Episode Title:
The Beartic Mountain Feud!.
Episode Description:
Ash and friends continue their journey when they come across a sick Cubchoo, realizing how badly damaged the forest is. They come across a swarm of angry Beartic that starts to attack. Meowth decides to play negotiator and the Beartic use Icy Wind on him. When they want to attack again, a Mienfoo appears and knocks them out. A Forest Ranger named Cliff introduces himself, and is quite amazed at Meowth for his capability of speech. The Cubchoo explains to Meowth exactly what happened before they found it, and Cliff tells them that there are two tribes of Beartic living on the mountain. Cliff asks if Meowth belongs to anybody. When everyone says no, he throws a Poké Balls at him and nearly captures him, much to Meowth's chagrin. They set out to find the Beartic that the Cubchoo belongs to until they are attacked by the Beartic, and Meowth is hit. They run away but fall off of a cliff and get separated from their Pokémon. At the subway station, the Subway Masters are investigating what is going on in the Subway. The Pokémon set out to find food for Axew and Cubchoo, while the gang is searching for them. Meanwhile, Meowth is arguing with the Beartic about the stolen food and he returns them to the Beartic, before getting hit by another Icy Wind. Suddenly, the two Beartic groups meet and they begin to fight each other, firing Sheer Cold attacks at each other, but their fighting causes four boulders to roll down the mountain at them. Three of the four are destroyed by the gang's Pokémon, while the Beartic all use Sheer Cold to freeze the remaining one in place. The two Beartic groups now get along with each other. After departing from Cliff, the gang continues their journey to Nimbasa City. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is preparing their final stage of their mission in Nimbasa City.
