Synopsis
On Honey Island, the first stop in the Decolore Islands, Pikachu, Oshawott and Axew get lost with Meowth after Team Rocket’s rigged lottery leads everyone into a swarm of Beedrill. Disguised as tour guides, Team Rocket let Ash win 151 desserts and drive the group into a pitfall trap, but Kakuna dropping from the trees evolve into Beedrill and chase everyone off.
Separated from their Trainers, the three Pokémon accept Meowth’s offer to guide them back. He knocks down apples, builds a raft for a river crossing and takes a Remoraid’s Water Gun meant for Axew, and when a Victreebel bites and paralyses him, Pikachu and the others make him medicine.
Team Rocket, now disguised as police officers, try to drive the Pokémon away, but Pikachu’s cry brings Charizard, Dragonite and the Trainers. Meowth cannot bring himself to attack his new friends, and Ice Beam and Flamethrower blast Team Rocket off. At the Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy serves the island’s famous honey desserts while a Combee watches.
