'''Pokémon Peril!''' | |||

Leaving Team Rocket to fend for themselves, the group finally locate the Crystal Onix's lair. Tracey decides to sketch it; Ash wants to catch it; but Mateo sends out a {{p|Cloyster}} and says the Onix belongs to him. Its attacks are next to useless on the Onix's hard crystal exterior. Before Mateo can battle further, Team Rocket shows up. They are swiftly defeated by the Onix's powerful tail, and sent "blasting off again". Mateo then sends out his {{p|Charmeleon}}. After a short battle, he is about to throw a Poké Ball, but then changes his mind. Simply seeing the Crystal Onix is all the inspiration he needed. Returning to the mainland, Mateo carves Ash a gift: a crystal Pikachu, which looks exactly like {{AP|the real thing|Pikachu}}. | Leaving Team Rocket to fend for themselves, the group finally locate the Crystal Onix's lair.

===In the Pink=== | |||
The | After leaving Sunburst Island, Lapras finds itself in rough waters, and gets caught in a whirlpool. The whirlpool takes Ash, Misty and Tracey to a beach, with them clueless on how they arrived. Tracey alludes that they may be on [[Pinkan Island]], an island surrounded by whirlpools that makes travel there very difficult. The ascend a cliff to reach an open plain, and discover a {{p|Rhyhorn}} eating pink fruit on a tree. The fruit had turned Rhyhorn completely Pink. Tracey attempts to get a closer look, carefully crawling behind bushes. Ash, indignant in Tracey's approach, runs across to Rhyhorn in a blasé fashion. Ash hides behind the same bushes as Tracey, but Rhyhorn spots them and starts chasing them towards the cliff. Suddenly Ash and his friends disappear and reappear near another tree, leaving Rhyhorn to hurtle itself off the cliff. Rhyhorn manages to save itself by landing on a tree branch. | ||
Ash and the others are bemused on how they escaped, as none of their Pokémon have obvious teleporting abilities, although Misty suspects {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} did it. [[Officer Jenny]] then appears, angry at the kids for being on the island, as it is a protected reserve. Misty point Jenny to the Rhyhorn in trouble, and using her jeep, Officer Jenny is able to rescue it by having Tracey and Ash climb down and attach ropes to it. Pikachu eats of the pink fruit, and its tail turns pink. Officer Jenny explains that Pinkanberries turn all the Pokémon on the island pink, making them rather sought for by poachers. Officer Jenny takes the kids to the Ranger Station, on their way passing numerous pink Pokémon. | |||
{{TRT}} also happen to be on the island, fascinated by the pink Pokémon, planning to steal them all to make a lot of money. Meanwhile, at the ranger station, Ash and the others observe the pink Pokémon when a horde of {{p|Nidoran}} approah the station, followed by {{TRT}}, who appear to be running away from something. Officer Jenny herds the Nidoran, and an enraged {{p|Nidoking}} attacks Team Rocket. They send out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} to try and stop the Nidoking. The succeed, but Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on them. Unfortunately this makes Nidoking angrier, and they hurtle Team Rocket into the sky. Nidoking chases Officer Jenny's jeep, and Misty attempts to help by sending out {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. However, {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} appears instead. Tracey tried to use his Marill, but it was too late, as Nidoking sends a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at the jeep. However the jeep is teleported to a different location, confusing the Nidoking. Misty believes it was Togepi again, but Ash refuses to believe that Togepi is capable of that. | |||
===Snack Attack=== | |||
Ash, Misty and Tracey head towards the [[Grapefruit Islands]], a prospect that delights Ash. Upon arriving at the island, Ash attempts to eat a grapefruit, but it stopped by a woman, assuming they are thieves. The woman introduces herself as [[Ruby_(anime)|Ruby]], and protects the grapefruit from being stolen by thieves. Ruby is contacted by two colleagues, who lead the group to a destroyed grove of trees. Ruby surmises that a {{p|Snorlax}}is the only cause of this, and head to its location. Ruby's colleagues attempt to stop Snorlax, but they fail. Ash sends out {{TP|Ash|Bulbasaur}} and commands it to use {{m|Vine Whip}} to harvest grapefruit. Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} to assist. However, before they can get the grapefruit to Ruby, Snorlax appears, and starts to eat the grapefruit. Ash commands Bulbasaur to use {{m|Razor Leaf}} on Snorlax, but all this achieves is slicing the grapefruit into pieces. Snorlax then uses {{m|Body Slam}} on Bulbasaur, knocking it out. Ash and his friends follow Snorlax as it has finished all the fruit on the island. However Snorlax starts swimming to the next island. Ash sends out Lapras to pursue Snorlax to the next island. | |||
When they arrive on the next island, they find Snorlax next to a pile of grapefruit, a pile that Team Rocket had stolen. Both Team Rocket and Ash and Misty plan to stop Snorlax on his feast. Ash sends out {{TP|Ash|Squirtle}} to use {{m|Skull Bash}}, but this fails. Misty accidentally sends out {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}} and quickly recalls it before Snorlax eats it. [[Jessie]] sends out her Lickitung, but Snorlax uses its tongue to wipe its mouth. Pikachu then attempts to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but this also fails. [[James]] attempts to hypnotise Snorlax, but ends up hypnotising himself. After attempting to lullaby it, Snorlax hits Team Rocket, hurtling them to the sky. Misty suggests using {{an|Jigglypuff}} to put Snorlax to sleep, but has no idea where to find it. Ruby appears, and they decide to bait both Jigglypuff and Snorlax, which works, and Jigglypuff uses {{m|Sing}}. Snorlax falls asleep, and Ash manages to capture {{TP|Ash|it|Snorlax}}. | |||
