This is a list of episodes in Pokémon: Advanced, the sixth season of the Pokémon animated series (ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā?, Pocket Monsters), covering the Hoenn Region where the protagonist Ash Ketchum went on to further adventures and meets new friends along the way to the Hoenn League. In Japan, this began the Pocket Monsters: Advanced Generation (ポケットモンスター アドバンスジェネレーション Poketto Monsutā Adobansu Jenerēshon?) series. Misty and Brock leave Ash's side. Ash meets a new friend named May, who participates in contests, and her brother Max. Brock returns and the four travel together through the Hoenn region.

Get the Show on the Road!

 * [First lines. The episode opens in a woodland, but the camera cuts to a bicycle wheel spinning. We then see a girl in red riding the bicycle]
 * May: Woo hoo! Yeah! (voiceover) Hi, my name's May and I'm 10 years old. I'm on my way to meet my dad's friend, Professor Birch, and to get my beginner's Pokémon. Then I can begin my journey as a Pokémon trainer, but just between you and me, what I'm more interested in is travelling and seeing new places. Mmmm, there it is. Littleroot Town up ahead.
 * [Then, a Duskull appears beside her]
 * Duskull: Duskull.
 * May: [screams as she goes down a hill and crashes into a tree] I guess I... shoulda worn a... helmet. (Falls down) Ow.
 * Duskull: Duskull. (Flies off)
 * [Soon, May is riding her bike up a hill]
 * May: The truth is, I don't like Pokémon. (Cycles out of the woodland and stops on the top of a rocky landscape) Oh, wow.
 * [The camera reveals that she is watching a boat which is arriving at the docks in Littleroot Town]
 * May: But for travelling, I just love it.

A Ruin with a View

 * [After Azurill breaks free from May's Poke Ball]
 * May: Hey! What gives?!
 * Ash: Well, you're not going to catch anything that way.
 * May: Why not? I threw an empty Poke Ball at it, didn't I?!
 * Ash: First, you have to battle the Pokemon and weaken it, then you throw your Pokeball.

There's No Place Like Hoenn

 * May: Torchic, use Amber!
 * Torchic: [confused] Tor?
 * Max: You mean Ember.
 * May: Oops, I mean Ember!

You Never Can Taillow

 * [Ash, Max and May are having lunch, only to realize they don't have any food]
 * Ash: You mean...
 * Max: There's...
 * May: No lunch?!
 * [in Ash's backpack, Pikachu finds his empty can of Pokémon food]
 * May: You're one professional traveler, Ash. I'm surprised you'd forget something like our food.
 * Max: She has a point.
 * Ash: [shocked] All right, guess I messed up.

In the Knicker of Time

 * May: [referring to Nicholai] Ahh! That Zigzagoon disguised itself as a human!
 * Max: Would you like to take another whack at that, sis; that really is a human!!
 * May: I didn't know Zigzagoon could evolve into humans.
 * Max: [exasperated] Are we really related?!


 * James: Surrender now with your exposed knees or prepare to fight!

A Tail with a Twist

 * Max: I don't think it's about the food.
 * Brock: You're right. Treecko are tree climber Pokémon. Plus, they're pretty shy so it's more comfortable up there.


 * James: Poor Seviper!
 * Meowth: It knows not what it's done!


 * Everyone: Who's that Pokémon? It's Gligar!

Taming of the Shroomish

 * May: [breathes in] Ahhh! That smells great!
 * Max: What smells great? The air pollution, garbage, or the car exhaust?


 * Jessie: I think there's a fungus!
 * James: And they're among us!

You Said a Mouthful!

 * [after Taillow and Treecko lost to Pelliper]
 * Max: NO! Not Fire attacks too?
 * Brock: That Pelipper is full of surprises, huh!
 * May: Um, Max, I thought that you said that Pelipper can only use Flying and Water attacks, Sounds like you need to study a little more!
 * Max: That's all it CAN use. I don't get it, What's the deal with this Pelipper, this is NOT supposed to be happening?

A Bite to Remember

 * Katrina: Poochyena! What kind of behaviour is that, huh? Now no more tackling or you'll get a time-out!


 * May: Don't do it, Ash! He's gonna make them lose on purpose so that Poochyena will evolve, aren't you?


