No Free Lunch is the 21st episode of Dinosaur King, in Series 1.
Summary
The Alpha Gang is looking for a dinosaur in an off-the-beaten-path section of a Japanese tourist attraction cave system, but due to Ed's clumsiness, they get burried under a pile of rocks.
Meanwhile, the D-Team is with their school class, filing into buses that are going to take them to (coincidentally) the same caves.
Back in the caves, in a last-ditch attempt, Zander and Ed use Ursula's hatred of the phrase "old lady" to rile her up enough that she frees them from the rock pile, inadvertantly activating a Euoplocephalus card in the process. Being the expert dino-hunters that they are, none of the Alpha Gang notice the dinosaur as it slowly walks off down a cave.
While getting on the bus, the D-Team's hyperactive and overly-enthusiastic-about-everything teacher, Michelle, asks Zoe to sit next to the new girl, Amy, to try and get her to feel welcome. It's soon discovered that Amy likes lizards, and Michelle has a horrendous snore.
When the field trip arrives at the caves and stops for lunch, the Alpha Gang (who are starving) run up and steal Michelle's lunch (after an "old lady" insult exchange between Michelle and Ursula). During the ordeal, Amy runs off down a cave to chase a lizard, and ends up running right into the Euoplocephalus! But as it turns out, the dinosaur is friendly and just wants to stay away from noisy people (a common theme among many wild dinosaurs in the show).
The D-Team sneaks away from the group looking for the dinosaur and for Amy, and Max's "instinct" slides them down a tunnel and right to both of them. Then the Alpha Gang arrives and summons Spiny, just as Michelle and the entire class arrives, but the class quickly leaves as a dinosaur battle starts, causing stalactites to fall from the ceiling.
After a tough fight, Spiny beats the Euoplocephalus, but the card is claimed by Max, and Zoe summons Paris, who defeats Spiny and drives off the Alpha Gang.
In the end, Amy ends up adopting the lizard she'd been chasing in the caves, and names it Hannah III (Hannah being the name of her former pet iguana which she had to leave behind when she moved, and Hannah II having been the name she gave to the Euoplocephalus).
Battles
Ursula/Spiny vs. Euoplocephalus
Ursula summons Spiny to attack Euoplocephalus. Euoplocephalus keeps Spiny at bay with its clubbed tail, then rams him! When Spiny attacks again, Euoplocephalus swings around, knocking Spiny away with its tail. Seeing that the battle is starting to cause a minor cave in that's threatening Amy, it uses Quake Saber to weaken Spiny.
But Spiny smashes the ceiling with his tail, causing more rocks to fall. When Euoplocephalus protects Amy from the debris, Ursula has Spiny use Shockwave. Euoplocephalus attacks with Quake Saber again, but Shockwave cancels out the attack and sends it flying. Spiny rams Euoplocephalus three times, defeating it.
Ursula/Spiny win
Zoe/Paris vs. Alpha Gang/Spiny
Zoe summons Paris, and the Alpha Gang has Spiny charge her. Zoe activates Metal Wing, but instead of Spiny, the 3 Pteranodon summoned fly after the Alpha Gang themselves, swooping and pecking at them.
Spiny tries to attack Paris, but she uses her crest to send out super-loud sound waves that cause the ceiling over Spiny to partially colapse, and he is defeated by a mass of falling rocks and boulders. Then the Pteranodon drive the Alpha Gang out of the cavern.
Zoe/Paris win

Trivia
- During the scene where Paris and Spiny are battling, before Paris uses her crest to make a sound to distract Spiny, Spiny charges at her and you can clearly hear Spiny's Japanese roar.
- After the Pteranodons peck away the Alpha Gang, each one of them roar, and if you listen closely you can hear a wheezing noise, which is their Japanese Roar.
