While traveling through a cave, a freak accident causes the Pokemon to get separated from their trainers. Both parties search for each other, but the Pokemon are hindered by their own squabbling and a colony of Nuzleaf they run afoul of.
Tropes
- Disproportionate Retribution: In retaliation for Corphish accidentally damaging the leaf of one of the Nuzleaf, the colony intends to burn the Pokemon at the stake. While James says that seems excessive, Jessie doesn't see anything wrong with it, citing that's what she'd probably do if someone damaged her hair.
- Dwindling Party: One by one the Nuzleaf abduct the Pokemon until only Pikachu and Mudkip are left.
- Only Sane Man: Pikachu and Mudkip both try to keep the group together and the fighting to a minimum.
- Too Dumb to Live: Corphish tries to eat a wild mushroom that Pikachu warns is poisonous. And then Corphish tries to eat it again!
- Worst Aid: When Corphish gets stuck in a hole in the ground, Treecko’s solution to free it is to use Pound, which sends it flying.