 * James: We'll reset with the controls for something else!
 * Meowth: One! Two! Three! Four! Five! [dressed as a Sunflora] Sun! Sun! Sun! Sun!
 * Max: Aah! Persian evolved into a Sunflora? But that's not possible!
 * Jessie: Oh, sure. That's what everybody told Albert Einstein before he invented the light bulb. I guess he showed them what's not possible didn't he?
 * Max: Edison invented the light bulb!
 * Jessie: He certainly did.

All Things Bright and Beautifly!

 * Jessie: Do this right Seviper, now go use Sacred Fire!
 * [Seviper does nothing.]
 * Meowth: Uh-oh...
 * James: I'm not sure Seviper knows how to use that attack...
 * Jessie: Well, come on! Use Sacred Fire! What are you waiting for?
 * [Seviper starts sweating and shakes its head fast, as if to say, "I don't know that move!"]
 * Jessie: You don't know it? Alright, use Water Pulse! [Seviper shakes its head again as if to say, "I don't know that move either!"] Then use Blaze Kick! [Seviper shakes its head more faster, sweating even more. You could guess where this is going.]
 * James: Awkward...
 * Meowth: I guess that Seviper ain't learned new attacks.
 * Wobbuffet: Wobbu! [No duh!]
 * Jessie: [horrified] What?! [starts looking at a book to look up moves Seviper can learn. As she lists the moves, Seviper starts gushing a waterfall of sweat, knowing that it does not know any of the moves mentioned] Ok, let me see here. You know Dragon Claw? What about Psywave? Luster Purge? AAAAHHHH!! Would somebody please wake me up from this terrible nightmare?!
 * Male audience member: [as the crowd starts booing] You're a waste of our time and money!
 * Female audience member: Why did she even enter?!


 * [After Jessie receives a score of zero for that epic disaster of a performance, the heroes stare in disbelief]
 * May: How could anyone be that bad?
 * Max: No joke.

All in a Day's Wurmple

 * Team Rocket: Prepare for trouble now that we are united! Make it double because you weren't invited!
 * May: Hey! Look, there's Wurmple! Wait! Here I come!
 * Jessie: How dare you run off when we weren't completely finished!
 * James: I'll have you know that we pour our hearts and souls into that motto and every time we....
 * Meowth: Save it, James. Let's just go grab that Wurmple before shes does!
 * Team Rocket: Good idea!


 * May: [jumps up] Yeah! We did it! Alright!


 * Team Rocket: Team Rocket's blasting off again!
 * ''[as they see the sun in the evening sky]
 * Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet!

Gonna Rule the School!

 * Greg: Go, Sneasel!

The Winner by a Nosepass

 * [May reveals to Roxanne that she wants to be a Coordinator rather than a trainer]
 * Roxanne: So, you've decided to become a Pokémon Coordinator instead, May?
 * May: Yes.
 * Roxanne: Well, people choose different ways of interacting with Pokémon. Good luck with your choice.
 * May: Thank you, Roxanne.


 * One of Roxanne's students: Teacher, everything's ready. [one is refereeing the match, while the other students have assembled the camera equipment for recording the battle]
 * Roxanne: Alright, thanks!
 * Brock: Wow, they call you teacher?
 * Roxanne: Yes. You see, they're all students from the Trainer's school, Brock. They come here to work in the gym as interns and in the process of assisting me, they also gain valuable experience as trainers.
 * Max: Cool.
 * Roxanne: Say, Ash? Mind if I made a video tape of our battle?
 * Ash: Uhhh...no.
 * Roxanne: Thanks. I like to use the videos in class. I've found that if trainers were able to watch and study actual gym battles, it's a great way to learn.


 * [With Treecko defeated, Ash selects Pikachu]
 * One of Roxanne's students: Uhhh...Pikachu?
 * Roxanne: You really wanted to challenge using an Electric Pokémon in a Rock Gym? You might want to rethink that one!

