DP115: Stealing the Conversation!

is the 11th episode of Pokémon: DP Galactic Battles.
==Synopsis==
As our heroes are getting ready to head for Snowpoint City, Team Rocket makes a sudden grab for Ash's Pikachu. Our heroes fight back, and Team Rocket flees empty-handed while Pikachu ends up in the hands of "Wild" Officer Jenny and her Chatot partner. She was transferred to Sinnoh from Kanto, and she's on the trail of Team Rocket. In fact, she wants Ash and his friends to stand as decoys until Team Rocket returns. But when the chief of police catches Jenny luring the kids into another one of her crazy investigations, she gets a stern lecture.
With her plan foiled, Officer Jenny offers to take our heroes out to lunch instead. When they run into some crooks along the way, Jenny knocks them down with her set of bowling balls and Chatot uses Feather Dance to help apprehend them. As Jenny basks in the glow of a job well done, Team Rocket shows up to swipe Pikachu in a net. Officer Jenny jumps in front of Pikachu, and Team Rocket snags her Chatot by mistake! But Chatot has been Officer Jenny's pal and partner ever since she became a detective, and she won't let Team Rocket get away with this.
Team Rocket escapes and holes up in their hideout; they're hoping to give Chatot to the boss, but the talkative Pokémon is getting on their nerves. Staravia leads Officer Jenny and our heroes to the hideout, and Team Rocket tries to evade capture by jumping into their own giant bowling pin-shaped robot. No matter what attacks our heroes try, the robot refuses to be knocked down! But once Jenny's well-aimed bowling ball knocks over the robot, Chatot takes the opportunity to escape from Team Rocket. Team Rocket figures Jenny is out of bowling balls, but she has one weapon left: Chatot's Steel Wing! Chatot demolishes the robot, causing an explosion that sends Team Rocket sailing away. Now Officer Jenny and her Chatot can head to their next assignment in the Whirl Islands, and our heroes can finally head for Snowpoint City!
==Episode plot==
On their way to Snowpoint City, Dawn becomes distracted. Looking at her ribbon, she knows that she and Ash are coming to the home stretch. She only needs one more ribbon to compete in the Sinnoh Grand Finals, and Ash only needs two more badges to enter the Pokémon League. As she thinks on this though, she ends up separated from the group and fights to catch up again. Team Rocket would then attempt to interview Dawn, acting undercover as Jubilife TV Anchors. However, this is only a distraction, as they nab Pikachu. However, with the help of Piplup, Pikachu gets free and sends Team Rocket blasting off with a Thunderbolt. Officer Jenny would then speed by on her motorcycle to catch the falling Pikachu. Ash thanks her for saving Pikachu before being placed under arrest, much to his surprise. Jenny mentions that she transfered in from Kanto, and has been tracking the movements of Team Rocket. She requisitions his help in catching Team Rocket, due to his many encounters with them. Leaving them as bait in a park, they are introduced to the Chief of Police who mentions that Jenny has been giving them no end of trouble since transferring in. To brush off the Chief's words, she gets everyone lunch. However, dawn remains suspicious of this officer. Across the street, a robbery is occurring. Jenny races over to help, where she utilizes a bowling ball to stop the criminals. Team Rocket suddenly appears to take Pikachu, but they are halted by Jenny. However, Team Rocket escapes with her Chatot. She is angered by this and pursues with Ash's help. At the cabin, Team Rocket discover Chatot, and muse that Giovanni might enjoy this pokemon anyway. However, as time goes on, Chatot continues to repeat things they say, twisting them into insults. Jenny eventually catches up and offers to go alone, but Ash refuses and says he will go in with her. Jenny knocks down the door with a Bowling Ball and everyone infiltrates the building. Team Rocket flees, and as Ash and the others attempt to follow, they fall into a pit. Jenny escapes and helps the others out. Team Rocket utilizes a Bowling Pin Mecha, and sadly, Jenny's bowling balls don't work. But when Chatot is freed, she manages to defeat Team Rocket. Seeing Team Rocket has escaped, Jenny tells them that she's transfering out to The Whirl Islands. With one last good-bye, the group continue on to Snowpoint City.
==Trivia==
*There is no Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture following this episode.
*This episode marks one of the extremely rare occasions that a member of Team Rocket refers to one of the main characters by name (this being Jessie while disguised as a reporter at the beginning of the episode, referring to Dawn).
*This episode also marks the first time a Pokémon hurts Brock before Croagunk could when Brock flirts with a girl.
*There is one shot of Jenny whipping her bike sideways and braking sideways is a homage to the 1988 Japanese anime classic film Akira.
*In one scene the Chief of Police addresses Ash by his full name and is surprised to find him standing in the open fully visible to Team Rocket. This marks the first time that the police shows any concern that Team Rocket is following Ash and his friends.
===Mistakes===
*At the beginning of the episode, when Chatot hurts Brock before Croagunk does when he flirts with Jenny, Croagunk's Japanese voice can be heard very clearly.
*In one scene where Team Rocket are at their hideout and they cheer at the possibility Giovanni would reward them for presenting Chatot as a gift, the color of James's eye is seen as blue which should be green.
===Dub differences===
*In the original Japanese version, Officer Jenny's Chatot refers to James once as "Kosanji" while trying to say his name. This name for the most part is used to refer to Butch (Kosaburō). In the dub, it calls him "Lames" and also called Jessie "Messy", which is what Butch called them in Showdown at the Oak Corral.
**In the European Portuguese dub Chatot calls James "Bond", making a reference to James Bond and calls Jessie "Messi", making a reference to Lionel Messi.
