<i>Ash and friends are in a town close to Petalburg City, when their picnic is gobbled up by a passing Gulpin. They overhear an emergency announcement instructing everyone to evacuate. | |||
The kids and a local shopkeeper are accosted by a large group of Gulpin. Officer Jenny saves them, bringing the friends back to the Pokémon Center. They meet Nurse Joy and Professor Jacuzzi, who are working to stop the Gulpin from eating all of the town's food supplies. | |||
The professor's first plan involves a giant PokéBlock to lead the Gulpin away. Team Rocket tries to steal the PokéBlock, but their balloon is shot down by the Gulpin. The Gulpin follow the PokéBlock out of town. | |||
The Gulpin try to return through the sewer, but Jenny and Joy block the way. The Gulpin emerge onto the street. Professor Jacuzzi arrives with a device that beams them up and shoots them away, but it breaks down with one Gulpin left to go. Ash sends Treecko out to battle and the machine restarts, grabbing both Pokémon. It explodes, and the two of them become oversized. | |||
To avoid destroying the town, Treecko leads Gulpin to a lake, but is too tired to battle (shrinking back to normal). May suggests capturing Gulpin in a Poké Ball. Nurse Joy gives the professor a Heavy Ball, and he captures the Gulpin, vowing to restore it to its normal size.</i> | |||
==Plot== | |||
{{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Max]] are having lunch in a park, next to a large harbor city somewhere in [[Hoenn]] between {{to|Verdanturf}} and [[Petalburg City]]. Brock reads from the guidebook about how they are very close to Petalburg, and Ash says through a mouthful of food how eager is he to be able to battle [[Norman]] again. Max warns Ash about how strong Norman is, while May is excited about being able to eat [[Caroline|their mom]]'s cooking again. As May reaches for her sandwich, a round, pea-green slug-like Pokémon slides by and inhales it with a deep "GULP" sound before she can grab it. It does the same to Max's, Brock's and Ash's sandwiches, as well as {{AP|Pikachu}}'s bowl of food, as they all look on in surprise and confusion. The Pokémon slides away a short distance, then turns around and swallows hard, spitting out Pikachu's empty bowl afterwards. The group stands up in amazement, with Ash bringing out his [[Pokédex]] to scan the creature. | {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Max]] are having lunch in a park, next to a large harbor city somewhere in [[Hoenn]] between {{to|Verdanturf}} and [[Petalburg City]].

Max is upset about how it ate their entire lunch, but May thinks it's cute. The group looks up in unison when they hear an alarm; the Gulpin slides away while their attention is diverted. A female voice over a nearby loudspeaker is ordering the population of the city to make an emergency evacuation. Ash wonders where everyone is expected to be able to evacuate to. | ||

A loud scream pierces the air, and Ash turns to see where it came from. A woman in a pink uniform similar to a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}'s clothes is backed up against the wall, inside a building. Ash and company rush in, finding her, and ask her what's wrong. The woman points to a swarm of Gulpin which are chowing down on loaves of bread; this is a bakery, and the Gulpin are devouring the woman's entire stock. Ash orders Pikachu to attack the Gulpin, but Pikachu freezes when two of the Stomach Pokémon jump him, followed by the rest which form a dogpile on him. Ash knocks away Gulpin to try to retrieve his Pokémon, finally pulling a knocked-out Pikachu out of the pile. May cries out as several more Gulpin come pouring into the room through the air vents along the ceiling. The group, along with the woman, are soon nearly smothered by the horde of Gulpin. A sharp whistle from outside gets Brock's attention, who recognizes it as [[Officer Jenny]]'s police whistle before he gets dragged down into the mob. Officer Jenny then appears in front of the bakery, commanding her {{P|Tangela}} to use {{m|Vine Whip}} to drag everyone, nearly out of breath, out from the mob. The Gulpin then slide out as one into the street, leaving the bakery behind for a new food source. | ||
Ash thanks Jenny for rescuing them, and Jenny warns them that it is too dangerous for them to remain in the city. The bakery owner promises to leave, but May and Max tell Jenny that they need a place to rest. Jenny asks that they follow her to the local [[Pokémon Center]]. When they arrive, they find [[Nurse Joy]] manning a control panel that is monitoring the city, confirming that the evacuation was complete and that measures to remove the Gulpin from the city were about to be launched. Ash comments that he had never seen a Pokémon Center like this, and Joy tells him that it had been specially outfitted to be a center for defense against Gulpin attacks. At May's question as to what that means, an old, bespectacled, bearded man, dressed in the attire of a Pokémon Professor, enters the room and tells the group that the local Gulpin population is rising again. Jenny introduces the man as [[Professor Jacuzzi]], a specialist on Gulpin research. She goes on to explain that Gulpin attack the town around this time every year, devouring all of the food in the city, and that this year, the defense center's goal is to rid the town of Gulpin for good. Jacuzzi points out on a map where he knows the Gulpin are headed: the city's main food storage, in the center of town. He tells the group that he has been working on something that will "stop the Gulpin right in their tracks". Jenny then picks up an alarm on the system that shows the crowd of Gulpin moving toward the city's center. She calls for the launch of the "immobilization" maneuver. Ash asks if there is some way he can help. | Ash thanks Jenny for rescuing them, and Jenny warns them that it is too dangerous for them to remain in the city.

Soon, Jenny and the group have positioned themselves at the end of a bridge leading toward the city center, with a large, armored vehicle parked behind them. They watch as the Gulpin mob comes stampeding in their direction. Once they are within sight, Jenny calls for the attack, and Jacuzzi, inside a complex control station inside the vehicle, launches a missile at the mob.

