Bonnie for the Defense! (Japanese: 出動ラプラス防衛隊！ユリーカがんばる！！ Dispatch the Laplace Protection Team! Do Your Best, Eureka!!) is the 49th episode of the XY series, and the 848th episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on October 30, 2014 and in the United States on December 20, 2014.
Blurb
While Ash and Serena do some special training and Clemont works on his inventions, Bonnie explores the forest, where she meets a trio of kids who call themselves the Lapras Defense Force. They show Bonnie to their hideout and introduce her to their friend Lapras, who is recovering from an injury and seems to be running a fever. The three of them really don't trust grown-ups, but when Ash, Serena, and Clemont come looking for Bonnie, the kids reluctantly agree to let Nurse Joy make a house call to their hideout.
After some medical attention, Lapras is feeling much better, but it keeps looking out toward the water and crying. Clemont figures out that it misses its ocean home, and the kids decide to take it back there. Despite a boulder blocking the way and a run-in with Team Rocket, Lapras is soon reunited with its family.
Bonnie bids farewell to her new friends, and our heroes resume their trek to Coumarine City!

Trivia
Errors
- When Clemont is releasing Chespin and Luxio to the action, the pupils in Luxio's eyes are colored black instead of yellow.
- When the Lapras friends use their Ice Beam attack on Team Rocket, the grip engine on the Magikarp submarine is missing.
Dub edits
- The title card segment focuses on, and is read by, Ash in the dub instead of Bonnie.
- In the dub, the kids start crying because Ash comments that "Lapras is going downhill fast", then Clemont says that he would rather not think about it. In the original version, Ash explicitly says that if they leave Lapras there, they will "let it die", and Clemont adds that it may be a possibility in the worst case scenario.
