Pokemon the Series Season 17 Episode 28 Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike!
- August 2, 2014
Ash and his friends finally arrive in Anistar City, where they intend to take on their seventh Gym Badge in the Kalos region. While in town, they notice that a number of people are acting strangely, as though they're trying to hide something. After asking around, they discover that the local Pokémon Center has been taken over by a group of criminals who are stealing Pokémon from Trainers who come to heal their Pokémon there. Ash and his friends immediately jump into action and hatch a plan to stop the villains.
Their plan involves setting up a fake Pokémon Center, which they use to bait the criminals. Meanwhile, they enlist the help of a group of mischievous Pokémon known as Binacle, who agree to help them in exchange for some food. Ash disguises himself as a Binacle, hoping to draw in the criminals. However, things don't go according to plan, and they end up getting captured by the villains.
Their captors turn out to be two familiar faces: Jessie and James of Team Rocket! Ash and his friends are shocked to see the pair, who have undergone an extreme makeover in order to disguise themselves. They now work for a mysterious villain known only as "The Boss," who has promised to make them rich and powerful if they can help him collect enough powerful Pokémon for his nefarious purposes.
Ash and his friends are determined to stop Jessie and James and save the captured Pokémon, but they soon learn that things are not quite as they seem. They discover that The Boss is actually a con artist who has been using Jessie and James to do his dirty work, and that he has no intention of keeping his promises to them. In fact, he plans to steal all of the powerful Pokémon they've collected and leave them with nothing.
Ash and his friends team up with Jessie and James to take down The Boss and his henchmen once and for all. With the help of their Pokémon and some clever strategy, they manage to defeat the villains and free all of the captured Pokémon. In the end, Jessie and James decide to turn over a new leaf and become good guys, much to everyone's surprise. The episode ends with Ash and his friends saying goodbye to their new allies and gearing up for their next adventure.
