Episode Title:
Scraggy–Hatched to Be Wild.
Episode Description:
While on the way to Castelia City, Ash, Iris, and Cilan are resting for a while when Axew notifies the others that the Pokémon Egg Ash got earlier is about to hatch. They remove it from the container and Iris tells Axew that he will "soon be a big brother". In his excitement, Axew accidentally knocks the egg down a hill, but Pikachu catches it before it hits a rock. It soon hatches into the Molting Pokémon, Scraggy, and it Leers at Pikachu before trying a Headbutt and misses. Ash decides to help train Scraggy by having it fight his other Pokémon, but Scraggy keeps being rude and failing at various attacks against Ash's Pokémon, causing it to lose confidence. Elsewhere, Pierce directs Team Rocket to bring the meteorite they stole to a lab for study.
