Summary

English Official Summary

While Alexa is getting her video equipment repaired, Ash, Iris, and Cilan take some time off to have a relaxing lunch on shore. At least, that’s the plan, but the Pokémon keep getting into little squabbles over the food. Eventually Emolga unleashes its Discharge attack to zap everyone who’s annoying it, prompting a scolding from Iris. After lunch, Iris sees Emolga and Axew playing together, and asks Emolga to keep an eye on Axew for her. But when her back is turned, Axew disturbs a Galvantula and gets zapped! Emolga tries to help, but it runs into Axew by mistake, and Axew ends up with a nasty bump on its head. When Iris sees the bump—and the lingering electricity from Galvantula’s attack—she blames Emolga, who flies off in a huff... ...only to land right in the middle of a Team Rocket strategy meeting! After a sudden battle in which Emolga takes down Woobat and Yamask, then Frillish and Amoonguss, all without breaking a sweat, Jessie adopts a new strategy and invites Emolga to become part of Team Rocket! Iris is now worried about what happened to Emolga, and our heroes set off on a search. They find Emolga with Jessie, James, and Meowth, and the villains have gotten their hands on Axew as well. The sudden appearance of an angry Exploud gives Team Rocket cover to escape, and off they go. Our heroes need to find Team Rocket and get to the bottom of what’s going on, so Charizard and Dragonite go off to look for the villains. Soon, a nasty battle ensues, and although Meowth overhears Emolga’s plan—it’s only pretending to join them so it can get back at Iris for the earlier misunderstanding—Team Rocket still has that angry Exploud to exploit! More battling ensues, but Team Rocket, along with Exploud, are sent blasting off again. All this time, Axew has been trying to let Iris know what really happened with the Galvantula, and when she finally pays attention, she finds that she can understand what Axew is thinking! Iris realizes she’s made a huge mistake by accusing Emolga of something it didn’t do. After she apologizes, everything is forgiven and life gets back to normal. Cilan even speculates that Iris’s skill at understanding Axew’s thoughts could very well be another step on her path to becoming a Dragon Master!

French Official Summary

Pendant qu’Alexia fait réparer sa caméra, Sacha, Iris et Rachid en profitent pour aller déjeuner tranquillement sur le port. C’est du moins ce qu’ils auraient voulu, mais les Pokémon commencent à se disputer au sujet de la nourriture. Emolga lance un Coup d'Jus pour se défendre des Pokémon qui l’ennuient, et Iris la réprimande sévèrement. Après le déjeuner, Iris demande à Emolga de veiller sur son Coupenotte. Mais dès qu’elle a tourné le dos, Coupenotte dérange un Mygavolt et reçoit un choc électrique. Emolga veut le défendre, mais elle touche Coupenotte par erreur et il se retrouve avec une grosse bosse à la tête. Quand Iris voit que Coupenotte est blessé, elle gronde encore Emolga qui s’envole, très en colère. Elle atterrit au beau milieu d’une réunion stratégique de la Team Rocket. Après une bagarre pendant laquelle Emolga terrasse sans effort Chovsourir, Tutafeh, Viskuse et Gaulet, les membres de la Team Rocket décident de l’inviter à faire partie de leur équipe. À présent, Iris s’inquiète pour Emolga et nos héros partent à sa recherche. Ils la retrouvent en compagnie de Jessie, James et Miaouss qui ont aussi mis la main sur Coupenotte. Malheureusement, l’apparition d’un Brouhabam furieux permet à la Team Rocket de s’échapper. Nos héros doivent rattraper la Team Rocket et comprendre ce qui s’est passé. Dracaufeu et Dracolosse les y aident et Miaouss comprend quel était le plan d’Emolga. Elle faisait semblant d’être leur alliée à cause de la dispute avec Iris. Mais la Team Rocket compte encore sur l’aide du Brouhabam furieux. Bien entendu, après un combat acharné, ils sont envoyés dans les airs en compagnie du Brouhabam. Pendant ce temps, Coupenotte a essayé d’expliquer à Iris ce qui s’était réellement passé avec le Mygavolt. Enfin, elle comprend et décide de faire plus attention aux sentiments de Coupenotte. Et comme elle se rend compte qu’elle a été injuste avec Emolga en l’accusant à tort, elle lui fait des excuses ; la vie reprend son cours normal. Enfin, Rachid rassure Iris en lui affirmant que si elle arrive à comprendre ce que ressent Coupenotte, c’est certainement un grand pas vers le titre de Maître Dragon !

