{{Ash}} is still fascinated by his [[EP112|victory]] and [[Winner's Trophy]], while he and {{ashfr}} travel to the next island. {{AP|Lapras}} suddenly senses something, in excitement it makes a quick turn. The group spots a school of {{p|Lapras}} ahead. While {{Tracey}} sketches them, {{an|Misty}} brings up the possibility that this school is the one Lapras belongs to. A {{wp|flashback}} occurs to when Ash first [[EP084|met]] Lapras and how the group came together to reunite the infant Lapras with its group. Lapras approaches the school and calls, but everyone ignores it. One of the Lapras, a teal-colored one, tries to return the call, but the others push it away. The trio are left stunned as one of the Lapras attacks with {{m|Water Gun}} before using {{m|Mist}} to cover their escape. | |||
At a nearby [[Pokémon Center]] on [[Tarroco Island]], Ash talks to {{an|Professor Oak}} over a videophone. Oak explains that those Lapras may be scared of humans due to a previous attack. [[Officer Jenny]] | At a nearby [[Pokémon Center]] on [[Tarroco Island]], Ash talks to {{an|Professor Oak}} over a videophone. Oak explains that those Lapras may be scared of humans due to a previous attack. [[Officer Jenny]] approaches the group and suggests that it must be linked to [[Pokémon poacher]]s in the vicinity. Jenny explains that several pirates led by [[Captain Crook]] have fired at the Lapras and attempted to catch them in a no-capture zone. Ash is furious and believes {{TRT}} is behind it. However, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are in the building recovering from attacks inflicted by the poachers. They overhear Ash's comments from a nearby room and refute the claims before launching into their {{motto}}. They reveal that a cannonball exploded near their [[Team Rocket's mechas|submarine]], sending it crashing onto the island and damaging it. Before Officer Jenny can pull up their files, Team Rocket flees. | ||
Nearby, the school of Lapras moves on as the teal-colored Lapras looks out. A pirate ship approaches the Lapras. On board, Captain Crook sets his plan to catch them into motion. The pirate ship fires cannons loaded with [[Poké Ball]]s instead of cannonballs. The balls release several {{p|Tentacruel}} | Nearby, the school of Lapras moves on as the teal-colored Lapras looks out. A pirate ship approaches the Lapras. On board, Captain Crook sets his plan to catch them into motion. The pirate ship fires cannons loaded with [[Poké Ball]]s instead of cannonballs. The balls release several {{p|Tentacruel}} which surround the group. They attack with {{m|Poison Sting}}, but the lead Lapras uses Water Gun to block the attack. The pirates deploy more Tentacruel to cut them off as Ash's group finds the Lapras under attack. Misty realizes the pirates are merely using the Tentacruel to bully them as Captain Crook even verbally degrades the Tentacruel. Tracey and his {{TP|Tracey|Marill}} head back to Tarroco Island to get Officer Jenny while Ash and Misty race in to intercept. | ||
Team Rocket follows in their {{p|Magikarp}} submarine as the Tentacruel surround the school. The captain orders all of them to attack, but [[Ash's Pikachu]] attacks with {{m|ThunderShock}}. | Team Rocket follows in with their {{p|Magikarp}} submarine as the Tentacruel surround the school. The captain orders all of them to attack, but [[Ash's Pikachu]] attacks with {{m|ThunderShock}}. While it does stop them, because water conducts electricity, the Lapras group, Ash and Misty are also injured. The Tentacruel break off to attack Ash as the pirates confront them, firing cannon rounds at Ash's Lapras. It dodges quickly as Ash sends out {{AP|Squirtle}} to join [[Misty's Poliwag]], {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}} and {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}. Misty leads the Pokémon to fire Water Guns at the ship, destroying the cannons and masts, as well as putting holes into the ship. Crook barks at them as the {{t|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} fire at once, knocking him back. The pirates run out of cannonballs, so the captain fires [[Scuz]] at them, but the Pokémon stop him with Water Gun. | ||

Ash's Lapras fires Water Gun at the leader, making it angry and prompting the Tentacruel to continue chasing Ash's Lapras, allowing the school to flee. The Tentacruel begin to catch up with Ash's Lapras, unintentionally crashing into Team Rocket's submarine and sending them blasting off. The Tentacruel surround Ash and Lapras. Meanwhile, Misty has the ship under control with the crew bound. Misty orders the captain to call the Tentacruel back, but he refuses so Poliwag gives him a spray of its Water Gun. Ash's Lapras fires Water Gun at a Tentacruel as the captain orders {{m|Supersonic}} attacks. All the Tentacruel fire, crippling Ash, Pikachu, and Lapras with headaches. The lead rushes forward to attack, but the school of Lapras comes to Ash's aid, {{status|Freeze|freezing}} the Tentacruel with {{m|Ice Beam}}, sending them plummeting underwater. The school approaches and Ash's Lapras meets with the teal one, revealed to be its mother. | ||

Misty allows the Tentacruel to go, and they happily swim off into the ocean. Meanwhile, Ash and Lapras share one last moment before it rejoins its school. Flashbacks recount Lapras's time participating throughout the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]]. Lapras dives underwater and comes under Ash, allowing him to get back onto the ship. Ash's Lapras rejoins the school. As they head off into the sunset, Ash, Tracey and Misty wave it goodbye and thank it for helping them. | ||
