Phony Pokémon interpreters: Difference between revisions

The fake interpreters were running a fake Pokémon interpreter scam in which they profited off of their fake services. The authorities caught on to their scheme, and [[Officer Jenny]] was preparing to arrest [[Simon]], a practicing Pokémon interpreter who appeared to match the police report descriptions. However, the fake interpreters fired missiles at Simon, {{Ash}}, and {{ashfr}}, blinding them and allowing them to kidnap Simon. They wanted him to join their group, believing he was a fraud like them. Despite their threats, Simon refused since he felt their actions were wrong, and he later escaped.

After Simon checked up on [[Ash's Pikachu]] to see if he was okay, the fake interpreters showed up again at the [[Pokémon Center]] with their {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}. In an extortion attempt, the leader ordered his gang's Pokémon to absorb the Center's electricity. They ignored [[Nurse Joy]]'s pleas, but Simon's ability to communicate with Pokémon led the Magnemite and Magneton to stop their attack. Infuriated, the leader decided to kick Magnemite in order to teach it a lesson. However, Pikachu energized the Magnemite and Magneton with an {{t|Electric}} attack, allowing the Magnet Pokémon to attack their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Afterwards, the fake interpreters were arrested by [[Officer Jenny]].

|desc=The men owned three {{p|Magnemite}}, which they deliberately starved of electricity in the lead-up to their extortion attempt at the [[Pokémon Center]]. After [[Simon]] finished telling {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} the story about his past, the men ordered the Magnemite to steal the electricity of a local Pokémon Center.

 

After Simon talked to the Magnemite, they stopped their actions and floated back to the ground from exhaustion. The leader was infuriated and tried to kick one of the Magnemite, but {{AP|Pikachu}} recharged them with his own electricity, allowing them to turn against the fake interpreters and shock them.

|desc=The men owned two {{p|Magneton}}, who were also involved in an attempt to force [[Simon]] to join their phony Pokémon interpreter operation. They had been starved of electricity prior to the attempted extortion to make them more compliant with the gang's bidding.

 

Simon managed to convince the Magneton to consider the Pokémon they were harming, and eventually, they heeded his message. {{AP|Pikachu}} then recharged them with his own electricity, allowing them to turn against the fake interpreters and shock them.
