Pokemon the Series Season 8 Episode 44 Hooked On Onix

Ash and the gang encounter a fishing village where the residents work hard to catch Onix, a serpent-like Pokémon that inhabits the local river. Ash and his friends are fascinated by the idea of catching Pokemon with fishing rods, and they decide to try their luck at catching an Onix. However, they quickly discover that it's not an easy task.

The group meets a fisherman named Mateo, who offers to teach them the proper techniques. Mateo explains that Onix can be lured with a special bait and then caught with a fishing rod, but it takes strength and patience to reel in such a massive Pokémon.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket decides to try their luck at catching an Onix as well, but they have a different approach. They plan to steal the Onix that the villagers have already caught and sell them on the black market. They set their plan in motion, but their greediness ends up putting Ash and his friends in danger.

As Ash and his friends continue to learn the ins and outs of Onix fishing, they develop a new appreciation for the hard work that the villagers do every day. They also bond with Mateo's daughter, a young girl named Marissa who dreams of becoming a great fisherman like her father.

In the end, Ash and his friends are able to successfully catch an Onix of their own, and they marvel at the sheer size and strength of the creature. However, they soon realize that they need to release the Onix back into the river, as it's important to maintain the delicate ecological balance of the area.

As they prepare to leave the village, Ash and his friends reflect on the lessons they learned during their time there. They realize that catching Pokemon is not just about battling and winning, but about respecting the creatures and the environment that they live in. They also recognize the value of hard work and perseverance, and vow to bring these values with them on their future adventures.
