Ep 24. True Blue Swablu

While Ash and his friends continue on their journey towards the Hoenn League, they come across a small town where they find themselves in the middle of a Swablu festival. The town's citizens and visitors all gather to celebrate Swablu and its unique characteristics. Ash and his friends quickly become enamored with the festival and decide to participate in the activities.

During the festivities, a young girl named Natasha appears, searching for her Swablu, who has gone missing. The group offers to help find the missing Pokemon, and they set off on a search throughout the town. As they look for the Swablu, they encounter other Pokemon and trainers who are also participating in the festival.

As they search, they come across a group of Pokemon poachers who are trying to capture as many Swablu as they can. Ash and his friends try to stop the poachers but fail, and they watch helplessly as the poachers capture Natasha's Swablu.

Determined to get the Swablu back, Ash and his friends contact Officer Jenny, who tells them that the poachers are known for stealing rare Pokemon and selling them on the black market. She informs them that the poachers are headed towards a large marketplace located in a nearby city.

With Officer Jenny's help, Ash and his friends track down the poachers, who are trying to sell the captured Swablu. A fierce battle ensues, and through their teamwork and quick thinking, Ash and his friends are able to free the captured Pokemon and put the poachers behind bars.

With the Swablu safely returned to Natasha, the festival continues with more enthusiasm and excitement than ever before. Ash and his friends part ways with the town and continue on their journey towards the Hoenn League, ready for whatever challenges and adventures await them next.
