The last one down the slide was Kiawe's ''Turtonator'', who inevitably squashes the entire gang flat at the end. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Directly afterward, Rowlet can be seen asleep on top of Exeggutor when it leans down into view.]]
* Look at the school march. Turtonator didn't bother to catch up and was instead riding on top of Officer Jenny's pickup truck. Samson tries to join the march, but Komala appears out of nowhere and knocks him out.
* In the ending, poor Rotom is subject to various type attacks as Ash demonstrates the Z-Move dances.
[[AC:[=SM001=]]]
* The Ketchum family winning their vacation in a lottery. It's a flashback sequence completely played in fastforward. Even funnier when Delia reminded her son of his mission to deliver Professor Oak's egg to Samson Oak, and the flashback replays in reverse, ''at the same speed''.
* Ash meets a Bewear. It just wants a hug. HilarityEnsues when Ash realizes [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength why this would be bad.]] Bonus points for Bewear's [[HellIsThatNoise absurdly high pitched voice]] that only gets higher as it gets more excited.
** For context, Ash realizes that there might be trouble when Bewear gets a bit ''too'' excited and accidentally ''backhands a tree in half''. [[http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/193/532/de0.gif His and Pikachu's]] OhCrap expressions are nothing short of hilarious.
* All the AmusingInjuries to Ash. Especially when the Litten whose tail he steps on immediately retaliates with an Ember attack. Even in Alola, he's not safe from the AshFace; it's pretty much got his name in the title for crying out loud!
* By itself, Samson Oak's HurricaneOfPuns isn't that funny. What makes it funny is Ash, Pikachu, and Mallow's reactions to them. Ash in particular is thinking "YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe", Pikachu seems to have had a HeroicBSOD from them, and Mallow's just embarrassed.

* Meowth tries to take off Mimikyu's shroud, and gets hexed so badly he ends up having a NearDeathExperience.
* Mimikyu knows the move Play Rough, which is literally a BigBallOfViolence. And Pikachu is on the receiving end ''twice''.
* Just when Pikachu and Mimikyu are about to battle, a Bewear comes out of nowhere and takes Jessie and James away. Meowth stops Mimikyu's battle to go rescue them. Ash and his classmates were left confused.

* Ash plays with Rockruff before heading to school. Rotom updates Rockruff's 'Dex entry about how the mutt enjoys being petted below the chin. And Kukui points out that while Rotom was busy WikiWalking, Ash has already left him behind.
* Once at school, Ash opens his bag and out falls Rowlet, rolling on the floor, still asleep, until it hits a pillar. It ''really'' loves the inside of Ash's backpack; Ash didn't even know it'd been sleeping there the whole time, and it was ''zipped shut''.
* Team Rocket LeaningOnTheFourthWall, namely, even ''they'' were wondering what is up with the premise of Ash going to school.
* Lana has twin younger sisters. When they see Pikachu, they grab him and drag him into their house, and start playing with his face like it's made of clay. And you know what happens when Pikachu is faced with an AndCallHimGeorge situation. Even Lana's Ride Lapras outside was stunned.
** They weren't even aware of Ash's presence at first. When they do notice him, they thought Ash was Lana's boyfriend, leading to her [[HighPressureEmotion flustered reaction]].
* Popplio decides to leap into Lillie's lap, causing full-blown ColorFailure until Lana takes Popplio back.
* When the class goes fishing, Lillie is in full-body underwater gear complete with bubble helmet. She looks more prepped for space travel than a day on the water.
* Ash and Mallow do a FrameBreak against the [=RotomDex=] when it criticizes their fishing skills, squeezing Rotom out of the screen from both sides.
* Sophocles claims he could catch a Wailord with his high-tech fishing rod, yet he hasn't even thrown out the line. Later, Lana fantasizes about catching a Kyogre.
* A random Slowpoke wanders over to hear Team Rocket while they were scheming, and it [[AsideGlance looks at the audience]] as if it was questioning their sanity.
** The next day it dips its tail in the water, and a Sharpedo clamps on to it. At the end of the episode, Sharpedo has yet to let it go.
