Blurb

Serena’s Pokémon Showcase routine hits a snag when her Pancham accidentally breaks Braixen’s treasured branch! The hunt is on for a replacement branch, although Braixen doesn’t seem to like any of the alternatives. Maybe a trip to a tree surgeon can help—or cause Braixen to branch out in other ways!

• The ribbon that Serena uses to decorate Braixen's new wand was first shown in Roaring All-Stars.

Errors

Dub edits
