| The episode begins with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} taking an excursion to the {{rt|8|Kalos|Muraille Coast}} before heading out to the [[Cyllage City]] for Ash's Gym battle with [[Grant]]. After lunch, Ash decides that they should work on their strategy for countering Grant's {{m|Rock Tomb}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Froakie}}, and {{AP|Fletchling}} are all ready to train. However, {{an|Serena}} decides that they should do some [[fishing]] with the rods they [[XY022|received]] at {{DL|Ambrette Town|Ambrette Aquarium}} since they're at the beach and doing too much training will stress Ash out. {{an|Clemont}} then suggests that if Ash catches another {{type|Water}} Pokémon, he will have a much easier time when it comes to battling Grant, to which Ash agrees, so everyone begins fishing. Serena wonders what kind of Pokémon she'll catch, while Ash already has a bite, but it proves to be quite strong as Ash struggles to pull it out of the water. {{an|Bonnie}} begins to wonder if it could be a {{p|Corsola}}, {{p|Clamperl}}, or even a {{p|Wailord}}, and Ash mentions that he will catch it no matter what Pokémon it is. The unknown Pokémon begins to go wild in the water, but is brought to the surface after one final pull from Ash. As Ash looks confused, Serena tells him it looks like he only caught some kelp, but Clemont corrects her, saying that Ash did in fact catch something. However, when Ash examines what he caught, it suddenly jumps to his face, flailing around.
| | Finishing up lunch by the {{rt|8|Kalos|Muraille Coast}}, {{Ash}} is keen to get back to {{pkmn|training}} for his upcoming [[Cyllage Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. However, {{an|Serena}} decides that they should do some [[fishing]] with the rods they [[XY022|received]] at {{DL|Ambrette Town|Ambrette Aquarium}} since they're at the beach and doing too much training will stress Ash out. {{an|Clemont}} suggests that Ash should catch another {{type|Water}} Pokémon, which will make it easier when it comes to battling [[Grant]], to which Ash agrees, so everyone begins fishing. Ash soon gets a bite, but it proves to be quite strong, before eventually bringing up to the surface. Ash is confused by his catch, which Serena tells him it looks like he only caught some kelp. Clemont corrects her, saying that Ash did in fact catch something. However, when Ash examines it closely, the mystery Pokémon goes straight for his face. As Ash pulls the Pokémon away from his face, Bonnie notices that it is hurt and places a bandage on its head. As everyone stares at the Pokémon, it begins to flail about once more before slipping from Ash's grip and back into the water. Ash scans the Pokémon with his [[Pokédex]] and learns that it is a {{p|Skrelp}}. Skrelp then fires a {{m|Sludge Bomb}} to defend itself from the group. {{AP|Pikachu}} bravely attempts to talk to Skrelp, but is hit with {{m|Toxic}} and becomes {{status|badly poisoned}} in the process. As Skrelp swims off, Clemont tells them they need to get Pikachu to a [[Pokémon Center]] quickly, but as they rush off, a van pulls up at the side of the road and a couple offers them help in tending to Pikachu by using an [[Antidote]]. |

| As Ash pulls the Pokémon from his face, he is confused and admits he didn't know it was a Pokémon after all, but Bonnie notices that it is hurt and places a bandage on its head. As everyone stares at the Pokémon, it begins to flail about once more as it jumps from Ash's grip and back into the water. Ash checks the Pokémon with his [[Pokédex]] and learns that it is a {{p|Skrelp}}. Skrelp then fires {{m|Sludge Bomb}} at them, thinking that the group is its enemy. Pikachu bravely attempts to talk to Skrelp to calm it down, but is hit with {{m|Toxic}} and becomes {{status|badly poisoned}} in the process. As Skrelp dives away underwater, Clemont tells them they need to get Pikachu to a [[Pokémon Center]] quickly, but as they rush off, a van pulls up at the side of the road and a couple offers them help in tending to Pikachu by using an [[Antidote]].
| | Having used the Antidote, Pikachu is successfully cured from the poison's effects, and Ash thanks the couple for their help. The couple then introduce themselves as [[Eddy]] and [[Lindsey]], and reveal that they're underwater archaeologists interested in searching for the [[S.S. Cussler]], a luxury liner that sank due to hitting an iceberg many years ago. They reveal that the Cussler may sit off the Muraille Coast because of strong underwater currents. Becoming interested, Ash and his friends offer to help them in any way they can, to which they accept, admitting that they're shorthanded at the moment. Lindsey mentions that the quest could get dangerous, so the group will need to listen to them and they agree as everyone sets off. However, once they drive off, {{TRT}} also heard everything about the Cussler and set their sights on retrieving the treasures inside the shipwreck for themselves. |

