Bows that Bind

**Bows that Bind** is the ninth episode of the sixth season of Super Mario Island and the overall 284th episode.

## Summary

Flygon overhears the Super Mario crew having a conversation and mistakenly believes that they're planning to get rid of her and the Pokémon crew.

## Plot

The episode begins at Seashell Beach, where Flygon is happily relaxing on the sand. She suddenly hears the Super Mario crew from the other side of Seashell Beach. Mario is demanding Birdo to get rid of "all ten" by tomorrow. Flygon believes that he's talking about her and the Pokémon crew and rushes to tell her friends and sister. What she doesn't know is that Mario is really telling Birdo to get rid of her collection of antique bows, although she loves antique bows.

Flygon's friends and sister refuse to believe her, thinking it's paranoia, only to become convinced when Flygon has them listen to the argument out of content. Believing their wild and crazy natures are to blame, they decide to work together to give up their vices, and clean up the island. Afterward, they hear the Super Mario crew again, and it appears that Mario won't get rid of them all...instead, he'll only let Birdo keep one. As they decide which ones to get rid of, they single out the Pokémon one-by-one until it apparently leaves Flygon as the one they'll keep.
