{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|the others}} continue their journey, this time stopping at [[Wales Island]], a crescent moon-shaped island. Ash and {{an|May}} can't wait to stop and do more training for their next battles. | |||
On the beach, | On the beach, May and Ash immediately begin their training, with Ash having {{AP|Pikachu}} practice some of its attacks on a floating log. Soon, May happily exclaims that her {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} has finally learned {{m|Petal Dance}}. Sure enough, Bulbasaur is able to use the move to slice a hole through an incoming wave. | ||
Meanwhile, Max is out by himself gathering firewood in the forest | Meanwhile, [[Max]] is out by himself gathering firewood in the forest when spots a {{p|Cradily}}. Max screams and the Pokemon runs off. Hearing the scream, the others come running and Max explains what he saw. {{an|Brock}} says that Cradily is supposed to be extinct. As Ash looks for the Pokémon, May suggests that maybe he mistook it for another Pokemon. Suddenly, a {{p|Breloom}} appears, and everyone assumes that this is what Max saw. | ||
Max | Max insists that he really saw a Cradily and runs off, anxious to prove them wrong. As he explores the forest, Max comes across a mansion with what appears to be a laboratory inside. Through the window, he's also able to see that there are many {{p|Lileep}} inside, which are the [[Evolution|pre-evolved]] form of Cradily. Suddenly Max is caught by a man in a lab coat. | ||
Ash and the others | As Ash and the others look for Max in the forest, a {{p|Cradily}} appears behind them! A woman in a lab coat quickly follows it, and Brock falls madly in love. The woman introduces herself as [[Annie Proctor]], and ask what they're doing in the forest. {{Ash}} and {{an|May}} explain what happened, and Annie thinks Max probably ended up at the laboratory. | ||
Everyone is taken to the lab, where Max is waiting | Everyone is taken to the lab, where Max is waiting with [[Professor Proctor]], Annie's husband. Brock is crushed to find out she's married. There they see the Lileep, and May wonders how they could be there since they're supposed to be extinct. Annie and Prof. Proctor explain that the Pokémon were cloned from fossils, and the gang are eager to learn more. Outside, [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] spy on everyone and listen in. | ||
Professor Proctor | Professor Proctor begins to explain that when they were alive, {{p|Lileep}}, {{p|Cradily}}, {{p|Anorith}}, and {{p|Armaldo}} lived on a peninsula, that has since broken off to become an [[Wales Island]]. Once the land was isolated, the Pokemon became extinct. They also found nearby fossils of fruit that are believed to be their main source of food. Professor Proctor then explains that they were able to extract Lileep from the [[Claw and Root Fossils|Root Fossil]], while Anorith was extracted from a [[Claw and Root Fossils|Claw Fossil]]. Professor Proctor thinks that he'll be famous for the work he's done with the ancient Pokémon, but Annie tells the kids that they haven't made any official announcement to the scientific world at the moment. Outside, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} begin plotting to steal the Pokemon. | ||
Back in the lab, Annie exclaims that an {{p|Anorith}} is ready to evolve, so the gang gathers to watch. After its successful evolution into an {{p|Armaldo}}, a net appears and grabs Armaldo. Team Rocket begin to gleefully reel in their catch, but Armaldo uses {{m|Metal Claw}} to break free of the net and uses {{m|Water Gun}} on Team Rocket, breaking them through the wall of the lab and blasting them off again. Unfortunately Armaldo is enraged and turns its Water Gun on Ash and the rest of the lab before storming outside. | |||
Ash and the others begin to give chase into the forest, confused as to why Armaldo turned on them. They soon find Armaldo chewing on some fruit, unable to find any it likes. When they try to convince it to come back to the lab, it launches another Water Gun, which everyone is able to dodge. {{AP|Pikachu}} tries to explain things to Armaldo, and the group decide that maybe having Pokemon of the same type talk to it would help. So since May's {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and Brock's {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} share Armaldo's {{type2|Bug}} traits, they are sent out to talk. | |||
The talks fail, however, when Armaldo uses {{m|Metal Claw}} attack on the Pokémon. They're all able to dogde, but Ash decides to try battling it, and calls on his {{AP|Corphish}} and orders it to use {{m|Crabhammer}} on Armaldo. Armaldo merely swats Corphish away. Meanwhile the Professor notes Armaldo's dislike of the nearby fruit. Corphish recovers and uses {{m|BubbleBeam}}, but Armaldo counters it with a Water Gun attack and succeeds in blasting through Corphish's attack and ending the battle. As Ash tends to Corphish, Armaldo uses Metal Claw to burrow into the ground and escape. | |||
As May wonders if {{p|Armaldo}} is looking for something, [[Professor Proctor]] theorizes that it is looking for the fruit the species ate when the island was still a peninsula. Today, the berries only exist at the very tip of the crescent-shaped island. | |||
At the edge of the island, Armaldo arrives, as does Ash and the gang. However, it's grabbed by a {{TP|Team Rocket|Team Rocket mecha|mechas}} before it gets a chance to eat! The mecha is a tank-type machine with arms, and it's supposed to be super-strong. After Team Rocket says {{TP|Team Rocket|their motto|mottos}}, Meowth says that they should go back to the lab to grab the Lileep there, so the tank-mecha makes its way to the lab. Professor Proctor doesn't give up, though, and he chases the tank until he's close enough to jump on the back. The Armaldo inside hears the thud created by Professor Proctor's landing and tries to {{m|scratch}} its way out of its container, but [[James]] (who's with the others in a cockpit separated from the containment area) repeats that the mecha was built to be super strong. Outside, Professor Proctor tries to talk to Armaldo. Unfortunately for him, James notices that they have a stowaway, so he drives erratically in order to shake the doctor off. Professor Proctor still clings on, so James has the mecha's arms grab him and toss him off the mecha. The doctor lands with a thud in front of Ash and the others, who are trying their best to keep up with the mecha. | At the edge of the island, Armaldo arrives, as does Ash and the gang.
