Ep 34. Having a Wailord of a Time
- May 22, 2004
In the episode "Having a Wailord of a Time," Ash and his friends arrive in Pacifidlog Town, an aquatic city that is built on water. The town is unique because its location moves with the tides. Ash and his friends meet a local resident named Marius, who is from a family of fishermen. Marius invites them to come fishing with him, and they agree.
As they set out on their fishing expedition, they encounter a Wailord that has gotten itself stuck in between two rocks. The group immediately jumps into action to help free the giant Pokemon. After successfully freeing Wailord, the group realizes that the Pokemon has a wound on its side.
Marius suggests they take Wailord to a nearby island where they can get it healed by a Pokemon expert named Lizabeth. Along the way, they encounter various obstacles like strong currents and a whirlpool, but they successfully make it to the island.
Upon arrival, they find that Lizabeth's clinic is currently closed, but they are greeted by an assistant named Kaitlan. Kaitlan explains that Lizabeth is taking care of a sick Lugia and cannot attend to Wailord at the moment. Ash and his friends agree to help Lizabeth by capturing a healthy Corsola to use as medicine for Lugia.
The group sets out to find a Corsola but soon realizes that they are not the only ones after the Pokemon. They are ambushed by Team Rocket, who intends to steal the Corsola for themselves. Through teamwork and strategy, Ash and his friends are able to successfully fight off Team Rocket and capture the Corsola.
With the Corsola in hand, they return to Lizabeth's clinic and use it to help heal Lugia. With Lugia on the road to recovery, Lizabeth has time to tend to Wailord's wound. She heals Wailord, and Marius is able to continue his fishing with his family.
In the end, Ash and his friends bid farewell to Marius and the residents of Pacifidlog Town and continue on their journey to the next destination.
