After earning the Dynamo Badge from Wattson, Ash and co. continue their journey. May insists to go to Fallarbor Town while Ash suggests they go to Lavaridge Town. Max suggests they go to both and Brock decides the order. During the trip, they notice some watermelons float down by the river and have some lunch. Ash then comes up with an idea: Teach Treecko to use Bullet Seed like the Shiftry that attacked them a while back, and as practice, they try it by spitting watermelon seeds. Can Treecko learn to master this move, and who do the watermelons belong too?
Tropes
- Mythology Gag: Natasha has an Electrode hidden among her watermelon crop to fool intruders, lampshading Electrode's usual trick as a Chest Monster.
- Not So Above It All: Ash and Pikachu annoy Treecko so much with their seed spitting, that Treecko actually gets mad and starts spitting back at them, mastering Bullet Seed in the process!
- Schmuck Bait: Think about it: Since Electrode is much larger than an average watermelon, thieves are sure to go after that first!
- Your Size May Vary: The cartoonists couldn't decide what size the Electrode guard should really be.
