After the events in [[EP082|the previous episode]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} managed to touch the {{wp|blimp}} down on [[Valencia Island]]. As they walk, Ash finds the tropical heat exhausting. They get to an outlook and realize that they cannot find [[Professor Ivy]]'s lab. {{AP|Pikachu}} points to what appears to be a [[Pokémon Center]]. They go inside and find [[Nurse Joy]], much like previous centers. Nurse Joy gives them directions to Ivy's lab. They get to the lab and go inside, finding it empty. A floor hatch opens and [[Professor Ivy's assistants|three girls]] greet them, leading the trio down to the beach. A {{p|Gyarados}} comes out of the sea as a woman pets it, shocking everyone by her skill. Gyarados takes her to the shore as one of the girls tosses her a lab coat. She introduces herself as Professor Ivy.  
After the events of [[EP082|the previous episode]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} manage to crash-land Team Rocket's {{wp|blimp}} on [[Valencia Island]]. They get to an outlook and realize that they cannot find [[Professor Ivy]]'s lab. {{AP|Pikachu}} points to what appears to be a [[Pokémon Center]]. They go inside and find [[Nurse Joy]], and she gives them the directions to Ivy's lab. They get to the lab and go inside, where they are met by [[Professor Ivy's assistants|three girls]] who lead the group down to the beach. There, a {{p|Gyarados}} comes out of the sea as a woman pets it, shocking everyone with her skill. Gyarados takes her to the shore as one of the girls tosses her a lab coat. She introduces herself as Professor Ivy.


Back at the lab, Ivy shows them the gold and silver ball. She reveals the inscribed letters on the top of the ball, giving it the name the [[GS Ball]]. One of the assistants demonstrates how the ball could not be transported. Ivy also points out how multiple attempts to open it have all failed. Ivy hands the ball over to Ash to deliver to {{an|Professor Oak}}. Ash calls Oak and shows him the GS Ball. Ivy takes the phone and the two professors talk, the scientific terminology baffling Ash and prompting him to cut the call short.

Ivy hands the Ball over to Ash to deliver to {{an|Professor Oak}}. Meanwhile, at the airfield, [[James]] and {{MTR}} are dismayed by the ruined blimp, but [[Jessie]] reminds them that Ash and his friends have a return trip booked. Knowing that it means another shot at catching {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TRT}} starts repairing the blimp.


At the airfield, {{MTR}} looks in shock at the ruined blimp. Both Meowth and [[James]] believe the blimp is beyond repair, but [[Jessie]] smacks them and reminds them that Ash and his friends have a return trip booked. Knowing that it means getting another shot at catching Pikachu, {{TRT}} gets to work repairing the blimp.
Ivy leads Ash and the others through the outdoor environment, which serves as an extension of her lab. {{an|Misty}} smells the flowers, but is startled after a {{p|Vileplume}} steps out of the bushes. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] and notices the Vileplume has [[List of alternately colored Pokémon in the animated series#Valencian Pokémon|differently colored petals]]. The assistants rush out a crate of Pokémon food as other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} come out, all possessing an unusual orange coloring. Ivy explains that she has bred and raised all of Valencia Island's Pokémon, and they form an invaluable part of her research into the effect of the tropical climate's effects on Pokémon. Just then, an assistant points out that the {{p|Butterfree}} has not eaten in days despite them offering it different food combinations. {{an|Brock}} samples the food before running off. He returns to smash {{Berries}}, pointing out that the taste is important. He sprinkles the solution onto the food, and the Butterfree flies down immediately to eat, amazing Ivy.

Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] and notices the Vileplume has {{shiny|different color leaves}}. The assistants rush out a crate of Pokémon food as other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} come out, all possessing different coloring than normal. Ivy points the difference to the tropical climate. {{an|Brock}} and the others are amazed at the varying Pokémon as Pikachu and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} take a sample of the food. Ash and Misty scold them, but attention quickly shifts when an assistant points out that the {{p|Butterfree}} has not eaten in days despite different food combinations. Brock samples the food before running off. He returns to smash berries, pointing out that the taste is important. He sprinkles the solution onto the food, and the Butterfree flies down immediately to eat. The professor is amazed at Brock's skill.  
Back at the living quarters, everyone is shocked at the amount of disorder there. Brock promptly puts on his gear and goes into a cleaning frenzy, making the place spotless and preparing dinner, much to the pleasure of Ivy and the assistants. Later that night, while everyone sleeps, Ivy and the assistants watch a group of Vileplume marking the area with their pollen. Brock offers them some [[rice ball]]s as he watches. An assistant notices a {{p|Raticate}} entering the pollen cloud. Ivy rushes in to pull Raticate to safety, in the process exposing herself to the pollen, which weakens her. She orders the assistants to contact the Pokémon Center. At the Center, Joy treats both Raticate and Ivy. Due to her actions, Raticate was not severely hurt and will recover. The assistants show their concerns for Ivy as Brock watches with admiration.


