BW109: Difference between revisions

The two of them team up against Cilan and Iris so Natasha can learn the ropes of being a new Trainer...and the battle is being observed by none other than Team Rocket! The villains are back on the scene with the goal of stealing Pikachu for their Boss, but when that appears unlikely, they decide to steal Natasha’s Tepig instead! Natasha is more nervous and clueless than ever about what to do, until she remembers Ash’s words of encouragement. Determined, Natasha turns over a new leaf, showing real battling spirit! And with the help of Ash’s incredible Unfezant, Tepig is returned unharmed and Team Rocket is sent packing.

==Plot==

The tag battle begins between Ash and Nanette against Cilan and Iris. Both sides call out their Pokémon. It is Pikachu and Tepig against {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} and {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}. Nanette is unsure how she should proceed, so Ash starts things off by having Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, hitting Emolga and Stunfisk, although it does no damage to the latter. Nanette decides to follow Ash's lead a little too well, also commanding Tepig to use Thunderbolt, a move Tepig is unable to learn. Ash has Nanette look at her Pokédex instead to see which moves Tepig knows. Looking at it, Nanette finds one and has Tepig use {{m|Ember}}, hitting Stunfisk. Cilan has Stunfisk counter with a super-effective {{m|Mud Bomb}}, hitting Tepig. Emolga uses {{m|Discharge}} hitting everyone on the field, but doing no damage to Stunfisk. Pikachu hits Emolga back with a {{m|Quick Attack}}.

Meanwhile, Nanette is having another panic attack but then recalls Ash back at the bridge advising her to go for it because she won't know what she can do until she tries. Taking hold of the situation, Nanette calls out Tepig and has it use Ember on Frillish. The Ember causes Frillish's Psychic to stop, releasing Pikachu who quickly regains consciousness and is ready to battle. Not worried, James has Amoonguss use {{m|Hidden Power}} on Pikachu and Unfezant, but they are both able to dodge the attack. While Amoonguss is attacking, Frillish is going for Tepig. Nanette has Tepig use {{m|Tackle}}, but it does nothing to Frillish because she is part {{type|Ghost}}. Frillish then catches Tepig and throws it into Team Rocket's machine.

Attempting to cover their escape, Frillish and Amoonguss use {{m|BubbleBeam}} and Hidden Power. However, Unfezant flies in front of the attacks to protect Ash and Nanette. Despite the two attacks, she appears unfazed. Ash has Unfezant use {{m|Air Cutter}} on Amoonguss and {{m|Aerial Ace}} on Frillish, knocking both Pokémon out. {{MTR}} has Team Rocket retreat with the captured Pokémon to their balloon. The scared Tepig can be seen in a glass box under the balloon.

Back on the ground, Nanette and Tepig gladly embrace. Feeling confident after all the has happened, Nanette promises she will no longer worry about things and runs off to begin her journey.
