The poachers launch another body bag at Larvitar and Ash jumps in the way, catching him. The poachers decide that Tyranitar is good enough and drive away. Brock sends out {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} to follow them. A few seconds later, a lady rides up on a motorcycle and asks if everything’s okay. Brock rushes up and says that everything is okay now. She says that she’s Ranger Mason and that the poachers have been bothering them for quite some time. She tells her {{DL|Ranger Mason|Pokémon|Croconaw}} to get Ash out of the body bag. They get Ash out and Ranger Mason tells Larvitar that they’re going to get his mother back. He hardens and Brock says he doesn’t warm up to people quickly. | The poachers launch another body bag at Larvitar and Ash jumps in the way, catching him.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is begging to be accepted into the poachers’ gang. They give them massages, and then they’re accepted. Crobat peeks over the side of the robot and flies back to Brock.

Crobat finds Brock and reports back, and soon after the poachers’ robot came down the hill towards them. Team Rocket pops out and recites their motto, and then fires the bag. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and Croconaw uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}. That sends the bag back at Team Rocket and sends them blasting off again. The real poachers, however, are getting away in Team Rocket’s balloon. Chico uses a remote control to grab Pikachu and Croconaw, and then shoots a bag at our heroes for good measure. Ash tells Larvitar to use Screech, distracting the poachers and making Tyranitar angry. She fires a few Hyper Beams at the bag. Chico presses a button on a Remote, electrocuting Tyranitar, but despite the pain, she bites through and fires a Hyper Beam at the balloon. As the poachers plummet towards the earth, Chico drops the remote which breaks into pieces after it lands on the ground, freeing the humans from the bag. As Larvitar is reunited with Tyranitar, they see the banged up poachers jump into the robot, and as the Robot almost crushes the Gang, Tyranitar and Larvitar launch Hyper Beam and {{m|Hidden Power}} respectively. Ash catches Pikachu while Croconaw lands on Brock. Larvitar and Tyranitar hug. | Crobat finds Brock and reports back, and soon after the poachers’ robot came down the hill towards them.
