==Synopsis==
==Blurb==
[[Khoury]] and {{an|Lyra}} join the group and travel together. The episode starts off with the group relaxing for a lunch break. As Lyra and {{an|Dawn}} comment on her newly hatched {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} offers his greetings. Piplup's first try is returned with Cyndaquil turning its back away. Devastated, Piplup tries once more only to meet the same greeting. Angry, Piplup then pecks Cyndaquil's behind which it also pays back in kind. The two are then ready to brawl when {{AP|Pikachu}} breaks them up.  {{Ash}} then suggests to have a [[Pokémon battle|battle]] to find out more about Cyndaquil's personality and strength, to which Cyndaquil agrees. With {{an|Brock}} as referee, the battle starts off with Ash choosing {{AP|Grotle}} and Dawn checks Cyndaquil's moves with the [[Pokédex]] to find that it knows {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Swift}}, and {{m|SmokeScreen}}. Grotle starts off with {{m|Razor Leaf}}, which Cyndaquil dodges by jumping up high, and then uses Flame Wheel. Grotle takes the hit and Ash commends Cyndaquil on the power of its move, which causes it to jump with joy. Grotle then uses {{m|Energy Ball}} which Cyndaquil dodges again and then uses Swift from above. It is powerful enough to cause Grotle to be pushed back which Khoury and Lyra comment on it's excellent first time and agility. From a hill, [[Team Rocket]] observes the battle where [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} plan to swipe the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} only to be reminded by [[James]] that they have something to attend to. Lyra's {{p|Marill}} hears them and wanders off... Cyndaquil dodges another Razor Leaf and uses SmokeScreen from above. From the ground, it uses Swift to cause Grotle to flip over! Ash responds with a {{m|Rock Climb}} that lifts Cyndaquil in the air where Grotle hits it. It quickly gets back on it feet, ready to battle, when Brock calls off the match!  He states that since its Cyndaquil's first battle, it should rest. Piplup then goes over to congratulate Grotle, only to see that except for Ash, everyone's attention is on Cyndaquil. Piplup becomes so jealous, that when Dawn offers it a [[Poffin]], he jumps in the way and eats it. This results in a brawl, which only ends when Dawn tells them that if they don't stop, there'll be no dinner for either of them. The two angrily have their foreheads locked together, which Pikachu breaks up again. Khoury then realizes that Marill is missing.

<i>Head: Accompanied by Lyra and Khoury, our heroes continue toward Lilypad Town and Dawn's next Pokémon Contest. But Lyra's Marill once again wanders off alone and winds up at Valley Windworks in need of rescue!
Ash and friends look for Marill immediately. They come across the [[Valley Windworks]] and see Marill walk inside. The {{Ashfr|group}} walks inside too, but several {{p|Magnemite}} appear out of nowhere and attack. The group finds refuge in the security office where they wake the security guard who calls off the Magnemite. They ask for permission to look for Marill, and the security guard points to the monitors that shows every room. They then see Marill wandering around in the basement storage room and leave the guard to nap again.


The scene then shifts to Team Rocket (who has has recently encountered the Magnemite due to their puffy hair), who are carrying a long power cord which they plug into a major power outlet. James comments to Jessie that it'll take several hour to juice up. Meanwhile, the group find Marill, but Cyndaquil and Piplup have gone out still searching! Back at the power outlet, Jessie, impatient with the charging speed, pulls a switch that causes a power surge which initiates a lock down!
Our heroes are joined by Lyra and Khoury as they all head toward Lilypad Town and Dawn's next Pokémon Contest. Unexpectedly, during a battle with Dawn's newly hatched Cyndaquil, Lyra's Marill sneaks away again! It seems that the mischievous Pokémon has wandered into the nearby Valley Windworks, a huge power plant.


