280(4): Lots of Danger, Lots of Subame! Capture in Touka Forest!


Ash, Haruka, and Masato have left Touka City, and venturing through Touka Forest. Masato seems to be disappointed that there doesn’t seem to be any sign of a Pokemon anywhere… so he insists that they go on a different route. Ash, who wants to catch some Pokemon, agrees, slthough he feels hungry. Haruka, grabbing on Ash’s arm, insists that they take a rest as well. So, they eat for a while, fill up and stuff… until they get ready to take out the Pokemon food for Pikachu. Apparently, they find it empty! Then, as Ash apologizes to Pikachu… who is to appear but our ol’ friend Brock! Ash introduces him to Haruka and Masato… and then he confesses that he tested the Pokemon food, and criticizes them by saying it wasn’t the best cooking. However, this gets them really offended, and they get in a fight… eventually Brock decides to leave them alone for a while. As this happens, J&J are watching them, amused at their bad manners, as they plan to make their move…
Meanwhile, A&H&M finish their meal with chocolate, so they decide tosplit it since there’s only one. However, just as they split it… out of a nearby tree comes a Subame, and grabs it! Desperately, Haruka begins to chase it (it was her chocolate), but before she could reach it, it stops in a nearby tree, and eats it. Haruka upset, Ash and Masato sigh, so they just decide to make their way to Kanazumi quickly and get something to eat there… but then, in front of Pikachu, an apple falls! They look around, and just as they expect, find lots of apples around. Ash has Pikachu use its electricity to knock the apples down… but just as it does that, the flock of Subame return, and steal the apples! Haruka gets upset again, but Masato seems to be amused at the group of Subame. Apparently their territory was ruined, so Ash tries to be careful of them. Ash slowly apologizes… but as usual, they attack. Quickly, Pikachu Thunderbolts them all… and they collapse to the ground. It seems as though they have all fainted…or not. Dissapointed, Ash wonders why it didn’t faint them, considering Electric attacks are strong to Flying types! He decides to try again. However, this time, they dodge the Thunderbolt…
Meanwhile, as J&J watch this, they get an idea. They plan to get Subame on their side, since it seems they can beat Pikachu… and maybe then they can capture Pikachu…
Anyways, Pikachu tries a Thunderbolt again at the flock… and this time, the Subame from before (the one the stole the chocolate) jumps in the way, protecting them. Masato realizes that that one is the Subame’s leader. Subame then goes for a Peck, which Pikachu jumps and dodges. However, Subame happen to be good at making sharp turns, as well as being one of the fastest flyers. So, as soon as Pikachu jumps, Subame quickly heads up, and manages to hit Pikachu with a Quick Attack! Desperately, Pikachu tries yet another Thunderbolt, easily dodged. Now the Subame are really angry, so they start attacking all over Ash and co!
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a Forretress appears nearby, exploding and scaring the Subame away! The three of them get up, and notice it was Brock and his Forretress that saved him. They thank him and Forretress, and he returns it. Then, they decide to hang around by the river and socialize a bit. As Brock says hi to Pikachu after a long time, he notices his arm is injured. He then takes out some kind of spray, and easily treats Pikachu’s arm. Ash thanks him, and then asks what he’s doing here in Houen. Brock then explains that after taking care of some business at home, he heard Ash was in Houen, so he went to Mishiro Town, where Professor Odamaki told him he was headed for Kanazumi City. So, he headed that way too, and found them. Ash and Brock shake hands, then Ash introduces Haruka and Masato and Brock to each other, and they shake hands as well, and then Brock brags that he was the leader of the Pewter City Gym for a while. Ash then argues by stating that Haruka and Masato are the children of the Touka City Gym leader. Haruka then explains that she’s also planning to become a Gym leader there in the future. Masato chimes in that he also wants to become the Gym leader there, but he doesn’t have any Pokemon yet. Brock then pats him on the shoulder saying that right now he’s too young to even train, but maybe in the future he can. Then, Brock explains how he left Onix and the others at the Gym, and just took Forretress with him. Ash then explains that he did practically the same thing, taking just Pikachu. Then, Brock apologizes for what happened earlier today, and offers some of his cooking. Haruka, who is STARVING by now, accepts. Brock then gets ready to make the meal—but he finds that the rice dumpling he had in the bag is missing! Luckily, Brock has a spare one. However, Masato and Haruka seem to be worried about the flock of Subame, but Brock says he knows about the Subame and their habit of stealing food, and he can assure that right here is a safe place where the Subame won’t get them. So, they sit down and enjoy their meals J. However, little do they know that deep in the forest, the Subame are hanging around the crater caused by the explosion, wondering where Ash and co are. After resting from the damage, they get up, looking for them…