On a Wingull and a Prayer

 * [The Team Aqua Grunt and his Crawdaunt are in his speedboat, speeding away from Mr. Briney]
 * Team Aqua Grunt: Okay, we're close to the rendezvous point.
 * Crawdaunt: Crawdaunt!
 * Team Aqua Grunt: Crawdaunt, what? Huh? (Looks back to see that the S.S. Wingull, Mr. Briney's high tech boat, is pursing them) Where'd that boat come from?
 * Mr Briney: Team Aqua! Give Peeko back to me now! The oceans tie the world together! You will never get away from me!
 * Team Aqua Grunt: Heh! Oh please! Spare me the dramatics!
 * Max: (from inside the S.S. Wingull) He's picking up speed!
 * Mr Briney: And heading straight for Triangle Rock!
 * Brock: I'll bet that's where he's gonna meet up with the rest of his team members.
 * Ash: You're right. C'mon, Pikachu.
 * Pikachu: Pika. (He leaves with Ash)
 * Brock: Huh?
 * May: Wait!
 * [Ash and Pikachu climb onto the roof of the S.S. Wingull]
 * Ash: Okay, Crawdaunt's a water Pokémon, so let's fight it by using Lightning.
 * Pikachu: Pikaaaaaaa... (Charges up electricity)
 * [The camera cuts to the Team Aqua Grunt]
 * Team Aqua Grunt: (to Crawdaunt) Water Pulse!
 * Crawdaunt: Crawdaunt! (Uses Water Pulse on the S.S. Wingull, sending it flying)
 * Ash: Warrgghh!
 * Team Aqua Grunt: Follow up with Bubble Beam!
 * Crawdaunt: Crawdaunt! (Uses Bubble Beam and it sends a huge wave over the S.S. Wingull)
 * [Then, Ash and Pikachu see Triangle Rock in the distance]
 * Ash: Oh! They're almost at Triangle Rock!

Sharpedo Attack!

 * Jessie: Prepare for trouble, or you'll walk the plank!
 * James: Make it double, or your boat will sink!
 * Jessie: That doesn't rhyme!
 * Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!
 * James: To unite all peoples within our nation!
 * Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
 * James: To extend our reach to the stars above!
 * Jessie: Jessie!
 * James: James!
 * Jessie: Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!
 * James: Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight!
 * Meowth: Meowth, that's right!


 * James: [referring to the Sharpedo] Is it possible they're all smiling at us?
 * Meowth: Well, if they are smilin' it's probably because they're lookin' at the next meal they're gonna devour!


 * James: So how come you didn't see the Sharpedo coming!
 * Seviper: Seviper!


 * All: Who's that Pokémon? It's Igglybuff!
 * Igglybuff: Iggly!

Brave the Wave

 * Ash: [quoting Brawly] Totally gnarly with some really wicked wavage?
 * Max: Anyone here speak that language?


 * Brawly: Hey! Who are you, crazy dudes anyway?!
 * Jessie: Prepare for trouble all you dudes and dudettes!
 * James: Make it double...
 * Meowth: Enough! You already got that part out!

Which Wurmple is Which?

 * May: Well my Wurmple is a lot smarter than yours.
 * Jessie: My Wurmple's attending night school to get its PhD!

A Hole Lotta Trouble

 * May: Wow, this cave seems to go on forever...
 * Max: Yeah, kinda like you do sometimes...


 * May: And you were calling me the heavy one.
 * Jessie: I heard that! Don't just sit there, push me!
 * May: Good grief! [pulls Jessie by the legs]
 * Jessie: I said push, don't pull me!


 * James: Hey! What do you want?! And quit staring at me like that! [starts knuckling Aron on the head] You're not scaring anyone with that head armour!
 * Brock: JAMES, KNOCK IT OFF!


 * James: Jessie's an idiot! Meowth's a loser! I don't need them!!!


 * [while being chased by Aron]
 * James: I don't deserve this!
 * Ash and Brock: Yes you do!
 * James: We'll discuss it later!

Gone Corphishin'

 * Brock: Oh, no! I don't believe it!
 * Jessie: Prepare for trouble from the depths of the earth!
 * James: And make it double for all the trouble it's worth!
 * Max: And they still insist on doing their motto?
 * May: Pretty pathetic, isn't it?
 * Team Rocket: The shame.

A Corphish out of Water

 * [Ash, Pikachu and Corphish are asleep on the same bed]
 * Ash: Yeah... Go Corphish. Crabhammer now...
 * Corphish: [bonks its owner] Phish... Cor.
 * Ash: Great. Good job Corphish. That was... super effective...

