Revision as of 15:09, 27 August 2015

The Bamboozling Forest! (Japanese: 竹林の追跡！ヤンチャムとゴロンダ！！, Hepburn: Bamboo Forest Chase! Pancham & Pangoro!!) is the 11th episode of Pokémon the Series: XY.

Synopsis

While on their journey, the group stops for lunch when they are interrupted by two Pancham. However when Team Rocket attacks, the Pokémon get separated from their trainers. As Ash and his friends try to reach Pikachu, so does Team Rocket, but they cross paths with a Pangoro along the way.

Episode Plot

Team Rocket watches the twerps from their balloon, planning on catching Pikachu. As the heroes eat, they are being observed by two Pokémon. The heroes' Pokémon feel something is nearby (except Chespin), so Froakie releases the frubbles, which hit these Pokémon, two Pancham. Serena scans them through her Pokédex, thinking the image should be much cuter than it is. The Pancham pass by and stare at Chespin's food. Serena thinks it would be useful to know what they are talking. Clemont's eyeglasses shine, as he presents a new machine, the Pokémon translator. Clemont has Pancham speak and the machine translates "what is yours is ours". While Clemont is fond of his machine, the Pancham have an idea. Serena and Bonnie do not think that is an accurate translation, so Clemont tries to improve his machine, but gets blown up. Pikachu tries to warn Ash, but Serena tells Pancham they will get their food soon.

Serena gives Pancham the food, who eat it, as well as everyone else's food. Serena and Bonnie are not pleased by Pancham, though Ash admires Clemont, who is happy to know his machine worked, as the translation was accurate. Suddenly, Team Rocket appears and throws their net, catching Pikachu, Froakie, Chespin and Fennekin. They fly off, so Ash sends Fletchling to attack their balloon. However, James sends Inkay, who sprays its ink on Fletchling, who falls down. Team Rocket is glad they caught the Pokémon and will get them for the boss. James goes to report to the HQ, but he, Meowth and Jessie are sceptical for each other, as one of them will get the entire credit. James' Inkay uses Psybeam, which is reflected by Wobbuffet's Mirror Coat. This causes the balloon to take damage and explodes. The Pokémon and Team Rocket fall down from the balloon.

The heroes see that, so Clemont asks Dedenne to track Pikachu's electricity, since Dedenne managed to talk to Pikachu when they met him. Meowth falls on a Pokémon and apologises to it. However, the Pokémon is unamused and throws Meowth away, blasting him off. Froakie wakes up and swims to shore and finds Pikachu. Both of them run off, through the forest, managing to find Chespin stuck in earth. With some effort, they pull Chespin out and have to find Fennekin. Instead, they found Meowth stuck on a tree, who begs for their help. Pikachu hesitates, but agrees to, so Chespin uses Pin Missile on the tree, causing Meowth to fall down. Meowth thanks them and calls it a truce, but deep down he thinks of leading them to the Pokémon that blasted him off to attack them. Froakie does not believe Meowth, who thinks he should use Chespin, who is a bit foolish.

Jessie and James are searching for Meowth and encounter the Pancham duo. James' Inkay uses Psybeam and hits Pancham. James goes to catch them, but he and Jessie are visited by the Pokémon that attacked Meowth. Inkay sprays ink to him as well, causing Jessie and James to blast off by the Pokémon. Meanwhile, Pikachu, Meowth, Froakie and Chespin find Fennekin, who is trying to clean its tail. Froakie uses the frubble to clean it. Fennekin is pleased, making Froakie blush a bit. As James and Jessie try to find Meowth, Jessie trips over something. The thing comes out, revealing to be a Pumpkaboo, who flashes out. Jessie throws her Poké Ball and catches it, amazing James how easy that was. Dedenne releases a pulse and senses something, allowing Pikachu to sense that as well. Meowth is surprised Fennekin likes to eat twigs. Chespin tries to eat the twig, but finds it disgusting and throws it away.

