==Blurb==

Professor Kukui has a gift to help Ash get started in the Alola region. It’s an unusual Pokédex that’s inhabited by the Pokémon Rotom—a Rotom Dex!

Team Rocket is just getting started in Alola, too, and their first meeting with a new Pokémon turns frightening when a mysterious Mimikyu draws Meowth into a nightmare. But when they encounter Ash and his classmates, Mimikyu decides to battle on Team Rocket’s side—until an enormous Bewear grabs Jessie and James and carries them off.

Ash is a little disappointed that he couldn’t catch Mimikyu, but he soon sets off in search of more new Pokémon!

==Plot==
{{TRT}} lands at an airport in the [[Alola]] region. They recall when {{an|Giovanni}} showed them several images of Pokémon exclusive to the region, back at the {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}. As Giovanni spoke, {{MTR}} vows to replace {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} as the boss' favorite Pokémon. Giovanni instructs the trio to go to Alola and capture Pokémon he has not seen before. At [[Professor Kukui]]'s house, he hands the [[Pokédex]] to Ash. They head into Kukui's laboratory. After pressing some buttons on his computer, the lights in the lab start to flicker. Ash wonders what is going on as Professor Kukui tells him to wait and see. A {{p|Rotom}} comes out of a wall socket and starts to venture around the lab. After a while, Rotom charges into the Pokédex, activating it. Rotom scans the area and detects Ash. After greeting the Rotom, Ash becomes surprised that it replied. Professor Kukui requests Rotom to help Ash on his journey. Rotom Pokédex understands and begins to boot up, telling Ash that it is equipped with an assortment of languages to communicate with people. Despite this, it doesn't understand Ash's use of the word "awesome", but Professor Kukui soon explains what it means. Professor Kukui introduces himself and explains that Ash and Pikachu are staying at his place. Ash also introduces his Pikachu to Rotom. Rotom takes pictures of Pikachu and {{AP|Rockruff}} and explains that it has a self-learning capability, which Ash does not fully understand. The Pokédex introduces its full name to Ash, which Ash becomes confused with the name. Rotom asks Ash to simply called it Rotom, and Ash tells it to call him by "Ash". Ash asks Rotom Pokédex to provide information on Pikachu, which it does, and pulls on Pikachu's tail to test it. This results in Pikachu using {{m|Thunderbolt}} to shock everyone. In a forest, {{an|Bewear}} is walking about and hears the bushes rustle as a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} emerges. Bewear looks at Mimikyu before moving on.

{{AP|Litten}} passes by the [[Pokémon School]] and watches {{DL|Samson Oak|Komala}} sleeping on a tree before moving on. In the classroom, Ash introduces Rotom Pokédex to {{ashcl}} and they introduce themselves. {{an|Lillie}} is amazed to see a Pokédex with a Rotom inside, whilst {{an|Sophocles}} wants to dismantle Rotom to examine its programming, which Rotom quickly refuses. When [[Samson Oak]] arrives with Professor Kukui, Ash introduces Rotom to the principal of the school. Rotom becomes confused by Samson's greetings. {{an|Mallow}} explains that he is saying hello, and that he likes to use Pokémon puns when talking. Rotom Pokédex soon understands and begins making a few puns of its own. Professor Kukui starts the lesson by saying that it will be about field work, and suggests to Ash that now that he has his Pokédex, he should catch a [[wild Pokémon]], which leaves everyone excited. Professor Kukui says it should be a new challenge for Ash and he will {{m|Destiny Bond}} them to help him out. Rotom starts to describe Destiny Bond's effect, and reassures that they could count on it for information on Pokémon. The group heads out into the forest.

In the forest, Team Rocket are exploring and plan to catch the first Pokémon they see, but as they left {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}} and {{TP|James|Inkay}} back at the headquarts, it will be up to Meowth and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} to battle Pokémon. Looking around the forest, [[Jessie]] finds it creepy and that a ghost may appear out of nowhere. Upon finishing her sentence, the grass starts to rustle and a Pokémon jumps out of it. Team Rocket starts to scream until a Mimikyu lands on the ground. They mistake it for Pikachu and becomes scared when its costume falls down slightly, but Meowth spots that it isn't actually a Pikachu. Hearing Mimikyu's laughter, it creeps Meowth and Wobbuffet out. [[James]] asks what Mimikyu is saying, but he refuses to translate it as he thinks it is too scary. Jessie says it actually looks kind of cute and decides to catch it, throwing Meowth at it. As Meowth gets closer, he uses {{m|Fury Swipes}} but it has no effect on the Mimikyu. Meowth becomes afraid of what Mimikyu is saying and orders it to take off its Pikachu get-up. Meowth looks under its rag and promptly faints. Meowth finds himself walking in a long tunnel and wonders where he is before spotting a light in the distance. He runs towards it and sees a {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Lopunny}}, and {{p|Glaceon}} which he begins to chase after them, having fallen in love with them, unaware that they are illusions caused by a {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}}. Meanwhile, Jessie and James are trying to wake Meowth up. In Meowth's trance, the Pokémon all disappear and he starts to fall below. Jessie and James throw buckets of water on Meowth, waking him up. He thanks them for bringing him back and explains what happened. They all look at Mimikyu in anxiety and run away when a nearby bush rustle. Ash and his classmates are walking into the forest, becoming increasingly excited on encountering a Pokémon in the forest.

Team Rocket notices them and their Pokémon and decides to use the opportunity to capture all their Pokémon, along with the Pokémon they will be capturing in the region. The group of students spot Mimikyu, but when Mimikyu sees Pikachu, it makes it unhappy. Lillie recognizes it as being a Mimikyu from a book that she read, but Rotom interrupts her to provide information. Meowth overhears the information about a scholar who looked under a Mimikyu's rag passing away and realizes how lucky he was, as James notices the Pokédex moving by itself. Ash decides to try and catch Mimikyu and has Pikachu use {{m|Iron Tail}} which hits, but {{an|Kiawe}} is surprised that it does no damage. Mimikyu strikes back with {{m|Play Rough}} before attacking with {{m|Shadow Claw}}. Seeing how strong Mimikyu is, Ash orders an {{m|Electro Ball}}. Mimikyu reflects the attack back to Pikachu with its tail, although Pikachu manages to dodge it. Jessie is impressed by Mimikyu's strength and decides to catch it, much to Meowth's horror. As Ash prepares to order Pikachu to attack, Team Rocket reveals themselves and recite their {{motto}}, which Rotom Pokédex takes their organization's name literally. Rotom becomes surprised to see a talking Meowth and starts taking pictures of him. None of Ash's classmates have heard of Team Rocket, but Ash explains that they are bad guys who steal Pokémon. Team Rocket exclaims that they did not know why Ash is in Alola, but they intend to take all of their Pokémon along with Mimikyu. With few Pokémon to use, Meowth goes to battle Pikachu with Fury Swipes as Pikachu attacks with Electro Ball. As the Electro Ball is about to hit, it is deflected by Mimikyu's {{m|Shadow Ball}}, saving Meowth from being hit. Jessie realizes that Mimikyu is helping them out, but this isn't the case as Meowth explains that Mimikyu has a deep hatred towards Pikachu. Jessie allows Mimikyu to attack and it begins to launch another Shadow Ball. Jessie and James are ecstatic about what is going on, however, the Bewear appears behind Jessie and James and carries them away. Rotom Pokédex informs Ash of what Bewear is, and Ash remembers encountering it [[SM001|before]]. Meowth tells Mimikyu to stop Bewear and help save Jessie and James, which Mimikyu reluctantly does, and they chase after them. Ash is disappointed at not catching Mimikyu, but Lillie says there are lots of Pokémon around. Ash and his classmates set off to find more Pokémon in the forest.

* [[Poké Problem]]: ''Which appliance will {{p|Rotom}} enter in this episode?''
** Host: [[Samson Oak]]
** Choices: A {{wp|washing machine}}, a [[Pokédex]], a {{wp|Mechanical fan|fan}}, a {{wp|refrigerator}}
** Answer: A Pokédex
* Viewers could answer the Poké Problem [[Data broadcasting#Poké Problem|with their remotes]] during the first airing of SM003 and SM004 on [[TV Tokyo]] to take part in a lottery of five {{DL|Pokémon Z-Ring|Z-Ring and Z-Crystal Special Set}}s.
* During the first airing on TV Tokyo as one-hour special, the Japanese comedian Abareru-kun appeared in typical Hawaiian clothes, announcing the {{DL|Data broadcasting|Poké Problem|Poké Problem data broadcast}}, {{DL|Data broadcasting|QR Code|a data broadcast that works with Pokémon Sun and Moon}}, the keyboard quiz, and information about Ash getting his first Alola Pokémon and Mimikyu's appearance.
* During the first airing on TV Tokyo as one-hour special viewers could take part in a [[Media:Keyword quiz SM003 SM004.png|four-characters keyword quiz]], in which ten viewers could win a New Nintendo 3DS XL Pikachu Edition and copies of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. The first character was も.
* {{TRT}}'s new {{motto}}, which makes its debut in this episode, uses a remixed instrumental of ''[[Team Rocket's Team Song]]'' as its background music.
* {{an|Sophocles}}, {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Lana}}, and {{an|Kiawe}} narrate the preview for the [[SM004|next episode]].
* For the first time in the dub, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} read the segment for [[Who's That Pokémon?]].

* As of this episode, [[Erica Schroeder]] takes over the role of {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} from [[Kayzie Rogers]].

===Errors===
* When [[Sophocles]] runs out the door of the school with the gang, his Togedemaru goes through the wall.

===Dub edits===
* The Japanese text used in {{TRT}}'s {{motto}} is edited out in the US and International dub. The Korean and Thai dubs use their own text.
* In the Brazilian dub, when [[Professor Kukui]] talks about field work, {{an|Mallow}}'s line is mistranslated as, "{{tt|Eu amo fogos de artifício|I love fireworks}}", making the line unrelated to the context.
* In the Swedish dub, when Meowth is asked to translate what Mimikyu is saying, he says he does not dare to say it out load. In the English dub, Meowth [[breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] by stating that it's a family show.

==Trivia==
* ไปไหนไปกัน (Following) was used as ending for [[PK27]].
* สุดฟ้า (Horizon) was used as ending for [[M18]].
* นาน นาน (Long Long Time) was used as ending for [[M19]].
* In some episodes, ไปไหนไปกัน (Following) and แบมือ (Open your Hand) are used interchangeably as endings.
* In some episodes in {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} สุดฟ้า (Horizon) was used replacing Around the World, due to them being broadcast later than {{series|XY}} the music is the same as the present series.

== Question ==

Hey Kogoro, sorry if this the wrong area but I see that this talk is more active than the one on Bulbagarden Archives. When I try to upload new scans for new TCG cards, it will not allow me to do so stating that I must be an autoconfirmed user or a confirmed user. Please help! Thanks, [[User:SirFinkleBottom|Sir]][[Special:Contributions/SirFinkleBottom|Finkle]][[User talk:SirFinkleBottom|Bottom]] 16:15, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
:Confirmed is an Archives-exclusive usergroup that executive staff can apply to uploaders who have been approved to upload Generation VI game images, but don't meet the requirements for Autoconfirmed. Autoconfirmed, on the other hand, is applied automatically when an account has reached a specific number of edits & has existed for a specific number of days. If you want a file uploaded to the Archives and do not have the permissions to do so, you can make an upload request on an active [[a:Archives:Staff|Archives staff]] member's talk page. Keep in mind, that we will require access to the image(s) (and approval from the person who originally digitized the image(s)) to upload them for you. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

== 500 edits/day milestone! :D ==

Hey! I'm currently writing my 501th edit on the wiki today.

I've earned the [[Template:User_500_Day|template]], right? :3

My first edit was made on February 14 2016 17:58.

My last edit was made on February 15 2016 06:43.

Between these two edits, there was an elapsed time of 12:45.

<nowiki>:</nowiki>) [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 06:49, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
:Unfortunately, no, you have not earned it. The edits must take place between 00:00 and 23:59 (UTC) in the same calendar day, which is noted right on the template page. As your edits take place between two calendar days, they are not eligible for the user tag. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

::Are you serious? What's the difference? It was under 24 hours, which is a day. I don't understand why such detail should be important. I'll let you know that not everyone has the same time, my day is alway split in half with the wiki's time because of the timezone, having a full day on the wiki would mean to do all my edits starting at 2am, which, not everyone can. With all due respect, this is plainly injust. We shouldn't be judged on our timezone, that's close to discrimination. [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 07:31, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
:::UTC is our server time, and all of our time-based institutions are measured on server time. Allowing users to base time-based institutions on their own time zones has caused far too many problems and arguments in the past, so we simply do not allow such anymore. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:48, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

::::I understand that, but tell me, what would have been different if I started editing 2 hours later? The outcome would have been the same, I would have contributed and been rewarded, so it would have been a win-win for everyone, but for now, I feel robbed of harsh hours of work throughout a whole day... You don't need the website to see wheter I did enough edits or not, do you? Just go on my contributions page, click show 500 and you'll see that it has been done in less than 24hours, it's not like it was a tight 23h and some minutes, I did it in under 13hours, that's worth being noticed, nah? Devoted contributors are rare, so you shouldn't be too picky if you want to keep them... :/ [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 08:01, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
:::::There'd have been no difference, cause you still wouldn't have made it to 500 within a single calendar day if you had started editing two hours earlier. If your most important reason for editing this wiki is to get a fancy user tag, you may need to reconsider your reasons for being here. I'm going to quote something from a former staff member that really rings true:
::::::''"This is not a race or a competition, if you reach 500 edits a day that's good for you but it doesn't really mean anything, as quality is what's really needed here rather than some mere numbers. Editing a wiki is a thankless job, but we do it for the good of the community."''
:::::Please try to keep that in mind. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 08:13, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

::::::I said later... Anyway, you are right, I never intended to do it for the achievement, I just happened to edit and realized I was at 350 ao I figured I would finish the job I was doing and get it at the same time, anyway... I'm just really dissapointed, that's all... [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 08:26, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

:::::::Here, I achieved to take what I've done starting from 0:00 and edit until I've reached about 530 edits today. [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 21:11, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
::::::::I apologize, the use of "earlier" was a typo from being distracted. Anyway, I can confirm that you have qualified to use the user tag. Congrats. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 02:07, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
== Help me identify these ==

Can you ?

[http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/attachments/img_2887-jpg.7215/]

I think the Pikachu comes from [[XY-P_Black_Star_Promos_(KTCG)]], but I am uncertain.

Is the mewtwo exclusive to the Korean sets? Thanks ! [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 01:03, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

== Great headline and images ==

First of all, your message on the main page is so powerful, you really achieve to awaken the team spirit in me! :P

Second, can I take the pictures on here [http://toys.qee.jp/menu.htm] and upload them on [[Pokémon Kids|here]]? Knowing that the images already there come from there as well, I'm not too familiar with the copyrights and such, so I preferred asking first! :P [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 06:32, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
:Glad you enjoyed it. I hope it inspires others as well.
:As for the site you've liked to, it appears to be a collector's personal page. In order to use the images from their website, you would need to obtain permission from the website owner to use their images on Bulbapedia and provide the permission to me to confirm its authenticity. Without the site owner's permission, they may not be used. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 06:11, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
::The problem is that, it's in japanese, and all I can really do is use google translate so.. But for the other pictures already used? They come from the same source. [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 06:31, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
:::You can always ask the individual who added those images as to whether they are the original owner of the images, or if they got permission from the original owner. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 06:39, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

== Your Template (2) ==

My apologies for the late reply- [http://i.imgur.com/1VuTPRk.png |I mean these]. It won't be the same gif of course, I'd like to get or make a Pokemon gif for that.

Also about the pink boarder around, is it possible to make one with an image (e.g. --> [[File:Trainer Customization artwork.png|thumb|250px|this one]])? Just a question.-- --[[User:Handmaiden 101|Handmaiden 101]] ''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|tAlk]])'' 23:38, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
:Sure, you're more than welcome to use the templates. I'll give you a list of the templates for easy use:
:#[[User:Kogoro/Template/TOC]] - The box that contains the Espeon gif and table of contents on this talk page. Yes, other images can be used in it. (You can see how it's used by viewing the source code of this talk page.)
:#[[User:Kogoro/Template/TrainerCard]] - As the name suggests, is the Trainer Card. It will work for Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova titles. It has not been updated for Kalos yet. (You can see how to use it by checking the source code of my {{u|Kogoro/Party|parties page}}.)
:#[[User:Kogoro/Template/Partybox]] - The box that surrounds the parties. Instructions are on the template itself.
:#[[User:Kogoro/Template/Pokébox2]] - The individual small Pokémon boxes. Instructions are linked to on the template itself.
:The infobox that is present on my user page isn't a template, but you're welcome to use the code by copying it off the source code of my user page. Please be sure to credit back to me, with a link to my user page, either in the edit summary or on your user page, and follow the {{bp|userspace policy}}. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 06:11, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

== 3 questions ==

Hello I have gathered three questions which I would be most thankfull if you could answer.

#Would it be possible to make it so that when editing and pressing 'Show preview' the Interwiki-links present can be displayed in the preview? Because this has annoyed me some times when edit a page and want to check if it links correcly before pressing save. And i know this can be done because that feature is present at Super Mario Wiki and Poképédia to name two.
#Is this [[User:Raltseye/List of Russian Pokémon names|list]] done or does it need all the names because all Pokémon have not been released as TCG cards? I only listed names from the official TCG.
#Since Pokéteca has more or less been removed from the Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis partnership should they not be removed from the main page? Also should we not mention something about it on the [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]] page and delete [[Template:Pt|these]] [[Template:Es|two]] templates?
--[[User:Raltseye|Ralts]][[User talk:Raltseye|eye]] 17:39, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
:#Depending on how they do it, it may be possible for us to do so as well. I'll have to look into it before giving a definitive answer as to whether we can or feel it's necessary, however.
:#It seems alright to me. However, since it is a TCG-based listing, I'll have a chat with Maverick Nate about it before we opt to mainspace it.
:#We'll try to handle the Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis in the next few days, since developments like these are best handled by staff. I'll update the main page shortly, and deal with the templates later.
:I hope that covers everything. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:59, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

== Monthly edit ==

i have a little question, why do I only have ~600 edits on the leaderboards? If you take only my main edits, I have more than 1000 here : [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?limit=1000&tagfilter=&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=MannedTooth&namespace=0&tagfilter=&year=2016&month=-1]

[[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 15:14, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
:Creating redirects, minor edits, and reverted edits aren't counted (along with edits already mentioned in the TCM page). And honestly, who cares? You've made over 600 edits and got top spot in the TCM ladder, good for you? The number of edits you make don't, and never will, matter. It's the quality of those edits. So if your only concern is to make as many edits as you can to get top spot on a monthly ladder, then you need to look at your priorities.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:46, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

== Idea about fandom ==

Hi, my name is Danny Williams, shortly Danny199, and I got up with an idea, and wanted to ask if it has a possibility of working. Also, I don't know if I contacted the right person, so forgive me if I misplace this.

I recently became more active on the fandom front, mostly fanfiction and nuzlockes, and what catched my eye is how less atention some of these get, while they are pretty good. Even the wikia's made for Nuzlocke's and Fanfiction writing, aren't that populair, people come there to advertise, but no-one comes there to look for a story, mainly because it isn't known. Now here comes the thing: Bulbagarden, or Bulbapedia, is extremely well-known, every Pokémon fan has at least once checked this site. The thing I thought of is: Isn't it an idea to make a variant on Bulbapedia on the Bulbagarden network, and this one specificant for all fandom things, including nuzlockes, fanfictions, Pokémon Youtube channels, cause there are a lot unknown, everything. Bring it all together in one big site for all fans to find something. You could even go as far as putting links in Bulbapedia, like: Putting on, for example, Charormander's page a link with 'Charmander's appearences in Fanfictions' or, to be more general, 'Charmander's appearences in the Fandom'. It seemed to be like a real good idea, I hope it can work out. I would love to put some work in it, and make it active as fast as possible, but I can't start without permission from the founder.

As I said in the beginning, I don't know if I put this request in the right place, but again, you'll need to forgive me for it.

Greetings, Danny199 {{Unsigned|Danny199}}

:Bulbagarden already has a place where fan-created content can be posted, it's called [http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php the Bulbagarden Forums]. As for your idea of putting links such as "_____'s appearances in fan fiction" or "_____'s appearances in the fandom", it's not going to happen. It's been suggested several times in the past, and there's simply not enough notable cases of such to be something that's reasonable. Keep in mind that the ''vast majority'' of fandom-created content just doesn't meet our notability guidelines, and we note the very few notable cases where it's appropriate to do so.

:Additionally, please understand that Bulbapedia ''isn't'' an advertisement source, nor should it be. We're not here to advertise people's self-created Pokémon stories, Nuzlocke runs, or anything like that. We're here to be a resource for significant Pokémon information. If people want their fan-creations to get noticed, it's up to them to figure out how to promote their stuff appropriately. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 04:50, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
::Then why is shipping allowed on this site with impunity if it is just a fan concept like fanfictions and Lockes? If that is the case, shouldn't shipping be relegated to the forums? And marriage/crushes don't make it anymore than a form of fan fiction. One is a legal, social and/or religious commitment, while the other is not canon until it is announced by both parties and a commitment to adhere to such is made by the characters and the writers. Also, people see too many little insignificant things as signs that people are attracted to each other. I think it is both pedantic and hypocritical for a fact-based, anti-fanproject wiki to tolerate, since most shipping pages are filled with rampant and gross un-Bulbapedia-like speculation, questionable implications, and are poorly policed and maintained by reputable users. I personally believe Shipping deserves 1 page covering what shipping is in a neutral tone with no speech for or against the subject matter in question and no quantitative or qualitative lists of "common/notable" ships, if any, and a subsequent ban on speculation about shipping of any sort, no matter how "canon" it may be reasoned to be(because they are relative to the eye of the observer, because shipping is a matter best left to fanforums and lesser sites. And no, I am not "offended" by shipping, I just don't find it appropriate for Bulbapedia. I strongly recommend a takedown of all things shipping, and a ban on references and coverage of such except on the Shipping page, as to make a statement about speculation. Or allowing all fandom things to be accounted for, to show acceptance of the fandom and its ways. Which stance you want to take is up to you, but I think it is a win-win. --[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 05:46, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
:::Than what are the guidelines for fandom? There is alot of fanfiction, nuzlocke and fandom creations like that, if someone takes some time and looks through them all, I think you'll find enough that follow the guidlines. Also, it isn't really advertising, it is informing the visitor about the best fanfiction and the best nuzlocke runs, both for example, on the internet, so they can have a look themselves. It isn't ment to advertise, although it might have been a major point in the text I wrote earlier but that was a small mis-writing, but to have the visitors being informed, the same as Bulbapedia does with all the official information, can this wikia do with all the fandom information [[User:Danny199|Danny199]] ([[User talk:Danny199|talk]]) 08:44, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

::::@Danny199: First off, "best" is ''always'' subjective when it comes to things like fan fiction, and subjective content like that does not belong on Bulbapedia. Secondly, the ''concept'' of the [[Nuzlocke Challenge]] is notable due to its major presence within the fandom, and that's why we already have an article about what Nuzlocke Challenges are. Individual people's challenges, however, are not notable and should not be listed. While it ''may'' be acceptable to have an article on the ''concept'' of fan fiction within the Pokémon fandom, we're not going to have articles or listings of individual fics. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 03:55, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

== Pokémon World in relation to the real world ==

== About the Template:DungeonPrevNext template ==

Hi, I was kinda wondering if you could make some adjustments to the [[Template:DungeonPrevNext|DungeonPrevNext]] template? You know how there is "DungeonPrevNext|Dungeon Name|Dungeon Name|1|Dungeon Name" made so that the colours from Explorers of Sky dungeons could mix in with the older dungeons from Explorers of Time/Darkness, right? I'd like to see the ability to do something like "DungeonPrevNext|Dungeon Name|Dungeon Name|1|Dungeon Name|1" so that it can be coloured in completely, say for instance if anyone wanted to navigate to Rock Path from Lapis Cave page. Whenever I try to use the template like this:

"DungeonPrevNext|Great Canyon|Mt. Blaze|Rock Path|Rock Path|1dab=(Red and Blue Rescue Team)|2dab=(Red and Blue Rescue Team)|1"

It just simply appears completely broken, and when I try it as this:

"DungeonPrevNext|Great Canyon|Mt. Blaze|1|Rock Path|Rock Path|3dab=(Red and Blue Rescue Team)|4dab=(Red and Blue Rescue Team)"

It shows up as everything red, except for "Rock Path" sections, which are coloured as green (Explorers of Sky colour).

