Before Ash can get too angry about the incident, he and Brock hear the sound of a {{m|Volt Tackle}} in the distance. Knowing that only Pikachu knows that move, the two begin running... and the mention of Volt Tackle catches Elekid's Trainer's interest. However, Dawn, Pikachu and Piplup are having their own problems as {{TRT}} has reappeared and cornered them with another giant robot. Despite Piplup's best attempts, Team Rocket successfully snag Pikachu to Dawn's horror. With his {{m|Bubble Beam}} attack not working, Piplup charges the mech but is no match and gets knocked out. Jessie mocks the fact that Piplup is a flightless bird and sends the robot's hands down and almost grabs Piplup when Aipom and Starly burst through the trees and attacks with {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Whirlwind}} attacks. Pikachu and Dawn are shocked to see the Pokémon. Ash realizes Team Rocket are in the machine. They step out onto a platform in front of it and say [[Team Rocket mottos|their new motto]], much to Ash's distaste. Ash climbs a tree and jumps onto the machine's arm, climbing up to Pikachu. Dawn is stunned at the lengths he will go to for Pikachu, while also very scared for Ash at the same time. Ash tries to force the hand open and the machine begins to malfunction. Brock tells Dawn to duck and they do. The robot explodes and Team Rocket go blasting off.

Walking down the road together, Ash, Dawn, and Brock are approached by Officer Jenny who is glad Ash found his Pikachu. At the lab, Ash opens his parcel, surprised to find new clothes, a new {{AP|hat}}, new [[List of clothing in the anime|shoes]], and a new [[bag|backpack]]. After putting them on, he calls his mom, telling her he is all right. He also calls Professor Oak, who chats with Rowan. In the living room, Dawn asks Ash if she could come along with them to which Ash agrees. Piplup, Aipom, and Starly are recalled into their Poké Balls, leading Dawn to ask Ash why he doesn't place Pikachu in his Poké Ball as well. Ash explains that Pikachu hates traveling in a Poké Ball, especially when his shoulder does just fine which amazes Dawn. Professor Rowan explains to Dawn that different Pokémon have different personalities. It's time for the gang to depart, and Ash thanks Professor Rowan for everything he's done. However, just as they leave Ash and Brock find Paul waiting for them. Paul tells Ash that now he has three Pokémon they can have a battle. Ash is now more than happy to accept a challenge from the arrogant Trainer, and Professor Rowan offers them use of his back garden for the battle.

==Trivia==

* This originally aired as a two-hour special on September 28, 2006, together with ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'' and ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]''. As such, they are also the first episodes to air in Japan after the earliest releases of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} in Japan and {{pmin|Greater China|Taiwan}}.

* This is the first episode when Team Rocket recites their Sinnoh {{motto}}.

* Music from ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' are used as background music.

===Errors===

* When Ash and his friends are on the phone to Professor Oak, his haircut flips multiple times.

* In the {{pkmn|games}}, [[recoil]] damage from a move like {{m|Volt Tackle}} does not happen when blocked with {{m|Protect}}, since the recoil damage on the user is divided from 1/3 the damage that is inflicted on the opponent.

===Dub edits===

* When the first three episodes aired together on April 20, 2007, they were made into a TV movie, cutting several parts out. All of these were restored when the episodes aired separately in reruns.