The twig lands in Team Rocket's attacker's head. The Pokémon becomes angry and charges, so Chespin uses Pin Missile to hit it. The Pokémon is furious, but the leaf it eats becomes charred and lies down in desperation. The heroes find Pikachu, Meowth, Fennekin, Froakie and Chespin. They also find Pangoro, whose leaf got destroyed, which serves as an organ for sensing movements. Clemont and Chespin apologise for the attack, but Pangoro's friends, the Pancham duo, are furious. Meowth translates Pangoro needs a bamboo leaf from a nearby rock to recover. The heroes decide to find this leaf. While Pancham leads them, Meowth stays with Pangoro and is found by Jessie and James. They notice Pangoro is the one that attacked them, though Meowth explains the situation.

Pancham leads the heroes to Pangoro's tree on a cliff. Ash tries to climb the cliff, but fails. Serena suggests using Vine Whip, so Chespin uses it and grabs the leaf. The heroes return back, only to see Pangoro and the other Pancham tied up by Team Rocket. Team Rocket threatens to hurt them if they don't hand Pikachu over. Jessie sends her newest Pokémon, Pumpkaboo, who uses Leech Seed to bind Fennekin, Froakie, Pikachu, Bunnelby, Chespin and Pancham, draining their health. Ash grabs the leaf and runs to Pangoro. Inkay uses Psybeam, which is countered by Pikachu's Thunderbolt. Pumpkaboo uses Shadow Ball, which is countered by Bunnelby's Mud Shot and Froakie's Water Pulse. Wobbuffet tries to counter, but is hit by Ember and Pin Missile. Ash jumps and places the leaf in Pangoro's mouth. Pangoro releases itself and blasts Team Rocket off.

The heroes thank Pangoro and apologise for causing so much trouble. The heroes bid Pangoro and Pancham farewell and continue their journey. However, Ash realizes they never got to finish lunch and they all become hungry out of sudden.

Pikachu tries to warn Ash, but Serena tells Pancham they will get their food soon.
-The episode begins with Team Rocket spying down with binoculars from their hot air balloon on Ash and company's Pokémon, who are eating. They decide to begin their capture of the Pokemon. Down in the forest, Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie are in the middle of having lunch. They are unaware that two Pancham are spying on the group from the surrounding bushes. Pikachu and the rest of the Pokemon notice the occurrence, except for Clemont's Chespin, who is focused on eating. Ash notices and asks what's wrong, to which the Pokémon turn to the bush where they heard the Pancham. Ash's Froakie fires its frubbles into the bushes, and the two Pancham roll out, covered in the frubbles. Team Rocket watches from above, and James uses his scanner to identify Pancham. Ash cleans up the Pancham and apologizes for surprising them, while Serena observes with her Pokédex. She notes that the Pancham looks different in the Pokédex, in the picture it is glaring, but the wild Pancham are smiling and looking innocent and "cute." The two Pancham run over to Chespin, who is eating its food, and begin to talk to it in Pokémon language. In response, Clemont whips out another one of his machines, this time a Pokémon Translator Device. He holds the microphone piece out to the Pancham, who look at each other, wink, and nod. They say that their stuff is everyone's stuff, and the machine translates, much to everyone's delight. However, when Clemont's back is turned, the pair exchange mischievous glances, which the Pokémon notice. Serena wonders if the machine translated correctly, and points out that she thinks the Pancham asked if they could share their food. Pikachu attempts to warn Ash, but Serena offers the two Pancham Pokémon food. When they finish the food, the Pancham continue until they've eaten all of both the travelers and the Pokémon's food. Clemont rejoices that his translation was indeed correct after all.