German Official Summary

Während Alba unterwegs ist, um ihre Video-Ausrüstung reparieren zu lassen, genießen Ash, Lilia und Benny ein entspanntes Essen an Land. Das hatten sie jedenfalls so geplant, als ihre Pokémon plötzlich anfangen, sich um das Essen zu streiten. Als Emolga daraufhin jedes Pokémon, das ihm auf die Nerven geht, mit einem Ladungsstoß angreift, weist Lilia es zurecht. Nach dem Essen spielen Emolga und Milza miteinander und Lilia bittet Emolga, Milza im Auge zu behalten. Aber als sie sich gerade wieder umgedreht hat, stört Milza die Ruhepause eines Voltulas und bekommt prompt einen Blitzschlag ab! Ohne lange zu fackeln, versucht Emolga, ihm zu helfen. Unglücklicherweise stößt es jedoch aus Versehen mit Milza zusammen und verpasst ihm so eine dicke fette Beule am Kopf. Als Lilia die Verletzung entdeckt und sie aufgrund der Restelektrizität auf Voltulas Attacke zurückführt, macht sie Emolga dafür verantwortlich, das daraufhin beleidigt abzieht… und unvermittelter Dinge mitten in ein Strategie-Meeting von Team Rocket platzt! Es kommt zum Kampf, in dem Emolga Fleknoil und Makabaja besiegt und dann auch noch Quabbel und Hutsassa, ohne dabei auch nur ins Schwitzen zu geraten! Daraufhin entwickelt Jessie umgehend eine neue Strategie und lädt Emolga dazu ein, ein Mitglied von Team Rocket zu werden! Lilia macht sich unterdessen Sorgen um Emolga und begibt sich mit Ash und Benny auf die Suche nach ihm. Sie finden Emolga, aber es ist mit Jessie, James und Mauzi zusammen. Zu allem Unglück haben die Schurken auch noch Milza in ihrer Gewalt! Doch dann taucht plötzlich ein wütendes Krawumms auf, das Team Rocket Deckung bietet, und weg sind sie! Unsere Helden müssen Team Rocket finden, außerdem wollen sie der Sache auf den Grund gehen und herausfinden, was da eigentlich los ist. Glurak und Dragoran machen sich sofort auf die Suche nach den Schurken. Als sie sie gefunden haben, beginnt ein hässlicher Kampf! Und obwohl Mauzi Emolga belauscht und erfahren hat, dass Emolga nur so tut, als würde es sich Team Rocket anschließen, um es Lilia heimzuzahlen, versucht Team Rocket nicht nur Emolga, sondern auch das wütende Krawumms für seine Zwecke einzuspannen! Doch Team Rocket muss sich schließlich mit Krawumms im Schlepptau auf seine altbewährte Art und Weise verabschieden. Die ganze Zeit über hat Milza versucht, Lilia begreiflich zu machen, was wirklich passiert ist: nämlich dass Voltula schuld an der ganzen Sache war. Als Lilia dann endlich mal richtig zuhört, stellt sich heraus, dass sie verstehen kann, wie Milza über die ganze Sache denkt! Augenblicklich wird Lilia klar, dass sie einen Riesenfehler gemacht hat. Sie hat Emolga die Schuld für etwas gegeben, was es nicht getan hat. Nachdem sie sich bei Emolga entschuldigt hat, ist alles vergeben und vergessen und das Leben läuft wieder in normalen Bahnen. Benny schlussfolgert, dass Lilias Fähigkeit, Milza zu verstehen, ein weiterer Schritt  auf dem Weg zu ihrem Ziel sein könnte, Drachen-Meisterin zu werden!

