However, having incomplete knowledge about pokémon, Jessie assumes hers is a silcoon as well. James and Meowth notice the difference, but also know Jessie’s temper. Corphish becomes ill from the rope and floaters it ate earlier. Ash rushes it to a PokéCenter while the Team Rocket Trio use new traps to catch the “twerps” and their pokémon. Of course, they get caught in their own trap too and now everyone is in danger of drowning when the tide comes in.

Trivia: Ash only scanned May’s silcoon, because that was the only one he cared about. Granted, strategically, he should have wanted to know more about Jessie’s cascoon as well.

Favorite Comeback
Max to May: Maybe you should be following Ash’s example, it couldn’t hurt.
May’s Reply: You’re right, but I can think of something that will.

Ash’s Travelling Companions

Ash arrives in Hoenn with an ailing Pikachu. Professor Birch rushes Pikachu and Ash to his lab to restore Pikachu to health. Soon after, May arrives to pick her starter pokémon so she can have an excuse to travel the world. Unfortunately, while Pikachu was delirious, he destroyed May’s bike. May brings up this and asks Ash if she can travel with him. Ash now has a fear of girls with bikes destroyed by Pikachu, and quickly agrees. He also winds up training a rookie trainer. Soon they are joined by May’s little brother, Max, who is given a PokéNav by Norman and becomes their official navigator. Max is thrilled as the only pokémon knowledge he has is what he has read in books, and Oak’s pokémon lectures watched on television.

Brock, having completed his family “errands” (see Pokémon Chronicles,A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!”), catches up with Ash, May, and Max just as they were discovering how desperately they needed organization and especially food. Now with a well-rounded team, the four of them set off to explore Hoenn together.
