Now, For some reason... When Pokemon XY was out, this episode was apparently in Kalos Quest due to a real life event that happened in South Korea and so the episode with Skrelp and Dragalge was initially postponed due to the sinking of a ferry despite Ash and Grant having their battle afterwards. So I hope they don't take this down but the episode will be here in XY instead of VOL 2, There won't be any Be A Hero song. Thank you for the apologies.

During their journey across the Kalos Region, our heroes visited the Muraille Coast before Ash and Alex's gym battle against Grant at the Cyllage City gym. There was more training to come but first, time for a delicious lunch.
"Yum! That was good!" Alex said as he finished up his lunch happily as Ash got up from his chair.
"Yeah, That was great! Thanks, Now time to train! Let's do some more work on Quick Attack and Double Team so we can be ready for Grant's Rock Tomb!" Ash said as he told his team about what their plan was and working on their moves.
"Right!" Froakie said as he was ready with some training.
"Okay!" Fletchling said as he joined in too.
"Right away, Ash!" Pikachu said as he was well beyond ready.
"Yeah, We better keep ourselves safe before we get hit by Rock Tomb. If we don't beat it, we won't win the badge." Alex said as he got up and talked to his Pokemon about training.
"Right away!" Gastly and Pidget said as they had determined looks on their face.
"Okie-Dokie." Magnemite said as he had a determined look on his face, but Serena had an idea!
"Before that, why don't we have a little fun with this?" Serena said as she looked for something before pulling out the fishing rod that Rodman gave to them.
"Huh? That's one of the rods we got at Ambrette Aquarium!" Ash exclaimed as he realized what Serena had in her hand.
"Yup! We are at the beach. Too much training will only stress you out!" Serena said as she knew that training would stress them out.
"She's right!" Bonnie said as Alex was uncertain about it.
"I don't know, I feel like I get fired up with my Pokemon if I train." Alex said as he really wanted to train, not have some fun since he needed to have a chance against Grant.
"Well, Maybe both of you can catch a really, really cute Pokemon!" Bonnie said as she had an idea if they would do it.
"To be friends with!" Dedenne cheerily said.
"Right! Like with that Corsola!" Serena said as she remembered the Corsola, this got Clemont an idea to propose.
"You already have a Froakie, Ash. But if both of you catch a Water-Type, you'll probably have a much easier time when you go up against Grant, who uses Rock types!" Clemont said as he knew Ash had a Froakie.
"You know what, Yeah! That should help with the advantage!" Alex said, now that using a Water-Type along with a Steel-type could make it easier.
"Now you're talking! Great! What do you say we get our rod?" Ash said as he looked at Pikachu.
"Alright!" Pikachu said as the group got an idea.
"..." Soon the group was sitting on the rock, using their fishing rods in the water as they waited to relax and wait for a Pokemon to reel out of the water to have a chance on catching the Pokemon..
"Can't wait to see what Pokemon i'll catch. I'm sure it'll be great!" Serena said as she was excited, this got Bonnie overjoyed to see what will happen.
"Huh?! I got a bite!" Ash said as he felt a tug on his fishing rod.
"Alright!" Pikachu exclaimed as he was amazed to see what will happen.
"You do." Froakie said as he wasn't really intrigued.
"Come on, Reel it in! Although I hoped to get something..." Alex said as he cheered on Ash before realizing he wanted a bite so bad.
"Man, this thing's pretty strong!" Ash said as he began to battle back what was going against his fishing rod.
"Ah!" Serena gasped as she was excited to see what Ash will reel in.
"Oh goody, goody! What could it be? Corsola? A Clamperl? Or a Wailord?!" Bonnie squealed as she couldn't wait to see what it was!
"I'm gonna catch it no matter what!" Ash said as he got it in the ready position.
"Nyaaaah!" Ash said as he reeled it out, with the thing being a kelpy thing with all shapes and it looked like a monster!
"Whoa!" The group gasped as Bonnie was amazed.
"Look at that!" Bonnie said as Ash got it up close to him. But it wasn't a Pokemon.
"Huh?" Ash said as he looked to reel up a bunch of kelpy things.
"Haha! Nope!" Alex laughed and shook his head.
"Grrrrr!" Ash growled as he looked at Alex, which caused Alex to be smug.
"Too bad, It's just a bunch of kelp." Serena said as it seemed like nothing.
"Not true, he actually did caught something." Clemont said as he realized Ash did get something, but it was hard to see.
"Huh?" Ash said as he looked harder.
"What?! Let me see." Alex said as they noticed the kelp had some purple on it, it's eyes shot open and it suddenly went feisty.
"Hmph! GRRAAGHHH!" The Kelpy small monster cried out as it attacked Ash right in the face!
I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
(Pokémon!)
(Gotta catch 'em all), it's you and me
(Pokémon!)
I know it's my destiny
(Pokémon!)
Yeah, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
(Pokémon!)
(Gotta catch 'em all)
Gotta catch 'em all
Gotta catch 'em all!
Pokémon!