A Mudkip Mission

 * Swampy: What?! Me?! A monster?!
 * Ash: A talking monster!
 * Max: Yoo-hoo! It's a person!


 * Old Man Swamp: Why just call me "Swampy", or "Old Man Swamp"!
 * Ash: Old Man Swamp. Been in these parts a long time, have you, Swampy? Old Man Swamp.
 * Old Man Swamp: Hey kid, you don't know me that well.

<hr width=50%/>
 * Old Man Swamp: What's this? My can!

Turning Over a Nuzleaf

 * Jessie: We'll just take Pikachu and the Nuzleaf and be on our way!

A Three Team Scheme

Seeing is Believing

 * Birch: What's up with Lotad?
 * Brock: That Lotad, it's kind of a daydreamer, Professor.

<hr width=50%/>
 * May: Brock, is the Professor really playing with all the Pokémon he's studying?
 * Brock: It's his way of talking to the Pokémon at their own level.

<hr width=50%/>
 * [Jessie's Dustox is covered by a sheet while Meowth feebly imitates a Beautifly in costume]
 * Jessie: Meowth! Do ya mind telling me what you're doing?!
 * Meowth: I'm a Beau-ti-fly, I ain't never heard a' Meowth!
 * Jessie: Uncover that thing right now!
 * James: It was all Meowth's idea!

<hr width=50%/>
 * Jessie: I didn't get a Beautifly. I got a Dustox.
 * Prof. Birch: Yes! Your Pokémon was a Cascoon, so the only thing that could've evolved into was a Dustox!

Ready, Willing and Sableye

 * Brock: HEY, CORPHISH, KNOCK IT OFF!

Just One of the Geysers

 * All: Huh?

 * Jessie: To protect the world from devonstation!
 * James: To unite all peoples within our nation!
 * Jessie: To denounce the evils of a yummy pear!
 * James: To extend out reach to a chocolate éclair!
 * Jessie: Jessie!
 * James: James!

Now That's Flower Power!

 * Drew: Please, no comparison. You see, you and your Pokémon here, you've got no style.
 * May: HEY! YOU CAN MAKE FUN OF ME ALL YOU WANT, BUT DON'T YOU DARE MAKE FUN OF MY POKÉMON!

Having a Wailord of a Time

 * Ash: [thinking] Keep stalling her, Max. Don't let May come in here.

<hr width=50%>
 * May: SOMETHING'S UP. You're acting weird.
 * Max: What do you mean by weird?
 * May: DID SOMETHING HAPPEN TO MY TORCHIC, MAX?! TELL ME RIGHT NOW! COME ON, OUT WITH IT!

<hr width=50%>
 * Ash: Uh... Hi, May.
 * May: Torchic, I found you.
 * [May turns her attention to Ash]
 * May: YOU BETTER TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON HERE, ASH KETCHUM!
 * Max: Sorry Ash, she got away from me.

Win, Lose or Drew!

 * May: That Drew! Thinks he's so great!

The Spheal of Approval

 * May: I must be in heaven!
 * Brock: No, you're just at the mall.

A Different Kind of Misty!

 * Jessie: We can do this the easy way or the hard way.
 * Alyssa: How about no way. Magnemite, Thunderbolt!
 * Magnemite: Magnemite!
 * Alyssa: It didn't work.
 * Magnemite: Magnemite.
 * Jessie: You're wasting your wattage.
 * James: We've shielded ourselves from all electrical hijynx!
 * Meowth: Now, let's have it show our hand!
 * Magnemite: Magnemite!
 * Team Rocket: While we stay at arm's length!
 * Alyssa: Magnemite!
 * Pikachu: Pika!
 * Thatcher: Oh no!

 * Jessie: We got Pikachu and Whismur!

<hr width=50%/>
 * Ash: [smugly] I can figure this maze out with my eyes closed! [immediately runs into a dead end]
 * May: [deadpan] Maybe you should try it with your mouth closed.

Watt's With Wattson?

