Going for the Gold! (Japanese: 黄金のコイキングを釣り上げろ！！ Fish up the Golden Koiking!!) is the 22nd episode of the XY series, and the 821st episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on April 10, 2014 and is scheduled to air in the United States on June 21, 2014.
Plot
Ash and his friends arrive at Ambrette Town and are met with a spectacular view of the sea. As Bonnie and some of the group's Pokémon play in the ocean, Serena suggests that the gang go to the Ambrette Aquarium. There they are told they can observe the ecology of many Water type Pokémon, and Bonnie seizes the opportunity to ask the aquarium woman to marry her brother. Looking at the exhibits inside the aquarium, the group is in awe at the many species of Water Pokémon displayed up close. While looking at the Magikarp exhibit,a man tells the travelers interesting facts about Water Pokémon and takes them to see the statue of the Golden Magikarp. When Ash inquires, the man tells them to go to the director of the aquarium, who is sitting on the beach, for more information about the statue. Team Rocket,disguised as tourists, watches as the group races down to the beach and resolve to find out more about the Golden Magikarp.
Down on the beach, the aquarium director introduces himself as Louden and his partner, Clauncher. He says he is trying to fish for the real version of the Golden Magikarp. He tells the group of an ancient legend. At a time when fishing by holding your breath was popular, a fisherman was electrocuted by a Starmie, but was saved from drowning by a giant, golden, Magikarp. Since then, there have been occasional reports of the Magikarp being seen again. The director's dream is to capture the Golden Magikarp so that it can be viewed in the aquarium. Team Rocket, back in their uniforms, watch and listen from underwater in a Magikarp submarine, and decide to get the Golden Magikarp for themselves. Up on shore, Louden releases a normal Magikarp and the travelers offer to help him. He gives Ash, Serena, and Clemont rods, and Ash teaches Serena how to fish. Later, Serena reels in a Corsola, but fails to capture it. Bonnie and Dedenne attempt to play with Clauncher, but soon it and Dedenne begin to fight, and Louden tells them that it is not very friendly.
Team Rocket has made a submarine to look like the Golden Magikarp, and hope to trick the real thing into coming closer so that they can grab it with the submarine's claws. On the beach, Clemont works on a machine that sends out special soundwaves that attract Magikarp so that the fishers can catch them, however, it only manages to attract Sharpedo, which wreck the machine. Underwater in the golden submarine, Team Rocket attempts to catch a Starmie, which promptly electrocutes them. While nothing bites, Clemont unveils another improved machine for the same purpose as before, but it seems to have no reaction. Everyone feels a pull, however, as Team Rocket's submarine gets caught by their lines and surfaces. The group rejoices, thinking they have found the Golden Magikarp, but soon Team Rocket emerges with their motto and decides to capture the group's Pokémon. The Pokémon at first manage to evade the submarine's claws,but Dedenne is grabbed. Before Ash can send Pikachu, Clauncher begins to attack the claws and rescues Dedenne. Team Rocket takes out Pumpkaboo and Inkay, but Clauncher dodges both of their attacks and Louden commands it to use Water Gun, Crabhammer and Bubble Beam on after another. Ash and Pikachu finish Team Rocket with Thunderbolt
When the sun sets, the fishers decide to call it a day, and Louden lets the travelers keep the fishing rods. As they thank him, the real Golden Magikarp leaps from the water. Louden promises to have captured the Magikarp by the next time the travelers visit, and waves them off.
