Noticing that Ash has fallen asleep on the couch, Professor Kukui wakes him up and Ash goes to his bed.

Rotom takes the wig off, putting it on the desk and goes to reveal who the culprit was only to find Ash is fast asleep.

Searching the school, Rotom and Pikachu go into the staff room and inform Professor Kukui of what has happened.

Samson Oak explains that a cameraman from Alola TV came by yesterday and took them with plans to use them for next year's [[Pokémon Pancake Race]] poster. | Searching the school, Rotom and Pikachu go into the staff room and inform Professor Kukui of what has happened.

Crystal-Clear Sleuthing! (Japanese: アローラ探偵ロトム!消えたクリスタルの謎!! Alola Detective Rotom! The Mystery of the Missing Crystal!!) is the 17th episode of the Sun & Moon series, and the 956th episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on March 9, 2017 and in the United States on July 1, 2017, as part of a three-hour special.
Blurb
Professor Kukui and Rotom Dex are big fans of the TV show Alolan Detective Laki, and Rotom even has a blond wig so it can pretend to be the star. When Ash’s Electrium Z goes missing, Rotom excitedly takes the case!
Through video replay, Rotom tracks the Z-Crystal’s last known whereabouts to the schoolyard, where Ash and Kiawe were training. Rotom suspects Kiawe ended up with the crystal, but Lillie has another explanation: the video shows Ash putting it in his pocket. Ash remembers that he put the crystal on his nightstand before going to bed—and Pikachu triumphantly finds the missing Electrium Z caught in Rotom’s wig!
