BW126: Danger, Sweet as Honey!

is the 2nd episode of Pocket Monsters: Best Wishes! Season 2 - Decolore Adventure and the 27th episode of Pokémon: BW Adventures in Unova and Beyond.
==Synopsis==
Aboard a ship on their way to the Kanto region, our heroes can’t wait for their first stop in the Decolore Islands: Honey Island, home of the world-famous sweet honey produced by the Combee that live there, as well as some of the sweetest dessert treats anyone has ever tasted!
Upon disembarking from the Decolore Queen, they are greeted by Team Rocket’s Jessie and James disguised as tour guides, who offer to take Ash, Iris, and Cilan on a trip to the island’s famous dessert factory to taste all 151 of their sweet treats. But it’s a ruse, and our heroes end up falling into a pit trap as soon as they get out of the tour van. To make things worse, the ensuing battle draws an angry swarm of Beedrill, causing both heroes and villains to scatter. Everyone becomes separated from their Pokémon, forcing Pikachu, Axew, Oshawott, and Meowth to work together to get back to the ship. (Meowth, of course, has his own agenda, and Pikachu is rightfully suspicious...)
Both Pokémon and people run into some troubles along the way: the Beedrill won’t stop chasing Jessie and James, and Ash and the gang disturb an Ursaring and have to make a run for it. Meanwhile, Pikachu, Axew, and Oshawott end up rescuing Meowth from a dangerous Victreebel. When the Pokémon finally make their way back into town, two helpful police officers offer them a ride to the Pokémon Center to meet up with their Trainers...but they turn out to be Jessie and James again! Dragonite and Charizard are quickly on the scene with Ash, Iris, and Cilan, and the battle begins anew. But when Jessie tells Meowth to join the fight, he can’t bring himself to attack the Pokémon who helped him, and the villains are sent blasting off again.
Our heroes soon end up at the Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy first takes care of the tired Pokémon and then sets out an amazing spread of honey-infused treats for everyone to try. It’s a sweet ending to a long day!
==Episode plot==
The heroes admire the view and see an island from the ship. Porter explains that is Honey Island, known for its finest honey the Combee produce. It is also known for its honey soda, which is said to melt in the mouth, due to its fine taste. The heroes worry the cruiser may leave without them, but Porter replies they can simply go on a different ship, which will arrive soon after this one leaves. Once the ship stops, the heroes unboard. Team Rocket, however, is conducting a lottery, dressed in a disguise. A man takes out the ticket from the box, hoping he may win, but Meowth, beneath the box, gives him a X. The woman tries to do the same, but also gets an X from Meowth. Ash tries to take the ticket and Meowth gives him two circles, meaning he won. Team Rocket replies he won the lottery and can taste 151 desserts. Iris and Cilan are also permitted to join Ash, as they all enter their car.
Meowth also sneaks into the car. Jessie tells them they may taste the desserts, fresh from the oven, once they reach the factory. The heroes taste the honey soda, amazed how sweet it is. Oshawott comes out and tastes the soda as well. They go out of the car and walk a bit, thinking the factory is nearby. However, the heroes fall into a hole, as Team Rocket takes off their disguises. They take Pikachu and place him in a cage. However, Ash climbs out and has Oshawott use Hydro Pump, freeing Pikachu from the cage. Jessie sends Woobat and James sends Yamask. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but is countered by Yamask's Shadow Ball and Woobat's Air Slash. The collision creates an explosion and from a nearby tree, some Kakuna fall down and evolve. The now-evolved Beedrill start chasing Team Rocket and the heroes, since they have been disturbed. The cruiser leaves and Porter realizes he forgot to warn the passengers about the Beedrill hives.
The heroes run off and stop, realizing Pikachu, Oshawott and Axew are gone. James and Jessie are also safe, but notice Meowth is gone as well. Meowth walks by, tired from running away and encounters Pikachu with Oshawott and Axew. Meowth realizes he can play along and may be able to catch all three for Team Rocket. He kneels, replying he wants to leave his past behind and help them out, while Axew and Oshawatt go along with it, Pikachu remains suspicious. Meowth decides to bring them back and hearing these Pokémon are hungry, goes to find some food for them. He takes them to an apple tree, where he uses Fury Swipes to cut the apples and give to all of them. Meowth is glad he has their trust, since it makes it easier to hand them over to Jessie and James. James and Jessie fly up in their balloon and find the Pokémon walking on a road.
They descend down to get them, but accidentally hit a tree. This causes Beedrill to be upset, who fly to them. James and Jessie speed up, but get their balloon got pierced by Beedrill's stinger and blast off. The heroes try to find their Pokémon, but end up running away from an Ursaring, who uses Hyper Beam. The heroes are worried, wondering what kind of an island is this. Meanwhile, the Pokémon have to cross the river. Oshawott swims to the other side, but Meowth reminds him how will the rest cross the river. Instead, they find a plank to ride on. Suddenly, they are about to crash into a rock, so Axew and Meowth stroke, while Pikachu uses Iron Tail to speed up. Since it isn't working, Oshawott uses Hydro Pump to push them all away from the rock. As the Pokémon are close to the other side, three Remoraid appear and soak Meowth using Water Gun. The latter nearly falls into the river, but Axew grabs him by his paw and pulls him back.
Meowth is glad they make a good team, but Pikachu still has a bad feeling about his enemy. Charizard and Dragonite try to find them, but with no success. However, they find Woobat of Team Rocket. Jessie and James are not pleased to find the enemies here, who remind them Team Rocket was the one that started all this. Woobat attacks Charizard and Dragonite with Air Slash (despite James' protest). They dodge and retaliate with Flamethrower and Ice Beam. They miss Woobat and hit some trees, from which Beedrill appear and chase everyone off. As the Pokémon walk, Axew finds a Victreebel and looks into its mouth. Meowth pulls him away, as it is dangerous to do that and gets sucked into Victreebel's mouth. Pikachu, Oshawott and Axew pull him out and despite Victreebel fleeing, Meowth got affected by its Stun Spore. Axew looks and finds some herbs to heal the paralysis which Oshawatt mashes with his shell chop, while Pikachu grabs some water.
Meowth consumes the herbs and drinks the water. With some time, Meowth is cured from paralysis and thanks others for healing them, feeling no matter which problem they face, they can overcome it as friends, though Pikachu is not as trusting. They walk towards the port and encounter two policemen, who Meowth knows as Jessie and James. The former is pleased his plan to bring the Pokémon to James and Jessie worked, so encourages the others to step into the police car. Pikachu stands still, for he does not trust them all. Suddenly, the heroes arrive and Oshawott, Axew and Pikachu re-join them. Cilan sees the police car and recognizes it to be Team Rocket's car. Team Rocket takes off their disguises and send Yamask and Woobat. Woobat uses Hidden Power, but misses Pikachu, Axew and Oshawott, along with Yamask's Shadow Ball. Meowth goes to charge in and attack them with Fury Swipes. However, he stops, thinking how Pikachu, Oshawott and Axew healed him from paralysis and is blown back and frozen, along with Jessie and James, with Dragonite's Ice Beam. Using Flamethrower, Charizard blasts Team Rocket off.
Later, the heroes visit the Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy tells them Beedrill and Ursaring can be a big problem on the island. There, Nurse Joy gives them many honey-based products, from cake and puddings to milk mixed with honey. The heroes start eating, fascinated by the sweetness.
