The episode opens with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} crossing a rickety bridge to reach a nearby town. As {{AP|Pikachu}} eagerly crosses the old wooden bridge, the planks break under the small Pokémon's weight, and Pikachu nearly plummets into the river! However, with a feat of acrobatics, Pikachu manages to leap from the dangerous bridge onto Ash's head. As Ash recovers from the blow, he looks up and an {{p|Absol}} -- a Pokémon known for heralding disaster -- is standing just on the other side of the broken bridge! As Ash postulates that Absol's appearance is related to the destruction of the bridge, two armed villagers approach the Absol and begin to shout angrily at the Pokémon, claiming it's "another bridge" that Absol has destroyed. Absol evades capture easily, and Ash and company leave for the nearby town to inquire about Absol further. Apparently, a spate of minor disasters, including the destruction of three bridges, started with Absol's appearance several months ago. The villagers say that their problems should soon be over, though, because they've hired "expert Absol hunters" ({{TRT}} in disguise with ridiculous accents) to rid the village of their problems. Meanwhile, Team Rocket decides to capture Pikachu instead of Absol (reasoning that giving Absol to the boss would result in disasters for them). | |||
Right before Team Rocket is about to leave with Ash, though, a boy, [[Nicky]] appears and shouts at Team Rocket, claiming that Absol would never be caught by their likes. It's soon revealed that Nicky's elder brother {{ho|Gordon}}, had left town to catch an Absol because Gordon didn't believe that Absol caused disasters. Nicky reasons that if his brother can't catch an Absol, then Team Rocket can't either. While Team Rocket leaves on their hunt, Nicky, Ash, and company leave for a nearby mountain-top -- reasoning that from a higher vantage point they would have a better chance of catching Absol. However, just as the party passes some mysterious water-filled rocks, Absol finds them. As Absol advances on [[Max]] and Nicky, Pikachu cautions Absol with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. The two Pokémon reach a standoff... but just moments later, a flood of water erupts from the rocks behind them! Max, Nicky, Pikachu, and Absol are swept away by the flood, and the former three are caught on a branch over the side of the cliff. Nicky loses his grip and begins to fall, but Absol leaps to save him -- convincing all present that Absol is a kind-hearted Pokémon. Team Rocket also observes these events from afar. | Right before Team Rocket is about to leave with Ash, though, a boy, [[Nicky]] appears and shouts at Team Rocket, claiming that Absol would never be caught by their likes.