Italian Official Summary

Mentre Alexia sta facendo riparare la sua attrezzatura video, Ash, Iris e Spighetto si prendono un po’ di tempo libero per fare un piacevole picnic all’aria aperta. Quantomeno questa sarebbe la loro idea se non fosse per i Pokémon che continuano a bisticciare per il cibo e Emolga che lancia un attacco Scarica contro i compagni che lo infastidiscono, spingendo così Iris a rimproverarlo. Dopo pranzo, Iris vede Emolga e Axew giocare assieme e chiede a Emolga di tenere sotto’occhio Axew. Tuttavia non appena Iris si gira, Axew disturba un Galvantula che lo fulmina! Emolga prova ad aiutarlo ma va a sbattere per errore su Axew che ruzzola contro una roccia ritrovandosi con un brutto bernoccolo in testa. Non appena Iris vede il bernoccolo e la carica elettrica residua dell’attacco di Galvantula, dà la colpa a Emolga che scappa furente e finisce senza volerlo nel mezzo di una riunione strategica del Team Rocket! Dopo una lotta improvvisa in cui Emolga sconfigge Woobat, Yamask e anche Frillish e Amoonguss senza sforzo, Jessie prova a cambiare strategia e invita Emolga ad unirsi al Team Rocket! Iris è preoccupata per Emolga e i nostri eroi si mettono sulle sue tracce. Trovano il Pokémon con Jessie, James e Meowth ed i tre malfattori sono riusciti a catturare anche Axew! La comparsa improvvisa di un Exploud dà però l’occasione al Team Rocket di scappare. I nostri eroi devono trovare il Team Rocket e andare a fondo della vicenda e così Charizard e Dragonite si alzano in volo per cercare i cattivi. Ben presto scoppia un’agguerrita lotta e Meowth sente di nascosto il piano di Emolga: il Pokémon ha solo finto di unirsi al Team Rocket per vendicarsi del litigio di prima con Iris. Il Team Rocket riesce a sfruttare l’Exploud inferocito, ma finiscono per ripartire tutti alla velocità della luce. Per tutto questo tempo Axew ha provato a far capire a Iris che cosa fosse accaduto realmente con Galvantula e quando finalmente gli presta attenzione, Iris scopre che riesce a comprendere i pensieri di Axew! Iris si rende conto di avere sbagliato ad accusare Emolga per qualcosa che non aveva fatto e dopo essersi scusata, tutto viene perdonato e si ritorna alla normalità. Spighetto ipotizza che la capacità di Iris di capire i pensieri di Axew non sia altro che un passo in avanti nel diventare una Maestra Drago!

