Ash and company are approaching Chargestone Cave on the way to Mistralton City when they discover Joltik clinging to their Electric-type Pokémon and draining their electricity! They head for the nearest Pokémon Center to heal Pikachu, Stunfisk, and Emolga, and bump into their friend Bianca, whose Xtransceiver’s battery ran out of battery. Nurse Joy offers a quick recharge, and Bianca calls Professor Juniper, who has set up a basecamp at Chargestone Cave, where she and her staff are doing research.
Tropes
- Beef Gate: The Door that blocked the entrance to Chargestone Cave, created by Team Rocket.
- Burning with Anger: Bianca, after seeing Team Rocket's criminal activities.
- Overused Running Gag: Bianca accidentally knocking Ash into a body of water... Twice.
- Scissors Cuts Rock:
- Joltik draining electric energy from the Pokeball Stunfisk is in. Since Stunfisk is also part ground, anything electric should not harm it.
- Minccino's Swift hitting Yamask, despite normal moves doing nothing to ghost-type Pokemon.
- Took A Level In Bad Ass: Cilan's Dwebble... evolving into Crustle.
- You Are Too Late: While Team Rocket was defeated in battle, they escaped and gathered enough Chargestone rocks for their mission.
