(Japanese: ゆれる島の戦い！ドジョッチVSナマズン！！ Shaking Island Battle! Dojoach VS Namazun!!) was intended to be the 101st episode of Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire, and the 375th episode of the Pokémon animated series. It was set to air in Japan on November 4, 2004. The episode was skipped in Japan due to strong earthquakes in Niigata prefecture nearly a week before the first airing of AG100. It was also subsequently skipped in the English-language broadcasts, and has never aired in any other country as well. Also, the move Earthquake, alongside similar moves such as Fissure and Magnitude, have not been used in the animated series since this event.

Plot

After winning the Mind Badge at the Mossdeep Gym, Ash now heads for the final Gym in Sootopolis City. Along the way, he and his friends stop by on Jojo Island and are caught in an earthquake caused by a group of Whiscash. They then meet a Pokémon Trainer named Chōta and his Barboach, and decide to help him in getting rid of the Whiscash.

Two later episodes were also cancelled just before airing because of an earthquake.
  • Because this episode never aired, Ash is never shown learning the location of the final Hoenn League Gym onscreen.