Back at the living quarters, everyone is shocked at the amount of disorder, the assistants referring to it as a little dump. Brock goes crazy at the need to clean, putting on his gear and going into a cleaning frenzy, making the place spotless and preparing an awesome dinner. The professor and the assistants jump into the food as Brock muses at the comparison to his family. Later that night, while everyone sleeps, Professor Ivy and the assistants watch Vileplume mark the area with their pollen. Brock meets with them and gives them a snack as he watches. The assistant notices a {{p|Raticate}} entering the pollen zone. Ivy rushes in to pull Raticate to safety, exposing herself to the pollen and weakening her. She orders the assistants to contact the Pokémon Center. At the center, Joy treats both Raticate and the Professor. Due to her actions, Raticate was not hurt very much and will recover. The assistants show their concerns to Ivy as Brock watches with admiration.
The next day, Ash and Misty prepare to leave, but they notice Brock is not with them. They find him fixing the roof with {{cat|Brock's Pokémon|his Pokémon}}, and Ivy notes that Brock wants to stay. Brock explains that he can learn about Pokémon at the lab and that they need him more than Ash does. Ash agrees, and he and Misty bid farewell to Brock, Ivy, and her assistants. Later on, Misty notes how different it will be without Brock before bringing up the dilemma about getting back to [[Pallet Town]]. Ash brings out the blimp tickets, but Misty quickly reminds him that the blimp was a sham. When they arrive at the airfield, they find a brand-new blimp on standby, and a disguised Team Rocket whisks them aboard. The ship takes to the skies as {{an|Jigglypuff}} manages to get onboard.

Ash and Misty leave the lab and wave farewell to Brock, Professor Ivy, and her assistants.
When Ash and Misty request food, Team Rocket steps out and drops a steel cage to imprison them before revealing themselves. They notice Brock is not with them and tease them about being a couple. Ash orders Pikachu to attack, but Jessie warns that the attack will destroy the entire blimp. Just then, Jigglypuff jumps in and {{m|sing}}s, putting Ash and Misty to sleep. Team Rocket quickly grabs {{wp|parachute}}s and opens the hatch to escape, with Jigglypuff flying out with them. However, Ash and Misty remain caged and asleep on the blimp without a pilot.
 
As they walk, Misty notes how different it will be without Brock before bringing up the dilemma about getting back to [[Pallet Town]]. Ash brings out the blimp tickets as Misty mentions how the blimp was a disaster. When they get to the field, they find a brand new blimp on standby. A disguised Team Rocket whisks them aboard. The ship takes to the skies as {{an|Jigglypuff}} manages to get onboard.
 
When Ash and Misty request food, Team Rocket steps out and drops a steel cage to imprison them before revealing themselves. They notice Brock is not with them and James cracks a joke about Ash and Misty being "a pair of very romantic creatures", with Meowth adding that Ash and Misty are [[PokéShipping|lovebirds]], which both of them blatantly deny. Jessie adds that they're both blushing. Ash orders {{AP|Pikachu}} to attack, but Jessie warns that the attack will destroy the entire blimp. Jigglypuff jumps in and {{m|sing}}s. Team Rocket quickly grabs {{wp|Parachute|parachutes}} and opens the hatch, flying out as well as Jigglypuff. Misty and Ash are stuck on the blimp without a pilot.

After making a crash landing onto Valencia Island, our heroes get directions to Professor Ivy's laboratory where the mysterious Pokéball is being held. Once at the laboratory, Brock realizes that Professor Ivy and her group of scientists are Pokémon breeders just like him! Suddenly Brock begins to feel at home and thinks about staying for awhile to continue his studies on Pokémon breeding.

Plot

After the events of the previous episode, Ash and his friends manage to crash-land Team Rocket's blimp on Valencia Island. They get to an outlook and realize that they cannot find Professor Ivy's lab. Pikachu points to what appears to be a Pokémon Center. They go inside and find Nurse Joy, and she gives them the directions to Ivy's lab. They get to the lab and go inside, where they are met by three girls who lead the group down to the beach. There, a Gyarados comes out of the sea as a woman pets it, shocking everyone with her skill. Gyarados takes her to the shore as one of the girls tosses her a lab coat. She introduces herself as Professor Ivy.

Back at the lab, Ivy shows them the gold Poké Ball. She reveals the inscribed letters on the top of the ball, giving it the name the GS Ball. One of the assistants demonstrates how the ball could not be transported. Ivy also points out how multiple attempts to open it have all failed. Ivy hands the Ball over to Ash to deliver to Professor Oak. Meanwhile, at the airfield, James and Meowth are dismayed by the ruined blimp, but Jessie reminds them that Ash and his friends have a return trip booked. Knowing that it means another shot at catching Pikachu, Team Rocket starts repairing the blimp.

