[[Maria]] and [[Samuel]] arrive with the news that "a mysterious group of people" have sealed off the [[Snowpoint Temple]]. {{ | [[Maria]] and [[Samuel]] arrive with the news that "a mysterious group of people" have sealed off the [[Snowpoint Temple]]. {{an|Brandon}} orders Maria and Samuel to board the pyramid so they can go to the temple and see what is going on. {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Dawn}} insist on going too, and Brandon consents. {{TRT}}, around the corner of the pyramid, overhear and decide that they will tag along. The Battle Pyramid takes off, with Team Rocket holding on. | ||
Inside the pyramid, | Inside the pyramid, Brandon asks Ash if he has heard the legend of the Snowpoint Temple. Ash says he would like to hear it, and Maria begins. Long ago, there was a violent volcanic eruption that turned the once-beautiful Snowpoint Forest into a sea of lava. Out of a bright blue light, {{p|Regigigas}} appeared with the [[legendary titans]]. The four stopped the volcanic eruption, saving [[Snowpoint City]]. Afterwards, Regigigas went into a deep sleep in the Snowpoint Temple, protected by {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}, who had transformed into guardian pillars. Brandon guesses that the mysterious people are after Regigigas. Meanwhile, clinging to the pyramid, Team Rocket overhears and decide to capture Regigigas for {{an|Giovanni}}. In their excitement, they accidentally let go and blast off. | ||
Samuel shows the entrance to the temple on a screen, revealing a figure whom Ash recognizes as Hunter [[J]]. Brandon tells Maria and Samuel about J, also telling Ash and friends that he is here to do research on the legend, which has basis in fact. As Ash presents the idea of stopping J from catching Regigigas, [[J's henchmen]] see the Pyramid and inform J. J orders her henchmen not to let the Pyramid get near, and they send out a virtual army of {{p|Metang}} and {{p|Skarmory}} to attack the Pyramid with {{m|Sludge Bomb}} and {{m|Flash Cannon}}, respectively. One of the engines is hit, forcing an emergency landing. Brandon, Maria and the gang leave in a small airship, while Samuel stays to repair the Pyramid's motor. The henchmen notice the small craft, and order their Pokémon to attack, but the gang is saved by {{AP|Pikachu}}, who uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the Skarmory, and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, who uses {{m|Bubble Beam}} on the Metang. After defeating the Pokémon, Brandon, Maria, and the gang run into the temple. | Samuel shows the entrance to the temple on a screen, revealing a figure whom Ash recognizes as Hunter [[J]].
