Go To

Learning about a powerful Buizel living in a nearby stream, our heroes plus Zoey decide to take a look. Soon it becomes a three way competition between Ash, Dawn and Zoey to see who can catch it.

  • Battle Trophy: Buizel collects the fishing pole of every trainer he defeats. After he is captured, Zory promises to give them back to their owners.
  • Blood Knight: It's shown that Buizel has already defeated several trainers before the protagonists even got to his river. It then quickly challenges Dawn, Ash and Zoey one after another, beating all three of them.
  • Confusion Fu: Unable to overpower Buizel, Dawn has Piplup battle like in a Contest, something her adversary has no experience with. This allows her to catch it.
  • Continuity Nod: Ash still has the special lure Misty gave to him.
  • Determinator: Piplup keeps trying Buizel's special training until he beat it. Then he fights Buizel until the end, collapsing only after Dawn catches it.
  • Foreshadowing: Ash is mildly disappointed he didn’t catch Buizel.
  • Friendly Enemies: Despite having just battled them, Buizel is okay with letting Ash and company hang out at his den and try its obstacle course.