With the doors closed, the group is stuck inside with Piplup and Cyndaquil still outside! Pikachu then tries a {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the door that fails and Brock suggests they wave at the camera. This also fails as the guard is still sleeping in security. Khoury then panics, wondering if they'll be in the room forever to which Lyra comments by saying a little "positive thinking would do some good for him." Brock then spots a ventilation shaft and stack boxes and crates with Ash and Khoury. As Ash stuggles with the vent cover, the girls are standing at the opposite wall and Lyra says to Dawn that if she'll be stuck forever in the room, she would like to get married. She disregards Khoury and then asks Dawn if Ash is her boyfriend, to which she declines. Lyra asks who Dawn thinks would be the best for such a situation out of the three boys, and Dawn says that she really doesn't know. Lyra presses Dawn on the subject, but Dawn tells her that she never really thought about it. Lyra looks somewhat surprised and states that she thought it would be the first thing she would think about.
Giving chase, Ash and the gang don't realize that Team Rocket has broken in to the Windworks at the same time! They're attempting to recharge their latest machine, which is in sore need of electricity. But in the process of snagging some electricity, they blow all the Windworks' circuits...and lock our heroes in one of the rooms!


Ash then opens the shaft stating it's too narrow for him, so Pikachu goes instead to find himself right above the outside of the door. He finds Piplup and Cyndaquil still glaring at each other, to which he sighs. He comes between them and beckons them to follow. Meanwhile, while Team Rocket is searching for food, they discover the security room and see the three Pokémon separated from the group and plan to nab them. They cross paths with Pikachu and friends and begin to chase them and are greeted by Magnemite. Jessie then sends out {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} to use {{m|Mirror Coat}} which cause the damage to reflect back and knock them out. Back in the room Ash tries Grotle's Energy Ball, but it just bounces all over the room barely missing everyone and destroys a shelf. Lyra sends out her {{p|Girafarig}} to use {{m|Double Hit}} on the door which also fails. She then asks Khoury to try, which he responds by saying that he can't do it if no one else can. Lyra replies by saying how his negative personality drives her crazy. Ash tries himself with a crow bar and only ends up hurting his hands, so Brock suggests a break. They have a snack break and take out seven cookies realizing there are five people! Despite Khoury's accurate calculations of 1.4, Lyra states since Dawn and her are girls, they get two each.
Pikachu manages to crawl through an airshaft in the wall, finding Piplup and Cyndaquil scuffling in another room. The three Pokémon make their way to the control room and its sleeping security guard. Once there, Team Rocket nets Cyndaquil, but a humongous Thunderbolt by Pikachu not only stops Team Rocket's evil plans but restores power to the Windworks. Finally, our trapped heroes are reunited and are able to escape!


Pikachu then finds the security room, only to be ambushed by Team Rocket! Piplup fires a {{m|Whirlpool}} and Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, setting the lock down to normal and Team Rocket running off! The {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and Pokémon reunite and Piplup and Cyndaquil begin fighting over Dawn's attention, so she calls Cyndaquil back to it's [[Poké Ball]]. They tell the guard they found Marill and leave the Valley Windworks on a happy evening... But suddenly, a blinding light flashes, turning out to be a giant {{p|Magcargo}} Robot built by Team Rocket which was being powered up by the power cord! They fire an extremely powerful energy blast that almost causes damage to the group, but because Team Rocket didn't give enough time to charge the battery, the single shot depleted their energy supply. Vulnerable, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, sending Team Rocket blasting off and saving the day.
Having found Marill, they are confronted one last time by Team Rocket and its newly charged machine, the Magcargo cannon.Team Rocket takes its shot, but is left powerless against another of Pikachu's attacks, which sends them blasting off once again!</i>
 
==Plot==
With the group relaxing for a lunch break, {{an|Lyra}} and {{an|Dawn}} comment on her newly hatched {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil|Quilava}}. {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} also offers his greetings, only to be rejected by Cyndaquil's shyness. Angry, Piplup attacks Cyndaquil, and receives payback in return. The two get ready to brawl when {{AP|Pikachu}} breaks them up. {{Ash}} suggests to have a {{pkmn|battle}} to find out more about Cyndaquil's personality and strength, to which Cyndaquil agrees. With {{an|Brock}} as referee, the battle starts off with Ash choosing {{AP|Grotle}} and Dawn checks Cyndaquil's [[move]]s with the [[Pokédex]] to find that it knows {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Swift}}, and {{m|SmokeScreen}}.

