Pokémon (1997)

S11E21 Crossing Paths

Title: Unexpected Encounters Plot: Ash and his friends reach a Pokémon Center situated by a serene lake. Jessie's Dustox spots a rare shiny Dustox and eagerly pursues it to the water's edge. In a heartfelt moment, Jessie decides to let her Dustox go, permitting it to mate. This scene echoes back to Season 1, episode 21, "Bye Bye Butterfree," where Ash sets his Butterfree free to join a pink Butterfree for a similar purpose.
