The twerps come across a Litleo that has been ejected from his pride. They realize this is a natural right of passage for Litleo. But they have to defend him from the interference of Team Rocket to make sure he can fend for himself.
This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
- Homage: To The Lion King
- Oh, Crap!: Team Rocket damn near piss themselves when Pyroar shows up behind them.
- Papa Wolf: Pyroar has absolutely no tolerance for Team Rocket harassing Litleo. On the other hand, he seems to genuinely appreciate Ash and his friends helping out.
- This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself: Pyroar does watch from a distance as his Litleo son tries to fend for himself.