 * [At the Mauville Gym, Ash's battle against Wattson is about to begin. Wattson's assistant, Watt, is explaining the rules]
 * Watt: And now, the Mauville Gym battle will begin. Each Trainer will use three Pokémon. The battle ends when all three of either Trainer's Pokémon are unable to continue.
 * Wattson: I'll be battling with Voltorb, Magnemite and Magneton. I've been working with these three for a great number of years.
 * [The camera cuts to Brock, May and Max who are watching the battle]
 * Max: So the Mauville Gym is an Electric Pokémon Gym.
 * Brock: It's kind of surprising he would reveal what Pokémon he'll be using.
 * May: Yeah, that's confidence.
 * Max: I wonder what Pokémon Ash is gonna use first. Hey, Treecko's strong against Electric Pokémon. That would work!
 * May: Hmm, but a Water Pokémon like Corphish wouldn't work.
 * Brock: Right, I'll bet Taillow would do okay. (Folds his arms) Heh, even though Taillow's a Flying-type Pokémon, I still think it'd be a pretty good matchup.
 * Pikachu: Pika. (Jumps onto the battlefield)
 * Ash: You're ready to go, huh?
 * Pikachu: Pika!
 * Ash: Alright then, I choose you!
 * Pikachu: Pika! (Powers up electricity with his cheeks)
 * May: He's starting with Pikachu. Wow!
 * Brock: I get it. Ash is gonna jump right into this battle head-on.
 * Wattson: (Laughs) Great! Super! Like I said, you've got spunk starting with an Electric Pokémon. You asked for this. Here we go, use Swift, Magnemite!
 * Wattson's Magnemite: Magnemite. (Uses Swift) Magnemite.
 * Ash: Okay, dodge and use Thunderbolt!
 * Wattson: (Laughs) Electric attacks are useless against my Pokémon, Ash!
 * [Pikachu dodges the stars from Magnemite's Swift attack]
 * Pikachu: Pika... (Uses Thunderbolt on Magnemite) CHUUUUUU!
 * Magnemite: Magnemite! Magnemite. (Faints)
 * Wattson: What!? But how?
 * Watt: Ah! What? Ugh! Magnemite cannot battle, Pikachu wins.
 * Ash: Yes! Good job, Pikachu!
 * Pikachu: Pika pika!
 * Max: Man, he beat Magnemite with one attack.
 * May: Unbelievable!
 * Brock: What's unbelievable is how powerful that Thunderbolt attack was.
 * Wattson: (Laughs) I guess for every rule, there's an exception. Now, Voltorb, use Screech!
 * Wattson's Voltorb: Voltorb. (Uses Screech)
 * Ash: Pikachu, Thunderbolt one more time.
 * Pikachu: Pika... (Uses Thunderbolt on Voltorb) CHUUUUUU!
 * Wattson's Voltorb: Voltorb. (Faints) Voltorb, Volt.
 * Wattson: Not again! Winning twice in a row with one attack!?
 * Watt: Voltorb's unable to battle. Pikachu wins!
 * Wattson: Now, Magneton, a real Electric attack! Zap Cannon!
 * Wattson's Magneton: Magneton! (Uses Zap Cannon)
 * Ash: Alright, use Thunder!
 * Pikachu: Pika... (Uses Thunder on Magneton) CHUUUUUUUUUUU!
 * [Pikachu's Thunder attack hits Magneton]
 * Wattson's Magneton: Magneton! Magne... (Faints) ...ton.
 * Wattson: Impossible!
 * Watt: There's no way. Magneton is unable to battle, Pikachu's the winner! This match goes to Ash from Pallet Town.
 * Ash: Great job, Pikachu.
 * Pikachu: Pika pika!
 * May: Oh, a clean sweep for Pikachu!
 * Max: With only one attack each time.
 * Brock: Wow, I've never seen Pikachu look better!
 * [Wattson is feeling speechless. He walks over to Ash]
 * Wattson: Ash, powerful stuff. (Shows Ash the Dynamo Badge in his left hand) Take this, the Dynamo Badge.
 * Ash: Thanks, Mr. Wattson. (Takes the Dynamo Badge)
 * Wattson: Sure, you beat me, Ash, but good. (Walks away)
 * Watt: You know, boss...
 * Ash: (off camera) Pikachu, what's wrong?
 * Watt: Huh?
 * [Ash and his friends are attending to Pikachu who is now feeling unwell]
 * Ash: Hey, buddy, you don't look so good.
 * Pikachu: (weakly) Pika.
 * Ash: Ah! Oh, no! You're burnin' up!