Can you please fix this issue? I can't make any changes to it's code, since [[Template:DungeonPrevNext]] is protected indefinitely for unknown reasons.

Thanks!—[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 14:47, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
:First of all, {{template|DungeonPrevNext}} is protected because it's a high-use template that the general public shouldn't be making modifications to. Secondly, I really can't see any reason to modify the template to work in the way you seem to want it to.

== [[Special:AbuseFilter/3]] ==

Hello Kogoro, I don't know if you know about abuse filters, but can you explain to me why <nowiki> </nowiki> is considered as bad formatting, and why we have an abuse filter of it (I see that other wikis don't have this kind of abuse filter, only Bulbawikis)? Also, I think <nowiki> </nowiki> is not the only one that is non-wikitext formatting, there are others too (like <a>).

:Multi-use of <code><nowiki> </nowiki></code> tags is the most common non-wikitext formatting used on Bulbapedia, and is something we want to get away from doing. That is why there's an abuse filter for them, to note that such formatting happens to exist within the material being modified in any given edit. <code><nowiki> </nowiki></code> tags, in general, should only be used when used in the clearing style on templates, as we have templates for mainspace use: {{template|-}}, {{template|clear-left}}, and {{template|clear-right}}. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:07, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

I saw that you were testing new templates for moves. I had this idea a while ago, but I thought I'd tell you about it. So, admitting that a move will always have the same effect/heart/type etc no matter the Pokemon who uses it, I thought we could make it so that in the template entry you only add the move name and that on the template side there would be this well-made conditionning system with pre-assigned variables.

I've read one of the posts where it was said that dividing the Gen 6 column was not possible with the current template. I want to ask why is that? I looked up the source and while I don't fully understand it, it doesn't seem impossible to replicate the subcolumn feature. I understand that the problem here is not with laziness but I'm really curious why this hasn't been done yet.

:It's not that it's impossible to do, it's that it's not reasonable to do.

::[[User:Oneofthosedf|Oneofthosedf]] ([[User talk:Oneofthosedf|talk]]) 16:11, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
:::Depending on the resolution of your display, the existing template is starting to get dangerously close to overlapping the infobox on some articles, and it isn't exactly mobile friendly (and will only get worse with Sun and Moon). This means we need to rework the template to work effectively for varying display resolutions, including mobile resolutions.

:::As for conditional statements, every row is set up with code that makes the template behave differently if a move is learned at Lv 15 in one game of a generation and Lv 17 in another. Unfortunately, the abundance of this code on move articles has resulted in some moves with very large numbers of available Pokémon to load slowly, and others to simply not load at all without splitting content to a sub-article.

== Request for the Editorial Board to consider ==

Hi. If you could share this request with the rest of the Editorial Board for consideration, I would much appreciate it.

I was recently alarmed to notice that we still have a great deal of antiquated switches on species pages for Pokémon that change types upon form-changing. To my knowledge, one of the major reasons Bulbapedia implemented the new infoboxes almost three years ago was to avoid the need for switches by making all form information visible at all times, so these remaining switches were highly surprising to me. To my awareness, at this point they only change colors and toggle the visibility of type effectiveness tables, so I don't believe they're necessary.

At first I noticed them only on {{p|Castform}}, so I removed them, thinking they had simply been forgotten on that page when the infoboxes were implemented three years ago. {{u|Force Fire}} reverted it (without explaining that these switches are still in use for all Pokémon with form changes, I might add — I had to find this out myself by investigating). So since this is a change that concerns several pages, I'm coming to you and the rest of the Editorial Board to ask for an opinion.

I believe these forms should be treated in the same way we treat Mega Evolutions that change type, such as {{p|Charizard}}: with no switches, nothing hidden, and changed type colors only on material that pertains specifically to the changed form and not the standard/base form. This method is the most clear and consistent for the readers who don't look at the source code. Additionally, the type-color switches use a large amount of bytes to accomplish very little, if anything, to functionally enhance our articles.

As far as I can tell, their only remaining value is aesthetic, and this aesthetic value comes at the sacrifice of clearly and consistently conveying a Pokémon's type in the way we do for all other species articles.

I think the switches should have been removed three years ago when we did away with switches on the main infobox artwork, and I think they certainly should be removed now.

Thank you for your consideration. I cordially await your response. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:03, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

== Pokemon Go Page - Question! ==

Hi Kogoro! I have a question about the pokemon go bulbapedia handbook and was wondering if you could help! In particular it's a question for whoever created the page linked below, but also just for anyone who knows the answer:
http://handbooks.bulbagarden.net/pokemongo/pokemon-index
The maximum CP of each pokemon is listed on the page. It lists Dragonite's maximum CP as 3525, which can only happen if it hits level 40.5 (with perfect IVs). I have been looking for days now for a reliable source that shows whether the maximum pokemon level is 40 or 40.5 and haven't found anything. Is there any way you could ask whoever created the page what their source was for having the maximum level be 40.5? Thank you so much!!!

== A couple of things (mostly Bulbanews) ==

Hello, I'd wish to talk about Bulbanews. Firstly, the new logo introduced a year ago has not yet been changed in the tabs and window color in my browser (I'm using Vivaldi) [http://imgur.com/JD7Supv image for reference]. Also, SnorlaxMonster created [[Bulbanews:User:SnorlaxMonster/Front page|a draft for a front page]] in that coloration, why has this not yet been implemented? The Bulba color template is still light green so a lot of things on Bulbanews in sill in that coloration. Also on a slight sidenote, the link from Bulbapedia and the Archives to Bulbanews when having set a different language translates it to current events (Aktuella händelser for me since my settings are in Swedish) for some reason, this is especialy strange since in English it just says Bulbanews, I don't think this is meant to be so if you could change that it would be nice.

Secondly, recently when unwatching a page the site asks me if I'm sure if I want to unwatch this page and I have to press yes before unwatching, this is annoying if I for some reason have to unwatch several pages at once which I sometimes do. This did not happen before some time ago so I'm wondering why and if it could be fixed. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 08:31, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

== The Message from the Editor and the inevitable site lockdown ==

I'm just wondering two things:

# When is the Message from the Editor on the main page going to change, since it has been 172-3 days since the message was last updated, back in March.
# When the site goes into lockdown because of the release of Pokémon Sun and Moon (It's happened at every release of a core series game for more than 5 years), is it possible to exclude individual pages from the lockdown, so that Pokémon Shuffle can continue to have its pages updated each week as it receives its weekly update, or will it simply have to wait until the lockdown ends or someone with the necessary user rights has time to edit the pages and add that week's new Pokémon and Special Stages?

[[User:PartHunter|PartHunter]] ([[User talk:PartHunter|talk]]) 14:04, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
:#The Message from the Editor is updated when there's an actual reason to update it, we don't post messages there just for the fun of it. There hasn't been a significant reason to make a new MftE since the last one, so there hasn't been one since then.
:#It hasn't yet been decided if we'll need to lock the wiki down for Sun & Moon release, though it is likely we will need to do so. We cannot pick & choose what pages are affected by the lockdown, it's all or nothing. There may be some trusted users allowed to continue editing through the lockdown, as we have done in the past, but that decision will be made much closer to the release of Sun & Moon. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 05:49, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

== Forced preview ==

I've been on a forced preview for severs years now, and I've occasionally felt it to be a hindrance. It was originally placed on me in order to, well, force preview before saving any edits. I thought I'd ask if it was possible to undo this. I remember asking about this a couple years or so back, but it was denied back then. Now I happen to be in a mood and spot where I feel like I could make the request again. So I kindly ask: Would it be possible and/or acceptable for one of you higher-ups of Bulbapedia to remove my forced preview? Waiting for your answer, [[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:13, 9 October 2016 (UTC).
:You are no longer forced to preview. However, there is one condition to this: We don't want to see a return to old habits of making frequent multi-edits. If you get back into the habit of frequently making multiple edits to articles to fix typos & such, you will be back to having forced preview indefinitely. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 09:49, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

== Copyright misunderstanding ==

So, sorry to bother you, but I got myself in the most unpleasant situation.

Recently I added some Origin to the Garchomp page, Bulette, a D&D original creature.

The user [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpking0192]] started a edit war claiming that "you" (I guess he thinks he's a staff member?) don't accept modern/copyrighted basis on the Origin section. All Right.

The "modern" sounded like a biased personal criteria to me since maaany Pokémon have modern inspirations, regardless, Dragon and Dungeons is almost half a century old and is really relevant to the RPG culture and could easily influence Pokémon, so I find hard to just ignore it. But the copyright could indeed be a problem; so, after some quick research I found the official list of their copyrighted creatures and Bulette wasn't one of them. So I added the Origin back and explained that it seemed like Bulette was not copyrighted.

Still, he removed it one more time with the same argument. I reverted it one more time and asked him to create a topic on the Talk Page if he wanted to debate about it properly and further, or to leave the Origin's viability analysis to some staff member. Then, the Administrator glik intervened and removed the changes, he went to my talk page and told me to find proof of Bulette's situation and to contact an Editorial member about it. So here I am. I guess he didn't believe me about it or misunderstood me, dunno.

I wasn't sure who I had to contact, but a friend of mine that works on the staff told me you would be the most adequate.

Anyway, here's the list they wanted, third question:

* "http://5e.d20srd.org/faq.htm"

tl; dr. Pompous random user removing things around, staff tells me to prove landshark ain't copyrighted to someone above him, here I am, end.

What happens now? Can I re-add it since it's all good? I mean, it was all good from the very beginning, but whatever. Thanks~

[[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 21:42, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
:Just popping in to say please assume good faith, I certainly don't think I'm a staff member, and when I used "we" I was referring to Bulbapedia as a community, i.e. ''all'' of us, not just those with authority (of whom I certainly am not). Again, please assume good faith. Thanks. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 05:18, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
::@ExLight: I'm not seeing a significant case to include Bulette as inspiration behind Garchomp, or its evolutionary relatives. As it's been noted, we generally avoid things that originate from copyrighted media (regardless to whether the character itself is copyrighted or not), as it's a very tricky thing to conclusively prove if they were or weren't the origin. If an official source actually notes that it was inspiration for any of the Pokémon, then we would include it. Additionally, please take some time to read the {{bp|code of conduct}}. Calling someone "pompous" really isn't necessary, or appropriate.
::@Pumpkinking0192: As much as others should assume good faith, you might want to try being a little clearer in your edit summaries and other messages you post. Rather than using "we" use "Bulbapedia". Vague wording can easily be misread, so it's always good to take extra effort to make messages clear. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:21, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

::: I see. Even though I disagree, I can see why that's how it is. It's not really important too, so I guess it doesn't really matter nor is worth such stress.

:::EDIT: I know you are probably busy, but I need to have a real talk with someone from the staff about the Origins sections. Sorry if you're not the one I'm looking for.

::: After thinking a lot over this matter, I decided I had to discuss about a few things that I noticed that are related to this section, mainly the process of selection of what goes in there and the "taboofication" of a few topics.

::: Firstly, I would like to point out that unlike most of the sections, Origins are impossible to be perfectly accurate since it requires the original creators to know the real inspirations, so it will always have speculations. Actually, most of the origins we have on the Bulbapedia are pure speculation. Avoiding this fact, as well as not mentioning possible origin, is silly and ends up damaging the real purpose of the Origin section.

::: This actually raises an issue since the selection of what goes in there is kind of unstable due to the subjectivity of the origins and, sometimes, biased. This results in a chaotic, non-homogenous section that often has some impossible/incomplete information. A few exemples that have/had been around for some time are: Vaporeon's design being compared to something that didn't even exist by the time it was designed, Floette's name being associated with the non-word "florette", Gabite being listed as a Land Shark from D&D for months despite all the ruckus related to Garchomp, many other pokémon compared to a few copyrighted media, some unlikely species in a few Pokémon's origins (especially in birds), etc.

::: As far as I can see, the Bulbapedia system seems to work fine most of the cases because they are mostly objective, but due to the Origin's section being so subjective and abstract the fact that just a few select what goes in and out is really repressive and can be flawed. So I feel like there should be a reform on this system, specifically for this part, since this actually tends to get stronger when reinforced by a large variety of points of view.

::: A project that would allow more freedom on this would be the creation of topics for discussion of each relevant theory and speculation, opening space for presenting the pros and cons of each claim, and then some process of popular approval. This way, these topics could be linked into the Origin's section similar to George Hutcheon's "On the Origin of Species" articles while still making clear that they're not official explanations and that its contents are not considered official in any way to the Bulbapedia or TPC. This would help to filter some absurd info and allow the Origin section be get more democratic or organized, maybe even separating it further on segments such as Concept, Design, Real World and Folkloric inspirations. A model like this would allow to include "taboofied" themes such as possible copyrighted media, polemic religious inspirations, and popular theories.

::: I know you might be thinking Talk Pages are enough, but unfortunately they don't seem to be the best place to discuss about origins since they often get lost amidst many other topics and/or ignored by indifference. Providing a particular space for those interested in origins would be refreshing and could fix some actual issues.

::: Since Bulbapedia is the role model for most of the Pokémon sites I believe it should try to be as organized and complete as it can. Pursuing this matter somehow would be an interesting way to improve the site's quality and organization.

::: I do understand that the Bulbapedia is huge, and it's hard for the staff, or the members, to take care of everything 24/7, but I do feel a little uncomfortable seeing some lost great potential and a few absurd things around one of the most important sections. So, please, at least consider my proposal; it's not as complicated as it might sound.

::: Have a nice day.

I stopped using the name Xolroc several months ago for personal reasons, and now go by the name Felthry; if I could have my username changed to that, it would be much appreciated.

== A few questions ==

Hey, long time no see. I would like to ask just a few questions.

1. Is there any reason for this wiki not to use the [[mw:Extension:WikiEditor|WikiEditor extension]]? It provides a rather friendlier and more advanced editing interface, not to the mention the ever-so-welcome 'find and replace' function.

2. Would it be possible to combine my user talk archives? And to move the current four messages from my main user talk to the combined archives? The first archive has only one message while I am sure that I will not be receiving new messages (on my main talk) due to my bouts of inactivity. In a way, I am asking this more for the aesthetic part but also for keeping things in one place. I have read the talk page policy, but either it does not specify it, or it does but it's unclear or I find it unclear.

Is it possible to do tabs for infoboxes (such as on some Wikia pages, like [http://theamazingworldofgumball.wikia.com/wiki/Gumball_Watterson]) without MediaWiki extensions? I had an idea that I'd test out in my userspace. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:38, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
:As far as I am aware, tabs like that require specific Javascript coding installed in the wiki's [[MediaWiki:Common.js|common.js]] page. Since the staff considered, and decided against, using such tabs several years back, we do not have the needed Javascript on site. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 02:50, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

== Suggestion for a new link template ==

Hi there! Sorry for skipping all the way to the top of the chain of command, but I'm not sure whose purview link templates fall under.

I wanted to ask whether it would be a good idea for us to have a link template called <code><nowiki>{{Mega Evolve}}</nowiki></code> that produces the text <code><nowiki>[[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]</nowiki></code> so it's easier to link it in that way when the verb form is desired (such as the sentence I just added to the [[Z-Crystal]] article). Is this a good idea for a link template? Thanks. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 23:47, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

== Top contributors ==

Hi I'm sorry to bother you about something so trivial but I'm confused about the page [[Bulbapedia:Top contributors]]. I keep track of how many edits I do and I know that I had about 15,000 edits by the start of April. I thought that I would be on the list this time but do not see my username there, despite being higher than the 20th spot. Is there something I'm missing with this process?--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 00:56, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
:The top contributors & top contributors of the month pages only count mainspace edits that are made to actual articles.

== Bulbabot ==

I've noticed that recently Bulbabot has started to move the Italian interwiki links above the rest with a space between. Is this supposed to happen? Cause I have moved it back every time I have seen it happen. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 16:40, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

==Underleveled page==

Hi Kogoro,
Can you please clarify why you deleted the Underleveled Pokemon page? The user page User:Nikuriku/Underleveled Pokemon cannot be used collaboratively, and the content is currently not compiled anywhere else. Could the page please be reinstated, and the redirect to the user page removed instead? Alternatively, could you please provide me with the source code I made, so I can continue to bring it up to standard?

Regards --[[User:Mystery man 42|Mystery man 42]] ([[User talk:Mystery man 42|talk]]) 05:36, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
:Redirects to the userspace do not belong in the mainspace. If you wanted to add content to the draft made by Nikuriku, you should have offered it on the draft's talk page or asked Nikuriku if you could add it. I am not going to restore your edits. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 04:28, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

== Template:MoveInfobox ==

Dear Madam EiC, hi Kogoro,

could you please approve [[User:Nescientist/Template:MoveInfobox|this template]]? Further infos/arguments are at its talk page, and in the edit history if you'd like. Please let me know if you feel anything needs changing, in particular relating to its inclusion of (cropped) Z-Crystal images.

I'm prepared to semi-automatically run through all move pages to incorporate the new params (plus some other stuff). Note that, if you already moved/merged it now, the pages shouldn't break (neither visually nor semantically).

Also, are [[accuracy]] and/or [[damage category]] to be moved? If so, I suggest doing it in one swoop!? In addition to the move infobox, it "only" seems to be all learnlist headers, some minor unprotected templates I could do, and a few links spread across the wiki (many of which seem to be at move pages, so I could easily catch those, too).

Thanks. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 22:00, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
:Please provide some sample uses of your template in your userspace, so we can review that everything is functioning correctly. We will then consider your template (or parts of it) for use. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 04:28, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

:::Because I decided to go ahead and redesign this template and have it approved (or, at least, reviewed) first, I'm holding off on running through the pages for about two months now. With that redesign, I'm addressing some issues that were known or have been requested for even longer (and I mean the template alone, not my scripty thing). Using all my charm, doing a formal bow: Could you assign this to the priority line, pleease? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 16:59, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
::::I'm usually really, really patient, and I believe this case is not an exception. (Frankly, it sometimes feels like I've kinda been sacrificing progress for politeness and.. loyalty, or something.)
::::I admit that this is not a minor request, but obviously I consider it worthwhile to be constantly bugging you about it (and to write this very message).

::::Therefore, I feel it is my responsibility to inform you that I expect to receive an appropriate answer by Oct 26. Should you (or, staff) be unable to provide such, I'm afraid I will have to reconsider editing Bulbapedia.

== Marshtompert ==

I hope I'm not overstepping my boundaries, but I've been suspicious about Marshtompert ever since they started editing: they seemed to be far too familiar with Bulbapedia proceedings to be a truly new user, and seemed to be just abrasive enough about some of their edits that I wondered if they might be someone sockpuppeting to get around a ban. But I didn't have any real ''reason'' to suspect them, so I tried to ignore it.

Now they are habitually adding delete templates to the userpages of banned users, just like Spyspotter once did (and in at least one case, on [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:Aquagal444&curid=21462&action=history the same page] as one that Spyspotter targeted). I know it's not my place, but I feel obliged to alert the staff to this suspicion and ask whether y'all have checked whether Marshtompert may be another of Spyspotter's sockpuppets, which I know they made frequently in the past.

Thanks for your time. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 18:20, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Also do you know why pictures no longer list new pages they are put onto, such as File:Lycanroc anime.png not being shown on {{p|Lycanroc}} or File:Ash Rockruff.png still being listed on [[Ash Ketchum]]'s page despite no longer being there.

It is also one of the songs featured in the Japan-only game, {{dk|Donkey Konga 3}}.

==Opening animation: TV OP 1==
===Synopsis===
[[File:OPJ01 Mew.png|thumb|250px|Mew]]
The [[type]] symbols appear in a circle, and the series logo appears on the screen. The final [[evolution]]s of the three {{pkmn2|starter}}s, Pikachu, Ash and an unnamed {{tc|Lass}} are seen. This is followed by three scenes showing random [[Generation I]] Pokémon.

Ash is then seen with a [[Poké Ball]]. After that, he is riding on the back of a Lapras with Pikachu while a Gyarados and Dragonair are seen jumping out and in the water. Next, Ash and Pikachu are looking at [[Pallet Town]]. It cuts to a scene with them walking, and then Ash throws a Poké Ball with a Pidgeot inside. The Pokémon then begins battling with a Fearow.

{{Ash}} appears looking at the screen, when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} appear on either side of him. This is followed by [[Jessie]] and [[James]] rising up in front of them. Koffing, Meowth and Ekans jump up next, followed by {{Gary}} holding a Poké Ball. Ash and {{ashfr}} are seen running from the rain. This is followed by a short clip of [[Nurse Joy]], {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Delia Ketchum]].

The next scene shows Ash and his friends in [[Viridian Forest]]. Then, Ash and Pikachu are seen running with an Arcanine and a Rapidash. The latter Pokémon jumps up, and the three [[Legendary birds]] are seen flying in the sky. A clip of Mewtwo and Mew in space is shown, followed by Ash in a stadium holding a Poké Ball. His friends appear with him.

===Trivia===
[[File:OPJ01 TCG types.png|thumb|250px|The TCG types]]
* The battle between [[Ash's Pidgeot]] and the Fearow is a parallel of ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', the first episode in which [[The Rivals|the following opening]] was used. Ash's {{p|Pidgeotto}} did not become Pidgeot until that episode.
* The elemental logos shown before and during the title logo animation are the symbols for the [[Generation I|(then)]] seven {{TCG|Type|TCG types}}.
* The song can be heard in the instrumental version of ''[[High Touch!]]''.
* The image of {{p|Porygon}} was interestingly not removed after the [[EP038]] incident.
* At one point of ''[[BW094|The Road to Humilau!]]'', Ash and {{un|Cameron}} hum this theme in the Japanese version. However, it was not kept in the English dub.
* An instrumental version of the original version of this song appears in both the Japanese and English versions of [[Pokémon Pinball]] when the player is attempting to catch or evolve a Pokémon.
* A scene in which Ash stands in a stadium was used as part of an bumper with Brock's voice saying "We'll Be Back After These Messages!" when the 4Kids dub was first aired in syndication in 1998 in America.

====Errors====
* When {{MTR}}, [[Jessie's Arbok|Ekans]], and [[James's Weezing|Koffing]] jump onscreen, Meowth's right fang disappears for a split second.
* When Ash and {{ashfr}} are running from the rain, Poliwrath's eyelid is white instead of blue.

