He is largely responsible for the banning of this episode everywhere outside of Asia for pointing a [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|revolver]] in {{Ash}}'s face. As the episode only aired in Asia, he does not have an English name. | ||
Thirty years before the events of the episode, Kaiser discovered a rare {{p|Dratini}} in the Safari Zone, and many {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from far and wide flooded there in order to find and catch it for themselves, although none of them managed to even see it. In the process, they also caught tons of other Pokémon and all but destroyed the Safari Zone. As such, a catching limit was established for the area, only allowing the use of a limited set {{ball|Safari}}s at a time. Every time a Trainer wishes to enter the Safari Zone, Kaiser is in charge of explaining the catching rules to them and handing them a set of thirty Safari Balls and a [[Fishing|fishing rod]] to be used within the area. | |||
As Kaiser wants to protect Dratini in any way possible, he denies it living in the Safari Zone and does not hesitate in threatening people with his revolver to make them obey the Safari Zone rules and not ask any questions regarding Dratini. | |||
After letting {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} into the Safari Zone, Kaiser was held captive by {{TRT}}, who tried to make him tell where they could find Dratini. At first, Kaiser refused to tell anything, even when Team Rocket threatened him with his own revolvers. However, Team Rocket was finally able to break him by unleashing a tickler [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] on him, forcing him into revealing the location of a secret lagoon where he had found Dratini. As Team Rocket headed out to the lagoon, Kaiser managed to reach Ash and his friends and told them about the situation. At the lagoon, Team Rocket decided to use a bomb to force Dratini out, and both Kaiser and Ash dived into the lagoon to get it out before it exploded, with Ash lending Kaiser the use of [[Misty's Staryu]] to return to the surface while he went ahead to get the bomb. Ash started running out of breath while swimming up with the bomb, but was saved by the appearance of a {{p|Dragonair}}, who took him back to the surface, just in time for Ash to toss the bomb at the Team Rocket before it exploded, causing them to be blasted off again. Kaiser then recognized this Dragonair as the very same Dratini he had met all those years ago, and saw that it now had its own child Dratini, moving Kaiser to tears. | |||

Dragonair first appeared when it saved Ash from drowning and, in the process, its home lagoon from being blown up by {{TRT}}. Afterwards, Kaiser noticed a special mark on Dragonair's horn, and realized that it was the same Dratini he had once met, moving him to tears of how much it had grown. Dragonair then revealed that it now also had its own child Dratini, resulting in more tears of joy from Kaiser. At the end of the episode, both Dragonair and Dratini were seen watching Ash and his friends from the sky as they left the Safari Zone. | |||
