Mother and child reunited
Ash and Lillie visit Aether Paradise. Team Rocket is also there on another odd job. But will their cover be blown when a Stufful that's in the Sanctuary starts to follow them around?
This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
- Big Damn Reunion: Stufful and Bewear
- Gender Reveal: Bewear is revealed not just to be female, but a mother. Meowth translates Stufful as referring to Bewear as its mother.
- My Greatest Failure: This explains why Bewear is so nurturing to Team Rocket: she had lost track of her Stufful cub.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Sandwich: Bewear left her leaf full of honey in the Sanctuary. Wicke spotted it at the end of the episode.
- Villain Ball: When the still disguised Team Rocket are caught with Stufful, they insist they didn't steal it. Faba then lampshades why they are running from them if they weren't. Team Rocket lament that error between themselves, and that just giving them back Stufful would have actually been a whole lot less suspicious.
