-war, and Ash wants Bayleef to tough it out for a face-to-face battle with Machoke. Machoke reels Bayleef in, but Bayleef turns it around and knocks out Machoke, winning Ash the Storm Badge! Since Jasmine still isn't ready to battle yet, Ash takes up Chuck's suggestion of a detour through the Whirl Islands. Chuck's wife gives them a free ferry pass and our heroes are on their way!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are bound for [[Cianwood City]]. They stop at the Cianwood Pharmacy and the pharmacist gives [[Janina]] the medicine to help [[Amphy|Sparkle]] back on [[Olivine City]]. He also gives her advice to take the express ferry to Olivine City which will get her back before nightfall. Ash and friends watch Janina until she is safely gone.

They stumble upon a training session between a man named [[Chuck]] and his {{p|Machoke}}. Chuck congratulates Machoke on his defensive maneuvers and asks him to switch to offense. The battle persists and Chuck defends all of Machoke's attacks until a {{m|Karate Chop}} connects across his chest. Chuck then orders a {{m|Submission}} attack. Machoke wraps Chuck up and rolls him around the dirt field and tosses him a good distance. Our heroes run over to Chuck to make sure he is okay. Chuck responds to himself that the submission was perfect. Misty and Brock ask Chuck why he would take a Submission attack from his powerful Machoke. He sheds tears and says that he is very proud of him and yelled to Machoke how perfect the Submission was and then Machoke and Chuck hug, both of them shedding tears. Chuck then asks for Ash's name and what brought him to Cianwood. He then brings up the question if Ash is looking for the [[Cianwood Gym]] with a twinkle in his eye.

After Ash answers Chuck's questions, Chuck has Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and the others to march double time over to the Cianwood Gym. Machoke is the first to arrive at the Gym while our heroes ask him to hold up. Once they catch up to Machoke, they are all hunched over, huffing and puffing. Chuck is the last to arrive, and he falls on his hands and knees counting. Brock asks if Chuck is okay while Ash wonders how much further it is to the Gym. Chuck points to it, and it is right in front of them. Then all of his students and {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} come running out of the entrance to meet Chuck. Chuck then introduces himself as the Cianwood [[Gym Leader]] and calls himself the "leanest, meanest, toughest, roughest, fighting [[Pokémon Master]] in all the land... but you can call me Chuck." Then everyone kneels at a large dinner table eating a whole bunch of food, when Chuck's wife walks up to Ash with a pot of food asking him if he is here to battle for a {{Badge|Storm}}. When Ash says yes, she says that she had no problem beating that flabby husband of hers, which Chuck retorted to.

The scene transitions to {{TRT}} walking along the road by the coastline, exhausted from their trip on the boat anchor and with no food to eat. {{MTR}} then sniffs up a food aroma that get [[Jessie]] and [[James]] sniffing and then all three of them start to walk towards where the smell is coming from.

Back at the dinner table, {{an|Misty}} says that the food was delicious while {{an|Brock}} studies the food to be [[Pokémon food|Pokémon Power Food]] to strengthen {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and Pokémon alike and comments on the students' dedication to [[Pokémon training|training]]. Chuck breaks the silence, ready to have the Gym match for the Storm Badge. The scene cuts to the Gym floor. Chuck starts with {{p|Poliwrath}} and Ash starts off with Pikachu and issues a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack, which Poliwrath dodges. Then he orders Pikachu to issue a barrage of Thunderbolts. After two miss, the third one hits Poliwrath. Ash orders Pikachu to do a {{m|Quick Attack}} while Chuck tells Poliwrath to focus its energy. The Quick Attack has no effect on Poliwrath and Pikachu bounces right back off him and back on the ground. Chuck then orders Poliwrath to do a {{m|DoubleSlap}} attack and Pikachu is knocked out of the battle. Chuck starts to cry and acknowledge that even tough guys do the same. Ash thanks Pikachu for doing a good job and tells him to get a little rest.

The scene switches to right outside the Cianwood Gym where Team Rocket come out of the bushes and into the Gym to chow down on the {{DL|In-battle effect item|leftovers}} of the Pokémon Power Food. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} then comes out of its [[Poké Ball]], pushes his way to the pot of leftovers, lifts the pot up to his mouth and starts gulping down food, not sharing it with the other Team Rocket members.

Back at the Gym match, Ash is thinking about choosing {{AP|Bayleef}}, hoping it will have enough strength to beat Poliwrath and Machoke. Ash goes ahead and chooses Bayleef to take on Poliwrath. Chuck commends Ash on his Pokémon choice and for being a strong competitor. Chuck then issues Poliwrath to do a {{m|Water Gun}} attack, which Bayleef dodges. Ash then orders Bayleef to do a {{m|Razor Leaf}} attack, which connects. Then Ash has Bayleef do a {{m|Vine Whip}} which wraps up Poliwrath, holds it up, and {{m|slam}}s Poliwrath back on the ground. Chuck orders Poliwrath to focus its energy, and Poliwrath is wobbling trying to stand up straight. Ash then orders Bayleef to {{m|Body Slam}} Poliwrath. Bayleef jumps high and lands hard on it. When the smoke clears, Poliwrath is unable to battle. Ash thanks Bayleef for a job well done and Misty compliments Ash's strategy and Brock adds that it helped that Pikachu wore Poliwrath down. Chuck goes teary-eyed again and compliments Poliwrath for a well fought battle. Chuck then turns to Machoke and says that the time has come to battle.

Chuck orders a Karate Chop attack on him to psyche Machoke up and help Chuck remain focused. While the Karate Chop connects, Chuck orders Machoke to focus its energy on winning and continue to work on focusing. Ash uses this idea on Bayleef. Ash orders Bayleef to Body Slam him. Bayleef uses her Body Slam attack on Ash, but he manages to hold his ground as he takes the power of the attack, telling Bayleef to stay focused.

The scene cuts to Team Rocket, who are lying on the floor completely stuffed and satisfied from eating the rest of the food on the dinner table in the Gym. Chuck's wife then comes up to them and asks how can she help them. This makes Team Rocket say their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]], in which Chuck's wife interrupts by coming to the conclusion that they are new students to see Chuck. Chuck's wife tells them to wash the dishes, do the laundry, scrub the floors, and make the beds. James tells her that she doesn't understand Team Rocket's purpose for being there and Meowth complains about doing her dirty work. Chuck's wife then tells them it will help build up an appetite for an afternoon snack - steamed dumplings. That gets the Team Rocket trio excited and they dance around just before doing their duties.

The scene cuts away again to the battle. Chuck orders Machoke to focus its energy while Ash orders Bayleef to stay focused. Machoke attempts to attack Bayleef with many Karate Chops, with Bayleef avoiding them as best as she could, but one Karate Chop from Machoke hits Bayleef and she is down on the ground. Chuck then crosses his arms and orders Machoke to do a {{m|Cross Chop}} attack. Ash orders Bayleef to use her Vine Whip attack and she wraps the vines around Machoke's arms, preventing the Cross Chop attack. A tug-of-war ensues where Machoke pulls Bayleef's vines like a rope, but Bayleef resists. Ash and Chuck want their Pokémon to focus their energy to gain the upper hand. Brock then suggests the idea of Bayleef putting slack in her vines for Machoke to lose its footing and fall to the ground. Misty agrees that it will take strategy as well as strength to win the battle.

Machoke, in the mean time, is reeling Bayleef in to it with her vines. When Machoke pulls Bayleef close to it, Chuck orders Machoke to use its Submission attack. Bayleef is sent flying. Ash decrees the match isn't over yet, as long as Bayleef stays focused. Bayleef gathers herself while in mid-air and Ash orders a Vine Whip attack. The Vine Whip wraps up the Machoke and when Bayleef landed, she lifts Machoke up and slams him right back down on the ground. Then Ash orders Bayleef to do a Body Slam on Machoke, which is a direct hit. Before Machoke could recover, Ash orders Bayleef to use Razor Leaf. Machoke is knocked back on the ground again. Machoke is announced as unable to battle! Ash and Bayleef win the match. Bayleef runs over to Ash and he hugs her for doing such a great job in battle. Bayleef then gets up and Body Slams Ash, but Ash holds his ground again and compliments the Body Slam attack she used in the battle.