===Variants===
{{incomplete|section|Episodes in which the fourth variant ended (EP039 - ???) and the fifth started (??? - EP080). Please note that the seizure-safe, fourth variant is used for the EP001-037 reruns (the ones where electric attacks and flashy scenes are slowed down)}}
#[[EP001]] - [[EP002]]: The original animation. During the Pokémon images scene, there's a picture of a {{p|Kadabra}}, but it reads "{{p|Alakazam|Foodin}}" on it.
#[[EP003]]: The Kadabra error is corrected, and an actual Alakazam picture is put in its place.
#[[EP004]] - [[EP038]]: The {{TCG|Type|TCG types}} symbol background keeps rotating after the "Pocket Monsters" logo appears in the title screen, and after the executive production credits appear on the final shot.
#[[EP039]] - ???: After the "Pokémon Shock" incident of [[EP038]], the opening was changed to be broken up into four images per screen. This change also applies to reruns of the first 37 episodes.
#??? - ???: A shot where Ash throws a Poké Ball is slowed down, removing part of the scene where the spinning Poké Ball covers the entire screen, and Ash holding another one was edited to remove one frame where it glows over the entire screen. Two frames were also removed from the battle between Ash's Pidgeot and {{p|Fearow}}. Several frames were removed from the scene staring [[Zapdos]] (This change carried over to the western opening).
#??? - [[EP080]]: The title screen is CGI animated.

===Synopsis===
Ash is holding a Poké Ball towards the screen. The logo appears, followed by Pikachu fighting against a Tyranitar by using {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Ash and his friends are then seen jumping into the water. There, a Mantine, Lanturn, Lapras and Lugia appear swimming alongside them. Ash turned his hat and faced the left.

This is followed by Ash and Pikachu running with Ho-Oh flying in the background. The Trainer looks at a stadium and clips of his Pokémon appear on the screen. A scene then follows, showing Ash and the others looking at a city in which the [[Legendary beasts]], Celebi, Mewtwo and Mew are seen.

Ash and the others are then shown walking into a cave where Misdreavus and Crobat appear. Ash and the others stood at a bridge. Then, the [[Pichu Brothers]] are under it. After that, Ash tried to chase after his Pokémon. Then, Team Rocket chased after Ash and his friends. Finally, Ash and his friends chased after Team Rocket with {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} in front of them.

Four Pokémon and five people are on top and {{p|Larvitar}} stood in front of them. Ash and Pikachu ran up a flight of stairs together with the [[Legendary Birds]] and reached the Plateau. Ash and Pikachu stood in front of many Pokémon. Ash, Misty, Brock and Ash's Pokémon stood together.

}}
'''Aim to Be a Pokémon Master''' (Japanese: '''めざせポケモンマスター''' ''Mezase Pokémon Master'') was the first opening theme song of the [[Pokémon anime]] series, with a cover by [[Whiteberry]] being the fourth. An arrangement made to commemorate the anime's 20th anniversary replaced [[Alola!!]] as the second opening song of the {{series|Sun & Moon}}.

==Opening animation: TV OP 1==
===Synopsis===
[[File:OPJ01 Mew.png|thumb|250px|Mew]]
The [[type]] symbols appear in a circle, and the series logo appears on the screen. The final [[evolution]]s of the three {{pkmn2|starter}}s, Pikachu, Ash and an unnamed {{tc|Lass}} are seen. This is followed by three scenes showing random [[Generation I]] Pokémon.

Ash is then seen with a [[Poké Ball]]. After that, he is riding on the back of a Lapras with Pikachu while a Gyarados and Dragonair are seen jumping out and in the water. Next, Ash and Pikachu are looking at [[Pallet Town]]. It cuts to a scene with them walking, and then Ash throws a Poké Ball with a Pidgeot inside. The Pokémon then begins battling with a Fearow.

{{Ash}} appears looking at the screen, when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} appear on either side of him. This is followed by [[Jessie]] and [[James]] rising up in front of them. Koffing, Meowth and Ekans jump up next, followed by {{Gary}} holding a Poké Ball. Ash and {{ashfr}} are seen running from the rain. This is followed by a short clip of [[Nurse Joy]], {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Delia Ketchum]].

The next scene shows Ash and his friends in [[Viridian Forest]]. Then, Ash and Pikachu are seen running with an Arcanine and a Rapidash. The latter Pokémon jumps up, and the three [[Legendary birds]] are seen flying in the sky. A clip of Mewtwo and Mew in space is shown, followed by Ash in a stadium holding a Poké Ball. His friends appear with him.

===Trivia===
[[File:OPJ01 TCG types.png|thumb|250px|The TCG types]]
* The battle between [[Ash's Pidgeot]] and the Fearow is a parallel of ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', the first episode in which [[The Rivals|the following opening]] was used. Ash's {{p|Pidgeotto}} did not become Pidgeot until that episode.
* The elemental logos shown before and during the title logo animation are the symbols for the [[Generation I|(then)]] seven {{TCG|Type|TCG types}}.
* The song can be heard in the instrumental version of ''[[High Touch!]]''.
* The image of {{p|Porygon}} was interestingly not removed after the [[EP038]] incident.
* At one point of ''[[BW094|The Road to Humilau!]]'', Ash and {{un|Cameron}} hum this theme in the Japanese version. However, it was not kept in the English dub.
* An instrumental version of the original version of this song appears in both the Japanese and English versions of [[Pokémon Pinball]] when the player is attempting to catch or evolve a Pokémon.
* A scene in which Ash stands in a stadium was used as part of an bumper with Brock's voice saying "We'll Be Back After These Messages!" when the 4Kids dub was first aired in syndication in 1998 in America.

====Errors====
* When {{MTR}}, [[Jessie's Arbok|Ekans]], and [[James's Weezing|Koffing]] jump onscreen, Meowth's right fang disappears for a split second.
* When Ash and {{ashfr}} are running from the rain, Poliwrath's eyelid is white instead of blue.

===Variants===
{{incomplete|section|Episodes in which the fourth variant ended (EP039 - ???) and the fifth started (??? - EP080). Please note that the seizure-safe, fourth variant is used for the EP001-037 reruns (the ones where electric attacks and flashy scenes are slowed down)}}
#[[EP001]] - [[EP002]]: The original animation. During the Pokémon images scene, there's a picture of a {{p|Kadabra}}, but it reads "{{p|Alakazam|Foodin}}" on it.
#[[EP003]]: The Kadabra error is corrected, and an actual Alakazam picture is put in its place.
#[[EP004]] - [[EP038]]: The {{TCG|Type|TCG types}} symbol background keeps rotating after the "Pocket Monsters" logo appears in the title screen, and after the executive production credits appear on the final shot.
#[[EP039]] - ???: After the "Pokémon Shock" incident of [[EP038]], the opening was changed to be broken up into four images per screen. This change also applies to reruns of the first 37 episodes.
#??? - ???: A shot where Ash throws a Poké Ball is slowed down, removing part of the scene where the spinning Poké Ball covers the entire screen, and Ash holding another one was edited to remove one frame where it glows over the entire screen. Two frames were also removed from the battle between Ash's Pidgeot and {{p|Fearow}}. Several frames were removed from the scene staring [[Zapdos]] (This change carried over to the western opening).
#??? - [[EP080]]: The title screen is CGI animated.

===Synopsis===
Ash is holding a Poké Ball towards the screen. The logo appears, followed by Pikachu fighting against a Tyranitar by using {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Ash and his friends are then seen jumping into the water. There, a Mantine, Lanturn, Lapras and Lugia appear swimming alongside them. Ash turned his hat and faced the left.

This is followed by Ash and Pikachu running with Ho-Oh flying in the background. The Trainer looks at a stadium and clips of his Pokémon appear on the screen. A scene then follows, showing Ash and the others looking at a city in which the [[Legendary beasts]], Celebi, Mewtwo and Mew are seen.

Ash and the others are then shown walking into a cave where Misdreavus and Crobat appear. Ash and the others stood at a bridge. Then, the [[Pichu Brothers]] are under it. After that, Ash tried to chase after his Pokémon. Then, Team Rocket chased after Ash and his friends. Finally, Ash and his friends chased after Team Rocket with {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} in front of them.

Four Pokémon and five people are on top and {{p|Larvitar}} stood in front of them. Ash and Pikachu ran up a flight of stairs together with the [[Legendary Birds]] and reached the Plateau. Ash and Pikachu stood in front of many Pokémon. Ash, Misty, Brock and Ash's Pokémon stood together.

* This is the first opening theme to not be performed by [[Rica Matsumoto]].

==Blurb==

At the Lumiose airport, Ash is heading home to Kanto, Serena is catching a flight to Hoenn, and Clemont and Bonnie have come to see them off. Dedenne doesn’t seem to understand what’s happening, and when Bonnie explains that it’s time to say goodbye to their friends, Dedenne throws a tantrum and runs off to hide!

Bonnie soon coaxes it back with a moving speech about pursuing their dreams together, and then it’s time for Serena’s flight and an emotional farewell to Ash. Clemont has the perfect idea for passing the time until Ash has to leave—a battle between Pikachu and Bunnelby, just like on the day they met!

==Plot==
The episode begins with {{Ash}} making a phone call to Professor Oak and {{Delia|his mother}}, although he first has to deal with {{AP|Pikachu}} saying his hellos a little too close. Delia thanks {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} for accompanying Ash on his [[Kalos]] journey, and they assure her the pleasure was theirs as they've learned a lot from traveling with him and had a lot of fun too. Ash tells his mom that he has a lot of stories to tell and will be starting the trip back to [[Kanto]] that afternoon, and Professor Oak assures him they'll be waiting. Delia wishes her son a safe journey, and extends an open invitation to Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie to visit anytime. The call ends, and Ash tells Pikachu that it's time to start getting ready, making Bonnie start to realize their journey is indeed about to come to an end.

Later, the gang tuck into lunch; however, Serena notices that Bonnie has barely eaten anything. Bonnie shrugs it off by claiming to have eaten too many sweets earlier, and as Clemont begins to remind her about not eating just before meals, the doorbell rings. The gang find that [[Professor Sycamore]], [[Alain]], [[Mairin]], and [[Chespie]] have arrived, with Sycamore telling them that he just called to say a final goodbye before Ash and Serena leave.

[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} make a report to {{an|Giovanni}} detailing how they single-handedly brought down [[Team Flare]] and destroyed the [[Giant Rock]], thanks to doctored footage, while claiming that their goal was their entire reason for coming to Kalos in the first place. Giovanni tells them that it's obvious they did play a role in stopping Team Flare and congratulates them on a job well done before ordering them to report back to the {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}. The three then celebrate with their Pokémon that the altered footage worked and that Giovanni is pleased with them, before rushing off to catch the first plane back to Kanto.

Ash is surprised to have been told that Alain and Mairin are leaving on a new journey to [[Frost Cavern]] as part of Professor Sycamore's research. Sycamore explains the discovery that the {{ci|Anistar}} Sundial is now emitting energy whenever sunlight shines on it that can be used to pin down the location of [[Mega Stone]]s, meaning that there should be a Mega Stone somewhere in Frost Cavern. Mairin explains that many other locations have been identified too, all of which will be checked out as part of her and Alain's investigation. Ash then notices that Alain is no longer wearing his [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]], and Alain explains that because he had received it from [[Lysandre]], he gave it to the authorities to use as evidence, knowing full well that he would no longer be able to Mega Evolve his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}. Alain tells Ash that he has decided to follow his example and start from scratch with the intention of finding the Mega Stone on his own, and hopes that one day when they're both strong enough again they will battle once more. Ash promises him that they will, and the two friends bid each other a final goodbye. Chespie says farewell to [[Clemont's Chespin]], who begins to cry. Mairin thanks Serena for her help in rescuing Chespie from [[Lysandre Labs]], but Serena shrugs off the thanks by saying that Mairin played as much of a role as she did. Sycamore tells the gang before he leaves that he looks forward to reuniting with them all one day, and the gang bid him, Alain, Mairin, and Chespie goodbye. Ash then realizes it's time for them to prepare to leave too, causing Bonnie to become sad again.

At Lumiose Airport, the gang discover that Serena's flight to [[Hoenn]] will be leaving before Ash's flight and decide to take the chance to let out all their Pokémon to say farewell, warning them that they may not see each other again for quite a long time. There are many fond farewells among the Pokémon, with much sadness and tears. {{TP|Serena|Braixen}} walks up to {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} to say goodbye; however, Dedenne can't bring himself to. Bonnie sadly tells him that they need to say goodbye, but Dedenne begins to get upset and instead escapes from Bonnie's arms and runs through the airport. Giving chase, and using Pikachu's electricity, they track down Dedenne who is hiding behind a video monitor. Everyone asks Dedenne to emerge but he refuses to. Bonnie tells him she understands how he feels because she feels exactly the same; she feels very close to everyone and their Pokémon and her dream is that they could all stay together forever. However, she explains that she understands that Ash and Serena have their own dreams and they need to leave to pursue them, just as she has her own dream of one day becoming a Pokémon Trainer with Dedenne as her partner. She hopes to one day defeat Serena in a [[Pokémon Showcase]] and win against Ash in a Pokémon battle and knows that saying goodbye is just another step on that journey, and so that's why they should be happy, too, since it brings them all closer to their dreams. Dedenne is still upset, but emerges and jumps into Bonnie's arms. Ash asks Dedenne to help Bonnie achieve her dream and looks forward to facing Bonnie in a battle someday, although he doesn't intend to lose. Serena concurs, promising to face and try and win against Bonnie in a Showcase. Clemont also looks forward to when he can face her in a Gym battle. This helps both Dedenne and Bonnie to cheer up, knowing they still have a lot to look forward to.

Soon it is time for Serena to leave. She thanks Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie for all of their help throughout her first journey. Clemont asks her to call them occasionally, while Bonnie tells her she'll come and find her once she's started her journey. Serena then tells Ash she's glad she sought him out when she began her journey and that he is her ultimate goal. Ash is briefly taken aback. She vows to seek him out again someday as a more mature woman, and Ash voices his approval. As Serena is carried down the escalator, she quickly turns around again, asking for one last thing from Ash. She runs back up the escalator and is seen leaning in towards Ash, but her farewell is not shown directly. As the escalator pulls her back downwards again, Clemont, Bonnie, and Pikachu are stunned and blushing. Ash's face remains blank for a while, while Serena is also blushing as she moves away. Serena thanks them, and they all recover to bid her an enthusiastic farewell.

Outside the airport, Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie watch as Serena's plane leaves. Clemont hopes Serena will be okay, and Ash assures him that she'll be fine and will become stronger in Hoenn. Clemont also promises to become stronger and invent devices that will help people and Pokémon. The three have some more time before Ash's plane leaves, so Clemont has a request for Ash before he leaves; he wishes to end their adventure in Kalos as it began: with a {{pkmn|battle}}. Ash happily agrees, and sends Pikachu up against {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} as Bonnie watches. The two Trainers, as would be expected, battle to their hardest.

As the sun sets in Kalos, Clemont and Bonnie watch as Ash's plane flies away. On a bright sunny day in Hoenn, Serena arrives, ready to begin a new adventure as she recalls her previous adventures: choosing {{p|Fennekin}} as her starter Pokémon, meeting {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} and {{TP|Serena|Eevee|Sylveon}}, finding her calling as a [[Pokémon Performer]], and getting a chance to strive for the title of {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}}. At the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]], Clemont works on an [[List of Clemont's inventions|invention]] (assisted by [[Clembot]]) as he remembers meeting Ash, getting to invent various devices, reuniting with {{TP|Clemont|Luxio|Luxray}}, eventually facing Ash in a Gym Battle and having to sacrifice his first Clembot to help defeat Team Flare. Bonnie recalls all the Pokémon she got to meet throughout the journey and formed special relationships with: {{p|Flabébé}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Tyrunt}}, and [[Squishy]]. At his lab, Professor Sycamore helps a {{tc|Youngster}} choose his first Pokémon before taking a call from Alain and Mairin. In Frost Cavern, Alain, Mairin, Charizard, and Chespie take in the wonderful sights as Alain looks forward to his fresh start. At the ruins of the Lysandre Labs, [[Sawyer]] is living his dream as he assists {{Steven}} with his investigation of the site. In a forest, {{an|Shauna}}, {{an|Tierno}}, and {{an|Trevor}} enjoy meeting the various Pokémon that live there. At {{rt|14|Kalos|the wetlands}}, {{AP|Goodra}} continues its role as caregiver as it breaks up a squabble between a {{p|Lotad}} and a {{p|Wooper}}. Nearby, {{AP|Greninja}} destroys another vine made of negative energy while being watched over by Squishy and [[Z2]], continuing its role as protector of Kalos.

On his plane, Ash looks out at the passing seascape as he recalls his adventures in Kalos: arriving in the region with [[Alexa]], making new friends and meeting new Pokémon, defeating [[Gym Leader]]s, finding new [[rival]]s, going on new adventures, meeting with Team Rocket various times, deepening his relationship with Froakie and eventually unlocking the power of the [[Bond Phenomenon]], making it to the finals of the [[Lumiose Conference]] against Alain, and destroying the Giant Rock and taking down Team Flare with the help of the Gym Leaders of Kalos, [[Diantha]], Steven, [[Malva]], and {{p|Zygarde}}. He then recalls his final goodbye with Greninja, before leaving him so he could meet his own destiny.

It is the middle of the night when Ash arrives at the outskirts of [[Pallet Town]], and the young Trainer spends a few seconds regarding his hometown before continuing. Arriving home, he sees the lights are still on and knows his mom is waiting. Taking a moment to reflect that they have another wonderful adventure behind them, Ash and Pikachu enter the house ready for the day when they'll go on their next Pokémon journey.

[[File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
[[File:XY140 Sun Moon Reference.png|200px|thumb|The Sun & Moon reference]]
[[File:And to our own way.png|250px|thumb|And to our own way]]
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: [[Mega Evolution]]
* Unlike the final episodes of the previous four series, the phrase ''Next Time... A New Beginning!'' is not used; instead being replaced with ''And to our own way'' in golden cursive writing, likely as a reference to the ending of the [[Pokémon X and Y]] games.
* The English dub was released on [[iTunes]] and [[Amazon Video]] on January 8, 2017, thirteen days before the episode aired in the United States. The same occurred for all episodes in Volume 4 of [[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]] that aired after an all-day marathon of ''{{wp|Teen Titans Go! (TV series)|Teen Titans Go!}}'' on November 26, 2016, and before January 11, 2017, when the error was fixed (''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'' through ''Till We Compete Again!'').
** However, the episode was pulled from [[iTunes]] and Amazon on January 11, 2017, although those who had already purchased and downloaded the episode could still view it. It was later released again on iTunes and Amazon on January 22, 2017, the day it was supposed to be released.
* {{TRT|Team Rocket}} does not perform the motto or blast off in this episode.
* An instrumental version of [[PK24|Relic Song]] is used when Ash, {{an|Bonnie}}, and {{an|Clemont}} separate with {{an|Serena}} in the airport.
* The full version of [[V (Volt)]] is used as an insert song at the end of the episode, being played over clips of previous episodes (substituting the usual ending sequence).
* This episode was followed by a preview of the {{series|Sun & Moon}}.
* The {{p|Solrock}} and {{p|Lunatone}} souvenirs that Team Rocket drops at the airport while returning to the {{an|Team Rocket HQ}} in [[Kanto]] are likely a reference to the ''Sun & Moon'' series.
* [[Professor Sycamore]] narrates the preview for the [[SS036|next episode]].
* This is the final main series episode to air on [[Cartoon Network]] in {{pmin|the United States}}.
* Ash's last battle in the [[Kalos]] region is against Clemont, which is a callback to the episode ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', in which Ash has his first battle in Kalos against him as well.
* The aerial view of the [[Hoenn]] airport Serena arrives at is a direct copy of {{wp|Kansai International Airport}} in Osaka, Japan, while the entrance gate she is shown at is almost identical to the {{wp|Saga Airport}} in Saga, Japan.
** In the real world, the Saga Airport is located in {{wp|Kyushu}}, the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Hoenn|basis]] of the Hoenn region, and the Kansai International Airport is located in the {{wp|Kansai}} region of Japan, the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Johto|basis]] of the [[Johto]] region.
* This finale marks the first time the regional professor has appeared in the last episode of the series in which they were introduced.
* When Ash arrives home, the flowers seen next to his house are {{wp|Gypsophila|baby's-breath}}. {{cat|Episodes directed by Tetsuo Yajima|Tetsuo Yajima}} stated in a {{wp|Twitter|tweet}} that the presence of these flowers was meant to be symbolic to their meaning in the {{wp|language of flowers|flower language}} (innocence, pure of heart).
* This is the final episode to have a frame rate of 30 frames per second. Starting in the ''Sun & Moon series'', the episodes return to a frame rate of 24 frames per second, which was used previously in the {{series|original}} and {{series|Advanced Generation}}.
* This episode is [[Delia Ketchum]]'s only appearance in the {{series|XY}} and first appearance overall since ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', 140 episodes prior.
* This episode has the longest credits sequence of any episode, with the credits being displayed onscreen over a span of two minutes.
* This episode is the last time that [[Kayzie Rogers]] voices {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. [[Erica Schroeder]] takes on the role starting from ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]''.

===Errors===

===Dub edits===
* In the Japanese version, Delia apologizes to Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie for any trouble Ash might have been, while in the dub, she simply asks how they are.
* [[V (Volt)]] is replaced by an instrumental medley of [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub OP 17|Pokémon Theme (Version XY)]] and [[Be a Hero]] in US and international versions. In the Thai dub, [[Long Long Time]] plays. In the Korean dub, [[Beyond the Limit]] plays.
* In the United States Cartoon Network airing, Ash's flashback sequence is shortened by one minute and 20 seconds. Because of this, the credits are played for their normal 30-second duration after the end of the episode, rather than displayed over two minutes of the flashback sequence as in the Japanese version and the iTunes and Amazon version.

* Each of the main opening themes was also used as the English ending theme (shortened, half-minute version during the 4Kids-dubbed seasons), except during [[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]], where part of the rap section of {{so|Pokémon Go!}} served as the ending theme instead.
* Starting with [[We Will Be Heroes]], the main opening themes started to include credits.

John Loeffler

2017-11-07T13:23:29Z

Theexploringgamer: /* Producing credits */ Added Movie 20, as he is credited

[[File:John Loeffler.jpg|thumb|John Loeffler]]
'''John Loeffler''' (sometimes credited as '''John Leffler''' or '''Joe Loeffler''') is a former producer, writer, and singer for the English [[dub]] of the [[Pokémon anime]].

As CEO of Rave Music, he was in charge of all the music for the U.S. localization of the show from its inception to the [[S17|seventeenth season]]. Up until this time, Loeffler produced all of the original music for the series, including album releases, movie scores, dub scores, and the [[Pokémon Live!]] show. He has written, composed, or arranged a majority of the tracks with many composers including [[John Siegler]] (also of Rave), [[David Wolfert]], and [[Norman J. Grossfeld]], producer of the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub. He was involved in producing the opening themes from seasons 1-4, and has written and produced the English opening themes from the [[S09|ninth season]] to the [[S16|sixteenth season]] of the anime. John is also respectably credited for composing and writing the lyrics of the seventeenth season opening theme as the song was based on the [[S01|first season's]] opening theme.

After producing [[Pokémon Theme (Version XY)]], he and David Wolfert were replaced by [[Ed Goldfarb]].

'''Nurse Joy''' (Japanese: '''ジョーイ''' ''Joy'', referred to as '''ジョーイさん''' ''Joy-{{wp|Japanese honorifics#San|san}}'' by most characters) are kind nurses who take care of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. As revealed in ''[[DP028|Drifloon in the Wind!]]'', Joy is not the first name of these women, but actually the family name. They are based on the in-game [[Pokémon Center Nurse]]s.

==In the anime==
===History===
====[[Original series]]====
=====Kanto=====
[[File:Nurse Joy.png|thumb|left|220px|Nurse Joy before the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
Nurse Joy debuted in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''. With his {{AP|Pikachu}} critically injured from the [[EP001|events of the last episode]], Ash rushed the Electric Mouse Pokémon to the Pokémon Center in [[Viridian City]] with the help of the [[Officer Jenny]] of the area. After healing Pikachu, {{TRT}} overtook the Pokémon Center, forcing her to rely on her own {{p|Pikachu}} generator built inside the lab. While they hid from Team Rocket, Nurse Joy activated the computer and started to transfer the Poké Balls containing injured Pokémon to the Pokémon Center in [[Pewter City]]. The next morning, the Nurse Joy from Pewter City called and told her sister that all the Pokémon had made it safely to her center, to which the Viridian Nurse Joy was grateful.

