Synopsis
Template:Incomplete synopsis Ash, Dawn, and Brock are aboard a ship heading back to Twinleaf Town, gradually growing more lonely as the trip goes on due to the realization that the three will soon split up. However, a Pichu appears, brightening everyone's mood, followed by a Teddiursa, Igglybuff, Azurill, and Cleffa.
However, all is not well. Team Rocket is stirring up trouble beneath the sea, disturbing some Tentacruel living peacefully at the bottom, and causing them to rush to the surface. Without warning, the Pokémon attack the ship, causing a great crisis.
Major events

Trivia
- There is no Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture at the end of this episode. Instead, a preview of the Best Wishes series, featuring Tsutarja, Pokabu, and Mijumaru was shown.
- Oración, Together With the Wind and music from Route 29 are used as the background music in this episode.
- Ash, Brock and Dawn narrate the preview of the next episode.
- Happiny's evolution into Chansey marks the first time Brock's Pokémon roster has changed since Happiny hatched in One Big Happiny Family! 152 episodes ago (a period of over three years). This marks the longest period by far that an active main character has gone without any team changes.
- Despite the fact it has existed since Generation I and is known as Chansey's signature move (plus the fact that Chansey have made regular appearances in the anime since the second episode), this episode marks the first time that Softboiled is used in the anime.
Errors
- When Nobuko's Wynaut was laying down with her other poisoned Pokémon, it was frowning. Wynaut are only capable of smiling, no matter what they're actually feeling.
- Wynaut was able to get poisoned despite having used Safeguard.