Chuck then walks up to Ash and commends him on the great battle, and how he hadn't had a battle like that in a long time, and it was no disgrace losing to a Trainer like him. Chuck also says he admires Ash and Bayleef's strategy and that working closely with your Pokémon is the only strategy you need. Ash says his thanks and Chuck hands him the Storm Badge. Ash, Pikachu, and Bayleef celebrate their victory with Machoke, Chuck, his students, Brock, and Misty circled around them.

The scene changes to nightfall and Ash talks to Janina on the phone. Ash asks if Jasmine is able to battle now. Janina then says that the medicine has helped Sparkle feel a lot better, but it will take some time before [[Jasmine]] is up to battling again. Ash fully understands the situation and he will check back with Janina and Jasmine later. Chuck and his wife then offer Ash and his friends to check out the [[Whirl Islands]]. Chuck explains that the Whirl Islands have been the source of myths and legends over the years, including mysterious Pokémon. After some discussion, our heroes decide to go to the Whirl Islands. Chuck's wife then gives Ash a card that will pay for the passage on the ferry as a gift for the great battle against Chuck. Then Chuck's wife talks about her husband's flabbiness and Ash doing something right to beat him. The flabbiness line makes Chuck remember it is time to train.

The scene changes to Team Rocket sitting outside of Cianwood Gym going over the dumplings, dinner, dessert, and other luxuries they had today. They say that it was simply a blast.

The final scene switches to our heroes on the boat that will lead them to the Whirl Islands with Machoke, Chuck, and his wife waving to them giving them luck and wishes on their journey and declaring they are welcome back to visit them anytime. Our heroes wave back and thank them for everything. As they sail to the Whirl Islands, Misty hopes there are many cute {{type|Water}} Pokémon there. Brock hopes there are many cute girls waiting for him on the islands and says that he is on his way. Ash and Pikachu are looking forward to meeting the mysterious Pokémon in the Whirl Islands.

==Trivia==
* This episode's dub title is a reference to the chorus of the {{wp|Village People}} song ''{{wp|Macho Man (song)|Macho Man}}''.
* This episode was the last time [[Pokémon Johto]] was used as the music for the dub's final commercial break's eyecatch. Starting with the next episode, a snippet of the current opening theme is used for the final commercial break's eyecatch, a practice that would continue until [[AG145|the 4Kids dub ended]].
* This is the last episode of the fourth season, ''[[Pokémon: Johto League Champions]]''.
* The focus on Wrestling could be a reference to famous wrestler, Macho Man Randy Savage

===Errors===
* After Pikachu was knocked out, Ash and Brock both said that Bayleef was Ash's only Pokémon left that had a type advantage over Poliwrath. However, Ash still had Bulbasaur with him at this point in the series. In addition, Noctowl's Psychic- and Flying-type attacks both would have been advantageous over both Poliwrath and Machoke.
* In one scene when {{TRT}} are eating food there are a set of trees and bushes behind them, but when the camera angle changes the scene also changes (not including the buildings).
* In the Portuguese Dub, Brock states that Poliwrath is a {{2t|Water|Fire}} type. This is incorrect as Poliwrath is a {{2t|Water|Fighting}} type.
* Brock states that {{m|Submission}} is Machoke's most powerful attack. However, Machoke's {{m|Cross Chop}} has the Base Power 100, while Submission's Base Power is only 80.
* When the students come out and say "Welcome back, Master!" and "Yes!" to Chuck, the Pokémon alongside them appear to be speaking along with them even though they're not supposed to speak the human language.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

The way to Olivine City and Ash's next Gym challenge lies across a desert of sand and rock. Just as Ash and his friends start to cross it, Team Rocket ambushes them and scoops up Pikachu. Cyndaquil is injured in the battle with Team Rocket, which ends when it uses Flamethrower on Weezing's Smokescreen and triggers an explosion that frees Pikachu but knocks Cyndaquil into the depths of the desert. However, local tales say that sick or injured Pokémon that enter the desert will return to their Trainers in great shape, almost as if the desert contains a hidden oasis.

Cyndaquil tries to find its way back, but when it collapses with weariness, other Pokémon come carry it away. After Team Rocket crash lands in the desert, Meowth is spirited away by other Pokémon too! Both injured Pokémon are whisked off to an oasis inside a hollowed-out mountain, where a Miltank heals them both. Team Rocket follows Meowth to the mountain, but they're turned away by a group of Exeggutor guards. Ash and his friends also find their way to the mountain, but use Brock's Onix to burrow past the guards.

Once they get inside, the Pokémon in the oasis spring to its defense. As Meowth explains, this is no place for people—these Pokémon want to be left alone! Team Rocket drops in with their balloon and order Meowth to help steal the Pokémon, but Meowth refuses to battle. Team Rocket's other Pokémon refuse to attack, too! Undeterred, Team Rocket grabs Miltank and overpowers Meowth, but they're soundly beaten by Cyndaquil. Now that Miltank and the other oasis Pokémon realize Ash means no harm, he can reunite with Cyndaquil and peacefully continue on his way.

==Plot==
Seems the road to [[Olivine City]] is a bit longer than expected, as {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stare upon a large desert badlands. They start to go and Ash suddenly gets caught in a hole, {{AP|Pikachu}} getting caught by a net. {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} look up, and who shows up? {{TRT}}. They say their {{motto}} but Brock and Misty just help Ash out. Well... looks like the usual, Ash calls out his {{AP|Cyndaquil}} to make short work of this. [[James]] sends {{TP|James|Weezing}} and Cyndaquil clings on it, about to use {{m|Flamethrower}} just up close. Weezing shakes Cyndaquil off and Cyndaquil lands on the ground, head first. When it gets up, a swelling grows on its nose, making it a bit weak. Team Rocket poke fun at Cyndaquil for a while and then James tells Weezing to use {{m|Sludge}}, Ash blocking the attack. Ash tells Cyndaquil to use Flamethrower again and after feeling somewhat self-conscious, Cyndaquil does so; however, Weezing uses {{m|SmokeScreen}} at the same time, causing a massive explosion that sends Team Rocket and Cyndaquil blasting off. Afterward, Ash tries to look for Cyndaquil but it seems not to work well. Brock suggests they go to the local [[Pokémon Center]] for any clues.

Meanwhile, Cyndaquil wakes up and finds that it's lost and just tries to find a way around. A {{p|Sentret}} spies on it and calls out, a {{p|Butterfree}} and {{p|Sandshrew}} start to spy on Cyndaquil as well. Soon Cyndaquil collapses and then the Butterfree hovers above it. A {{p|Dugtrio}} soon picks Cyndaquil up and starts to carry him off somewhere.

At the Pokémon Center, Joy tells the gang that there's a legend about a sanctuary place for Pokémon in this desert. More likely Cyndaquil is there. Ash heads out, Brock and Misty following; however, Joy didn't tell them where the sanctuary was.

Team Rocket start to complain about the mess they're in until they see Cyndaquil being carried off. The want to get it but [[Jessie]] and James don't want to go, so they just throw {{MTR}} down. Meowth lands on his face and gets his nose hurt too, causing another Dugtrio to carry him off with Cyndaquil. Jessie and James try to get out of the [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|balloon]] and end up falling down. They follow the two Dugtrio.

Ash seems to find nothing much out in the desert, but Pikachu spots a couple of {{p|Quagsire}} up upon a hill. The {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} start to walk away from them calmly and the gang takes a hunch and follows them.