In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', Ash went to Nurse Joy for her to take care of Pikachu since he was overcharged with electricity. Nurse Joy dismissed it as a cold and had Ash leave Pikachu with Nurse Joy for the night. Later, when the power went out, Nurse Joy became worried about the Pokémon as she told them to hang in there until the power went back on and hoped that Ash and his friends will be able to restore it. After Ash caught {{AP|Muk}}, she thanked Ash for helping the Pokémon to survive and inspired her to become a better nurse.

In ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', Nurse Joy was supposed to deliver medicine for injured Pokémon over in [[Sunnytown]], but was unable to leave the Pokémon Center since she had some Pokémon to deal with. She gave Ash and his friends the medicine as they volunteered to deliver it to Sunnytown. After dealing with a bike gang, the group successfully arrived in Sunnytown. The Nurse Joy there fed it to {{p|Shellder}} and Shellder became well.

In ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]'', she called Ash and his friends in [[Dr. Proctor]]'s office about a truck of Pokémon who were stolen by Team Rocket became injured. Since the Pokémon Center was full, an extra room in Dr. Proctor's hospital was needed.

In ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', Nurse Joy ran some tests on [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] when its bulb was glowing. She revealed to Ash that Bulbasaur was about to evolve, which took place in a festival where the other {{p|Bulbasaur}} evolve as well.

Nurse Joy signed up for the Pokémon League Admissions Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'' to become a Pokémon Master and received testing number 3. After taking the exam, a scoreboard was shown and Nurse Joy's was near the top scorers. Later, Nurse Joy battled the [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|instructor]]'s {{p|Charmander}} with a {{p|Squirtle}}, and won.

=====Orange Archipelago=====
[[File:Nurse Joy EP092.png|thumb|220px|Nurse Joy as seen in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]'']]
In ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', Ash took a sick {{AP|Lapras}} to Nurse Joy on [[Tangelo Island]]. She concluded that Lapras needed rest and had become afraid of human contact since the incident with the [[three punks]]. She filled in Ash about the [[Orange League|Orange Crew]] on the [[Orange Archipelago]].

Nurse Joy led an excavation crew on [[Fukuhara Island No. 4]] in ''[[EP089|Shell Shock]]''. A {{OBP|reporter|EP089}} interviewed Nurse Joy about the {{p|Kabuto}} inhabiting there. She later led them to the fossils within a cave in the island, even though [[Umberto]] warned them about not disturbing the fossils. When the island was about to get swallowed up by the tide, she boarded a raft that the crew had made and safely rafted away on it.

In ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]'', a tan and muscular Nurse Joy Ash and his friends met on an {{OBP|unnamed island|EP092}} went from island to island to help sick and injured Pokémon. She invited them to her local clinic for lunch. The group volunteered to help out Nurse Joy on taking care of the sick Pokémon. Later, while Joy was attempting to help baby {{p|Seel}}, Team Rocket arrived and trapped the group in a net. It wasn't until a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Gyarados}} removed the net that Joy got a chance to finally take care of the baby Seel.

=====Johto=====
In ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', Nurse Joy had to deal with a Blissey that was accident prone.

In ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', a Nurse Joy with the Pokémon Psychology degree had a therapy session with {{Ash}} when {{AP|Chikorita}} became jealous of his Pikachu.

A Nurse Joy who appeared in ''[[EP206|The Joy of Water Pokémon]]'' was in charge of a Pokémon Center which specialized in {{type|Water}} Pokémon, despite being afraid of them herself.

In [[EP250]], Nurse Joy ran a Pokémon Center in the [[Ice Path|Ice Cave]]. She had some {{type|Ice}} Pokémon there instead of a Chansey. The Nurse Joy from the Orange Island was seen in a photograph in that episode, and was said to be the elder sister of the nurse in charge of the Pokémon Center in the Ice Cave.

===={{series|Advanced Generation}}====
=====Hoenn=====
In ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]'', {{an|May}} was introduced to a Nurse Joy and learned about Pokémon Centers. Nurse Joy was then thrown in a storage room by [[Team Magma]] but escape in the vents.

In ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', Nurse Joy was in charge of handing out the Hoenn starter Pokémon to new Trainers.

{{OBP|Max|AG049}} was an assistant of Nurse Joy in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out!]]''. When Max and another [[Max]] were fighting, Nurse Joy broke them up.

In ''[[AG087|Crazy as a Lunatone]]'', a Nurse Joy was possessed by a {{p|Lunatone}} in [[Volley Town]]. Unlike the other Nurse Joys, she didn't allow Ash and his friends to stay in a room for the night. Later, Nurse Joy went back to normal when Lunatone collapsed after using {{m|Psychic}}. Since Lunatone's condition became bad, Nurse Joy, with the help of the group, took Lunatone to [[Camerupt Point]].

In ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]'', a Nurse Joy ran her Pokémon Center on the snowy part of [[Izabe Island]]. A {{AP|Snorunt}} would come by that particular Pokémon Center and take things from visitors. When Ash was in a snow cave, Nurse Joy and the others came by to pick him up. However, before Ash could reunite with Nurse Joy and the others, Team Rocket interrupted them by catching Pikachu and Snorunt. Snorunt was able to escape and Nurse Joy thought of a plan to get Pikachu back which involved Ash throwing Snorunt at Team Rocket's balloon.

=====Kanto Battle Frontier=====
{{incomplete|section|roles need expanding}}
In ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out!]]'', Nurse Joy took care of [[Ash's Grovyle]] after it battled with a {{p|Tropius}}.

In ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing]]'', Nurse Joy began to get sick. As a result, she was unable to take care of the Pokémon that {{OBP|Matt|AG188}} was Pokésitting. After she felt better, she took care of a {{p|Bagon}} that had a high fever.

===={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}====
{{incomplete|section|role in other episodes}}
Two young Joys, named [[Marnie and Paige]], appeared in ''[[DP028|Drifloon on the Wind]]'', where it was revealed that Joy is the ''surname'' of the family, rather than the given name of each individual woman. Their mother, of course, was an ordinary Nurse Joy.

In ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', a Nurse Joy acted as one of the judges of the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]] along with [[Mr. Sukizo]] and [[Officer Jenny]].

In ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'', the Nurse Joy who runs the [[Neighborly Town]] Pokémon Center was busy taking care of too many Pokémon. For this reason, she would not be able to attend the town's Pokémon Contest and so [[Johanna]] agreed to fill in for her.

===={{series|Best Wishes}}====
[[File:Nurse Joy anime BW.png|thumb|250px|Nurse Joy in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
=====Unova=====
Nurse Joy, like {{Ash}}, received a redesign when the {{series|Best Wishes}} began, as well as a change of clothes. All Nurse Joys in Unova have this new design.

In ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'', Ash learned about the Nurse Joys with the redesigns who were completely different than the ones he saw previously in his travels.

=====Decolore Islands=====
After foiling another one of Team Rocket's plans in ''[[BW124|Danger, Sweet as Honey!]]'', Ash and his friends headed to the [[Pokémon Center]] to have their Pokémon healed. After arriving, Nurse Joy explained that the mountains have many dangerous Pokémon such as {{p|Beedrill}} and {{p|Ursaring}} and noted that it would have been safer to go through the coastline route. After which, Audino informed them that the honey and dessert were ready. Nurse Joy then invited them in and began serving them desserts.

In ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]'', a rather elderly Nurse Joy first appeared overhearing the group's conversation on the mysterious shadow they just saw. Later, she appeared protecting the group from a [[Giant Pokémon|giant]] {{p|Heatmor}} and disappeared along with the Heatmor and the {{a|Illusion|mysterious fog}}. After successfully reaching a rather desolate Pokémon Center and curing [[Iris's Axew]]'s [[Sleep (status condition)|sleep]], the group encountered her again where she revealed herself to be an older Nurse Joy tasked with the special duty of investigating established Pokémon Centers. She explained that she had been receiving reports of a Pokémon Center operating illegally on the island, which is why she was deployed to investigate. When {{p|Zoroark}} created an illusion of the past and explained the reasons behind illegally keeping the Pokémon Center open all this time, a moved Nurse Joy agreed to keep the Center running for the wild Pokémon and asks for Zoroark's assistance in doing so, to which it happily agrees. Later, she and the Illusion Fox Pokémon bid farewell to the group as they set off on their new adventure.

A Nurse Joy living on [[Torom Island]] appeared in ''[[BW128|To Catch a Rotom!]]''. She explained that the {{p|Rotom}} on the island find the local power plant's electricity delicious, so the lights were always flickering on and off. In addition, the island's {{p|Rotom}} used to play pranks on the people of the island, so the locals created a playground of electrical devices where the Rotom could play without bothering anyone. {{an|Professor Oak}} then decided to go with Ash and his friends to this electrical playground, where they hoped to see a Rotom.

In ''[[BW133|Capacia Island UFO!]]'', Nurse Joy first appeared with her Audino, greeting Ash, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} upon their arrival in the Pokémon Center. Next morning, as Ash looked for help after seeing Iris, Axew and Cilan's faces turned odd, she revealed her face to have turned odd as well, much to his horror. She is then seen gathering the townspeople along with Audino and [[Officer Jenny]] to listen to what {{p|Beheeyem}} has to say.

In ''[[BW138|Go, Go Gogoat!]]'', Nurse Joy participated in [[Alexa]]'s recording. She explained how the latest equipment functioned at twice the normal speed and allowed her to repair any equipment or medicine she might need for a Pokémon's treatment. She was then seen carrying Ash and {{ashfr}}'s Poké Balls for a thorough inspection of their Pokémon.

===={{series|XY}}====
She received another redesign at the beginning of the {{series|XY}}.

In ''[[XY021|A Pokévision of Things to Come!]]'', Nurse Joy starred in a [[Pokévision]] video with her {{TP|Nurse Joy|Wigglytuff}} where they made it to the top 10.

In ''[[XY046|The Clumsy Crier Quiets the Chaos!]]'', Nurse Joy dealt with a clumsy Wigglytuff. As a result of a {{p|Salamence}} going on a rampage, she had to deal with many injured Pokémon, including a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}'s {{p|Teddiursa}}. Nurse Joy told a tale to the group about how Wigglytuff became her helpers in the [[Kalos]] region. Team Rocket came by and stole Pikachu and Wigglytuff. They accidentally wake up the same Salamence from before. Nurse Joy and the group came by to retrieve Pikachu and Wigglytuff. Nurse Joy attempted to calm Salamence but it attacked with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Wigglytuff {{m|protect}}ed her from Salamence's attack, retelling the tale that another Wigglytuff did with the {{p|Flygon}}. Wigglytuff was able to calm Salamence and Salamence managed to defeat Team Rocket with {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

In ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', Nurse Joy searched for a Mega Stone for her Audino. While doing so, her leg became stuck in a fissure. She was unable to get out until Ash and his friends found her stuck there. Using {{an|Clemont}}'s [[List of Clemont's inventions|Aipom Arm]], the group was able to get Nurse Joy out of the fissure. As a reward, she took the group to the Pokémon Center she worked in. Inside, an Audino she was working with did not get along with her as she left without telling it where she was going. When a Trainer was rushing in with an injured {{p|Makuhita}}, both Nurse Joy and Audino put aside their differences and treated the Makuhita right away, only to go back to fighting again. Nurse Joy revealed that their fighting occurred ever since the [[Head Nurse]] put Audino with her. Outside, Team Rocket broke in the Pokémon Center and stole all the Poké Balls. Nurse Joy took on Team Rocket with Audino by Mega Evolving it. After using Mega Audino's {{m|Heal Pulse}}, Ash was able to defeat Team Rocket with Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. As a result, Nurse Joy and Audino both got along with each other.

===={{series|Sun & Moon}}====
Nurse Joy received another redesign for the {{series|Sun & Moon}}. She made her debut in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]''. In the [[Alola]] region, her assistants are {{p|Comfey}} and {{TP|Nurse Joy|Blissey}}. She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM005|Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!]]'', where she was seen taking care of [[Lana's Popplio]] after it had been attacked by some {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s.

===Character===
Nurse Joy is not a single entity. Rather, there are many Joys who work as nurses across the various regions of the [[Pokémon world]]. As a rule, Nurse Joys are kind, earnest, honest Pokémon nurses who take care of sick and injured Pokémon, but will confront a [[Pokémon Trainer]] if they are not properly caring for their Pokémon.

Nurse Joys are all extremely similar-looking relatives. They are not entirely identical, though aside from themselves, it seems that {{an|Brock}} is the only one who can tell them apart. However, each Nurse Joy will have a different color cross on her hat that indicates which location she works at. The trait of a family made up of nearly identical members is also shared by [[Officer Jenny]], [[Don George]] and [[Porter]].
[[File:Marnie and Paige.png|thumb|left|220px|Two young Joys named [[Marnie and Paige]]]]
There are several notable Nurse Joys who appear vastly different from the others. A Nurse Joy acts as the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|Pokémon League inspector]] in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', her first appearance as anything but an ordinary Nurse Joy. Another Nurse Joy living in the [[Orange Archipelago]] has made her career instead as an archaeologist, leading an expedition to [[Fukuhara Island No. 4]] in ''[[EP089|Shell Shock]]''. A muscle-bound, kayak-paddling Nurse Joy who also lives in the archipelago was featured, along with her befriended {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Magikarp}}, in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''. Other Nurse Joys living on the islands have a noticeably darker skin tone than their mainland counterparts, likely due to living in a more tropical region. In ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]'', a Nurse Joy appears as a Pokémon Center investigator, tasked with the investigation of illegally operating Pokémon Centers. Not unlike the Pokémon League inspector Nurse Joy, her first appearance did not allude to her true identity, and she was visibly older when she finally revealed herself.

Although there are many exceptions, Nurse Joy will generally have {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and the [[Orange Archipelago]], {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} in [[Unova]] and the [[Decolore Islands]], and {{TP|Nurse Joy|Wigglytuff}} in [[Kalos]] to assist her. Chansey's [[evolution]] introduced in [[Generation II]], {{p|Blissey}}, also appears on occasion.

Nurse Joys give out [[starter Pokémon]] to Trainers in towns or cities without [[Pokémon Professor]]s, such as [[Slateport City]]. Adhering to their role as government workers, they are also inspectors for the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]], grading Pokémon Gyms.

Nurse Joys also judge [[Pokémon Contest]]s and the [[Grand Festival]]s. This makes them not just good nurses, but good judges as well.

==Trivia==
[[File:Nurse Joy photo.png|thumb|250px|A photo of the Nurse Joys from Kalos]]
* Nurse Joy, [[Officer Jenny]], and [[Don George]] all have Japanese names that begin with the kana ジ, while their English names all start with the same sound, {{wp|Voiced palato-alveolar affricate|dʒ}}. They also all happen to be part of a large, extended family.
* Every Nurse Joy in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]] can be easily told apart by the color of the cross on their hat, while Nurse Joys in the [[Kalos]] region are told apart by the color of the badge on their lapel. Colors can repeat in different regions, however.

'''Pokémon Theme''' is the opening theme song for the English dub of the first season, [[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]]. It was used from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''. Being featured in 79 episodes, it is the most-used dub opening theme. The opening animation is composed of clips from the first Japanese opening, [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]], and episode clips from the [[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]] season. It was written and produced by [[John Loeffler]]. The lead vocal was sung by [[Jason Paige]].

The song was played at the end of the VHS ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]''. A full version of the song is available on the [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]] and {{OBP|Pokémon X|CD}} audio CDs, and includes a second verse not usually heard in the show. This version is also featured in the episodes of the anime ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'' and once again in ''[[EP080|Friends To The End]]''. Another full version sung by {{wp|Billy Crawford}} was the theme played during the opening credits of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', and is the first track on the [[Pokémon the First Movie (soundtrack)|movie's soundtrack]].

Pokémon Theme was later used as the first verse of [[Born to Be a Winner]], a later opening theme.

A [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub OP 17|remixed version]] titled '''Pokémon Theme (Version XY)''' is the opening theme song for the season [[S17|Pokémon the Series: XY]]. It was used from ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' to ''[[XY049|Bonnie for the Defense!]]''. The opening animation is composed of clips from the first {{series|XY}} Japanese opening, [[V (Volt)]]. A full-length version is used as the opening song of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

An orchestral version of the song was performed live at the [[Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions]] event on August 15, 2014.

A Pokemon Theme titled '''Pokémon Theme (Gotta' Catch em' All)''' was played as the opening theme of [[M20|Pokémon: I Choose You!]]

==Opening animation: Dub OP 1==
===Synopsis===
The clip begins with {{p|Mewtwo}} and a shining {{p|Mew}} floating in space, as the camera focuses on Earth, while the sun starts to rise. The next scene shows {{Ash}} alone in a stadium. After that, a {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{DL|Giselle|Cubone}} and {{AP|Pidgeotto}} are shown quickly, before changing to a {{AP|Bulbasaur}} being caught, to which Ash snaps excitedly. Shortly afterwards, the camera shows a {{AP|Haunter}} using {{m|Lick}} on {{AP|Charmander}}, paralyzing him.

Ash then flips his hat backwards and throws a [[Poké Ball]] to the camera. In the following scene, Ash can be seen running along with his {{AP|Pikachu}}, an {{p|Arcanine}} and a {{p|Rapidash}}, who then jumps to the skies, disappearing between the [[Legendary birds]], who are flying around. Then, a short clip of a {{DL|A.J.|Sandshrew}} unrolling itself, a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} and Charmander is shown, followed by Ash and Pikachu sitting on a {{p|Lapras}}, as they watch a {{p|Gyarados}} jumping out of the water, and a {{p|Dragonair}} jumping in. After that, a Poké Ball is seen trapping [[Ash's Caterpie|a Pokémon]] who has turned into red energy.

A battle between Pikachu and {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} is seen, with the former dodging a {{m|Body Slam}} of the latter; and then, a {{AP|Caterpie}} bracing for an {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}' and a {{TP|James|Koffing}}'s incoming attack. In the next scene, Ash is seen hugging his Pikachu, followed by a giant {{p|Tentacruel}} attacking a building. Ash then is seen holding a Poké Ball; followed by an {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Later, Ash appears to be looking at the screen, when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} appear on either side of him, followed by [[Jessie]] and [[James]] rising up in front of them. Koffing, {{MTR}} and Ekans jump up next, followed by {{Gary}} holding a Poké Ball.

The camera then runs across {{p|Charizard}} while using {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{p|Blastoise}} while using {{m|Hydro Pump}} and {{p|Venusaur}}; before Pikachu runs between Ash and a {{tc|Lass}} and jumps. The next scene introduces {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Delia Ketchum]], [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]], as they nod, the camera then shows a giant Charizard using Flamethrower, and Ash and {{ashfr}} hide behind a boulder, later, a Squirtle is seen running towards Ash, followed by a hug.

The camera does a close-up on Pikachu, and subsequently zooms out, showing Pikachu standing on a Pidgeotto, a {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} holding a Squirtle, and a {{AP|Butterfree}} holding Bulbasaur. The last scene then shows up, on which Ash raises his feet and throws the Poké Ball to the screen, much like a {{wp|Pitcher|Baseball pitcher}}, followed by a spinning Poké Ball and the Pokémon logo.

[[File:OPJ01 error 1.png|thumb|220px|Meowth's missing fang]]
* Sheet music for this song was included in [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master: Recorder Fun!]], the {{book|Pokémon 2.B.A. Master|Pokémon 2.B.A. Master piano book}} and [[Pokémon Five-Finger Piano]].
* This is one of the songs featured in the American release of {{smw|Donkey Konga}}.
* This song was included on the [[Exclusive Target Mix!]] and [[Exclusive Toys R Us Mix!]] CDs.
* This song uses {{wp|common meter}}.
* Moltres is the only one of the [[Legendary birds]] that does not make an appearance in the opening. The footage from Aim to Be A Pokémon Master where it appeared was cut out.
* The first "Pokémon" sung after the guitar solo in the full version has different backing vocals added to it. This can be heard more clearly in the full instrumental version.
* The song was played on BBC Radio One's 2011 Christmas special.
* The singer of the Danish version, Michael Elo, was also the original Danish voice of Professor Oak.
* Xander Mobus, the announcer of [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], sang the song upon request but got worn out after the first verse.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQPO-5WjpFU</ref>
* The song was number 1666 during the 2015 Top2000 on Radio 2 in the Netherlands.<ref>http://www.nporadio2.nl/song/48456/gotta-catch-m-all-pokemon-theme-song</ref>
** It was placed on in the Top2000 again in 2016. This time placing on number 232, 1434 places higher than the previous year. <ref>http://www.nporadio2.nl/song/48456/gotta-catch-m-all-pokemon-theme-song</ref>

====Errors====
* When {{MTR}}, [[Jessie's Arbok|Ekans]], and [[James's Weezing|Koffing]] jump onscreen, Meowth's right fang disappears for a split second.
* Several official sources (including lyric booklets from music CDs and closed captions in the anime) mis-transcribe the lyrics as "Each Pokémon to understand the power that's inside." [[John Loeffler]] has stated that the intended lyric is "teach", not "each".<ref name="teach"/>

===Synopsis===
A thick mist clears and Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie are shown standing on a hill. Ash and Pikachu are shown while the scene splits diagonally, with the other half showing Ash and Pikachu eating sandwiches. The next scene shows Serena while the scene splits diagonally, with the other half showing Serena and her Fennekin while she chooses between two hats. She throws the red hat away and wears the pink hat. Clemont and Bonnie are then shown and the scene splits diagonally, with the other half showing Clemont fixing one of his inventions while Bonnie chases after Chespin and Dedenne. His invention explodes and Bonnie lies on the floor. 
The [[Team Rocket trio]] are on their balloon, holding binoculars. Meowth accidentally falls and Jessie and James try to grab him. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} comes out of its [[Poké Ball]] and the trio falls out of their balloon. Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}}. Chespin uses {{m|Pin Missile}}, while Clemont instructs Bunnelby to use {{m|Dig}}. Bonnie jumps for joy while Dedenne uses {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Serena is shown while Fennekin uses {{m|Ember}}. Ash is then shown while Froakie shoots {{m|Water Pulse}}, and Fletchling uses {{m|Steel Wing}}. Pikachu finally uses {{m|Electro Ball}}. Lucario is (briefly) seen [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. Ash and his friends are running outside a restaurant. 

The "Pokémon Gotta catch 'em all!" logo is shown while the following scenes are in the background (the logo is not present in certain international versions). Two Vivillon and three Swanna are flying in the sky near a grape tree. A school of Luvdisc, a school of Remoraid, a Gorebyss, Octillery and Mantyke are swimming in the ocean. Two Furret are in a garden of flowers while four Swanna fly in the sky. A town near the pier is drizzling. A Parasol Lady, a lady with a female Meowstic, and a Quagsire holding a leaf to shield itself from the rain are in the town as well. Three Wooper and a Ducklett are on the pier. A Lotad and a Lombre are in the water, while a Magikarp leaps out of the water. Several Pidgey soar into the sky. The "Gotta catch 'em all!" slogan disappears, and "the Series XY" appears below the "Pokémon" logo.