* All the classmates have lures based on their favorite Pokémon: Ash has Pikachu, Lana has Popplio, Sophocles has Togedemaru, Mallow has Bounsweet, Kiawe has Charizard, and Professor Kukui has Rockruff. Lilie, who doesn't have her own Pokémon yet, has a Clefairy lure.
* Kiawe didn't use an aquatic Ride Pokémon of his own, and instead settled on being Sophocles' "passenger".
* The Meowth Balloon returns, and takes a reflected Shadow Ball and Leafage. Surely they're finally going to blast off, right? Nope. Team Rocket falls to the water, and are caught by Bewear, [[WalkOnWater running across the water]] and carrying them off once more.
** And Rotom adds that to Bewear's 'Dex entry with a dumbfounded voice.
[[AC:[=SM006=]]]
* [[OverlyLongGag Yet more]] AmusingInjuries to Ash: He jumps off a ledge to the first floor of Professor Kukui's house, and lands face-first against his fish tank. Then slips on soap in the laundry room. Not to mention getting shocked by Pikachu yet again. And that's just the first five minutes.
** Upon meeting with Sophocles, his Togedemaru rolls into a ball and slams right into Ash's face, knocking him over. Then when Ash and Sophocles have ice cream at the Mall, he eats his too quick and gets brain freeze. And Sophocles is too busy talking to notice.
** When the Mall locks down, Sophocles panics and starts to run around in circles, before crashing into Ash and crushing him under his weight. Poor Rowlet is also crushed, managing to wiggle out with a blue face. Later, Sophocles tries to get Ash to an open route to get back to Pikachu, [=RotomDex=], and Togedemaru. Ash ends up slamming into several doors in his haste.
* [[MenCantKeepHouse Never leave Ash in charge of the house.]] Even the [[LemonyNarrator narrator]] believes [[LampshadeHanging no good can come of this]].
* Just to [[LampshadeHanging emphasize]] Kukui's LimitedWardrobe, Ash pours the contents of his dirty hamper in the washing machine [[OverlyLongGag one labcoat at a time]] until he decides to heck with it and dump it all.
* Rowlet posing for photos for [=RotomDex=].
* [=RotomDex=] actually trying to get Ash to cook, since it watched a cooking show with Kukui. Unfortunately, Rotom forgets some small details like "amounts" and turns him into a LethalChef. Then Ash [[VomitIndiscretionShot pukes sparkles]] all over Pikachu, who zaps the entire house with Thunderbolt in retaliation.
** To clarify: Ash takes vegetables, salt, and pepper (copious amounts of the latter two), and manages to cook up some sort of purple gunk, which nearly [=KOs=] Pikachu with the smell alone. Muk would be proud.
* Togedemaru [[CuddleBug really likes Pikachu]]. Then, at the end of the episode, Sophocles matter-of-factly states that [[ShipTease Togedemaru is a girl]]...
* Meowth [[CutLexLuthorACheck is now a pastry chef]], with Jessie and James selling his wares. And his Malasada Donuts are so good, Jessie doesn't even care about stealing all the Pokémon in the Mall anymore.
* Brandishing his screwdriver, Sophocles once again wants to take a "closer look" at [=RotomDex=]. The latter goes into HeroicBSOD...literally!
* When Team Rocket finally does get to examining the security system, Mimikyu pops out of its Poké Ball unawares and startles Meowth. [[DisasterDominoes He jumps into James and knocks him into a security system panel]], locking down the Mall and [[AloneWithThePsycho locking them in the room with Mimikyu]].
* Jessie eventually gets fed up with being locked in a room and starts going RapidFireFisticuffs on the door when James calls her over. Cue her ''epic'' JawDrop when it turns out that there was an open door all along.
* Bewear again shows its MamaBear traits by hopping in, grabbing Team Rocket, and hopping across rooftops to get away. Especially funny is that the scene is dramatically set with Bewear in front of the setting sun and roaring in its adorable voice before grabbing them.
[[AC:[=SM007=]]]
* More AmusingInjuries to Ash: when Litten steals his sandwich, Ash grabs its tail, and it responds with Fury Swipes. Pikachu electrocutes Ash while trying to retaliate on Litten with Thunderbolt.