Jessie and James see that Cyndaquil and Meowth are taken into a mesa, with a wall of {{p|Exeggutor}} in front of the entrance. The two Pokémon are passed onto an Exeggutor and then they are carried into an oasis inside the mesa. (looks like the one in {{p|Mewtwo}} Lives) The two Pokémon stare around for a while, seeing that other Pokémon are running around enjoying this place. The Exeggutor calls out and a {{p|Miltank}} comes out of a hole in a tree. The Miltank walks up to them, greets them and proceeds to her work. She places a hoof on Cyndaquil's swollen nose and her tail starts to glow along with her hoof and then Cyndaquil, the swell gone in an instant. She then does the same to Meowth and his nose injury goes away as well. Seeing that they aren't coming out, Jessie and James make a run for it to the entrance, but the Exeggutor use {{m|Hypnosis}} and lead them out far away.

The gang finds a mesa, which might be the one. They see Jessie and James walk by, but they just walk by. Brock takes a notice of the Exeggutor in the distance, a direct approach won't work. Brock uses {{TP|Brock|Onix}} and they {{m|dig}} underground to the mesa.

Jessie and James suddenly slam into a stone monolithic object and snap out of it. Seeing that they are back to their balloon. They soon get angry now that they are in the middle of nowhere, but James suggest they go for a little ride over there.

The gang make it to a tunnel with a river, Brock pointing out they should follow the light. They reach the sanctuary and Ash finds Cyndaquil and calls out to him. Which proves to be a mistake, soon all the Pokémon within the Mesa get angry and groups of {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Pidgeotto}} and {{p|Krabby}} surround them. Ash decides the only way is to jump and he does so followed by Pikachu. They get to the surface but the Pokémon in the sanctuary won't let Cyndaquil go to Ash and vice versa. Soon enough Team Rocket interrupts their little dilemma and decide to take the Pokémon in the sanctuary. They send out everything they got and order them to attack but Meowth stops them, saying that he doesn't want any harm to Miltank. This makes all of Team Rocket's Pokémon actually stop and not obey Jessie and James. Finding this useless, Jessie and James call them back and decide to take Miltank by other force. James shoots out a net and captures Miltank. Meowth grabs onto the net as the net climbs and gets up there but Jessie and James restrain Meowth before he could do anything. Ash tells Cyndaquil to use Flamethrower to the max and it does so, only cutting the rope that held the net. Ash quickly sends out {{AP|Bayleef}} to use {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the net so Miltank can get out, Miltank landing safely in the water. Ash finishes the Team by a jolt of {{m|Thunderbolt}} by Pikachu which sends them flying sky-high.

Ash is glad to see Cyndaquil again and that's it's feeling much better. And soon the Pokémon in the sanctuary respect Ash and the gang as they promise they won't tell anyone about the sanctuary. They head out towards Olivine City saying their goodbyes.

[[File:Miltank Milk Drink.png|thumb|200px|right|Meowth and Cyndaquil sucking on Miltank's udder]]
* This episode's dub title is a reference to the famous advertising slogan, "{{wp|Got Milk?}}"
* When battling Team Rocket, Ash's Cyndaquil hits the ground hard and ends up with a big red bump on it's nose and Meowth teases it by saying "Look, it's Cyndaquil the red-nosed Pokémon!" Jessie is then shown with a red nose over her actual nose, making a reference to the classic Christmas movie "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer".

===Errors===
* The scenes where {{MTR}} acknowledges that he did hurt his nose, is a direct contradiction to ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'' where he points out while [[breaking the fourth wall]], that he never had a nose.
* When [[Victreebel]] comes out of its Ball, its "lips" are colored brown instead of red.
* In one scene, the black outlines around the red/yellow "eyes" in {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s pattern are missing.
* When [[Jessie]] steals [[pikachu]] in the opening scene and jump into there ballon, the net they used to capture pikachu is behind the pole but when the scene changes it appears in front of them.
* When cyndaquil uses flamethrower it's cry is delayed by a few seconds.

===Dub edits===
* There are about 45 seconds of this episode which were removed from the English dub. The scene where {{MTR}} talks to Miltank about how Pokémon come to the oasis for healing was heavily cut. In the original Japanese version, Meowth speaks to Miltank about the aforementioned details. Then, Meowth and Ash's Cyndaquil start to suck on Miltank’s udder for nourishment. All references and shots of Meowth and Cyndaquil sucking on Miltank's udder were cut from the English dub, although when Ash enters the cave, Brock refers to the use of {{m|Milk Drink}}, and a teat can be seen in Cyndaquil's mouth for about a second.

==Blurb==

The way to Olivine City and Ash's next Gym challenge lies across a desert of sand and rock. Just as Ash and his friends start to cross it, Team Rocket ambushes them and scoops up Pikachu. Cyndaquil is injured in the battle with Team Rocket, which ends when it uses Flamethrower on Weezing's Smokescreen and triggers an explosion that frees Pikachu but knocks Cyndaquil into the depths of the desert. However, local tales say that sick or injured Pokémon that enter the desert will return to their Trainers in great shape, almost as if the desert contains a hidden oasis.

Cyndaquil tries to find its way back, but when it collapses with weariness, other Pokémon come carry it away. After Team Rocket crash lands in the desert, Meowth is spirited away by other Pokémon too! Both injured Pokémon are whisked off to an oasis inside a hollowed-out mountain, where a Miltank heals them both. Team Rocket follows Meowth to the mountain, but they're turned away by a group of Exeggutor guards. Ash and his friends also find their way to the mountain, but use Brock's Onix to burrow past the guards.

Once they get inside, the Pokémon in the oasis spring to its defense. As Meowth explains, this is no place for people—these Pokémon want to be left alone! Team Rocket drops in with their balloon and order Meowth to help steal the Pokémon, but Meowth refuses to battle. Team Rocket's other Pokémon refuse to attack, too! Undeterred, Team Rocket grabs Miltank and overpowers Meowth, but they're soundly beaten by Cyndaquil. Now that Miltank and the other oasis Pokémon realize Ash means no harm, he can reunite with Cyndaquil and peacefully continue on his way.

==Plot==
Seems the road to [[Olivine City]] is a bit longer than expected, as {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stare upon a large desert badlands. They start to go and Ash suddenly gets caught in a hole, {{AP|Pikachu}} getting caught by a net. {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} look up, and who shows up? {{TRT}}. They say their {{motto}} but Brock and Misty just help Ash out. Well... looks like the usual, Ash calls out his {{AP|Cyndaquil}} to make short work of this. [[James]] sends {{TP|James|Weezing}} and Cyndaquil clings on it, about to use {{m|Flamethrower}} just up close. Weezing shakes Cyndaquil off and Cyndaquil lands on the ground, head first. When it gets up, a swelling grows on its nose, making it a bit weak. Team Rocket poke fun at Cyndaquil for a while and then James tells Weezing to use {{m|Sludge}}, Ash blocking the attack. Ash tells Cyndaquil to use Flamethrower again and after feeling somewhat self-conscious, Cyndaquil does so; however, Weezing uses {{m|SmokeScreen}} at the same time, causing a massive explosion that sends Team Rocket and Cyndaquil blasting off. Afterward, Ash tries to look for Cyndaquil but it seems not to work well. Brock suggests they go to the local [[Pokémon Center]] for any clues.

Meanwhile, Cyndaquil wakes up and finds that it's lost and just tries to find a way around. A {{p|Sentret}} spies on it and calls out, a {{p|Butterfree}} and {{p|Sandshrew}} start to spy on Cyndaquil as well. Soon Cyndaquil collapses and then the Butterfree hovers above it. A {{p|Dugtrio}} soon picks Cyndaquil up and starts to carry him off somewhere.

At the Pokémon Center, Joy tells the gang that there's a legend about a sanctuary place for Pokémon in this desert. More likely Cyndaquil is there. Ash heads out, Brock and Misty following; however, Joy didn't tell them where the sanctuary was.