===Trivia===
* When the Lucario is Mega Evolving, Lucario cannot be clearly seen, although it can be partly seen in a single frame of the shot. The Mega Evolution logo can be clearly seen, though.
* Although the switch to widescreen occurred [[DP121|over 200 episodes ago]], this is the first dub opening that features the intro credits outside of a 4:3 ratio. This was done because before this point, many networks still cropped the 16:9 episodes to a 4:3 ratio.
* The instrumental version that is used in the end credits uses a different instrumentation from the main lyrical version.
* There is an extended version of the song, but it is only heard in the dub of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.
** The vocals were removed in the initial television airings of the movie.
* An instrumental version of this song was used in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.
* Despite the amount of companies [[:Category:Pokémon around the world|around the globe]] changing their dubbing staff or dubbing company altogether, which leads into inconsistencies and errors within the different translations of the [[Pokémon anime]], all of the dub lyrics of this song are consistent with their respective [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub OP 1|season 1 counterpart]] from each language.
** The only exception to this is the [[Pokémon in Russia|Russian version]], as its current dub (which picked up from [[S10|season 10]]) is completely unaffiliated with the original one (which ceased midway through [[S02|season 2]]).
** While the TV version only includes the first verse of the original song and skips the second, the lyrics in the [[Pokémon in Denmark|Danish version]] were altered to commingle the first two verses of the original song into one instead. The lyrics from the original song were not restored for the movie version; instead, the first verse was kept as-is from the TV version, and the second verse was re-translated.
** The {{pmin|Italy|Italian}} dub featured [[Pokémon (song)|a different, original song]] as the first season opening, though a translation of the Pokémon Theme was made for [[M01|the first movie]]. Despite this, a new translation was made years later for re-runs, the lyrics of which were also used for the XY version.
** In the {{pmin|Greece|Greek}} dub, early intro themes were kept in English. For the XY intro, the lyrics were taken from the ''[[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]]'' soundtrack released in Greece, despite said CD being completely unaffiliated with the actual Greek dub of the anime.

====Errors====
* During the scene of a rainy town, a male {{p|Meowstic}} is miscolored as a female Meowstic.

[[File:Michele Knotz.jpg|thumb|220px|right|Michele Knotz]]
'''Michele Knotz''' (born October 27 in New Jersey) is an American voice actress for the English dub of the [[Pokémon anime]]. She was the winner of the 2003 Anime Idol voice acting contest held at the now-defunct {{wp|Big Apple Anime Fest}} convention. The first runner up, [[Hilary Thomas]], also provides voices for the [[The Pokémon Company International|TPCi]] dub.

Her first name is often misspelled as '''Michelle'''.

==Pokémon roles==
Knotz started her Pokémon career with ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' where she played the roles of May, Jessie, Misty and Nurse Joy. She has since voiced several characters and Pokémon, but Jessie and May remain her most prominent roles. Notable Pokémon she voices include [[May's Beautifly]] and [[May's Squirtle|Squirtle]] in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, [[Dawn's Piplup]] in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, as well as [[Ash's Snivy]] and [[Jessie's Woobat]] in the {{series|Best Wishes}}.

It premiered with Japanese vocals and French subtitles at {{wp|Japan Expo}} on July 6, 2017. It was released in Japan on July 15, 2017, and received a limited release in North American, South American, and European theaters starting on November 5, 2017, and in Australia and New Zealand starting on November 11, 2017. It will premiere on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Disney XD}} on November 25, 2017 as part of a marathon including ''[[SM041|Mounting an Electrifying Charge!]]'' and ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.

It was first revealed in a teaser trailer that aired on [[Oha Suta]] in Japan on December 15, 2016. The full trailer was later released on March 2, 2017. A new trailer was released on April 8, 2017, officially revealing {{p|Marshadow}} to have a role in the film.

In a departure from the previous movies, this movie is a loose retelling of Ash's original journey through the [[Kanto]] region, in celebration of the Pokémon anime's 20th anniversary.

==Blurb==

Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town, is 10 years old, which means he’s now old enough to become a Pokémon Trainer. Ash dreams big about the adventures he will experience after receiving his first Pokémon from Professor Oak... Yet, on the morning of his birthday, he sleeps in and is late at the Professor’s laboratory. Unfortunately, almost all the Pokémon are already gone. The only one left is Pikachu, and he doesn’t seem to like Ash much. ("You don’t like me?" Ash asks. "I like you a lot!") But the bond between the two will get stronger and stronger, and, on the first day of their journey, they see the Legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh fly over them and they find one of its feathers. Then Ash and Pikachu promise each other: "Someday, we will set on a journey to find this Pokémon!"

In their journey to achieve Ash’s dream of becoming a Pokémon Master, he meets other Trainers, Sorrel and Verity, and Ash hears for the first time about Ho-Oh’s legend: "The rainbow feather will show you the way to Ho-Oh, and the one to follow it will become the Hero of the Legend." Followed closely by the Mythical Pokémon Marshadow, Ash goes to Mount Tensei to fight his powerful rival. Will Ash and Pikachu reach the top of the mountain and honor the promise they made when starting their journey? The adventure only begins!

==Manga adaptations==
{{main|Pocket Monsters the Movie: I Choose You! Remix}}
{{main|Pocket Monsters the Movie: I Choose You! (manga)}}
A [[Pocket Monsters the Movie: I Choose You! (one-shot)|short promotion manga]] was included with the May 2017 issue of [[CoroCoro]]. Another tie-in manga called ''[[Get Fired Up, Marshadow!]]'' was included with the July 2017 issue of CoroCoro, this manga takes place before Marshadow meets Ash and his friends in the movie. An third manga called ''[[The Rainbow Hero]]'' was included with the August 2017 issue of CoroCoro. These three promotion manga were collected into ''[[Pocket Monsters the Movie: I Choose You! Remix]]'' together with ''[[Pikachu and Satoshi's Hat]]''.

A [[Pocket Monsters the Movie: I Choose You! (manga)|separate manga adaptation]] started serializing on July 2, 2017 in MangaONE, a Japanese manga smartphone app by Shogakukan.

==Trivia==
* This is the first Pokémon movie not to take place during the timeframe of the anime series airing at the time, although the one-shot manga indicates it was a flashback that occurred after Ash won the final [[island challenge|trial]] with Pikachu.
** Because of this, this is also the first movie to feature no human characters introduced in the anime series airing at the time of the movie.
* As of this movie, all of the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] from [[Generation II]] have had a starring role in a Pokémon movie.
* This is Professor Oak's first appearance in a movie since the [[M04|fourth movie]] and Delia's first movie appearance since the [[M11|eleventh movie]].
* This is the first movie to feature a {{pkmn2|released|Pokémon release}}, with Ash releasing his {{AP|Butterfree}} after saving the [[Pink Butterfree]].
* This is {{Gary}}'s first physical appearance since ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', over seven years ago.
* Movie editor [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] revealed some trivia about the movie in an interview:
** The movie is set in a parallel world that is split off from the main series, showing what would have happened had Ash received the [[Silver and Rainbow Wings|Rainbow Wing]] from {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
** The number of Spearow that chase Ash was increased twenty-fold, from fifty to one thousand.
** The Ash in this movie is more fashionable than the Ash from the series and influenced by the design created by [[Ken Sugimori]].
** [[Shōko Nakagawa]] was responsible for being the symbol of twenty years of Pokémon, with the role of Nurse Joy. She grew up playing the [[Generation I|first generation of games]], which is why she represents [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary]] by voice acting an "older sister" kind of role in the movie.
** Ash does not age. Yuyama said that "time has not passed since the start of the journey. Ash is eternally 10 years old".
** The {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from the opening scene are [[Neesha]] and [[Corey]] from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
* This movie features all of Ash's traveling companions prior to the {{series|Sun & Moon}} making cameo appearances during the ending credits, making it the largest amount of appearances of Ash's friends to date.
* Although Pikachu [[EP017|has had his statements translated via subtitles before]], this is the first time Pikachu actually [[Talking Pokémon|talked]].

===Differences from the main series===
* [[Cross]] is {{AP|Charmander}}'s [[original Trainer]] instead of [[Damian]].
* {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} do not appear except in cameos.
* In the beginning of the film, {{Ash}} is watching a battle between Neesha and Corey on TV instead of the two unidentified Trainers from the first episode.
** Ash is watching the battle in his whole outfit in the original episode, but in the movie, he is just wearing his t-shirt and pants without his hat, jacket, or gloves.
* The Pokémon-themed merchandise in Ash's room are completely different.
* The poster of the [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] in Ash's room are displayed differently with {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Bulbasaur}} being in different poses and positions. The background of the poster is slightly different as well.
* {{Delia}} wakes Ash up instead of Ash waking himself up.
* Ash runs to Professor Oak's lab barefoot with his pajamas, unlike the original episode where he is wearing shoes with his pajamas.
* {{Gary}} only makes a brief cameo in the beginning of the film. His {{TP|Gary|cheerleaders}} don't make an appearance in the film either, nor do his crowd of supporters.
* The Pokémon weren't in their Poké Balls sitting on a pedestal like in the original episode. Instead, they were displayed on a tray with beds and bowls for each of the {{pkmn2|starter}}s before the new Trainers picked them out.
* The Trainers who received their starter Pokémon from Professor Oak on the day Ash met Pikachu are shown as Gary, {{an|Tierno}}, and {{OBP|Marina|EP091}}. Notably, Tierno is shown in different clothing than his usual design and chooses {{p|Charmander}} instead of Squirtle.
* A map of the [[Unova]] [[region]] is visible in the background of a scene at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].
* Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}'s first encounter is different from the series. In the main series, {{an|Professor Oak}} sends out Pikachu from his Poké Ball. In the movie, Pikachu was already wandering around in Professor Oak's lab before Ash finds him.
* Delia never enters Professor Oak's lab in the original episode. Also, Delia arrives alone, while in the episode, a group of supporters arrived to see Ash off.
* Ash changes into his clothes in Oak's lab instead of changing shortly after setting out on his journey.
* When Ash is dragging Pikachu out of [[Pallet Town]], he isn't wearing pink rubber gloves, as he wasn't given any rubber gloves in the movie.
* As noted above, the number of Spearow that attack Ash and Pikachu are greatly increased.
* Ash doesn't steal Misty's (or anyone's) [[Bicycle|bike]] to escape the flock of Spearow, and tries to get away entirely on foot.
* After Pikachu defeats the flock of Spearow, the sky is sunny again after the rain clears up in the original episode. In the movie, it's a sunset instead.
* Ash doesn't get a Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh in the original episode.
* [[Erika]] was the third [[Gym Leader]] encountered rather then the fifth one, while the first two Gym Leaders were encountered off-screen.
* Ash doesn't {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} any of his Pokémon from the main series other than Caterpie and Charmander.
* Charmander isn't holding a leaf while being in the rain, nor is he attacked by a flock of Spearow.
* Instead of taking Charmander to Nurse Joy, Ash takes him to a cave to heal him himself.
* {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} [[Evolution|evolve]] in scenarios different from the original series:
** {{AP|Caterpie}} evolves into {{p|Metapod}} from battling a {{p|Pinsir}} rather than from a battle against {{TRT}} and then evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} during a fight with a pack of {{p|Primeape}} instead of a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}}.
*** In the original series, Caterpie's Evolution process was similar to a real-life caterpillar's life cycle, going through metamorphosis and then emerging from its cocoon. In the movie, it is shown to evolve like any other Pokémon similar to how they do in later episodes.
** {{AP|Charmander}} evolves into a {{p|Charmeleon}} from battling a {{p|Jigglypuff}} instead of stopping a herd of {{p|Exeggutor}} and then evolves into a {{p|Charizard}} during a rematch against Cross and his {{p|Incineroar}} instead of saving Ash from a {{p|Aerodactyl}}.
* {{AP|Charmeleon}} (and later Charizard) consistently stays [[Obedience|obedient]] to Ash after evolving. In the main series, Charizard rarely obeyed Ash until ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''.
* Pikachu knows {{m|Iron Tail}}, a move he doesn't learn until the {{series|Advanced Generation}}.

'''Pokémon Theme''' is the opening theme song for the English dub of the first season, [[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]]. It was used from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''. Being featured in 79 episodes, it is the most-used dub opening theme. The opening animation is composed of clips from the first Japanese opening, [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]], and episode clips from the [[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]] season. It was written and produced by [[John Loeffler]]. The lead vocal was sung by [[Jason Paige]].

The song was played at the end of the VHS ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]''. A full version of the song is available on the [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]] and {{OBP|Pokémon X|CD}} audio CDs, and includes a second verse not usually heard in the show. This version is also featured in the episodes of the anime ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'' and once again in ''[[EP080|Friends To The End]]''. Another full version sung by {{wp|Billy Crawford}} was the theme played during the opening credits of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', and is the first track on the [[Pokémon the First Movie (soundtrack)|movie's soundtrack]].

Pokémon Theme was later used as the first verse of [[Born to Be a Winner]], a later opening theme.

A [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub OP 17|remixed version]] titled '''Pokémon Theme (Version XY)''' is the opening theme song for the season [[S17|Pokémon the Series: XY]]. It was used from ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' to ''[[XY049|Bonnie for the Defense!]]''. The opening animation is composed of clips from the first {{series|XY}} Japanese opening, [[V (Volt)]]. A full-length version is used as the opening song of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

An orchestral version of the song was performed live at the [[Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions]] event on August 15, 2014.

==Opening animation: Dub OP 1==
===Synopsis===
The clip begins with {{p|Mewtwo}} and a shining {{p|Mew}} floating in space, as the camera focuses on Earth, while the sun starts to rise. The next scene shows {{Ash}} alone in a stadium. After that, a {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{DL|Giselle|Cubone}} and {{AP|Pidgeotto}} are shown quickly, before changing to a {{AP|Bulbasaur}} being caught, to which Ash snaps excitedly. Shortly afterwards, the camera shows a {{AP|Haunter}} using {{m|Lick}} on {{AP|Charmander}}, paralyzing him.

Ash then flips his hat backwards and throws a [[Poké Ball]] to the camera. In the following scene, Ash can be seen running along with his {{AP|Pikachu}}, an {{p|Arcanine}} and a {{p|Rapidash}}, who then jumps to the skies, disappearing between the [[Legendary birds]], who are flying around. Then, a short clip of a {{DL|A.J.|Sandshrew}} unrolling itself, a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} and Charmander is shown, followed by Ash and Pikachu sitting on a {{p|Lapras}}, as they watch a {{p|Gyarados}} jumping out of the water, and a {{p|Dragonair}} jumping in. After that, a Poké Ball is seen trapping [[Ash's Caterpie|a Pokémon]] who has turned into red energy.

A battle between Pikachu and {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} is seen, with the former dodging a {{m|Body Slam}} of the latter; and then, a {{AP|Caterpie}} bracing for an {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}' and a {{TP|James|Koffing}}'s incoming attack. In the next scene, Ash is seen hugging his Pikachu, followed by a giant {{p|Tentacruel}} attacking a building. Ash then is seen holding a Poké Ball; followed by an {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Later, Ash appears to be looking at the screen, when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} appear on either side of him, followed by [[Jessie]] and [[James]] rising up in front of them. Koffing, {{MTR}} and Ekans jump up next, followed by {{Gary}} holding a Poké Ball.

The camera then runs across {{p|Charizard}} while using {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{p|Blastoise}} while using {{m|Hydro Pump}} and {{p|Venusaur}}; before Pikachu runs between Ash and a {{tc|Lass}} and jumps. The next scene introduces {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Delia Ketchum]], [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]], as they nod, the camera then shows a giant Charizard using Flamethrower, and Ash and {{ashfr}} hide behind a boulder, later, a Squirtle is seen running towards Ash, followed by a hug.

The camera does a close-up on Pikachu, and subsequently zooms out, showing Pikachu standing on a Pidgeotto, a {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} holding a Squirtle, and a {{AP|Butterfree}} holding Bulbasaur. The last scene then shows up, on which Ash raises his feet and throws the Poké Ball to the screen, much like a {{wp|Pitcher|Baseball pitcher}}, followed by a spinning Poké Ball and the Pokémon logo.

===Trivia===
[[File:OPJ01 error 1.png|thumb|220px|Meowth's missing fang]]
* Sheet music for this song was included in [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master: Recorder Fun!]], the {{book|Pokémon 2.B.A. Master|Pokémon 2.B.A. Master piano book}} and [[Pokémon Five-Finger Piano]].
* This is one of the songs featured in the American release of {{smw|Donkey Konga}}.
* This song was included on the [[Exclusive Target Mix!]] and [[Exclusive Toys R Us Mix!]] CDs.
* This song uses {{wp|common meter}}.
* Moltres is the only one of the [[Legendary birds]] that does not make an appearance in the opening. The footage from Aim to Be A Pokémon Master where it appeared was cut out.
* The first "Pokémon" sung after the guitar solo in the full version has different backing vocals added to it. This can be heard more clearly in the full instrumental version.
* The song was played on BBC Radio One's 2011 Christmas special.
* The singer of the Danish version, Michael Elo, was also the original Danish voice of Professor Oak.
* Xander Mobus, the announcer of [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], sang the song upon request but got worn out after the first verse.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQPO-5WjpFU</ref>
* The song was number 1666 during the 2015 Top2000 on Radio 2 in the Netherlands.<ref>http://www.nporadio2.nl/song/48456/gotta-catch-m-all-pokemon-theme-song</ref>
** It was placed on in the Top2000 again in 2016. This time placing on number 232, 1434 places higher than the previous year. <ref>http://www.nporadio2.nl/song/48456/gotta-catch-m-all-pokemon-theme-song</ref>

====Errors====
* When {{MTR}}, [[Jessie's Arbok|Ekans]], and [[James's Weezing|Koffing]] jump onscreen, Meowth's right fang disappears for a split second.
* Several official sources (including lyric booklets from music CDs and closed captions in the anime) mis-transcribe the lyrics as "Each Pokémon to understand the power that's inside." [[John Loeffler]] has stated that the intended lyric is "teach", not "each".<ref name="teach"/>

===Synopsis===
A thick mist clears and Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie are shown standing on a hill. Ash and Pikachu are shown while the scene splits diagonally, with the other half showing Ash and Pikachu eating sandwiches. The next scene shows Serena while the scene splits diagonally, with the other half showing Serena and her Fennekin while she chooses between two hats. She throws the red hat away and wears the pink hat. Clemont and Bonnie are then shown and the scene splits diagonally, with the other half showing Clemont fixing one of his inventions while Bonnie chases after Chespin and Dedenne. His invention explodes and Bonnie lies on the floor. 
The [[Team Rocket trio]] are on their balloon, holding binoculars. Meowth accidentally falls and Jessie and James try to grab him. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} comes out of its [[Poké Ball]] and the trio falls out of their balloon. Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}}. Chespin uses {{m|Pin Missile}}, while Clemont instructs Bunnelby to use {{m|Dig}}. Bonnie jumps for joy while Dedenne uses {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Serena is shown while Fennekin uses {{m|Ember}}. Ash is then shown while Froakie shoots {{m|Water Pulse}}, and Fletchling uses {{m|Steel Wing}}. Pikachu finally uses {{m|Electro Ball}}. Lucario is (briefly) seen [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. Ash and his friends are running outside a restaurant. 

The "Pokémon Gotta catch 'em all!" logo is shown while the following scenes are in the background (the logo is not present in certain international versions). Two Vivillon and three Swanna are flying in the sky near a grape tree. A school of Luvdisc, a school of Remoraid, a Gorebyss, Octillery and Mantyke are swimming in the ocean. Two Furret are in a garden of flowers while four Swanna fly in the sky. A town near the pier is drizzling. A Parasol Lady, a lady with a female Meowstic, and a Quagsire holding a leaf to shield itself from the rain are in the town as well. Three Wooper and a Ducklett are on the pier. A Lotad and a Lombre are in the water, while a Magikarp leaps out of the water. Several Pidgey soar into the sky. The "Gotta catch 'em all!" slogan disappears, and "the Series XY" appears below the "Pokémon" logo.

===Trivia===
* When the Lucario is Mega Evolving, Lucario cannot be clearly seen, although it can be partly seen in a single frame of the shot. The Mega Evolution logo can be clearly seen, though.
* Although the switch to widescreen occurred [[DP121|over 200 episodes ago]], this is the first dub opening that features the intro credits outside of a 4:3 ratio. This was done because before this point, many networks still cropped the 16:9 episodes to a 4:3 ratio.
* The instrumental version that is used in the end credits uses a different instrumentation from the main lyrical version.
* There is an extended version of the song, but it is only heard in the dub of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.
** The vocals were removed in the initial television airings of the movie.
* An instrumental version of this song was used in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.
* Despite the amount of companies [[:Category:Pokémon around the world|around the globe]] changing their dubbing staff or dubbing company altogether, which leads into inconsistencies and errors within the different translations of the [[Pokémon anime]], all of the dub lyrics of this song are consistent with their respective [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub OP 1|season 1 counterpart]] from each language.
** The only exception to this is the [[Pokémon in Russia|Russian version]], as its current dub (which picked up from [[S10|season 10]]) is completely unaffiliated with the original one (which ceased midway through [[S02|season 2]]).
** While the TV version only includes the first verse of the original song and skips the second, the lyrics in the [[Pokémon in Denmark|Danish version]] were altered to commingle the first two verses of the original song into one instead. The lyrics from the original song were not restored for the movie version; instead, the first verse was kept as-is from the TV version, and the second verse was re-translated.
** The {{pmin|Italy|Italian}} dub featured [[Pokémon (song)|a different, original song]] as the first season opening, though a translation of the Pokémon Theme was made for [[M01|the first movie]]. Despite this, a new translation was made years later for re-runs, the lyrics of which were also used for the XY version.
** In the {{pmin|Greece|Greek}} dub, early intro themes were kept in English. For the XY intro, the lyrics were taken from the ''[[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]]'' soundtrack released in Greece, despite said CD being completely unaffiliated with the actual Greek dub of the anime.

====Errors====
* During the scene of a rainy town, a male {{p|Meowstic}} is miscolored as a female Meowstic.

The opening animation is composed of clips from the first {{series|Sun & Moon}} Japanese opening, [[Alola!!]] and ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', while the ending animation is composed of clips from the first ''Sun & Moon'' series Japanese ending, [[Pose]].

==Lyrics==
''<ab>I could get used to this heat on my skin
I can feel every day, I'm a little bit stronger
I only wish each day was longer

Yeah! We're having fun in the sun (the Alolan sun)
Week after week
It's just like we're on vacation

Yeah! Now our journey's begun,
Friends 'til the end
Number one's our destination

Under the Alolan sun
Pokémon!</ab>''

* This is the first time since [[Unbeatable|Pokémon: Advanced Battle]] that the closing credits have featured animation rather than having text against a black screen. This is also the first time that the closing credits have their own unique animation, rather than using a shortened version of the opening sequence.

==Blurb==

It’s a beautiful day on Melemele Island in the Alola region. Ash and his mom are on vacation there, along with Pikachu and Mimey, and having a great time!

Our hero is thrilled to meet so many new Pokémon, and his exploration leads him to Professor Oak’s cousin Samson, the principal of the Pokémon School. It’s a beautiful, sprawling campus where students work with Pokémon and learn alongside them! As Ash learns more about Alola region tradition from new friends Mallow and Professor Kukui, his interest grows. When vacation is over and his mom heads home, he decides to stay behind and become a Pokémon School student himself!

==Plot==
The episode begins with {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, who are in the middle of enjoying their [[Alola]] [[region]] vacation, riding on a {{p|Sharpedo}}. They speed across and under the water, seeing many wild {{type|Water}} Pokémon, including a {{p|Pyukumuku}} that greets them with a friendly peace sign. After running out of air, they both resurface, but are immediately face-to-face with a wild {{p|Bruxish}}, which surprises Ash and causes him to fall into the water. Ash is relieved to have made it back to the surface, but is soon laughing along with {{an|Lana|a girl}} and her {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} who saw amusement in his reaction. Ash is asked by a woman in charge of the [[Poké Ride|Pokémon Jet Ski]] if he enjoyed it, and she is relieved when he tells her it was fun, thanking the Sharpedo. On the beach, a {{p|Litten}} is relaxing on the sand, washing itself, only to notice Ash and Pikachu racing in its direction. Failing to see the Litten, Ash steps on Litten's tail, annoying it as it hits him with {{m|Ember}} before leaving.

