Pokémon XY's Sunken Ship Episode to Air After Being Delayed
posted on by Tiara Hamilton
The official website for the Pokémon XY TV series announced that the "Kaitei no Shiro! Kuzumō to Doramidoro!!" (Castle at the Bottom of the Ocean! Skrelp and Dragalge!!) episode will air on November 20 after being delayed for seven months.
The announcement of the delay was made in late April, shortly after a South Korean ferry sank off the southern coast of South Korea. Of the 462 passengers, including 325 high school students, more than 300 were confirmed dead.
In the episode, Ash (Satoshi) is fishing on the Muraille Coast when he pulls in a Skrelp that inflicts Pikachu with a deadly poison. A passing married couple is able to provide an antidote. The couple are underwater archaeologists who are looking for sunken ship in the area so Ash and his friends decide to help, but Team Rocket also comes looking for the ship's treasure.
The first compiled volume of Kiku Suguwara's Holy Holy manga series, which depicts a shipwreck, was also delayed after the South Korean ferry sinking. The volume was slated for May 12 and was ultimately released on June 12.
