==Synopsis==
[[Officer Jenny]] arrives and her Tangela brings the gang and the woman outside. She brings them to the Pokémon Center where [[Nurse Joy]] sees the situation. A older man (which Jenny introduces them as Prof. Jacuzzi) says that once again the Gulpin population is rising. The Gulpin each year go to eat everything and Prof. Jacuzzi thinks they are headed for the center of town. Jacuzzi already has a plan to stop them, but the Gulpin go already. On the bridge, the gang, with Officer Jenny, wait for Gulpin as they arrive. Jacuzzi launches a rocket, revealing a giant PokéBlock for Gulpin.

''The kids and a local shopkeeper are accosted by a large group of Gulpin. Officer Jenny saves them, bringing the friends back to the Pokémon Center. They meet Nurse Joy and Professor Jacuzzi, who are working to stop the Gulpin from eating all of the town's food supplies.''
The PokéBlock attracts Gulpin and Jacuzzi presses a button - the PokéBlock flies away, so do the Gulpin as well. However, Team Rocket takes the PokéBlock, saying it is theirs. However, Gulpin attack the balloon using Sludge to get them down. Next thing, they use Stockpile, blasting Team Rocket off and releasing the PokéBlock. [[Brock (anime)|Brock]] catches the PokéBlock, but Gulpin go after it, so Jenny releases Meganium, Tangela and Parasect. Tangela uses Vine whip, Meganum Razor Leaf and Parasect Stun Spore to hold the Gulpin off. [[Ash]] sends [[Ash's Scpetile|Treecko]]. Gulpin use Sludge, but Treecko evades and uses Bullet Seed, hurting the Gulpin.

''The professor's first plan involves a giant PokéBlock to lead the Gulpin away. Team Rocket tries to steal the PokéBlock, but their balloon is shot down by the Gulpin. The Gulpin follow the PokéBlock out of town.''
Jacuzzi presses the button - the PokéBlock goes away (as the jet-pack is attached to it), so Gulpin leave to it. Team Rocket is hungry, but [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] spots Gulpin leaving, so they will go to Gulpin in search for food. During the night, another signal is heard and the lights go off - an underground cable was cut, so Joy switches to a backup generator. The Gulpin are headed for the center again, with Team Rocket following them. Nurse Joy presses a button to seal the gates, forcing the Gulpin to go above ground. Gulpin go above ground, so Jenny sends her Pokémon to battle.

May goes to grab a sandwich, but a Pokémon takes it before she does. The Pokémon gulps Max, Ash and Brock's food and even spits out Pikachu's dish. The heroes are surprised how Gulpin ate all of their food, but May remarks it looks cute. A distress signal is heard, as everyone must evacuate from their homes. Some moments later, the heroes walk the streets and do not see a single person nearby. Suddenly, a woman screams, as the Gulpin are eating her bread supply. [[Ash's Pikachu]] comes to help, but the Gulpin overwhelm him. Ash pulls Pikachu out, who has fainted, while more Gulpin fall from the vents.

Brock is amazed Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy are working together, making him blush, but Max prepares to punish him. Ash notices this looks like a different Pokémon Center and is told it is a "Gulpin Defense Center". An older man, whom Jenny introduces them as Prof. Jacuzzi, points out the Gulpin population is rising once again. The Gulpin each year eat everything and Prof. Jacuzzi is certain they are headed for the center of town, where they would eat the rest of the food this town has. Jacuzzi already has a plan to stop them, but the Gulpin are going towards the town's center. On the bridge, the heroes, with Officer Jenny, wait for the Gulpin, who are coming. Jacuzzi launches a rocket, revealing a giant PokéBlock for Gulpin. The PokéBlock attracts Gulpin, who are trying to eat it.

This causes the PokéBlock to fall down, and as [[Brock (anime)|Brock]] catches the PokéBlock, Gulpin go after it. Officer Jenny sends Meganium, Tangela and Parasect: Tangela uses Vine whip, Meganium Razor Leaf and Parasect Stun Spore to hold the Gulpin off. [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] sends [[Ash's Sceptile|Treecko]], who dodges Gulpin's Sludge and uses Bullet Seed, hurting the Gulpin. Jacuzzi presses a button for the PokéBlock to fly off, with the Gulpin following it. The heroes are glad the Gulpin are gone, but Jenny is certain they will return. Team Rocket is wandering and are hungry, but [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] spots Gulpin leaving, who ate the PokéBlock. Team Rocket decides to go after Gulpin in search for food. During the night, another signal is heard and the lights go off. Nurse Joy reports an underground cable was cut and switches to a backup generator. The Gulpin are headed for the town's center, with Team Rocket following them. Nurse Joy presses a button to seal the gates, forcing the Gulpin to go above ground. Jacuzzi is uncertain what to do, since the Gulpin won't fall for the PokéBlock trick twice.

  +
The Gulpin emerge from the sewers, so Jenny sends her Pokémon to battle. Officer Jenny's Tangela, Meganium and Parasect, along with Ash's Pikachu, attack. Nevertheless, more Gulpin are going towards them and are forming a line. Professor Jacuzzi arrives and activates a machine, so Gulpin disappear in a purple light, as Jacuzzi fires the Gulpin out of his vehicle, via a cannon. More and more Gulpin are absorbed to be fired away, amazing the heroes by this plan. One is left and as Jacuzzi goes to fire the beam, the machine stops working. The Gulpin is trying to go away, but Ash sends Treecko to battle it. Treecko uses Bullet Seed, but collides with Gulpin's Sludge attack. Jacuzzi has enabled the machine to work, while Treecko uses Pound. At same time, Jacuzzi fires his cannon. Inside the machine, Gulpin attacks with Stockpile and Spit Up, so the machines are broken. Jacuzzi attempts to repair, but the machine is destroyed. Two purple lights emerge; Gulpin and Treecko are freed, but are the size of buildings.

