An Egg Scramble! (Japanese: ジョウトフェスタ!チコリータとワニノコ登場!!, Hepburn: Johto Festival! Chikorita and Totodile Appear!!) is the 39th episode of Pokémon: DP Galactic Battles.
Synopsis[]
On their way to Lilypad Town and Dawn's next Pokémon Contest, Ash and the gang discover a nearby village where a festival is about to occur. Lyra is one of the festival's spokespersons-and a Trainer, to boot. She introduces herself after our heroes find her lost Marill, then she escorts them to the festival. There, they meet a budding young Pokémon Breeder named Khoury, and his father, who runs the festival.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket has showed up and stolen food from the festival! When they see Dawn battle and beat Lyra in a special event where Dawn gets a Pokémon Egg as a prize, they steal it, too! But of course Ash will never let them get away with that! Everyone splits up to go looking for Jessie, James, Meowth, and Dawn's Egg. But they won't be easy to find. An angry Ursaring upsets Team Rocket's getaway plan, and Jessie winds up separated from James and Meowth during the chase.
Under the skillful leadership of Lyra, our heroes discover Team Rocket's whereabouts and retrieve the Egg, later to find out it contains a cute-but rather aggressive-baby Cyndaquil. Dawn couldn't be happier, though! Khoury and Lyra ask Khoury's father if they can go with Ash and company to Lilypad Town...and he says yes! So, for now, our heroes have added two new friends, and a baby Cyndaquil, as well![1]
Episode plot[]
Hunger strikes our heroes as their journey continues. As they prepare for lunch though, a Marill's cries catch their ears. They see the pokemon caught, wedged between two buildings. Fearing for it, they rush over to help until it manages to free itself with Watergun. A girl who claims to be it's trainer rushes over to help her Pokemon. The girl's name is Lyra, and she is a trainer from Jhoto. During their conversation, she shows them her new Pokedex and mentions the Jhoto Festival that's about to happen. At the center of the village, the festival begins. They view a recording that shows all the wonderful things that you can do in Jhoto, as well as a special message from Clair, one of Jhoto's Gym Leaders. They meet with Lyra's friend, Khoury, who is a pokemon breeder. He makes special pokemon food, but Brock notes that it's too sweet, so he adds in Chesto Berries which make the pokemon enjoy it more. Brock happily tells Khoury how to make it. Lyra and Ash speak of their Gym Badges, and Dawn reveals that she is a Pokemon Coordinator, the very first that Lyra has ever met in person. The time eventually comes for the Johto Pokemon Exhibition. Lyra calls up Dawn and asks her to battle, promising a prize if she wins. The two battle, Lyra's Chikorita vs. Dawn's Piplup. Despite the type advantage of Grass over Water, Piplup uses Peck, a Flying-Type move which Grass-Types are weak to. Dawn claims victory through this, and she is then presented her prize. A pokemon egg. However, Team Rocket, who had been overly enjoying themselves, snatches up the egg and attempts to escape in their air balloon to the forest but are shot down. At the crash site, Team Rocket's food attracts trouble, causing an Ursaring to attack them when it's cub gets too close to them. As Team Rocket flees the Ursaring, the Egg comes close to hatching. As Jessie is tormented by the bear, James and Meowth are surrounded by Ash and friends. In the confusion Totodile sneaks up and reclaims the egg. The heroes' pokemon launch a single attack and send Team Rocket blasting off. Dawn then notes that her egg is close to hatching. When Team Rocket land, they find themselves surrounded by Ursaring. Back at the village, Dawn's egg hatches into a Cyndaquil. Khoury and Lyra then decide to follow Ash and friends for a while to see more of Sinnoh.
