Survival on the Island of Onix!

While training for the World Tournament in Undella Town, Dawn suggests that Ash & Co. need to relax so they travel to a nearby island where many Onix dwell. However, as they explore the island, they inadvertantly anger the Onix that dwell there and the gang gets separated. As they try to find eachother, they keep getting attacked. Meloetta gets angry at Ash getting attacked and manages to change form. Will Meloetta help stop the Onix attack and will Ash & Co. find eachother?

FUN MONTAGE, with more Oshawott / Piplup rivalry.
Lunch is ready - A Brock cameo!
Oshawott and Piplup both offer Meloetta lunch.
After Lunch it's time to go exploring.
Nothing can possibly go wrong in a dark cave.
I mean that in the most sarcastic way possible. Onix starts chasing them.
More then one, actually. They're chased out and separated.
Dawn, Iris, and Axew are all together.
Looks like everyone else is with Ash and Cilian.
They go looking for the girls and ... A wild Onix appears!
Meloetta being frightened provokes Piplup and Oshawott into action.
Thier fighting promps her to hide.
Dare-da? Meloetta (Step Form)

Infight. Close Combat.
She beats them pretty easily and reverts.
More fanboying from the Penguin and Otter.
Now with Dawn and Iris, who are trying to make their way back.

Dawn apparently doesn't learn anything from Iris' mistake (Foongus).
Now time for some vine swinging ... until it snaps.
Iris lands like a boss. Dawn just lands.
Now it's time for them to be chased.
Back with the boys they provoke the wrong rock pile in a canyon.
At least they find the girls ... kind of.
Now they're surrounded.
Meloetta is scared again, so the Penguin / Otter get into action.
... why isn't Pansage helping?
They can't keep it up ... or can they?
Piplup used what looked like a new move. Oshawott Hydro Pump.
Ash asks Meloetta to try and sooth the Onix with song.
It almost works, but they try to charge them.
A shiny one wakes up on the hill.
The Shiny one tells the others to back off, surprisingly.
Now they're back on the boat.
Scene with some discussion of Meloetta's ability.
Team Rocket dropped something from their helicopter into the water.

This was a good episode. Had me at the edge of my seat for most of it. Sure, no capture is no capture, but the episode had a sense of suspense with us not knowing when Onix would show up, and had Oshawott and Piplup initially fail quite surprisingly and then be reawakened by Meloetta's scream and come with good attacks.

Ash dexter'd Onix before it appeared? o.o

He did that a lot of times.

Apparently Dawn interrupts the strict training regiment. And lures Ash in the name of Onix for an adventure
 

Aura Flare Riolu

Cutest Riolu around!
The last time when he used his PokeDex like that without the Pokemon being on screen at the time was in that episode when he got Tepig. He searched for Umbreon. At least what I can recall...

Hey a Staryu! And a Wailord!

Sick of dealing with idiots.
Dawn interupted the training, that...

Piplup and Oshawott fanboy over Meloetta again and get angry at each other.

For Iris which i think is atleast ok.

Not saying I have a problem with it, just saying what happened.

They arrive at Onix Island and there a Kingler and a Krabby.

Stop doing that to Oshawott Krabby.

Krabby is colored like Kingler, but in the Pokedex it is colored like it should be...

It think that this theme that's playing is the battle theme from BW, which doesn't fit at all...

Looks like the Kingler isn't Ash's for all those people who thought it might be.

Did you think it would be?

Now Iris and Dawn are playing in the ocean.

Pikachu surfs and Ash explores underwater.

Brock in a flashback!
 

Lucario At Service

Calm Trainer
Surfing Pikachu spotted.

Brock gets mentioned by Dawn.

Now Dawn has joined Iris part and both of them are doing a combo.

Iris and Dawn both say such a kid? I like it!

They now explore a cave.

They are surrounded by Onix until they find a way out into a forest, but Piplup isn't with Dawn and Iris.