| Having used the Antidote, Pikachu is successfully cured from the poison's effects and is alright, much to Ash's relief. Ash thanks the couple for their help and everyone introduces themselves to the couple. The couple then introduce themselves as [[Eddy]] and [[Lindsey]], and reveal that they're underwater archaeologists interested in searching for [[S.S. Cussler|the Cussler]], a luxury liner that sank due to hitting an iceberg many years ago. They reveal that the Cussler may be in the area of the Muraille Coast due to the current carrying it there. Becoming interested, Ash and his friends offer to help them in any way they can, to which they accept, admitting that they're short handed at the moment. Lindsey mentions how the quest could get dangerous, so the group will need to listen to them and they agree as everyone sets off. However, once they drive off, {{TRT}} is shown to have heard everything about the Cussler and how there are priceless treasures on the ship and decide to set their sights on retrieving the treasure for themselves.
| | On the boat, Eddy informs Lindsey that it is almost time, and she tells Ash and his friends to watch the whirlpools very carefully. Upon watching them, the group notices that the whirlpools have now disappeared. This is because the intersecting currents that create the whirlpools regularly change, so the whirlpools aren't around for long. Eddy continues to sail ahead, and soon they arrive at their dive spot. Lindsey prepares to enter the submarine, and has to break the news to the group, that there is only room for two other people to join her. Clemont has a solution to the issue as he reveals his [[Clemontic Gear|newest invention]], a machine that will decide fair and square who wins a chance to go inside the submarine with Lindsey. The machine reveals the winners to be Ash and Serena, leaving Bonnie annoyed with Clemont for them losing the opportunity, but Clemont tells her that their fate was chosen by science, so there aren't any hard feelings. |

| On the boat, Eddy informs Lindsey that it is almost time, and she tells Ash and his friends to watch the whirlpools very carefully. Upon watching them, the group notices that the whirlpools have now disappeared. This is because the intersecting currents that create the whirlpools regularly change, so the whirlpools won't be around for a while. Eddy then lets everyone know they have reached their destination and that they are going to get ready to dive.
| | With the winning group now decided, it is time for them to dive down to the depths in search of the S.S. Cussler. Lindsey radios through to the bridge, and Eddy confirms that their audio visual communication system is working well. Down in the submarine, Serena watches a group of {{p|Qwilfish}} swim by, while Ash mentions the amount of {{p|Octillery}} on his side. Serena is impressed by the amount of Water-type Pokémon there are as the submarine continues to go deeper into the ocean. Serena notices three Skrelp, and recognizes the one they encountered earlier by the bandage Bonnie put on its head. As Serena and Ash are happy that Skrelp managed to find its friends, the submarine is suddenly caught up in the current, which causes an interference with the communication system. However, Lindsey isn't fazed by it but is instead excited that their theory about how the Cussler got swept away is proving to be correct. Serena becomes worried as the ship is quite close to them, but Lindsey handles things and gets them to safety. Ash notices the group of Skrelp following the sunken ship and Lindsey decides to follow them. They notice a distinctive {{p|Milotic}} emblem on the ship's hull, which Eddy confirms is the Cussler. Two Pokémon emerge from the Cussler and approach the sunken ship from earlier as Ash scans the unfamiliar Pokémon with his Pokédex, learning that the two Pokémon are Dragalge. Lindsey then states that the Dragalge appear to fusing the two ships together as a group of {{p|Luvdisc}}, {{p|Chinchou}}, and {{p|Remoraid}} emerge from the Cussler and begin playing with the group of Skrelp. Eddy explains that the Dragalge used {{m|Acid}} to fuse the two ships together to create one whole structure for a bigger home. After watching how well the Water-type Pokémon get along, Lindsey then notices a bright light coming from the side of the ship, as do the Water Pokémon. |

| Lindsey opens up the lid to the submarine and Ash asks her if this is what they're going to be using to dive in, and after receiving confirmation, he asks if they can dive down with her. Lindsey is shocked and explains that the submarine isn't very large, so it can only fit two other people in there with her. Clemont has a solution to the issue as he reveals his newest invention, a machine that will decide fair and square who wins a chance to go inside the submarine with Lindsey. The machine reveals the winner to be Ash and Serena, leaving Bonnie annoyed with Clemont for them losing, but Clemont tells her that their fate was chosen by science, so there aren't any hard feelings.
| | The Dragalge approach the light to investigate further, but it turns out to be Team Rocket's [[Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp submarine]] cutting through the side of the shipwreck. Lindsey follows in the submarine, upon arriving, Ash immediately recognizes the submarine as Team Rocket's. The sudden mention of the name confuses Eddy, though Clemont explains that Team Rocket steal Pokémon. Team Rocket enter the Cussler’s hull and locate an air gap to begin searching for treasure. Soon, the Skrelp and Dragalge emerge from the water, followed by Lindsey's submarine. Ash opens the lid of the submarine, but there is no sign of Team Rocket. Serena also looks outside, but the Skrelp and Dragalge notice and begin to fire Acid at them, until Pikachu steps in and is recognized by the Skrelp with the bandage, who tells its friends to stop attacking. Skrelp then goes after Team Rocket as they are busy setting up to steal the safe. An Acid attack is sent towards [[James]]'s feet as the Skrelp with the bandage shows itself to them, telling them to leave or they're going to pay. [[Jessie]] corrects it, announcing that they're going to get paid after they obtain the treasure. Ash and the others demand to know what Team Rocket are up to. Jessie presses a button on a remote, revealing that the safe will blast off in mere moments. As smoke fills the entire area, Team Rocket use this as cover to make their escape. As Team Rocket run, Skrelp takes off after them, and Ash sends out {{AP|Froakie}} to follow Skrelp. Lindsey warns everyone that they need to get out immediately because once the safe opens up a hole, the ship will fill up with water. |

