==Plot==
 
[[Ash]], [[Cilan (anime)|Cilan]] and [[Iris (anime)|Iris]] continue their path to Nimbasa City. However, they meet Stephan, a man who constantly trains. Ash then asks for a battle with Stephan, to which he agrees.

''Ash and Pikachu work with Oshawott all night long. The training pays off, as Oshawott’s speed and strength have greatly improved. When the battle resumes the next day, we find that Blitzle and Oshawott have both become much stronger! But at the end of the battle, it’s Oshawott who prevails, giving the victory to Ash! Then, Axew happens to find Oshawott’s lost scalchop, much to everyone’s delight.''
Ash sends his [[Ash's Oshawott|Oshawott]] out, while Stephan his [[Stephan's Zebstrika|Blitzle]]. Joltik attacks Oshawott, and as Oshawott attempts to block the attack, his Scalchop disappears and the attacks shocks Oshawott! Oshawott is desperate to find the shell, so Stephan gives time for Ash to find the shell. [[Iris' Axew]] finds a bottle cap, but Oshaowtt isn't satisfied. Oshawott himself finds something that conducts electricity - Joltik. Iris finds some fruit so, [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] strikes Oshawott. Oshawott deflects the attack with the fruit, but soon after the fruit and Oshawott are struck with electricity.

Cilan sends his [[Cilan's Crustile|Dwebble]]. He orders the Dwebble to shape the rock into a Scalchop. Pikachu strikes Oshawott, but Oshaott isn't strong enough to lift the rock, so is (again) struck with electricity. Ash then trains Oshawott. Oshawott attempts to life the rock, but fails.
 
   
 
==Episode plot==
The night after, Oshawott has illusions of moon being his Scalchop. Ash appears, suggesting they should train again. After the training, Oshawott succeeded to life the rock. The next day, the gang searches for Stephan, seeing him to ride a bike (in one place) to have his Blitzle stronger. Blitzle attacks Oshawott, while Oshawott deflects with the rock. However, Blitzle uses full power and bashes the rock.
 
  +
The heroes meet Stephan, a new trainer. Ash takes his challenge, sending Pikachu against Stephan's Blitzle. However, Oshawott comes out, pushing Pikachu away, as Oshawott wants to battle instead. Blitzle starts with Shockwave, though Oshawott uses his scalchop to deflect the attack, shocking Stephan. Blitzle uses Flame Charge and Oshawott uses Aqua Jet. However, the latter goes in a different direction and bashes into a rock. Oshawott uses Razor Shell, but gets intercepted by Blitzle's Double Kick. Oshawott's shell is blown away, so Oshawott runs off to find it. Ash goes after him, but Stephan thinks they are surrendering the match. [[Cilan (anime)|Cilan]] points out that scalchop is part of Oshawott, so it does not mean they are surrendering. [[Iris (anime)|Iris]] thinks they will be back soon, so Stephan leaves and promises to come back tomorrow.
   
  +
[[File:UK- Oshawott's lost scalchop - Pokémon the Series- Black & White - Official Clip|thumb|left|Oshwott trying different objects to replace its scalchop...]]
Oshawott then evades Blitzle's attacks (due to his improved speed). With Blitzle gaining upon him, Ash declares Oshawott to use Aqua Jet. Despite the attack is uncoordinated, Blitzle gains on him. However, Oshawott strikes Blitzle and defeats him. Iris' Axew found the Scalchop, making Oshawott place upon his belly and making him happy. In the end, the gang continues going to Nimbasa City.
 
