DP191: Difference between revisions

Early in the morning, the sun shines down on [[Twinleaf Town]]. In Dawn's bedroom, the Starly clock starts to go off at 7 A.M. when {{an|Dawn}}, still half-asleep, shuts it off. {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, lying at the end of the bed, decides to take matters into his own hands and wakes her up by using his {{m|Peck}} attack on her as she throws Piplup back on the sofa cushion. She quickly becomes delighted when she remembers that she has just woken up in her own room at home. Dawn then opens her window with a smile in the same way she had done it in the very [[DP001|first episode]]. Dawn comes downstairs greeting [[Johanna|her mother]], {{an|Brock}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} as asks where {{Ash}} is. They tell her that he's still asleep, and Dawn, Piplup and {{AP|Pikachu}} decide to wake him up. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} to wake Ash, and Dawn informs him that breakfast is ready. At this, Ash immediately leaps out of bed, grabbing Pikachu and sprinting towards the kitchen, but ends up falling down the stairs in his hurry.

Meanwhile, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} gloomily walk along {{rt|202|Sinnoh}}, reflecting upon their failure to make any kind of progress during their time in [[Sinnoh]]. Suddenly {{TR|Delibird}} is spotted flying towards them. This time Delibird has no packages or [[Poké Ball]]s  for them, but instead has orders to contact [[Team Rocket]] Headquarters. After Delibird leaves, the trio contacts Headquarters and speaks to a secretary named [[Matori]], who informs them that the three have been specially selected by Giovanni for an important mission and must report to Headquarters immediately. Naturally, Jessie, James and Meowth are overjoyed in Giovanni's new-found faith in them and believe its thanks to their efforts in helping to collapse [[Team Galactic]] and their victories over [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]].

At Team Rocket Headquarters, {{an|Giovanni}} looks over the trio's personnel files as his secretary reports that they're perfect for the job, not mentioning what the job is.

Eventually Pikachu, Staraptor and Togekiss catch up with Piplup, and Togekiss speeds ahead to cut Piplup off. Pikachu and Staraptor approach, but when they get in close Piplup tries to attack them with {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Pikachu jumps to the ground and follows Piplup on foot but Piplup tries to run away again and bumps into Togekiss. Seeing Togekiss' reassuring smile brings Piplup to tears. Pikachu tells Staraptor to go fetch Ash and approaches the distraught Piplup, who beings weakly hitting him and crying in despair. Pikachu understands Piplup's panicked feelings and also begins to cry. Togekiss hugs them both, trying to comfort them when they suddenly notice Meowth in the bushes besides them. Meowth is crying too, saying that he understands their pain, and this throws the Pokémon off guard. While they stare confusedly at him, Jessie and James catch the three of them in a net. Soon, the Team Rocket balloon starts to carry them away as Jessie and James make plans to hand the three over as a thank-you present to Giovanni. Luckily, Ash, Dawn, and Brock find them. Ash he orders {{AP|Staraptor}} to use {{m|Brave Bird}} to destroy the balloon and calls out {{AP|Torterra}} to use {{m|Leaf Storm}} and free the Pokémon from the net. For their last time in Sinnoh, Ash, Dawn and Brock engage together into a battle against the Team Rocket trio. Jessie sends out both {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} and    James sends out {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, who bites him as usual. Carnivine leaps up and uses {{m|Bullet Seed}}, but as Pikachu use Thunderbolt to counter, Carnivine dodged it as Togekiss goes up against the Bug Catcher Pokémon and defeats it with a well-aimed {{m|Air Slash}}, {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} is defeated thanks to Staraptor's {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Even Meowth tries to attack with his {{m|Fury Swipes}} but Brock calls on {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} who sends Meowth flying back with a powerful {{m|Hammer Arm}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} doesn't last long against Torterra's {{m|Energy Ball}}. The battle ends with a powerful combination of Piplup's {{m|Hydro Pump}} and Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}} blasting off Team Rocket. As Team Rocket blasts off, they comment that they are still happy because of their new special assignment.
