Ep 13. Once in a Mawile

Once in a Mawile is the 13th episode of season 8 of the anime series Pokemon. The episode follows Ash and his friends as they arrive at Mauville City, a bustling metropolis with a reputation for its technological advancements. While exploring the city, they stumble upon a fashion show featuring a Mawile, a Pokemon with a unique set of abilities.

The Mawile is unlike any other Pokemon they've seen before, with two sets of jaws that it can use to manipulate objects and battle opponents. Ash and his friends are intrigued by the Mawile's capabilities, and they decide to learn more about it. They soon discover that the Mawile belongs to a talented young fashion designer named Tish, who has been working tirelessly to create a variety of outfits for her beloved Pokemon.

As they watch Tish and Mawile rehearse for their upcoming fashion show, Ash and his friends realize that there is more to this Pokemon than meets the eye. Mawile seems to have a special bond with Tish, responding to her every command and even helping her out when she is in trouble. Ash and his friends learn that Mawile's unique jaws are not just for show—they actually serve a practical purpose in battles, allowing the Pokemon to clamp down on opponents with incredible force.

Despite their admiration for Mawile, Ash and his friends soon discover that not everyone in Mauville City is as fond of the Pokemon as they are. A group of rival fashion designers are jealous of Tish's success and begin to sabotage her work, using underhanded tactics to undermine her confidence. When Tish's designs are destroyed just days before the big fashion show, she is devastated and begins to lose hope.

Determined to help their new friend, Ash and his friends offer to help Tish create new outfits for Mawile. They spend hours brainstorming ideas and putting together elaborate costumes, all while dealing with the distractions and obstacles thrown their way by the jealous fashion designers.

As the day of the fashion show arrives, tensions are high and everyone is nervous. Tish and Mawile take to the stage, dressed in their new, show-stopping outfits. The judges are impressed by their creativity and skill, and it seems like Tish and Mawile might just win the competition.

However, just when it seems like everything is going well, disaster strikes. The jealous fashion designers, angry about their defeat, unleash their own Pokemon to attack Tish and Mawile on stage. Ash and his friends leap into action, using their own Pokemon to protect Tish and Mawile from harm.

In the end, their brave efforts pay off and Tish and Mawile emerge victorious. The audience cheers as the pair takes their well-deserved place at the top of the rankings. Ash and his friends congratulate Tish and Mawile, thrilled to have been a part of such an exciting adventure. As they say their goodbyes and begin to leave Mauville City, they know that they will never forget their time spent with the unforgettable Mawile.
