AG180: Difference between revisions

Meanwhile, May places a call to her mother [[Caroline]], who tells her that neither she nor [[Norman]] can make it to the Grand Festival because they're busy, but they wish her luck and will watch her on [[Television|TV]]. {{an|Aipom}} manages to locate {{Ash}} and scurries down towards the ground. As the telephone screen shuts off, a scream is heard in the distance while Aipom races across the floor collecting hats. The stack of hats continues to grow in size as Aipom walks towards Ash and turns slightly to the left causing the mountain of hats to fall down crashing onto Ash. While Ash manages to recover from the collision, Aipom hops over and grasps his hat escaping off into the distance. {{AP|Pikachu}} races after the escaping Aipom and manages to crash into a tree. [[Drew]] notices the chaos brewing in the lobby and directs {{TP|Drew|Roselia}} to assist in capturing Aipom. Roselia releases an assortment of red blossoms which surround and envelop Aipom as a young woman has her {{p|Slowbro}} use its {{m|Psychic}} to move Aipom into Ash's arms. Ash removes his hat as Aipom escapes outside of the lobby doors. The young woman introduces herself as [[Solidad]] while Brock performs his usual romance ritual to attempt to entice Solidad. Our heroes only sigh as Brock introduces himself taking part in the great profession of Pokémon breeding. However, Solidad easily turns down Brock's advances by saying that she needs to talk Drew right now (much to Brock's shock and dismay) and Ash, May, Max and Pikachu are shocked at how she was able to turn Brock down easily. Solidad notices Drew a few feet away standing with his Roselia. Drew exits the lobby as Solidad wishes May good luck in the upcoming tournament.