EPISODE 26: An Undersea Place to Call Home! (Ash)
EPISODE 26: A Secret Underwater! The Powerful Skrelp! (Alex)
"Gwaaah! Muwwaahh! Ah! That hurt's! Man! I didn't know you were a Pokemon!" Ash cried out as he was attacked by it before he yanked it off, didn't know that what he held in his hands was a Pokemon!
"Hey, it's hurt!" Bonnie said as she noticed it had a bruise on it's forehead.
"Huh?" Ash said as he looked over at Bonnie.
"Yeah, it's got a bruise or something." Alex mentioned as they saw the bruise clearly in front of them.
"Wait, I got a bandage." Bonnie said as she dug in her bag, pulled out a band-aid and took off the cover.
"..." Bonnie placed the band-aid where the Pokemon had it's bruise at which was near it's head.
"Hmm, there. It'll be fine now." Bonnie said as the group smiled and loved the Pokemon, but the Kelpy Pokemon didn't like the group one bit.
"GRAGH! Hragh!" The Pokemon cried out as it squimmered so much.
"Huh?!" The group cried out as it fled from Ash's hands and let go.
"Argh!" The Pokemon scampered as it went right back into the water.
"Well, there it goes." Alex said as the Pokemon suddenly surfaced.
"Jerks.." The Pokemon muttered angrily.
"Who is that Pokemon?" Alex said as he pulled out his Pokedex and scanned at the Pokemon.
"Skrelp. The Mock Kelp Pokemon. A Poison type. Skrelp camouflages itself as rotten kelp while it stores up energy unitl it's able to evolve." The Pokedex read about Skrelp and it's ability to camouflage as a kelp.
"Huh? I've never seen a Skrelp before." Ash said as Alex began to shout at the Skrelp.
"What's it's problem though? HEY! what's with you and attacking Ash!? Huh?!" Alex angrily scolded and shouted at Skrelp, which made it retaliate.
"Ourraggh! Sluddge Bommbb!" Skrelp growled and it fired off a big sludge bomb to retaliate back.
"Aaah!" The group cried out as they hid behind the rock they were just fishing at with all of their rods.
"Why is it so mad?!" Ash exclaimed, wondering why was it angry at them of all people?
"Maybe it thinks we're it's enemies!" Serena said but how could they?
"We're not!" Clemont exclaimed, knowing that isn't true!
"Then what do we do?" Alex said as Pikachu decided to step up.
"Hurmph!" Pikachu said as he got to the rock they were on.
"Pikachu, wait!" Ash exclaimed but it was too late.
"Knock it off, man!" Pikachu shouted which made Skrelp stop but not it's anger.
"Oh yeah!? TOXIC!" Skrelp said as it stopped and fired a purple blob from it's mouth and hit Pikachu in the face.
"Haaph!" Pikachu splattered as he landed with Purple all over him, he was poisoned!
"Eek!" The group cried out as they noticed Pikachu was hurt..
"Pikachu, no!" Ash said as he leaned over Pikachu as a shield.
"That was toxic!" Alex said, knowing what that was. They looked over to see Skrelp stop.
"Pikachu, are you okay!?" Ash asked as he held Pikachu in his arms.
"Go somewhere else!" Skrelp said as it went back under the water.
"Pikachu!" Serena said as she was worried.
"What's with that Skrelp!?" Alex said, wondering what was wrong with Skrelp.
"He needs to get help right away!" Bonnie said, knowing Pikachu had to be treated.
"The Pokemon Center, now!" Clemont said, knowing that was the only way.
"Right!" Ash said as the group had to hurry.
"..." The group headed to the stairway to get themselves to hurry to the Pokemon center as a white van pulled out as someone saw what was going on as he rolled down the window, wondering what was wrong.
"Hi. Is something wrong?" The man asked as the group tried to hurry to a Pokemon Center.
"My Pikachu was attacked and got hurt!" Ash said as he explained the situation.
"It was something named Skrelp that used Toxic or something!" Alex said as he told them.
"Huh? It looks like it's been badly poisoned." The Man said as it seemed like a woman crowded the man in worry.
"Ah!? You're Pikachu needs to be treated right now! There should be an antidote first-aid kit!" The woman cried out as she knew it needed to be treated, she then began to look for a first-aid kit.
"Huh...?" Alex said as the woman was really genuine for them.
"That should do it." The woman said as she managed to treat Pikachu from it's poison that Skrelp made as he was poison free.
"Ah..! I feel amazing!" Pikachu said as he was feeling better.
"Pikachu!" Ash said as he hugged Pikachu happily.
"That was close." Alex sighed in relief, it was over.
"You're alright! Thank you so much!" Ash said as he thanked the couple for helping out.
"I'm glad we were able to help." The man said as he was happy they can help.
"Hi, my name is Ash. You already met my partner, Pikachu." Ash said, introducing himself to them.
"Hello!" Pikachu said with a slight wave.
"My name is Serena." Serena said as she introduced herself.
"I'm Alex. Nice to meet you." Alex said as he introduced himself and bowed happily.
"My name's Bonnie and this is Dedenne! That's my brother." Bonnie said as she introduced herself and pointed to Clemont.
"Hi! My name's Clemont." Clemont said as he happily introduced himself to the group.
"My name's Eddy, And this is my wife." Eddy said as he introduced himself to the group.
