EP225: Difference between revisions

Carter and the group enter the waiting blimp, and {{TRT}} decide to sneak aboard as well. The trio enter through the cargo hold, but find it to be a little stuffy. {{MTR}} points out a mysterious door, and it turns out to be a freezer room. The trio happily enters, seeking refuge from the heat, though the door latches shut behind them and effectively traps them in.

Tracey, Oak, and Bulbasaur set off to the lake. Along the way, {{AP|Heracross}} flies in and makes a v-line for Bulbasaur's bulb. It begins suckling for nectar, resulting in Bulbasaur whipping Heracross with a {{m|Vine Whip}}. After arriving, Bulbasaur rushes into the three way conflict and tries to negotiate with each of the parties. Though its negotiation attempts fail. The three fronts turn on Bulbasaur and go onto attack it. Tracey sends his three Pokémon to end the fight, and Heracross enters as well. Though the fight ends when Bulbasaur releases a blinding {{m|Solar Beam}} straight into the sky. Stunned, all the {{t|Grass}} Pokémon learn to respect Bulbasaur and each other. They exchange a "peace dance" to commemorate their new truce, and Tracey films the entire exchange. However, the Water-types are still feeling uneasy towards the Grass Pokémon.

The group's blimp arrives at Moomoo Ranch. Carter bids Ash and his friends a farewell as he drives off. Soon, Team Rocket break open the blimp’s fridge door, but emerge frozen. As the blimp takes off again, the Rocket trio slide out of a hatch door and plummet towards the ground. Later, Oak updates Ash that he will need Bulbasaur for a while longer as the Water Pokémon continue to fight with the Grass-types. Tracey adds that a new grass field will be constructed, but this will take some time to complete. Ash agrees to leave Bulbasaur at the lab, and thanks it for helping the Professor out.

The Professor, Tracey and Bulbasaur venture out into the field once again. Tracey calls on his {{TP|Tracey|Marill}}'s assistance, and it soon finds a potential underground spring. Bulbasaur calls out, and its booming cry summons all of the Grass-types over. Bulbasaur announces to them that this site will be their new home. It promptly sends outs a {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut an outline of the new lake and uses its vines to dig it out. The Grass Pokémon begin to dig into the ground. Bulbasaur soon hits a tough rock layer. It isn’t giving up though, and it runs off to gather the perfect team; a group of {{p|Poliwhirl}} and {{p|Sandslash}}. The choice puzzles the Professor and Tracey. The watch in amazement as the Poliwhirl soften the bedrock with their {{m|Water Gun}} attacks, while the Sandslash {{m|Dig}} into the ground. Delia and Mimey later arrive to deliver lunch for the hardworking Pokémon. Work soon grinds to a halt after one of the Sandslash uncovers a giant boulder wedged into the ground. Bulbasaur lassos its vines around the obstacle and the other Pokémon help it to pull the rock out of the way. Tracey considers helping the Pokémon out, but Oak and Delia remind him that the project has brought all of the once warring Pokémon to collaborate. The boulder eventually gives way allowing Bulbasaur and the others to finally heave it out. The Sandslash suddenly rush out of their pit and soon the underground water begins to fill it. As the Pokémon cheer, the ground collapses underneath an Oddish and the giant boulder. Bulbasaur jumps into action and manages to throw Oddish to safety.  

Instead Bulbasaur finds itself in the rolling boulders path. Time appears to slow down and everyone watches the unfolding scene in horror. An almighty smash sound is heard, and Bulbasaur reflects on its life. Ash awakens from a daytime nap. He looks into the sky to see a cloud which reminds him of his Bulbasaur. Meanwhile, Oak and Tracey manages to push the rock into the growing lake. They scour the area, but Bulbasaur is nowhere to be seen. Oak calls out. Everyone gasps when Bulbasaur emerges from the dirt, seemingly unscathed. It jumps up the escarpment and shakes itself clean of the muck. The Grass-types are thrilled to have their hero and throw Bulbasaur into the air several times as a show of gratitude. Tracey marvels that Bulbasaur cannot usually learn the [[move]] Dig, but Oak notes that in times of need, it is possible to call upon power never known to it previously.
