SM096: Difference between revisions

Elsewhere, Burnet and Munchlax are ecstatic to have their lunches now with them. Then {{Rotom}} uploads its Manalo Festival data onto the [[Aether Foundation]]'s system. Wicke offers Ash a tour of Aether Paradise, and the young {{pkmn|Trainer}} happily obliges. Elsewhere, with the Pokémon all accounted for, Team Rocket agree to start their large scale plan but are interrupted when Ash arrives on the scene. {{AP|Pikachu}} looks up at Team Rocket, and the trio quickly flees to avoid being detected. However in their escape, the list of Pokemon flies out of Jessie's back pocket and lands at Faba's feet. Ash and Lillie enter the {{p|Ditto}} play space, and one of the Ditto approaches Pikachu and soon {{m|transform}}s into him, only it still maintains its facial expression. Wicke adds that the Ditto is almost ready to graduate. The term "graduate" perplexes Rotom and Ash. Burnet explains that they care for the Pokémon at Aether Paradise before returning them to the wild. As Team Rocket walk down a corridor a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Stufful}} starts following the group. Meanwhile, Faba runs over to Lusamine with the count list in hand, and he exclaims that Stufful is unaccounted for. Then Lusamine, Wicke, Brunet, Ash and Lillie agree to split up and search for Stufful. Rotom's Pokédex on Stufful entry alarms Ash, but Wicke and Burnet assure him that Stufful is harmless. In a flashback, Wicke explains that she first met Stufful during one of her solo patrols. She heard its cries and soon found Stufful was trapped under a fallen tree. In an act of desperation, Wicke dug through the dirt to make a gap big enough to rescue Stufful. Wicke tears at the thought of Stufful going missing, so the search party begins.

With their true identities now exposed, Rotom demands that Stufful be returned. Jessie yells out that she would return Stufful, but it is attached to her. The answer only infuriates Ash, and he has Pikachu launch a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack. As the electricity begins to reach into the air, {{an|Bewear}} crashes through the glass ceiling to rescue Team Rocket. As it is about to scoop up the group, Stufful captivates Bewear's attention. Suddenly Bewear lets out a shrill of joy, and Stufful jumps into its arms. The scene shocks everyone, and Meowth reveals that Bewear is Stufful's mother. Everyone is overjoyed for the pair, and Stufful waves to Wicke and the others. Bewear does the same before bundling Team Rocket in her arms and jumping onto an Aether Foundation helicopter. Bewear breaks off the helicopter's rotor blades and hands to it over to Stufful. Stufful promptly begins twirling the blades in its hands, and this allows Bewear to return to her [[Melemele Island]] den. Wicke, in particular, is relieved to see Stufful returned to its mother's arms and takes a moment to reflect.
