English Official Summary

Bianca has rejoined Ash and the gang as they leave Castelia City for the Nimbasa Gym. Along the way, they meet an Emolga, and Bianca is instantly smitten with the super-cute Pokémon! Vowing to catch Emolga at all costs, Bianca attempts to battle it with her Minccino. But Emolga gets away, and Bianca takes off in pursuit, along with Ash and Cilan. Meanwhile, Iris and Axew have taken off separately to track down Emolga—and end up tumbling down a steep hill into a Swoobat nest! With Emolga’s help, they manage to escape, but the angry Swoobat chase them into a cave. Still determined to catch Emolga, Bianca is searching the forest, disturbing a powerful Scolipede and an angry Galvantula in the process. Finally, Cilan sees the electric evidence of Emolga’s Discharge attack, and leads Ash and Bianca to the cave where the Swoobat cornered Iris and Axew! Ash and Pikachu manage to drive off the Swoobat, and our heroes are reunited! As Cilan prepares a celebratory feast, Emolga approaches the group again, apparently willing to be captured this time...but much to Bianca’s dismay, the adorable Pokémon seems to want Iris for its Trainer instead. And so the journey continues, with Emolga as Iris’s newest friend!

Plötzlich sehen sie sich einem äußerst niedlichen Emolga gegenüber, an dem Bell sofort einen Narren gefressen hat. In der Absicht, dieses Pokémon unter allen Umständen zu fangen, stürzt sie sich mit Picochillas Hilfe in den Kampf gegen es. Doch Emolga gelingt die Flucht, und so nehmen Bell, Ash und Benny seine Verfolgung auf. Inzwischen haben sich Lilia und Milza auf eigene Faust auf die Suche nach Emolga gemacht. Als sie es finden, scheint sich eine Freundschaft zwischen den dreien zu entwickeln. Plötzlich ist Lilia umzingelt von einem Schwarm verärgerter Fletiamo, die sehr bedrohlich wirken. Lilia, Milza und Emolga versuchen zu fliehen, werden jedoch von den Fletiamo verfolgt. Ash, Benny und Bell finden Lilia gerade noch rechtzeitig und retten sie mit der Hilfe von Pikachu. Obwohl Bell auf der Suche nach Emolga schon die Angriffe eines Cerapendra und eines Voltula aushalten musste, ist sie noch immer davon besessen, es zu fangen. Aber da stellt sich heraus, dass Emolga lieber bei Lilia bleiben möchte - sehr zur Bells Enttäuschung. Und so legen unsere Helden eine Pause ein, um einen neuen Festschmaus von Benny zu sich zu nehmen, während Lilia einen neuen Freund gewonnen hat - Elmolga.

Script Error

Originally before the Sendai earthquake delayed BW26, the episode that was supposed to air just before this episode, Bel was going to continue traveling with Satoshi and friends. Instead they part ways and Satoshi continues traveling to Raimon City without her. In this episode though they say they 'reunite' but they should have been traveling all along. Both the English dub and the edited Japanese version make this distinction to reduce editing the episode further.

Narrator: Having wrapped up their exciting and busy time in Castelia City, our heroes have reunited with Bianca and continue toward the Nimbasa gym.
Japanese Narrator: Having left Hiun City behind them, Satoshi and the others have reunited with Bel and continue their journey to Raimon City where the next Gym is.
ナレーター: ヒウンシティをあとにしたサトシたち一行は再会したベルとともに 次のジムがあるライモンシティへ向け旅を続けていた

02:29

Script Error

Iris in the Japanese original does not say her dessert is going to be a 'gourmet dessert' like Iris does in the English dub. Iris in the English dub also doesn't refer back to Cilan like Iris did to Dent in the Japanese original.

Iris: Well, if you thought that was good, then you're gonna love my gourmet dessert.
Iris Japanese: If Dent's cooking is the greatest, my dessert is superb!
(アイリス): デントの料理が最高なら私のデザートは極上よ。

03:19

Script Error

Axew is stationary looking at Emolga but Iris comes running down the hill telling it to wait. Where was it going?! Wait to do what? Iris just calls Kibago's name in the Japanese original.

Iris: Axew, wait!
Iris Japanese: Kibago!
(アイリス): キバゴ。

05:25

Script Error

Line is cut in the English dub. The English dub's closed captions actually had dialog for Iris in this scene though.

Iris:I can't move a muscle!
Iris Japanese: Paralyzing...!
(アイリス): しびれる~!

06:51

Script Error

In the Japanese original, Satoshi blames Bel for the problem but Ash in the English dub doesn't mention her.

Ash: With everything going on, Emolga didn't get a chance to eat yet.
Satoshi: Come to think of it, it couldn't eat anything earlier because of Bel.
(サトシ): そういや あいつさっきベルのせいで食べ損なったもんな。

07:59

Script Error

Dent's 'taste' (テイスト) dialog which includes the English words 'hot' (ホット) and 'exciting' (エキサイティング) is replaced with 'recipe' and 'spice' in the English dub. Most of Dent's line here was originally in English in the Japanese version but the English dub completely changed it.

