Ep 11. Once In A Blue Moon

Once In A Blue Moon episode of Pokemon the Series season 3 takes place in the Johto region. In this episode, Ash, Misty, and Brock help a sickly Mareep get back to its flock on the night of a rare blue moon.

As the episode begins, our heroes take a break from their journey to rest near a large flock of Mareep. One of the Mareep, who is smaller and weaker than the rest, catches the attention of the group. They soon discover that the Mareep is sick, and it needs to get back to its flock before it's too late.

The group decides to help the Mareep, so Ash volunteers to carry it on his back. However, the journey back to the flock is not easy. The Mareep is often too weak to continue, and they are followed by a mysterious stranger who seems to want to capture the Mareep for themselves.

The tension grows as the night progresses and the blue moon rises. Mareep are known to act differently during a blue moon, becoming more lively and powerful. The group realizes they need to get the Mareep back to its flock before the blue moon fully rises, or else it could be lost forever.

As the stranger begins to catch up to them, the group comes up with a plan to protect the Mareep. Misty, who is famous for her water Pokemon, creates a water barrier to stall the stranger's pursuit. Meanwhile, Brock uses his knowledge of Pokemon to help the Mareep regain its energy by finding special herbs and berries.

Despite the obstacles, the group successfully navigates through the night and reaches the Mareep's flock just in time to witness the blue moon's full effect. The Mareep jumps down from Ash's back, and it immediately transforms into a powerful Flaaffy. The rest of the flock also evolves, and they start to playfully chase each other and perform acrobatic moves.

The group looks on in awe as they witness the incredible sight. They also notice that the mysterious stranger has disappeared, and they can only hope that they have given up on their pursuit.

As the episode ends, the group waves goodbye to the Mareep flock and continues on their journey. Ash, Misty, and Brock realize that even though they had just helped one Pokemon, they had made a significant impact on the entire flock.

The Once In A Blue Moon episode of Pokemon the Series season 3 is a heartwarming story about friendship and the power of the bond between people and Pokemon. The episode highlights the importance of helping those in need, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem.
