AG008: Difference between revisions

Torchic gets over-excited and runs around with an apple on its head and a bunch of grapes in its mouth. Seviper trips Torchic up using its tail, causing Torchic to drop the grapes. Torchic runs off after the apple, which fell off its head. It stops in front of the apple and dances happily, before noticing the huge snake Pokémon on the other side of the apple. Seviper eats the apple and Torchic gets angry. Seviper attacks Torchic and Treecko tries to save the tiny bird, but gets knocked back. Seviper hits Torchic around using its tail.

As the others rush up to help, Seviper uses its {{m|Haze}} attack so that they can't see what it's doing. Treecko sees that there is a gap at the top of the haze, so it jumps up into a tree again and sees Torchic being captive by Seviper's tail. It jumps down onto Seviper's head and Seviper drops Torchic. Treecko picks Torchic up and delivers it to {{an|May}}. Seviper gets furious and uses {{m|Poison Tail}} on Treecko, scoring a direct hit straight into a tree. As Seviper is about to hit Treecko again, Ash commands Taillow and Pikachu to use {{m|Wing Attack}} and {{m|ThunderShock}} respectively, Brock's Forretress uses {{m|Spikes}}.

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] have been watching, and seeing the way Seviper almost effortlessly dispatched the Pokémon decide they want to capture it. They see that it likes fruit, so they lure it with a basket of fruit left on the other side of a trap hole. Seviper just picks up the basket with its tail, stretching over the trapdoor, and glides away. Team Rocket get mad and jump out from the bushes, straight onto the trapdoor, and fall in. Their plan using a net doesn't work either; Seviper just bites through the net.

Back at the Pokémon Center, Ash and Pikachu are observing Treecko. Meanwhile, the Rockets have lunch, during which they fight over the last rice ball. When they accidentally send it flying into the nearby brook, James and Meowth freak out, but [[Jessie]] calmly breaks out a rice ball she'd hidden "just in case", angering her partners. However, Seviper sneaks up on her and swipes the rice ball just seconds before she chomps down on it. Jessie gets mad and sends out {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} (The only Pokémon she has after releasing her Arbok) and commands it to "teach that thieving Seviper a lesson". Wobbuffet obeys, but as it can't attack until something or someone else attacks it first, nothing happens. [[James]] soon points this out after a moment, and a frustrated Jessie recalls Wobbuffet, grumbling about how it's "never useful when necessary". She then grabs Meowth and hurls him at Seviper, commanding a {{m|Double-Edge}} attack. As he soars towards Seviper, Meowth screams that he doesn't know that attack just before the Fang Snake Pokémon smacks him across the face with its tail, sending him flying backwards into his comrades.

At the Pokémon Center, Brock is explaining Nurse Joy's position in the family to May (she's the younger sister of the second cousin of Nurse Joy in [[Oldale Town]]'s first cousin) when {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} rushes in and indicates that Treecko ran away from the Center. Ash and his friends run out, calling for it, and see it jumping down a waterfall, onto a rock, and into the water. They realize that it's training, trying to break the rock with its tail. After a few more jumps Treecko has an idea. It spins to increase its power before hitting the rock, finally breaking it, much to the amazement of the group. Ash congratulates Treecko and runs out with Pikachu to meet it, but Pikachu gets captured by Team Rocket.

James sends out {{TP|James|Cacnea}} against Taillow, and yells as Cacnea hugs him, ordering it to use {{m|Pin Missile}}, to which Taillow dodges successfully. Jessie then sends out Seviper, and the "twerps" are surprised to see that it's the same one that faced them before. Treecko, after Ash's short speech, faces up to it, and after an exchange of attacks between Seviper's Poison Tail and Treecko's {{m|Quick Attack}} and uses its new spinning move, defeating it and rescuing Pikachu. It says that now it's had its revenge, Pikachu can finish it off, so Pikachu uses {{m|Thunder}} to send the Rockets flying. Ash thanks Treecko for battling for him, and finds he's won Treecko's trust when Treecko turns and holds out its tail. Ash and Pikachu shake hands with Treecko's tail, laughing happily.
