In Pokemon the Series season 5 episode 32, titled "Hocus Pok?mon," Ash, Misty, and Brock arrive in a small town to find that a magician, known as the Great Hokus, is causing trouble with his Pok?mon magic show.

With Duplica's ability to transform into a fighting Pok?mon, they manage to infiltrate Team Rocket's base undetected and rescue Meowth.

Once Meowth is safe, Hokus thanks Ash and his friends for their help and prepares to face the gym leader. The gym leader, inspired by Hokus bravery, faces him in a battle and even manages to win. The episode ends with Ash and his friends saying their goodbyes to Duplica and Hokus and heading to the next town.