James' Inkay uses Psybeam, which is reflected by Wobbuffet's Mirror Coat. This causes the balloon to take damage and explodes. The Pokémon and Team Rocket fall down from the balloon.
-Pikachu, Froakie, and Fennekin comfort Chespin as a shadow appears over them. It is Team Rocket, who launches a net and captures the four Pokémon and starts to fly away, while the Pancham flee. Ash sends out Fletchling to stop them, and in return, James takes out his Inkay. Inkay spits out ink and Fletchling is hit, and falls into Ash's arms. Team Rocket escape, and Ash and his friends follow them. Team Rocket rejoices, and discuss informing Team Rocket HQ, and a quarrel ensues over who deserves the credit. A battle ensues, and James's Inkay's Psybeam is bounced off Jessie's Wobbuffet's Mirror Coat, which causes the balloon to explode, releasing the captive Pokémon. Ash's group observes from afar and are worried for the safety of their Pokémon. Clemont remembers Dedenne's communication powers, and tell it to notify them if it catches Pikachu's electricity. Meanwhile, Meowth falls from the balloon only to hit a walking Pangoro in a bamboo forest. Meowth quickly tries to apologize, but Pangoro throws him into the sky again.
-Froakie has landed in a river, and when it reaches the shore, it is greeted by rustling in the bushes. It disguises itself with its frubbles, but it is only Pikachu who emerges, and motions Froakie to follow him through the bamboo forest, where they find Chespin. They are interrupted on their search for Fennekin by Meowth, who is stuck on a tree, pleading for help. Chespin uses Pin Missile to release Meowth, who thanks them and offers a truce, but really plans to use them as shields if Pangoro emerges again.
+The heroes see that, so Clemont asks Dedenne to track Pikachu's electricity, since Dedenne managed to talk to Pikachu when they met him. Meowth falls on a Pokémon and apologises to it.

+Jessie and James are searching for Meowth and encounter the Pancham duo. James' Inkay uses Psybeam and hits Pancham. James goes to catch them, but he and Jessie are visited by the Pokémon that attacked Meowth. Inkay sprays ink to him as well, causing Jessie and James to blast off by the Pokémon. Meanwhile, Pikachu, Meowth, Froakie and Chespin find Fennekin, who is trying to clean its tail. Froakie uses the frubble to clean it. Fennekin is pleased, making Froakie blush a bit.