Team Rocket start to complain about the mess they're in until they see Cyndaquil being carried off. The want to get it but [[Jessie]] and James don't want to go, so they just throw {{MTR}} down. Meowth lands on his face and gets his nose hurt too, causing another Dugtrio to carry him off with Cyndaquil. Jessie and James try to get out of the [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|balloon]] and end up falling down. They follow the two Dugtrio.

Ash seems to find nothing much out in the desert, but Pikachu spots a couple of {{p|Quagsire}} up upon a hill. The {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} start to walk away from them calmly and the gang takes a hunch and follows them.

Jessie and James see that Cyndaquil and Meowth are taken into a mesa, with a wall of {{p|Exeggutor}} in front of the entrance. The two Pokémon are passed onto an Exeggutor and then they are carried into an oasis inside the mesa. (looks like the one in {{p|Mewtwo}} Lives) The two Pokémon stare around for a while, seeing that other Pokémon are running around enjoying this place. The Exeggutor calls out and a {{p|Miltank}} comes out of a hole in a tree. The Miltank walks up to them, greets them and proceeds to her work. She places a hoof on Cyndaquil's swollen nose and her tail starts to glow along with her hoof and then Cyndaquil, the swell gone in an instant. She then does the same to Meowth and his nose injury goes away as well. Seeing that they aren't coming out, Jessie and James make a run for it to the entrance, but the Exeggutor use {{m|Hypnosis}} and lead them out far away.

The gang finds a mesa, which might be the one. They see Jessie and James walk by, but they just walk by. Brock takes a notice of the Exeggutor in the distance, a direct approach won't work. Brock uses {{TP|Brock|Onix}} and they {{m|dig}} underground to the mesa.

Jessie and James suddenly slam into a stone monolithic object and snap out of it. Seeing that they are back to their balloon. They soon get angry now that they are in the middle of nowhere, but James suggest they go for a little ride over there.

The gang make it to a tunnel with a river, Brock pointing out they should follow the light. They reach the sanctuary and Ash finds Cyndaquil and calls out to him. Which proves to be a mistake, soon all the Pokémon within the Mesa get angry and groups of {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Pidgeotto}} and {{p|Krabby}} surround them. Ash decides the only way is to jump and he does so followed by Pikachu. They get to the surface but the Pokémon in the sanctuary won't let Cyndaquil go to Ash and vice versa. Soon enough Team Rocket interrupts their little dilemma and decide to take the Pokémon in the sanctuary. They send out everything they got and order them to attack but Meowth stops them, saying that he doesn't want any harm to Miltank. This makes all of Team Rocket's Pokémon actually stop and not obey Jessie and James. Finding this useless, Jessie and James call them back and decide to take Miltank by other force. James shoots out a net and captures Miltank. Meowth grabs onto the net as the net climbs and gets up there but Jessie and James restrain Meowth before he could do anything. Ash tells Cyndaquil to use Flamethrower to the max and it does so, only cutting the rope that held the net. Ash quickly sends out {{AP|Bayleef}} to use {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the net so Miltank can get out, Miltank landing safely in the water. Ash finishes the Team by a jolt of {{m|Thunderbolt}} by Pikachu which sends them flying sky-high.

Ash is glad to see Cyndaquil again and that's it's feeling much better. And soon the Pokémon in the sanctuary respect Ash and the gang as they promise they won't tell anyone about the sanctuary. They head out towards Olivine City saying their goodbyes.

===Dub edits===
* There are about 45 seconds of this episode which were removed from the English dub. The scene where {{MTR}} talks to Miltank about how Pokémon come to the oasis for healing was heavily cut.

All references and shots of Meowth and Cyndaquil sucking on Miltank's udder were cut from the English dub, although when Ash enters the cave, Brock refers to the use of {{m|Milk Drink}}, and a teat can be seen in Cyndaquil's mouth for about a second.

==Blurb==

The Nurse Joy at Lake Lucid's Pokémon Center is famous among Water-type Pokémon Trainers, so Misty is thrilled when our heroes' travels take them to the lake. Lake Lucid's Nurse Joy is the third generation of Nurse Joys who have turned Lake Lucid from a toxic pool to a crystal-clear lake where Water-type Pokémon come to rest and recuperate, and she's one of Misty's long-time heroes.

Everything goes swimmingly until Misty asks Nurse Joy to examine her Water-type Pokémon. This Nurse Joy actually hates Water-type Pokémon, and she's hated them ever since some Remoraid frightened her when she was a child! Even though Nurse Joy says she still understands Water-type Pokémon and doesn't let personal feelings impair her ability to do her job, Misty refuses to believe a word of it. She's angry and distraught that her idol doesn't even want to touch Water-type Pokémon without putting on a special protective suit.

Misty's tour of the Pokémon Center is interrupted by Team Rocket, who burst in with a beat-up Tentacruel submarine and try to steal the Center's Pokémon. They're soon defeated, but Nurse Joy's protective suit is lost and a Gyarados becomes agitated when its tank is destroyed. As the only one with the training and experience to handle the situation, Nurse Joy steps up and calms Gyarados down, suit or no suit—she may hate Water-type Pokémon, but her duty takes precedence over fear. Even though Nurse Joy isn't magically cured of her hatred for Water Pokémon, Misty realizes she may have judged too harshly and leaves with a newfound respect for Nurse Joy's dedication.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stare upon a [[Pokémon Center]] across a [[Lake Lucid|fairly large river]]. It seems to be popular for its specialty of caring for {{type|Water}} Pokémon. As they look, {{AP|Pikachu}} notices something from the water, which a person in a full scuba suit holding a {{p|Goldeen}} comes out. The person speaks and two {{p|Chansey}} come along with a fish tank. Given the sign, [[Nurse Joy]] is behind the suit. She puts the Goldeen in the tank and the suit opens up the top half part. {{an|Brock}} does the usual thing he does whenever he encounters a Joy. {{an|Misty}} seems to look up to her as well, because of the specialty of caring for Water Pokémon. Joy goes off mentioning her work to them, and gives a short admiration of Pikachu for a while.

Soon afterward the Pokémon appear to be fighting, but in reality seemingly [[Pokémon training]] or of some sort. They seem to be using the same ability on one another. {{TRT}} is spying on them a little ways, in a [[Team Rocket's mechas|Tentacruel submarine]]. They plan to get the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the center but are cut short when a {{p|Tentacruel}} mistakes them for another.

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

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

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

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

Gyarados starts writhing in pain for a while. Joy takes a stand and decides to help out Gyarados for now, even without her suit. She goes up but gets butterflies in her stomach, but she persists. She calms Gyarados down and the Chansey get another cast for Gyarados and place it on. Soon afterward, Joy collapses from the holding all that shock. Afterward, Joy still says she doesn't like Water Pokémon, but as a Pokémon nurse, she has to try her best. Misty gives her some encouragement and the gang heads off to their destination.

==Blurb==

Taking a rest from their exhausting expedition, our heroes settle down in a small field near a stream to enjoy a mid-day meal. Ash releases his Pokémon from their Poké Balls so they too can enjoy a well deserved break. Overly excited to see Ash, Bayleef runs towards him at full-tilt. Inadvertently, Bayleef uses Tackle Attack and knocks Ash for a loop. When Bayleef's uncontrollable affection becomes too much for Ash, he looses his temper and says something spiteful. Ash tells Bayleef to go away and stay away! When Ash can't find Bayleef after lunch, the gang goes on a search and rescue mission. With Pikachu following Bayleef's scent, the crew winds up at an old woman's house. She explains how she found Bayleef, hurt and weak near the river's bank. When Ash tries to re-claim his Pokémon, Bayleef simply ignores him. It is clear Bayleef would rather stay with the kind old woman and her Pokémon than continue the journey with Ash. Will Ash be able to win back Bayleef's trust and affection?

