Don't bite my head off guys, but I have to ask. Are we sure that the Avalug in this episode even belongs to Wulfric? The summaries do not mention him at all, nor do they mention the location of this episode. Moreover it could very well be a wild Avalug. I can imagine the story being that a wild evil Avalug took residence where the Phantump lived. He kicked them out and they got lost since it was their first time outside. Team Rocket found them, tried to catch them all, they got separated. Ash found shiny Phantump, reunited him with his friends, blasted team Rocket away, took them back and they made Avalug be their friend after shiny Phantump kicked his butt. Shiny Phantump decided he wanted to see more of the world done stayed with Ash. The end....... Unlikely and probably too long to stretch in one episode, but could happen.......