Meowth is surprised Fennekin likes to eat twigs. Chespin tries to eat the twig, but finds it disgusting and throws it away.
-Jessie and James walk dejectedly with their Pokémon when the two Pancham reappear, this time with glares on their faces. Jessie and James decide to capture them. Inkay's Psybeam is effective, and James is about to throw out a Poké Ball when Pangoro appears behind them. Inkay, on its own accord, sprays ink on Pangoro, as Team Rocket tries to desperately warn it, but it is too late: Pangoro has grown infuriated. It punches Team Rocket into the sky yet again. The two Pancham and the Pangoro grin in their success. Elsewhere in the forest, Fennekin is alone by the stream, when Pikachu and his companions, including Meowth come rushing to it, overjoyed to have finally found it. Fennekin is worried about the state of its tail, and Froakie cleans it with its frubbles. Along another path, the rest of Team Rocket walks, sore from Pangoro's attack. Jessie trips and falls over something black and pointy sticking up from the ground. The thing bursts out from the ground and floats before them, flashing its lights; it is a Pumpkaboo. Jessie throws out a Poké Ball and captures it successfully on the first try, much to James's disbelief.
+The twig lands in Team Rocket's attacker's head. The Pokémon becomes angry and charges, so Chespin uses Pin Missile to hit it. The Pokémon is furious, but the leaf it eats becomes charred and lies down in desperation. The heroes find Pikachu, Meowth, Fennekin, Froakie and Chespin. They also find Pangoro, whose leaf got destroyed, which serves as an organ for sensing movements. Clemont and Chespin apologise for the attack, but Pangoro's friends, the Pancham duo, are furious. Meowth translates Pangoro needs a bamboo leaf from a nearby rock to recover. The heroes decide to find this leaf. While Pancham leads them, Meowth stays with Pangoro and is found by Jessie and James. They notice Pangoro is the one that attacked them, though Meowth explains the situation.
-Nearby, Dedenne and Pikachu sense each other's electricity. Fennekin chomps on a stick, but Chespin is disgusted with its own stick, and throws it away, only to hit the Pangoro, who quickly loses its temper. Pikachu, Fennekin, Froakie, and Meowth start to run, but Chespin is left on the spot, and hits Pangoro with its Pin Missile. Seeing Pangoro accompanied by the two Pancham, Meowth realizes that the three were working together all along. Pangoro, reacting from Chespin's attack, drops the bamboo shoot from its mouth. It slumps to the forest floor, having lost all of its energy. Just then, Ash, Clemont, Serena, and Bonnie run into the scene. Meowth pretends to be pleased and explains that the problem is Pangoro, and that it is also Chespin's fault for destroying Pangoro's precious leaf. The Pancham are angry, and Meowth translates, saying that the Pancham demand that to make their leader well again, it needs its special bamboo leaf, only specifically one from a tree on a rock ahead. Clemont feels bad and resolves to go look for a new leaf, and the rest of his friends agree to accompany him, led by one of the Pancham. The other Pancham and Meowth stay behind, saying he is "concerned with the well-being of Pangoro" mush to Serena's disbelief. While the group is gone, Team Rocket whispers to Meowth from the bushes, and Meowth explains the situation.
-The search group reaches the bottom of the rock, which is gigantic. Ash decides he will climb up, but the task proves difficult. Serena suggests an easier way: Chespin can use Vine Whip to grab the leaf, and the Pokémon gets it down in no time. The group returns to Pangoro, only to find Pangoro tied with ropes, along with the other Pancham and Team Rocket is waiting for them, reunited with Meowth. Ash protests and Jessie releases her newly-caught Pumpkaboo, who uses Leech Seed on the group, tying up all the Pokemon and drains their strength (expect Chespin's). Ash realizes they could be saved if Pangoro is reunited with its bamboo leaf, so he charges forward. To prevent Ash from going any further, James tells Inkay to use Psybeam, but Pikachu protects Ash with Thunderbolt. Jessie sends Pumpkaboo to attack Ash with Shadow Ball, but it is met with the combined Water Pulse and Mud Shot of Froakie and Clemont's Bunnelby. Chespin and Fennekin also combine their Ember and Pin Missile attacks to take down Wobbuffet. Ash leaps through the smoke and places the leaf in Pangoro's mouth. Pangoro breaks through its ropes, strength restored, and sends Team Rocket blasting off again with a Hammer Arm. The other Pokemon's roots melt away and everyone rejoices. Ash and his friends thank and apologize to Pangoro for the commotion they caused, and Pangoro forgives them. The whole group celebrates as the Pancham dance around.
+Pancham leads the heroes to Pangoro's tree on a cliff. Ash tries to climb the cliff, but fails. Serena suggests using Vine Whip, so Chespin uses it and grabs the leaf. The heroes return back, only to see Pangoro and the other Pancham tied up by Team Rocket. Team Rocket threatens to hurt them if they don't hand Pikachu over. Jessie sends her newest Pokémon, Pumpkaboo, who uses Leech Seed to bind Fennekin, Froakie, Pikachu, Bunnelby, Chespin and Pancham, draining their health. Ash grabs the leaf and runs to Pangoro. Inkay uses Psybeam, which is countered by Pikachu's Thunderbolt. Pumpkaboo uses Shadow Ball, which is countered by Bunnelby's Mud Shot and Froakie's Water Pulse. Wobbuffet tries to counter, but is hit by Ember and Pin Missile. Ash jumps and places the leaf in Pangoro's mouth. Pangoro releases itself and blasts Team Rocket off.
-As the sun sets, the travelers wave goodbye to Pangoro and the Pancham, and continue on their journey. Just then, Ash remembers that they had been in the middle of lunch and didn't finish eating, and the group all groans with rumbling stomachs.
+The heroes thank Pangoro and apologise for causing so much trouble. The heroes bid Pangoro and Pancham farewell and continue their journey. However, Ash realizes they never got to finish lunch and they all become hungry out of sudden.
