Poketto monsutâ - Season 9 Episode 23

On their way to the Battle Tower, Ash and his friends come across a stray Smoochum. But before they can get close, they get a very chilly reception from three Jynx who are very protective of Smoochum. Ash is upset at first, but finally realizes it\’s best to leave them alone. While everyone is distracted, Smoochum wanders back into the forest and finds Team Rocket fighting over food. Even though Smoochum innocently eats their last rice ball, Jessie forgives it when she decides its cute looks are their ticket to a show business fortune!\n\nAsh thaws out in town, but then the Jynx arrive looking for Smoochum. They\’re freezing everything in their path until they find it! With Swellow\’s help, the Smoochum snatchers are spotted, and our heroes chase them with the Jynx in hot pursuit. Team Rocket fails to fool the Jynx with Meowth, Mime Jr., and a couple of yellow wigs, but Jessie still won\’t give up \”her\” Smoochum. She escapes up a utility tower with Ash in hot pursuit, while the Jynx try to put both of them on ice.\n\nTeam Rocket\’s getaway balloon is a little too late, and Jessie accidentally drops Smoochum. Ash leaps off the tower to save it, and the Jynx use Psychic to save him. Team Rocket won\’t give up, so Ash and the Jynx work together to send them on a one-way trip out of town. Now the Jynx understand Ash\’s good intentions and everything is back to normal, just in time for Smoochum to evolve! The Battle Tower will have to wait until tomorrow—until then it\’s time for a good night\’s rest after a busy day.
