Synopsis

Template:Incomplete synopsis Brock leads Ash and Misty toward a beautiful lake he has read about in his guidebook, but when they arrive at its supposed location, they find nothing but a dried-up stream, surrounded by a number of thirsty Slowpoke. Ash and friends spot a King's Rock, but are stopped from approaching it by a young girl whose name is Alice and her Slowpoke, Arthur. Alice explains that she and her dad are researching legends surrounding the Slowpoke and a supposed Slowking.

Trivia

  • This is the last episode to use hand-colored cel animation outside of Japan.
  • This episode is probably based on the legend of The Sword in the Stone, in which many knights tried to draw a magical sword from an anvil, but only one, Arthur, succeeded and became King. Additionally, the Slowpoke that becomes Slowking is named Arthur.
  • Brock is shown willingly "opening" his eyes for the first time.

Errors

  • Team Rocket blasts off twice, but at the second time, a strip-repeat was evident; in the first blast off Jessie's Arbok and James's Weezing were outside of their Poké Balls, while the second time, despite neither being out, both are there.
  • When the group enters the Slowpoke's Paradise, the marks under Larvitar's eyes are gone.