Grotle uses {{m|Energy Ball}} which Cyndaquil dodges again and replies using Swift from above. It is powerful enough to cause Grotle to be pushed back which [[Khoury]] and Lyra comment on its excellent first time and agility. From a hill, {{TRT}} observes the battle where [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} plan to swipe the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} only to be reminded by [[James]] that they have something to attend to. Lyra's {{p|Marill}} hears them and wanders off. The match continues as Cyndaquil dodges another Razor Leaf and uses SmokeScreen from above. From the ground, it uses Swift to cause Grotle to flip over. Ash responds with a {{m|Rock Climb}} that lifts Cyndaquil in the air where Grotle hits it. It quickly gets back on it feet, ready to battle, when Brock calls off the match. He states that since it's Cyndaquil's first battle, it should rest. Piplup goes over to congratulate Grotle, only to see that except for Ash, everyone's attention is on Cyndaquil.

This results in a brawl, which only ends when Dawn tells them that if they don't stop, there'll be no dinner for either of them. The two angrily have their foreheads locked together, which Pikachu breaks up again. Khoury realizes that Marill is missing.
 
Ash and {{ashfr}} look for Marill immediately. They come across the [[Valley Windworks]] and see Marill walk inside. The group walks inside too, but several {{p|Magnemite}} appear out of nowhere and attack. The group finds refuge in the security office where they wake the security guard, [[Benjamin]], who calls off the Magnemite. They ask for permission to look for Marill, and Benjamin points to his surveillance monitors which shows Marill wandering around in the basement storage room, so the group leaves the guard to nap again.
 
Meanwhile, Team Rocket wanders into the Valley Windworks, carrying a long power cord which they plug into a major power outlet. James comments to Jessie that it'll take several hours for the [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] to charge up. Jessie becomes impatient and pulls down the lever, and the resulting power surge shuts off the power. For the group, while they have located Marill, Piplup and Cyndaquil have gone elsewhere. Pikachu tries a {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the door, but it fails. Brock suggests they wave at the camera, though this also fails as the guard is still sleeping in security. Khoury panics, wondering if they'll be in the room forever to which Lyra orders him to remain positive. Brock spots a ventilation shaft, so they stack boxes and crates to be able to climb up. As Ash struggles with the vent cover, the girls are standing at the opposite wall and Lyra says to Dawn that if she'll be stuck forever in the room, she would like to get married. She disregards Khoury and then asks Dawn if Ash is her boyfriend, to which she declines. Lyra asks who Dawn thinks would be the best for such a situation out of the three boys, and Dawn says that she really doesn't know. Lyra presses Dawn on the subject, but is shocked when Dawn tells her that she never really thought about it.
 
After removing the vent cover Ash realizes the shaft is too narrow for him, so Pikachu goes instead to find himself right above the outside of the door. He finds Piplup and Cyndaquil still glaring at each other, to which he sighs. He steps between them and beckons them to follow. Meanwhile, while Team Rocket is searching for food, they discover the security room and notice the three Pokémon separated from the group on the cameras, so they plan to nab them. They cross paths with Pikachu and his friends and begin to chase them with nets in hand. Team Rocket gets zapped by the Magnemite, allowing Pikachu and the others to flee. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} to use {{m|Mirror Coat}}, knocking the Magnemite out with the reflected attacks. Back in the room Ash tries Grotle's Energy Ball, though it just bounces off the walls, narrowly missing everyone and destroying a shelf. Lyra sends out her {{p|Girafarig}} to use {{m|Double Hit}} on the door which also fails. She asks Khoury to try, though she is unimpressed by his negative attitude as he responds by saying that if no one else can do it, he certainly can't. Ash tries himself with a crow bar and only ends up hurting his hands, so Brock suggests a break. They have a snack break and take out seven cookies realizing there are five people. Despite Khoury's accurate calculations of 1.4, Lyra states since Dawn and her are girls, they get two each. Though Dawn thinks that isn't quite fair.
 
Pikachu soon finds the security room, only for Cyndaquil to be ambushed by Team Rocket. Piplup fires a {{m|Whirlpool}} and Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, canceling the lockdown and sending Team Rocket running off. The {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and Pokémon reunite. However Piplup and Cyndaquil begin fighting over Dawn's attention again, so she calls Cyndaquil back to its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Before they leave, Ash and his friends wake Benjamin up to inform him they leaving now. Benjamin wishes them all the best before returning to his nap.
 
