Pokémon Season 17 Episode 41

Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!

Another day at the Pokémon Summer Camp rolls in, and the participants are all prepared to start the next activity. For the day, Professor Sycamore announces that the participants will participate in a competition of Pokémon Orienteering, where the participants will all race to find all of the stamps around the campgrounds, and whoever is first will be the winner. Team Froakie and Team Squirtle are both exceptionally determined to win the competition, as they prepare.

Soon, all of the teams are at the starting line of the race. All of the teams are provided maps to navigate through the checkpoints. Sycamore declares the race begun, and the teams all run off to compete for all of the stamps. Professor Sycamore monitors all of the checkpoints of the race and keeps in contact with his assistants who keep watch over all of the checkpoints. Team Froakie and Team Squirtle both reach checkpoint one first, and Ash and Tierno both climb up the cliff to see the stamp point. Froakie and Squirtle aid them in this endeavor. However, Ash reaches the checkpoint first and receives the stamp.

Meanwhile, the next checkpoint is atop a bridge. This time, Serena and Shauna are up to reach the checkpoint, but Serena expresses immense acrophobia as she crawls across the bridge in extreme fear, and Shauna reaches the checkpoint as Serena is too scared to cross the bridge quickly. Shauna then runs off while Serena is still on the bridge and grabbing on in her continued fear. She eventually tags her map, still stressed, and walks off. The next checkpoint is within a maze, and Clemont and Trevor then race through the maze. Clemont eventually reaches the checkpoint and wins first.

However, as the teams then reunite, they run through the forest, only to find themselves in a fog that clouds everything. Ash, being unable to see anything in the thick fog, runs into a tree. Team Froakie is lost, and Bonnie winds up separated from the group along with Pikachu. She is lost and calls out to Ash, Serena, and Clemont. As they try to search for them, Bonnie and Pikachu then notice that flowers are suddenly blooming. A bizarre Pokémon then runs past them, much to their amazement. Bonnie runs after it.

Soon, Team Froakie runs into Team Squirtle. The two join efforts to try and find Bonnie and Pikachu. Ash sends out his Fletchinder to find them. Meanwhile, Bonnie and Pikachu accidentally enrage a swarm of Beedrill, but Pikachu wards them off. Soon, they run into an Amoonguss, who uses Spore on them, and Bonnie quickly falls asleep, falling off of a cliff in the process, only to be saved by a Drifblim.

Team Froakie and Team Squirtle run into and anger the same Amoonguss from before, who tries to attack them, but Froakie and Pikachu ward it off. Soon, they see Bonnie on the other side of a large valley separating them from her. Clemont notices a group of Drifblim at the bottom of the valley and suggests that they awaken them to form a large float for them to get across. They use their Pokémon to awaken the Drifblim, and Ash jumps across all of them and retrieves Bonnie, then jumps back up the Drifblim. However, he falls short of reaching the other side, and he and Bonnie almost fall down the canyon. All of his friends struggle to grab onto him and pull him up, and eventually succeed. After a while, Bonnie wakes up from her sleep. Just as she then excitedly tells them that she saw an incredible Pokémon who had amazing power, said Pokémon appears on the other side of the cliff. Although there is a thick fog surrounding it, it is clear that there is an X Pokémon who faces them, with its horns shimmering brightly. Before Ash can scan it with his Pokédex or Trevor can take a picture of it, however, it quickly runs off.

Team Froakie and Team Squirtle ultimately lose, but they congratulate the winning teams.