At the hotel, {{Delia}} is relaxing with [[Mimey]], drinking some Pinap Juice. Ash returns to them and tells Delia everything he and Pikachu did, which makes Delia happy to know they had fun. She says they have Mimey to thank for winning them their Alola vacation. Ash remembers them winning, leaving his Pokémon with {{an|Professor Oak}}, and flying to the Alola region. Delia tells them that they should get going, which confuses Ash until she reminds him that Professor Oak asked them to deliver an {{pkmn|Egg}} to his cousin in Alola.

Ash and Delia take a Pokémon Taxi and learn about Ride Pokémon from the driver. Ash remembers the Sharpedo he used earlier and figures out it was a Water Ride Pokémon. Ash then asks Delia where they are taking the egg, to which Delia tells him they're taking it to a place called the [[Pokémon School]]. Mimey then notices some {{Berries}}, informing Delia and they all stop off to take a look. Delia and Mimey are occupied with the berries, so Ash decides to look around and finds a {{p|Grubbin|Pokémon}} with its head sticking out from a hole. Ash crouches down, wondering what its name is, but it gets angry and pinches Ash's nose. After shaking it off, Ash and Pikachu, wanting to catch the Pokémon, give chase as it escapes underground through the town. Delia turns to show Ash the Berries, but notices he has disappeared.

Still chasing after the Pokémon, another {{p|Tapu Koko|strange Pokémon}} darts from tree to tree behind them. After chasing the Pokémon deep into the forest, Ash and Pikachu finally reach the hole in the ground, but find that it is empty. Suddenly, a [[Sitrus Berry]] falls from the sky. Looking up to the sky, Ash wonders where they are and where they were supposed to take the Pokémon egg. The mysterious Pokémon throws another berry down, but it hits something in the bushes. Ash and Pikachu look around the forest and suddenly hear a noise. They continue hearing the noise until they see {{p|Bewear|the Pokémon responsible for the noise}} emerge from the bushes and see it waving at them. It is large and friendly and Ash starts to wave back, calling it cute and approaching it, but his opinion changes immediately once he sees it effortlessly smashing down various tall trees in joy. As the Pokémon then approaches them for a hug, Ash and Pikachu rush off in the opposite direction, but it begins to chase after them, coming close to catching them until it is distracted by the mysterious Pokémon from earlier. Ash and Pikachu, after escaping the rampaging Pokémon, spot a {{p|Charizard}} in the air and decide to follow it. Emerging from the forest, Ash and Pikachu arrive at a area with a huge building. Ash spots a {{an|Lillie|girl}} next to some new Pokémon, so he jumps over the fence and heads towards them, but the girl warns Ash to look out as, unknowingly to Ash, various {{p|Tauros}} being ridden by Trainers head straight for him, but before he can get out of the way, they all crash into him. {{an|Mallow|One Trainer}} orders her Tauros to stop, but it is too late as Ash has been trampled by the Tauros. The girl rushes over to Ash to ask how he is, to which Ash tells her that he is used to Tauros as he has caught {{AP|some|Tauros}} before. As one of the Tauros approaches Ash and the girl, only for the latter to back off in fear. It is revealed by a boy that Lillie is scared of Pokémon and can't touch them. After recognizing the girl who was fishing earlier, Ash is informed that he is at the Pokémon School and is shown around.

As Ash and Mallow are looking around the school, Ash is brought to the principal's office, being mistaken as a new student, but as Ash tries to clear things up, he sees his mother and meets the school's principal, [[Samson Oak]], Professor Oak's cousin. The meeting leaves Ash stunned as he learns of Samson's habit of making jokes using Pokémon names. Inside the office, Ash clears things up with Mallow as Samson calls Professor Oak to tell him he has received the egg safely, to which he thanks Delia. Mallow asks Samson if she can show Ash around the campus and shows Ash to the classroom first. Ash is introduced to the class teacher, [[Professor Kukui]], who welcomes them happily. Ash then hears a roar from outside as he sees a group of strange people gathering.

{{an|Kiawe|A boy}} and his Charizard are approached by a group of people. Ash learns that they're part of a group known as [[Team Skull]], who bully people into battling them. [[Tupp]] makes a deal that the boy can leave if he wins their battle, but if he loses, they will get his Charizard and send out their Pokémon, {{DL|Zipp|Yungoos}}, {{DL|Tupper|Salandit}}, and {{DL|Rapp|Zubat}} to begin their battle, ordering him to tell Charizard to fight. Just then, Ash steps in to confront the group, telling them how unfair the battle is and joins the battle himself, introducing himself to the boy, who introduces himself as Kiawe, but tells Ash he doesn't need any help. As Ash sends in Pikachu, Kiawe sends out his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}, and reveals that it is a Fire and Dragon type, and also a trusted friend of his. The members of Team Skull command their Pokémon to use {{m|Venoshock}}, {{m|Bite}}, and {{m|Leech Life}} respectively, but Pikachu successfully dodges the Venoshock with {{m|Quick Attack}}, as Kiawe comments on Pikachu's speed. The Yungoos and Zubat bite down on Turtonator's shell, them to be attacked by Turtonator's {{m|Shell Trap}}. [[Tupp]]'s Salandit is ordered to use {{m|Flame Burst}}, but Ash tells Pikachu to dodge and use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which connects with the three Salandit, which impresses the students, as well as the mysterious Pokémon watching from a tree. Kiawe tells Ash to leave the rest to him as he powers up his Turtonator using a crystal on his wrist, which allows his Turtonator to use a move known as {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}, which is strong enough to defeat the villain's Pokémon at once, causing them to retreat. Ash asks Kiawe what he just did, but Professor Kukui steps in to explain that they're known as [[Z-Move]]s, which are moves passed down in Alola after completing the [[island challenge]] on the four islands of Alola. Ash gets excited by all the things he has just learned, but suddenly sees a flying Pokémon, and once describing it to the group, they identify the Pokémon as {{p|Tapu Koko}}, the [[guardian deities|guardian]] of [[Melemele Island]].

Later that night, Ash, Delia, Pikachu, and Mimey are enjoying a meal at a restaurant. Delia comments on the food, but Ash is thinking about everything that had happened earlier, which is noticed by Delia as she asks him if there was anything that happened to distract him. Ash then hears a noise echoing and recognizes the Pokémon in a tree, leaving the restaurant and immediately chasing after it. Searching around, he encounters it again, following and meeting it at a viewing point where he remembers it as Tapu Koko receives an object that he recognizes as what Kiawe was wearing. After approval from Tapu Koko, Ash puts the object on his wrist before watching Tapu Koko fly off away from him. Ash then stares at the [[Z-Ring]].

The next day, Ash is at Professor Kukui's house talking to Delia, who is back in [[Pallet Town]], over the video phone. Ash then remembers that he starts his first day of Pokémon School today and hurries off after saying goodbye to Delia. As Ash races up the road with Pikachu, the two of them look out to the ocean before they both have a race to the Pokémon School campus.

==Trivia==
* Starting with this episode, viewers can see an introduction of the main characters and a short overview of the series plot {{DL|Data broadcasting|Plot overview and introduction of the characters|using their remote}} on [[TV Tokyo]].
* [[Alola!!]] replaced {{so|XY&Z}} as the [[List of Japanese opening themes|Japanese opening theme]], while [[Pose]] replaced [[Meowth's Ballad]] as the [[List of Japanese ending themes|Japanese ending theme]].
* This episode marks the first time the Team Rocket trio is absent in the first episode of a region since their debut in the anime.
* This episode marks the first time the region's [[Villainous teams|villainous team]] debuts in the first episode of a new series.
* This episode marks the first time Ash has traveled to the new region prior to the start of a new series.
* This episode marks a distinct change in the appearance of the series. In this case, characters and settings are now being rendered in a softer and more hand-drawn style to allow for more fluid animation.
** Characters are now rendered with longer faces with hair not being as pointed as before, smaller irises (changes that are applied to {{Ash}}, {{Delia}}, and {{an|Professor Oak}}) and no longer have fingernails. Pokémon are now depicted as having fur.
** Also, this show goes back to the frame rate of 24 frames per second, for the first time since the end of the {{series|AG}}.
* Although the move has existed since [[Generation I]], this episode marks the first time that {{m|Leech Life}} is used in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* This episode marks the first mention of {{p|Porygon}} in the anime since its infamous debut in [[EP038]] (excluding the dub-exclusive [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment from ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'').
* {{Ash}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, and [[Ash's Pikachu]] narrate the preview for the [[SM002|next episode]].

* After getting trampled by a herd of Tauros, Ash references his {{AP|30 Tauros|Tauros}}.
* This is the only episode so far to feature {{an|Bewear}} without {{TRT}}.
* This is [[Kayzie Rogers]]'s final episode before her retirement voicing Mimey.
* Ash reads the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] in the dub.
* This is the first episode to feature music from ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.

===Airing trivia===
* During the first airing on TV Tokyo as one-hour special, viewers could take part in a [[Media:Keyword quiz SM001 SM002.png|three-characters keyword quiz]], in which ten viewers could win a Nintendo New 3DS XL Pokémon Solgaleo Lunala Black Edition and copies of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. The first character was Z.
* This episode aired as a sneak peek on November 18, 2016, in {{pmin|France}}; November 19, 2016, in {{pmin|Italy}}; November 20, 2016, in {{pmin|Germany}} and {{pmin|Belgium}}; November 26, 2016, in {{pmin|Spain}}; November 27, 2016, in {{pmin|the Netherlands}}; December 5, 2016, in {{pmin|the United States}}; and December 31, 2016, in {{pmin|Canada}} alongside ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' and ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]''.
** Its airdate in France was only one day after its premiere in Japan.
** For these airings, as the [[Under The Alolan Sun|opening theme sequence]] hadn't been completed, a placeholder opening was used, in which the show's title simply flew into view on a black background as the title card background music played. In the ending credits, the anime arrangement of [[Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: Super Music Collection|The Festival in Iki Town]] was used and played on a black background.
* This was the first episode to air in the United States on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Disney XD}}.
** This was also the first episode since ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista!]]'' not to air on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Cartoon Network}}.
* When the Watch Disney XD site and Disney XD app were updated to include episodes from [[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]] on February 11, 2017, the final version of this and the following episode were made available, replacing the special preview previously available through the service.

===Errors===

* When Ash learns about Z-Moves and the island challenge, for a split second Pikachu is missing the red circles on his cheeks.
* When Ash goes helping Kiawe fight Team Skull, both his Japanese line {{tt|「まって！」|”Matte!”}} ("Wait!") and the dubbed line play simultaneously in the English and Italian dubs.
* The flashback to when Mimey won the ticket to Alola was not dubbed in the Russian dub, but was rather left in English.

===Dub edits===
* The Japanese text depicting {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}'s name when {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}} is about to use the move is edited out in the dub.
* In the official debut of this episode's dub, a large portion of the original music is replaced with dub music. However, this was not the case in the preview airing, in which the episode used all of the original music.

==Blurb==

On the way to Snowbelle City, Ash and the others call Professor Sycamore to learn more about Bonnie’s new friend Squishy! Team Rocket gets excited upon hearing that it might be a new kind of Pokémon, and starts hatching a plan...

Later, when Serena and Eevee are rehearsing, a wild Quilladin charges out of the forest and presents Eevee with a Vine Whip in a heart shape, and then a bouquet of flowers. Pancham and Chespin step up to protect their friend, and Quilladin challenges them to battle in an attempt to show off for Eevee!

The battle is soon interrupted when Team Rocket swoops in and grabs Eevee, Dedenne, Squishy, and Bunnelby in a net! Quilladin, Pancham, and Chespin decide to put aside their differences and work together to send the villains blasting off again—and after a wild Flareon catches Quilladin’s attention, it’s happy to part ways with our heroes!

==Plot==
The episode begins with {{Ash}}, {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Serena}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} talking to [[Professor Sycamore]] about [[Squishy]], but he tells them he has never seen a Pokémon like it before, and that if it isn't listed in the [[Pokédex]], then it must be a new species. Ash and {{ashfr}} appear excited about this revelation. To get a better look at Squishy, Professor Sycamore asks Bonnie if she can give it a spin, but she herself spins. Clemont tells her he meant he wanted her to spin Squishy, so she spins Squishy. Even after seeing Squishy from different directions, Professor Sycamore still tells them that he has never seen a Pokémon like it, but says he will do some research of his own about Squishy. A small device is seen on the side of the phone, which is transmitting what is said over the call to a location where {{TRT}} is seen listening to the conversation. After listening in on the conversation, Team Rocket talk about Squishy and associate it with being what Team Flare was after, and plan to capture it for themselves. Back with Ash and his friends, Squishy climbs into Bonnie's bag and makes itself comfortable, which upsets {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} as it tries to force Squishy out of the bag, but it doesn't want to leave. Serena sees this and decides to make something for Bonnie to help.

Ash and his friends are outside in a field as Squishy bounces around and goes to a rock to check with the Cells in the area that it is safe to relax, and once it is safe, Squishy starts to sunbathe as Serena comments on this while sewing Bonnie's bag.

Team Rocket observe Squishy and quickly focus their minds on capturing it. Back with Ash and his friends, Bonnie is busy brushing {{OP|Serena|Eevee}} {{p|Eevee}} as Serena comments on how comfortable Eevee is getting around everyone now, but in the distance, a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Quilladin}} is seen observing the group with hearts in its eyes. Serena announces that she is finished working on Bonnie's bag, saying that she has put an extra pocket so it can hold both Dedenne and Squishy at once, Bonnie then thanks Serena and rushes off to show Squishy the new bag as Clemont thanks Serena for what she did for Bonnie. Bonnie tells Serena that Squishy likes the bag as Dedenne and Squishy look happy with it. With Serena relieved at this, she tells Eevee that they should practice for the Pokémon Showcase as Eevee looks willing to practice.

As Eevee practices dancing Serena says the routine is coming along nicely, but they hear a voice coming closer to them as a Quilladin races over towards them, shocking everyone. The Quilladin then uses {{m|Vine Whip}} in the shape of a heart and aims it towards Eevee, who uses {{m|Protect}} to protect herself as everyone runs towards Eevee to make sure everything is fine. Ash then states that he has never seen the Pokémon before and scans Quilladin with his new [[Pokédex]], stating that Quilladin is the [[evolved]] form of {{p|Chespin}}. Quilladin then uses a heart-shaped Vine Whip attack again, which is blocked by Eevee's Protect, but Bonnie notices the shape of the Vine Whip and Serena says that Quilladin is in love with her Eevee, and as she says this, Eevee looks nervous, as Quilladin goes for a {{m|Rollout}} attack, almost hitting into Eevee. Once the attack is finished, {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} and {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} stand in front of Eevee to protect her from Quilladin, which angers him, causing him to attack the two with another Vine Whip, but Pancham uses {{m|Stone Edge}} and Chespin uses {{m|Pin Missile}} to block the attack, causing an explosion. Quilladin emerges from the smoke using another Rollout attack, taking out both Chespin and Pancham before he reaches Eevee as he stops to admire her, making Eevee uncomfortable, resulting in her using {{m|Double Team}}. This has an entirely different effect on Quilladin who is overwhelmed by how many Eevee copies there are now, causing him to fall over as Eevee's doubles disappear, while Squishy watches from its rock.

Quilladin quickly sits up when he notices what is happening as he thanks Serena for her assistance, Quilladin rushes away through the field as Bonnie thinks he might have given up on Eevee already, but to their surprise, Quilladin returns to them with flowers in his hands to give to Eevee. As Quilladin approaches Eevee with the flowers and presents them to her, Eevee runs away scared to Serena, leaving Quilladin crushed. With Quilladin upset about what had happened, Pancham and Chespin try to help him gain courage again, but Quilladin rudely shoves them away, which annoys the two as they all start a fight. Quilladin then comes up with the idea of battling Pancham as if he wins, he'll end up with Eevee's love by showing her how strong he is, instantly challenging Pancham to battle.

As the battle is about to begin, Quilladin sees Eevee with Clemont's {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} and gets jealous, but Serena assures him that Eevee feels a lot safer when Bunnelby is around. Quilladin becomes more focused to show off in front of Eevee as the battle begins with Quilladin using Vine Whip, and Serena tells Pancham to dodge it as Pancham jumps in the air, followed by Stone Edge. It looks like it is a hit, but Quilladin emerges from the smoke and uses Rollout, heading straight for Pancham as it dodges the first time, but is hit the second. From the air, Pancham is told to use {{m|Dark Pulse}} on Quilladin, causing damage, but not enough as Quilladin is revealed to have blocked the move using {{m|Needle Arm}}. Serena commands Pancham to counter the attack with {{m|Arm Thrust}}, but Pancham is knocked back. As Quilladin looks over at Eevee to see if she's impressed, he notices that Eevee is sleeping, which causes {{p|Quilladin}} to cry and angrily challenge {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} to battle.

With the second battle beginning, Quilladin begins to charge at Chespin, but Clemont orders it to dodge and then use {{m|Tackle}}, which is dodged at the last second. Ash comments on how fast Quilladin is for its size, while Clemont orders Chespin to use Pin Missile. The move doesn't do much damage thanks to Quilladin's hard body. Clemont tells Chespin to keep its distance as Quilladin is about to come in with a Needle Arm attack, as the two {{type|Grass}} Pokémon are impressed by one another's power, Eevee shows no interest, as Squishy continues to watch from the rock, being greeted by an object resembling itself as {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} rushes over to see it too. Dedenne and Squishy start following it as they run past Eevee and Bunnelby, who join them, as the object stops and shoots out a net.

Back to the battle, Chespin is hit by Quilladin's Rollout and Quilladin turns to see what Eevee thought of the battle, but notices she isn't on the rock, and looks up and sees that she is in a net, along with Dedenne, Bunnelby and Squishy, being carried off, as Ash and his friends run over, not knowing what's going on. Once Team Rocket have done their {{motto}}, they say that their mission was a success and make their way off with the Pokémon as [[James]] throws a cube, which explodes, creating a smoke cloud, allowing the trio to escape. Ash then sends out his {{AP|Talonflame}} and {{AP|Noibat}} to go and look for Team Rocket's balloon. Chespin, Pancham and Quilladin then start to fight over who will go and save Eevee, eventually getting into a small fight before Ash tells them to stop and tells everyone they should look as well.

With Eevee, Squishy, Bunnelby and Dedenne, Eevee looks scared, as Bunnelby starts to cut the net with its teeth, catching the attention of the other Pokémon. Bunnelby holds on to Dedenne and Squishy as it jumps into the stream below them, as Eevee follows shortly after. As they land in the water, they all swim to reach the shore as Team Rocket continues to fly off, unaware that the Pokémon have escaped. Team Rocket argue over who gets to name Squishy, [[Jessie]] looks over the edge at the net and notices that the net is empty, James tells {{MTR}} to turn back. Noibat and Talonflame return to Ash as they are unable to find the missing Pokémon, but go back and search once again. Quilladin, Pancham and Chespin all start to fight again, but Ash tells them that they have to work together if they want to help their friends.

Bunnelby, Squishy, Dedenne and Eevee all make their way back, but they encounter Team Rocket again, ordering them to hand over Squishy, but Bunnelby bravely challenges them as Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}} and James sending out his {{TP|James|Inkay}}. Bunnelby uses Wild Charge on Gourgeist as James tells Inkay to use {{m|Tackle}}, but Dedenne jumps in and uses {{m|Nuzzle}} to counter, but is later knocked out by Gourgeist's {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Bunnelby tries to take out Gourgeist, but is knocked out as well. With the two major threats out of the way, Team Rocket tries to take Squishy, who gets ready to change form, but stops when Ash and his friends turn up. Quilladin, Chespin and Pancham start to fight again, but Quilladin remembers what Ash said and they all work together to help their friends. The battle against Team Rocket goes a lot better now that they are all working together, eventually defeating them and Quilladin sends them blasting off with a final Rollout attack.

Ash compliments the three of them for their team work and Quilladin remembers Eevee and rushes off into the bushes to pick her some more flowers, but is crushed when Eevee rejects him, due to her shyness. However, Quilladin quickly gets over the rejection when he spots a wild {{p|Flareon}} in the bushes and bids the gang a farewell before chasing after Flareon. With Quilladin now gone, Serena suggests to Eevee that they should continue practicing for their upcoming Pokémon Showcase and Ash telling Pikachu that they should do some training, with Clemont suggesting that he should make some lunch.

Quilladin chases after the wild Flareon through the forest and presents her with some flowers he picked, but Flareon uses {{m|Flamethrower}} on him before walking off, leaving Quilladin upset from another rejection.

==Blurb==

On the way to Snowbelle City, Bonnie discovers a small green Pokémon hiding in her bag. The Pokédex can’t identify it, so she decides to name it Squishy. Soon after, our heroes encounter their friend Sawyer and his Grovyle. The reunion is quickly disrupted by a group of people wearing red clothes and unusual eyewear, who are determined to get their hands on Bonnie’s new friend!

These new villains are Team Flare, and they’ve identified Squishy as one of the Cores they need for their mysterious Operation Z. Ash and Sawyer team up to drive them away, but they regroup to make new plans, and Team Rocket is keeping a close eye on them...

Sawyer suggests that the group make a stop at Terminus Cave on their way to Snowbelle City, and Squishy emphatically approves of this plan—so our heroes’ next destination is set!

==Plot==
The episode starts with {{p|Zygarde}}, which [[Team Flare]] are trying to capture. Unfortunately for them, they immediately lose sight of Zygarde right after. [[Mable]] tells [[Lysandre]] that they lost Zygarde, and Lysandre responds with a request to search for it. Meanwhile, {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} are in the forest, while Ash is continuing his journey to [[Snowbelle City]]. {{an|Bonnie}} finds a {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Zygarde Core}}, which Ash tries to look up in his [[Pokédex]], but it responds with "no data". {{an|Serena}} tries to look it up in her Pokédex as well, but it ends up with the same result. Ash has found a new Pokémon species, which he's very excited about. Bonnie decides to take care of the Zygarde Core and names it [[Squishy]]. A lot of {{p|Dodrio}} start running around in the forest, along with a {{TP|Sawyer|Grovyle}} chasing after it. Ash and friends meet up with Sawyer again, but they have lost track of Squishy.

The scene cuts back to Team Flare in the mountains looking for the Zygarde Core, with Bonnie, Ash, Clemont, Serena and Sawyer all searching the forest for Squishy too. Celosia and the Team Flare Grunts' corner Squishy as Celosia commands her {{p|Drapion}} to attack it with {{m|Pin Missile}}, causing an explosion that catches Ash and {{ashfr}} attention. With the Zygarde Core in Drapion's grip, Team Flare prepare to return back to the Laboratory, but Ash and his friends arrive at the mountain and order them to let Squishy go, to which Celosia orders Drapion to use {{m|Toxic}} and Ash commands {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to counter it, causing the two moves to collide and causing an explosion. [[Sawyer]] commands his Grovyle to use {{m|Leaf Storm}} as the attack cuts through the smoke cloud, hitting Drapion and freeing Squishy, who is then caught by Bonnie before it can fall to the ground. A Team Flare Grunt then orders his Pokémon to attack as well, but Ash sends out his {{AP|Noibat}} telling it to use {{m|Supersonic}}, stopping the opposing Pokémon in their tracks before Celosia orders her Drapion to use {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which is countered by Ash's Pikachu's Thunderbolt. The collision causes another explosion and smoke cloud, which is enough for Ash and his friends to escape with Squishy.