Meanwhile, J&J are planning to use the rice dumplings they took from Brock’s bag as bait for the Subame. Suddenly, the Subame flock approaches, just as they expected, and gobble up all the dumplings. They seem to be thanking them for the great meal… so James and Meowth ask the Subame for help. After that meal, it seems they are willing to cooperate…
Meanwhile, Ash-tachi are having fun, socializing, enjoying their meal and stuff. However, to their surprise, who is to appear but the Subame leader! It seems to be telling Pikachu something. Ash then realizes the Subame wants to challenge Pikachu to a match. Haruka and Masato are surprised, since it’s a rare occasion for a wild Pokemon to actually challenge someone to a battle. But Brock seems to understand, considering it’s the leader of the pack, and wants to test its fighting skills. So, Subame and Pikachu prepare to battle by the river, as they take their stance.
Subame starts by trying to hit Pikachu by flying low and Quick Attacking him, but Pikachu dodges it, and tosses a nearby rock to distract Subame. As he does this, he Quick Attacks it while its in the air. Subame easily avoids it, and goes for another attack on Pikachu as he lands, but again, Pikachu immediately jumps and avoids it. As Haruka suspects that Subame has a better advantage because it can fly, Pikachu crushes that theory with a Thunderbolt. However, Subame, being fast, dodges it, trying to attack Pikachu, who dodges again as well. Now, Subame tries a new strategy. It grabs Pikachu by the tail, and drags him around, eventually flying over the river! Desperately, Pikachu uses a Thundershock. Subame takes some damage, but still manages not to let go of Pikachu! Subame then uses Wing Attack, which hurts Pikachu. But just as he lands, he tackles Subame, as he uses Thunder! Pikachu lands on a rock, as they glare at each other… and Subame, having barely any energy left, slowly and weakly attacks Pikachu. Ash is surprised that’s its still fighting, and is a little worried about Pikachu. Brock then gives an idea to get the battle over with: Capture it! So, Ash grabs a Pokeball, and tosses it at Subame… waits a few seconds… until Subame appears to be captured! Ash then happily takes it out, to make sure its ok. Just as they suspect, it comes out all out of breath. However, Brock sprays Subame with something, which quickly recovers its energy! Ash thanks Brock, and welcomes Subame to the team as he wipes the chocolate off his beak. Masato and Brock also greet Subame, but Haruka, a little scared, hides behind Brock as she shakily greets Subame. Ash then returns Subame as he does his usual pride pose, since this is his first capture in Houen.
Suddenly, out of the woods, the infamous Subame flock appears again, along with… J&J! They say their motto, and then explain how they used a rice dumpling to get the flock of Subame on their side. Brock, surprised, asks what the hell they’re doing in Houen, a Rocket-free place. They explain how they plan to conquer Houen. Then, Brock asks if they were the ones that stole his rice dumpling. They admit they were the ones who took the dumpling, and this gets Haruka and co angry J. However, J&J have the flock of Subame attack Pikachu again! Haruka then tries taking out Torchic, but it runs around, too hyper to follow commands. Ash and Brock gasp, as Haruka gets frustrated. Eventually, Torchic frolics too much, and crashes into a nearby rock. Frustrated, Haruka returns it. However, just when J&J try to get the Subame flock to attack Pikachu again, an alarm sounds. Brock’s stew has been overcooked! Brock quickly turns it off, but then, as Ash and Brock taste it, they seem to enjoy it! The Subame also run to eat it, but Brock immediately insists that they share. To everyone’s surprise, the Subame agree, and they all happily eat the meal. Just as Pikachu finishes his own meal, his energy gets all worked up, so he lets out a T-bolt, blasting TR off J.
Haruka and Ash finish their meal, and thank Brock, and Ash tells Haruka that Brock always makes the best stews. As the Subame finish their meal, they motion thanks to Brock as well. They fly away, as Ash and the others wave goodbye, as well as their ex-leader. They seem to be saying something, but Ash can tell that they are wishing Ash and their ex-leader good luck.
Ash returns Subame, and as they clean up the food, Brock congratulates Ash on his first Houen capture, and together, they continue on their way to Kanazumi City!

Sounds like the reverse of the episode where pigeot left.

The Rock is back! :D That has got to be one of the funniest episodes ever! Those Subame sounds insane! And Torchic was a riot yet again.

Yup! Haruka's torchic is funny. And Haruka itself, too. She is so insecure and much inexperienced than Ash was at the beggining of his journeys. :P

Seems to be a pretty good episode, with Brock's return and all. Thanks for the guide Zak. ^_^

I wonder if chocolate can kill Pokémon like it kills dogs and cats......


Anyway, glad Brock is back in the picture.

The flock of Subames also eminded me of the flock of Spearow in the first episode.
