EP192: Difference between revisions

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are still en-route to [[Olivine City]] for Ash's fourth Gym Badge, however what they don't know is that {{TRT}} are lying in wait with a new plan to capture {{AP|Pikachu}}. As Ash, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} walk they come across three scientists (really [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}) discussing their new invention... the PokéPod which is completely indestructible and is apparently the safest way to transport Pokémon. Ash asks if they intend to test it out, and Jessie shows him they do by grabbing and sticking Pikachu inside. After closing the Pod, the device locks itself securely. James declares the device to be a total success, and now cannot be opened without the key. Ash asks for Pikachu back, however Team Rocket reveal themselves to Ash and quickly make a getaway with {{TP|James|Weezing}}'s {{m|Smokescreen}} as cover. The gang gives chase as Team Rocket runs for it, however Jessie is able to pass the PokéPod to a hiding {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, who has the key to the device around his neck, which goes unnoticed by Ash and the others. By the time they catch up, Jessie declares that the PokéPod is gone, leaving the gang clueless... until Wobbuffet blows the clean getaway by revealing himself to them. Ash makes a run at the Pokémon, causing Wobbuffet to panic and accidentally trip on a nearby rock. While the PokéPod containing Pikachu goes flying into Ash's arms, Wobbuffet falls into the nearby river and is quickly swept away and over a waterfall, with the key needed to release Pikachu!