==Plot==
While traveling to their next destination, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} decide to take a rest in the clearing of the forest. Ash decides [[party|to release his Pokémon]] to play. Despite having recently evolved, {{AP|Bayleef}}'s affections towards Ash still exist, and she doesn't seem to realize that her body is much larger than it was when she was a {{p|Chikorita}} and Ash can't take her charging up to him. So upon releasing, she runs towards Ash and unintentionally {{m|tackle}}s him. Bayleef is sort of confused but still doesn't understand that her size is the problem. Later they play a fetching game. {{AP|Noctowl}} carries the stick some ways and Ash's other Pokémon follow. Obviously Bayleef is determined to win and she does so very easily, her size knocking the other Pokémon away. She then runs to Ash and again tackles him accidentally sending Ash towards a nearby stream. She starts to get the picture now.

Finally it's lunch time and Ash starts carry some food towards the table but he's momentarily distracted by {{AP|Totodile}}, who seems to want some. Bayleef comes by as well, but she knows that if she runs to Ash, Ash will scold at her. So she walks up to Ash. Ash sees her and just scolds at Bayleef anyways, telling her that {{an|Brock}} worked hard to make the food, and he'll spill it if she tackles him. He then tells Bayleef to 'get away and stay away'. Bayleef is really hurt by Ash's harsh words and runs off without Ash knowing. While they are eating, {{an|Misty}} notices that Bayleef is gone, and tells Ash.

Bayleef comes to a river and kicks a rock towards it in anger. Then she kicks another rock towards some bush, causing some {{p|Beedrill}} to come out and chase after her. She runs but she steps on a loose rock and falls into the river.

An old woman is walking along the river with a {{p|Machoke}} carrying some flowers. She notices Bayleef on the shore, unconscious and decides to take her in. Bayleef wakes up, near a fireplace under a blanket. She looks around and the old woman comes in with Machoke and offers Bayleef a bowl of cream stew which she enjoys. The old woman offers to help Bayleef find her trainer but Bayleef, believing Ash to no longer care for her, refuses to and the old woman says that Bayleef is welcome to stay with her and the other Pokémon living there. Bayleef looks around in the room, noticing a {{p|Bellossom}} and {{p|Skiploom}}. The old woman introduces them and they become friends.

Meanwhile, Ash is searching around for Bayleef unable to understand why she ran away when Misty tells Ash off for how he spoke to Bayleef earlier. {{AP|Pikachu}} gets a scent and they follow it. They come up to the broken off part where Bayleef fell into the river. Ash is now filled with guilt over how he treated Bayleef and is determined to save her. They walk further more down almost giving up, then {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} notices a house. They go up to it and Ash knocks on the door. He tries a couple times and Misty sees there's a garden just around the house. They go over there, seeing the old lady, Machoke, Bellossom, Skiploom, and Bayleef. Ash goes up to Bayleef but Skiploom tackles Ash, preventing him from stepping on the flowers. The old lady goes up to them and exchange names. The old lady, [[Haruno]], takes care of the garden along with the others. Ash explains he's trying to get Bayleef back and tries apologizing to her, but Bayleef refuses. Brock suggests the {{pkmn|food}} trick, but Misty comments "How's that going to work?". Ash tries it anyways, carrying a plate of fruits. Bayleef still refuses Ash.

Haruno and the gang sits down for some [[tea]], Ash still trying to figure out a way to get Bayleef back. Seeing that Bayleef and Skiploom are watering the flowers, Ash tries again this time he's trying to help out Bayleef. Stubborn as she is, again she still refuses. Ash starts to plead but she attacks Ash with a swift motion of her leaf. They are interrupted when {{TRT}} shows up in a [[Team Rocket's mechas|huge Bayleef robot]] and chases them down.

Team Rocket uses the {{m|Vine Whip}} attack to snag Skiploom, Bellossom, Pikachu and Bayleef. Haruno tries to talk them into stopping but she ends up in front of the robot's path. Machoke makes the move and gets her out of the way. Team Rocket then flees but Ash pursues them. He finds a path to higher ground and the jumps onto the big robot. Landing on the leaf on the head. Team Rocket makes the robot simply just stomp to throw Ash around which is successful, but only resulting in throwing Ash to the container where the stolen {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are. Ash sees in and tires to break it, but it's tempered glass. The others help and Ash starts to try to pry the container out. Ash starts to persuade Bayleef to help him out, but she won't accept. But after seeing how hard Ash is try to help her, she understands that Ash does care. She starts to help in prying the container out by bashing on one side. The plan works and all the Pokémon become free. Ash tells Bayleef to use {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut a side of it and Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} to shock the inside. This knocks the huge bot down.

They climb down the behemoth. However, Team Rocket isn't going to give up, they use Vine Whip again, but Bayleef cuts the vines with Razor Leaf. Pikachu then delivers the Thunderbolt to blow them into the sky.

Haruno gives her thanks, and Ash apologizes for causing the problems in the first place. Ash then apologizes to Bayleef for being so inconsiderate, and Bayleef starts to run to him but controls herself and then puts her head down sadly to apologize for tackling him before. Brock notes that Bayleef has certainly learned some self control, and Ash gets down on his knees and tells Bayleef that she should be proud of herself. Bayleef puts her front paws in Ash's hands, but ends up lifting herself up and ends up on top of him. Everyone is surprised, and Brock tells Ash that Bayleef has just learned {{m|Body Slam}}. Ash congratulates Bayleef on her achievement, and the gang prepare to continue on to [[Olivine City]] and Ash's next Gym Battle.

==Blurb==

Nearing Olivine City, our heroes notice a field full of windmills. Brock explains the windmills are used to generate electricity. Deciding the breezy windmill field is a nice place to take a break and get some fresh air, our heroes release their Pokémon from their Poké Balls and begin to set up a picnic. When Ash and Chikorita go looking for firewood, they stumble upon a concrete building with the front door wide open. Curious, the duo enter and are promptly locked in when a strong gust of wind shuts the heavy electric door. Hearing Ash's cries for help, Pikachu races towards the building, followed by Brock and Misty. While Brock contacts the electric company for help, Ash decides to descend the floors of the compound and locates the building's power source. He and Chikorita must battle their way through the scores of security systems in place... Electric-type Pokémon!

==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} stop in a large field near a wind power generator in order to take a break. Ash releases {{DL|Ash Ketchum|Pokémon|all his Pokémon}} for a little rest and some play time while Misty and Brock seemingly sit around. {{TRT}} is spying on them from behind the wind generators. [[Jessie]] tries to think of a plan that might get all of Ash's Pokémon, but James suggests they eat first. Then, all their stomachs growl, which convinces Jessie.

They find a building nearby and [[James]] knocks on the door. After a few tries, he tries to open it up, but the door is electronically locked, which {{MTR}} infers after seeing a card reader. He tries to pick at it with his claw but ends up breaking his claw and the reader. The door opens slowly. They walk in and explore, realizing that the building is abandoned... or is it? As soon as they go downstairs, guess who comes along? It's {{an|Jigglypuff}}.

Meanwhile, Ash and {{p|Chikorita}} are walking across the field when they find the building, the door still open. Ash looks inside the room and goes in along with Chikorita. All of a sudden, the door slams shut! Ash tries to get it open without any luck; however, Chikorita spots out a map of the complex and Ash looks at it. They go downstairs to check out the place. Upon looking through various empty halls, Ash finds that a {{p|Magnemite}} is following him. Ash tries to check it out but it ends up attacking him! He has Chikorita attack it, but soon more come after them. Ash runs for it but ends up in a dead end. Team Rocket heard this and found Ash... but Jigglypuff soon finds Team Rocket and attempts to {{m|sing}}, but James takes away her "microphone" but Jigglypuff {{m|DoubleSlap|slaps}} him, knocking it towards Jessie. Jessie then throws it towards the Magnemite to give them some time. Ash figures out that there is a shutter behind him, so he too tries to escape by breaking through it, making a successful move. Jigglypuff managed to get her "microphone" and sings, sending all the Magnemite right to sleep.

