Farewell Unova! Setting Sail Once Again!!

After the Team Plasma escapades, Ash decides to return to Kanto with Iris and Cilan wanting to go there to continue their quests to be Dragon Master and Pokémon Connoisseur respectively. Following Juniper's suggestion, Ash & Co. decide to take a ferry which goes through the Decolora Islands. However, when they get on the ferry, they soon learn that everything is not as it seems when simple doors refuse to open. It turns out Team Rocket are in command of the ship...

The episode starts of with Ash on Reshiram and now Iris is on Zekrom. Zekrom zaps Ash and Ash wakes up at Professor Junipers Lab along with the others.

Team Rocket are on a video chat to Giovanni and are apparently going back to their old ways?

Ash is talking to Oak via video chat as well and Oshawott comes out. Muk smothers Oak again. Juniper is kind of confused about that.

Ash and co. arrive at the docking port, thanks to Junipers driving.

James is in an old man disguise and bumps into Juniper and she drops the groups tickets. He then contacts Jessie.

They can't get onboard or something, according to Parker, but Jessie and James allow them on another ship or different rooms, I'm not sure.

They give their Pokeballs to Team Rocket and now Axew and Pikachu are running with Jessie, but Jessie's getting annoyed and drops a Pokeball, which so happens to be Oshawott's and Oshawott comes out again.

James shows them to their rooms.

I think Jessie did something to the Pokeballs, or Pikachu and Axew, or both.

Dare Da? Muk.

Oshawott wanders around and stumbles upon something, he eavesdrops on Team Rocket's plan and looks angry.

Ash and co. are locked in their room. Cilan gives it a try, but he's unsuccessful.

Axew can't open the door to his room, to go outside. Pikachu is going down a slide, realises what Axew is doing and tries to help.

Oshawott comes out of hiding and runs away from Team Rocket. He uses Razor Shell on the controls and the doors get unlocked.

Ash and co. are running and come across Oshawott's Pokeball. Ash meets with Pikachu again and Pikachu leads the way to Axew and the other Pokeballs.

Oshawott is cornered by Team Rocket, but Ash and co. finally find Oshawott and he walks over to them. Team Rocket's motto, not the animation they used a lot lately.

Oshawott and Amoonguss come out and so does Excadrill. Excadrill makes a hole in the ship and is pushed back up to the boat from the water. Excadrill and Oshawott are returned. Amoonguss blocks the hole, but it's too much and they blast off again, leaving behind the real tickets.

Cilan realises that they might be too late, but they end up making it on time. Parker introduces himself to Ash and co. before they look off at the islands in the distance and that's it.

[Aura Flare Riolu]

That was an interesting start. Ash on Reshiram and Iris on Zekrom. But it was only a dream. XD

___
Iris you're an idiot for using Dig ON A SHIP!

[Pepsi_Plunge]

The opening was nice but it only showed Pikachu, Bulbasaur from Satoshi, Pansage from Dent and Axew from Iris but I liked the song.

Druidigon belongs to Clair.

Purrloin to Parker.

---

Iris wants to go to Kanto to meet Kanto Dragon Types, Iris you have it already its Dragontite.


Seems like Araragi said she is sending Satoshi pokemon to Oak, Oshawott doesn't want to go(I think), don't tell me Satoshi is really just doing DA with Oshawott and Pikachu ;O and there is Muk raping Oak and Oshawott being shocked, hes going to stay away from Muk when he goes to the lab for sure lol.

[Royal_Qeca]

So here it is. Ash's Muk appeared during the Oak scene as predicted.

Now, to the boat!

[The Great Butler]

I'm out, see you guys in XY.

[Serebii]

Team Rocket are on a video chat to Giovanni and are apparently going back to their old ways?

Best not to assume. We've been going through this same song and dance like 5 times since BW started. It always seems that way, then it's evident that it's not, and then this again.

Well.. there is still Dratini and Dragonair but that's pretty derpy for her to say that since they're the only dragon types in Kanto

[Doryuzu]

Welp, the gang falls for TR's Pokemon stealing trick.

[The Great Butler]

It's never been this explicit, all over the opening in addition to everything else.

I gave up after 10 minutes. I literally couldn't stand to watch anymore.

[Pepsi_Plunge]

I was joking now all the "japanese" and probably even the american pokemon will be there.

I'm out, see you guys in XY.

Its not like TR will stop being in episode doing the same thing in XY so migth aswell quit it all together.

But the TR nonesnse just started now, the first 10 minutes were nice, we got the kids setting goals, Oak and Muk, Araragi talking, Satoshi dreaming about riding Reshiram but yeah its pissing me off already, this is turning into an old DP/AG episode as expected.

[The Great Butler]

If XY doesn't bring anything new to the table I just might.

[realarcastform]

Looks like James has a most convincing costume compared to Jessie's.
There's quite a lot of fluff in this episode.
Who's That Pokemon- Muk!
Ash and gang are locked in the room, talk about a stand still turn of events.
Thank you Oshawott for pushing the plot forward.
And... finally the battle with TR.
Woobat, why can't you evolve? Well at least it's gotten better.
Oh crap, a hole in the boat.
Well at least TR blasted off.
Now they found their real boat.

[Pepsi_Plunge]

If XY doesn't bring anything new to the table I just might.

I did in AG because of TR, came back in DP because I though Shinji vs Satoshi was fun and then BW was actually fun, till probably now, they wont make TR the main region villans two rgions in a row and we know they won't get rid of them so yeah, they will be old TR in XY.

[Doryuzu]

Mijumaru is about to make a monkey outta Team Rocket....I'm not happy....

[Pepsi_Plunge]

Oshawott saving the day

Hey there is a pokemon playroom but just for Pikachu and Axew.

[Doryuzu]

Oshawott saving the day

At least it's nice to see him being competent and less silly.


Iris uses Dig on a boat......it's sinking.....:P

TR get sent blasting off......

[The Great Butler]

And you'll see it getting eaten up even if it ends up being nothing but Gyms divided by long stretches of the same episode rehashed again and again, just like DP was.

To think I thought the early N episodes were bad. This actually hurt to watch, and not even just because of TR.
