DP072: Difference between revisions

Faced with a raging fire and [[J|Hunter J]] flying overhead, {{Ash}} orders {{AP|Buizel}} use {{m|Water Gun}} to douse the flames, allowing him and [[Aura Sphere Riolu|Riolu]] to escape. However J intervenes, freezing Riolu with her laser. Ash picks up the wooden Riolu figurine before he is blasted away by {{TP|J|Salamence}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Hunter J proceeds to retrieve Riolu, storing it aboard one of her land vehicles. Meanwhile, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} help all the [[wild Pokémon]] escape the raging forest fires, and {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}} [[Kellyn]] enlists three {{p|Blastoise}} to use {{m|Rain Dance}} to put out the flames.  

{{Ash}} escapes J’s clutches and flees to higher ground with the help of {{AP|Chimchar}}'s {{m|Dig}}. He soon spots J’s airship and sneaks on board. Meanwhile, Hunter J takes a call from her client, who is glad to hear she succeeded in capturing Riolu for him. After verifying that Riolu is in fact real, he agrees to pay J and signs off. Ash rushes into the control bridge, demanding the return of Riolu. J responds by sending out her {{p|Drapion}} which proceeds to grab Ash with its pincers. Hunter J reveals that she was well aware of Ash's intrusion, but wanted to punish him. Pikachu leaps onto Drapion, causing it to flail. Ash follows by kicking Drapion and freeing himself of its crushing grip. J smirks as she opens an ejection hatch below the pair's feet, sending them freefalling. Luckily Kellyn arrives and snatches them to safety using a {{p|Staraptor}}. Ash is disappointed that he failed to rescue Riolu and that J got away. Back on the ground, Kellyn learns from [[Solana]] that {{OBP|J's client|DP071}} also escaped.

With J's ship hidden and with no other leads it is left to Ash's unique sense of [[Aura]] and Kellyn's abilities as a Ranger to help them find it. Ash and {{ashfr}} ride {{p|Dodrio}} to get to the rendezvous point, where the client picks up Riolu. After delivering Riolu, J and her troupes leave the client to battle Ash and company on his own. Ash uses {{AP|Staravia}} to slash the tires on the truck so the client can't escape. Instead, the client summons his {{p|Fearow}} and flies away with Riolu in hand. Solana and [[Officer Jenny]] arrive, offering to take care of the remaining henchmen; Brock and Dawn also join in. The tides of battle quickly change when Solana enlists the assistance of a {{p|Trapinch}} to trap the henchmen and their powerful Pokémon in a {{m|Rock Tomb}}.

 

Meanwhile, Kellyn and Ash pursue the client using their Dodrio. Kellyn has his Dodrio run across a steep cliff face before leaping atop Fearow and delivering a {{m|Fury Attack}} to hinder the getaway. The client quickly recovers and rushes into a nearby cave with Riolu in hand. He calls on his {{p|Aggron}} to block the cave with {{m|Rock Smash}}. Kellyn sees a {{p|Donphan}} and uses his Capture Styler to have it use {{m|Rollout}}. They knock down the barrier, only to find the tunnels all covered up with more rocks. Ash uses Riolu's Aura connection before using Donphan's Rollout to clear the tunnel on the farthest left leading to the client and Riolu. The client is furious to see that Ash and Kellyn located him. He orders his Aggron to attack, but Donphan counters with {{m|Horn Attack}}. Aggron is sent backwards and knocks over its Trainer, who loses possession of Riolu's case. Ash rushes over and frees Riolu from its glass case. Aggron retaliates with a Hyper Beam, but Riolu strikes back with an {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Using {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Volt Tackle}}, Ash is able to knock Aggron out, which pins the client to the ground. Kellyn confronts the client, telling him the jig is up. Meanwhile, Officer Jenny, with the help of Brock and Dawn, have since tied up all the henchmen.

 

Later, J receives her latest mission. However {{TRT}} are determined to get the revenge on the [[Pokémon hunter]]. J ignores the trio's {{motto}} and drives her airship directly into their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]], which explodes as a result and sends Team Rocket blasting off. By evening, Officer Jenny leaves with a van full of criminals and Riolu is happily reunited with its rightful Trainer. Kellyn thanks Ash and his friends for the help and declares mission complete. Riolu's Trainer also offers his gratitude. Ash then remembers that he still has the little figure that Riolu owns. He gives it back to Riolu and steps back only to get caught in its Aura communication, as Riolu thanks him for returning its prized possession back.
