DP168: Difference between revisions

The scene goes to the gang walking on a trail. Ash is in awe of the story that Marley had apparently been telling them. She says that she had tried to say goodbye to Shaymin once before, which prompts another flashback. It's late evening by a lake. The sun is going down. Shaymin, Marley and her Arcanine are by the shore. Marley says that she knows Shaymin go on a flower bearing journey and if she remembers correctly, a [[Gracidea]] is just over the mountain. She also tells Shaymin to hurry or it will miss all the flowers. Shaymin walks a couple of steps and then turns its' neck so that they stare into each other's eyes. Shaymin eventually turns away and wanders off. The scene turns to the middle of the night. Marley is in her sleeping bag while narrating that she was having trouble falling asleep. She turns over in her bag and Shaymin walks right up to her and snuggles in her sleeping bag. It comes out looking elated for being back with Marley. She has a really confused look on her face for a second and then finally gives in. She lets Shaymin sleep in her bag and promises to accompany Shaymin to the Gracidea Flower Garden. While falling asleep she comments on how Shaymin is so warm and cozy.

When the gang reaches the Garden, they are all in shock: all of the Gracidea flowers have died, which means no transforming for Shaymin. Ash has the idea of combing the dead garden to look for just one that is in bloom. The rest comply and get to work. The search isn't going well. There isn't a flower in sight. All of a sudden, Brock looks up and sees a sprout still in bloom, only problem is that it's on a huge rock. With precision timing, Team Rocket bursts out in their giant [[Team Rocket's mechas|Mecha Caterpie]]. The head of the mecha opens and brings out Team Rocket on a platform. They show their faces and Marley groans "Oh no, not them again". They say a couple words and then use Mecha Caterpie's String Shot. Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Dawn has Piplup use {{m|BubbleBeam}} against it. The attacks collide and explode in mid-air. Ash brings out {{AP|Torterra}} and has it use {{m|Energy Ball}}. The Energy Ball knocks Team Rocket on the ground. Team Rocket's robot starts crawling towards the gang when Brock has the idea to have {{OP|Dawn|Buneary}} Buneary use {{m|Ice Beam}} underneath Team Rocket, so that they have no traction. Now that Team Rocket is immobilized, Ash has Torterra use {{m|Rock Climb}} and Dawn has Piplup use Whirlpool. The attacks land dead center and send Team Rocket spinning away. Ash yells that they did it, but James lets out an evil laugh while Meowth engages stage 2 of the mecha. The back of the Caterpie pops open and a {{p|Butterfree}} mecha pops out, just like a butterfly crawls out of a cocoon. They begin charging a "Robo-Hyper {{m|SolarBeam}}." They shoot it at the ground, knocking Ash and friends off their feet. After the smoke clears, Marley looks for Shaymin, which she can't find. Brock points out to her that it is climbing the rock so it can get to the Gracidea and transform into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shaymin|Sky Forme]]. The scene cuts to another Thunderbolt/BubbleBeam combo that the Mecha Butterfree dodges with total ease. Team Rocket is feeling unstoppable and begins gloating. They decide to give Ash and friends a blast off of their own. They start charging another SolarBeam, when Marley cheers on Shaymin to reach the Gracidea. The pollen is floating from the flower to Shaymin, and it starts to transform. Once done, Shaymin jumps into Marley’s arms for a quick hug then flies through the antennae of the mecha Butterfree, cutting them to shreds. They explode and break away. They begin a high speed sky chase, with Shaymin in the lead. Shaymin gets going so fast that Team Rocket are unable to keep up. They stop for a second and then get hit hard from underneath. Team Rocket uses "Robo-Hyper Gust" which knocks Shaymin off course. The last Gracidea blow away in the wind, Shaymin is falling, but recovers and uses {{m|Air Slash}}. This cuts Team Rockets mecha straight in two. Team Rocket blast off, but a worn out Shaymin falls straight into the patch of ice from Buneary. When Shaymin touches the ice, it transforms back into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shaymin|Land Forme]]. The gang are wondering what to do, when two more [[Shaymin]] appear. Magically, a Gracidea bud blooms right in front of them, so the Shaymin use it to transform. Once transformed, they take to the skies and fly in happy circles. Marley tells Shaymin that it's time for it to go on the Flower Bearing Journey. Shaymin is sad to leave Marley, but knows it has to or else it will transform by night fall. Marley says that she hopes to see Shaymin again. Then the Shaymin fly away, but not without revealing its voice to thank Marley.