"I'm Lindsey. Nice to meet you. Eddy and I are underwater archeologists." Lindsey said as she told them their occupation.
"Wow! Underwater Archeologists?" Serena said as she never heard of them.
"That means you know about oceans and stuff." Alex explained to Serena about the job.
"So are you exploring these waters?" Clemont said as he wondered.
"Yes. We'll be diving out in that area today." Eddy said as he pointed to a location out in the water.
"Huh?" The group stuttered as they turned around to see three whirlpools.
"Apparently, there's a sunken ship called the Cussler, somewhere in the vicinty." Eddy said as he told them all about an old sunken ship like treasure.
"Ah.." Bonnie gasped as the group realized that name was familiar.
"That sounds familiar." Serena said as she wondered about it.
"Yeah, I heard about it on news once. Before I started my journey." Alex said as he recalled about a sinking ship once when he was in Sinnoh.
"Didn't the Cussler crash into an iceberg long ago?" Clemont said as he wondered about the Cussler.
"That's right. The Cussler was a luxury liner." Lindsey said as she knew what had happened, a flashback of long ago when the ship known as the Cussler was sailing straight ahead in the fog when an iceberg suddenly appeared from the fog and blasted it's horn but it was too late. It smashed right into it and sunk into the deep part of the ocean.
"Wait. I thought the Cussler sank way, way out in the ocean. So why would it be all the way over here near the Murallie Coast?" Clemont said as he thought about the Cussler sinking out in the ocean.
"Probably due to the currents." Eddy said, maybe some currents moved it.
"The currents?" Ash said, what currents?
"You mean that Pokemon and the waves moved it?" Alex said as he wondered about pokemon and the waters moving it.
"Yes. Several ocean currents are known to intersect right here on the Muraille Coast. It creates a very complex current system." Eddy said as he told the group about how the Cussler could have moved.
"We believe that a current carried the Cussler all the way here to the Muraille Coast." Lindsey said as she thinks the Cussler got moved due to waves.
"Ah.." Clemont gasped in awe, he was amazed.
"Our present research has one goal: To find the Cussler and identify the current that brought it here. It's promising to be a very busy day today!" Lindsey said as they had one goal only on their minds and that was going to be it.
"Ocean exploration's so cool! It sounds fun!" Bonnie said as she wanted to go.
"I wanna see the Cussler for myself! I heard about it, now I want to see it!" Alex said as he heard about sunken ships, he wanted to see it in person.
"Is there any chance that we could go along with you?" Ash asked, wanting to join them.
"Please, is there?" Pikachu said as he chimed in.
"We'll help you out with anything!" Serena said as they promised to help.
"With my invention expertise, I'm certain I can help." Clemont said as he adjusted his glasses, he wanted science to help them.
"And with my smartness, We feel like a dynamic duo. Whaddya say?" Alex said as he pushed up his glasses with a smirk.
"Hmm, Hm." Eddy and Lindsey muttered as they looked at each other and nodded with a smile.
"Alright. You'd be a big help! We're actually a bit short-handed." Eddy said as they accepted them to come.
"But you need to remember that it might be dangerous out there. So you'll have to listen to us. Is that a deal?" Lindsey said as she told the group a set of rules they needed to follow.
"Deal!" The group said as they promised, they soon got into the white van and left for the boat, Team Rocket was listening nearby from a rock they hid in.
"The Cussler, eh?" James said as he was intrigued.
"The luxury liner that sank while carrying priceless treasures on board." Jessie said as she knew well about the sunken ship.
"If we get our paws on that boat booty we'll never have to balance our checkbook again!" Meowth said as they knew they could get the gold and treasures for themselves and not be broke.
"Fufufu. Just imagine it, we'll be awash in wealth! Let's claim ours today!" Jessie chuckled as they imagined they were standing on top of gold and they'd be full of riches!
"Yay!" Meowth and James cheered excitingly as they had crowns on all of their heads in gold.
"Yahoo!" Wobbuffet said as they all were excited.
"..." The three whirlpools were spinning around in a vortex as a ship was coming toward them slowly. On board that small ship was the group who were observing the vortex whirlpools.
"Those complex currents are creating those giant whirlpools." Lindsey said as they showed them the whirlpools.
"Lindsey, it's almost time." Eddy said as he looked at a watch, this got alex to turn his head.
"What is almost time?" Alex said as Lindsey spoke.
"Alright. Everyone watch closely." Lindsey said as the group nodded.
"Gotcha!" Ash said as they wondered what to watch.
"Hmm." The group muttered as they looked from the window, they noticed the giant whirlpools that were big suddenly begin to shrink down and slow down into regular waters.
"Oh, look at that!" Clemont exclaimed, seeing the whirlpools were gone.
"The whirlpools!" Serena said as she noticed they vanished.
"They all stopped spinning and they shrunk into the water!" Alex said as they noticed they all went and gone.
"Yeah! They're gone!" Ash said as he realized they all vanished.
"How though?!" Pikachu said as he was startled and surprised.
"That's so strange! Where'd they go?" Alex said as he wondered where the whirlpools went.