Brock and Misty look around for Ash, wondering where he might've disappeared to. When they came across the building, Brock notices that the lock has shorted. Maybe someone in a nearby village is an electronics expert?

On the next floor, Ash wanders around four large generators neatly in a 2×2 pattern. As soon as he gets into the middle, however, some {{p|Electrode}} surround him! They make their move, but Ash tells Chikorita to use {{m|Razor Leaf}}, making one {{m|Explosion|explode}}, creating a path for Ash to escape. However, the same thing happens as with the Magnemite, more of them come! The hall is soon blasted by explosion after explosion and yet again, Ash is caught in a stand still. Fortunately, Team Rocket is there again... as well as Jigglypuff. James again grabs the microphone and Jigglypuff slaps it out of him, ending up in Jessie's hands. She tosses it and Jigglypuff goes after it. This time, Jigglypuff coming in allows Ash some time to escape, as well as Team Rocket. Both escape and Jigglypuff is successful at singing to the Electrode.

Team Rocket starts running around in order to find a hiding spot to stay in and they find a room. As soon as they get inside, they get interrupted by an {{p|Electabuzz}}! Team Rocket soon gets frightened, but Meowth soon makes his mark. He tells the Electabuzz that Ash is really the one causing the trouble and their just workers. So, the Electabuzz marches off to find Ash.

Meanwhile, an electronics expert comes by to check out the situation. She sees the lock and soon starts to fix it, or just try to get the door open. Successful, they make their way in. Brock tries the elevator and it works, so they make their way into the third basement.

Soon Ash runs into the Electabuzz, and sure enough, the Electabuzz isn't too thrilled to see Ash. It seems Ash has no choice but fight. But before even both Pokémon can lay the first blow, a cage from Team Rocket slams on them, trapping them. Chikorita tries to break away with Razor Leaf, but the bars are way too strong. They soon run off with the captured Pokémon and Ash chases them. Brock, Misty, and the woman mechanic walk out and explore for a while, while Team Rocket, unnoticed, zooms into the elevator while it's still open. Ash sees that elevator now closed and has to run up the stairs. He does so but Misty notices him and tells the others.

Soon Ash catches up with Team Rocket on the first floor and Team Rocket makes their way down a hill. Ash soon jumps ahead from another location to cut them off. Seeing that Ash has no Pokémon on him, Team Rocket takes advantage of the predicament. Jessie and James combo it off with {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}} to attack... Ash! Ash is successful in dodging the first few attacks but soon gets hit and the Pokémon beat him up badly. Chikorita, sitting there helpless, just can't take Ash being beaten up and so it [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{AP|Bayleef}}! Bayleef uses Razor Leaf and this breaks the bars right off, allowing both Pokémon to escape. Brock and the others catch up but just insist on observing since it looks like the tides have turned. Bayleef soon bashes Arbok and Victreebel away and throws them towards Team Rocket with a {{m|Vine Whip}}. The woman, who happens to be Electabuzz's {{pkmn|Trainer}}, makes her call and tells it to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} and that takes care of them.

It seems now that things might be a little different with Bayleef around, but Ash is proud anyways. Bayleef jumps onto Ash, but instead {{m|tackle}}s him. Just when things seem happy, Jigglypuff comes out, finishing off by singing. Of course, it isn't all too happy when everyone goes to sleep. Jigglypuff draws on them and stomps away angrily.

* The symbol on Ash's hat disappears twice.
* When Ash thanks Brock for going to get him help, the door leading into the abandoned building is orange when it should be purple.
* When Ash finds Jigglypuff's marker, after Jessie throws it away, he incorrectly refers to it as a microphone.
* Right after Team Rocket discerns where Ash and Chikorita have gone, Wobbuffet pops out of his Pokeball. When shoving Wobbuffet back down, Jessie says "Meowth said down..." when it was James who had said it.

===Dub edits===
* During the part where Ash was being attacked by Victreebel and Arbok, some scenes depicting Victreebel using Vine Whip on Ash were cut.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

On their way to Olivine City, our heroes pass through a dangerous looking canyon full of unstable boulders. When the rocks begin to give way in an avalanche-like fury, a few fiery Pokémon rush to the rescue. Once out of harm's way, Ash, Misty and Brock find they've been rescued by Ramona, her brother Kegan and their three Arcanine. Ramona explains she and her brother were passing through the canyon on their way to deliver a bag of Fire Stones to a town holding a Fire-type Pokémon contest. Intrigued by the agile Pokémon, Ash is interested in learning how to ride the Arcanine. Before he gets far, Team Rocket shows up and steals the bag of Fire Stones. Ramona, Kegan and the gang must split up with the Arcanine to find Team Rocket and reclaim the rocks. Ash and Kegan team up, but after falling into one of the nasty trio's traps, Kegan is unable to guide Arcanine. Ash must rapidly learn how to ride if they are to recover the Fire Stones and save the Pokémon competition.

==Plot==
Continuing on their journey to [[Olivine City]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} find themselves walking along a canyon bottom with unstable boulders above them. Suddenly, a gust of wind knocks the boulders loose and they are trapped until a pack of {{p|Arcanine}} comes and rescues the gang.

They learn that the Arcanine pack belongs to two people named [[Ramona]] and [[Keegan]]. After some brief introductions, Ash is amazed because he has never seen an Arcanine close up before. He then uses his [[Pokédex]] to get more information on it. He finds out that a {{p|Growlithe}} can only evolve into Arcanine by use of a {{evostone|Fire Stone}}. Ash tells Keegan how he got ahold of a Fire Stone. Keegan tells Ash that he currently has a whole bunch of them and shows them to him. Ash is amazed by how many he has and Misty wonders how he got ahold of so many. Keegan tells her that the Fire Stones are not for him to keep, but that they are prizes to be given away at a competition for {{type|Fire}} Pokémon to be held later on.

Ramona tells the gang that they are a courier service that uses the Arcanine to travel from place to place delivering cargo. Ramona then graciously asks Ash and his friends if they want a ride on Arcanine. Ash and his friends are excited and immediately say "sure". After traveling for a while, Ramona, Keegan, Ash and his friends stop at a clearing in the forest to rest. Everybody enjoys some refreshments except Keegan and Ash, who are grooming the Arcanine. Ash tells Keegan that it is fun to ride Arcanine, but it is probably more fun when you are riding by yourself. Keegan then asks Ash if he would like to ride Arcanine by himself. Ash, eager as always, gives it a go. After a rocky start, Ash gets the hang of riding Arcanine, until he gets knocked off at the end of the lesson. The ever optimistic Ash announces to everybody that all he needs is practice and he will be as good as Keegan is.

There is a sudden noise in the sky. They look up and see a rocket heading straight for them. Everybody scatters and it lands right next to where they were standing. A rubber hand pops out of the rocket and grasps the Fire Stones. They all wonder who would try to steal the Fire Stones. {{TRT}} emerge and recite their {{motto}}. Ash commands {{AP|Pikachu}} to stop Team Rocket from stealing the Fire Stones with Thunderbolt, but {{MTR}} grabs Pikachu with the same rubber hand, preventing Pikachu from using his Electric-type attacks. Ramona then commands one of the Arcanine to free Pikachu, which it succeeds in doing. Ash catches Pikachu and Keegan then commands all of the Arcanine to attack Team Rocket. After missing them, Team Rocket gets away. Ramona asks Keegan if he is ready to follow Team Rocket to get back the stones, and he says he is. They catch up to Team Rocket very quickly. After a quick move by Jessie, Ramona and Keegan, who are riding on Arcanine, pass Team Rocket but fall into a hole dug earlier by Jessie and James. Ash and friends catch up to Ramona and Keegan to see if they are alright while Team Rocket slips away.

Brock uses {{TP|Brock|Golbat}} to see if he can find out where Team Rocket might have gone. Golbat leads them to a fork in the road, where Team Rocket has split up. Reluctantly, they split up as well to see if they can find which one of the three have the Fire Stones.

