'''"Yureru Shima no Tatakai! Dojoach VS Namazun!!"''' ("Battle of the Quaking Island! Barboach VS Whiscash!!") was intended to be the 375th episode (AG101) of the long-running anime series ''Pokémon''. The episode saw Ash and the gang traveling to Jojo Island (en route to Sootopolis City Gym) and getting caught in the middle of an earthquake caused by the titular Whiscash. They later meet up with a trainer named Chota, who assists them in subduing the volatile Whiscash.


Scheduled to air in Japan on November 4, 2004 was the intended 375th episode (AG101) of the wildly popular anime series ''Pokemon''. The episode, "Yureru Shima no Tatakai!

Barboach VS Whiscash!!"''', which saw Ash and the gang travelling to Jojo Island (en route to Sootopolis City Gym) and getting caught in the middle of an earthquake (caused by the titular Whiscash), was pulled from broadcast just weeks before it was set to air, following the 2004 Chuetsu earthquake which took place in late October, killing 40 and injuring over 3,000.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Ch%C5%ABetsu_earthquake Wikipedia article on the 2004 Chuetsu earthquake.] Last retrieved 21 Feb 2015.</ref> They later meet up with a trainer named Chota, who assists them in subduing the Whiscash.
==Cancellation==
The episode was scheduled to air in Japan on November 4th, 2004, but was pulled from broadcast less than two weeks before that date following the 2004 Chuetsu earthquake. It was initially marked as "postponed", but was eventually cancelled outright and marked as "discontinued". Considering how Japan feels about alluding to atrocities, even indirectly, the episode will likely never be released. The only footage of the episode available is a short preview video that was released prior to its cancellation.
