Pokemon XY Episode 4 Recap

A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!


And we're back with Serena trying to decide between Fennekin, Chespin and Froakie. She receives her Pokedex from Professor Sycamore and uses it to learn a little but about each but she already knows which Pokemon she is going to choose. We actually already knew that as well but that's okay! Serena chooses her cutie pie fire fox Fennekin. I'm still totally on the Froakie bandwagon but you gotta admit that fox is damn cute.

We now join our trio who are still on their journey to Santalune City so Ash can win his first Kalos gym badge. It looks like our cheeky little Dedenne from last episode continues to follow them. What are you up to Dedenne? Oh, you're stealing everyone's Pokemon food. That's very hypocritical of you since you got upset when Fletchling took your berry last time. Bad Dedenne. Our trio chase after cheeky little Dedenne which results in Bonnie playing a game of whack-a-Dedenne in attempt to catch it. Everyone then decides to join in Bonnie's game of whack-a-Dedenne with Pikachu successfully snagging our little electric friend. A rolling fight ensues and they both end up separated from the group.

And here comes Team Rocket with a nifty little gadget that is not a Pokedex but a compter-esc device that gives them information about Pokemon.

On the way back to finding the group, Dedenne's tummy grumbles loudly and Pikachu thundershocks a berry down from a tree. Dedenne seems shocked (yes I just did that, again) by this show of affection from our little buddy Pikachu and it's eyes shine bright at the site of the berry. Oh how cute it is when it's eyes glow like that! Of course their blossoming Pokeship (Pokemon friendship, it's a new word) is interrupted by Team Rocket. Pikachu and Dedenne make a run for it with Team Rocket close on their heals and beginning to tire. Team Rocket will never be Olympic athletes either. Pikachu and Dedenne are ahead in this race so far, climbing up a rocky ledge when Dedenne is knocked down by Jessie's weird electronic net contraption. Quick thinking by Pikachu by biting (yes, biting) Dedenne's tail saves it from a nasty fall into Team Rockets evil clutches. And Dedenne once again is shocked by Pikachu's affectionate and caring nature and does the little shiny eyes!! I want a Dedenne. Now.

James proceeds to use his newly (and easily) captured Inkay to tackle Dedenne and psybeam them into the river below. James also seems to have an electronic cube that turns into a rubber rocket raft. Of course you do James. Of course you do. But this rubber rocket raft doesn't help them when they float past Pikachu, hit a rock and blast off. Can't say I didn't see that coming.

Pikachu and Dedenne make it safely ashore and are spotted above by our new pal Fletchling, reuniting our beloved Pikachu with his beloved 10 yea old. But wait, Dedenne is injured.

Who's that Pokemon?!
It's Dedenne!









Ash and Bonnie want to take Dedenne to a Pokemon Centre, but Clemont thinks they should treat Dedenne there, with electricity. Clemont them goes all "the future is now thanks to science, Clemontic gear on" and presents his electricity generator, while Bonnie speaks for everyone when she says "Another boring name". Touche Bonnie. Clemont's electricity generator actually works and Dedenne is restored to full health! But, being the amazing inventor Clemont is, didn't create an off button. The generator proceeds to explode and leave them all with funky afros once again.

Dedenne is now in love with Clemont and Bonnie. Clemont is about to catch Dedenne when Team Rocket reappear. Wait, how can they just reappear if they've blasted off already? That's not how this is mean to work. Dedenne proceeds to battle Team Rocket with Clemont. Pikachu doesn't want to be left of this party so he joins in with a thunderbolt and Team Rocket blast off for the second time this episode.

According to Pikachu (because, you know, electric Poke communication), Dedenne really wants to travel with Clemont and Bonnie. Clemont throws a Pokeball, 3 shakes and BAM! Dedenne is caught! Bonnie proceeds to clean Dedenne after getting all dirty in it's battle against Team Rocket. Dedenne falls asleep and Bonnie places it in her little yellow bag which will now become Dedenne's new home. I really do like Bonnie's character. She's bringing so much humour to this season!

So our trio continue to head towards Santalune city while Serena and Fennekin fight off a Vespiquen and race to the next Pokemon Centre. I wonder if Serena will catch up to Ash next episode. I guess we will find out, as the journey continues...