Back at [[Lysandre Labs]], [[Xerosic]] speaks to Mable and Celosia, telling them how he can't believe they both allowed {{p|Zygarde}} and the {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Zygarde Core}} to escape. The two say they are sorry and will search for them. Xerosic then goes to inform them that [[Aliana]] and [[Bryony]] have been given missions as well and explains that there are two Zygarde Cores, to which Bryony says she will look for the Zygarde Core Celosia failed to capture, while Aliana says she will find the {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|50% Forme}}, Bryony then brags about how it should have been them who were assigned the mission in the first place, with Aliana agreeing with her, which gets Celosia and Mable annoyed.

As the sun starts to go down, Ash and {{ashfr}} are seen in the forest after they managed to escape from Team Flare with Squishy, who is shown to be unharmed, much to everyone's relief. {{an|Clemont}} decides that it would be a good idea to camp out in the forest for the night as it is starting to get dark, Ash, Clemont and Serena send out their Pokémon, which Sawyer is amazed to see Ash's {{AP|Noibat}} and Serena's {{TP|Serena|Eevee}}. Bonnie then goes over to the group's Pokémon to introduce Squishy to them, saying that they are its friends. As all the Pokémon are eating, Bonnie tries to get Squishy to eat a [[Poké Puff]], but it refuses, Pikachu and {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} bring over some berries, but it refuses to eat those as well. Questioning whether Squishy eats at all, it then goes over to a nearby rock to check that it is safe by checking with the {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Zygarde Cells}} around the area, and once happy that the area is safe, Squishy began absorbing sunlight.

Sawyer starts to draw Squishy in his notebook, saying he will do some research on Squishy. Ash then asks Sawyer how many gyms he has been to, to which he says he has been to many more gyms and pulls out his badge case to reveal he has received four more since last time and asks Ash how many he has now. Ash shows Sawyer his badge case and tells him he has seven badges so far and Sawyer points out that Ash only needs one more as Bonnie pokes Squishy while it is sleeping on the rock. Sawyer asks about the {{Badge|Psychic}} from the {{gy|Anistar}}, and Ash tells him that [[Olympia]] was strong, to which Pikachu starts to wag his tail similar to how he did in the gym battle as Serena mentions how Pikachu deserves a lot of credit for the victory at the gym, which makes Pikachu happy. Sawyer tells Ash that the Anistar Gym is the gym he intends on challenging for his next badge and asks where Ash will be challenging for his final gym badge, which Ash tells him he will be challenging the [[Snowbelle Gym]].

Ash, Clemont and Serena all look over Sawyer's map as he shows them the location of Snowbelle City, but when Ash asked if he has challenged the gym there yet, he tells him that the gym is too strong for him and he isn't ready for it yet, but recommends that the group visits [[Terminus Cave]] as it is on the way to Snowbelle City, which Serena looks up in her guide book and shows it to Sawyer, who confirm that it is the location he means and states that there are Pokémon in there that can't be found anywhere else. Serena informs Bonnie of the cave and shows her the cave on the screen, which causes Squishy to attack the guide book and bounce on it angrily. Ash tries to get it to stop jumping on the guide book, Serena thinks the act means Squishy is angry at something, but Bonnie has the idea that it wants to go to Terminus Cave. Ash asks if they should go to Terminus Cave, and everyone agrees, Clemont says that they might learn more about Squishy if they go there.

As it gets darker and the moon comes out, everyone is fast asleep, Pikachu can be heard saying his name as he sleeps. Inside the tent that Serena and Bonnie are sleeping in, Squishy is wide awake, remaining still, staring upwards, until it senses something and uses the Cells scattered around the area to see what's going on, seeing that Team Flare are in the forest near to them. Angry at them being in the area, Squishy bounces off Bonnie's forehead, waking her up and exits the tent as it heads to Ash doing the same to him, with Bonnie chasing after it. With everyone chasing after Squishy, they witness a Pin Missile hit Squishy, causing it to fly back, as another Pin Missile heads towards them as Bonnie protects Squishy, but Ash has Pikachu use Thunderbolt on the attack before it can hit them, causing an explosion, as Sawyer has his {{TP|Sawyer|Grovyle}} use {{m|Leaf Blade}} on the Pin Missile that emerges from the explosion's smoke cloud, cutting them in half as it lands on the ground as another explosion clouds it with smoke. When the smoke clears, they see Team Flare again. Ash sends out {{AP|Frogadier}} to assist in the battle, as it emerges, it exchanges a smile with Grovyle, before Serena sends out her Braixen and Clemont sends out his {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}}, with Bonnie making sure Squishy isn't injured. Celosia tells them to leave them alone and let them take the Zygarde Core back, which makes Ash tell them that he won't leave them alone as Squishy doesn't belong to them, leading Celosia to command Drapion to attack them using {{m|Cross Poison}}, with the Team Flare Grunts ordering two {{p|Houndour}} and a {{p|Skorupi}} to use {{m|Dark Pulse}}. Ash prepares to counter the moves by commanding Frogadier to use {{m|Water Pulse}} and Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, backing Ash up, Serena has Braixen use {{m|Flamethrower}} and Clemont orders Luxray to use {{m|Swift}}. With all four moves heading towards the Dark Pulse attacks, the collision creates an explosion. Ash tells Clemont and Serena to take Bonnie and Squishy to safety, Sawyer tells them that he and Ash will handle everything. As they fly in their balloon, {{TRT}} notice multiple explosions coming from the forest and immediately think it is caused by Pikachu and decide to head in that direction. Clemont, Bonnie and Serena cross a small stream in order to get away from Team Flare, but Bonnie loses her balance when crossing and falls into the water, causing Serena to fall too in an attempt to save her.

As three continuous explosions spread throughout the forest, Ash and Sawyer emerge from the smoke, but can't find Team Flare anywhere, leading Ash to state that they need to get to Bonnie, Clemont and Serena. Back with the others, Clemont asks if the two are all right, to which they say they are, but Squishy is missing again.

The scene cuts to Squishy on a rock near a river, and as it wakes up and scales the small cliff, it meets Bryony and two more Team Flare Grunts as the latter send out a Houndour and a {{p|Sneasel}}, with Bryony telling Squishy that they won't let it get away as they still have experiments they need to do on it, before she sends out her Bisharp. Terrified by its situation, Squishy is forced to gather the Cells in the area and turning it into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|10% Forme}} and using {{m|Land's Wrath}}, causing Bryony and the Grunts to run away and alerting Ash and his friends of what was going on. Squishy then releases the Cells and reverting back into the Zygarde Core as it collapses from exhaustion as Bonnie finds it and checks on it to make sure it is fine and Clemont tells Ash that Team Flare has gone. Ash tells Sawyer that it was great having him fighting alongside them in their battle, and says it made a big difference in the outcome because they were there too, causing Sawyer to blush from appreciation.

After the incident with Squishy as 10% Forme Zygarde, Bryony leans against the van holding her arm as she informs Celosia of Zygarde's new form, but once she has said this, she hears a noise from the bushes, but ignores it. The noise was caused by Team Rocket as they remained quiet while they were listening about what was said about Zygarde, until Wobbuffet shouts his name, almost giving away their position.

As the sun starts to rise more, the Zygarde in 50% Forme can be seen in the forest as Ash and his friends wave goodbye to Sawyer and Grovyle, and then continue their journey. Along the way, they walk past [[Alain]], but both he and the group are unaware of it.

===Errors===
* When {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} was holding the food bowls with Serena, the inner part of his ear was brown, not pink.
* During Ash and friends' second encounter with [[Team Flare]], when the {{tc|Team Flare Grunt|Grunt}}s tell their Pokémon to use {{m|Dark Pulse}}, the male Grunt on the right has his hair drawn in reverse.
* After Ash and his friends have their second encounter with Team Flare and Team Flare escapes, {{AP|Frogadier}} disappears.
* In the English dub, when Drapion is sent flying back from Leaf Storm, a Team Flare Grunt says, "{{p|Houndoom}}, move out!" There wasn't a Houndoom present in that scene, only two {{p|Houndour}}. However, this was fixed on [[Pokémon TV]].
* In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, "Portuguese" is misspelled as "Portugues" in the credits. This error will be consistent from this point on.
* In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, Sawyer asks directly to Ash if he caught {{AP|Noibat}} and {{TP|Serena|Eevee}}, instead of asking the whole group.

These new villains are Team Flare, and they’ve identified Squishy as one of the Cores they need for their mysterious Operation Z. Ash and Sawyer team up to drive them away, but they regroup to make new plans, and Team Rocket is keeping a close eye on them...

Sawyer suggests that the group make a stop at Terminus Cave on their way to Snowbelle City, and Squishy emphatically approves of this plan—so our heroes’ next destination is set!

==Plot==
The episode starts with {{p|Zygarde}}, which [[Team Flare]] are trying to capture. Unfortunately for them, they immediately lose sight of Zygarde right after. [[Mable]] tells [[Lysandre]] that they lost Zygarde, and Lysandre responds with a request to search for it. Meanwhile, {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} are in the forest, while Ash is continuing his journey to [[Snowbelle City]]. {{an|Bonnie}} finds a {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Zygarde Core}}, which Ash tries to look up in his [[Pokédex]], but it responds with "no data". {{an|Serena}} tries to look it up in her Pokédex as well, but it ends up with the same result. Ash has found a new Pokémon species, which he's very excited about. Bonnie decides to take care of the Zygarde Core and names it [[Squishy]]. A lot of {{p|Dodrio}} start running around in the forest, along with a {{TP|Sawyer|Grovyle}} chasing after it. Ash and friends meet up with Sawyer again, but they have lost track of Squishy.

The scene cuts back to Team Flare in the mountains looking for the Zygarde Core, with Bonnie, Ash, Clemont, Serena and Sawyer all searching the forest for Squishy too. Celosia and the Team Flare Grunts' corner Squishy as Celosia commands her {{p|Drapion}} to attack it with {{m|Pin Missile}}, causing an explosion that catches Ash and {{ashfr}} attention. With the Zygarde Core in Drapion's grip, Team Flare prepare to return back to the Laboratory, but Ash and his friends arrive at the mountain and order them to let Squishy go, to which Celosia orders Drapion to use {{m|Toxic}} and Ash commands {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to counter it, causing the two moves to collide and causing an explosion. [[Sawyer]] commands his Grovyle to use {{m|Leaf Storm}} as the attack cuts through the smoke cloud, hitting Drapion and freeing Squishy, who is then caught by Bonnie before it can fall to the ground. A Team Flare Grunt then orders his Pokémon to attack as well, but Ash sends out his {{AP|Noibat}} telling it to use {{m|Supersonic}}, stopping the opposing Pokémon in their tracks before Celosia orders her Drapion to use {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which is countered by Ash's Pikachu's Thunderbolt. The collision causes another explosion and smoke cloud, which is enough for Ash and his friends to escape with Squishy.

Back at [[Lysandre Labs]], [[Xerosic]] speaks to Mable and Celosia, telling them how he can't believe they both allowed {{p|Zygarde}} and the {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Zygarde Core}} to escape. The two say they are sorry and will search for them. Xerosic then goes to inform them that [[Aliana]] and [[Bryony]] have been given missions as well and explains that there are two Zygarde Cores, to which Bryony says she will look for the Zygarde Core Celosia failed to capture, while Aliana says she will find the {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|50% Forme}}, Bryony then brags about how it should have been them who were assigned the mission in the first place, with Aliana agreeing with her, which gets Celosia and Mable annoyed.

As the sun starts to go down, Ash and {{ashfr}} are seen in the forest after they managed to escape from Team Flare with Squishy, who is shown to be unharmed, much to everyone's relief. {{an|Clemont}} decides that it would be a good idea to camp out in the forest for the night as it is starting to get dark, Ash, Clemont and Serena send out their Pokémon, which Sawyer is amazed to see Ash's {{AP|Noibat}} and Serena's {{TP|Serena|Eevee}}. Bonnie then goes over to the group's Pokémon to introduce Squishy to them, saying that they are its friends. As all the Pokémon are eating, Bonnie tries to get Squishy to eat a [[Poké Puff]], but it refuses, Pikachu and {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} bring over some berries, but it refuses to eat those as well. Questioning whether Squishy eats at all, it then goes over to a nearby rock to check that it is safe by checking with the {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Zygarde Cells}} around the area, and once happy that the area is safe, Squishy began absorbing sunlight.

Sawyer starts to draw Squishy in his notebook, saying he will do some research on Squishy. Ash then asks Sawyer how many gyms he has been to, to which he says he has been to many more gyms and pulls out his badge case to reveal he has received four more since last time and asks Ash how many he has now. Ash shows Sawyer his badge case and tells him he has seven badges so far and Sawyer points out that Ash only needs one more as Bonnie pokes Squishy while it is sleeping on the rock. Sawyer asks about the {{Badge|Psychic}} from the {{gy|Anistar}}, and Ash tells him that [[Olympia]] was strong, to which Pikachu starts to wag his tail similar to how he did in the gym battle as Serena mentions how Pikachu deserves a lot of credit for the victory at the gym, which makes Pikachu happy. Sawyer tells Ash that the Anistar Gym is the gym he intends on challenging for his next badge and asks where Ash will be challenging for his final gym badge, which Ash tells him he will be challenging the [[Snowbelle Gym]].

Ash, Clemont and Serena all look over Sawyer's map as he shows them the location of Snowbelle City, but when Ash asked if he has challenged the gym there yet, he tells him that the gym is too strong for him and he isn't ready for it yet, but recommends that the group visits [[Terminus Cave]] as it is on the way to Snowbelle City, which Serena looks up in her guide book and shows it to Sawyer, who confirm that it is the location he means and states that there are Pokémon in there that can't be found anywhere else. Serena informs Bonnie of the cave and shows her the cave on the screen, which causes Squishy to attack the guide book and bounce on it angrily. Ash tries to get it to stop jumping on the guide book, Serena thinks the act means Squishy is angry at something, but Bonnie has the idea that it wants to go to Terminus Cave. Ash asks if they should go to Terminus Cave, and everyone agrees, Clemont says that they might learn more about Squishy if they go there.

As it gets darker and the moon comes out, everyone is fast asleep, Pikachu can be heard saying his name as he sleeps. Inside the tent that Serena and Bonnie are sleeping in, Squishy is wide awake, remaining still, staring upwards, until it senses something and uses the Cells scattered around the area to see what's going on, seeing that Team Flare are in the forest near to them. Angry at them being in the area, Squishy bounces off Bonnie's forehead, waking her up and exits the tent as it heads to Ash doing the same to him, with Bonnie chasing after it. With everyone chasing after Squishy, they witness a Pin Missile hit Squishy, causing it to fly back, as another Pin Missile heads towards them as Bonnie protects Squishy, but Ash has Pikachu use Thunderbolt on the attack before it can hit them, causing an explosion, as Sawyer has his {{TP|Sawyer|Grovyle}} use {{m|Leaf Blade}} on the Pin Missile that emerges from the explosion's smoke cloud, cutting them in half as it lands on the ground as another explosion clouds it with smoke. When the smoke clears, they see Team Flare again. Ash sends out {{AP|Frogadier}} to assist in the battle, as it emerges, it exchanges a smile with Grovyle, before Serena sends out her Braixen and Clemont sends out his {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}}, with Bonnie making sure Squishy isn't injured. Celosia tells them to leave them alone and let them take the Zygarde Core back, which makes Ash tell them that he won't leave them alone as Squishy doesn't belong to them, leading Celosia to command Drapion to attack them using {{m|Cross Poison}}, with the Team Flare Grunts ordering two {{p|Houndour}} and a {{p|Skorupi}} to use {{m|Dark Pulse}}. Ash prepares to counter the moves by commanding Frogadier to use {{m|Water Pulse}} and Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, backing Ash up, Serena has Braixen use {{m|Flamethrower}} and Clemont orders Luxray to use {{m|Swift}}. With all four moves heading towards the Dark Pulse attacks, the collision creates an explosion. Ash tells Clemont and Serena to take Bonnie and Squishy to safety, Sawyer tells them that he and Ash will handle everything. As they fly in their balloon, {{TRT}} notice multiple explosions coming from the forest and immediately think it is caused by Pikachu and decide to head in that direction. Clemont, Bonnie and Serena cross a small stream in order to get away from Team Flare, but Bonnie loses her balance when crossing and falls into the water, causing Serena to fall too in an attempt to save her.

As three continuous explosions spread throughout the forest, Ash and Sawyer emerge from the smoke, but can't find Team Flare anywhere, leading Ash to state that they need to get to Bonnie, Clemont and Serena. Back with the others, Clemont asks if the two are all right, to which they say they are, but Squishy is missing again.

The scene cuts to Squishy on a rock near a river, and as it wakes up and scales the small cliff, it meets Bryony and two more Team Flare Grunts as the latter send out a Houndour and a {{p|Sneasel}}, with Bryony telling Squishy that they won't let it get away as they still have experiments they need to do on it, before she sends out her Bisharp. Terrified by its situation, Squishy is forced to gather the Cells in the area and turning it into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|10% Forme}} and using {{m|Land's Wrath}}, causing Bryony and the Grunts to run away and alerting Ash and his friends of what was going on. Squishy then releases the Cells and reverting back into the Zygarde Core as it collapses from exhaustion as Bonnie finds it and checks on it to make sure it is fine and Clemont tells Ash that Team Flare has gone. Ash tells Sawyer that it was great having him fighting alongside them in their battle, and says it made a big difference in the outcome because they were there too, causing Sawyer to blush from appreciation.

After the incident with Squishy as 10% Forme Zygarde, Bryony leans against the van holding her arm as she informs Celosia of Zygarde's new form, but once she has said this, she hears a noise from the bushes, but ignores it. The noise was caused by Team Rocket as they remained quiet while they were listening about what was said about Zygarde, until Wobbuffet shouts his name, almost giving away their position.

As the sun starts to rise more, the Zygarde in 50% Forme can be seen in the forest as Ash and his friends wave goodbye to Sawyer and Grovyle, and then continue their journey. Along the way, they walk past [[Alain]], but both he and the group are unaware of it.

* When this episode was first put on Netflix, it was mistakenly titled, "Love Strikes, Evee Yikes!".

===Errors===
* When {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} was holding the food bowls with Serena, the inner part of his ear was brown, not pink.
* During Ash and friends' second encounter with [[Team Flare]], when the {{tc|Team Flare Grunt|Grunt}}s tell their Pokémon to use {{m|Dark Pulse}}, the male Grunt on the right has his hair drawn in reverse.
* After Ash and his friends have their second encounter with Team Flare and Team Flare escapes, {{AP|Frogadier}} disappears.
* In the English dub, when Drapion is sent flying back from Leaf Storm, a Team Flare Grunt says, "{{p|Houndoom}}, move out!" There wasn't a Houndoom present in that scene, only two {{p|Houndour}}. However, this was fixed on [[Pokémon TV]].
* In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, "Portuguese" is misspelled as "Portugues" in the credits. This error will be consistent from this point on.
* In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, Sawyer asks directly to Ash if he caught {{AP|Noibat}} and {{TP|Serena|Eevee}}, instead of asking the whole group.

Talk:M20

Theexploringgamer: /* Should the returning characters in this movie get separate articles? */

== Ho-Oh ==

From the poster, can we safely assume that Ho-Oh is in the movie and add it to the list of characters? [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 20:45, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
:Even that's too much of an assumption. The initial teaser for [[M13]] showed Lugia and Ho-Oh, and they never showed up in the film. -- [[User:Umbee|Umbee]] ([[User talk:Umbee|talk]]) 22:45, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
::At the very least, we can reasonably assume that [[Marshadow (Pokémon)|Marshadow]] might play some role in the film, assuming of course it ISN'T like what the teasers hint it to be. It's the only mythical Pokémon in Generation VII besides Magearna (who had [[M19|already debuted]]) accounted for. If the movie IS like what the teasers hint it to be, then we'll probably wait until next year for Magearna to appear. That said, let's wait until we get more official information on that front. Based on how long it took to get concrete information for M19, I'd say we'll wait until... oh, late January, maybe the first week of February (owing to the earlier release of new information on M20 than with M19). [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] ([[User talk:Weedle Mchairybug|talk]]) 21:12, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
::Correction, M19 information was released around the same time. So more likely actual new info about the movie will be released either January 12 or 19 (since M19 info was released on January 14, 2016, either of those two dates would have been close to the mark). [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] ([[User talk:Weedle Mchairybug|talk]]) 21:22, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
:::Um, no, we can't assume Marshadow will be in the movie. If you're forgetting, there's data in SM for both Pikachu in a cap, its Z-Crystal, and Mew's Z-Crystal. Those are far more likely to be related to the movie, especially the former. Either way, this is nothing more than speculation and is thus unneeded. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 21:26, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
::::Okay, fair enough, especially when Ash-Pikachu is more likely to be for this movie anyway. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] ([[User talk:Weedle Mchairybug|talk]]) 00:18, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
:::::Well, what do you know? Both Ash-Pikachu AND Marshadow are going to be in this movie. Bit surprised that they would actually do it even though I earlier predicted Marshadow to be the event Pokémon, especially when there aren't any Mythical Pokémon left in Gen VII to distribute.

Since it is clear Ash's journey will take a very different route in this movie, should there be a separate article for the version that appears in this movie?{{unsigned|Charmeleon2495}}

:Why not? It's clear it's not even going to follow much beyond Ash and Pikachu's first meeting, so might as well treat them as separate characters. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] ([[User talk:Weedle Mchairybug|talk]]) 14:34, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

::Well, are we doing this or not? [[User:TheFatPanda|TheFatPanda]] ([[User talk:TheFatPanda|talk]]) 00:23, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
:::The movie is not out yet. We do not know what will happen in the movie, so we cannot know whether it is appropriate to go with this proposal or not. Be patient. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 01:10, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
::::I kind of assumed the Japan Expo premiere was the point where it was considered "released", and we're already getting summeries coming through from those who attended, so... [[User:TheFatPanda|TheFatPanda]] ([[User talk:TheFatPanda|talk]]) 02:12, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
:::::Pumpkinking, the movie came out yesterday in France. The summaries are already out. It should only be reasonable to do so [[User:Theexploringgamer|Theexploringgamer]] ([[User talk:Theexploringgamer|talk]]) 03:04, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

== Are you sure that the Charmander from the trailer is Ash's Charmander? ==

In the trailer, someone is seen catching or withdrawing a Charmander but that someone isn't wearing Ash's gloves so that Pokémon may be owned by someone else.{{unsigned|EdSantos}}

They are catching it because when returning a Pokemon the Pokeball does not open. [[User:Jpderouin|Jpderouin]] ([[User talk:Jpderouin|talk]]) 17:58, 23 April 2017 (UTC)jpderouin

== Characters ==

Why are the characters from the movies getting their own pages already, when the movie hasn't earned yet, when the same doesn't happen for COTD from the series? [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 06:40, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

== Continuity... ==

How does this affect the anime's continuity? Should we treat it as an alternate reality? [[User:TeridaxXD001|TeridaxXD001]] ([[User talk:TeridaxXD001|talk]]) 03:53, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

''<ab>I could get used to this heat on my skin
I can feel every day, I'm a little bit stronger
I only wish each day was longer

Yeah! We're having fun in the sun (the Alolan sun)
Week after week
It's just like we're on vacation

Yeah! Now our journey's begun,

Number one's our destination

| <ab>Yo! Champ in making! Let's get excited all day today as well
Catch 'em! Catch 'em! (Catch 'em! Catch 'em!) Come on, gather up all your friends
Neither a Great Ball, nor an Ultra Ball, nor even a Master Ball
Could ever capture your heart
But if we dance, we'll get better and better

{{t|Normal}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Poison}}, {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Ghost}}
{{t|Steel}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Ice}}
{{t|Psychic}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Fairy}}
All the pre-evolved forms and its evolution lines, collect 'em 'em 'em
Strike a pose! With full force!