The first group, consisting of Brock, Misty, and Ramona, see a tree stump with a bag on it which looks like the bag of Fire Stones. They come closer and fall into a hole dug by James, who comes out and taunts them. The second group, consisting of Ash and Keegan, find Jessie escaping on a unicycle trying to outrun them. They follow her through some bushes and end up on a Pokémon battlefield. Jessie, on the other side of the field, tells Ash and Keegan that if they want the Fire Stones back (which she appears to be holding), they have to fight her in a [[Pokémon battle]].

Keegan tells her that the fighting for the stones is useless because he himself does not own the stones to begin with. Ash tells Keegan not to worry because he has fought her countless times before and she never wins, so he feels confident enough to beat her. Jessie uses {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and Ash uses Pikachu. After a short battle, Jessie acknowledges Ash's win and throws the bag in the middle of the battlefield. Ash, Keegan, and Arcanine run to the middle of the field and fall into a hole that Jessie dug in advance.

At the bottom of the hole, Keegan appears to have sustained a broken arm. While Ash is asking if Keegan is alright, Jessie grabs Pikachu with the same rubber hand as before and places Pikachu in a special cage. Meanwhile, Meowth (far away from the action) wonders why the real Fire Stones (which he had to begin with) are not hot. He also wonders what has happened to Jessie and James because they are taking a long time. All of a sudden, Jessie and James appears talking about their plan to split up Ash and the others work and that they got rid of them and got Pikachu. Impressed, Meowth tells Jessie and James that they better get their new-found prizes to [[Giovanni|the boss]] so they can get the recognition. They take off happy that one of their schemes actually worked.

As night approaches, Ash finally gets out of the hole that was dug and suggests to Keegan that they find Team Rocket immediately. Keegan tells Ash that they better find them in a hurry because the competition that will award the Fire Stones needs them by tomorrow.

They take off looking, but before they go, Keegan's arm starts acting up and gives him some pain. Ash suggests that he leads Arcanine by himself to look for Team Rocket. Keegan agrees and they take off. As they are riding, Ash is still trying to learn how to ride Arcanine, so he makes Arcanine ride straight through some trees, collapsing them. Keegan tells Ash that he needs to treat Arcanine like they are together as one. Ash recalls that this is how he and Pikachu are, so he concentrates trying to bond with Arcanine on an emotional level and succeeds. With his new-found feelings for Arcanine, Ash has the confidence to ride Arcanine to find the stones. Night falls, and they have stopped at a clearing on a foothill.

Arcanine sniffs around trying to find Pikachu's scent. Arcanine finds it and off they go to find Pikachu and Team Rocket. Meanwhile, in a clearing in the woods, Team Rocket is enjoying a victory meal (apparently a huge meal). James is worried about how much money they had to borrow to pay for the meal. But Jessie reassures him that they can sell the Fire Stones and make a fortune to repay all the money they borrowed. Meowth remarks that the boss will give them promotions because they finally captured Pikachu, so they dig right into their dinner.

About this time, Brock and his group make it out of his hole with the help of Onix. He hears an Arcanine in the background and has Onix follow the sound. Ash and Keegan finally find Team Rocket who is relaxing after chowing down their huge dinner. Ash and Keegan tell Team Rocket to surrender the stones, but they refuse, so Keegan tells Arcanine to attack. Jessie, pushing {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} in the way of the attacking Arcanine, hides behind some bushes. Wobbuffet uses {{m|Mirror Coat}} to counter the Arcanine's attack. While Wobbuffet is busy, Team Rocket uses this chance to escape in their hot air balloon with Pikachu and the Fire Stones.

Right about now, Brock and his group join Ash. Ramona tells her Arcanine to use their {{m|Fire Spin}} attacks to bring down Team Rocket. The Arcanine use Onix as a ramp to jump up to the balloon and set it on fire, forcing Team Rocket down to the ground. Ash catches Pikachu and Brock catches the Fire Stones while Team Rocket hits the ground hard. Jessie, still determined to be victorious, sends out Arbok to get even, but Keegan steps in and uses his Arcanine to take care of Arbok with {{m|Take Down}}. Arbok hits Team Rocket, causing frightened, tired, and defeated Team Rocket to run away. Keegan points out that Team Rocket are escaping.

Ash, determined to make an example out of Team Rocket, chases them down with the Arcanine he has bonded with. He carries Pikachu on his shoulder while riding Arcanine to catch Team Rocket. He passes Team Rocket but while he was passing them, Pikachu got off and was right in the path of Team Rocket. Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Team Rocket, after which the spot where they were standing exploded and Team Rocket "blasted off again..."

Brock was amazed how Ash could have trained Arcanine so well to follow his orders. Misty suggested it was beginners' luck. As day breaks, Ramona interrupts and mentions to Keegan that they better get the Fire Stones to the competition before it is too late. They make it to the competition grounds and hand the Fire Stones to the director. After telling them that he thought they were not going to make it in time, Keegan looks at Ash and friends and suggested that he wouldn't have made it without help from friends. As the midday approaches, Keegan and Ramona thank Ash and friends for all their help, and Ash bids farewell to his new friends to continue his journey to [[Olivine City]] and his next adventure.

'''Moving Pictures''' (Japanese: '''こおったヒマナッツのなぞ！！''' ''The Mystery of the Frozen {{tt|Himanuts|Sunkern}}!!'') is the 187th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on March 1, 2001 and in the United States on January 26, 2002.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

On their way to Olivine City, our heroes run into their old friend and shutterbug, Todd! As Todd and our friends catch up, a frozen Sunkern falls from the sky. The gang take it to a nearby lodge and, with the help of the old woman who runs it, thaw poor Sunkern out. The old woman explains she and her husband go to a valley with hundreds of Sunflora (the evolution of Sunkern) every year on their anniversary and have their picture taken. Tragically, this being their 50th wedding anniversary, they won't be able to continue the tradition because all of the Sunflora have disappeared. Where have all the Sunflora gone?

==Plot==
In their travels, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} chance upon their old shutterbug buddy {{Todd}}, who is now traveling far and wide in search of the dream photo opportunity - a close-up of the [[legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Articuno}}. Their reunion is cut short, however, when a chunk of solid ice comes tumbling out of the sky. The group examine the object and discover that a {{p|Sunkern}} is frozen inside. {{an|Brock}} snatches it up and the friends rush it off to be treated at the [[Pokémon Center]].

Todd relates that he saw a lodge earlier and they could they could take it there. At the lodge, they see an old lady named [[Sophia]], who suggests that Brock can put it into a basin of hot water to melt the ice. After a while the ice melts, and Sunkern comes back to life. She then mentions that the lodge is named the [[Sunflora Lodge]], and starts to explain the long, old story behind the naming of the lodge; insisting that the group listen, though they initially find it boring.

As she starts her story, the group realizes that it is actually a sweet but pitiful love story that takes place about 50 years ago between her and her lover, [[Marcello]]. Her lover, now her husband Marcello then appears and reveals that it was only some fictitious story that Sophia had cooked up that involved the both of them.

She then proceeds to show them her photo album that contains 49 pictures that they had taken with the hundreds of {{p|Sunflora}} that came to the slope every year on their anniversary. Brock claims that this year would then be their golden anniversary and that the 50th picture would make a special one. Marcello sighs and explains that there wouldn't be one as the weather is unusually cold this year and none of the {{p|Sunflora}} would appear.

But with the only Sunkern that they have, the couple decide that they should still take their 50th anniversary picture. When they reach the slope, the couple tries to come up with another fictional story when {{TRT}} decide to show up with their giant snow blower to create trouble. They are buried in snow with no means of defending themselves, as Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} are stuck under snow as well.