Portuguese Official Summary

Enquanto Alexa  vai levar seu equipamento de vídeo para consertar, Ash, Iris e Cilan tiram um tempo de folga para fazerem um almoço relaxante na praia. Pelo menos esse é o plano, mas os Pokémon começam uma pequena briga por causa da comida, e Emolga dispara seu Descarga para todos pararem, e é prontamente advertida por Iris. Após o almoço, Iris vê Emolga e Axew brincando juntos , e pede a Emolga para ficar de olho em Axew para ela. Mas quando ela dá as costas, Axew perturba um Galvantula e é atingido! Emolga tenta ajudar, mas ela acaba atingindo Axew por engano, e Axew termina com uma baita pancada na cabeça. Quando Iris vê a pancada e o persistente ataque de eletricidade de Galvantula, ela culpa Emolga, que sai de lá voando... Só aterrissando bem no meio de um encontro estratégico da Equipe Rocket! Depois de uma batalha repentina a qual Emolga é derrotada por Woobat e Yamask, depois por Frillish e Amoonguss, todos completamente exaustos, Jessie adota uma nova estratégia e convida Emolga para fazer parte da Equipe Rocket! Iris agora está preocupada com o que aconteceu a Emolga, e nossos heróis começam uma busca. Eles encontram Emolga com Jessie, James e Meowth, e os vilões já colocaram as mãos em Axew também! Mas de repente aparece um Exploud irritado que dá cobertura a Equipe Rocket, e eles vão embora. Nossos heróis precisam encontrar a Equipe Rocket e descobrir o que está acontecendo, então Charizard e Dragonite vão procurar pelos vilões. Logo, uma terrível batalha tem início, e apesar de Meowth escutar o plano de Emolga, ela só está fingindo que se uniu a eles para depois poder voltar para Iris por causa do mal-entendido - a Equipe Rocket ainda tem aquele Exploud para usar!  Mais batalhas se seguem, mas a Equipe Rocket,  juntamente com Exploud, são mandados pelos ares de novo! Todo esse tempo, Axew estava tentando avisar Iris do que realmente aconteceu com o Galvantula, e quando ela finalmente presta atenção, ela descobre que consegue entender o que Axew está pensando! Iris percebe que cometeu um grande erro acusando Emolga de algo que ela não fez. Depois ela se desculpa, tudo é perdoado e a vida volta ao normal. Cilan até especula que a habilidade de Iris de entender os pensamentos de Axew pode estar 1 passo a frente no caminho de se tornar uma Mestra de Dragões!

Finnish Official Summary

Alexan mennessä korjaamaan kuvauskalustoaan Ash, Iris ja Cilan jäävät rannalle lounastamaan rennosti. Tai se on ainakin suunnitelmissa Pokémonien kinastellessa ruoasta. Emolga täräyttää Dischargella kaikkia sitä ärsyttäviä ja saa torut Irisiltä.   Lounaan jälkeen Iris näkee Axew’n ja Emolgan leikkivän kahdestaan ja pyytää Emolgaa pitämään Axew’stä huolta. Mutta heti kun Iris kääntää selkänsä, Axew häiritsee Galvantulaa ja saa sähköiskun! Emolga yrittää auttaa, mutta törmää vahingossa Axew’hun, joka saa rumannäköisen kuhmun päähänsä. Kun Iris näkee kuhmun ja Galvantulan hyökkäyksestä jääneen sähköisyyden, hän syyttää Emolgaa, joka lähtee loukkaantuneena...  …ja päätyy keskelle Rakettiryhmän strategiapalaveria! Lyhyen ottelun jälkeen Emolgan voitettua Woobatin ja Yamaskin, sekä Frillishin ja Amoongussin sen kummemmin yrittämättä, Jessie kokeilee toisenlaista taktiikkaa ja pyytää Emolgaa Rakettiryhmän jäseneksi!   Iris on sillä välin huolissaan Emolgasta ja sankarimme lähtevät etsintäretkelle. Emolga löytyy Jessien, Jamesin ja Meowthin seurasta ja roistot ovat saaneet käsiinsä myös Axew’n! Yhtäkkiä ilmestynyt raivostunut Exploud antaa Rakettiryhmälle mahdollisuuden poistua paikalta.  Sankareidemme on löydettävä Rakettiryhmä ja selvitettävä asia pohjiaan myöten, joten Charizard ja Dragonite lähtevät roistojen perään. Pian vuorossa onkin ottelu. Vaikka Meowth onkin kuullut Emolgan suunnitelman, jonka mukaan se vain esittää liittyneensä Rakettiryhmään voidakseen näpäyttää Iristä, on Rakettiryhmällä edelleen hihassaan äreä Exploud! Ottelu sen kuin jatkuu, mutta lopulta Rakettiryhmä Exploudin kera lähetetään taas matkoihinsa.  Axew on yrittänyt kaiken aikaa kertoa Irisille mitä oikeasti tapahtui Galvantulan kanssa, ja kun hän vihdoin kiinnittää siihen huomiota, hän ymmärtää Axew’n ajatukset! Iris tajuaa tehneensä suuren virheen syyttämällä Emolgaa jostain, mitä se ei tehnyt. Irisin pyydettyä anteeksi kaikki on taas hyvin. Cilan arvelee jopa, että Irisin ymmärrys Axew’n ajatuksista on yksi askel lähemmäs kohti Lohikäärmemestaruutta!

