<i>Ash has arrived at Metallica Island, home of the Battle Palace. He's ready for battle, but Sceptile isn't—its attack moves still aren't working and it runs away in frustration. When Ash follows, they're attacked by a swarm of Beedrill and fall into a river, losing Sceptile's Poké Ball along the way! Pikachu is washed away, but Ash manages to grab Sceptile. Scott finds Ash's friends and tells them this is the time of year when the island's Kakuna evolve, so the Beedrill are extra vigilant—everyone had better grab some Repel and find Ash fast. | |||
Elsewhere in the forest, a kind old man and his Venusaur rescue Pikachu and take care of it at their campsite. Scott finds the campsite and introduces Ash's friends to Spenser, head of the Battle Palace! Spenser encourages everyone to take a rest before they resume looking for Ash. | |||
Ash and Sceptile continue to search for Pikachu, but the Beedrill chase them to a dead end. Ash is hurt protecting Sceptile, and Pikachu and the others arrive just in time to calm the Beedrill down. Team Rocket then swoops in, snatching Pikachu and Sceptile. Ash tries to stop them from escaping in their balloon, but Jessie's Dustox knocks him off. Seeing this, Sceptile uses its moves to rescue Ash, though the effort leaves it worn out. A little healing from Spenser's Chansey restores Sceptile's strength, and now it can finally send Team Rocket blasting off! With Pikachu found and Sceptile back to normal, Ash challenges Spenser to a battle—after a good night's rest for everyone, of course.</i> | |||
==Plot== | |||
As the episode begins, {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} are out behind the local [[Pokémon Center]], preparing for their next challenges. Ash is training for the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Palace}}, and {{an|May}} is training with {{TP|May|Eevee}} for her upcoming {{Pkmn|Contest}}. May calls for a {{m|Shadow Ball}}, and Eevee shows off its new move. Meanwhile, {{an|Brock}} is bottle-feeding {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}} as he and [[Max]] watch their friends train and comment on how excited they are. Now Ash has his Pokémon practice their attacks. {{AP|Donphan}}'s {{m|Rollout}} smashes through a boulder. Corphish's {{m|BubbleBeam}} splits the flying rocks from the smashed boulder into smaller pieces. Swellow practices its {{m|Quick Attack}}, and Sceptile attempts a {{m|Bullet Seed}}, but fails! Sceptile is both astonished and angry at itself for still not being able to attack. | |||
Sceptile continues to try and fail, and falls to its knees in despair. Ash's other Pokémon attempt to comfort it, as do Ash and Pikachu, but their attempts don't seem to have any effect. Sceptile suddenly gets up and runs off into the woods in anguish. Ash and Pikachu immediately run off after it, while the other Pokémon and humans are worried about Sceptile. Brock comments that maybe the best thing for Sceptile would be for it to have some time alone with Ash and reestablish their bond. Ahead, Sceptile continues to run on, blindly, then reaches a tree and begins beating its head against it. After several hits, it backs up in pain, and drops to its hands and knees in despair. Ash then catches up, and tries again to encourage Sceptile. But both Sceptile and Pikachu quickly hear something approaching, and we then see a swarm of Beedrill emerge! They dive down to attack, and Ash desperately has Pikachu Thunderbolt them. But as soon as the attack drives off a group of them, another group appears to take its place! There are far too many here for Pikachu alone to deal with, so Ash turns to Sceptile and says they have to go. The group flees, with the Beedrill in pursuit. But they haven't run very far when they find themselves cornered on the edge of a cliff! There's a raging river in front of them, and an angry swarm of Beedrill behind them. As the Beedrill approach, Sceptile steps in front of Ash. Sceptile cringes as it takes a barrage of attacks! Ash holds up Sceptile's [[Poké Ball]] to recall it, but before he can, the Beedrill knock Sceptile back into Ash, causing him to drop the Poké Ball, and causing the three of them to fall into the river! Ash grabs hold of a rock in the river and calls out for Pikachu and Sceptile. Sceptile is carried towards him, and Ash grabs its arm before it goes past. Just then, the river also carries Pikachu past, but neither Ash nor Sceptile can reach it! The river carries Pikachu off as Ash cries out to it, swearing to find it as soon as he can. | Sceptile continues to try and fail, and falls to its knees in despair.

Meanwhile, | Meanwhile, {{TRT}} hides under a box, also worried about the Beedrill. A swarm of them appear and dive for Team Rocket, who quickly withdraws inside their box/shield. They gloat that they're safe now, as they seem protected, but just then, the Beedrill manage to puncture the box and tear it apart! Team Rocket flees in fear, with the swarm in pursuit. | ||
Back at the Pokémon Center, May, Max, and Brock are worried because Ash, Pikachu, and Sceptile still haven't returned. They hear a voice behind them, and are greeted by Scott, who wonders where Ash is. May tells Scott what happened, and this alarms him. He explains that this is the time when the local Kakuna normally evolve into Beedrill, and there are a lot of them in the area. Now that they realize Ash and the others may be in danger, they decide to go look for them. | Back at the Pokémon Center, May, Max, and Brock are worried because Ash, Pikachu, and Sceptile still haven't returned.

Sceptile now lies down to go to sleep. Ash apologizes to it, since it would've been more comfortable in its Poké Ball, but this is the best they can do. Ash looks up at the moon and thinks about Pikachu, hoping that Pikachu is okay. | ||
Somewhere downriver, a very weak Pikachu struggles ashore and collapses, lacking even the strength to remain standing. Heavy approaching footsteps can be heard. They turn out to be coming from a Venusaur, with an old man riding on it. | Somewhere downriver, a very weak Pikachu struggles ashore and collapses, lacking even the strength to remain standing.

But Team Rocket won't give up that easily. They land their balloon and prepare for battle. Spenser interrupts and says that they should almost be thanked, since it was their interference that allowed Sceptile to regain its confidence. Jessie angrily cuts him off and calls for a {{m|Tackle}} from Dustox, as James calls for a {{m|Needle Arm}}. Ash calls for a Leaf Blade, and one strike is enough to send Cacnea and Dustox reeling, much to Jessie and James' surprise. Ash now calls for Bullet Seed, which sends them blasting off. | But Team Rocket won't give up that easily. They land their balloon and prepare for battle.

* The English title of this episode is very similar to that of [[EP269|a previous episode]]. Both are references to the stock phrase "the ties that bind". | |||
* Ash's Sceptile and Brock's Bonsly are outside of their Pokéballs for the entire episode. | |||
===Errors=== | |||
*When Sceptile is first seen running through the woods, its teeth are colored red rather than the normal white. <!-- Its mouth might just be open, though; it's hard to tell. --> | |||