Sunkern then uses {{m|Sunny Day}} to melt the snow. Ash then commands Bulbasaur to use {{m|SolarBeam}} which destroys the snow blower, followed by Pikachu blasting them off with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}. After sending Team Rocket off, the couple proceeds to take their anniversary picture reluctantly with the only Sunkern they have. Brock then suggests to Ash that he should evolve the Sunkern to Sunflora with the Sun Stone [[EP161|he won]] as a prize in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] and Ash proclaims that was the only thing that they could do.

Upon evolving, miraculously, many Sunflora come along, and Todd happily takes the couple's 50th anniversary photo. Todd then exclaims that he saw Articuno flying across, and that it must have been Articuno causing the cold weather all along. With that, Ash, Misty, and Brock set off on their journey once again.

==Major events==
* {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} meet up with [[Todd Snap]], who is looking to get a photo of {{p|Articuno}}.
* Ash uses his {{evostone|Sun Stone}} to evolve a wild {{p|Sunkern}} into {{p|Sunflora}}.
* Todd joins the group again.

==Trivia==
* This is the last episode where a pan-out was displayed with the "To be Continued" graphic following it.
* This episode marks one of the few times that an [[item]] is described by the [[Pokédex]].
** Other items are the [[Poké Flute]] in ''[[EP041|Wake Up Snorlax!]]'' and the [[Salveyo weed]] in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]''.
* This episode marks the first and currently only time that Ash uses an evolutionary stone to make a Pokémon evolve.
** It also marks the first time that an item belonging to Ash is used to induce a Pokémon's evolution.
* Both this episode and ''[[EP185|The Light Fantastic]]'' share their names with {{wp|Discworld}} books. Interestingly, they are only two episodes apart from each other.
* This episode references music in the real-world:
** The episode's English title is also the name of an {{wp|Moving Pictures (album)|album}} by the band {{wp|Rush (band)|Rush}}.
** The story of the Sunflora Lodge is based on a {{wp|Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree|song}} by {{wp|Tony Orlando and Dawn}}.

===Errors===
* In the dub, the Pokédex says that the Sun Stone is used to evolve {{p|Gloom}} into {{p|Vileplume}}. While the Sun Stone will induce evolution in a Gloom, it will become a {{p|Bellossom}}, rather than a Vileplume. The {{evostone|Leaf Stone}} is the item used to make a Gloom a Vileplume.
* After viewing Articuno's Pokédex entry, Ash says "''Wow, imagine if it was really real.''" despite the fact he had previously encountered an Articuno in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and should therefore know that it is real.
* After they leave the house, [[Marcello]]'s hair and facial hair turn a shade brighter.
** This changes later on.
* When todd is taking pictures of [[wobbuffet]], it's holding up it's right arm. But after he zooms out of his camera. wobbuffet is holding up his left arm.

===Dub edits===
* [[Todd Snap]] was named as Todd again due to legal issues involving {{wp|Kellogg Company|Kellogg's}}.
* While Ash, Misty and Todd think about how long [[Sophia]]'s story will be, Brock wonders about if she has any {{wp|string cheese}}. The reason for this is probably for comic effect.

==Blurb==

On their way to Olivine City, our heroes run into their old friend and shutterbug, Todd! As Todd and our friends catch up, a frozen Sunkern falls from the sky. The gang take it to a nearby lodge and, with the help of the old woman who runs it, thaw poor Sunkern out. The old woman explains she and her husband go to a valley with hundreds of Sunflora (the evolution of Sunkern) every year on their anniversary and have their picture taken. Tragically, this being their 50th wedding anniversary, they won't be able to continue the tradition because all of the Sunflora have disappeared. Where have all the Sunflora gone?

==Plot==
In their travels, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} chance upon their old shutterbug buddy {{Todd}}, who is now traveling far and wide in search of the dream photo opportunity - a close-up of the [[legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Articuno}}. Their reunion is cut short, however, when a chunk of solid ice comes tumbling out of the sky. The group examine the object and discover that a {{p|Sunkern}} is frozen inside. {{an|Brock}} snatches it up and the friends rush it off to be treated at the [[Pokémon Center]].

Todd relates that he saw a lodge earlier and they could they could take it there. At the lodge, they see an old lady named [[Sophia]], who suggests that Brock can put it into a basin of hot water to melt the ice. After a while the ice melts, and Sunkern comes back to life. She then mentions that the lodge is named the [[Sunflora Lodge]], and starts to explain the long, old story behind the naming of the lodge; insisting that the group listen, though they initially find it boring.

As she starts her story, the group realizes that it is actually a sweet but pitiful love story that takes place about 50 years ago between her and her lover, [[Marcello]]. Her lover, now her husband Marcello then appears and reveals that it was only some fictitious story that Sophia had cooked up that involved the both of them.

She then proceeds to show them her photo album that contains 49 pictures that they had taken with the hundreds of {{p|Sunflora}} that came to the slope every year on their anniversary. Brock claims that this year would then be their golden anniversary and that the 50th picture would make a special one. Marcello sighs and explains that there wouldn't be one as the weather is unusually cold this year and none of the {{p|Sunflora}} would appear.

But with the only Sunkern that they have, the couple decide that they should still take their 50th anniversary picture. When they reach the slope, the couple tries to come up with another fictional story when {{TRT}} decide to show up with their giant snow blower to create trouble. They are buried in snow with no means of defending themselves, as Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} are stuck under snow as well.

Sunkern then uses {{m|Sunny Day}} to melt the snow. Ash then commands Bulbasaur to use {{m|SolarBeam}} which destroys the snow blower, followed by Pikachu blasting them off with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}. After sending Team Rocket off, the couple proceeds to take their anniversary picture reluctantly with the only Sunkern they have. Brock then suggests to Ash that he should evolve the Sunkern to Sunflora with the Sun Stone [[EP161|he won]] as a prize in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] and Ash proclaims that was the only thing that they could do.

Upon evolving, miraculously, many Sunflora come along, and Todd happily takes the couple's 50th anniversary photo. Todd then exclaims that he saw Articuno flying across, and that it must have been Articuno causing the cold weather all along. With that, Ash, Misty, and Brock set off on their journey once again.

==Major events==

==Trivia==
* This is the last episode where a pan-out was displayed with the "To be Continued" graphic following it.
* This episode marks one of the few times that an [[item]] is described by the [[Pokédex]].
** Other items are the [[Poké Flute]] in ''[[EP041|Wake Up Snorlax!]]'' and the [[Salveyo weed]] in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]''.
* This episode marks the first and currently only time that Ash uses an evolutionary stone to make a Pokémon evolve.
** It also marks the first time that an item belonging to Ash is used to induce a Pokémon's evolution.
* Both this episode and ''[[EP185|The Light Fantastic]]'' share their names with {{wp|Discworld}} books. Interestingly, they are only two episodes apart from each other.
* This episode references music in the real-world:
** The episode's English title is also the name of an {{wp|Moving Pictures (album)|album}} by the band {{wp|Rush (band)|Rush}}.
** The story of the Sunflora Lodge is based on a {{wp|Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree|song}} by {{wp|Tony Orlando and Dawn}}.

===Errors===
* In the dub, the Pokédex says that the Sun Stone is used to evolve {{p|Gloom}} into {{p|Vileplume}}. While the Sun Stone will induce evolution in a Gloom, it will become a {{p|Bellossom}}, rather than a Vileplume. The {{evostone|Leaf Stone}} is the item used to make a Gloom a Vileplume.
* After viewing Articuno's Pokédex entry, Ash says "''Wow, imagine if it was really real.''" despite the fact he had previously encountered an Articuno in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and should therefore know that it is real.
* After they leave the house, [[Marcello]]'s hair and facial hair turn a shade brighter.

===Dub edits===
* [[Todd Snap]] was named as Todd again due to legal issues involving {{wp|Kellogg Company|Kellogg's}}.
* While Ash, Misty and Todd think about how long [[Sophia]]'s story will be, Brock wonders about if she has any {{wp|string cheese}}. The reason for this is probably for comic effect.