The group steps outside to find that it is night time. But suddenly, a blinding light flashes, which turns out to be a giant {{p|Magcargo}} mecha built by Team Rocket which was being powered up by the power cord. Jessie orders the cannon be fired, sending the [[twerp]]s running. However the energy pulse also drained the robot's battery to almost empty. Vulnerable, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, sending Team Rocket blasting off and saving the day.

Head: Accompanied by Lyra and Khoury, our heroes continue toward Lilypad Town and Dawn's next Pokémon Contest. But Lyra's Marill once again wanders off alone and winds up at Valley Windworks in need of rescue!

Our heroes are joined by Lyra and Khoury as they all head toward Lilypad Town and Dawn's next Pokémon Contest. Unexpectedly, during a battle with Dawn's newly hatched Cyndaquil, Lyra's Marill sneaks away again! It seems that the mischievous Pokémon has wandered into the nearby Valley Windworks, a huge power plant.

Giving chase, Ash and the gang don't realize that Team Rocket has broken in to the Windworks at the same time! They're attempting to recharge their latest machine, which is in sore need of electricity. But in the process of snagging some electricity, they blow all the Windworks' circuits...and lock our heroes in one of the rooms!

Pikachu manages to crawl through an airshaft in the wall, finding Piplup and Cyndaquil scuffling in another room. The three Pokémon make their way to the control room and its sleeping security guard. Once there, Team Rocket nets Cyndaquil, but a humongous Thunderbolt by Pikachu not only stops Team Rocket's evil plans but restores power to the Windworks. Finally, our trapped heroes are reunited and are able to escape!

Having found Marill, they are confronted one last time by Team Rocket and its newly charged machine, the Magcargo cannon.Team Rocket takes its shot, but is left powerless against another of Pikachu's attacks, which sends them blasting off once again!

Plot

With the group relaxing for a lunch break, Lyra and Dawn comment on her newly hatched Cyndaquil. Piplup also offers his greetings, only to be rejected by Cyndaquil's shyness. Angry, Piplup attacks Cyndaquil, and receives payback in return. The two get ready to brawl when Pikachu breaks them up. Ash suggests to have a battle to find out more about Cyndaquil's personality and strength, to which Cyndaquil agrees. With Brock as referee, the battle starts off with Ash choosing Grotle and Dawn checks Cyndaquil's moves with the Pokédex to find that it knows Flame Wheel, Swift, and SmokeScreen. Grotle starts off with Razor Leaf, which Cyndaquil dodges by jumping up high, and then uses Flame Wheel. Grotle takes the hit and Ash commends Cyndaquil on the power of its move, which causes it to jump with joy. Grotle uses Energy Ball which Cyndaquil dodges again and replies using Swift from above. It is powerful enough to cause Grotle to be pushed back which Khoury and Lyra comment on its excellent first time and agility. From a hill, Team Rocket observes the battle where Jessie and Meowth plan to swipe the Pokémon only to be reminded by James that they have something to attend to. Lyra's Marill hears them and wanders off. The match continues as Cyndaquil dodges another Razor Leaf and uses SmokeScreen from above. From the ground, it uses Swift to cause Grotle to flip over. Ash responds with a Rock Climb that lifts Cyndaquil in the air where Grotle hits it. It quickly gets back on it feet, ready to battle, when Brock calls off the match. He states that since it's Cyndaquil's first battle, it should rest. Piplup goes over to congratulate Grotle, only to see that except for Ash, everyone's attention is on Cyndaquil. Piplup becomes so jealous, that when Dawn offers Cyndaquil a Poffin, he jumps in the way and eats it. This results in a brawl, which only ends when Dawn tells them that if they don't stop, there'll be no dinner for either of them. The two angrily have their foreheads locked together, which Pikachu breaks up again. Khoury realizes that Marill is missing.