* Team Rocket leisurely saying a variation on their motto while eating fruit. Then Litten steals their last piece of fruit, and burns Meowth and Team Rocket with Ember.
* Litten ends up in a ConeOfShame after its fight with the Alolan Persian. When escaping from Ash and Pikachu, Litten actually manages to get a headstart, only for the chase to be cut short when the cone catches on a fence grill.
* Trying to open Kukui's door to escape awakens Ash, Pikachu and [=RotomDex=]...mostly. Ash opens the door for Litten, and ''then'' they properly wake up all with OhCrap in their faces.
* In a simultaneous CrowningMomentOfAwesome, Litten finally giving the {{Jerkass}} Persian what's coming to it by blasting it with Ember, sending Persian running away [[RumpRoast with its tail on fire]].

[[FunnyBackgroundEvent Directly afterward, Rowlet can be seen asleep on top of Exeggutor when it leans down into view.]]
* Look at the school march. Turtonator didn't bother to catch up and was instead riding on top of Officer Jenny's pickup truck. Samson tries to join the march, but Komala appears out of nowhere and knocks him out.
* In the ending, poor Rotom is subject to various type attacks as Ash demonstrates the Z-Move dances.
[[AC:[=SM001=]]]
* The Ketchum family winning their vacation in a lottery. It's a flashback sequence completely played in fastforward. Even funnier when Delia reminded her son of his mission to deliver Professor Oak's egg to Samson Oak, and the flashback replays in reverse, ''at the same speed''.
* Ash meets a Bewear. It just wants a hug. HilarityEnsues when Ash realizes [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength why this would be bad.]] Bonus points for Bewear's [[HellIsThatNoise absurdly high pitched voice]] that only gets higher as it gets more excited.
** For context, Ash realizes that there might be trouble when Bewear gets a bit ''too'' excited and accidentally ''backhands a tree in half''. [[http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/193/532/de0.gif His and Pikachu's]] OhCrap expressions are nothing short of hilarious.
* All the AmusingInjuries to Ash. Especially when the Litten whose tail he steps on immediately retaliates with an Ember attack. Even in Alola, he's not safe from the AshFace; it's pretty much got his name in the title for crying out loud!
* By itself, Samson Oak's HurricaneOfPuns isn't that funny. What makes it funny is Ash, Pikachu, and Mallow's reactions to them. Ash in particular is thinking "YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe", Pikachu seems to have had a HeroicBSOD from them, and Mallow's just embarrassed.
[[AC:[=SM002=]]]
* This episode continues the AmusingInjuries by having Ash touch Alolan Exeggutor's tail, to which it responds with a MegatonPunch. ''With the tail''.
* Ash is having lunch with the rest of the Pokémon School, when a sound startles them. He turns around, and suddenly he's face-to-face with Tapu Koko. A brief {{beat}} before he startles. Then the Guardian steals his hat.
* Lillie's [[WildTake over-the-top reaction]] to Mallow's Bounsweet [[http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/181/628/b92.gif unexpectedly jumping up into Lillie's face]]. Bonus points for her holding her freaked-out expression for a moment afterward.
[[AC:[=SM003=]]]
* AmusingInjuries for Ash: Rotomdex decides to pull on Pikachu's tail, resulting in Pikachu zapping Rotomdex, Ash, and Kukui.
* When the other kids at the Pokémon School meet the [=RotomDex=], Sophocles goes up to it talking about wanting to examine its programming. But he's brandishing a screwdriver at it with a SlasherSmile. [=RotomDex=] wants ''no part'' of his plans.
* Most of the time, whatever Mimikyu is saying is so creepy, Meowth [[YouDoNotWantToKnow literally refuses to translate it]].
* Meowth tries to take off Mimikyu's shroud, and gets hexed so badly he ends up having a NearDeathExperience.
* Mimikyu knows the move Play Rough, which is literally a BigBallOfViolence. And Pikachu is on the receiving end ''twice''.