"The intersecting currents that create those whirlpools change regularly. As usual, they're right on schedule. You shouldn't be seeing them for a while now." Eddy
"Huh... But how do they locate what we need? This makes no sense." Alex asked, knowing they needed to be located somehow.
"We'll have to see." Clemont said, knowing they'd have to see and wait.
"Alright, we're here. Let's get ready to dive!" Eddy said as they were ready to get going.
"..." Lindsey managed to get to a part of the boat where it was at the front as she opened the hatch to the submarine. Her and Ash peeked down at the open hatch.
"Wow! Are you gonna dive down in this submarine?" Ash said as they wondered if they would dive down under the submarine into the water.
"That's correct!" Lindsey said as Ash looked at Lindsey.
"Hey! Can we all go with you?" Ash asked, which got Lindsey surprised to hear.
"Huh?" Lindsey said as she was surprised to hear this.
"Come on!" Pikachu said as they wanted to all go together.
"That'd be awesome!" Serena said, knowing it'd be fun to go together.
"It'd be so much fun!" Bonnie said, chiming in.
"Yeah! Come on!" Dedenne said as Lindsey had to tell them the truth.
"Well... Our submarine's not very large and there's only room for two other people to get inside." Lindsey said, knowing the Submarine was small.
"Aww.." Bonnie moaned, knowing that was sad to hear.
"Well, there is five of us. But since we need to split to four, I'll opt out... So how do we split it?" Alex said as he counted their situation and chose to make it fair.
"No problem! I know how we can decide who gets to go, fair and square!" Clemont chuckled as he knew what to do.
"Oh dear..." Alex said as Clemont had made his plan.
"The future is now, thanks to science! Clemontic Gear, on! I call it my 'No-Hard-Feelings Fair-and-Square-Lottery Device." Clemont said as he told them the new machine he made which was a lottery kind of machine.
"Science is so amazing!" Ash said excitingly once again with Clemont's machine.
"Choose left or right, and my lottery device will take the guesswork out of who goes and decides for you!" Clemont explained as he knew how the machine works as it seemed like the choice to make.
"Cool! So i'll choose left!" Ash said as he put a paper with his face in, going left.
"I'll choose left, too!" Serena said as Alex watched.
"Huh, This sounds strange but very cute that they both go left. Wait.. What am I saying? They are in love, i'm in love. Ah well!" Alex thouoght to himself before realizing he was a part of it too.
"In that case, I'm going to pick right!" Clemont said as he decided to select right.
"Okay, then i'll go with my brother!" Bonnie said as she chose to go right.
"So they're set, Clemont. Can I say something?" Alex asked to the gym leader.
"Sure.. What is it?" Clemont said to Alex.
"If this machine explodes and damages the boat to a part where it sinks, I hope you think about your life in the future next time." Alex said, hoping he prays and warns him.
"I promise it won't explode. Lottery, go!" Clemont said as he promised, then he pushed a button.
"..." Clemont's machine went in two directions as the left arrow was dodging a ghost figure and back on track while the right arrow went straight ahead.
"Come on, don't lose!" Ash said as their arrows were behind.
"Go!" Serena cheered on.
"Go, Go!" Bonnie cried out as the arrows now changed tracks from a cross and they both went straight suddenly.
"Come on, Go!" Serena said as they were gonna get their result.
"Go!" Bonnie cheered as the arrows crossed over tracks one more time with Serena and Ash's arrow going to the circle while Clemont and Bonnie's arrow hit an X which meant Serena and Ash get to go while Bonnie and Clemont stay with Alex.
"Yeah, we won!" Ash cheered happily.
"Alright, we won!" Serena said as they get to go.
"Aww. And we lost.." Clemont groaned as they were left to stay behind.
"I was counting on you!" Bonnie said as she wanted to go.
"You let us down again!" Dedenne said as Alex knew that they would stay.
"Hey, At least you stick with me and Eddy." Alex said, knowing they would get some company.
"Well, Science determined our fate fair and square. So no hard feelings." Clemont said as he looked at the machine which did not explode thankfully, but it did have the outcome result.
"All right, Off we go!" Lindsey said as she was slowly entering the submarine.
"Good luck! You'll do great." Eddy said as Lindsey smiled, and closed the hatch,
"Be careful!" Clemont said as he warned them to be safe.
"Go slow and don't wreck." Alex said to make them careful and also safe.
"Ok." Lindsey said with a nod as she closed the hatch and the submarine began to descend underwater.
"..." Lindsey, Ash and Serena all took a seat for their submarine was released as the submarine began to dive under the water with a propeller.
"Good luck!" Dedenne said, hopeful they would be safe.
"Have fun guys!" Bonnie called out to keep them safe.
"Take care of yourself!" Clemont called to them, waving to them.
"Don't forget! I wanna see you guys coming back in one piece!" Alex
"..." The submarine was under the water, navigating around with the water-type Pokemon as Lindsey made a radio transmission.
"This is Lindsey. Eddy, do you copy?" Lindsey said as she tried to send a transmission to the boat.
"Affirmative, You're loud and clear. And the video is clear, too." Eddy said as he was able to hear Lindsey.
