AG108: Difference between revisions

<i>In a snowy region of Izabe Island, Ash and his friends take a rest at a Pokémon Center. As they're greeted by Nurse Joy, a Snorunt steals Ash's badges right out of his backpack! Nurse Joy explains that this mischievous Snorunt is just having fun, but Ash certainly isn't. He sends Corphish and Pikachu to get his badges back, and the chase is on!

The chase leads to the kitchen, where Team Rocket is busy helping themselves to all the food. Snorunt sends the thieves packing before leaping out the window, hotly pursued by Ash. As Snorunt taunts Ash, it slips and falls down an icy slope. Ash manages to save it, but he's knocked out in the process and his friends are unable to find him before a blizzard forces them back indoors.

Ash awakens in a snug snow shelter built by Snorunt. It swipes his hat and takes it to the Pokémon Center, alerting Ash's friends. They follow Snorunt back to the shelter on snowmobiles but just as they reach Ash, Team Rocket grabs Snorunt and Pikachu! Snorunt breaks free, then helps Ash stop Team Rocket and save his friend.

It seems Snorunt stole Ash's badges because it wanted to play with him. Ash invites Snorunt to join him, but first he must prove he's capable of capturing this wily Pokémon. With Pikachu's help, he does capture Snorunt—although it looks like this Pokémon may still be a real handful!</i>

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive at the local [[Pokémon Center]] shortly before a blizzard is expected to start. While they're talking to [[Nurse Joy]], a {{p|Snorunt}} comes in. Joy tells them it's a bit of a trickster and frequently borrows things from visitors. At this point, they notice that it's holding Ash's [[Badge]] case, which it has stolen from his [[bag|backpack]]. However, Joy tells Ash not to worry, that it always returns things before long. Ash is not inclined to wait, and has {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Corphish}} chase it down. When they have it cornered, Ash demands that it return his Badges. It returns the {{Badge|Stone}} and uses {{m|Double Team}} to get away with the rest.

Pikachu and Snorunt are caught in boxes. Pikachu tries to escape with an {{t|Electric}} [[Move|attack]], and as usual, it fails. Meowth, saying "Give it a rest! Those portable Pokémon prisons are a 100% guaranteed". Snorunt tries to escape with {{m|Icy Wind}}, and Jessie laughs, saying "So go ahead, attack away! It'll never break!"

Snorunt breaks out of the box. It uses Icy Wind against Team Rocket as Jessie yells at {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} to "Block it!", and it uses {{m|Mirror Coat}} to send back the attack. Team Rocket manages to escape in the balloon with their Pikachu-in-a-box.

Snorunt is ''still'' reluctant to return the Badges. One of the group speculates that it doesn't want to, because it likes Ash and if it gave them back, he'd leave, and it wouldn't be able to play with him any more. Ash tries to solve the dilemma by inviting Snorunt to come with him. Snorunt responds with an unmistakable "you wanna fight?" motion. It may like him, but it isn't about to be caught without seeing if he's strong enough first.

Ash battles it with Pikachu. It uses {{m|Iron Tail}} as Snorunt uses Double Team. Pikachu can’t find the real one and got hit by Snorunt's {{m|Headbutt}}. Ash wonders what to do as Pikachu dodges the real Snorunt’s Headbutts and tries to find it again within the copies. He then tells Pikachu to Iron Tail the ground which causes snow to fly everywhere and gets rid of the copies. Pikachu then finished Snorunt off with a {{m|Quick Attack}} followed by a {{m|Thunder}}. After a long fight, he wins, the last attack knocking the Badge case away from Snorunt. Ash throws a [[Poké Ball]] and he's {{pkmn2|caught}} it. The final scene is back at the Pokémon Center, with {{AP|Snorunt}} being introduced to all the group's Pokémon. Corphish gets a little too close and acts a little to aggressive, and gets frozen. May has {{TP|May|Combusken}} thaw Corphish with a {{m|Fire Spin}}, and Ash sits down for a little talk with Snorunt about acceptable behavior.
