| 459/458 | 455 | "Aipom and Circumstance" (Aipom and the King!) "Eipamu to Ōsama!" (エイパムと王様!) | July 6, 2006 | December 14, 2006 |
| The four heroes arrive in a town where whoever wears a crown until sunset for one particular day gets to be king of the town for one year. However, the crown becomes stuck on Aipom's head. (Or) On the way to Fennel Valley and the Battle Pyramid, Ash and friends stop for lunch. After they are done eating, Aipom tries to show Ash the flowers it gathered, but when Pikachu jumps on Ash’s shoulder, Aipom gets jealous, grabs Ash’s hat, and runs off. Ash, Pikachu, and Brock run off after it and wind up in a village where people are stretching. A boy named Hank explains that they are about to compete in a contest to decide who will be the king of their village for the next year. As the contest begins, Aipom comes by, takes the crown, and runs off into the woods, and everyone gives chase. In the woods Aipom puts the crown on and it gets stuck to her head! Now Ash must catch up with Aipom and remove the crown before the people of the village or Team Rocket get a hold of it! | ||||
