Pokemon the Series Season 9 Episode 28 All That Glitters Is Not Golden!

Ash and his friends have finally arrived at the Battle Pike, and Ash is eager to take on his first challenge. The Battle Pike is run by Pike Queen Lucy, who is known for her incredible battling skills. Upon arriving, Ash is surprised to learn that he'll have to compete in a tournament in order to earn a battle against Lucy herself.

As the tournament begins, Ash faces off against several tough opponents. However, he manages to make it to the final round, where he'll have to battle a mysterious opponent who goes by the name of "The Spiritomb". Ash is determined to win, and he puts all of his training to the test as he battles The Spiritomb with everything he's got.

Meanwhile, Pikachu is wandering around the Battle Pike when he stumbles upon a strange room. Inside, he finds a treasure chest filled with golden objects. Pikachu can't resist the temptation of the shiny objects, and he starts playing with them. However, he soon realizes that he's made a mistake, as each of the objects is cursed.

When Pikachu tries to leave the room, he finds that he's trapped, and he can't escape. As he tries to figure out a way to break the curse and escape, he encounters a friendly Meowth who also happens to be trapped in the room. Together, they work to find a way to escape and break the curse that's been placed upon them.

As Ash battles The Spiritomb, he begins to realize that something strange is happening. The Spiritomb is able to predict all of Ash's moves before he even makes them, making it almost impossible for Ash to gain the upper hand. Just when it seems like all hope is lost, Ash remembers something that his friend Anabel taught him about battling: he needs to trust his instincts and stay true to himself.

With this advice in mind, Ash redoubles his efforts and manages to gain the upper hand on The Spiritomb. With Pikachu cheering him on from the sidelines (or rather, from his cursed prison), Ash wins the battle and earns the right to face Pikachu next. However, before he can take on Lucy, he needs to rescue Pikachu and break the curse that's been placed upon him.

Using his quick thinking and Pokemon battling skills, Ash manages to break the curse and free Pikachu from his prison. Together, they head off to face Lucy, with nothing but confidence in their abilities and trust in each other. Will they be able to defeat the Pike Queen and earn the honor of being Battle Pike champions? Only time will tell.
