DP139: Difference between revisions

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are busily helping [[Johanna]] prepare for the upcoming [[Twinleaf Festival]]. [[Izzy and Cara]] are worried that {{an|Professor Oak}} hasn't shown up yet, while his blimp should have already landed. When Ash and his friends meet Izzy and Cara, Ash offers to look for Oak, so he and his friends head off to look for him. Nearby, {{TRT}} are watching from a bush. [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} dress [[James]] up as Professor Oak, hoping to be able to pass him off as the real one. Izzy and Cara take him off to Johanna to get ready for his speech about the relationship between {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[Evolution stone]]s.

Meanwhile, the real Professor Oak is standing by while his assistant is replacing his tire on the car. Oak sees a marsh ahead of him and wanders off to see what Pokémon are in it. His assistant tells him not to go too far, but he says that he is just going to look around.

Ash and his friends are running down the path and find the assistant without Professor Oak. The assistant tells them that Oak is out in the marsh and the others go after him. {{an|Dawn}} warns that she has heard that the marsh is full of quicksand.

James is getting ready to begin a speech for all the kids out in the crowd. He tries to escape a couple of times, but he is caught.

Professor Oak is walking through the marsh and sees a {{p|Poliwhirl}}. He makes up a poem about it and sees a {{p|Politoed}} walk out of the bushes. He goes over to look at it when two {{p|Quagsire}} walk up next to him. He also makes a poem about them. Ash and friends are walking up and waving when the Quagsire pick Oak up and run off, following the Politoed, much to everyone's confusion. As they begin to head off again, Dawn reminds them that there is quicksand around there. {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} takes the lead, but quickly sinks into quicksand. Dawn sends out {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} to use Ice Beam to save Piplup. {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} then takes the lead and begins to walk. Suddenly he stops, but Piplup keeps walking and falls into quicksand again. Croagunk quickly throws him out of it. Croagunk leads them to a cave, out of which comes Politoed followed by the Quagsire. Politoed challenges Croagunk to a duel which Croagunk wins. They walk into the cave to find Oak with a {{p|Lombre}} and two other Quagsire. Oak tells them that Politoed just wanted him to come give Lombre the [[Water Stone]] to help with the Pokémon's depression. Oak breaks off a small piece of the Water Stone and gives it to Lombre, which evolves it into {{p|Ludicolo}} and makes it happy again.

James walks out onto stage as his nerves begin to get to him and he won't say a word. Jessie and Meowth sneak over to the stage and tell James to think of this as a classic Team Rocket scheme to get tons of Pokémon. This encourages James and he begins to perform well. Meowth wishes they had thought of this sooner as James is able to collect all the Pokémon in the crowd. Ash and his friends then run in with Professor Oak behind them. Dawn says that James is not the real Professor Oak. James denies it, and a young boy from the crowd walks up and says that the real Professor Oak would be able to help him with his Pokémon, and sends out a {{p|Tyranitar}}. Izzy and Cara push James up, but he is promptly blasted off by Tyranitar, with Jessie and Meowth running after him. Oak then walks up to Tyranitar and pulls a thorn out of its foot, making it happy. The boy is happy and everybody in the crowd cheers.
