Today finds the twerps ready to head out of Canalave to Chocovine Town. Ash has won his Sixth Sinnoh League Badge at last, and now it is Dawn's turn as she attempts to win another Contest Ribbon. But when they arrive at the ferry, they find that - like with everything else in Sinnoh - everything is running behind schedule! The ferry isn't running, and that's the fastest way to get to Chocovine. Dawn asks a passing businessman why the boats aren't running and he points out the blockade of Wailord blocking the harbour..... how the fuck did the twerps not notice them!?!

Ash's belly rumbles as he tries to figure out what to do next and they decide to go and get some food. It stands to reason, Gentle Dodgers, they were making forward progress so it was inevitable that they'd end up....



They settle in for lunch out in a nice picnic area, but as Brock prepares to give Pikachu and Piplup their food, a Luxio zips by and steals the food, then zaps a furious Piplup as it leaps at it. Pikachu chases it and tackles it, causing it to drop the food which is caught by a Whismur, and along with a Nidoran the three thieving Pokémon cheese it with the food, chased by a furious Piplup and pissed off Pikachu.

Meanwhile, Jesse is jiggling!

In a manner of speaking, anyway, as Team Rocket tries to earn an honest crust and a delighted Wobbuffet holds up danger signs for the public. But as they congratulate themselves on an honest day's sweat, Whismur and the others charge by and leap down into a manhole. Spotting the twerps chasing after, Meowth hits a button that turns the nearby heavy machinery into.... a robot!

He.... he had that prepared for absolutely no reason!

Team Rocket get into the control booth and take a swipe at Pikachu, Ash diving down and grabbing Pikachu. They roll into the open manhole before it can fall back into place after being knocked clear by the force of the robot's punch. The machine grabs the manhole around the edges to get at the twerpy goodness within.... and accidentally bends it till it is locked into place!

Piplup blasts the mech with Whirlpool and sends Team Rocket blasting off again, and Piplup bravely tries to haul the manhole cover away but fails completely because it's only a very little penguin. Dawn calls down to Ash that they can't get them out, so he says he'll find a way himself. He and Pikachu head on through the underground, MASSIVE sewer tunnels, calling out Buizel and having it swim through the filth and muck to find them an exit.

Well, to be fair, it may just be an underground cistern supplying clean water to the town, in which case the town's drinking water has just been contaminated with Buizel fur, farts, piss and maybe a little bit of Buizel-turd too if it ate recently.

Ash and Pikachu chase after Buizel but bump into Luxio and crew, the latter mistaking their meeting for being chased and attempting to throw down with Ash. Ash ain't having none of that though and sends Buizel in to fight, and of course that causes Nidorina to throw up smoke with an attack and allow them all to cheese it. Buizel leads Ash and Pikachu on after them though, and we discover the true reason for their thieving (and the Wailord in the harbour too!). It's a sick, stranded Wailmer!

Ash, Buizel and Pikachu all try to get it into the water but it is too big to move. Ash uses Dextina and learns that Wailmer becomes lethargic when dry, so has Buizel splash it with Water Gun and.... it starts bouncing!

It bounces back into the water and seems to be mostly recuperated... but still sad. Ash figures out (five minutes after everyone else) that it got separated from the Wailord. Luxio and crew start leading Wailmer to the exit and Ash, Pikachu and Buizel follow.

Meanwhile, even the massively strong Happiny can't get the manhole torn free, so Dawn calls out Mamoswine to do the trick.... and it turns its back on her, scratches its ass and ignores her. Knowing what must be done, she bribes Mamoswine with the promise of poffins if it gets the manhole open, and it eagerly stomps and stomps till the manhole bursts free. Unfortunately, it then charges Dawn and knocks her flying into the air before opening its gaping maw to swallow the falling poffins while Happiny catches Dawn and Dawn catches Piplup.



