BW081: Difference between revisions

In the underground control room, the researchers, the Ferroseed that they have rescued, and the rest of the tour group appear to be in safety. Case sees the man who just entered the building and identifies him as Professor Malveaux, who goes over to Pikachu and diagnoses that he became sick from inhaling a large amount of moss spores. He then sees why this happened: the Chargestone rocks, still latched onto by the three Ferroseed. He tells Case to prepare a treatment made of [[Lum Berry]], [[Mago Berry]], and [[White Herb]] extract. Cilan and Georgia ask if they and their Pokémon are in danger too. Malveaux says that the spores do affect Pokémon, but not people. A video call comes in from [[Nurse Joy]] in the local [[Pokémon Center]], and Malveaux explains what is happening and apologizes. Nurse Joy says that all the affected Pokémon are {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ground}} types. Georgia is relieved that Vanilluxe will not be affected. Malveaux tells Nurse Joy about the treatment and has a message sent to [[Officer Jenny]] to close every surrounding bridge to contain the moss’s spread. Case gives Pikachu a drink made from the moss treatment, which appears to bring him out of his daze.

One researcher says that the moss has filled the fourth floor and will soon reach the roof—where Iris and the Pokémon still are. Still unaware of the danger, Iris opens the roof doors and sees the staircase overtaken by moss. She screams in shock until the doors close by themselves. Cilan appears on a nearby video intercom and explains the situation, while Georgia threatens her if anything happens to Vanilluxe. The moss breaches the narrow crack of the sliding doors and rapidly spreads over the rooftop. Iris and the Pokémon others try to flee, but are stopped at the edge of the roof where Iris sees that the moss has completely taken over the city. She turns around and releases her {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} and {{TP|Iris|Emolga}}. She orders them to use {{m|Focus Blast}} and {{m|Hidden Power}} respectively to curtail the moss’s spread, but each one’s move fails and they both collapse from the spores. Iris realizes her mistake and recalls them, and comforts an anxious Axew. Oshawott pushes the moss back with {{m|Water Gun}}, but it grows back much bigger than before. Iris desperately calls for Vanilluxe’s help, and the Snowstorm Pokémon blasts the moss with its {{m|Icy Wind}}. The move succeeds in freezing over all the moss on the roof and breaking it into many shards of ice. Those inside the underground control room lose their video feed of the rooftop due to the electrical moss, but deduce that Ice-type moves are indeed effective. Malveaux has Officer Jenny be informed that she should use Ice-type moves to clear the moss from the city. Suddenly, the three Ferroseed detach from the Chargestone rocks and burst out of the container, clearly suffering from the vast amount of electricity they have absorbed, and release more spikes. Malveaux postulates that removing the Ferroseed’s excess electricity should stop the spread of the moss. Without any Ice-type Pokémon, however, they cannot reach the third floor. Georgia volunteers to offer the services of her {{TP|Georgia|Beartic}}. Meanwhile, Vanilluxe begins clearing the staircase as Iris thinks about the irony of being rescued by an Ice type. Cilan, Georgia, and Malveaux, who takes three box-like devices with him, head off to the third floor. Ash says that he will go too when Pikachu feels better.

Suddenly, a voice rings out from the other side of the wall of moss: “Ice Beam!” The wall freezes and shatters into brilliant shards, revealing Beartic, Georgia, Cilan, and Malveaux on the other side. Georgia complements Iris on her efforts, emphasizing her alliance with an Ice type. Malveaux opens up the three devices, which electromagnetically attract the three Ferroseed and begin draining their excess electricity. Meanwhile, Pikachu wakes from his rest and feels great. However, the supercharged Ferrossed break free from the devices, unable to control themselves. Ash decides to step in and head over there with Pikachu.
