BW037: Difference between revisions

This episode was originally scheduled to air in Japan on April 7, 2011, as the 26th episode of the Best Wishes series, but it was postponed, along with the original [[BW023 (unaired)|BW023]] and [[BW024 (unaired)|BW024]], because of the {{wp|2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami|Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}}.

The episode starts off with {{Ash}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|Iris}} continuing on their journey to [[Nimbasa City]]. They notice everyone crowding around a certain area--naturally, all of them get curious. Ash was just about to go in and see what was going on, when he is suddenly knocked into a wall-enclosed river by {{an|Bianca}}, who apologizes, halting his attempts. Meanwhile after Ash was knocked into the water, a female {{p|Frillish}} notices him. While trying to dry his clothes with a fire, Ash asks her why she was in such a hurry. She tells him that she was going to enter a fishing competition. This convinces Ash, Iris, and Cilan to enter as well. Cilan becomes very ecstatic, exclaiming that he is a Fishing Connoisseur. During his Connoisseur lecture, he was picturing that he was fishing on a boat.

While everyone begins to fish, Bianca winds up her fishing rod but hooks onto Ash's jacket. Cilan had to unhook the rod after it got caught. Cilan begins to demonstrate the proper way to use the fishing rod. He explains to everyone that they must be patient waiting for the Pokémon to grab onto the line. When the Pokémon does grab onto the line, he explains that they must wait patiently for the Pokémon to full tug on the line and then reel it in. Cilan reels in a blue-striped {{p|Basculin}} which flops around in the water after being reeled in. Ash looks up Basculin in his Pokédex. Cilan reels Basculin to the surface ready for battle. He brings out {{p|Pansage}} for battle. Basculin uses {{m|Water Gun}} to knock Pansage into the water. Basculin uses {{m|Bite}} while Pansage tries to swim to the surface. Pansage tries to swim away while Basculin uses {{m|Aqua Tail}}. Pansage jumps out to use {{m|Bullet Seed}} and then {{m|SolarBeam}} to knock out Basculin. Cilan throws a {{Ball|Poké}} to capture Basculin. Red-striped Basculin, Alomomola, and Blue-striped Basculin were battled and caught by other Trainers. Iris tries to fish but becomes bored with it taking so long for a Pokémon to bite the line that she went into the water to grab a Pokémon herself. Iris grabs a Blue-striped Basculin and is both whistled and yellow carded by James.  

Team Rocket grabs the Poké Balls and heads out to the boat to make their getaway, but notice that the boat is getting away. A female Frillish moves the boat away from them. Everyone finds Team Rocket and realizes that the whole competition was fake and they were trying to steal all of the Poké Balls. Team Rocket calls out {{p|Woobat}} and {{p|Yamask}}, while Ash scans Yamask with his Pokédex. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Pansage uses Bullet Seed which Yamask blocks to protect Woobat. Pikachu uses {{m|Iron Tail}} on Yamask, and Pansage uses {{m|Bite}} on Woobat to defeat them. Everyone begins to notice that all of the Poké Balls are empty and that the female Frillish released them. Team Rocket gets away on their jet packs after Yamask uses {{m|Haze}}. Cilan searches for the golden fishing rod and realizes that it was broken and fake. Bianca tells them that she is going to the Desert Resort to train hard and leaves them.

* Ash and friends encounter {{an|Bianca}} again.

* {{an|Cilan}} captures a {{p|Basculin}}. However, it is later released.

* [[Professor Oak's lecture|Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]]: {{p|Scraggy}}

* This episode was originally supposed to be the 26th episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}} and was supposed to fall in between ''[[BW023|Battling for the Love of Bug-types!]]'' and ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]'', formerly the 25th and 27th episodes, respectively. It was also originally titled '''ヒウンシティのつり大会！釣りソムリエ・デント登場！！''' ''Fishing Conference of {{tt|Hiun City|Castelia City}}! Fisher {{tt|Sommelier|Connoisseur}} - {{tt|Dent|Cilan}} Appears!!'' in Japan before it was postponed.

* Clips from this episode were first shown in the [[Professor Oak's lecture|Pokémon Live Caster]] following ''[[BW033|Iris and Excadrill Against the Dragon Buster!]]''.

** All references to the gang being in [[Castelia City]] have been removed.

** The ending has been altered to show {{an|Bianca}} leaving the group, contradicting the two episodes following where it was intended to air, in which she is traveling with them.

** Team Rocket's jet packs are shown more closely than during their previous uses, indicating that they were being used for the first time, although they were already shown in ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]''.

* In the [[Pokémon in Latin America|Latin American dub]], James's line ''"Everything seems in order to me!"'' is changed to ''"{{tt|Pues no veo nada porque tengo el ojo cerrado...|Well, I can't see anything because my eye is closed...}}"''. This is for comical purposes, as during the scene he actually doesn't open his eyes at all. Jessie then states that it doesn't matter and that they can have the fishing Poké Balls anyway.
