'''Seafoam Island''' (Japanese: '''ビンヌ''' ''Binnes'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive location close to [[Pallet Town]]. It is a tropical holiday resort located near the ocean. For unknown reasons, the location was dubbed as [[Seafoam Islands|Seafoam Island]], a location from the {{pkmn|games}}. The anime location and the game location do not appear to share any connection. Whereas Binnes was implied to be on the mainland of Kanto, the dub name suggests the location is an island.
'''Seafoam Island''' (Japanese: '''ビンヌ''' ''Binnes'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive location close to [[Pallet Town]]. It is a tropical holiday resort located near the ocean. In the [[dub]], it shares its name with the [[Seafoam Islands]], a pair of icy islands in the [[core series]] games. However, in the original Japanese version, it is entirely unrelated to the game location.
 
In the original Japanese version, this location is implied to be on the mainland of Kanto. In the dub, it is an island that is said to be connected to [[Fuchsia City]] via a bridge.

Meanwhile, {{an|Giovanni}} decided to take a vacation on Seafoam Island. [[Jessie]] managed to capture a Shellder for her boss, but Giovanni was left unimpressed and ordered the {{TRT|trio}} to go to Professor Westwood V's laboratory and steal potentially invaluable information. During a confrontation between the trio and Ash and {{ashfr}}, Jessie's Shellder accidentally clamped onto Professor Westwood V's Slowpoke's tail, causing it to evolve into Slowbro and effectively solving the mystery Professor Westwood V was trying to solve. Slowbro blasted Team Rocket off and Ash and his friends eventually said their goodbyes to the professor.

In [[EP067|the next episode]] Ash and his friends stayed on Seafoam Island a little longer, with Ash continuing his training for the upcoming Pokémon League there. While jogging, they came across a large traffic jam. The local [[Officer Jenny]] explained that it was the surfing season, and many surfers from all over the world were coming to Seafoam Island to ride the famous Humungadunga, a giant wave that only appears once every 20 years.  
In the next episode, ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'', Ash and his friends stayed on Seafoam Island a little longer, with Ash continuing his training for the upcoming Pokémon League there. While jogging, they came across a large traffic jam. The local [[Officer Jenny]] explained that it was the surfing season, and many surfers from all over the world were coming to Seafoam Island to ride the famous Humungadunga, a giant wave that only appears once every 20 years.  


After trying to surf themselves, Ash and his friends eventually met up with {{OBP|Victor|EP067}}, a local surfer. During his first try 20 years ago, Victor had not been able to conquer the Humungadunga, but was planning to accomplish it this time alongside his {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Puka]]. With support from Ash and his friends, Victor ultimately succeeded in riding the Humungadunga and planted a flag on a tall rock near Binnes. He then proceeded to inspire young surfers who watched his legendary accomplishment from the beach.
