Pokémon - Season 17 (2013)

At Dr. Platane's research lab, Serena has to choose between Harimaron, Fokko, and Keromatsu for her first Pokémon. After learning about the three with her new Pokédex, she tells the professor she made her choice even before she got there. It's Fokko. Meanwhile, our heroes are on their way to Hakudan City for Satoshi's first Gym battle, and Eureka is demonstrating just how much she loves to take care of Pokémon. She gives Pikachu a bath, then helps Yayakoma clean its wings. The two Pokémon are happily settling in for some snacks when the Dedenne our heroes encountered ...

Our heroes have finally arrived in Santalune City, and Ash can't wait to get on with his first Kalos region Gym battle! Clemont and Bonnie aren't sure of the Gym's location, but a photographer offers them directions. Thanks to her, they quickly find the Santalune Gym, where they run into Alexa and Helioptile! Alexa figured they would be there to challenge her Gym Leader sister soon, so she waited for them. The Gym Leader herself arrives: it's Viola, the photographer they met earlier! After a tour of the Gym, which contains a gallery of some of Viola's excellent ...

After his defeat at the Hakudan City Gym, Satoshi is having doubts that he can defeat Gym Leader Viola in a rematch. But Serena reminds him that he's always been determined not to give up until it's over. This snaps Satoshi out of his self-doubt and inspires him to do some serious training with Pikachu and Yayakoma against Pansy's Onvern. Standing up to Onvern's Gust is hard work, but soon Satoshi feels like they're ready. He also has an idea about how to deal with the ice battlefield if Viola uses that trick again, but he's not telling. Since they also had trouble ...

Satoshi, Citron, and Eureka convince Serena to join them on their travels! She returns a handkerchief Satoshi lent her long ago at summer camp, and he finally remembers her as the girl in the straw hat. He used his handkerchief to wrap up her knee after she hurt it in a fall, and she's kept it ever since! They're still reminiscing when they're interrupted by a rumbling roar, and then see several Sihorn, with riders on their backs, pounding toward them! Apparently the track they're walking along is really a Sihorn racecourse--and the race is in full swing! Officer ...

Our heroes arrive in a town where they spot a beautifully styled Pokémon called a Trimmien. Suddenly, another Trimmien comes bounding out from a bush and knocks Eureka down, but this Trimmien is very unstylish. We then meet its Trainer--a young girl named , who informs them that her Trimmien won't let her style it or even brush it, because it hasn't yet recognized Jessica as its partner. Wanting to make up for accidently knocking Eureka down, Jessica invites our heroes to the shop of celebrated Pokémon groomer Barry, where she works. Everyone is amazed at the shop and...

As our heroes arrive in Miare City, Satoshi and Serena look around in awe, while Citron and Eureka seem a little nervous. The impressive Prism Tower catches Serena's eye, and Satoshi tells her about his attempt to challenge the Miare Gym inside it--an attempt that was shut down by a robot who threw him out because he didn't have four Kalos Gym badges. Citron and Eureka try to get them moving when someone pulls up beside them--it's Limone, Citron and Eureka's father. Limone reveals that Citron is the Miare City Gym Leader. Citron explains that the Gym was taking up too...

As long as our heroes are in Miare City, Serena suggests they visit Dr. Platane before they continue their journey--and she's made a batch of delicious macarons for the occasion. At the doctor's lab, they settle in with a nice cup of tea, only to discover the macarons are missing. They find the basket of treats in a corner, guarded by a very hungry Harimaron who isn't interested in sharing. Meanwhile, the Rocket-Dan has been researching Dr. Platane's studies on Mega Evolution, and the villains decide stealing his data would be a big boost to their schemes. They break ...

During a lunch break on their way to Shoyo City, our heroes are being spied on. Yes, the Rocket-Dan is lurking, but so are two adorable Yancham. Serena offers them some Pokémon food, but they're not satisfied until they gobble up all of it--and our heroes' lunch, as well. There's no time to react, because the Rocket-Dan takes advantage of the confusion to net Pikachu, Harimaron, Fokko, and Keromatsu and speed away. Musashi, Kojiro, and Nyarth have grand visions of how the Boss will reward them for this impressive haul, but they quickly get into a fight about who ...

On the road to Shoyo City, our heroes are forced to leap out of the way when a truck barrels down on them, with Officer Junsa in close pursuit. When the dust clears, Satoshi and friends spot a cage that fell off the truck, and a weary Kofukimushi that crawls out and collapses. They scoop it up and take it to the nearest Pokémon Center, where Officer Junsa finds them--and tries to arrest Satoshi for being an accomplice in stealing the Kofukimushi. The misunderstanding is quickly sorted out. Officer Junsa explains that she's on the trail of Daz, a Pokémon smuggler who ...

