Ep 42. A Shroomish Skirmish

As Ash and his friends continue on their journey through the Hoenn region, they come across a group of Shroomish in the forest. The Shroomish seem to be in distress and are being attacked by a group of wild Swalot. Concerned for the safety of the Shroomish, Ash and his friends jump in to help.

The battle between the Swalot and Ash's team is intense, but they are eventually able to defeat the wild Pokemon. As a result, the Shroomish begin to warm up to Ash and his friends, and they offer to guide them through the forest.

As they venture deeper into the forest, the group comes across a group of trainers who are illegally cutting down trees. The Shroomish are upset and try to stop the trainers, but they are too powerful. Ash and his friends step in to help, and a battle ensues.

The battle is close, but Ash and his friends are ultimately able to defeat the illegal loggers. As a result, the Shroomish are grateful and decide to join Ash's team.

The episode ends with Ash and his friends continuing on their journey, now with a group of Shroomish by their side.