* Just when Pikachu and Mimikyu are about to battle, a Bewear comes out of nowhere and takes Jessie and James away. Meowth stops Mimikyu's battle to go rescue them. Ash and his classmates were left confused.
-->'''Jessie''': Wait, hey, hey, hey. Wha-What? What are you doing? Excuse me. Please let us go? Um...
[[AC:[=SM004=]]]
* Most of the hilarity can be summed up with one Pokémon: Rowlet the idiot owl.
* AmusingInjuries for Ash once again: Rotomdex pulls on Pikachu's tail yet again, zapping both Rotomdex and poor Ash.
* Jessie stealing James's Luxury Ball to catch Mimikyu.
* When Bewear finally leaves its den, Meowth and Wobbuffet both have [[BalloonBelly balloon bellies]] from being fed by it.
* Bewear extracts Team Rocket from a battle once again, to the further bewilderment of the twerps. It seems to be the alternative to blasting off.
-->'''Team Rocket:''' What is this feeling?![[labelnote:*]]In the Japanese, as opposed to their normal words when blasting off, "This feels bad".[[/labelnote]]
[[AC:[=SM005=]]]
* AmusingInjuries continue: Ash is electrocuted by Pikachu for the third episode in a row, slapped in the face by a Magikarp that Pikachu caught with his tail, nailed in the crotch by a Milotic while leaping over the water, and splashed by Popplio's bubbles (and caught in one then dropped from the air) multiple times.
* Ash plays with Rockruff before heading to school. Rotom updates Rockruff's 'Dex entry about how the mutt enjoys being petted below the chin. And Kukui points out that while Rotom was busy WikiWalking, Ash has already left him behind.
* Once at school, Ash opens his bag and out falls Rowlet, rolling on the floor, still asleep, until it hits a pillar. It ''really'' loves the inside of Ash's backpack; Ash didn't even know it'd been sleeping there the whole time, and it was ''zipped shut''.
* Team Rocket LeaningOnTheFourthWall, namely, even ''they'' were wondering what is up with the premise of Ash going to school.
* Lana has twin younger sisters. When they see Pikachu, they grab him and drag him into their house, and start playing with his face like it's made of clay. And you know what happens when Pikachu is faced with an AndCallHimGeorge situation. Even Lana's Ride Lapras outside was stunned.
** They weren't even aware of Ash's presence at first. When they do notice him, they thought Ash was Lana's boyfriend, leading to her [[HighPressureEmotion flustered reaction]].
* Popplio decides to leap into Lillie's lap, causing full-blown ColorFailure until Lana takes Popplio back.
* When the class goes fishing, Lillie is in full-body underwater gear complete with bubble helmet. She looks more prepped for space travel than a day on the water.
* Ash and Mallow do a FrameBreak against the [=RotomDex=] when it criticizes their fishing skills, squeezing Rotom out of the screen from both sides.
* Sophocles claims he could catch a Wailord with his high-tech fishing rod, yet he hasn't even thrown out the line. Later, Lana fantasizes about catching a Kyogre.
* A random Slowpoke wanders over to hear Team Rocket while they were scheming, and it [[AsideGlance looks at the audience]] as if it was questioning their sanity.
** The next day it dips its tail in the water, and a Sharpedo clamps on to it. At the end of the episode, Sharpedo has yet to let it go.
* All the classmates have lures based on their favorite Pokémon: Ash has Pikachu, Lana has Popplio, Sophocles has Togedemaru, Mallow has Bounsweet, Kiawe has Charizard, and Professor Kukui has Rockruff. Lilie, who doesn't have her own Pokémon yet, has a Clefairy lure.
* Kiawe didn't use an aquatic Ride Pokémon of his own, and instead settled on being Sophocles' "passenger".
* The Meowth Balloon returns, and takes a reflected Shadow Ball and Leafage. Surely they're finally going to blast off, right? Nope. Team Rocket falls to the water, and are caught by Bewear, [[WalkOnWater running across the water]] and carrying them off once more.