As Satoshi, Serena, Citron, and Eureka continue their journey, they meet a young woman named Premier who challenges Satoshi to a battle right there in the forest. Premier wants Satoshi to come with her if she beats him, which makes Serena a little nervous...and her partner for the battle is Nymphia, a Pokémon Satoshi hasn't seen before. Satosih is extra excited when Citron tells him Nymphia is a Fairy-type Pokémon. Keromatsu does its best, but Nymphia easily defeats it with a devastating combo of Attract and Draining Kiss, leaving Keromatsu embarrassed and sulky. ...

Our heroes and the Rocket-Dan all seek shelter from a downpour in an old, abandoned mansion. When lights come on and doors close behind them, they're convinced the mansion is haunted. Our heroes encounter a mysterious being with glowing eyes, and Satoshi, Serena, and Citron are terrified--but Eureka runs after it and ends up making a new friend: a Psychic-type Pokémon named Nyasper. Nyasper has been responsible for all the strange happenings in the house, and it's keeping them from leaving for some reason. Nyasper shows her the pendant it's wearing, and points out the...

On their way to Shoyo City, our heroes camp out for the night. Citron makes dinner, and for dessert, Serena brings out a basket full of her homemade macarons. But the basket is empty, and Citron discovers that his Harimaron has eaten them all...again. Citron tries to get Harimaron to battle Satoshi's Keromatsu for some exercise. But Harimaron is completely stuffed and moving slowly, and Keromatsu beats it easily. Eureka challenges them next, and Dedenne wins in a flash. Citron is determined to get his Pokémon ready for battle again. The next morning, Harimaron wakes ...

As our heroes continue their journey to the Shoyo City Gym, they stop at a Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joi declares all their Pokémon are in perfect health. A Trainer named Rena and her young sister Rimu are there as well. When our heroes prepare to leave, Eureka accidentally grabs the wrong bag, but doesn't realize it until later, when she looks inside. Dedenne is gone, and in its place? A Pichu. Realizing Eureka grabbed the wrong bag, our heroes go back to the Pokémon Center and Nurse Joi recalls the "little girl with the red ribbon in her hair", so off they go in ...

During our heroes' journey to Shoyo City, Satoshi and Keromatsu meet a young ninja named Sanpei and his Gekogashira. Satoshi challenges them to a battle, and Gekogashira defeats Keromatsu with an impressive Quick Attack. Sanpei is about to take his leave when Satoshi asks him for some special training--he's never seen anything like Gekogashira's Quick Attack, and wants Sanpei to teach Keromatsu how it's done. Sanpei agrees, and Keromatsu enters ninja training--and thanks to Serena's costume skills, Eureka, Dedenne, and Pikachu get to play ninja too. After Sanpei takes...

On their way to Shoyo City, our heroes make a stop in Koboku Town, where they encounter a Kabigon sleeping in the middle of town, snoring so loudly that the noise is unbearable. Every year at the end of the harvest, Kabigon comes to clear out the roots from the town's crops. Kabigon gets to eat its fill of tasty roots, and the townspeople get their fields plowed in the process. Afterward, they throw a Harvest Festival, and the Lord of Shobonne Castle plays the Pokémon Flute--the only thing that can wake Kabigon up after a big meal. But this year he's refusing to ...

As the Rocket-Dan is plotting yet again to steal Pikachu, they are interrupted by two mysterious figures: a hooded woman known only as Madame X, and Calamanero, a Pokémon with incredible hypnotic powers. Musashi and Kojiro fall under its spell, but Nyarth manages to escape--and runs right into our heroes. Satoshi, Serena, Citron, and Eureka help get the injured Nyarth back on his feet, and he warns them that Madame X and Calamanero are coming for Pikachu. And that's just what happens, as the two show up along with the mind-controlled Musashi and Kojiro, swoop Pikachu ...

On their way to Shoyo City, our heroes meet Nikola and Tesla, two brothers who introduce them to the incredible Battle Chateau. Its owner, Lord Ikkon, explains that the Trainers who battle there are considered knights and expected to adhere to the knight's code of chivalry and honor. By defeating others at the Battle Chateau, a Trainer receives a title of nobility--from the lowly Baron to the acclaimed Grand Duke. Nikola has already earned his Baron title, and he wants to introduce Tesla to the Chateau. First, though, he's looking for a battle of his own--and when his...

A visit by our heroes to an amazing aquarium turns out to reveal the stuff of legends.

In Kojin Town, our heroes run into the journalist Pansy, who's working on an article about an amazing discovery at the Fossil Lab. She invites Satoshi, Serena, Citron, and Eureka to come with her, and they all check out the lab's collection of fossils from Pokémon that lived long ago and are now extinct. The fossils aren't the amazing discovery, though--the researchers take our heroes into a special frozen habitat inside the lab, where they meet a living Amarus and Amaruruga that were restored from fossils discovered in the ice. After they leave, the Rocket-Dan swoops...

Satoshi and friends have finally made it to Shoyo City, where they head straight for the Gym so Satoshi can challenge Zakuro for his second badge. But first, Zakuro has a challenge for Satoshi: scaling a tall rock wall to reach the battlefield at the top. Serena, Citron, and Eureka take the elevator up, but Satoshi decides to meet the challenge and make the climb. Impressed, Zakuro brings out his Iwark, and Satoshi counters with Keromatsu. It quickly becomes apparent that the special training has paid off, because Keromatsu manages to escape from Iwark's frightening ...