| With the winning group now decided, it is time for them to leave for the underwater adventure to search for the Cussler. Clemont and Bonnie watch as the submarine disappears under the water and Lindsey asks Eddy if the communication between the submarine and the boat is clear, which Eddy confirms. Down in the submarine, Serena watches a group of {{p|Qwilfish}} swim by, while Ash mentions the amount of {{p|Octillery}} on his side. Serena is impressed by the amount of Water-type Pokémon there are as the submarine continues to go deeper into the ocean. Serena notices three Skrelp, and recognizes the one they encountered earlier by the bandage Bonnie put on its head. As Serena and Ash are happy that Skrelp managed to find its friends, the submarine is suddenly caught in and swept away by the current, which causes an interference with the communication system. However, Lindsey isn't fazed by it but is instead excited that their theory about how the Cussler got swept away is proving to be correct. Serena becomes worried as the ship is quite close to them, but Lindsey handles things and gets them to safety. Ash notices the group of Skrelp following the sunken ship and Lindsey decides to follow them.
| | The safe breaks through the hull walls of the ship, creating a hole and heading straight for Team Rocket's submarine. However, as Team Rocket prepare to grab the safe, Skrelp floats in front of the periscope, startling Jessie as the Skrelp attacks their submarine with Sludge Bomb. Froakie then looks into the periscope as Jessie tries to shake him off, but he holds on tight. Lindsey's submarine emerges from the Cussler, and Lindsey fears the shipwreck will collapse from taking on too much water. Ash is determined not to let this happen, so he recruits the Dragalge and the other Water Pokémon to help out. The Pokémon try to hold the Cussler up, but change strategy after Ash suggests they seal it shut with a metal plate. The Dragalge use Acid to attach the metal seal to the Cussler, which does the trick as the structure stops collapsing. |

| After following the Skrelp and the sunken ship, they find another ship with a {{p|Milotic}} emblem, which Eddy then confirms is the Cussler, causing Clemont and Bonnie cheer in excitement. Two Pokémon emerge from the Cussler and approach the sunken ship from earlier as Ash scans the unfamiliar Pokémon with his Pokédex, learning that the two Pokémon are Dragalge. Lindsey then states that the Dragalge fused the two ships together as a group of {{p|Luvdisc}}, {{p|Chinchou}}, and {{p|Remoraid}} come out of the Cussler and begin playing with the group of Skrelp. Eddy explains that the Dragalge used {{m|Acid}} to fuse the two ships together to create one whole structure as Clemont adds that the Water Pokémon can then use the structure as their home. After watching how well the Water-type Pokémon get along, Lindsey then notices a bright light coming from the side of the ship, as do the Water Pokémon as Serena wonders where the light could be coming from.
| | Eddy radios in, glad to hear that the Cussler is safe, but warns Lindsey that the whirlpools are scheduled to return again. Now with the Cussler’s safe in hand, Team Rocket return to the surface, but find themselves surrounded and trapped by swirling whirlpools. The Magikarp submarine is eventually pulled into the vortex, blasting Team Rocket off and separating them from their stolen safe. As Lindsey, Ash, and Serena come to the surface in their own submarine, Ash wonders where Skrelp and Froakie are, eventually noticing that they're both trapped in a whirlpool. Lindsey reveals that not even Water-types are able to withstand the whirlpools. Ash desperately tells Froakie to jump. Froakie orders Skrelp to get on its back before making several jumps across several bits of debris. After successfully jumping, Froakie finishes off with one last big jump and is safely caught by Ash, and everyone is relieved that they are both alright. |

