{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are just one city away from {{ci|Olivine}}. Ash calls [[Janina]] to tell her that he's coming back to Olivine City. The group heads out for the port, but | Thanks to [[Luka]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are now in [[Transit Town]] and just one city away from {{ci|Olivine}}. Ash calls [[Janina]] to tell her that he's coming back to Olivine City and she confirms that [[Jasmine]] is now ready for a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. The group heads out for the port, but they cannot find a ferry. Ash asks an old man fishing on the pier and the man reveals that the ferry left over an hour ago. After learning that Ash is desperate to reach Olivine City, he directs the group's attention to the nearby Hoothoot Express courier service. The old man mutters under his breath that he is pleased to have new customers, and he quickly rushes off somewhere. | ||
The group arrives at the airport, but it appears to be abandoned. They check out the hangar when an old pilot soon approaches them. They recognize that he was that fisherman from before. The old pilot introduces himself as [[Wings Alexander]] and he will gladly give them a ride to Olivine City, but he has a few Pokémon to attend to first. Wings enters his barn and feeds his {{p|Sandshrew}}. {{an|Brock}} and the others are impressed by the collection of Pokémon, and they soon pitch into the chores to be able to fly sooner. Wings is too distracted and reminisces about his [[Pokémon Trainer]] past. The group completes the work, and Wings admits he'll give them free passage as thanks. | |||
The group boards the plane, which seems a little shabby, but it works. In the cockpit's co-pilot seat, Ash notices a sleeping Noctowl, which Wings admits was once a {{p|Hoothoot}}. Wings tries to start up the plane, but the plane needs some refueling. Afterward, the plane takes off without a hitch and it soars towards Olivine City. En route, Wings senses a drop in air pressure, and as predicted a storm begins to develop. Wings tries to reassure his passengers as he flies through the storm conditions, but the turbulence makes for a bumpy ride. {{TRT}}’s [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]] is also caught in the winds, and the trio calls out for help when they see Wings' plane approaching. Ash and his friends stare out the windows as Team Rocket continues to call for help. Wings makes the final call and goes on to rescue the Rocket trio. Once onboard, Team Rocket promises to behave and the group almost thinks they have turned over a new leaf. Then {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} comes out of his {{i|Poké Ball}} and it causes a floor hatch to suddenly open. [[James]] clings onto the plane, while his teammates dangle outside and {{MTR}} holds onto {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. The near-death experience leaves Team Rocket in shock. {{an|Misty}} is just relieved to have Togepi in her arms. While the created hole is quickly patched up with some wood planks. | |||
The storm gets worse and soon one of the | The storm gets worse and soon one of the propellers is almost ready to fall off. Wings reminisces about when he first started flying, but [[Jessie]] urges him to remain focused. Ash volunteers himself, so he jumps out onto the side of the plane and climbs to the top. He has a little trouble holding on so {{an|Brock}} sends out {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} to stabilize Ash. Afterward, Ash calls out his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to hold onto the loose engine. Now another engine starts to shake off, so Ash sends out {{AP|Bayleef}} to hold that one in place. The plane's nose is diving at a precarious angle, and Wings struggles to correct his trajectory. Misty calls out {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} and {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, and they aim their {{m|Water Gun}} attacks at the raging sea below. The strategy works and the plane begins to climb into the air once again. Everyone anticipates the next disaster on the insane flight, and Meowth spots it on the plane's wing; {{an|Jigglypuff}}. Everyone starts to panic, except for Wings Alexander. Before anyone can stop Jigglypuff, it {{m|Sing}}s. Everyone falls {{status|sleep|asleep}} and as always, Jigglypuff gets angry, but before it can do anything, it gets carried away by another gust of wind. | ||
Ash wakes up first, then everyone else, but without much control, the plane is headed straight for the ocean | Ash wakes up first, then everyone else, but without much control, the plane is headed straight for the ocean. Wings Alexander is feeling the pressure and wishes his Noctowl could fly into action like it used to. At that minute, the Noctowl wakes up and then flies around the plane with a rope making a secure wrap around it, and begins pulling it. While those inside keep the rope tensioned, Ash calls out his {{AP|Noctowl}} to help pull the plane as well. The storm intensifies and lightning is added to the mix. Brock suggests that {{AP|Pikachu}} would be able to counter the lightning bolts, so Ash summons him to the top of the plane. He orders a {{m|Thunderbolt}} into the sky, which attracts the lightning to that spot. The electric currents combine for an explosively blinding effect, but at least the lightning has now stopped. Wings announces that they will reach Olivine City in a few minutes. | ||
Wings spots a faint light among the dark clouds, and soon realizes it belongs to the [[Olivine Lighthouse|Shining Lighthouse]]. Wings deduces that they have been blown off course and takes evasive measures to avoid the deadly cliffs surrounding Olivine. After a steep climb, the plane returns to a level flight path to continue forward. Team Rocket find themselves sitting on top of the patched-up hole made earlier. Wobbuffet again pops out, making the cover break which sent the trio plummeting. Wings has the plane soar over the Shining Lighthouse. The group spots Janina waving to them from the observation deck and Jasmine inside. Wings Alexander declares the flight was just like old times, and his Noctowl seems to agree. | |||