Cilan: I detect a recipe with a fair amount of spice taking shape.
Dent: This taste has become quite hot and exciting.
(デント): かなりホットでエキサイティングなテイストになっているようだね。

08:30

Script Error

Iris in the English dub specifically states that Axew has a crush on Emolga but Iris in the Japanese original only says Kibago likes it. An equivalent of 'crush' in Japanese would have been (好き suki). 'Like' should have been the word they used in the English dub as it doesn't imply affection and "beat's-around-the-bush" if it was intended to be taken that way. It would have made more sense if they said Satoshi's Mijumaru had a crush on Emonga where that was very obvious.

Iris: Don't you get it ? Axew's got a bit of a crush on you.
Iris Japanese: It looks like my Kibago has grown to like you a lot.
(アイリス): 私のキバゴ あなたをすんごく気に入ったみたいよ。

09:18

Script Error

Bel says she's lost twice in a row now while Bianca just says 'not again.'

Bianca: Oh no, not again...
Bel: Two losses in a row...
(ベル): 2連敗。

14:39

Script Error

Once again Dent's 'taste' (テイスト) dialog was removed in the English dub.

Cilan: In my opinion, the rustling in that tree just doesn't sound like Emolga.
Dent: It seems to me like the way those leaves rustle is different from Emonga's taste.
(デント): あの葉っぱの揺れ方 エモンガのテイストとは違う気がするけど。

16:43

Script Error

Iris in the Japanese original says she forgot that Enonga's Attract doesn't work on females (メス) while Iris in the English dub says she forgot Emolga's Attract only works on males. Both mean the same but just state the different gender affects.

Iris: I forgot Emolga's Attract only works on males!
Iris Japanese: Oh no, I forgot that it wouldn't work on females...
(アイリス): あちゃ~メスには効果がないんだった。

18:46

Script Error

Dent's dialog is a lot more 'colorful' in the Japanese original as he mentions the move is 'rich' and 'sharp' while Cilan called it 'powerful'.

Cilan: It's much more powerful when used by a group!
Dent: It's a move which increases in richness and sharpness if used by a swarm!
(デント): 群れで使うと コクもキレもいちだんと高まる技だ!

20:14

Script Error

In the Japanese original, Satoshi says Emonga seems to like Iris and Kibago while Ash just says Emolga seems to like Iris in the English dub.

Ash: If you ask me, I think Emolga likes you!
Satoshi: Iris, could it have taken a liking to you and Kibago?
(サトシ): もしかして アイリスたちを気に入ったんじゃないのか?

This was a great episode. I really loved the whole Emonga story and the animation sold this episode big time. There were some truly classic scenes in this one that had be giggling quite a few times.

This episode really had a genuine flare. It obviously was centered around getting Emonga, with Iris being isolated with it to gain it's trust, but Emonga's personality, and how it actually bonded with Iris and her Kibago was really amusing. There's much more I could say about this episode, but I don't think I'd be able to fit in absolutely everything I liked about this one. Great episode, it really helped show just how amazing the Pokemon anime is.

Definitely one of the best episodes this season. This episode had so much win packed into it, I don't even know where to start :

1) gorgeous animation. Man, how can they manage to make such nice animation every week?
2) lots of funny moments, along with a lot of action scenes... it's really dynamic.
3) one of the main character gets a new Pokémon. I really like when that happens. Especially when the said Pokémon is that Emonga. And I just love how mischievous she can be... looks like it's going to be quite lively with her around.
4) love Bel's character too. Great voice actor (not some sort of 8-year old idol or something), too. You just to love how she overdo everything, how she mimic the attacks when she ordres her Pokémon to use one (especially that 'Tickle' one, it had me giggle a lot). So, I'm really looking forward to her next appearances in the following episodes.

That being said, it looks like the next episode is going to be as great as this one... especially since we'll get to see Mrs Smug, aka Starja. Her + Emonga in the same episode... sounds promising!

Only thing that sorta of "bothered" me... where's that big forest supposed to be? There's simply no forest North of Hiun City. Guess they're not going for a faithful representation of Unova in the anime.

I really like this Emonga and I'm glad Iris got it in this episode instead of Bel. It's curious and slightly 'evil' personality is quite a nice change.

I think it's interesting how there have already been 2 episodes with warnings about "cute" Pokémon. It would have been cool if Choroneko had been caught in the later episode as well, as that way Emonga and Choroneko would both put on cute acts.
I'm really excited to see more of the dynamic between Emonga and Tsutarja. It doesn't seem like coincidence that Tsutarja fought Kamitsure's Emonga. The character development has been really good for both, I think, although I think Tsutarja is the more preferable of the two. I'm glad that Iris instead of Belle was able to catch Emonga, as I don't think that Belle would have trained it very well.
