Well... the last episode before this was basically like, "another day, another worthless filler" which is undeserving of a summary. This is a different story, however...
- Ash & his friends are in town (hell if I know the name of it...) & they all happen to be a bunch of hungry, hungry hippos.;450; That means that the first order of the day is to have some nom noms.
- Then, they come across a Marill, who is stuck inside a squeeze. They all try to pry it out, & with some hidden cussing later, they manage to do so.
- Then, Marill's trainer comes by to reclaim her lost Pokemon. Who the hell is she?? Well she would be Lyra, the girl from HG/SS, for those who aren't up to snuff in their Pokemon Lore.
- Lyra just so happens to be from Jhoto; New Bark Town, to be more precise. What I've also observed is that all the girls in Jhoto loves having a Marill on them. Go figure...
- Another thing is that Lyra is hosting a Jhoto festival in that same town that they're in. Isn't that something, hmm?
- Well, this festival is basically a show off what these people over at Sinnoh can find over there. I'm sure this brings back Ash's memories in Jhoto as well. Good times, man, good times.
- However, they've forgotten the one thing that they must do: get some nom noms! Thankfully, Lyra knows just where to go.
- While they're doing that, they also meet up with one of Lyra's friends, whose name is Cory, which I don't even know if it's spelled properly, whom also is having trouble getting his Totodile to eat his food.
- Leave it all to Brock to come up with a solution: grind up a Chesto Berry & sprinkle it on its food. That worked like a charm.
- Speaking of trouble, we find TR inside the premises as well, but their plans this time is to steal every little bit of food that is inside this festival & take it for themselves.
- Back at the center "pavilion" so to speak,, Lyra is going to give a demonstration of the Jhoto starters, & there is nothing better than to fight someone. & guess who that someone is? It's Dawn!!
- Chikorita VS Piplup (I'm already going to tell that this isn't going to end well...) FIGHT!!
- Unfortunately, it's not so much of a fight, as it went pretty much like this: Piplup uses Bubblebeam, then Chikorita uses Light Screen, which most likely isn't enough, seeing as how it still pushed it about. Piplup follows up with Peck, which breaks Chikorita's Light Screen (not so much breaks as it ignores it altogether, but whatever...) Chikorita tries to attack itself, but Piplup doesn't let up, & thus...
- ...Chikorita dies... Yeah, I'm guessing that it's a pansy if it can't fight someone that has a type-disadvantage against it...
- That aside, Dawn wins herself a Pokemon Egg, but Avast!! TR comes by & snags it away from her!
- As they try to get away, their balloon gets pricked from behind from a (fake) tree, & they get sent off into a cataclysmic ride into god knows where.
- They crash off into the wild blue yonder, but at least they've still got their ill-gotten food & Dawn's egg, they eat & eat & eat...
- ...Whilst Lyra comes up with a plan to split up, so that if one group finds them, they can signal the other so that they can surround them. Brilliant!!
- In the meantime, Jessie has turned into a Balalalala-Blubber-gut from wolfing down all that stolen food in such a short amount of time. However, a Teddiursa is also feasting on "their" food; Jessie yanks it away, which thus causes a nearby Ursaring to go Berzerker on her, & she thus runs for her life.
- Now separated from Jessie, James goes looking for her, with Dawn's egg in tow, but... Ash's group manages to find him.
- Worse for them still, Lyra's group manages to close the ring & surround him. Thus, they managed to get Dawn's egg back, & Ash is free to blow them away with his Pikachu.
- Afterward, the egg hatches into a Cyndaquil. Ooo!
Damn, I had a hard time remembering this from over a week ago. I need to speed things up a bit...
