Ash and Froakie are training, what amounts to Froakie slapping a waterfall with it's paw. It's more training for his upcoming Gym battle with Korrina. While they all marvel at how faster Froakie has become a log chugs right off the cliff and heads down to kill Pikachu. Before Pikachu dies a horrible death, Froakie leaps up and slices the log in half... which technically would make it twice as dangerous but fortunately the two halves fall harmlessly into the water. Apparently it was Cut, Froakie learned how to use it immediately in the moment of trying to save Pikachu.
This then reminds Ash of the time Froakie jumped in to save Pikachu from Team Rocket when he first met, establishing a history of the little bubble Frog saving Pikachu's life. Clemont suggests that a Double Battle might be an interesting way to train Froakie, and thus he will begin...
Away from the falls Clemont gets ready to releases his first Pokémon... and out pops Chespin. Well, since Clemont only has two Pokémon his next one is then Bunnelby. So since Ash has to team Froakie up with a +1, he chooses THE CHAMPION OF THIS FOREST, THAT FOREST AND EVERY FOREST IN BETWEEN, THE POKéBEAST INCARNATE, HAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWLLLLLLUUUUUUUCCCCCCCHHHHHHAAAAAA!!!!
After he tells Hawlucha he's tagging with Froakie, he offers Respek Knuckles, Froakie however doesn't seem to respek, or even respect Hawlucha and looks back at Ash for confirmation, and limp wristedly bumps it's fists back, and thus starts the Double Battle. Clemont sends in Chespin with Tackle, and Bunnelby with Double Slap, and Ash tells his team to dodge, Froakie does so by leaping into the air, but Hawlucha instead takes Bunnelby's attack to the chest.
Ash figures he must be testing his opponent again, but Froakie has no idea what it thinks it's pulling. Ash then calls for a Bubble from Froakie and Karate Chop from Hawlucha, but Chespin blocks with Vine Whip, as Bunnelby and Hawlucha appear to be in a bit of a tie, until Hawlucha punches the little Bunny right in it's face.
Serena and Bonnie are excited, and happily proclaim that this is the dramatic type of battle Hawlucha likes, because he know how to work a crowd and get over, but Froakie cares not for Hawlucha fake wrestling battling style.
Bunnelby scores another slap, and goes for Mud Shot, but before it can get it's attack off is stopped by Water Pulse. This, pisses off Hawlucha, Froakie is stealing it's heat, and he ain't going for that. While the two argue, Chespin fires a Pin Missile that follows Froakie until blasting Bunnelby right in the face, and knocking it out.
This only makes Hawlucha madder because Bunnelby was it's to take down, but Froakie dismissively croaks it's name at Hawlucha, making it even madder, until it hits it with a Hi Jump Kick, and Froakie come back with Cut. The twerps are horrified, and Ash gets in the middle of their fight.
This calms them down for a second until they start talking shit again. Ash being a savant on the ways of Pokémon, and not humans steps up and puts his foot down and declares that he's going to give them a Special Trainin' ™ session just for them.
Ash states that he's going to have them cover each others strong and weak points. Hawlucha give an "I trust you, Booker man" blub and tries to shake Froakie's paw, but he just turns it away. Ash then tells them what's what, and he's going to have them do a special combo move, but not the kind of combo move Serena wants to do with Ash. It's going to combine Flying Press with Cut.
We see crude drawings of how it's supposed to work, Froakie's going to ride on Hawlucha, then it'll jump off first and hit with Cut and Hawlucha will smack the enemy Pokémon with Flying Press. ...I guess it makes sense, and it's called the Super Flying Cut.
Meanwhile the other twerps are settling in to eat, and as Serena prepares to serve the Pokémon the Poképuffs, they're gone. None of the Pokémon fess up to stealing them, but Serena gets smug as fuck because she put in Super Spicy Poképuffs just for Fennekin, and it causes Chespin to learn Flamethrower. It's Chespin yet again, having learned nothing from the time he spent overweight at some old perverted couple's den of inequity.
