Critical Situation! Bakuong vs Juptile! : Season 7 Episode 26
Aired: February 19th, 2005
Ash is enjoying a friendly Pokémon battle with a trainer he chanced to meet on the road, when his opponent's Loudred evolves into an Exploud just as his Treecko evolves unexpectedly into a Grovyle. In a further coincidence, Ash and friends soon encounter yet another Exploud--but just in time to witness Team Rocket capturing it, by cheat, rather than Pokémon battle.