Spanish Latin America Official Summary

Mientras Alexa lleva a reparar su equipo de video, Ash, Iris y Cilan se toman una pausa para tener un relajante almuerzo en la playa. Al menos ese es el plan, pero los Pokémon no dejan de reñir por la comida y Emolga da rienda suelta a su ataque Descarga para calmar a todos lo que lo están molestando, lo que le gana una reprimenda de Iris. Después de comer, Iris ve a Emolga y a Axew jugando juntos y le pide a Emolga que vigile a Axew por ella, pero cuando se voltea, ¡Axew molesta a un Galvantula y este lo ataca! Emolga trata de ayudar, pero tropieza con Axew por error y Axew termina con un horrible chichón en su cabeza. Cuando Iris ve el chichón, y la electricidad que quedó del ataque de Galvantula, culpa a Emolga, quien se va volando molesto. ¡Sólo para aterrizar justo en medio de una reunión de planeación estratégica del Equipo Rocket! Después de una repentina batalla donde Emolga derrota a Woobat y Yamask, y luego a Frillish y Amoonguss sin sudar siquiera, Jessie adopta una nueva estrategia e invita a Emolga a volverse parte del Equipo Rocket. Iris ahora está preocupada por lo que le sucedió a Emolga, ¡y nuestros héroes comienzan su búsqueda! Poco después encuentran a Emolga con Jessie y James, ¡y Meowth y los villanos ya han puesto sus manos en Axew también! Pero la repentina aparición de un furioso Exploud ayuda al Equipo Rocket a escapar. Nuestros héroes necesitan encontrar al Equipo Rocket y llegar hasta el fondo de lo que está pasando, así que Charizard y Dragonite salen a buscar a los villanos. Pronto se desata una terrible batalla, y aunque Meowth escucha el plan de Emolga (quien sólo está fingiendo unírseles para vengarse del malentendido que tuvo con Iris), ¡el Equipo Rocket aun así hace enfurecer al molesto Exploud! A esta le siguen más batallas, pero el Equipo Rocket, junto con Exploud, acaban derrotados de nuevo. Todo este tiempo, Axew ha estado intentando contarle a Iris lo que realmente sucedió con el Galvantula, ¡y cuando ella finalmente le pone atención, descubre que puede entender por lo que Axew está pensando! Iris se da cuenta de que cometió un grave error acusando a Emolga de algo que no hizo. Después de disculparse, todo es perdonado y la vida vuelve a la normalidad. ¡Cilan incluso especula que la capacidad de Iris de entender los pensamientos de Axew muy bien podría ser otro paso en su camino para convertirse en una Maestra Dragón!

