DP025: Difference between revisions

They go to [[Pick a Peck of Colors Flower Shop|the location]] as a {{p|Lotad}} and {{p|Roserade}} take care of the garden. Ash calls inside the house as Dawn notices that he is scaring a nearby Roserade. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]]. A woman steps out and asks if they are taking the cooking class, introducing herself as [[Forsythia]]. Brock is instantly attracted to her, but {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} calms him with {{m|Poison Jab}} and drags him away. She brings them in and gives a quick demo on making Poffins generally. Dawn uses her [[Pokétch]] {{DL|Pokétch|Kitchen Timer}} App to help cook Poffins to the appropriate measure. Forsythia remarks on her solid knowledge, Dawn mentioning her experiences with her mother. Brock tries to talk about helping his family out, but Croagunk's presence is enough to calm him down. Dawn’s timer beeps and she spreads the Poffin onto the mold platter. Meanwhile, Ash is struggling, almost spilling the batter but winding up burning it instead. Everyone finishes making Poffins at the same time, and all three of them bring out their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon}} tries her Poffins, but all three find them horrible. {{cat|Brock's Pokémon}} like his Poffin, but {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} eats Forsythia's Poffins since his are burnt. He tries to eat them all himself, but he finds it obviously disgusting. Forsythia tries to reassure Ash as Dawn chases {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, sending one of Dawn’s Poffins outside. It rolls up to {{MTR}} and the Pokémon eats it, instantly perking him up and making him happy. Dawn and Ash wash dishes as Forsythia explains to Dawn that each Pokémon has a Poffin preference and that there is a unique recipe for each. Copying her mother’s recipe would be fine for her {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}}, but it is ill suited for other Pokémon. Meanwhile, Team Rocket decides to take the Poffins to get rich.

Forsythia prepares the group some tea as Roserade serves the plate, but quickly backs away scared. She mentions that Roserade has been very shy and nervous for as long as she remembers. She brings up the story of meeting Roserade, back as a {{p|Budew}}, in a [[Pokémon Center]]. Budew went with Forsythia when it saw the flowers she was holding. Forsythia gave Budew a red scarf to keep it warm, and it quickly [[Evolution|evolved]] to {{p|Roselia}} and finally Roserade.  

Suddenly, a giant explosion gets their attention as one of [[Team Rocket's mechas]] steals all the Berries and destroys the garden. Team Rocket recites their {{motto}}. [[Ash's Pikachu]] uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but it has no effect. [[Jessie's Dustox]] and [[James's Carnivine]] come out, but when Carnivine latches onto James, he sends out {{TP|James|Cacnea}}, but both latch onto him. Dustox uses {{m|Poison Sting}} as Brock's Croagunk uses his own Poison Sting to block it. [[Dawn's Piplup]] uses {{m|BubbleBeam}} and [[Ash's Turtwig]] uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but Cacnea’s {{m|Pin Missile}} and Carnivine’s {{m|Bullet Seed}} blocks the attacks. Roserade runs off and gets the red scarf, quickly exuding confidence. {{AP|Aipom}} attacks with {{m|Swift}}, but {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} uses {{m|Mirror Coat}} to block. {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} uses {{m|Ice Beam}} but Cacnea uses {{m|Sandstorm}} to block. Team Rocket attempts to leave, but Roserade suddenly attacks with Magical Leaf. Team Rocket remembers last night and associates Roserade with the figure that attacked them. Forsythia recognizes the red scarf and wonders why Roserade is suddenly so aggressive. Lotad talks and Meowth translates that Roserade protects the orchard from bad guys and puts on the scarf to gain confidence.  

Ash sends Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}} to rock the mecha, but Meowth deploys baskets to lock everyone but Forsythia down. Dustox uses {{m|Gust}} to pin Roserade, but it jumps off the roof. Meowth tries to take the scarf off Roserade, but Roserade resists. James sends {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} to use {{m|Tickle}} on Roserade. It works and the scarf comes off, sending Roserade to the ground in fear. Team Rocket attempts to take off, taking Roserade with them. Forsythia runs to block them from leaving, as the others are helpless to help her. Forsythia convinces Roserade that it is powerful even without the scarf. Roserade snaps out of fear and breaks free of the grip, using {{m|Petal Dance}} to shear the tires and the baskets, freeing Ash and his friends. The group attacks with Piplup’s BubbleBeam and Croagunk’s Poison Sting. Pikachu's {{m|Iron Tail}} cuts the basket and releases the captured Berries. Roserade’s Petal Dance sends Team Rocket blasting off a second time.
