BW088: Difference between revisions

During their stay in Undella Town, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} spot a young boy named {{OBP|Chris|BW088}} frantically searching for his Pokémon {{p|Cubchoo}}.   Concerned, the gang offer to help. {{an|Cilan}} takes out his detective equipment and begins an investigation of Cubchoo's Pokémon House. He ponders if it's possible that Cubchoo was kidnapped. Chris tells him it's impossible since there are security cameras and burglar alarms along the walls of the outside perimeter.   

The gang spot a hole dug under the wall that's big enough for a small Pokémon to go through. Both {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} are able to crawl under the wall and onto the other side into the forest. Cilan comes up with several scenarios as the Pokémon notice a trail of food remains leading into the forest. They alert their Trainers and the humans follow the trail. At the end of the trail is a sleeping {{p|Beartic}} with food remains scattered around it.   

After Ash scans it with his Pokédex, Cilan concurs that Cubchoo must have evolved and tells Chris to call back his Pokémon. Chris attempts to do so but it doesn't work indicating that the Beartic isn't his. Soon Chris's Cubchoo and a wild {{p|Larvitar}} are seen running out of a nearby bush and chasing each other playfully. Chris is reunited with Cubchoo and Cilan explains that Larvitar must have let Cubchoo out of the Pokémon House. {{an|Iris}} and Ash ask if Chris ever had a Pokémon Battle before and he replies that he hasn't.

Iris explains that battles are how Pokémon grow. Ash challenges Larvitar to a battle with {{AP|Scraggy}} and Larvitar accepts. Scraggy runs towards Cubchoo with a menacing look as Ash points out Larvitar is his opponent. Chris and Cubchoo watch as Ash starts the battle. Scraggy uses {{m|Headbutt}} and Larvitar attacks back with {{m|Bite}}. Cubchoo cheers for Larvitar as Iris praises good friendship. Ash orders Scraggy to push Larvitar off and use {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}. Scraggy misses as Larvitar retaliates with {{m|Sandstorm}}.

Ash orders a {{m|Focus Blast}} and Larvitar counters with {{m|Hidden Power}}. They both get hit and are too tired to fight anymore which results in a draw. After the battle, Cubchoo punches the air with a competitive look on its face indicating it is rearing to go too. Chris smiles and tells it maybe later and that they should go home first. Larvitar and Cubchoo throw fake punches at each other in playful way as Ash and Chris talk about Chris starting a journey. After encouragement from everyone, Chris states that one day he will go on a journey of his own with Cubchoo and Larvitar.  The group bids farewell and thanks.