"Great. Continuing to our destination." Lindsey said as she continued to swim under the water with all the Pokemon as Ash and Serena watched from the windows.
"Ahhh... I can't believe all the Qwilfish." Serena said as she saw Qwilfish from her window point of view.
"There's a bunch of Octillery over here." Ash said as he noticed a lot of Octillery on his side.
"Look at all these Pokemon." Pikachu said excitingly. Being in awe of seeing them.
"Wow! Look at all the Water-Type Pokemon. This is so totally amazing!" Serena said as she noticed all the types of Pokemon that were water-types under the water.
"We're down really deep." Ash said as they realized they were way down low.
"We'll soon see the bottom of the ocean." Lindsey said as Serena looked out the window again.
"Huh? Is that the same Skrelp?" Serena said as she looked at her window and noticed a group of Skrelp, she also noticed one had a band-aid on it. It was the same Skrelp!
"I think you're right!" Ash said as he was amazed to see a small group.
"Look! The bandage!" Ash said as it was the same band-aig and skrelp alright!
"I'm so glad it found its friends." Serena said as she was glad it was alright.
"Yeah." Ash said, being amazed before so suddenly.
"Waaaaah!" Ash and Serena cried out as they were caught in a current that was sweeping them along but not out of control yet.
"Lindsey, What's going on!?" Eddy exclaimed, seeing that the video was being glitchy suddenly.
"We're being swept along by the current!" Lindsey said as she knew they were caught in it.
"Uh-oh, Hold on tight!" Eddy said as he warned them to hang on.
"Aaaaah!" Serena and Ash cried out in the submarine from the current.
"So it is there!" Eddy said, knowing it was probably there.
"Our theory is about to be current is providing to be correct!" Lindsey said as it seemed like the correct theory.
"Whah, Lindsey, look out! It's so close!" Serena said as she noticed a ship was coming to them which was part of it.
"Don't worry! I'll handle things!" Lindsey said as she had control of the steering wheel and began to turn the ship.
"..." Lindsey managed to dodge the broken ship which was coming toward them as she slowly broke out of the rapid current with ease.
"Whew. We're alright." Serena said as she sighed in relief.
"Too close." Pikachu sweatdropped with a sigh in relief.
"Good thing. Hey! Look at the group of Skrelp!" Ash said as he was okay before he noticed the same Skrelp group.
"They're following the sunken ship!" Serena said as they noticed what they were doing.
"Alright, hang on!" Lindsey said as she told them as a warning.
"Right!" Ash and Serena said as they help on and Lindsey got on the move.
"..." The crazy current had stopped as the ship was now moving on it's own while Lindsey dove under it to be safe as the ship landed on a small bit of land on one side pointing up.
"Oh, wow!" Ash and Serena said as they were gasping in awe and amazement, this was the Cussler they saw!
"I see it!" Lindsey said as they used the light and it showed an emblem of a Pokemon: Milotic! This was the Cussler!
"The Milotic emblem! There is no doubt that line is the Cussler." Eddy said as this was it.
"Right!" Lindsey said happily, this was it!
"They found it! Awesome!" Alex said as he was excited to see it live in person!
"Wow, what a discovery!" Bonnie said as she was joy to see this.
"We're now witnessing history in the making right before our own eyes!" Clemont said as Alex, Bonnie and Clemont saw the Cussler from the surface on the boat with Eddy!
"..." The Skrelp followed the ship as they were in pursuit of it, while out of the Cussler's hole came some Pokemon. The ship landed next to the cussler as ash noticed the Pokemon.
"Who's that Pokemon?" Ash said as he got his Pokedex inside the submarine and scanned the new Pokemon.
"Dragalge. The Mock Kelp Pokemon and the evolved form of Skrelp. A Poison and Dragon Type. Dragalge look very much like drifting kelp when they are swimming with the current." The Pokedex
"Dragalll!" Dragalge squirted onto something that was next to the ship, getting Lindsey's attention.
"Huh? What are those two up to? Are they fusing the ships together?" Lindsey said as she noticed the two dragalge were squirting two ships as many Luvdisc came out of the holes of the Cussler.
"It's a group of Luvdisc!" Serena said as she noticed the Pokemon.
"Look! Remoraid and Chinchou are coming out, too!" Ash said as he also saw Remoraid and Chinchou coming out of the Cussler's hole.
"Wow!" Pikachu exclaimed as the Luvdisc and Skrelp had a short talk before departing happily and playing.
"Amazing, isn't it? The current carries sunken ships from faraway oceans. Once they get here, the Dragalge fuse them together using acid to create one gigantic structure." Eddy said as he told them about how the broken ship was a home for all the Pokemon thanks to Dragalge helping out.
"Then all the Pokemon are able to use that structure as their home!" Clemont said as he knew what they were doing.
"I love Dragalge. It cares for many water-type Pokemon. But I do wonder why it would use the Cussler to help? Does it truly care?" Alex said as he seemed to like the Pokemon and how it's caring for others..
"That's right." Eddy said as he nodded.
"They live together like one happy family!" Bonnie said as it seemed like one home.
"Yeah." Dedenne said as his eyes dazzled.
"They all get along so well, don't they?" Serena said as she was happy.