** And Rotom adds that to Bewear's 'Dex entry with a dumbfounded voice.
[[AC:[=SM006=]]]
* [[OverlyLongGag Yet more]] AmusingInjuries to Ash: He jumps off a ledge to the first floor of Professor Kukui's house, and lands face-first against his fish tank. Then slips on soap in the laundry room. Not to mention getting shocked by Pikachu yet again. And that's just the first five minutes.
** Upon meeting with Sophocles, his Togedemaru rolls into a ball and slams right into Ash's face, knocking him over. Then when Ash and Sophocles have ice cream at the Mall, he eats his too quick and gets brain freeze. And Sophocles is too busy talking to notice.
** When the Mall locks down, Sophocles panics and starts to run around in circles, before crashing into Ash and crushing him under his weight. Poor Rowlet is also crushed, managing to wiggle out with a blue face. Later, Sophocles tries to get Ash to an open route to get back to Pikachu, [=RotomDex=], and Togedemaru. Ash ends up slamming into several doors in his haste.
* [[MenCantKeepHouse Never leave Ash in charge of the house.]] Even the [[LemonyNarrator narrator]] believes [[LampshadeHanging no good can come of this]].
* Just to [[LampshadeHanging emphasize]] Kukui's LimitedWardrobe, Ash pours the contents of his dirty hamper in the washing machine [[OverlyLongGag one labcoat at a time]] until he decides to heck with it and dump it all.
* Rowlet posing for photos for [=RotomDex=].
* [=RotomDex=] actually trying to get Ash to cook, since it watched a cooking show with Kukui. Unfortunately, Rotom forgets some small details like "amounts" and turns him into a LethalChef. Then Ash [[VomitIndiscretionShot pukes sparkles]] all over Pikachu, who zaps the entire house with Thunderbolt in retaliation.
** To clarify: Ash takes vegetables, salt, and pepper (copious amounts of the latter two), and manages to cook up some sort of purple gunk, which nearly [=KOs=] Pikachu with the smell alone. Muk would be proud.
* Togedemaru [[CuddleBug really likes Pikachu]]. Then, at the end of the episode, Sophocles matter-of-factly states that [[ShipTease Togedemaru is a girl]]...
* Meowth [[CutLexLuthorACheck is now a pastry chef]], with Jessie and James selling his wares. And his Malasada Donuts are so good, Jessie doesn't even care about stealing all the Pokémon in the Mall anymore.
* Brandishing his screwdriver, Sophocles once again wants to take a "closer look" at [=RotomDex=]. The latter goes into HeroicBSOD...literally!
* When Team Rocket finally does get to examining the security system, Mimikyu pops out of its Poké Ball unawares and startles Meowth. [[DisasterDominoes He jumps into James and knocks him into a security system panel]], locking down the Mall and [[AloneWithThePsycho locking them in the room with Mimikyu]].
* Jessie eventually gets fed up with being locked in a room and starts going RapidFireFisticuffs on the door when James calls her over. Cue her ''epic'' JawDrop when it turns out that there was an open door all along.
* Bewear again shows its MamaBear traits by hopping in, grabbing Team Rocket, and hopping across rooftops to get away. Especially funny is that the scene is dramatically set with Bewear in front of the setting sun and roaring in its adorable voice before grabbing them.
[[AC:[=SM007=]]]
* More AmusingInjuries to Ash: when Litten steals his sandwich, Ash grabs its tail, and it responds with Fury Swipes. Pikachu electrocutes Ash while trying to retaliate on Litten with Thunderbolt.
* Team Rocket leisurely saying a variation on their motto while eating fruit. Then Litten steals their last piece of fruit, and burns Meowth and Team Rocket with Ember.
* Litten ends up in a ConeOfShame after its fight with the Alolan Persian. When escaping from Ash and Pikachu, Litten actually manages to get a headstart, only for the chase to be cut short when the cone catches on a fence grill.
* Trying to open Kukui's door to escape awakens Ash, Pikachu and [=RotomDex=]...mostly. Ash opens the door for Litten, and ''then'' they properly wake up all with OhCrap in their faces.
* In a simultaneous CrowningMomentOfAwesome, Litten finally giving the {{Jerkass}} Persian what's coming to it by blasting it with Ember, sending Persian running away [[RumpRoast with its tail on fire]].