They watch as the Gulpin mob comes stampeding in their direction. Once they are within sight, Jenny calls for the attack, and Jacuzzi, inside a complex control station inside the vehicle, launches a missile at the mob. The missile breaks apart in midair, revealing a device that appears to contain three massive [[Pokéblock]]s. The Professor climbs out of the vehicle to explain the giant Pokéblocks as being his own special blend, developed over several years, and are composed of all the ingredients which attract Gulpin. As the Gulpin leap to devour it, Jacuzzi activates a helicopter rotor on the device, which spins and carries the device up and away from the Gulpin. It flies off along the bridge, leading the Gulpin away from the city center. | ||
As Jacuzzi celebrates his achievement, however, a giant mechanical hand reaches down and grabs the device, bending the rotor. The group looks up to see | As Jacuzzi celebrates his achievement, however, a giant mechanical hand reaches down and grabs the device, bending the rotor. The group looks up to see {{TRT}} in their balloon, who recite their motto. Jenny and the others tell Team Rocket that the Pokéblocks are needed to help get rid of the Gulpin, but the thieving trio only laugh and claim that since they found it flying through the air, it rightfully belongs to them. Just then, the Gulpin attack as one, firing globs of {{M|sludge}} from their mouths at the balloon, quickly coating it in brown gunk and weighing it down, causing it to crash down on the opposite end of the bridge. [[Jessie]], indignant, stands up holding the Pokéblock device over her head, while the rest of Team Rocket gets ready to fight the Gulpin. The Gulpin respond by using {{m|Stockpile}}, glowing purple as they do so, then launch a group {{m|Spit Up}} attack, firing bright purple beams at Team Rocket. The beams connect and cause an explosion, sending Team Rocket blasting off again. | ||
Brock leaps to catch the device (with some difficulty) while Jacuzzi commends the Stockpile and Spit Up combination attack. Max stops him to point out that the Gulpin are stampeding towards Brock, who is still holding the device. Jenny calls out her Tangela, {{P|Meganium}}, and {{P|Parasect}} and orders them to use Vine Whip, {{m|Razor Leaf}}, and {{m|Stun Spore}}, respectively. The attacks knock the Gulpin mob back, but Max is worried that the {{ | Brock leaps to catch the device (with some difficulty) while Jacuzzi commends the Stockpile and Spit Up combination attack.

The attacks knock the Gulpin mob back, but Max is worried that the {{t|Poison}} types' resistance to {{type|Grass}} attacks will give them the advantage. Ash sends out his {{AP|Treecko}} to help; the Gulpin launch several Sludge attacks at Treecko, who leaps to dodge them all. Ash commands Treecko to use {{m|Bullet Seed}}, which knocks the Gulpin back again. Jacuzzi then activates a rocket on the device (nearly singeing Brock, who lets go of it quickly) which sends the device flying off along the river beneath the bridge, and the Gulpin mob follows, leaping into the water to give chase. The group watches the Gulpin leave, with Ash and May feeling like the worst is over. Jenny, however, recommends that they get back to the defense center. | ||
Later that evening, Team Rocket is wandering around the outskirts of the city, complaining of hunger. They happen upon the Pokéblock device, now stripped bare, laying on the bank of the river. In the distance, they see the mob of Gulpin headed back toward the city. {{MTR}} recommends that they follow the Gulpin, which will most probably lead them towards a place where there is food. | Later that evening, Team Rocket is wandering around the outskirts of the city, complaining of hunger.

The Gulpin splashes down, and Treecko jumps in after it, getting ambushed as the Gulpin suddenly surfaces right in front of it and knocks it down. Treecko manages to get back up, and the two have a second staring match as the group watches from a rescue boat. They notice Treecko breathing heavily and realize that it must be getting very tired. Max cries out as the Gulpin uses Stockpile to prepare for another Spit Up attack, and Treecko leaps as the beam tears through the water where he was standing before, busting a hole in the concrete wall. Treecko starts to glow in midair as the effects of the Cannon's malfunction wear off, and he lands on the boat near the group, back to normal size and panting in exhaustion. Joy comments on how the intensity of the battle Treecko just fought had "brought him down to size", while Ash brings out Treecko's Poké Ball and recalls him to take a rest. | The Gulpin splashes down, and Treecko jumps in after it, getting ambushed as the Gulpin suddenly surfaces right in front of it and knocks it down.

Jacuzzi admits defeat, having used up every available resource. But then, May suggests that they try to capture it with a [[Poké Ball]], saying that no matter how big it is, it should still fit inside a Ball since it is still a Pokémon. Jacuzzi steps forth and tosses a Poké Ball at the Gulpin, and it goes inside, only to come right back out. However, Joy offers Jacuzzi a {{ball|Heavy}}, which he tosses, and is able to successfully capture the Gulpin. | ||
As morning comes around, Brock asks Jacuzzi whether or not the Gulpin would have turned back to normal as a result of being captured. Assured that it should be back to its normal size, Jacuzzi calls out the Gulpin, only to find that it is still giant. Jenny screams at Jacuzzi to recall the Gulpin, and he does so. Jacuzzi assures them that with his 50 years worth of Gulpin knowledge, he should be able to find some way to return the Gulpin to its normal state. Assured of this, the group looks on as the sun rises. | As morning comes around, Brock asks Jacuzzi whether or not the Gulpin would have turned back to normal as a result of being captured.