"They really like hanging out!" Ash said as it felt amazed.
"Like freedom to them! It's great!" Pikachu said as he liked what was going on.
"Wow. It's like a Pokemon Paradise! Wonderful!" Lindsey said as she was dazzled on what was happening.
"Huh? What's that?" Lindsey said as it got Serena and Ash to look at an odd light which caused the Skrelp and Draglge to get their attention at the light.
"Light!" Lindsey exclaimed, seeing the orange colored light.
"What's it from?" Serena asked, she was confused.
"..." The Skrelp and Draglge went to the light to check it out as the group looked puzzled and needed to see.
"What is it, Lindsey?" Eddy asked from the surface.
"I need to investigate a strange light from the Cussler." Lindsey said as she knew something was wrong and it was not good.
"Right, be careful." Eddy said as a warning to let them be careful.
"Ah! It's Team Rocket's Submarine!" Ash exclaimed and alerting them what was going on. He remembered them.
"Team Rocket?" Eddy said, wondering who they were.
"Those guys!? Seriously? How..?" Alex said as he felt slightly annoyed to hear them be here.
"They're bad guys who steal other people's Pokemon!" Clemont said as he told them the truth.
"So what is Team Rocket doing there?" Eddy asked as they wondered, but then Team Rocket entered the ship.
"They just went inside the old ship!" Ash said as they needed to stop them.
"I think we should follow them!" Serena said as Alex radioed them.
"Don't let them destroy the Cussler!" Alex called out as Lindsey nodded.
"Right." Lindsey said as they went inside, Team Rocket found a surface in the ship where they were walking to.
"Gettin' in was easy peasy." Meowth said, knowing that was no problem.
"Wa-Wobbuffet!" Wobbuffet agreed to them.
"Now to locate the treasure." Jessie said as they needed to find it first.
"The treasure's in a safe, just up ahead. All valuables were stored in there." James said as he knew their location.
"Not for long!" Meowth said as they would get the treasure now.
"Wobba-wobba." Wobbuffet said as he walked slowly along.
"Skrelp.. Dragalge.." The Pokemon said as they broke in and tried to find Team Rocket. The Submarine submerged next to Team Rocket's magikarp machine as the hatch opened and out came Ash.
"Ugh! They're not here, Which way did they go?!" Ash said as he looked around in hopes of finding them.
"Not good." Pikachu said as he was nervous.
"Huh?" Ash said as he noticed the Skrelp and Draglage were there.
"Is something wrong?" Serena asked as she peeked out.
"Skrelp and Dragalge!" Ash said as he realized the pokemon were there too!
"Dragalge!" The Dragalge angrily snapped as they fired off toxic at the two to let them leave.
"Stop it! We're on your side! Promise!" Ash said as they tried to get them to stop.
"Knock it off!" Pikachu cried out as the Skrelp who had a band-aid recongnized them and stopped.
"Skrelp?! Skrelp. Skrelp!" Skrelp said as he told them to stop, which the Pokemon did.
"Hey thanks, Skrelp." Ash said as he thanked the Skrelp.
"Kelp, Kelp. Skrelp." Skrelp said as he told the situation and the Pokemon agreed, Ash and Serena followed the Skrelp to go.
"They're showing us which way to go!" Ash said as they followed the Skrelp toward the safe.
"Pick, Pick here. Pick, pick here." Meowth said as they were making a bomb machine to let them get the safe of Gold!
"I'm done first." Jessie said as she was done.
"Well, so are we." James said as Meowth got off his shoulders.
"Wow! On the other side of this door..." Meowth said as they knew.
"A treasure trove of treasures await!" Jessie said as she was eager for treasure.
"Wobba!" Wobbuffet said as a missed Toxic was a close call at James' foot.
"Ah, Hey!" James cried out as he was startled.
"What was that?!" Jessie asked as a Skrelp stared at them.
"Oh, it's a Skrelp." James said, it began to shout at them angrily.
"It's telling us to scram out of its digs or we're gonna pay!" Meowth said as they were being told.
"Hah! You're confused, Were going to get paid!" Jessie said as she chuckled.
"Stop right there! We caught you guys red-handed!" Ash said as he wanted to stop Team Rocket in their tracks.
"What is the meaning of you breaking into this ship?" Lindsey demanded as Team Rocket did their motto as ignorance.
"If you had half a brain between you, you'd know we're here for sunken treasure!" James said as he knew they would go for golden treasure.
"We're gonna balance our checkbook on the back of this beautiful bounty of this boat!" Meowth said as he knew they would be rich.
"Wobba!" Wobbuffet cried out in joy.
"Sunken treasure?" Ash sweatdropped, thats what they were going for?
"How do you think you're gonna get away with that?" Serena said as she wondered what to do.
"You're so dense. Watch and learn." Jessie said as she pushed the button to activate the bomb quickly.
"The latest in bank robberosity!" Meowth said as the robbery would be a success.
"In mere moments, this safe is going to blast off." Jessie said as the bomb would go boom.
"And that blast off will be a good thing!" James said as the machine was ready to go boom.
"Looks like your buddy twerp dopes aren't there to help ya. Tally ho!" Meowth said as they noticed Alex wasn't there, so they smirk. The smoke comes into the room as a first small explosion.