| The Dragalge begin to swim up to the light to investigate what is causing it as Eddy asks Lindsey what's going on. Lindsey investigates the strange light. It is revealed that the light was caused by Team Rocket's [[Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp submarine]] cutting through the side of the ship as Lindsey, Ash, and Serena arrive in their submarine, and upon arriving, Ash immediately recognizes the submarine as Team Rocket's. The sudden mention of the name confuses Eddy as Clemont explains who they are and what they do. Clearly not aware of their presence, Team Rocket enter the ship through the hole they just made and are followed closely by the Dragalge, and shortly after, by Lindsey's submarine. Once inside, Team Rocket begin searching for the treasure on the ship as the Skrelp and Dragalge emerge from the water, followed by Lindsey's submarine. Ash opens the lid of the submarine, but there is no sign of Team Rocket. Serena also looks outside, but the Skrelp and Dragalge notice them and begin to fire Acid at them, until Pikachu steps in and is recognized by the Skrelp with the bandage, who tells its friends to stop attacking. Skrelp then goes after Team Rocket as they are busy setting up to steal the safe. An Acid attack is sent towards [[James]]'s feet as the Skrelp with the bandage shows itself to them, telling them to leave or they're going to pay. [[Jessie]] corrects it, announcing that they're going to get paid after they obtain the treasure. Ash, Serena, Lindsey, and the Skrelp and Dragalge arrive, and Lindsey asks what Team Rocket is doing here. Team Rocket reveal that they're here to steal the sunken treasure. When Serena asks how they're planning the get away with stealing the treasure, Jessie presses a button on a remote, revealing that the safe will blast off in mere moments. As smoke cloud fills the entire area, Team Rocket use this as cover to make their escape. As Team Rocket run, Skrelp takes off after them, and Ash sends out Froakie to follow Skrelp. Lindsey warns everyone that they need to get out immediately because once the safe opens up a hole, the entire area will become filled with water.
| | As the evening set in, Ash and his friends wave goodbye to the Skrelp and Dragalge, who return to their underwater home. Eddy reveals that they were able to pinpoint the exact current that carried the Cussler to the location it is now, but Lindsey remarks that she was impressed by the many Pokémon living down there, and that they were the real discovery. As Clemont compliments on Froakie’s incredible leap, Ash suddenly realizes that such a big leap might help him defeat the [[Cyllage Gym]]. |

| The safe breaks through the wall of the ship, creating a hole and heading straight for Team Rocket's submarine. However, as they prepare to grab the safe, Skrelp comes in view on the periscope, startling Jessie as the Skrelp attacks their submarine with Sludge Bomb. Froakie then looks into the periscope as Jessie tries to shake it off, but it holds on tight. Lindsey's submarine emerges from the hole in the ship and Lindsey notices that the entire Cussler is beginning to become unbalanced due to it filling up with so much water, and that it will eventually collapse. Ash decides to help prevent it from collapsing and asks the Dragalge to help them out, who in turn ask the other Water Pokémon to help out, as well. Meanwhile, Froakie is captured and swung around rapidly before being thrown at Skrelp. Team Rocket obtain the safe of treasure and make their way to the surface, but are followed by Froakie and Skrelp. Back at the Cussler, the Dragalge and the other Water Pokémon try their best to prevent the Cussler from collapsing by holding it up. Ash then suggests that they use a metal plate to seal up the hole, and while holding it up over the hole, the Dragalge use Acid to attach it to the Cussler, which does the trick as the structure stops collapsing.

| Eddy mentions how everyone's safety is what matters the most to him, and also reveals that the whirlpools will start to appear again soon. Team Rocket emerge from under the water with the safe still in their possession, but soon notice that the whirlpools have already began to appear around them, trapping them. Soon, their submarine is caught in one of the whirlpools, spinning them faster and faster until it blasts them off, causing them to drop the safe in the process. As Lindsey, Ash, and Serena come to the surface in their own submarine, Ash wonders where Skrelp and Froakie are as he looks off into the distance in the direction of the whirlpools, eventually noticing that they're both trapped in one of them. Lindsey reveals that not even Water-types are able to withstand the whirlpools, and Ash tells Froakie to jump. Froakie then tells Skrelp to get on its back as Froakie uses its amazing jumping abilities to jump from object to object caught in the whirlpool. After successfully jumping, Froakie finishes off with one last big jump and is safely caught by Ash, and everyone is relieved that they are both alright.

| Ash and his friends then wave goodbye to the Skrelp and Dragalge as they all go back home by diving under the water. Ash and Serena then wave goodbye to the Skrelp with the bandage on its head and hope that they see it again before it dives underwater, too. Eddy reveals that they were able to pinpoint the exact current that carried the Cussler to the location it is now, but Lindsey reveals that she was impressed by how many Pokémon were living down there, and that they were the real discovery. Bonnie says that Skrelp was alright thanks to Froakie and Clemont mentions how proud it should be of the big jump it made. Ash thinks about how it was a big jump, and decides to use it in the Gym battle against Grant; their next stop on their journey. | |
