Ep 8. Lost at the League!

Ash and his friends are on their way to the Lumiose City Gym, where Ash is set to battle Gym Leader Clemont. Along the way, they stumble upon a forest that leads to the Lumiose City League, where the greatest Pokémon trainers battle for supremacy. Excited to see the championship match, the group sets out to explore the forest, but soon gets lost.

As they try to find their way out of the forest, Ash and his friends stumble upon an old mansion. The mansion is filled with traps and darkness that make it impossible to navigate. Suddenly, they hear strange noises and see a ghostly figure emerge from the shadows. Frightened, they begin to panic and try to find a way out of the mansion.

With no luck, the group begins to explore the mansion and discover that it's haunted by a mischievous Pokémon named Phantump. Phantump has been playing tricks on the mansion's occupants and making it impossible for them to leave. Ash and his friends are determined to help the trapped trainers and Pokémon, but can they outsmart Phantump and escape the mansion?

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is also lost in the forest and stumbles upon the same mansion. They too are intrigued by the mysterious noises and go inside to investigate. Once inside, they encounter Phantump and are frightened by its ghostly appearance. They decide to capture Phantump and use its powers to take over the Lumiose City League.

As Ash and his friends continue to search for a way out of the mansion, they come across the trapped trainers and Pokémon. Together, they devise a plan to outsmart Phantump and escape the mansion. They realize that Phantump's power only works if there's no light, so they light up the mansion and blind Phantump. With Phantump disoriented, Ash and his friends are able to find the exit and escape the mansion.

But just as they think they're finally going to the Lumiose City Gym, they encounter Team Rocket, who has captured Phantump. Ash and his friends are determined to get Phantump back and stop Team Rocket from using its power for evil. They engage in a battle and are successful in defeating Team Rocket and freeing Phantump. They then continue on their journey to the Lumiose City Gym, excited for Ash's battle with Clemont.

As they arrive at the gym, Ash realizes he's left his gym badge behind in the haunted mansion. Determined to get it back, he heads back to the mansion with Pikachu. Once there, they search for the badge and encounter Phantump, who leads them to the badge. Ash thanks Phantump for its help and finally heads back to the gym, ready for his battle with Clemont.

In the end, Ash and Pikachu are able to defeat Clemont and earn the gym badge. They continue on their journey to become the greatest Pokémon trainers and make more friends along the way.