Spanish Official Summary

Mientras que Alexia se marcha a arreglar el equipo de vídeo, Ash, Iris y Millo se toman un respiro para almorzar en la orilla. Al menos, ese es el plan, pero los Pokémon empiezan con pequeños enfrentamientos por la comida, y Emolga lanza su ataque Chispazo para dar una sacudida a todo aquel que la moleste, ganándose una regañina de Iris. Tras el almuerzo, Iris ve a Emolga y a Axew jugando juntos y le pide a Emolga que cuide de Axew. Pero, nada más darse la vuelta, Axew molesta a un Galvantula y recibe una descarga. Emolga intenta ayudarlo, pero choca contra Axew accidentalmente, y Axew termina con un desagradable chichón en la cabeza. Cuando Iris ve el chichón y los restos de electricidad del ataque del Galvantula, culpa a Emolga, que echa a volar enfurruñada, aterrizando en plena reunión de estrategia del Team Rocket. Tras un rápido combate, en el que Emolga derrota sin esfuerzo alguno a Woobat y a Yamask primero, y luego a Frillish y a Amoonguss, Jessie cambia de estrategia e invita a Emolga a formar parte del Team Rocket. Iris está preocupada por lo que haya podido pasarle a Emolga, y nuestros héroes parten a buscarla. Encuentran a Emolga con Jessie, James y Meowth, y resulta que los villanos también se han apoderado de Axew. Pero la aparición repentina de un Exploud furioso da un respiro al Team Rocket, y estos salen huyendo. Nuestros héroes necesitan encontrar al Team Rocket y llegar al fondo de lo que está pasando, por lo que Charizard y Dragonite salen en su búsqueda. Tiene lugar un desagradable combate, y Meowth escucha el plan de Emolga: solo está fingiendo unirse a ellos para vengarse de Iris por el malentendido que tuvo con ella. Pero el Team Rocket aún tiene al Exploud gruñón para sacarle partido. Se suceden los combates, pero el Team Rocket, junto con Exploud, son enviados a despegar de nuevo. Todo el tiempo, Axew ha estado intentando que Iris supiera lo que pasó en realidad con el Galvantula y, cuando ella por fin se concentra, descubre que puede percibir los pensamientos de Axew. Iris comprende que ha cometido un grave error al acusar a Emolga de algo que no hizo. Después de pedir perdón, todo se olvida, y la vida vuelve a la normalidad. Millo deduce que la habilidad de Iris para percibir los pensamientos de Axew podría, muy probablemente, ser otro paso en su camino para convertirse en Maestra Dragón.

Emolga probeert hem te helpen, maar hij botst per ongeluk tegen Axew op, waardoor Axew een bult op zijn kop krijgt.

Norwegian Official Summary

Mens Alexa får videokameraet sitt reparert tar Ash, Iris og Cilan litt fri for å ha en avslappende lunsj på land. Det er iallefall planen, men deres Pokémon havner stadig i krangler over maten, og Emolga slipper løs sitt Discharge-angrep mot alle som irriterer den, og får kjeft av Iris. Etter lunsj ser Iris at Emolga og Axew leker sammen og ber Emolga passe på Axew for henne. Men når hun har ryggen til forstyrrer Axew en Galvantula og får el-sjokk! Emolga prøver å hjelpe men løper på Axew ved et uhell og Axew ender opp med en stygg kul i hodet. Når Iris ser kulen og restene av elektrisiteten fra angrepet til Galvantula, skylder hun på Emolga som flyr avsted, sinna... ...bare for å lande midt oppi strategimøtet til Team Rocket! Etter en brå kamp hvor Emolga nedkjemper Woobat og Yamask, så Frillish og Amoonguss, alt uten å begynne å svette en gang, bruker Jessie en ny strategi og inviterer Emogla til å bli med i Team Rocket!  Nå begynner Iris å bekymre seg for hva som har skjedd med Emolga, og heltene våre begynner å lete. De finner Emolga sammen med Jessie, James og Meowth, og skurkene får tak i Axew også! Men plutselig dukker en Exploud opp og Team Rocket kommer seg unna!  Heltene våre må finne Team Rocket og finne ut hva det er som skjer, så Charizard og Dragonite drar for å lete etter skurkene. Snart utspinner en voldsom kamp seg, og selvom Meowth overhører Emolgas plan - den bare later som sånn at den kan ta igjen på Iris for den tidligere misforståelsen - så har Team Rocket enda den sinte Exploud å bruke! Flere kamper tar til, men Team Rocket, sammen med Exploud, blir blåst avsted igjen!  Hele denne tiden har Axew prøvd å få Iris til å forstå hva som egentlig skjedde med Galvantula, og når hun endelig fokuserer så oppdager hun at hun kan forstå hva Axew tenker! Iris forstår at hun har gjort en kjempetabbe ved å anklage Emolga for noe den ikke har gjort. Etter at hun ber om unnskyldning er alt tilgitt og livet går tilbake til normalt. Cilan spekulerer til og med i at Iris sine ferdigheter i å forstå Axews tanker kan være neste steg på hennes vei mot å bli en dragemester!

