Pokemon the Series Season 17 Episode 8 Grooming Furfrou!

Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie have set out on their journey to the next town, but when Pikachu accidentally steps on a Furfrou's freshly groomed fur, it angers the Furfrou's owner, a famous groomer named Sherman. To make amends, the gang offers Sherman to help him groom his Furfrou, but soon find out that the job is much more challenging than they thought. As they work to perfect the styles, they must also keep Furfrou safe from Team Rocket's attempts to steal it.

Sherman is a renowned Furfrou groomer who takes pride in his work, and he has his own salon where he grooms the Pokemon of his wealthy clients. He is also well-known for his Furfrou contests, where he showcases his grooming skills and judges the grooming abilities of other trainers.

When Pikachu accidentally gets mud on a Furfrou's pristine fur, it creates a rift between the trainer and owner. The owner is outraged that Pikachu has ruined her Furfrou's grooming, but Sherman sees an opportunity to teach the gang the art of Furfrou grooming and invites them to his salon.

Sherman explains the different styles of Furfrou and how each requires a different grooming technique. The gang is amazed to see the intricate detailing required for each style and is excited to learn. Sherman then reveals that he has a Furfrou that he has been trying to groom for a long time but has not been able to perfect its look. The gang offers to help Sherman with this Furfrou, which he gladly accepts.

As they begin grooming the Furfrou, the gang realizes that it is much harder than it looked. They must keep the Furfrou still while grooming it, as even a small movement would ruin the grooming. Additionally, each style requires a different technique, which is challenging to master.

As they continue grooming, Team Rocket appears and tries to steal the Furfrou. The gang, with the help of their Pokemon, battles Team Rocket and sends them blasting off. They then return to the salon to continue grooming the Furfrou.

When they finish grooming the Furfrou, they realize that it has a unique pattern that they have never seen before. They show it to Sherman, who is amazed and thrilled with their work. He declares that this is the best grooming he has ever seen and even gives the team a special prize for their efforts.

With the Furfrou now looking perfect, Sherman is excited to showcase it in the next Furfrou contest. He invites the gang to join him as his special guests, and they happily accept. At the contest, they see the various styles of Furfrou from different trainers and realize that there is so much more to learn about grooming.

As the episode comes to a close, the gang prepares to move on to the next town, but they leave with new skills and knowledge about Pokemon grooming. They also leave behind a happy Furfrou and a grateful Sherman, who expresses his thanks for their help.

In summary, this episode focuses on the art of Furfrou grooming and showcases the intricate detailing required for each style. It also highlights the challenges of grooming and the importance of teamwork. The episode ends on a positive note as the gang gains new skills and knowledge and leaves behind happy Pokemon and a grateful trainer.