"Ah!" Ash and Serena cried out as the machine went off, Team Rocket went past them.
"Ack, Where are you going?!" Lindsey said as she yelled at them.
"Come back!" Ash shouted at them.
"No, It's dangerous!" Serena said, knowing how bad it was. Ash had an idea. Skrelp went after Team Rocket.
"Froakie, come out and follow Skrelp!" Ash said as he summoned froakie to help Skrelp.
"Right! Wait for me!" Froakie said as he followed Skrelp who was after Team Rocket.
"Stay safe, Froakie!" Pikachu said in hopes of Froakie's safety.
"Hope they'll be alright." Serena said as she hoped they would hurry.
"We've got to leave!" Lindsey said as she knew the Cussler was in trouble.
"Huh?" Ash and Serena said as they looked at Lindsey.
"If that explosion opens up a hole, water will flood the area!" Lindsey said as she needed them to get out of their.
"Hurry!" Ash said as they all began to hurry and leave.
"C'mon!" Pikachu said as they told them.
"..." The safe which team rocket blew up went right through the ship as it sailed in the deepest part of the oceans as the ship was shaking and falling apart as the safe was in Team Rocket's machine hands.
"One treasure, coming up!" Jessie said as they were ready to get the treasure.
"Yes, let's reel her in!" James said as they got the hands ready but Skrelp blocked their view to prevent them from getting them.
"Ack! Not you!" Jessie cried out as she freaked out at the Skrelp.
"Not you, who..?" James asked as the Skrelp used Sludge bomb to knock the machine to attack them to stop them.
"My turn!" Froakie said as he got in the view way.
"Yet another eyesore! You're blocking my view!" Jessie snapped at Froakie's getting in the way.
"Off, off, off, off!" Jessie cried as it tried to sway Froakie off the machine to get a view.
"The Cussler is filling with water. The entire structure is starting to become unbalanced. I'm afraid it's going to collapse." Lindsey said as she knew this was back and it will destroy the Cussler and fall over.
"No...!" Serena gasped in worry.
"We've got to do something to keep that from happening." Ash said as they needed to save the cussler
"Yeah!" Pikachu said as they needed to help out.
"Everyone! We need your help!" Ash called out to the Dragalge to save the cussler from falling.
"Dragallge!" Dragalge said as it approached the cussler as the Pokemon came out and they began to talk as soon as they needed to keep them safe.
"..." Froakie got grabbed by the Frubbles and was twirled right into Skrelp's face which Team Rocket got the machine.
"The safe is safe!" James said as they grabbed the safe of the Cussler.
"Surface, stat!" Jessie said as they began to hurry away.
"Aye, aye!" Meowth said as they went away.
"Oh no. Get back here!" Froakie said as he and Skrelp chased after them.
"Dragalge!" Dragalage groaned as he and all the other water type pokemon that lived there began to battle back and move the ship back to it's regular state slowly.
"Awesome!" Serena said as she was amazed to see the Pokemon do the work to save the Cussler.
"Yeah, hope they keep it up!" Ash said, knowing they could keep going.
"Just a little more." Lindsey said as they needed more, Ash noticed a plate and had an idea.
"Lindsey, use that plate to seal a hole." Ash said as Lindsey nodded.
"Got it!" Lindsey said as the machine grabbed the plate and reached up to the hole and patched it.
"Now Dragalge, use Acid!" Ash said to use for the Pokemon.
"Dragalge!" Dragalge spewed out the acid on the plate and sealed it without a problem.
"Great, that should prevent anymore water from flooding the ship. The structure should stop collapsing, too." Lindsey said as that would stop the ship from it's sinking.
"Alright!" Ash and Serena said together, they saved the Cussler!
"Alright!" Pikachu cheered on.
"Great job. That was a tough one." Eddy said through the radio. This got Lindsey's attention.
"Eddy!" Lindsey called out, seeing her husband again.
"But you're all safe and sound. And that's what matters to me the most. It's time, the whirlpools are going to appear again soon." Eddy said, knowing the whirlpools were coming.
"Right!" Lindsey said as they began to hurry to the suface, Team Rocket made it up to the surface with the safe in the hands.
"Success! Have treasure, will travel!" James said as they opened the hatch and had gold in store.
"Wobbuffet!" Wobbuffet said excitingly.
"Yeah, now we'll have balanced books and be off those tenterhooks!" Meowth said as Skrelp and Froakie surfaced behind the machine.
"Hmm, Huh? Uh.. Is something swirling over there?" Jessie chuckled before she noticed a swirling whirlpool near them which got the groups attention.
"Huh?" James and Meowth said as they began to worry.
"Over there, too!" Meowth cried out as there's another one near them.
"Uh-oh." James stuttered, this was bad for them.
"There's another one! Ah!" Jessie cried out as they were in the middle of three whirlpools as they were getting grabbed.
"..." Soon Team Rocket were unlucky to be caught up in one of the whirlpools as it toyed with them like it was absolutely nothing!
"We're spinning faster and faster!" Jessie cried out as they were spinning faster by the force of the whirlpools, yanking them around.
