(Episode opens with Ash, Pikachu, Cilan, Iris and Axew looking

over a river and Cilan speaks to Ash and Iris.)

Cilan: Okay, guys. What do you think about having lunch here?

Ash: I think this would be a good place to have lunch.

Iris: Yeah, this is a very nice place.

Pikachu: Pika.

Axew: Axew.

Cilan: Okay, then. Ill start making our lunch right away. Why

dont you two go do something while I cook?

Both: Sure thing.

Pikachu: Pika.

Axew: Axew.

(A few minutes later, Ash and Iris are sitting near the edge of

the river with their feet in the water and Iris speaks to Ash.)

Iris: Ahh, isnt this relaxing, Ash?

Ash: It sure is, Iris. It sure is nice to just kick back and relax.

Pikachu: Pika.

Axew: Axew.

(They both lie back to the ground and sigh in comfort, but then

Ash spots something shiny across from him and he lifts his feet

out of the water and walks over to find a shiny rock. He picks it

up, and walks back over to Iris and shows it to her. Ash speaks

to Iris.)

Ash: Hey, Iris. Take a look at this rock I found.

Iris: (in wonderment.) Wow. What kind of rock do you think it

is?

Ash: I dont know. I think that it might be silver.

Iris: You know, I think that it might be silver, too.

(Cilan calls out to them.)

Cilan: Hey, guys. Lunch is ready.

Both: Okay.

Iris: Well show Cilan the rock right after we eat.

Ash: All right, then.

(A few minutes later, after theyve eaten, Ash and Iris comment

on the food that was eaten.)

Iris: Mmm, that was really good.

Ash: Yeah. Cilan really knows how to make good food.

Cilan: Oh, thanks, guys. So, what were you two doing while I

was cooking?

Ash: Iris and I were just relaxing near the river with our feet inthe water, but then I spotted a shiny rock right nearby, so I

showed it to Iris and we both think that it might be silver.

Cilan: Really? Let me see it.

(Ash takes the rock out of his pocket and shows it to Cilan. Cilan

examines it.)

Cilan: Hmm.

Ash: So, what do you think?

Cilan: Well, it seems to me that this rock is really made of zinc,

not silver.

Ash and Iris: What?

Pikachu: Pika?

Axew: Axew?

Ash: How can you tell its zinc, Cilan?

Cilan: Well, silver has a more polished surface to it. Zinc has a

dull look to it and is a little darker. You two only thought it was

silver because it had the same color as silver.

Iris: Oh, okay.


5/12

Cilan: Dont feel bad, guys.

Ash: Oh, we dont feel bad at all. It was just a little surprising.

Iris: Yeah, thats all it was. Now Im starting to wonder why zinc

is so different from silver.

Cilan: I dont know how to tell you that, Iris. How are we

supposed to know the difference between them?

Ash: I know. Lets give Siara a call. (He pulls out the Pokepilot

and calls Siara.) She might know about this. Hi, Siara.

Siara: Hey, guys. Whats going on?

Iris: The guys and I were just having lunch near a river. It was

very pleasant.

Siara: Im sure it was. So, whats the problem?

Iris: While Ash and I were waiting for Cilan for cook lunch, I

spotted a shiny rock nearby, and I picked it up, showed it to Iris

and we both though it was silver. Then after we had lunch, we

showed it to Cilan, and he said it was actually zinc we found

instead. So, we wanted to ask you why zinc is different from

silver.

Siara: Ill be glad to tell you. To better understand the

difference, Im going to tell you all about the elements.

Ash: Okay, but what are elements?

Iris: Knowing more about the elements is pretty interesting.

Siara: It sure is interesting. How about we do a lab to better

understand them?

Cilan: Sure thing, Siara. (He looks at the viewers.) Would you

like to do the lab with us? (He waits for an answer from the

viewers.) Good.

(Cut to a video screen in Siaras lab.)

Siara: Okay, here are 9 different kinds of elements. Whatyoure going to do is to put each element into the correct

category. Okay?

Everyone: Okay.

Siara: Good, then, lets get started. Heres some copper. What

category of elements does this go in?

Ash: It goes into the metals category.

Siara: Good one, Ash. Now, heres boron. What category of

elements does this go in?

Iris: It belongs in the metalloids category.

Siara: Way to go, Iris. Heres hydrogen. What category of

elements does this go in?

Cilan: It belongs in the non-metals category.

Pikachu: Pika.

Axew: Axew.

Siara: No problem. Well, Ive got to get back to work. See you

later, guys.

Everyone: See you, Siara.

Cilan: Okay, guys. How about we go over what we know?

Ash: Good idea, Cilan. But before we do that, lets ask our

friends at home if they want to go over with us.

Iris: All right, Ash. (She looks at the viewers.) Would you like to

go over with us? (She waits for an answer from the viewers.)

Oh, good. Okay, what is an element? (She waits for an answer

from the viewers.) Its a substance composed of atoms having

an identical number of protons in each nucleus. Way to go.

Ash: Whats a metalloid? (He waits for an answer from the

viewers.) Its an element thats a mixture of metals and non-

metals. All right.

Cilan: What is a non-metal? (He waits for an answer from the

viewers.) Its element that isnt a metal and has a lower density

than metals. Very good.

Everyone: Good work, guys.

Pikachu: Pika.


10/12

Axew: Axew.

Ash: All right, what should we do now, guys?

Iris: I dont know, Ash. What about you, Cilan?

Cilan: Hmm.

(He thinks for a minute.)

Iris: Well?

Cilan: Hmm. Ah, Ive got it. We can pick out three elements

from the Periodic Table and sort them into the three

categories.

Iris: Thats a good idea, Cilan. How about we ask our friends at

home if they want to do it with us?

Ash: Okay, Iris. (He looks at the viewers.) Do you want to do

this with us? (He waits for an answer from the viewers.) All

right.

Pikachu: Pika.

(Cut to the Periodic Table.)

Cilan: All right, were going to select three elements off of the

Table and all you have to do is pick the correct category that

each one belongs in. Okay, I choose helium.

Ash: I pick copper.


11/12

Iris: And I pick boron.

Ash: Okay, lets get going. Where does boron go? (He waits for

an answer from the viewers.)It goes into the metalloids

category. All right.

Cilan: Now, where does copper go? (He waits for an answer

from the viewers.) It goes into the metals category. Very good.

Iris: Where does helium go? (She waits for an answer from the

viewers.) It goes into the non-metals category. Way to go.

(Cut back to the gang.)

Everyone: Good job, guys.

Pikachu: Pika.

Axew: Axew.

Ash: That was really enjoyable.

Iris: It sure was, Ash. Thanks for thinking of it, Cilan.

Cilan: No problem, guys. I really enjoyed doing it, as well.

(Ash walks over to the table and picks up the zinc.)

Ash: You know, even though we didnt find silver, it was stillcool that we found an element we didnt know about.

Iris: Youre right, Ash. It was cool.


12/12

Cilan: It sure was great that we learned a lot about the

elements.

Iris: Yeah, it was a lot of fun learning about all those elements.

Ash: It sure was fun. It was just incredible how many elements

are out there.

(They all turn to the viewers.)

Everyone: Thanks for the help, guys.

Pikachu: Pika.

Axew: Axew.

(Cut to everyone sitting at the table.)

Iris: We had a pretty good day today. Did you have a good day?

(She waits for an answer from the viewers.) Oh, okay. I liked

that we did that activity.

Cilan: I liked learning about the elements.

Ash: I liked doing the lab.

Everyone: Thanks again, guys. See you next time. (They all

wave goodbye to the viewers and the scenery irises out, ending

the episode.)
