BW020: Difference between revisions

On their way to [[Castelia City]], {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} decide to train, Ash pitting his {{AP|Scraggy}} against Iris's {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. The Pokémon stare ferociously at one another as Ash calls for a {{m|Headbutt}} attack and Iris calls for {{m|Scratch}}. The two Pokémon dramatically charge at one another, and Scraggy headbutts Axew causing it to grab its head in pain. Axew quickly recovers and uses {{m|Scratch}}, but the move misses entirely. Instead, it causes Scraggy's "pants" to fall down and the Molting Pokémon quickly grabs them and pulls them back up causing Axew to laugh hysterically. Both Ash and Iris laugh nervously at the battle proceedings. Ash then calls for Scraggy to use {{m|Leer}}. Scraggy launches forward with the attack and inches closer and closer until Axew flinches. Ash gasps and nervously makes a comment to Pikachu. Iris gets pumped and tells Axew to use {{m|Dragon Rage}} which causes Ash and {{an|Cilan}}, who is preparing lunch, to jump in fear. Axew charges up to attack and ends up "sneezing" causing a large explosion. Axew looks around confusedly as Iris comes and picks it up. Cilan announces that lunch is ready, and Ash and Iris decide that it is enough training for today. From the grass, a {{p|Ducklett}} looks at the trio.  

Turns out, [[Sunglasses Sandile]] is responsible for digging the hole, which ends through the side of a cliff. Sandile hops away from the hole just as Ash and Pikachu come tumbling out, crash landing onto the ground below. Ash asks if Pikachu is okay as the Sandile makes its presence known. Ash has a flashback and recalls the Sandile is the Sunglasses Sandile from the hot springs and realizes it dug the hole because it wants to battle Pikachu.  

Ash has Pikachu attack Sandile, but his electric attacks won't work against the part Ground-type. In the middle of their battle, a Ducklett interferes. Ducklett picks on Sandile, poking it in the nose with its wing, causing Sandile to sneeze. Sandile's sunglasses bounce off of its face, landing on Ducklett's. Sandile attempts to attack, but Ducklett blasts Sandile backward with a spray of water, sending Sandile crashing into Ash and Pikachu. The three are slumped against a tree as Ducklett flees. Ash, Pikachu, and Sandile decide to go after it. While moving through the forest, Sandile is startled by a clan of {{p|Woobat}} that fly past, and it leaps into Ash's arms. Ash calms Sandile down, placing it back onto the ground.  

A Ducklett suddenly swoops past and snatches Ash's hat right off of his head. Ash tries to attack but Ducklett fires an {{m|Ice Beam}} at them. Ash leaps out of the way, and Sandile leaps into his arms, dodging the ray of ice. Ash, Sandile, and Pikachu run after the Ducklett. That Ducklett meets with the one that took Sandile's glasses, and Pikachu shocks them with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. They fall over. Victorious, Ash, Pikachu and Sandile rush after them, but the third Ducklett, who took Cilan's pan, rams into them with {{m|Wing Attack}}, sending the three of them to the ground. The pan Ducklett fires a Scald attack at Sandile and Ash.  Ash tosses Sandile aside and takes the full brunt of the attack, scalding his face. Shortly thereafter, the Ducklett that took Ash's hat freezes Ash with Ice Beam. Sandile breaks the ice with its teeth and Ash is now more determined than ever to get these Ducklett.  

They chase the Ducklett to a tree containing plenty of household items that they toss at them. Ash, Pikachu, and Sandile dodge the thrown items, and Ash has Pikachu attack the Ducklett when he is hit in the face with a soccer ball. One of the Ducklett drops an umbrella that snaps shut on Pikachu as he fires an electric attack, trapping himself inside. Pikachu shocks himself, and Ash attempts to free him, grabbing the umbrella, causing Pikachu to shock Ash. Sandile frees Pikachu, who is tired out and unable to attack the Ducklett. Ash picks up his sickly Pikachu, who sets off sparks from his cheeks that end up lightly shocking Ash. The Ducklett spray water simultaneously at them, and leap into the forest in an attempt to escape.

Iris, Oshawott, and Scraggy continue searching for Ash, and meet up with Cilan, who scales the side of the cliff. They decide to keep looking. Meanwhile, Ash, Pikachu, and Sandile watch from the bushes as the Ducklett joke around, waiting for the right opportunity to attack them and get their things back. They decide to approach with a more negotiative manner, asking for their things back. The Ducklett that took Sandile's sunglasses steps forward, looking ready to return what is rightfully Sandile's, before cruelly spraying Ash, Pikachu, and Sandile backward. Ash, having had enough, wants Pikachu to zap the Ducklett again, but Pikachu can't attack, Ash realizing the umbrella closing on Pikachu must have had effects on Pikachu's electric attacks.

The group gathers their stuff together, Cilan gets his pan, Ash his hat, and Sandile its sunglasses. The group heads to the Pokémon Center, where Ash heals all of his Pokémon, along with Sandile. Sandile and Pikachu have a battle, with Sandile gaining the upperhand after evolving into a {{p|Krokorok}}. When Krokorok fires a {{m|Stone Edge}} attack, Pikachu's Electro Ball attack sends the rocks flying back, hitting Krokorok and sending it blasting off once again. Iris and Cilan congratulate Ash on the battle, admiring Pikachu's new attack and the group continues on their way to Castelia City.

* The way {{P|Ducklett}} and {{P|Krokorok}} get blasted off by Thunderbolt is similar to how Team Rocket blasted off prior to the ''Best Wishes'' series.

* When Pikachu and Sandile start fighting again and Sandile use Stone Edge, Sandile's sunglasses are missing.