Serena shows off her baking skills with a batch of Poké Puffs, sweet treats made especially for Pokémon!

When a tiny and sad-looking Pokémon lands in Eureka's hair, our heroes are determined to find out what's wrong. Its Trainer, Grey, explains that the little Flabébé has a special bond with his wife, Hannah. She recently became ill, and when Flabébé tried to visit her in the hospital, a passing car blew its flower away. Without its flower, Flabébé is growing weak, but it won't accept just any flower as a replacement--it needs a Fairy Flower, and those are hard to find. Our heroes set out in search of the flower, "assisted" by the Rocket-Dan in tour-guide disguises. ...

Satoshi, Serena, Citron, and Eureka meet Carnet, the Champion of the Kalos region. Dr Platane is on the scene as well, doing research on Carnet's Sirnight and its Mega Evolution.

Following yet another unsuccessful attempt to grab Pikachu, the Rocket-Dan comes up with a new plan: dress up like Satoshi, Serena, and Eureka, and run around town, wreaking havoc everywhere. When our heroes arrive in town, they learn of the strange goings-on and promise Officer Junsa they will stay out of trouble while she investigates. Meanwhile, Musashi and Kojiro, now disguised as scientists, have lured Citron away from the others and coaxed him into helping them with a couple of their robots. The next day, using the robots, they grab Pikachu and make their ...

Continuing their journey to Shalour City, our heroes are approached by an energetic Trainer named Korrina. She challenges Ash to a battle, hoping to extend her winning streak to 99 in a row-and succeeds!

Along with Shara Gym Leader Corni, our heroes have arrived in Sekitai Town to search for the Lucarionite, the Mega Stone needed for Lucario's Mega Evolution. A photographer points them to a cave deep within the mountains, but warns them it might be dangerous. Sure enough, when they get to the cave, the Rocket-Dan trio come flying out, propelled by some unseen force. But Corni is determined, and our heroes follow her into the cave. Inside, they do find the Lucarionite - and it's guarded by a powerful Bursyamo, which challenges Corni and Lucario to a battle. It's a bad ...

As our heroes watch in amazement, Corni's Lucario finally Mega Evolves. Satoshi challenges Mega Lucario to a battle on the spot, and Corni excitedly agrees. But something seems to be wrong with Lucario--it completely loses control of itself, ignoring its Trainer's commands and flying into a rage. It's about to unleash a savage attack on an exhausted Pikachu when Concombre sends out his own Lucario to stand in the way. At the Pokémon Center, Concombre expresses concern about Lucario's violent reaction to Mega Evolution, and challenges Corni to a battle against his own ...

On their way to Must Mountain for Corni's special training, our heroes enter a winding cave where they encounter a swarm of agitated Onbat--stirred up by the Rocket-Dan trio in one of their schemes. In the confusion, the friends get separated: Satoshi, Serena, Eureka, and Lucario end up at one entrance to the cave, while Citron, Corni, and Pikachu are at the other. The villains take advantage of the opportunity to strike against Citron's group, and thanks to the "Mecha Evolution" devices attached to the Rocket-Dan Pokémon, they quickly get the upper hand. Meanwhile, ...

Our heroes have arrived in Shara City, but the Gym is inside Master Tower, which sits on an island with no apparent way to get there. Corni comes to meet them and advises patience, which gives Satoshi some extra time to train. His Pokémon have really picked up on Tierno's rhythmic battle style, but it seems Satoshi doesn't quite have the dancing skills to pull it off. Low tide reveals the path to the island, and our heroes cross, eager for a Gym battle--but first, Concombre has a history lesson for them. He tells how one of his ancestors discovered Mega Evolution ...

After a quick lesson, Satoshi is ready to try it himself, and accepts a challenge from Nami and her Fiarrow. Satoshi's Yayakoma wants to battle, but Fiarrow wants a tougher opponent: Luchabull! So Yayakoma is forced to sit out--along with Eureka, who's told she's too small to participate. Luchabull is at a disadvantage, since it can glide but not truly fly. It puts up a good fight, but ...

Our heroes are now tied for the most points with their new friends in ...

It's time for Pokémon Orienteering at Dr Platane's Pokémon summer camp. Our heroes in Team Keromatsu and their friends in Team Zenigame are neck and neck when a thick fog rolls in, separating Eureka and Pikachu from everyone else. Tierno, Trova, and Sana decide to put the race on hold to help Satoshi, Serena, and Citron find them.

Satoshi's Shara City Gym battle against Corni is under way. As his Luchabull faces off against her Kojofu, he tries to use the rhythmic battle style he learned from Tierno, but it's not going so well. Finally, he remembers Serena's observation that he has his own unique style, and decides to battle like himself instead. With this change of tactics, Luchabull wins, and then Satoshi sends in Hinoyakoma to take down Corni's Goriky.
