Pokémon Season 21 Episode 24

Love at First Twirl!

One day during class, Poipole appears at the school and lures Pikachu away while Ash and the others are busy. When they finally notice that Pikachu is missing, an agitated Ash and his Pokémon start searching for Pikachu. Rowlet spots Pikachu and Poipole playing, but, thinking that Pikachu is being attacked, charges in. Frightened, Poipole disables Rowlet with a Poison attack. When Pikachu gets angry at its friend being hurt, Poipole is sorry and carries Rowlet to get help, with Pikachu leading. Team Rocket spots the trio and, realizing that Poipole may be an Ultra Beast, chases after them. Just as Team Rocket is about to capture them, Ash, Lycanroc and Torracat appear and the battle is on, only to be interrupted by Bewear once again carrying Team Rocket off. Back at the Ultra Guardians base, Poipole is identified as an Ultra-Beast and Ash agrees to look after it. After playfully dodging every attempt to capture it, Poipole finally enters the Beast Ball on its own and happily settles in with Ash and his Pokémon ... especially Pikachu!
