-Today our heroes are in a generic forest of woe(as usual), but this time it's foggy!
-They see a silouette heading their way and ask for directions(or something like that), but...it was just an Audino.
-They try to get it to stop and...seriously, why are they bothering to try to get it to stop? Were they still trying to ask it for help or something?
-Then the fog suddenly clears and OH SHIT OFFICER JENNY. Along with Detective Conan a blue haired boy with a Solosis and a purple haired girl with a Gothita.
-Ash and Iris are angry at being arrested, and Dento...pulls out the "I AM A GYM LEADER" card. And it works!
-Blah blah introductions and dex scanning blah blah oh hey a Pokemon Center's Audino went missing.
-Ash and the gang offer to help, and...Dento whips out a detective hat! And a magnifying glass! IT'S DETECTIVE TIME! ...Iris is less than impressed.
-Those kids are arguing (again). I have a feeling this episode is going to end with a "oh, we should both be helping each other and blah blah blah TEAMWORK" sort of moment.
-It seems like everyone's splitting up - Ash is going with Conan the blue haired boy, Iris is going with the girl, and Dento's going with Officer Jenny.
-Iris continues to be unimpressed with Dento's smug detective act.
-Apparently the plan is to find random peoples' Audino and put tracking devices on them. That...makes sense.
-Ash and NotConan see an Audino start to wander off, so its owner recalls it...but it drags itself back out of its Pokeball!
-And the same thing happens with the Audino that Iris/girl and Dento/Jenny were dealing with, of course.
-Everyone panics when their tracking pads start staticing out, but...the Audino are still in sight. Can't they just...you know...keep following them?
-Or they can use Psychic to stop a couple of the Audino. Too bad that doesn't help the third Audino, which has vanished by the time everyone catches up to where it was.
-Dento sees a fallen tracking device, and seems to have an idea about the culprit. Which leads him to...ask Ash to send out Roggenrola. I guess the idea is that the culprit's using some sort of sound thing, which works on Audino(since they hear really well) & which Roggenrola should be able to hear(since half of it is basically a giant ear)? But then everyone just follows the Audino normally. Yeah, I officially Don't Get It.
-It looks like Iris' scorn isn't just directed at Dento today - Ash tries to climb up a cliff after the ladder's pulled up by the Audino, but fails to do so. And Iris is not amused, as usual. (neither is Axew, for that matteR)
-Ahahahaha, Dento and Jenny having a somber conversation while, in the background, Ash is STILL trying (and failing) to climb up the cliff.
-Oh hey, the kids kind of have PSYCHIC POKEMON that have PSYCHIC POWERS that can just lift them up the cliff.
-Eventually, they reach a defunct wind power plant...and the wind turbines have had speakers added to them!
-Of course, Team Rocket was behind all this, and...Dento makes a dramatic entrance! Which quickly loses its impact since Jenny and Ash run in going "TEAM ROCKET", but at least he tried.
-Blah blah the day is saved blah blah Dento says something about the case and "good taste!" blah blah.
-The kids ask Jenny which one of their Pokemon was more helpful...and are promptly disappointed when she points out that Ash's Roggenrola was the most helpful one. I guess there's no moral to that story then, just a quick burn. (followed by everyone laughing like this is the end of some generic 80s cartoon)
This episode was...boring. To put it politely. The mystery wasn't really much of a mystery, and they hyped up ~SOMMELIER DETECTIVE DENTO~ when he never got to do much of anything. Oh well, at least next week's ep looks interesting?