May fears they evolved, but Max assures her they didn't. Jacuzzi explains Gulpin's attack affected the machines, causing this error. Gulpin moves, so Treecko comes to stop it. People evacuate the area and as Treecko throws away Gulpin, Gulpin retaliates with Sludge. Per Ash's order, Treecko throws Gulpin in the lake. Team Rocket are going away with food they got, but when Gulpin flies over them, it attacks with Stockpile and Spit Up, blasting them off and dropping their food down. Gulpin uses Stockpile and attacks with Spit Up, but Treecko dodges the attack. As Treecko dodges, he shrinks down to his normal size. Ash calls Treecko back, but Gulpin tries to go into the town again. May proposes to catching it, for despite its size, Gulpin still is a Pokémon. Jacuzzi throws his Poké Ball, but Gulpin frees itself immediately.

Instead, Nurse Joy gives Jacuzzi a Heavy Ball, while Brock points out it is perfect to catch heavy Pokémon. Jacuzzi throws the Heavy Ball and captures Gulpin. Brock wonders if Gulpin would be still oversized, but Jacuzzi says that it shrinks to its own size. He sends it out, but soon calls it back, since it is still enormous. Nevertheless, Jacuzzi promises to work on returning Gulpin to its original size.

Gulpin It Down (Japanese: ゴクリン撃退大作戦! , HepburnThe Great Gulpin Repelling Strategy!) is the 25th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Challenge.

Synopsis

Ash and friends are in a town close to Petalburg City, when their picnic is gobbled up by a passing Gulpin. They overhear an emergency announcement instructing everyone to evacuate.

The kids and a local shopkeeper are accosted by a large group of Gulpin. Officer Jenny saves them, bringing the friends back to the Pokémon Center. They meet Nurse Joy and Professor Jacuzzi, who are working to stop the Gulpin from eating all of the town's food supplies.

The professor's first plan involves a giant PokéBlock to lead the Gulpin away. Team Rocket tries to steal the PokéBlock, but their balloon is shot down by the Gulpin. The Gulpin follow the PokéBlock out of town.

The Gulpin try to return through the sewer, but Jenny and Joy block the way. The Gulpin emerge onto the street. Professor Jacuzzi arrives with a device that beams them up and shoots them away, but it breaks down with one Gulpin left to go. Ash sends Treecko out to battle and the machine restarts, grabbing both Pokémon. It explodes, and the two of them become oversized.

To avoid destroying the town, Treecko leads Gulpin to a lake, but is too tired to battle (shrinking back to normal). May suggests capturing Gulpin in a Poké Ball. Nurse Joy gives the professor a Heavy Ball, and he captures the Gulpin, vowing to restore it to its normal size.[1]

Episode plot

As the heroes have lunch, Brock notes they are quite close to Petalburg City. Ash is excited for his battle against Norman, but Max reminds him his father is quite strong. May and Max start imagining what will they eat when they get there, seeing their mom makes a lot of good meals. May goes to grab a sandwich, but a Pokémon takes it before she does. The Pokémon gulps Max, Ash and Brock's food and even spits out Pikachu's dish. The heroes are surprised how Gulpin ate all of their food, but May remarks it looks cute. A distress signal is heard, as everyone must evacuate from their homes. Some moments later, the heroes walk the streets and do not see a single person nearby. Suddenly, a woman screams, as the Gulpin are eating her bread supply. Ash's Pikachu comes to help, but the Gulpin overwhelm him. Ash pulls Pikachu out, who has fainted, while more Gulpin fall from the vents. Officer Jenny arrives and her Tangela uses Vine Whip to pull the woman and the heroes out. Officer Jenny points out they must evacuate and decides to take the heroes to a place, where they can rest.

Jenny brings them to the Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy oversees the situation. Brock is amazed Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy are working together, making him blush, but Max prepares to punish him. Ash notices this looks like a different Pokémon Center and is told it is a "Gulpin Defense Center". An older man, whom Jenny introduces them as Prof. Jacuzzi, points out the Gulpin population is rising once again. The Gulpin each year eat everything and Prof. Jacuzzi is certain they are headed for the center of town, where they would eat the rest of the food this town has. Jacuzzi already has a plan to stop them, but the Gulpin are going towards the town's center. On the bridge, the heroes, with Officer Jenny, wait for the Gulpin, who are coming. Jacuzzi launches a rocket, revealing a giant PokéBlock for Gulpin. The PokéBlock attracts Gulpin, who are trying to eat it. Jacuzzi presses a button, causing the PokéBlock to fly away, so do the Gulpin as well. However, Team Rocket takes the PokéBlock, claiming it as their own. The Gulpin attack the balloon using Sludge, causing the balloon to descend down. Next, the Gulpin use Stockpile, then blast Team Rocket off by using Spit Up.

Ash sends Treecko, who dodges Gulpin's Sludge and uses Bullet Seed, hurting the Gulpin. Jacuzzi presses a button for the PokéBlock to fly off, with the Gulpin following it. The heroes are glad the Gulpin are gone, but Jenny is certain they will return. Team Rocket is wandering and are hungry, but Jessie's Wobbuffet spots Gulpin leaving, who ate the PokéBlock.