Ivy leads Ash and the others through the outdoor environment, which serves as an extension of her lab. Misty smells the flowers, but is startled after a Vileplume steps out of the bushes. Ash checks his Pokédex and notices the Vileplume has differently colored petals. The assistants rush out a crate of Pokémon food as other Pokémon come out, all possessing an unusual orange coloring. Ivy explains that she has bred and raised all of Valencia Island's Pokémon, and they form an invaluable part of her research into the effect of the tropical climate's effects on Pokémon. Just then, an assistant points out that the Butterfree has not eaten in days despite them offering it different food combinations. Brock samples the food before running off. He returns to smash Berries, pointing out that the taste is important. He sprinkles the solution onto the food, and the Butterfree flies down immediately to eat, amazing Ivy.

Back at the living quarters, everyone is shocked at the amount of disorder there. Brock promptly puts on his gear and goes into a cleaning frenzy, making the place spotless and preparing dinner, much to the pleasure of Ivy and the assistants. Later that night, while everyone sleeps, Ivy and the assistants watch a group of Vileplume marking the area with their pollen. Brock offers them some rice balls as he watches. An assistant notices a Raticate entering the pollen cloud. Ivy rushes in to pull Raticate to safety, in the process exposing herself to the pollen, which weakens her. She orders the assistants to contact the Pokémon Center. At the Center, Joy treats both Raticate and Ivy. Due to her actions, Raticate was not severely hurt and will recover. The assistants show their concerns for Ivy as Brock watches with admiration.

The next day, Ash and Misty prepare to leave, but they notice Brock is not with them. They find him fixing the roof with his Pokémon, and Ivy notes that Brock wants to stay. Brock explains that he can learn about Pokémon at the lab and that they need him more than Ash does. Ash agrees, and he and Misty bid farewell to Brock, Ivy, and her assistants. Later on, Misty notes how different it will be without Brock before bringing up the dilemma about getting back to Pallet Town. Ash brings out the blimp tickets, but Misty quickly reminds him that the blimp was a sham. When they arrive at the airfield, they find a brand-new blimp on standby, and a disguised Team Rocket whisks them aboard. The ship takes to the skies as Jigglypuff manages to get onboard.

When Ash and Misty request food, Team Rocket steps out and drops a steel cage to imprison them before revealing themselves. They notice Brock is not with them and tease them about being a couple. Ash orders Pikachu to attack, but Jessie warns that the attack will destroy the entire blimp. Just then, Jigglypuff jumps in and sings, putting Ash and Misty to sleep. Team Rocket quickly grabs parachutes and opens the hatch to escape, with Jigglypuff flying out with them. However, Ash and Misty remain caged and asleep on the blimp without a pilot.

Trivia

Normal-colored Paras from Valencia Island in The Power of One
  • Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture: Professor Oak is struck by lightning, whose electricity is then absorbed by Electabuzz.
    • Pokémon senryū summary: Beware of Electabuzz, thunder, fires, and fathers.
  • Though Professor Ivy said that Pokémon have slightly different coloration in the Orange Islands, only Butterfree's coloration remained consistent in future episodes. All of the other Pokémon seen have had their regular colors in the Orange Islands. Even when a Paras and a Nidorina from Valencia Island appeared in The Power of One, they were normal-colored.
  • Near the end of the episode, right before Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on Team Rocket, they warn Ash that the blimp is filled with flammable gas, and if Pikachu used an Electric attack, they would explode. This is most likely a reference to the Hindenburg disaster of 1937, when a German zeppelin filled with flammable hydrogen gas exploded and crash-landed while attempting to land in New Jersey, killing 36 people. The cause of the explosion was most likely due to a static electricity build-up that had sparked and ignited the gas.
  • The cry of the Lapras in the Who's That Pokémon? segment is different from other Lapras depicted.
  • This episode, along with two others, were adapted into the book Journey to the Orange Islands.
  • The concept of Pokémon having different characteristics based on their habitats was later implemented into the games starting in Generation VII in the form of regional forms.
    • Coincidentally, the region this concept was introduced in is a tropical archipelago, like the Orange Islands.

Errors

The title card
  • The title card displays the name for this episode as Pokéball Peril instead of Poké Ball Peril (incorrectly formatting "Poké Ball"). The title Pokéball Peril is also used on Pokémon.com, as well as Pokémon TV.
    • This episode's title is formatted as PokéBall Peril on the DVD menu of Australian DVDs.
  • This episode, Pallet Party Panic, and A Scare in the Air use the Pokémon Theme instead of Pokémon World as the opening in the Kids' WB! and Cartoon Network airings, the Netflix and Pokémon TV video-on-demand, and Australian DVD releases. However, the US DVD releases use Pokémon World.
  • When saying goodbye, Brock has on his apron, but then is shown with his usual green vest seconds later.
  • When Ash and Misty are walking by themselves after waving goodbye to everybody, Misty's ponytail is on the right side instead of the left. When the camera changes to the close up, the ponytail is back on the left.
  • While on the video phone, Professor Ivy has the receiver and so does Professor Oak, but Ash speaks without it. Ash can obviously hear Professor Oak talking too.

Dub edits

  • Pikachu's Jukebox: My Best Friends
  • In the dub, James calls Ash and Misty a pair of "very romantic creatures" when Team Rocket captures them. In the Japanese version, he teases them that they had decided to "dump that guy" (Brock) and elope.