  +
Oshawott tries to find his scalchop, but finds a bottle cap. Ash and Pikachu come to Oshawott, promising to find his scalchop. Ash finds something, so Oshawott puts it on his chest, but it is a Pokémon, who electrocutes him. Pikachu uses Iron Tail, bringing the Pokémon down, who is actually a Joltik. Joltik runs off, while Oshawott is sad. Ash promises they will find the scalchop, making Oshawott happy. Cilan and Iris come, reporting Ash's battle got postponed. Iris has an idea and runs off. Soon, she gives Oshawott an Iapapa Berry, while Ash goes to test it. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on Oshawott, who tries to deflect it using the berry. The berry splits in two because of Thunderbolt, causing Oshawott to get electrocuted. Iris thought it would be a good idea to apply, though she and Cilan admit the berry has tastes good.
  +
  +
Cilan gives Oshawott his dish to hold. Oshawott uses the dish to protect himself from Thunderbolt, but gets electrocuted, for the dish is metallic. Cilan is terrified, for the dish is ruined. Ash asks to help Oshawott to make a new shield. Cilan sends Dwebble, who carves out a big shell from a rock, making a new shield for Oshawott. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, though Oshawott lifts the stone shell, deflecting the attack. Ash is pleased the shield worked, but Oshawott falls down, as the shield is too heavy for him. Iris thinks Oshawott depends too much on the scalchop, but Ash disagrees, for it is not just a tool to Oshawott. Cilan thinks the best defense is a good offense, so Ash sees he needs to train Oshawott to use that shield.
  +
  +
Ash and Oshawott train hard. After a while, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on Oshawott, who rolls away after being hit. However, Oshawott does not back down, pleasing Iris and Cilan for such determination, though Oshawott still gets blown away. Ash tries to encourage Oshawott to give a bit more, knowing how tough he is. During the night, Oshawott dreams his scalchop got lost and he got hit by Blitzle's Shock Wave. He remembers his master's words he can give even more, so is determined to become stronger. Ash and Pikachu search for Oshawott and find him trying to lift the stone shell. Ash offers more special training to Oshawott, who accepts. After some time, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but Oshawott deflects the attack using the stone shell without any mistakes.
  +
  +
Next day, the heroes anticipate Stephan, who has not shown up yet. They find him pedalling a generator to power up Blitzle. Stephan greets the heroes, showing he is powering up Blitzle. Stephan goes to battle Ash, who trusts in Oshawott. Blitzle starts with Shock Wave, though Oshawott uses the stone shell to deflect the attack. Blitzle powers up its Shock Wave, causing a crack in Oshawott's stone shell. Using Double Kick, Blitzle smashes the shell. Blitzle uses Shock Wave, though Oshawott takes a stone piece to protect himself, but fails and gets hit. Ash remembers Cilan's words, so orders tackle. Oshawott dodges Blitzle's Shock Wave and tackles it several times. Ash sees Aqua Jet is risky to use, while Oshawott cannot use the Razor Shell currently.
  +
  +
Blitzle uses Double Kick, which Oshawott dodges, including its Flame Charge. Blitzle cornered Oshawott and uses Flame Charge. Oshawott uses Aqua Jet, but, like other times, goes in a different direction. Oshawott's Aqua Jet clashes with Blitzle's Flame Charge and both are blown away after crashing into a rock. Blitzle is defeated, so Stephan calls it back and congratulates Ash on the victory. Stephan promises to train more and battle Ash once more, who is looking forward to it. Axew found the shell Oshawott lost and gives it to him. Oshawott puts it on his chest, pleasing him, but falls down, asleep. Cilan sees Oshawott is exhausted from all the training and battles. Ash thinks if one puts their mind to something, they can do anything.

Oshawott's Lost Scalchop! (Japanese: 消えたホタチ!ミジュマル最大の危機!!, HepburnThe Missing Scalchop! Oshawott's Biggest Crisis Ever!!) is the 30th episode of Pokémon: Black & White.

Synopsis

Ash and his friends come across a confident Trainer named Stephan, who challenges Ash to battle his Blitzle. Ash intends to start the match with Pikachu, but Oshawott wants to lead the battle instead! Ash agrees, but as the battle gets under way, Oshawott’s scalchop gets knocked off its belly and flies into a dense part of the forest.

Ash calls off the battle until the next day so he and Oshawott can find the scalchop. After coming up empty-handed, they try to improvise a scalchop substitute...without much luck. Cilan even asks Dwebble to carve a shield out of rock, but it’s too heavy for Oshawott to handle. So it’s time for some special training!

Ash and Pikachu work with Oshawott all night long. The training pays off, as Oshawott’s speed and strength have greatly improved. When the battle resumes the next day, we find that Blitzle and Oshawott have both become much stronger! But at the end of the battle, it’s Oshawott who prevails, giving the victory to Ash! Then, Axew happens to find Oshawott’s lost scalchop, much to everyone’s delight.

It’s been a long day for Oshawott, and the exhausted Pokémon falls into a deep sleep. Our heroes marvel at how circumstances can turn difficulty into opportunity—especially with dedicated support from a Trainer like Ash![1]

Episode plot

The heroes meet Stephan, a new trainer. Ash takes his challenge, sending Pikachu against Stephan's Blitzle. However, Oshawott comes out, pushing Pikachu away, as Oshawott wants to battle instead. Blitzle starts with Shockwave, though Oshawott uses his scalchop to deflect the attack, shocking Stephan. Blitzle uses Flame Charge and Oshawott uses Aqua Jet. However, the latter goes in a different direction and bashes into a rock. Oshawott uses Razor Shell, but gets intercepted by Blitzle's Double Kick. Oshawott's shell is blown away, so Oshawott runs off to find it. Ash goes after him, but Stephan thinks they are surrendering the match. Cilan points out that scalchop is part of Oshawott, so it does not mean they are surrendering. Iris thinks they will be back soon, so Stephan leaves and promises to come back tomorrow.