Back to Ash and the Amazin' Flying Cut Bros... and they still can't get it to work. Apparently having a frog jump on a bird's back that admittedly cannot fly to well on it's own isn't the great plan Ash had hoped it'd be in his 3rd grade art class imagination, and it's doing nothing but getting the two worked up even more than they already were.
They both get hungry at the same time, and Ash offers them Oran Berries, as they try again something spies Ash from behind, and grabs him with what looks like a Vine Whip, at least we can only hope.
They chase after the thing that's kidnapped Ash, until tree roots spring from the ground, and more vines take hold of Pikachu, but before this can turn into one of those anime, Pikachu is freed by Fennekin's Scratch.
Ash gets let go of and looks around to see who picked him up, and at first he sees nothing but trees, and then he sees his captor hiding in the shadows. It's a hideous cyclops tree monster, and it's knocks out Ash with... balls? Either way Ash is out, and judging from those vines, I don't think Ash wants to wake up.
Hawlucha and Froakie have apparently caught up to the tree monster as it takes it's new sex slave to the sex dungeon, but before the can tail it too far, they get caught in more vine traps.
Serena is worried, mostly because she wanted to be the first to carry Ash to a sex dungeon, but Clemont is reminded of a legend he heard of a Pokémon that captures people who hurt the forest... AND EATS THEM. Which may be worse because if Ash is eaten, then they're all unemployed.
With their livelihoods at stake Pikachu becomes part Bloodhound and picks up Ash's scent, and the rest hurry behind him.
The Who's That Pokémon spoils the Pokémon's name before they explain in the episode what it is, which is a thing that personally bugs me - but what can you do. I felt I just get that out of the way.
Anyway, Froakie and Hawlucha come to and immediately go back to hating each other. Froakie tries to jostle itself free, and Hawlucha takes note and tries as well, until they both just bump into each other. They argue more until their vines come loose and they fall to the ground... where the argue more, squawking their names at each other until Hawlucha notices some debris on the ground. It's Ash's hat! Froakie and Hawlucha call truce and put aside their differences as they head off to find their trainer.
Also, Hawlucha wears Ash's hat and looks like a total badass.
Ash comes back around and asks Who's that Pokémon. "Trevenant, the Elder Tree Pokémon, A Ghost and Grass type, Trevenant is able to control trees. It traps those who cause harm to the forest and never lets them escape."
If by "never escape" it means "kills and eats".
Ash pleads his case to the Ghost Tree, he'd never harm the forest, but Trevenant doesn't seem to care what Ash has to say, as it continues to march on it's weird root-like insectoid legs.
Hawlucha and Froakie cut it off, posing like the baddest of asses, as Ash confirms that the move that put him to sleep earlier was Confuse Ray, because Confuse Ray now puts you to sleep? Well, Ash is already confused, so I guess his body didn't know what to do.
Froakie gets Trevenant right in the eye with it's sticky white frubbles - well, that's going to sting - as Hawlucha leaps up and goes for a Hi Jump Kick... and phases right through it, like it was a ghost or something. Ash reveals that Trevenant is a Ghost-Type or something, and a Fighting-type move won't work on it.
Trevenant goes in for a kill shot against Hawlucha, but Ash gets Froakie to help by using Bubble, stopping Trevenant and getting Ash free at the same time. When Ash gets his hat back, he decides this is as good a time as any to test out all that Trainin', and in a peculiar case of dumb not two minutes after telling Hawlucha about Fighting-type moves not working on Trevenant calls for the Super Flying Cut - a move that consists of a Fighting-type move and a Normal-type move, making it double non-effective.
Oh, Ash.
Froakie still hasn't gotten the hang of leaping onto Hawlucha's back, and as it struggles... Hawlucha phases through again harmlessly, leaving Froakie to smack directly on it's face... Trevenant's face, and Froakie's back that is.
