Ep. 19: Heroes confront a hotel project threatening coral reefs and Pokémon in Hutber Port.

19

The group reaches Hutber Port, a ferry hub, where they encounter a wealthy cousin of a local competitor. This individual plans to build a massive luxury hotel on a vital coral reef habitat for Tentacool and Horsea. When the Pokémon disrupt the construction, the cousin and local youths offer a $10,000 reward to remove them. Team Rocket attempts to claim the prize by spraying a stun sauce mixture into the water. The chemical unexpectedly transforms the Tentacool into a giant Tentacruel, which attacks the humans. Ash, Misty, Brock, and their Pokémon must engage in a difficult battle to stop the creature, realizing that combat strength alone is insufficient to resolve the crisis.
