EP184: Difference between revisions

The episode begins with {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} waiting for {{an|Brock}} to finish cooking. Ash starts admiring his [[Badge]]s. {{AP|Pikachu}} sees something and catches everyone's attention. {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} goes and three {{p|Murkrow}} emerge from the bushes. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] and finds out that they steal shiny objects. The Murkrow steal his badges! Ash sends out {{AP|Noctowl}} who knocks the Murkrow out of the tree. Ash cheers but the Murkrow fight back by throwing mud in Ash's face. Noctowl follows them, but they attack at once and [[Fainting|knock it out]]. Brock uses his {{TP|Brock| Crobat|Golbat}}'s {{m|Supersonic}} to track the Murkrow. Ash goes over asks them for the badges, but they {{m|fly}} off. Golbat tries to follow, but it gets knocked out. Pikachu knocks out the {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon at once with a {{m|ThunderShock}}. Pikachu is captured by {{TRT}}.The Murkrow pop the Team rocket balloon and steal [[James]]'s bottle cap collection which really angers him. James tries to get them, but he trips and Murkrow fly away with their stash. James continues to try and get back his prized collection by trying to [[Caught Pokémon|capture]] Murkrow with a net, but Team Rocket gets a boulder instead and gets thrown away. After another win, Murkrow yet again admire their loot.  

Ash says that he needs to get his badges back and uses his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to climb the hill. On the top of the hill, he spies on the Murkrow and makes a plan. Ash tries to sneak up to them and snatch the badges, but he gets {{m|peck}}ed and knocked down the hill. The Murkrow start to mock Ash. Suddenly the Murkrow see something shiny, but it is only a diversion. Everything was going great until Togepi blows their cover. After another failure that causes Pineco to get blown up, Ash has a plan and sends in Noctowl. Noctowl flies in and [[wp:Apparent death|plays dead]] and the Murkrow let their guard down and Noctowl snatches the badges. Team Rocket attacks with a [[Team Rocket's mechas|giant robot resembling a giant Murkrow]]. They go on a rampage and steal everything insight.  

The Murkrow are about to be sucked away, but Ash saves them. Pikachu ends getting caught which results in our heroes fighting back! Noctowl and Murkrow team up and go in, which results in the robot short-circuiting which releases Pikachu. Pikachu delivers a {{m|Thunderbolt}} which sends Team Rocket blasting off again. Ash gets back his missing {{badge|Fog}} Badge and thanks the Murkrow for their help and with that Ash and {{ashfr}} are off for more adventures.

*The dub title of this episode is a reference to the phrase, "All that glitters is not gold", which is also used by the dub title of ''[[AG173|All That Glitters is Not Golden]]''.

* When {{Ash}} is talking about all the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that helped him earn his [[Johto League]] [[badge]]s, he mentions {{p|Pidgeotto}} (whilst actually showing a {{p|Pidgeot}}) and {{p|Scyther}}. The Pokémon shown belonged to [[Falkner]] and [[Bugsy]], respectively, and not to Ash (who, in fact, never even owned a Scyther).