Trevenant prepares a Will-O-Wisp but they don't dodge in time. Trevenant shoots a second one, and Ash blocks them and takes the Will-O-Wisp. Despite the fact that Trevenant would probably murder him in a fight, Ash decides to protect his Pokémon from a Pokémon battle, as he steps in between them.
Trevenant relents, and with it's guard down Ash asks it's what the hell's up, and it asks them to follow it, and he does.
Well, why drag your food to it's death if it willingly marches towards it.
But turns out Trevenant doesn't want to kill Ash... yet, it needs help rescuing it's friends - a Sudowoodo and a Bonsly - from an electrified net they're trapped in. Ash, ever the Action Hero scales the tree, and grabs onto the net... to be shocked, and learn that's it's electrified.
The rest of the twerps show up just in time before Ash does something stupid - like try to grab an electrified net, and he has Pikachu free them with Iron Tail. Looks like our story ends with a happy ending, until another net captures Pikachu. Ash, never to be confused with the smart twerp asks "WHO DID THAT", looking directly at "who did that."
"Prepare for trouble, if you don't know by now"
"And make it double, we'll tell you anyhow"
"To protect the world from devastation"
"To unite all people within our nation"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love"
"To extend our reach to the stars above"
"Jesse"
"and James"
"Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light"
"Surrender now or prepare for a forest fight"
"MEOWTH, THAT'S RIGHT!"
"WOBBBUEEEEFFEEEETTT!"
James says this this is all part of their new patent pending rare Pokémon stealing strategy. It's an electric proof net. You know, you'd think by now the twerps, or at least Ash or especially at least Pikachu would have realized that Team Rocket had at least that Team Rocket has electric-proof most of their stuff, and Pikachu could save his electricity.
Team Rocket send out Pumpkaboo and Inkay, of course, and attack with Shadow Ball, ash has Froakie and Hawlucha dodge, and use Froakie's Frubble to blind Pumpkaboo, and Ash seemingly having learned nothing from the Ghost-type/Fighting-type effectiveness thing tell Hawlucha to use Flying Press which of course fails, but Ash has Froakie hit it instead with Water Pulse, apparently this was all apart of some weirdly circuitous plan Ash had to catch Pumpkaboo off guard, even though it was pretty off guard with a face full of Frubbles anyway. Froakie and Hawlucha still don't quite seem to be getting along.
James sends in Inkay with a Tackle, as Hawlucha takes flight, and Froakie clearly in plain sight, visible to anyone with working eyes (no offense to those of you without working eyes reading this right now) jumps on it's back. James has Inkay use Psybeam instead to hit... only Froakie, and shred the Bubble Frog into a thousand pieces.
Except, according to Clemont that wasn't Froakie, instead it was... a fake clone Froakie made from Frubbles... when would he have had time to do this, especially with everyone watching?
Hell if I know, but this also leaves sticky white substance all over Hawlucha's back.
Ash declares it's time for "Super Flying Cut" as Froakie comes from nowhere with Cut, and Hawlucha bashes Inkay into the ground.
Meowth knows when they're licked, but before he can officially call a retreat, he gets the call to star in his own naughty, DVD only anime flick... no, wait, that's just Trevenant again. It knocks a remote out of Meowth's hand and destroys it with it's Wood Hammer.
With a name like that I'm glad Trevenant turned out to not be from one of those anime... at least that we know of.
Anyway, the simple act of destroying the remote releases Pikachu from it's net and into Trevanant's waiting arm-branch-thing. Well, with team Rocket soundly outnumbered and outmatched they harmlessly tip-toe away with their tails between their legs, until next time. Ash however can't really determine that they're beaten and has Pikachu use Thunderbolt on them... th... that was kind of a dick move, Ash. They were already broken and beaten and leaving. Clearly you didn't read the Cartoon Network graphic about not bullying.
The other twerps cheer this depraved overuse of power, as Hawlucha and Froakie finally Respek Knuckles, properly, and Hawlucha preens to the crowd.
Ash talks up their team work, telling them that if they keep it up even they can become Tag Team Champions.

: Wow, he thinks.
