- March 16, 2017
Ash and his friends continue their journey through the Alola region in episode 18 of Pokemon the Series season 20. The episode, titled A Seasoned Search!, sees the group travelling to a famous restaurant that serves a specialty dish which can only be made once a year.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Ash and his friends are met by a friendly chef who welcomes them in and tells them about the dish they are famous for - a stew made using a rare and elusive Pokemon called Bouffalant. However, the chef reveals that they have been unable to find any Bouffalant in the area for the past few years, and their restaurant is in danger of losing its reputation and business.
Determined to help out, Ash and his friends offer to help the chef search for Bouffalant. The group sets out into the nearby forest, searching high and low for any traces of the elusive Pokemon. Along the way, they encounter a group of Bouffalant who are fiercely protective of their territory and attack the group.
With the help of his Pokemon, Ash manages to calm down the Bouffalant and convince them to let them search for the dish's ingredients. However, in the midst of their search, they stumble upon Team Rocket, who have been hatching their own plan to capture the Bouffalant. A battle ensues, with Ash and his friends teaming up to defeat the nefarious duo and protect the Bouffalant.
After the battle, the group manages to find the needed ingredients for the restaurant's famous stew, and the chef is overjoyed. He invites them all back to the restaurant to try the dish for themselves, and it turns out to be as delicious as promised. Ash and his friends enjoy the meal and appreciate the unique experience they had in helping the chef find his ingredients.
The episode ends with a heartwarming moment between Ash and Pikachu, as the two reflect on their journey so far and the special moments they have shared in the Alola region. As they continue on their adventure, they know that there will be many more challenges and new friends to meet along the way.
