Go West, Young Ash: Difference between revisions

Just then, they notice a Butterfree and Heracross being attacked by three Pinsir. Ash, angry at the three- on two odds, calls on Bulbasaur and Pikachu, who drive away the Pinsir. Woodruff then asks them to go find out why the Pinsir were invading. They arrive at a valley dividing the Heracross forest and the Pinsir forest, and Woodruff remarks that the bridge was cut. However, a {{AP|Heracross}} that was following the group breaks down a tree for the gang to walk across. When they arrive at the Pinsir forest, they see a mechanical Pinsir operated by Team Rocket stealing sap from the trees. Pikachu blasts it, but the machine absorbs the blast and uses it to paralyze Ash's gang. Just then, the Heracross that was following them fights and defeats the Pinsir, saving Ash and friends. Ash and co. decide to keep going, but Heracross decides to go with them, allowing Ash to catch it.

Ash and co. have to cross a valley to get to Violet City. On their way, however, is a baby {{p|Donphan}}. Ash, excited, wants to catch it, but Brock says that a baby like that must be raised by an experienced {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|breeder}} like himself. He sends out {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}} to fight it, but it is quickly defeated. Ash decides it's his turn and send out Heracross to battle it, but is stopped by a woman named [[Rochelle]], who says that the Donphan is hers. Brock notices her necklace, and Rochelle says that it was made of agate, which her Donphan were trained to find around the valley. She leaves, telling the group not to fight any more Donphan.
