The Cave of Mirrors! (Japanese: うつしみの洞窟！鏡の国のサトシとサトシ！？ Reflection Cave! Mirror World Satoshi and Satoshi!?) is the 37th episode of the XY series, and the 836th episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on July 31, 2014 and in the United States on September 27, 2014.
Blurb
While our heroes are exploring Reflection Cave, named for its mirrorlike crystal walls, Ash's own reflection pulls Pikachu through one of the mirrors! Ash leaps after it and finds himself in another world, with a Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena very different from the ones he knows.
After our Ash helps Mirror Ash drive off Team Rocket and reclaim his own Pikachu, Mirror Clemont tells him of a frightening legend—people who pass through one of the mirrors in Reflection Cave must return to their own world before sunset or risk being stuck on the wrong side of the mirror forever! Ash hurries back to the mirror he first stepped through, where his friends are waiting on the other side, and all of them focus on reuniting with each other.
Thanks to the strong bonds of friendship, Ash and Pikachu are pulled back to their own world just in time!
Plot
As Ash and his friends make their way to Shalour City, Serena and Bonnie rush off to a cave, but when Clemont asks what is so special about the cave, Serena says that they will have to wait until they get inside to find out. Once everyone is inside the cave, they all see giant stones, and Serena tells them that the cave is called Reflection Cave, as Clemont, Bonnie and Serena admire the reflective, mirror-like rocks, Ash rushes off when he discovers there is more of the cave to explore. Not wanting to get left behind, everyone chases after Ash. While Ash wonders around the cave, he sees a bright light coming from behind him coming from one of the rocks, but just as he approaches the rock, the light disappears and he stares at it confused.
When Ash's friends catch up with him, they run down the cave, only to come to a dead end, so they suggest looking for another way, but Ash races off again to look, as everyone follows to try to catch him up. Separated from Ash again, Serena shouts for Ash, who has come to another dead-end, so he decides he should head back, but notices he is lost as well. As Ash approaches another mirror-like rock, this one starts to shine and open like the one from earlier, but this time Ash sees himself reach out and grab Pikachu, causing Ash to shout out, alerting his friends as they rush in his direction, but only see him as he disappears through the opening in the mirror before it closes.
The scene then cuts to show a light at the end of the cave, but as Ash exits the cave, he is in a forest that looks much different than ones he has seen before. Running down the path looking for Pikachu, Ash is stopped by Serena, who is different than Serena he knows, Bonnie shows up, informing Clemont, who races past them, stops, before running back. As Ash explains what has happened to Pikachu, Serena doesn't believe him when he tells them that another him grabbed Pikachu from him, as Serena and Bonnie mock him. The three aren't convinced by Ash's story, but Serena does admit there is something different about him compared to the Ash she knows and Mirror Clemont tells them of a legend about Reflection Cave. As Ash tells the three of them that they are different to his friends back in his world, Serena gets annoyed telling him that she's the only Serena before she challenges him to a battle, telling him she'll believe him if he manages to beat her, to which he accepts. The battle begins as Mirror Serena sends out Fennekin as Ash chooses his Froakie, Fennekin starts off with Flamethrower which is countered by Froakie's Water Pulse, Serena tells Fennekin to use Scratch, but Froakie uses Double Team to avoid it, making Mirror Serena panic, as the battle finishes with Fennekin being knocked out by Bubble. Since Ash won the battle, Serena has no choice but to believe he is telling the truth just as Mirror Ash reveals himself with Ash's Pikachu. Clemont asks then what happened for Mirror Ash to get in this situation, to which he explains that after losing to Serena, he ran into Reflection Cave, but shortly loses sight of Pikachu, so when he saw Ash's Pikachu, he grabbed him thinking he was his. Ash then asks what Mirror Ash's Pikachu is like, to which he explains he is wild and aggressive as the scene cuts to Team Rocket trying to capture Mirror Ash's Pikachu.
Pikachu uses Iron Tail to send Meowth flying into James as Jessie catches the device and captures Pikachu in it. Ash tells Mirror Ash that he can't leave him knowing he's in trouble and offers to help him find his Pikachu as Mirror Serena wonders how they are going to find Pikachu, to which Mirror Clemont laughs to himself.

The two Ash order their Hawlucha to use Karate Chop on Pumpkaboo and Inkay, but as Ash's Hawlucha charges in forcefully and hits Inkay, Mirror Ash's Hawlucha jogs slowly and worried, missing Pumpkaboo as it is tackled by it.

Trivia
- Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster: Noivern
- For the TV Tokyo airing, instead of the Pokémon Holo Caster segment, a quiz of the released Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction was shown with the exclusive 3DS viewers can win.
- The regular opening sequence is replaced with clips from Pokémon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction. Although this is a standard practice with some Japanese shows when a tie-in movie is released, this marks the first time it has occurred in the anime.
- The next episode preview is narrated by Clemont, Ash, Serena, and Bonnie.
- This preview is a parody of radio dramas. Unlike most previews narrated by several characters, Clemont is the only one actually reciting a synopsis, while Ash, Bonnie and Serena provide reactions according to his narration. Also, just like in Seeking Shelter From the Storm!, no background music plays during the preview.
- It is never revealed how Team Rocket ended up in the Mirror World, or how they later escaped as Mirror Clemont stated that people from another world cannot return to their own world after sunset.
- Ash's Hawlucha's Karate Chop was animated differently in this episode, making it look more similar to Wing Attack, and resumed its usual appearance in subsequent episodes. The reason for this is unknown.
- The Mirror Serena's Fennekin in the Mirror World knows the Move Scratch, a move that the real Serena's Fennekin has never used until the next episode.
Errors
- After Team Rocket captures Mirror Ash's Pikachu, Wobbuffet is heard before the sound of its Poké Ball opening.
- When Ash jumps into his dimension, Mirror Ash's Pikachu disappears, but when regular Ash gets to his dimension, Mirror Pikachu reappears on Mirror Ash's shoulder.
- Also, at the same time his Pikachu disappears, Serena is to the right of Mirror Ash, but a few seconds later, Serena is to the left of him.
Mirror Pikachu, missing
Mirror Pikachu, reappearing
Dub edits
- For an unknown reason, the title card lacks the characters' shadows in the Polish dub.
- For unknown reasons, the title card segment was skipped in the Hindi dub.
