In this episode, [[Kurt]] helped {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} to harvest Apricorns, making Poké Balls from the three White Apricorns, two Blue Apricorns, and one Black Apricorn that were found and giving Brock, Misty, and Ash each a Fast Ball, Brock a Heavy Ball, and Ash and Misty each a Lure Ball for later use. | ||
While Apricorns themselves have not been seen since, all three characters who received one caught a Pokémon each with an Apricorn Ball, with Brock using his Fast Ball on a {{TP|Brock|Pineco|Forretress}}, Ash and Misty using their Lure Balls on a {{AP|Totodile}} and subsequently fighting over the custody of it, and Misty later using hers alone on a {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}. Presumably, Ash and Misty still have their unused Fast Balls, and Brock still has his unused Heavy Ball. Another Heavy Ball, likely also made by Kurt, was used in ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down]]'', though it was not Brock's. | While Apricorns themselves have not been seen since, all three characters who received one caught a Pokémon each with an Apricorn Ball, with Brock using his Fast Ball on a {{TP|Brock|Pineco|Forretress}}, Ash and Misty using their Lure Balls on a {{AP|Totodile}} and subsequently fighting over the custody of it, and Misty later using hers alone on a {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}.
