Danger, Sweet as Honey! (Japanese: 甘いハニーミツには危険がいっぱい！ The Dangerously Sweet Honey!) is the 124th episode of Pokémon the Series: Black & White, and the 781st episode of the Pokémon animated series. It first aired in Japan on May 2, 2013 and in the United States on August 3, 2013.
==Blurb==
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!