Ash and the others continue on through the underwater cistern and discover Zubat, Mothim, Teddiursa, Venonat, Rattata and Nidoran, all living underground lead by Luxio. As Ash figures out that there is some kind of underground community (not fat chicks pretending to be vampires) down here, Dawn and Brock follow an absolutely certain Piplup which believes it has caught the scent (and which Dawn knows probably is not the case). Meanwhile, Ash has found the inflow where Wailmer apparently came down, and by setting up a rope across the top, they have Wailmer grip the rope with its teeth and they all haul on the rope as Buizel pushes from behind.... and they succeed in pushing it over the top!

And then they get to the next waterfall!

Fuck!

He's determined to get Wailmer back though, so they rush off to get all of the other Pokémon. Shortly after at the top of the waterfall, Piplup leads Dawn and Brock out, fail to spot Ash, and Dawn tells Piplup it took them the wrong way and they head back off again.

Awwwww.

Ash meanwhile has come up with a bizarre plan to freeze the waterfall with ice, put Wailmer on a sled and then BLAST THE FUCK OUT OF IT WITH IRON TAIL which will somehow cause the sled to travel up the ramp!

Ash, that's.... you're insane.

But through the power of teamwork they put together Ash's plan till the ramp is built and smoothed. Wailmer is on the sled and pushed at top sped onto the ramp (the skin of its fat face rippling in the wind!) where it is hit with Iron Tail and sent flying up the ramp..... which promptly shatters! In a hilarious sequence of events, Wailmer makes an amazing :0 face and flaps its fins futilely trying to fly, and Venonat has Luxio smack it with Iron Tail which flings it so fast and high into the air that it.... it.... it disappears into Wailmer's asshole!



This is the greatest moment in Pokémon history.

Wailmer is launched with extra speed and lands safely at the top... and only slightly anally violated! Ash and the other Pokémon head to the top and spot the exit.... and then Piplup proudly leads Dawn and Brock up to them and demands an apology for Dawn.

But as they try to celebrate, Luxio warns them this isn't over yet.... a Swampert blocks the way! It blasts gunk at them because they're in its territory, and Ash tries to speak reason with the giant swampcat monster. When this doesn't work, he goes for the old standby of beating seven shades of shit out of it. He wants to fight it with Pikachu, till Brock reminds the idiot that Swampert is part Ground-Type, so he sends in Grotle instead to.... get punched in the head!

Grotle Razor-Leafs Swampert and knocks it the fuck out, and Ash runs by with an apology and leads Wailmer outside to rejoin the Wailord. But as it swims away..... it starts to glow! It's evolving its fat ass into a Wailor.... Jesus fuck those things are big, too big.... it can't fit under the drawbridge!

Oy vey!

The twerps rush into the (completely unguarded!) control room which won't work without a key, so Pikachu starts blasting the fuck out of the innards of the machine. As it begins to power up, Ash spots Swampert swimming out into the harbour to attack the unsuspecting Wailord, and so in order to defend the FOUR MILLION TONNE WAILORD, Ash leaps into the water to try and block Swampert. Meanwhile, Luxio and Pachirisu add sparks to Pikachu's power but it still isn't enough, so Luxio calls on all the other Pokémon who were outside to run up and.... touch Pachirisu.... which shouldn't fucking do anything but pass the electricity through them. But somehow it ramps up the electric charge and opens the drawbridge!

Wailord pushes through the water, creating a backsurge of water that swamps the surprised Swampert (could it have hurt that fucking monstrosity anyway?) and it swims out to rejoin the others. Together, they all head back out to sea, freeing up the harbour for the ferry to once more travel to Chocovine City, which means Dawn can have another shot at a ribbon..... but first, Ash wants that lunch they never had!

So as the sun sets, the twerps head off for a meal and the Wailord head out to sea to do whatever it is that great big huge fucking sacks of blubber do out in the ocean..... it's either have blubbery sex or leap out of the water in slow-motion and freeze frame at the top of the jump. Either one is good.
