Poketto monsutâ - Season 17 Episode 12

On the road to Shoyo City, our heroes are forced to leap out of the way when a truck barrels down on them, with Officer Junsa in close pursuit. When the dust clears, Satoshi and friends spot a cage that fell off the truck, and a weary Kofukimushi that crawls out and collapses. They scoop it up and take it to the nearest Pokémon Center, where Officer Junsa finds them–and tries to arrest Satoshi for being an accomplice in stealing the Kofukimushi. The misunderstanding is quickly sorted out. Officer Junsa explains that she's on the trail of Daz, a Pokémon smuggler who specializes in Kofukimushi, Kofuurai, and Viviyon. Because Viviyon can have wings of many different colors and patterns based on their native habitat, they're highly prized by collectors. When the Kofukimushi they rescued evolves into Kofuurai, Citron notices something in its fur–a transmitter, attached by the smuggler so he can keep track of his "merchandise." They develop a plan: one of them will wear the transmitter, plus a Kofuurai disguise (provided by costume designer Serena) and act as bait, then Citron will use one of his inventions to track the transmitter to Daz's secret hideout. Citron's Harimaron is the closest to Kofuurai's size, so it gets the job. Satoshi, Serena, Citron, and Eureka put the disguised Harimaron in the cage and leave it for Daz to find, while they and Officer Junsa hide nearby. Daz arrives to claim his lost treasure, and unwittingly leads our heroes to the cave where he's keeping all the Pokémon he's nabbed. He catches our heroes poking around and attacks with his Horudo. Satoshi's Keromatsu battles back–and then Kofuurai leaps into the fray, evolves into a beautiful purple Viviyon, and uses its calming powers to take the fight right out of Daz. Officer Junsa arrests him, and our heroes free all the captured Kofuurai…who evolve all at once, into Viviyon of many different patterns. They take to the sky in an amazing rainbow of colors, and our heroes' journey continues.
