'''A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!''' (Japanese: '''ピカチュウとデデンネ！ほっぺすりすり！！''' ''Pikachu and Dedenne! {{tt|Cheek Rub|Nuzzle}}!!'') is the fourth episode of ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', and the 803rd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on October 31, 2013 and in the United States on February 8, 2014.

==Blurb==

 

Meanwhile, our heroes are on their way to Santalune City for Ash’s first Gym battle, and Bonnie is demonstrating just how much she loves to take care of Pokémon. She gives Pikachu a bath, then helps Fletchling clean its wings. The two Pokémon are happily settling in for some snacks when the Dedenne our heroes encountered earlier leaps out of a nearby bush and nabs the food! Bonnie wants Clemont to catch this adorable Pokémon for her, but it goes running off, and everyone follows.

 

 

Our heroes catch up, a fierce battle ensues, and Team Rocket is left empty-handed—but Dedenne has been hurt. To restore it, Clemont produces another one of his inventions. This electric generator quickly gets Dedenne recharged, but then Clemont can’t turn the machine off, and it explodes. Dedenne is OK, though, and with Clemont’s gift of healing electricity, it’s decided it wants to join the group. Clemont and Bonnie have a new Pokémon friend!

 

Meanwhile, as she travels through an ominous forest, Serena realizes it’ll be getting dark soon. She wants to find a Pokémon Center where she and Fennekin can stay for the night. She sees someone behind a tree and asks for directions—but what looked like a woman in a striped dress turns out to be a wild Vespiquen! When it attacks, Fennekin leaps to Serena’s rescue and scares it off. Then, Nurse Joy and Wigglytuff show up to investigate the sounds of battle—and point the way to the nearby Pokémon Center. Relieved and happy, Serena races Fennekin all the way there!</i>

Having arrived in [[Lumiose City]] to begin her own {{pkmn|journey}}, {{an|Serena}} receives a [[Pokédex]] from {{an|Professor Sycamore}}, as she chooses one of the three [[Kalos]] [[first partner Pokémon]]. She scans each Pokémon with her new Pokédex and exclaims to Professor Sycamore that she has already decided before she left home. Her choice is revealed to be {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}.

 

 

Ash then allows Bonnie to feed Pikachu and Fletchling some [[Pokémon food]]. However, a {{p|Dedenne}} runs up to Bonnie, snatches a piece of Pokémon food from her hand, and runs up a tree to eat it. The three are shocked, as they realize that this Dedenne is the same one that ran away from them [[XY003|earlier]]. Bonnie still desperately wants the Dedenne, but it runs away again, so the three chase after it. Ash asks Fletchling to follow Dedenne by air, but it loses sight of the Antenna Pokémon. While searching, Bonnie trips over a small hole and sees Dedenne in a similar hole. The group attempt to catch Dedenne, but it continues to evade them by appearing in the different holes along the path. Clemont and Ash send {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}'s and Pikachu respectively to try corner Dedenne underground. Pikachu eventually blocks Dedenne’s path underground before tackling Dedenne. However the ground underfoot gives way, sending the two {{t|Electric}} types rolling out of a cliff face and landing in a field. The two Electric Pokémon start communicating via electricity to try and find their way back. However, the keen-eyed {{TRT}} spot the pair and decide to capture Pikachu and Dedenne for themselves.

 

 

 

 

With the sun setting, Serena and her new Fennekin are worried about having to camp outside. Serena notices a "person" along the path who she goes to ask for directions. The "person" turns out to be a {{p|Vespiquen}} which attacks them, but Fennekin saves the day when she repels the Vespiquen with an {{m|Ember}} attack. The Vespiquen flies away before a passing [[Nurse Joy]] and her {{TP|Nurse Joy|Wigglytuff}} arrive. Serena asks if a Pokémon Center is nearby, and is thrilled to learn that one is just up ahead.

==Trivia==

* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Bunnelby}}

* This episode reveals that {{MTR}} cannot translate {{type|Electric}} Pokémon's electrical language.

** This contradicts the events of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where Meowth translates the electrical language used between Ash's Pikachu and {{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Zapdos}}. It should be noted, however, that both Zapdos and Pikachu were also verbally communicating at the same time during the movie.

* This episode marks the first appearance of a {{p|Vespiquen}} in the {{pkmn|anime}} since its cameo in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', over three years earlier.

* {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} narrate the preview for the [[XY005|next episode]].
