DP023: Difference between revisions

Suddenly, they heard a [[cry]] from a {{p|Bidoof}}. Brock took out a [[Super Potion]] to heal the Bidoof, and put a plaster on its wound. Bidoof then reveals to the gang that it belongs to the Bidoof village, and when they were about to turn into a junction in the forest, Team Rocket appeared. While they were talking about catching {{AP|Pikachu}}, the Steelix appeared. When it was charging a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, they started running. While they were running, they spotted a gap in the rocks.

Bidoof commands the gang to turn left and Team Rocket prepares to follow them, as Steelix fires another Hyper Beam that hits Jessie and James but misses Meowth. Meowth jumps toward the gang and continue to run along through the forest as they spot a waterfall. Bidoof points out that this is where it lives and that a shortcut entrance is a small gap in the rocks. As they pass through the gap, they see a small village that turned out to be Bidoof Village.

In a quick haste to hide from Steelix, Jessie and James go and hide in one a Bidoof's home and Steelix begins to sound angrier than ever. Upon this, they are finally provoked to save the village and calm Steelix down. Dawn sends out [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] and has him use {{m|BubbleBeam}} on Steelix while everyone else set up a barricade against the gap in which the gang entered. However, after Piplup gets tired and returns to his [[Poké Ball]], Steelix busts through the outside of the gap with the gang's only protection being the barricade they set up.

Next, Dawn suggests that Steelix will calm down if the shovels are removed from its head, and that it will be easy if they can lure it into the gorge in the village. As Meowth is thrown under the bus by Dawn to be the decoy, Steelix breaks through the barricade and proceeds to chase Meowth toward not only the gorge, but the Bidoof home in which Jessie and James are hiding in. Meowth makes it to the gorge and jumps as Ash sends out {{AP|Staravia}} to go and save it, making Steelix fall into the gorge just as Dawn planned.

When Staravia sets Meowth down next to Jessie and James, Team Rocket is reunited and begin to taunt the out cold Steelix out of anger for chasing them all this way. The gang tries to shush them in an attempt to keep Steelix asleep so they can get the shovels out of its head, but the three continue to rant and Steelix wakes up in the process and making it use Hyper Beam and blast Team Rocket off.

Steelix continues to rampage Bidoof Village and Ash has Staravia use {{m|Aerial Ace}} on one of the shovels, knocking it off of Steelix's head. As Staravia turns around, Steelix knocks it away and charges toward it only to smash into a rock when Ash recalls Staravia. Ash then has Pikachu use {{m|Iron Tail}} on the second shovel, knocking it off and leaving one shovel left on Steelix's head.

As Pikachu prepares to knock the third shovel off, Steelix head butts into the wall and Pikachu falls to the ground. Steelix's anger is turned up to 11 and it relentlessly attacks the village, and as such, makes it too dangerous to get close to its head. The Bidoof that Brock healed explains to the head Bidoof that they must remove the last shovel themselves. Head Bidoof at first seems reluctant to perform the actions explained by the other Bidoof, but as it looks around and sees that its village cannot take much more of Steelix's attacks, it readies the entire Bidoof clan to attack.

All the Bidoof jump off the cliff and onto Steelix's head and try to pull the shovel out while the gang notices that Steelix is charging toward the fountain. Ash sends out {{AP|Turtwig}} to use {{m|Razor Leaf}} on Steelix in an attempt to stop it. Razor Leaf appears to work for a short while, but Steelix pulls itself together and chases Turtwig away with Hyper Beam and continues to charge toward the fountain. The Bidoof clan continue their attempt to pull the shovel out when Steelix gets to the very edge of the waterfall. Head Bidoof tells the gang to give it more power and as such, they successfully pull the shovel out of Steelix's head. Steelix stops charging and calms down.