Swedish Official Summary

Medan Alexa får sin filmutrustning reparerad, unnar sig Ash, Iris och Cilan en härlig lunchstund på stranden! Det är i alla fall planen, men några av deras Pokémon håller hela tiden på och småbråkar om maten, och Emolga släpper loss sin attack Discharge mot alla som irriterar den, vilket leder till att Iris skäller på den. Efter lunchen ser Iris Emolga och Axew leka tillsammans och ber Emolga hålla ett öga på Axew åt henne. Men när hon vänder ryggen till råkar Axew störa en Galvantula och blir elchockad! Emolga försöker hjälpa till men den springer av misstag på Axew och det hela slutar med att Axew får en otäck bula i huvudet. När Iris ser bulan och den kvarvarande el-spänningen från Galvantulas attack, skyller hon på Emolga som ilsket flyger i väg… … bara för att råka landa mitt i Team Rockets strategimöte! Efter en spontan strid, där Emolga sänker Woobat och Yamask och sedan Frillish och Amonguss, utan någon större ansträngning, utvecklar Jessie en ny strategi och bjuder in Emolga som medlem i Team Rocket! Iris börjar nu oroa sig för vad som har hänt med Emolga, och våra hjältar ger sig av för att leta. De hittar Emolga tillsammans med Jessie, James och Meowth, och skurkarna har även lagt vantarna på Axew! Men en arg Explouds plötsliga uppdykande ger Team Rocket lite andrum och då sticker de iväg. Våra hjältar måste hitta Team Rocket och gå till botten med vad det är som händer, så Charizard och Dragonite ger sig iväg för att leta efter skurkarna. Snart följer en bitter strid; och även om Meowth råkar höra Emolgas plan; att den bara låtsas gå med i Team Rocket för att hämnas på Iris för det tidigare missförståndet; så har Team Rocket fortfarande den arga Exploud att ta till! Mer strid bryter ut, men Team Rocket, tillsammans med Exploud far iväg igen. Hela tiden har Axew försökt berätta för Iris vad som verkligen hände med Galvantula, och när hon äntligen lyssnar, upptäcker hon att hon kan förstå vad Axew tänker! Iris förstår att hon har gjort ett enormt misstag genom att anklaga Emolga för något den inte gjort! Efter att hon har bett om ursäkt, är allt förlåtet och livet återgår till det normala! Cilan menar till och med att Iris förmåga att kunna läsa Axews tankar, mycket väl kan vara ännu ett steg fram för henne, på hennes väg mot att bli Drak-mästare!

