***Danger, Sweet as Honey!*** (甘いハニーミツには危険がいっぱい！ *The Dangerously Sweet Honey!*) is the 783rd episode of the Pokémon anime series. In this episode, Ash and his friends continue their journey to the first Decolora island.

## Summary

Ash Ketchum, Iris, and Cilan are shown to be on their way to the first island they will be visiting, which Porter points out is called Honey Island. he explains that its name is from the world-famous honey that is found there by Combee. Hearing about Combee, Ash checks out the Pokémon on his Pokédex. It is then told that there are many delicious desserts at the island, all made out of honey. Excited about hearing that, Ash, Iris, and Cilan decide to go out to the island as soon as they get there. However, Cilan points out that they might miss the boat if they get off it, but Porter points out that there will another boat at Honey Island once this one leaves. Hearing the news, Ash and his friends are determined to go to their first island in the Decolora Islands.

After the intro scene, people are seen leaving the boat, excited to taste all of the wonderful food the place has to offer. As Ash and his friends get off the boat, they see two people who claim to be a welcoming committee who lets guests have a chance of winning a wonderful prize. However, these two people are actually Jessie and James in disguise. This intrigues a guest who puts his hand in the "bowl" to see if he draws the lucky ticket. This is when it is found out that Meowth is under the counter giving people losing tickets on purpose. Once the first guest fails, his wife tries her luck at the drawing, but again Meowth gives them a losing ticket. Saddened by the results, the couple leaves and Ash gives it a try. Jessie makes note of his Pikachu, giving Meowth a notice of who's up now. Meowth gives Ash the a winning ticket which Jessie points out is the grand prize winning ticket. Iris asks them what he won and James explains to them that the prize is 151 sweet treats that is all-you-can-eat. Jessie and James get Ash and his friends onto a vehicle that they explain will take them to the factory where all of their sweet treats are made. Jessie offers them all honey soda to enjoy on their way to the factory. While enjoying the soda, Ash's Oshawott appears out of his Poké Ball to enjoy the soda as well.

When they arrive at their destination, Ash, Iris, and Cilan notice that they are in the meadow and not anywhere near the town. While walking around, the three of them fall into a giant hole and it is then that they discover that it is Team Rocket who created the hole as well as the two people who let them win their grand prize. After realizing it was a trick, Team Rocket captures Pikachu, and Ash tells his Oshawott to use hydro pump on them which results in Pikachu being freed from Team Rocket. Angered by what happened, Jessie sends out her Woobat and James sends out his Yamask. This starts a battle between Ash and Team Rocket, so Ash tells his Pikachu to use thunderbolt and Jessie and James tell their Pokémon to use air slash and shadow ball, respectively. This results in an explosion inbetween the three Pokémon and knocking a group of Kakuna from the tree. However, these Kakuna start to evolve and become a swarm of Beedrill. Due to upsetting the Beedrill, they begin to chase everyone with their stingers.

The scene then quickly changes to back on the boat where Porter mentions that he forgot to tell the guests to watch out for the Beedrill swarms. The scene then changes back to Ash, Iris, and Cilan where they stop for a break from the Beedrill and notice that Pikachu, Oshawott and Axew are missing. They then bring out their Pokédex and discover that Beedrill have pointy stingers that can poison their enemy. After hearing the news, it is decided that they must go and find their three Pokémon right away. Once again the scene is changed to Jessie and James where they make note of what just happened and then notice that Meowth is not with them. Meowth is then seen walking in the woods where he runs into Pikachu, Oshawott, and Axew, where he is then trying to think of a plan to capture Pikachu. He goes over to the three Pokémon, explaining that it is his fault they are lost and that he should trust him to let them walk together to get back to port. While not believing Meowth, their stomachs begin to rumble and Meowth says that he will help them get food. They find an apple tree where Meowth uses his fury swipes on the tree, knocking down some apples. While Axew and Oshawott are happy with having food, Pikachu is still suspicious of Meowth, but eats the apple anyway.

Jessie and James are then seen in their hot-air balloon where they are trying to search for Meowth. Jessie then notices Meowth and James makes note that he is walking with Pikachu, Oshawott, and Axew. They plan on capturing the Pokémon and that their boss will be proud of them. However, their balloon hits a tree, upsetting a group of Beedrill once more. While trying to escape them, a Beedrill comes to the front of the balloon and pops it, sending Jessie and James far off into the sky. The scene then returns to Ash, Iris, and Cilan who are still trying to find their Pokémon. Iris mentions that it is too quiet, but then they saw some bushes moving. However, much to their surprise, there was an Ursaring hiding there and became upset due to being disturbed. The Ursaring began using [[Hyper Beam at the three of them, causing them to run away. Ash, again, brings out his Pokédex to find out about Ursaring where they find out Ursaring are around due to the honey on the island.

