The rivalry between May and Silcoon and Jessie and her cas—er, silcoon intensifies. Especially after Silcoon evolves into Beautifly and Jessie’s pokémon doesn’t. Even Professor Birch is unable to convince Jessie that her silcoon is actually a cascoon. The moment James and Meowth have been dreading arrives when the cascoon evolves into Dustox.
