BW064: Crisis at Chargestone Cave!

Episode Plot

After Ash beat Clay and got his Quake Badge, Ash and co. decide to head to Mistralton City next. Cilan says that to get there they have to get through Chargestone Cave. When they got there, Ash notice Pikachu was beyond tired. The reason was that a Joltik was feeding off Pikachu's electricity, and he's not the only one the Joltik are feeding off, Iris' Emolga and Cilan's Stunfisk (being part electric) are being drained too. And who should they run into but their old friends, Bianca and Professor Juniper, who explains the situation. What could be causing the Joltik and Galvantula to leech off of other Electric-type Pokémon as well as electricities from the Pokemon Center? The only reason why is because of Team Rocket who chase away the Joltiks and Galvantulas because they are mining those electric stone so they could steal them for Dr. Zager! But not for long until the cavalry has come with an army of Galvantulas and Joltiks show up right before Iris and co.'s eyes and they're beginning to take their home back. Ash and Bianca rejoined with them as the battle had begun. Cilan's Dwebble is in action to take them down but its hold back with Woobat's Gust. Dwebble desperately holds on until it evolved into Crustle and learned Rock Wrecker. After their vehicle loaded with stones been destroyed, Team Rocket managed to get a small supply of it and got away. Now that the Galvantula and Joltik's home is back, Ash and co. made it to Prof. Juniper's base camp as the journey continues.

Trivia

• This is the second episode in a row to feature the evolution of a main character's Rock-type Pokémon, with Cilan's Dwebble evolving into Crustle (Ash's Roggenrola evolved into Boldore in the last episode).
• It is revealed that Bianca's Minccino learned Thunderbolt.
• This is the second time Ash looked up Galvantula on the Pokedex when they're outside the entrance of the Pokemon Center after draining electricity. First was BW017: Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild but when he looked it up on Pokedex, the image picture of it is not in the scene and the difference is, it said "the evolved form of Joltik" which Ash looked it up first in BW031: Oshawott's Lost Scalchop! while searching for his Oshawott's Scalchop.
• Ash and co. (minus Bianca) may have encountered swarms of Galvantulas first and one Joltik, but this is worse when they're living together in many groups.
• Professor Oak's Live Caster: Beheeyem
• Who's That Pokemon?: Dwebble (Japan), Galvantula (U.S.)
• Chargestone Cave makes it second appearance since in the flashback scene of Deino's trainer trying to find a way out in BW058 The Lonely Deino.
