An Undersea Place to Call Home! (Japanese: 海底の城！クズモーとドラミドロ！！ The Undersea Castle! Kuzumo and Dramidoro!!) is the 24th episode of the XY series, and the 823rd episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on November 20, 2014.

This episode was originally scheduled to air in Japan on April 24, 2014, but was postponed due to the sinking of the MV Sewol ferry in South Korea that took place on April 16, 2014; due to this, it was also subsequently skipped in the English-language broadcasts. It made its world debut in South Korea on August 8, 2014, and it finally aired in Japan on November 20, 2014, between XY050 and XY051.

Trivia

File:Title Card XY Ash.png

The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode

• Mairin's Mega Evolution Journal: Mega Gallade
• This episode is unique among skipped and banned episodes as it had a known English dub title during the period in which it was banned. The title was posted on the Turner Broadcasting press site, but was then pulled off the next day and replaced with Climbing the Walls!.
• This episode is the first non-special episode to make its world debut airing outside of Japan, as well as the only episode overall to make its world debut outside Japan or the United States.
• Coincidentally, the original 24th episode of the BW series was also skipped, but was not aired anywhere in the world.
• Unlike A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!, another delayed episode, this episode was not re-edited to fit into continuity, with Ash's Fletchinder's appearance as a Fletchling and references to Ash's upcoming battle with Grant.
  • Despite this, Mega V (Volt) and DreamDream replace V (Volt) and X Strait Y Scenery as the episode's opening and ending themes, respectively.
• This was the last episode to air before the release of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Errors

• During the fishing scene, Bonnie's hair on her hairpin is missing.
• When Serena is watching Qwilfish on the submarine, Qwilfish's bellies are completely dark blue.
• In one scene, Lindsay's lower body is missing.
