Seafoam Island (anime): Difference between revisions

[[File:Humungadunga rock.png|thumb|250px|left|"The Rock" made famous after [[Jan]] and later {{OBP|Victor|EP067}} conquered Humungadunga]]

In ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'', Ash and his friends stayed on Seafoam Island a little longer, with Ash continuing his training for the upcoming Pokémon League there. While jogging, they came across a large traffic jam. The local [[Officer Jenny]] explained that it was the surfing season, and many surfers from all over the world were coming to Seafoam Island to ride the famous Humungadunga (Japanese: '''ビッグ・チューズデー''' ''Big Tuesday''), a giant wave that only appears once every 20 years. The wave became famous after a surfer named [[Jan]] conquered Humungadunga and planted a flag atop a rock spire simply known as "The Rock" forty years ago.

After trying to surf themselves, Ash and his friends befriended {{OBP|Victor|EP067}}, a local surfer. During his first try 20 years earlier, Victor had not been able to conquer Humungadunga, but was planning to accomplish it this time alongside his {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Puka]]. With support from Ash and his friends, Victor ultimately succeeded in riding the Humungadunga and planted a flag on a tall rock near Seafoam Island. He then proceeded to inspire young surfers who watched his legendary accomplishment from the beach.  

As mentioned in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', Seafoam Island hosts a movie festival called the '''Flea Collar Film Festival''' (Japanese: '''ビンヌムービー画祭 グランプリ''' ''Binnes Movie Festival Grand Prix''). [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] was a two-time winner at this festival. The festival's connection to the island is never stated in the dub.

Seafoam Island has a port, where boats leave for [[Littleroot Town]] in [[Hoenn]]. In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Ash received a ticket to Hoenn, where he went to Seafoam Island off-screen and boarded the boat onto his next adventure.

In ''[[HS08|Oaknapped!]]'', [[Ritchie]] visited Pallet Town in the hopes of meeting {{an|Professor Oak}}. He was told by {{Tracey}} however that the Professor traveled to Seafoam Island to record a TV programme. Tracey tried to contact Professor Oak via phone, but heard from Oak's co-star [[DJ Mary]] that the Professor had vanished without a trace. Tracey and Ritchie traveled over to Seafoam Island to investigate. They later uncovered a plot by [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]], who had had kidnapped the Professor for [[Dr. Namba]], who wanted information on [[Pokérus]] from Professor Oak. They eventually managed to free the Professor, who then proceeded to record the live TV show he was working on.