Ash and his friends look for Marill immediately. They come across the Valley Windworks and see Marill walk inside. The group walks inside too, but several Magnemite appear out of nowhere and attack. The group finds refuge in the security office where they wake the security guard, Benjamin, who calls off the Magnemite. They ask for permission to look for Marill, and Benjamin points to his surveillance monitors which shows Marill wandering around in the basement storage room, so the group leaves the guard to nap again.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket wanders into the Valley Windworks, carrying a long power cord which they plug into a major power outlet. James comments to Jessie that it'll take several hours for the mecha to charge up. Jessie becomes impatient and pulls down the lever, and the resulting power surge shuts off the power. For the group, while they have located Marill, Piplup and Cyndaquil have gone elsewhere. Pikachu tries a Thunderbolt on the door, but it fails. Brock suggests they wave at the camera, though this also fails as the guard is still sleeping in security. Khoury panics, wondering if they'll be in the room forever to which Lyra orders him to remain positive. Brock spots a ventilation shaft, so they stack boxes and crates to be able to climb up. As Ash struggles with the vent cover, the girls are standing at the opposite wall and Lyra says to Dawn that if she'll be stuck forever in the room, she would like to get married. She disregards Khoury and then asks Dawn if Ash is her boyfriend, to which she declines. Lyra asks who Dawn thinks would be the best for such a situation out of the three boys, and Dawn says that she really doesn't know. Lyra presses Dawn on the subject, but is shocked when Dawn tells her that she never really thought about it.

After removing the vent cover Ash realizes the shaft is too narrow for him, so Pikachu goes instead to find himself right above the outside of the door. He finds Piplup and Cyndaquil still glaring at each other, to which he sighs. He steps between them and beckons them to follow. Meanwhile, while Team Rocket is searching for food, they discover the security room and notice the three Pokémon separated from the group on the cameras, so they plan to nab them. They cross paths with Pikachu and his friends and begin to chase them with nets in hand. Team Rocket gets zapped by the Magnemite, allowing Pikachu and the others to flee. Jessie sends out Wobbuffet to use Mirror Coat, knocking the Magnemite out with the reflected attacks. Back in the room Ash tries Grotle's Energy Ball, though it just bounces off the walls, narrowly missing everyone and destroying a shelf. Lyra sends out her Girafarig to use Double Hit on the door which also fails. She asks Khoury to try, though she is unimpressed by his negative attitude as he responds by saying that if no one else can do it, he certainly can't. Ash tries himself with a crow bar and only ends up hurting his hands, so Brock suggests a break. They have a snack break and take out seven cookies realizing there are five people. Despite Khoury's accurate calculations of 1.4, Lyra states since Dawn and her are girls, they get two each. Though Dawn thinks that isn't quite fair.

Pikachu soon finds the security room, only for Cyndaquil to be ambushed by Team Rocket. Piplup fires a Whirlpool and Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, canceling the lockdown and sending Team Rocket running off. The Trainers and Pokémon reunite. However Piplup and Cyndaquil begin fighting over Dawn's attention again, so she calls Cyndaquil back to its Poké Ball. Before they leave, Ash and his friends wake Benjamin up to inform him they leaving now. Benjamin wishes them all the best before returning to his nap.

The group steps outside to find that it is night time. But suddenly, a blinding light flashes, which turns out to be a giant Magcargo mecha built by Team Rocket which was being powered up by the power cord. Jessie orders the cannon be fired, sending the twerps running. However the energy pulse also drained the robot's battery to almost empty. Vulnerable, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, sending Team Rocket blasting off and saving the day.

Trivia

Errors

Lyra's miscolored hat
  • During the original Cartoon Network airing, there is a quick blackout during the title screen.
  • During the scene where Lyra is talking to Dawn, the line on her hat is colored white instead of pink.
  • About halfway through the episode, everyone starts waving at the security cameras. The camera to the left of Ash and his friends in front of the sleeping man shows a corridor. However, when Team Rocket enters the room, the camera appears to have moved to another room, showing the corner of a corridor where Pikachu, Piplup, and Cyndaquil are.
  • In the Polish dub, Khoury and Ash erroneously refer to the Valley Windworks as "Valley of Winds".

Dub edits

  • In the Hindi dub on Marvel HQ/Hungama TV, the scene where Lyra asks Dawn about her relationship with Ash is completely skipped. Also, Lyra often refers to Dawn as "Dane".
  • In the English dub, after Team Rocket plugs in their mecha, James says that it will take several hours for it to power up. In the original Japanese version, he specifies that it will take three hours.
  • In the English dub, the food Ash and his friends eat is called cookies. In the original Japanese version, it is called biscuits.