After Who's That Pokémon?, Meowth and the other Pokémon are seen at a side of a river where they are trying to figure out how to cross it. Oshawott, being a water-type Pokémon, quickly swims over to the other side, but Pikachu and Meowth yell at it because they cannot easily swim as it can. This results in Oshawott swimming back and Meowth says if they can find some wood, they can swim across on that. Pikachu, Axew, and Meowth get on the board while Oshawott pushes them in the water. However, the current is too strong and they start heading towards a rock. While Meowth kept trying to push them in the right direction, it was not working. So, Pikachu uses his Iron Tail in the water and Oshawott uses its Hydro Pump towards the rock, moving them away from the rock and into safety until they ran into a group of Remoraid. Meowth almost falls into the water, but Axew catches his fall. Meowth mentions how good they all work together, but Pikachu is still suspicious of Meowth.

It is then taken back to Ash, Iris, and Cilan, where Ash's Charizard and Iris' Dragonite are seen up in the air trying to find where their other Pokémon are. Unfortunately, neither Charizard or Dragonite found anything. It is then that Charizard spotted something and the gang followed it. Jessie is then seen asking her Woobat if its sees Meowth, but Woobat replies with no and is surprised by Charizard and Dragonite being in front of it. Upon seeing them, Team Rocket turns around to find Ash, Iris, and Cilan where both them and Team Rocket try pointing fingers and blaming one another for why their Pokémon got lost. To much of James' surprise, Jessie orders her Woobat to attack Charizard and Dragonite with air slash, for which they easily dodge. Ash then orders his Charizard to use Flamethrower and Iris tells her Dragonite to use Ice Beam. This, again, upsets a swarm of Beedrill.

The scene then changes once more to the lost Pokémon where Axew stumbles upon a sleeping Victreebel]]. Pikachu and Meowth warn Axew to stay away from it, and Pikachu pulls Axew away and Meowth gets behind Axew. This leads Victreebel to biting onto Meowth's head and using Stun Spore on Meowth, paralyzing it. Axew then comes up with an idea to cure Meowth, so Axew, Pikachu, and Oshawott begin searching for herbs to cure Meowth. After giving the cure to Meowth, he is then good as new and thanks the three of them for helping him out. He mentions that no matter what obstacle they faced, they always saw it through and the four of them do a group cheer, but Pikachu still seems a little confused and suspicious. Continuing their walk, the Pokémon find the port once again and run into two police officers, secretly disguised as Jessie and James, where they explain they received a report of a missing Pikachu, Oshawott, and Axew. They try to get the Pokémon into their vehicle and Oshawott and Axew happily go in. However, Pikachu refused to go in. This slightly frustrated Team Rocket and soon after Ash, Iris, and Cilan run into them. The three trainers are suspicious of the police officers and especially of their patrol car. This results in Charizard blowing some air toward it and thus easily destroying the lights on the car. They then find out that it really is Team Rocket and a battle begins. Jessie and James again send out their Woobat and Yamask, respectively. Jessie tells her Woobat to use Hidden Power, for which the Pokémon dodged and then James told his Yamask to use shadow ball, which was dodged as well. Jessie then tells Meowth to get in the fight, and Meowth goes into the fight using its fury swipes. However, in mid-air, Meowth starts to have memories of how helpful and nice Pikachu, Oshawott, and Axew were to it and stopped its attack. It is then that Iris told Dragonite to use ice beam on them and then Ash told Charizard to use Flamethrower. This results in a big explosion, sending Team Rocket blasting off in the sky after a witty comment made by Meowth.

The episode ends with Ash, Iris, and Cilan in the Pokémon Center where Nurse Joy explains to them that the island is really nice in the town, but how there are Beedrill and Ursaring in the fields and forests. Nurse Joy's Audino then comes out to tell everyone that the food is now ready. Nurse Joy goes through a variety of honey food, which excites everyone at the table, including the Pokémon. When they finally tried the food, they fell in love with all of it and the episode ends with the seeing the gang inside the Pokémon center from a window where Combee are flying nearby.