Danish Official Summary

Mens Alexa får sit videoudstyr repareret, holder Ash, Iris og Cilan fri og tager på en afslappende skovtur på land. Det er i det mindste planen, men deres Pokémon ryger hele tiden i totterne på hinanden over maden. Det får Emolga til at udløse et angreb med Discharge for at ramme alle, der irriterer den, hvorfor den bliver skældt ud af Iris. Da Iris efter frokosten ser Emolga og Axew lege sammen, beder hun Emolga om at se efter Axew for hende. Men da hun vender ryggen til, kommer Axew til at forstyrre en Galvantula og bliver angrebet! Nu forsøger Emolga at hjælpe, men kommer til at ramme Axew ved et uheld, så Axew får en stor bule i hovedet. Da Iris ser bulen – og resterne af de elektriske ladninger fra Galvantulas angreb – giver hun Emolga skylden, hvorefter den fornærmet flyver sin vej… … kun for at lande lige midt i Team Rockets strategimøde! Efter en kamp, hvor Emolga ubesværet vinder over først Woobat og Yamask, så Frillish og Amoonguss, skifter Jessie strategi og tilbyder Emolga at blive en del af Team Rocket! Imens er Iris blevet urolig for, hvad der er sket med Emolga, så vore helte tager ud for at lede efter den. Snart finder de Emolga sammen med Jessie, James og Meowth, og nu har skurkene også fået fingrene i Axew! Men da en meget sur Exploud pludselig dukker op, øjner Team Rocket chancen, og væk er de. Da vore helte vil finde Team Rocket for at fine ud af, hvad der egentlig er sket, tager Charizard og Dragonite ud for at lede efter skurkene. Snart følger en voldsom lille kamp, og selvom Meowth kommer til at høre Emolga fortælle om sin plan – at den kun lader som om, den er gået over til dem, for at gøre gengæld over for Iris for den tidligere misforståelse – har Team Rocket stadig den sure Exploud i bagærmet! Nu følger flere kampe, men Team Rocket, sammen med Exploud, sendes snart ud at suse af sted igen. Imens har Axew forsøgt at fortælle Iris, hvad der i virkeligheden skete med Galvantula, og da hun endelig hører efter, opdager hun, at hun kan forstå, hvad Axew tænker! Iris indser nu, at hun begik en stor fejl, da hun beskyldte Emolga for noget, som den ikke havde gjort. Da hun siger undskyld, bliver alt tilgivet, og alle er gode venner igen. Cilan spekulerer endda på, om Iris’ evne til at forstå Axews tanker mer endnu et skridt på vejen mod at blive Dragemester!

Having been scolded by Iris due to an accidental misunderstanding, Emonga transfers over to the Rocket Gang! They then attack Satoshi and friends, and end up abducting Kibago! What will happen now!?

Summary:
As they wait around for their ship's departure later that evening, Satoshi and friends relax with a picnic out in the meadows. During the picnic, Iris misinterprets the situation a bit, and severely scolds Emonga. It flies of in a huff, but loses its balance mid-flight, and falls to the ground right next to the Rocket Gang. During its resulting battle against Musashi and Kojiro's Pokémon, Emonga wins over them with just a single use of 'Attract'.

After this overwhelming victory, the Rocket Gang urges Emonga to join them. Emonga isn't completely opposed to the idea, so is it really going to work with them...!?

After an episode without Rocket Gang, we get a lethal dose of them. But it was somehow expected considering the episode title. And it was also expected that noone is in fact joining anyone, since this is just one of THOSE episodes. Well, it is just an episode about a misunderstanding and language barrier between humans and Pokémon. And one female Pokémon who just gets upset because... well, because she is misunderstood.

The outcome is way too obvious, despite the desperate attempts at randomness in this episode. Like... completely pissing off a sleeping Exploud by hitting it with a stray energy-ball-ish attack.

Rocket Gang's role is very unbalanced in this episode. At first all their Pokémon just get completely beaten into a round square by just one little floating squirrel. Later in the episode they go extremely far to take revenge on the attention-whoring Emolga by capturing it into a cage together with an even more pissed-off Exploud. An exploud against which Emolga and Kibago stand no chance. That scene was a bit cruel. And while they were at it, why didn't they just grab the Exploud they had successfully obtained and blast off to give it to their Sakaki-sama instead? Bringing a fully evolved powerful beast could get them much more praise than just some little yellow rat.

The bright side of this episode is that there might be a bit of character development concerning Iris and her Pokémon. Also, since when can regular trainers share information telepathically with non-psychic Pokémon? This would better not get forgoten in the following episodes.

My rating:
An almost filler episode with way too much Rocket Gang and an outcome predictable right from the very beginning. Some scenes were a bit unusual (Snivy and Emolga insulting each other in such a way that even the worst criminal refused to translate that.) but I think this episode was somehow boring and redundant.
I give it 5.
You would totally like to be a tree.