The burning, blazing flames are firing up
Shocking with a zing, electricity paralyzes with a zap
The ghosts are cackling with a whooing gloom
Fight like the world's top fighter with a smash, bash, and crash!

It's great to have met you, deciding on you is so great
Keeping all those memories tight in our pockets
Let's hold our hands as we march forward and stay together even in hard times
When we become adults, let's meet here again

The power of science is amazing! Let's do our best all day today as well
Catch 'em! Catch 'em! (Catch 'em! Catch 'em!) Come on, the journey has yet to end
Neither in the [[tall grass]], nor in the [[cave]], nor even with a [[fishing]] rod
Could ever capture your heart
But if we sing, we'll get bolder and bolder

Normal, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, Bug, Rock, Ghost
Steel, Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, Ice
Psychic, Dragon, Dark, Fairy
All your rivals and all your partners, collect 'em 'em 'em
Strike a pose! With full force!

Shivering and shaking by the clinking and tinkling ice
The gushing and rushing poison corrodes the body away
Dizzying and woozying, it's a psychic confusion
Normal is ordinary, yet simple is best

It's great to have met you, deciding on you is so great
Put on a smile and come on, let's hold our hands tight
It's fine to take a pause and look back
Remembering those childhood memories

Swimming smoothly with splashing grace, grass and flowers thrive under the sun
Drawing power at its source on the ground, let's soar freely upon the blue sky

The buzzing of insects is bugging us out
Rugged rocks, rumbling rocks, attack with guts
The sly villain is cackling darkly with an eeheehee
The body of steel shimmers and shines

The strong dragon roars out with its mighty jaws
The fairy charmingly and gorgeously strikes it out

It's great to have met you, deciding on you is so great
Keeping all those memories tight in our pockets
Let's hold our hands as we march forward and stay together even in hard times
When we become adults, let's meet here again</ab>

'''Mimey''' (Japanese: '''バリちゃん''' ''Barri-chan'') is a {{p|Mr. Mime}} who lives with [[Delia Ketchum]].

==History==
===[[Original series]]===
[[File:Delia and Mimey.png|thumb|180px|left|Mimey and Delia]]
Mimey debuted in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first saw Mimey using its {{t|Psychic}} powers to climb an invisible barrier it created. Ash wanted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it, but a ringmaster named [[Stella]] wanted to as well. In the chaos, Mimey got away. Stella had wanted to catch it to inspire another {{p|Mr. Mime}} that worked on her circus. {{an|Brock}} decided to help and had Ash dress as a Mr. Mime to help instead. When {{Delia}} and {{an|Professor Oak}} went to the circus, they found out about the plan. When the {{pkmn2|wild}} Mr. Mime Ash and his friends saw earlier came to her door, Delia thought it was Ash in costume, and provided it with food. When the real Ash showed up, still in costume, she was quite puzzled. It then teamed up with Delia to help stop {{TRT}} from stealing all the Pokémon in Stella's circus. Ever since then Delia has adopted it and affectionately [[nickname]]d it "Mimey". It is unknown if Delia actually caught Mimey, as she is never shown with its [[Poké Ball]].

[[File:Delia Mimey.png|thumb|180px|left|Delia taking care of a {{pkmn|illness|sick}} Mimey]]
Ash was shown to be somewhat envious of Delia's affection for Mimey; Delia once described it as more polite and helpful compared to Ash. He also became annoyed when Delia took its side after it had woken him up by using the vacuum on his face. Despite this, Ash and Mimey are on good terms, with Mimey happily accepting Ash's friendly greetings on his return trips to Pallet Town. Ash in particular is glad that Delia has Mimey as a housemate, as while he is on his journey, his mother will have company at home and will never be lonely.

Mimey has made a few appearances during the side story episodes outside of the main series. In ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', it helped ward off [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. Also in ''[[SS014|Journey to the Starting Line!]]'', it helped save the life of a {{p|Charmander}} that had fallen into a lake using {{m|Psychic}} to pluck it and {{Tracey}} out of the water.

==={{series|Best Wishes}}===
Mimey appeared in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' where it was overjoyed when Ash and Pikachu returned to Pallet Town.

==={{series|Sun & Moon}}===
Mimey appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to a New Adventure!]]''. It joined Ash and Delia on their holiday to [[Alola]] where it was revealed Mimey was responsible for winning their tickets.

{{-}}

==Personality and characteristics==
Mimey will only listen to Delia and if anyone else gives it orders or asks it to do something, it will normally ignore them unless told otherwise by Delia. It greatly enjoys doing the household chores around the Ketchum home and does not like sharing its job with others. When Ash and his friends returned to Pallet Town following the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga, it was revealed that {{an|Brock}} and Mimey had become rather competitive regarding household tasks while the two of them were sharing the house with Delia. It's also protective of Delia's property and will quickly spring into action to defend it as seen in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'' where it used {{m|Light Screen}} to keep Team Rocket from trampling her garden.

==Moves used==

==Trivia==
* Mimey shares the same voice actors as [[Jessie]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and [[Ash's Cyndaquil]] both in English and Japanese.
* Mimey marks the final role that [[Kayzie Rogers]] performed prior to her retirement.

'''Who's That Pokémon?''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|だれだ？|Dare da?}}''' ''Who is it?'') is a question-and-answer segment that is featured in numerous episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It has also been posted on [[The Pokémon Company International]]'s official [https://www.facebook.com/Pokemon Facebook] and [https://twitter.com/Pokemon Twitter] accounts, on [[Niantic]]'s [[Pokémon GO]] [https://twitter.com/PokemonGoApp twitter account], and appeared in {{g|X and Y}} as the puzzle for the [[Lumiose Gym]].

For a complete segment listing, see ''[[List of Who's That Pokémon? segments]]''.

==History==
===English dub===
In the English [[dub]], ''Who's That Pokémon?'' was originally used from the episodes of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]''; the segment later returned in ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', after an almost seven year absence. It occurs before and after the main commercial break during the episode. The silhouette of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is shown, with someone usually asking the audience to guess the Pokémon that belongs to the given outline. After the commercial break, the name of the Pokémon is revealed, usually with the current main characters shouting the name of the Pokémon, as well as the [[cry]] of the Pokémon shown. The segment was retired at the end of the [[S06|sixth season]] of the anime and was replaced with [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]], which was dropped from the dub after two seasons. At the beginning of the {{series|Black & White}}, ''Who's That Pokémon?'' began to be featured again. It did not initially feature the Pokémon's cry after being revealed, although this returned in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]''. For unknown reasons, ''Who's That Pokémon?'' was removed from the [[CITV]] airings of the first two episodes of Pokémon: Black & White, and all following episodes use a slight international variation, showing the silhouette of the Pokémon at the mid-way point of the episode (as would be expected), and then revealing the Pokémon just before the end credits.

Early in its run, ''Who's That Pokémon?'' would feature a Pokémon who played a major role in that episode. In late [[S01|Kanto]] it switched to featuring a Pokémon that played a major role in the following episode, although this wasn't always the case. When [[S04|Johto League Champions]] began, ''Who's That Pokémon?'' became random, with the featured Pokémon usually not playing a prominent role in that episode, nor did it indicate a Pokémon being featured in a following episode. Also beginning with that [[season]], the dub added a short hint on-screen to aid in the identification of the Pokémon. When the feature returned in Pokémon: Black & White, it originally featured a Pokémon that played a prominent role in the following episode before later switching to a Pokémon with a prominent role in that episode, beginning with ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]''.

===Original Japanese version===
[[File:PMTV EP222.png|thumb|250px|Pocket Monster TV version two]]
In the original Japanese version of the show, ''Who's That Pokémon?'' was used from [[EP001]] to [[EP274]] and then returned in [[BW061]]. In this version, it almost always featured a Pokémon that played a major role in that episode.

Starting in [[EP192]], the segment was renamed '''Pocket Monster TV''' (written in English from [[EP211]]). There was no functional difference; however, the kids' voices were replaced with a computerized voice, the background was changed, and it showed the featured Pokémon's [[National Pokédex]] number. From [[EP211]], the segment was revamped again, with the following segments being in widescreen. [[EP192]] through [[EP210]] were later altered to the updated version of ''Pocket Monster TV'' when released on VHS.

The segment was retired at the end of the [[original series]], and was replaced in the {{series|Advanced Generation}} with a generic [[eyecatch]] showing the main characters. This continued into {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} and long into the {{series|Best Wishes}}. ''Who's That Pokémon?'' returned to Japanese television in [[BW061]]. In this version, all of the [[type]]s that the Pokémon is weak against are listed along with its name. {{AP|Pikachu}} will use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to light up parts of the silhouetted Pokémon as a hint, as with Pocket Monster TV.

In the {{series|XY}}, the segment is slightly modified. Now called [[Pokémon Quiz]], the segment presents the viewer with four flashcards bearing different silhouettes and asks them to identify the correct Pokémon. Usually, one card is {{TRT}} as a decoy choice. The segment once again returned to the typical ''Who's That Pokémon?'' in the {{series|Sun & Moon}}.

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese version, there are several occasions where the segment intentionally tricks the audience.
** In ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'', the silhouette is actually [[Brutella]] instead of a Pokémon.
** In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', the Pokémon is actually {{p|Jigglypuff}} from above rather than a perfectly spherical Pokémon like {{p|Voltorb}} or {{p|Electrode}}.
** In ''[[EP082|A Scare in the Air]]'', the silhouette is actually a {{wp|Daruma doll}} instead of a Pokémon.
** In ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'', the silhouette appears to be {{p|Pikachu}}, but is actually just a {{m|transform}}ed {{p|Ditto}}.
** In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', the Pokémon is actually [[Jessie]] dressed as a {{p|Venomoth}}. When the "Pokémon" is revealed, the narrator says "Venomoth", but the children shout "Incorrect!"
* {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} has made two distinct "Who's That Pokémon?" appearances. Its [[EP091|first]] treats it as a regular Pokémon while in [[EP164|the second]], it telepathically says "Prepare to battle", akin to {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series|its depiction in the anime}}.
* ''[[EP204|Right on, Rhydon!]]'' is the only episode, before the {{series|Best Wishes}}, to feature a ''Who's That Pokémon?'' in the {{pmin|Italy|Italian}} dub.
* Some regions outside of North America using the American dub of Pokémon: Black & White, show the second part of ''Who's That Pokémon?'' at the end of the episode instead of straight after the commercial break. This is likely done because several TV channels don't broadcast the commercials in the same break as the U.S. version.
** This was reverted back to the old way in some areas at the beginning of ''[[S16|Adventures in Unova]]''.
* Many of the ''Who's That Pokémon?'' chosen for the international ''Johto Journeys'' episodes, especially earlier in the season, provide some foreshadowing by featuring the Pokémon that would be the subject of the next episode.
* The Japanese version of ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' marks the first time {{MTR|a Pokémon}} has ever left the screen during the segment.
* Starting with ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', the ''Who's That Pokémon?'' segment has not been leading into or coming back from the commercial break in the US. This may be due to {{wp|Cartoon Network}} airing ''Mixels'' shorts during ''Pokémon''.
* This segment was skipped by {{pmin|South Asia|Hungama TV in India}} for about half of [[S01|season 1]]. It was started after that, but is still occasionally skipped in between.
** This segment is also skipped by [[Netflix]] on its prints of Indigo-era and Orange Islands-era episodes.
* In the original Japanese versions, the text of "Pocket Monsters" was opened with lightning flashing around it. The lightning that opened the text was removed following the [[EP038]] incident.

===Errors===
* In ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]'', {{p|Cyndaquil}}'s arm is missing.
* In ''[[EP197|The Art Of Pokémon]]'', {{p|Beedrill}} is stated to be the evolved form of {{p|Weedle}}, when it is actually the final evolution of Weedle.
* In ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'', the word {{p|Magnemite}} uses the incorrect plural form of ''Magnemites''.
* In ''[[EP240|Some Like it Hot]]'', {{p|Mantine}} is stated to be the heaviest {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} when it is actually the second heaviest after {{p|Steelix}}.
* In ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]]'', tail is misspelled as ''tale''.
* In ''[[AG018|On a Wingull and a Prayer!]]'', {{p|Sentret}}'s face is missing.
* In ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]'', balloon-like is misspelled as baloonlike.
* In ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]'', {{p|Vigoroth}} has its footprint included in the space between its left arm and its left leg.
* In ''[[AG028|Seeing is Believing!]]'', {{p|Wurmple}} has a white square covering part of its body.
* In ''[[AG036|The Spheal of Approval]]'', the hint has an extra '''in'''.
* In ''[[BW013|Minccino—Neat and Tidy!]]'', {{p|Minccino}} is misspelled as ''Mincinno''. This was fixed in the American DVD release.
* In ''[[BW045|Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!]]'', when the segment asks "Who's that Pokémon?", there is no logo for Pokémon Black and White underneath the silhouette of Beheeyem.

==Blurb==

Now that Ash has decided to become a Pokémon School student in the Alola region, his classmates throw him a welcome party! Three of them challenge him to various competitions—a balloon-popping contest versus Sophocles and his Togedemaru, a land-and-water race between Pikachu and Lana’s Popplio, and a Tauros race against Kiawe.

Finally, Professor Kukui challenges him to a Pokémon battle, but Tapu Koko interrupts. It wants to battle Ash instead—and it wants him to try out his very first Z-Move, Gigavolt Havoc! As Pikachu unleashes an astonishingly powerful burst of electricity, Ash’s Z-Crystal shatters. He decides to undergo an island challenge trial to earn a new one!

==Plot==
{{cleanup|section|width=50%}}
The episode starts at [[Pokémon School]] where {{an|Lana}} tells her {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} to make a balloon, which pops. {{an|Sophocles}} puts {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}} in a wheel to charge his program, but she falls over. {{an|Lillie}} tells {{an|Mallow}} that if she added a few [[Berries]] to her [[Pokémon food]], it would be better. Mallow thanks for the suggestion, but {{TP|Mallow|Bounsweet}} scares Lillie. Mallow thinks Lillie is afraid to touch them, but Lillie objects, saying the factor is if she ''wants'' to touch them. {{an|Kiawe}} comes in, tired because he had a delivery to [[Ula'ula Island]]. Sophocles thinks this is far away, but Kiawe says his {{DL|Kiawe (anime)|Charizard}} makes the ride shorter. After that, [[Professor Kukui]], {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} come in. Kiawe notices the [[Z-Ring]] equipped with an {{DL|Z-Crystal|Electrium-Z}} recieved in [[SM001|the previous episode]] from {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Tapu Koko}}. Kukui reveals that Ash will be a student in the Pokémon School. Ash then reveals his intentions to become a [[Pokémon Master]], how much he wants to learn about [[Alola]] and that he is glad to be at the school.

The [[narrator]] explains a brief summary of the previous episode, and his mysterious encounter with Tapu Koko. Sophocles and Mallow notice the Z-Ring with the Z-Crystal, with Kiawe saying that it was an Electrium-Z. He then says that Ash did not participate in the [[island challenge]] and pass any trial of some sort that he knew. Ash explained that Tapu Koko had given it to him, much to Mallow's shock, as he had now seen Tapu Koko ''twice''. He then did a more in-depth explanation, with Kiawe thinking on how Tapu Koko got a Z-Ring. Lillie said she had read about Tapu Koko. The [[Guardian deities|guardian deity]] of [[Melemele Island]], Tapu Koko likes to play tricks on people or even punish them, but give gifts to people it likes. Kiawe got his Z-Crystal from clearing the [[Akala Island]] grand trial. Ash thinks he can now use [[Z-Move]]s just like Kiawe, but Kiawe objects, saying there must be a connection of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and his/her {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The feeling turns to power, and the feelings are about helping Alola, other Pokémon, or other trainers. Kiawe says Ash needs to learn about his responsibilities, and Ash says that Kiawe could count on him. Kukui states that they have a clash between a {{m|Thunderbolt}} and a {{m|Flamethrower}}. He then says that the class would be taught by their principal: [[Samson Oak]].

As a {{p|Komala}} sleeps, Oak comes in wearing an {{p|Exeggutor}} costume explaining how an Alolan Exeggutor is a [[regional variant]], even having a different [[type]]! It is because Alola has a different climate, and that it is a part {{type|Dragon}}, contradicting to an Exeggutor not in Alola, which is a {{t|Grass}}- and {{type|Psychic}}. Ash, surprised, runs up to see its tail, but Lillie warns him that he should know about the tail. By that time, the tail had already threw him up a ladder, but Ash was able to catch himself, and after Lillie explained about the tail having it's own mind, Ash asked her if she could get to the point sooner. Oak tells him learning there will require the "patience of a {{p|Conkeldurr}}".

In Kukui's house, Kukui makes Ash an Alola plate while Pikachu gets some Pokémon food. Both like the food they are given. Ash quickly eats his Alola plate and {{TP|Professor Kukui|Rockruff}} takes a liking to Ash. Kukui explains that Rockruff rub each other with the rocks on it's neck. After Ash gets more rubbing from Rockruff, Kukui's phone rings and he answers. On the other side of the phone, Mallow says that a proposed welcome party was approved by the professor.

Next morning, Ash and Pikachu are late to school, and are trying to rush there. Just as they arrive, confetti flies and Popplio blows a balloon, and all of Ash's classmates give him an "Alola surprise!" Mallow explains that that day was perfect to have a surprise party. Next, Sophocles and Togedemaru challenge Ash and Pikachu. Ash thinks it is a battle, but it is a balloon popping challenge. Sophocles uses Togedemaru's spikes to gain a good lead, but Lillie tells Ash he can use moves. Ash commands Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but Togedemaru uses its [[Ability]]: {{a|Lightning Rod}}. It then uses {{m|Zing Zap}} to pop all the remaining balloons, winning for herself and her trainer. The next challenge is against Lana and Popplio, but they are unaware that a yellow Pokémon is watching them. Though Pikachu gets off to a strong start, Popplio wins with it's superior swimming speed of over 25 MPH.

The third challenge is against Kiawe, and have a {{p|Tauros}} race. Kukui explains to Samson Oak that everyone wanted Ash to have a party, making Oak happy. He then asks the professor if he will take part, revealing that he is the fifth surprise. The race ends in Kiawe winning in a photo finish. Kukui says that he is the fifth surprise, but Mallow says that it is lunchtime. Later, everyone is eating and Ash hears a Pokémon [[cry]] and Tapu Koko appears, to everyone's surprise. Ash says thank you to the Melemele guardian deity, but Tapu Koko is off, stealing his [[Ash's hat|hat]] in the process. No one can see Tapu Koko due to its {{stat|Speed}}. Tapu Koko flies to the forest, with Ash on it's heels.

As Tapu Koko and Ash race to the forest, everyone else follows, although Sophocles has trouble. There, Tapu Koko give Ash his hat back, and reveals it wants to have a battle, something that had happened from ages ago, in Lillie's books. Tapu Koko starts with {{m|Electric Terrain}}, making electric attacks more powerful. Tapu Koko then lunges at Pikachu, but Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, with not much effect. Tapu Koko comes to Ash and powers up his Z-Crystal. Ash is going to use his Z-Ring and Electrium-Z. Ash then tells Pikachu to get ready, but much to everyone's nervousness. Ash then performs the pose and Pikachu releases a spectacular Z move, with Kukui explaining that it was {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}}! A huge explosion erupts, and Ash is shocked that he saw a real Gigavolt Havoc, but his Electrium-Z shatters, and Tapu Koko flies away. Mallow was very impressed at how powerful his first Z-move was. Kiawe notices that Ash's Z-Crystal shattered, and explains that it was too soon to use Z-moves, as he had not taken a trial. Ash then decides he will take the island challenge to prove he is worthy of using Z-moves! Mallow says that they will be cheering for him.

Back at the Lab, Ash is eating when Kukui gives him a present: a [[Rotom Pokédex|Pokédex]]! Now there is one thing left to do...

==Trivia==
* During the first airing on [[TV Tokyo]] as one-hour special, viewers could take part in a [[a:File:Keyword quiz SM001 SM002.png|three-characters keyword quiz]], in which ten viewers could win a Nintendo New 3DS XL Pokemon Solgaleo Lunala Black Edition and copies of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. The second character was ワ and the third ザ.
* During the first airing on TV Tokyo as one-hour special the Japanese comedian Abareru-kun appeared in typical Hawaiian clothes, he announced the {{DL|Data broadcasting|Poké Problem|Poké Problem data broadcast}}, {{DL|Data broadcasting|QR code|a data broadcast that works with Pokémon Sun and Moon}}, and that next week another one-hour special would air.
* This episode aired as a sneak peek on November 18, 2016, in {{pmin|France}}; November 19, 2016, in {{pmin|Italy}}; November 20, 2016, in {{pmin|Germany}} and {{pmin|Belgium}}; November 26, 2016, in {{pmin|Spain}}; November 27, 2016, in {{pmin|the Netherlands}}; December 5, 2016, in {{pmin|the United States}}; and December 31, 2016, in {{pmin|Canada}} alongside ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' and [[SM001]]. Its airdate in France was only one day after its airing in Japan.
* When the Watch Disney XD site and Disney XD app were updated to include episodes from [[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]] on February 11, 2017, the final version of this and the following episode were made available, replacing the special preview previously available through the service.
* [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} narrate the preview for the [[SM003|next episode]].
* In the preview version of the dub, Ash does the "[[Who's That Pokemon?]]" by himself. In the final version, all of the main cast says it.

===Errors===
* As the screen flashes between Ash and Pikachu just before Pikachu fires off Gigavolt Havoc, Pikachu can be heard talking but not actually opening his mouth.

===Dub edits===
* The Japanese text depicting Gigavolt Havoc's name when Pikachu is about to use the move is edited out in the dub.
* The text saying "To Be Continued" when Ash receives the Rotom Pokédex from Professor Kukui is edited out in the dub.
* In the official debut of this episode's dub, a large portion of the original music is replaced with dub music. However, this was not the case in the preview airing, in which the episode used all of the original music.

* [[Poké Problem]]: ''What's the kind of place I'm afraid of?''
** Host: {{an|Sophocles}}
** Choices: High places, crowds, forest lakes, dark places
** Answer: Dark places
* [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} narrate the preview for the [[SM007|next episode]].
* [[Sophocles's Togedemaru]] is confirmed to be female in this episode.
* The circular rug that {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are sitting on in [[Professor Kukui]]'s house is very similar to the one that is Professor Kukui's laboratory in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].
* This episode marks the first time some of [[Ash's friends]] do not appear while still being part of the main cast.
* Ash wears the same green T-shirt (with the {{m|Surf}} sprite from the [[Generation I]] games) as he did in a flashback in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''.
* Sophocles and Ash do the "[[Who's That Pokemon?]]" in the dub.
* In the "[[Who's That Pokemon?]] segment, Togedemaru's line is reused for the 2nd time in the episode.

===Errors===
* When {{Ash}} walks into the {{DL|Hau'oli City|Shopping District}}, a {{p|Growlithe}}'s tail is orange instead of cream.
* When {{an|Sophocles}} pulls out a screwdriver so he can open up the [[Rotom Pokédex]], his hand is colored the same as Ash's skin tone instead of his.
* When Sophocles turns around after [[Professor Kukui]] invites Ash and Sophocles to dinner, {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}}'s left hand is colored grey instead of white.
* When Togedemaru jumps on {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}} when Ash meets up with Sophocles at the mall, her cheeks are missing.

===Dub edits===
* Ash's vomit after eating his meal is edited out.
* The "To Be Continued" text is changed.