"I'm getting dizzer and dizzer!" Meowth cried out as the force of the whirlpools forced them to drop the safe of gold and toss them far far away.
"We dropped the safe!" Jessie cried out. They lost it all!
"Butterfingers!" James cried out, they lost the safe.
"The scent of regret lingers!" Meowth said as they felt shamed and regret.
"We're blasting off again!" Team Rocket cried out as they vanished up in the sky in their Magikarp machine.
"..." Eddy, Clemont, Bonnie and Alex reached out to the port to see Lindsey's Submarine submerge from the water as the hatch opened. Ash looked out to see where Froakie was.
"Uh, where are Skrelp and Froakie?" Ash said as he looked around for Froakie.
"Over there!" Alex pointed as he saw Froakie and Skrelp hang on to a piece of debris in a part of the whirlpool.
"Hang on, Skrelp!" Froakie cried to Skrelp, who was hanging on.
"I'm trying!" Skrelp stuttered as he was trying to hang on also.
"Oh, no!" Ash exclaimed, this was bad!
"Even Water-types can't withstand a whirlpool." Lindsey sweatdropped, this was not something water types can handle easily.
"Now what?" Serena asked, Alex had to do something.
"Ash! Let me help! Pidgey!" Alex called out as he tried to summon pidgey but Ash didn't think so.
"No! Froakie, You've got to jump!" Ash shouted before he told Froakie what to do.
"Ok! Skrelp! Hang on to me!" Froakie said as he told Skrelp as Skrelp nodded on what to do.
"All right!" Skrelp said as he got onto Froakie's back as Froakie's eyes opened.
"Here we go." Froakie said as he began to learn his training skills to jump from Frogadier as he had Skrelp on his back, he lept from Debris to debris with some slight jumps as it was turning into a jumping course. He leaped like an actual frog, as he made the last jump. Ash looked at him.
"Now, Froakie. Big jump!" Ash said as he called out to the water frog Pokemon.
"Hrraaahhh!" Froakie cried out as he jumped from the last debris, out of the whirlpool and right into Ash's arms. Causing Alex to gasp and remember Ash's training with Sanpei and their ability to jump well.
"Froakie!" Ash said as he held Froakie in his arms.
"I did it!" Froakie said happily, he did amazing!
"Great!" Clemont said as he was astounded to see they were all safe.
"They did it!" Bonnie said as they did it and got to safety.
"Yay!" Dedenne cheered happily.
"That was one jump!" Alex said as he realized that was cool.
"Hmm." Eddy nodded, knowing it was all safe now.
"Thank goodness!" Serena sighed in relief.
"Perfect!" Lindsey said as she was glad it was over.
"Froakie, you were awesome! Skrelp, you were awesome, too!" Ash said happily to his Pokemon as Froakie smiled.
"Not a problem." Froakie said as Skrelp never felt someone be happy to compliment and praise him.
"Thank you for praise!" Skrelp said as he was joyous.
Transition: Eddy's Boat, Sunset.
"Bye Skrelp! Bye Dragalge!" Ash said as he waved goodbye to the Pokemon.
"Take care of your home! And all those friends of yours!" Serena said, hopeful they keep themselves safe.
"Thank you, Goodbye." The Skrelp and Dragalge said as they dove underwater but one who had the band-aid on, still surfaced.
"Take good care, Skrelp." Ash said as he waved goodbye, seemingly on good terms after this morning.
"Hope we see you again!" Serena said as she chimed goodbye to.
"Thank you!" Skrelp said as it went back underwater happily.
"Happily, we were able to figure out which current brought the Cussler and successfully pinpoint it's location, too." Eddy said as they were able to find the Cussler's location and pinpoint it.
"What surprised me the most was seeing all those Pokemon living together." Lindsey said as she was amazed on the discovery they saw.
"That was some discovery." Eddy said, knowing it was one cool discovery.
"And Skrelp's okay, thanks to your jump! You're such a cool Pokemon!" Bonnie said as she turned to Froakie who was happy.
"Thanks, Bonnie." Froakie said as Bonnie was happy.
"Although we didn't see treasure in hopes of it. It was such a cool discovery to witness. The Cussler in person seemed like a home, and it should stay the way." Alex said as he was sad there was no treasure but it felt like a better place for home than gold, that was for certain.
"The height of the jump was just incredible! Wow! You should be proud of yourself!" Clemont said as he was amazed by Froakie's big jump across the whirlpool.
"That was some jump." Ash said as he was amazed with Froakie's ability to jump.
"Ash?" Pikachu said as he looked at him.
"Looks like the training paid off, huh?" Alex said as he looked at Ash, which Ash eyed him and got an idea.
"Hey, Maybe we could use that in our Gym battle against Grant. That's it! Of course we can!" Ash said as he realized the training for the jumps was worth it and got him an idea!
"Yeah, You're right!" Froakie said as he realized the jumping skills can work against Grant.
And so, Froakie's brilliance rescued Skrelp from the whirlpool and also gave Ash an idea for his battle at the Cyllage City Gym, The Cussler's mysterious treasure may be lost but not our heroes hearts. The next stop on our heroes journey continues!
