Ep 25. A Mudkip Mission!

Ash, May, Max, and Brock reach a small island on their journey through the Hoenn region. They are searching for a Mudkip tribe that is said to inhabit the island. Ash is eager to catch a Mudkip, a Water-type Pokémon that he has yet to add to his collection.

As they explore the island, they encounter a group of Mudkip who are in desperate need of help. Their village is located near a waterfall, and the water flow has been disrupted by a group of Gyarados. Without access to enough water, the Mudkip will not be able to survive.

Ash and his friends agree to help the Mudkip, and they set out to find a way to restore the water flow. They come across a group of scientists who are studying the waterfall and realize that the Gyarados are causing the water flow disruption by blocking the entrance to a nearby cave. The cave houses a dam that regulates the water flow to the waterfall, and the Gyarados are preventing the dam from working properly.

The scientists explain that they have been unable to drive away the Gyarados, as they are too powerful for their Pokémon to defeat. Ash and his friends decide to take on the challenge and set out to confront the Gyarados.

After a fierce battle, they manage to drive the Gyarados away from the cave entrance. With the entrance clear, Max suggests that they use their Pokémon to generate an electric pulse that might jolt the dam into working again. They successfully generate the pulse, and the water flow is restored to the waterfall.

The Mudkip are overjoyed at the return of the water flow, and Ash finally catches a Mudkip to add to his collection. As they prepare to leave the island, Ash and his friends thank the scientists for their help and say goodbye to the Mudkip. They continue on their journey through the Hoenn region, encountering new challenges and adventures along the way.
