BW048: Difference between revisions

Ash and his friends try to pursue another train, but fail to catch it and mark it as a decoy. Cilan believes that Team Rocket might have slipped through the radar already, above ground. The note surprises Ash and {{an|Iris}}, thinking subway trains stay underground. The coincidental quote gives Cilan the answer that the train's entry point is possibly the exit point. {{FB|Subway Boss|Ingo}} and {{FB|Subway Boss|Emmet}} support the theory by pointing out that the subway trains all originate from the [[Anville Town]] railyard. With this knowledge, Ingo and Emmet plan to join up with Ash and his friends, racing down to a spare train car.

Back in Team Rocket's train, Axew cries hysterically at being imprisoned, but Pikachu comforts him before spotting the Poké Ball holding [[Ash's Snivy]]. Pikachu uses an {{m|Electro Ball}} to activate the Poké Ball and release Snivy. Snivy then uses {{m|Vine Whip}} to fish out [[Iris's Excadrill]], who then uses {{m|Metal Claw}} to free Axew and Pikachu from their cages. Pikachu tries to Iron Tail the door again, but only leaves a small dent. Axew fires {{m|Dragon Rage}} against it, but the attack also fails. Snivy releases [[Cilan's Pansage]] from captivity. {{m|Bullet Seed}} and Excadrill tackling the door, also fail to break it. Pikachu thinks about the other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that could help. After rejecting {{AP|Oshawott}}'s {{m|Razor Shell}}, {{AP|Scraggy}}'s {{m|High Jump Kick}}, and {{AP|Tepig}}'s {{m|Tackle}}, Pikachu decides to have {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble}} and use its corrosive spray to destroy the door.

Ash and his friends continue to run along the tracks with Ingo and Emmet catching up to them on their crew car, powered by Emmet's {{p|Eelektross}}. After Ash checks it with his [[Pokédex]], they hop on and race after the ghost train. Meanwhile, Dwebble manages to carve a hole out of the door. A part of the door drops, alerting Team Rocket. Meowth goes to check and opens the door, coming face-to-face with Ash's Pikachu. Though shocked at first, Pikachu soon becomes fit with rage at the betrayal, charging up electricity. The train heads out to the surface, and Meowth knows that the Pokémon cannot escape since the train is traveling too fast for them to jump. Pikachu attempts to fire a {{m|Thunderbolt}} at Meowth, but he shuts the door and blocks the attack. Meowth notifies [[Jessie]] and [[James]] about the situation and Dr. Zager proceeds to catch up with them.

Back in the second car, [[Ash's Roggenrola]] and {{AP|Tepig}} join the group as Pikachu directs them to destroy the coupling holding the two cars together. A combination attack of {{m|Flash Cannon}}, {{m|Ember}}, Dragon Rage and Bullet Seed works cooperatively to destroy the coupling. Meowth reopens the door and realizes what is happening when Pikachu's Thunderbolt attack creates an explosion, knocking Meowth back and separating the cars. Jessie and James learn what's happened and start to slow the train down in order to allow the second car to catch up. Pikachu looks ahead and notices that the track splits off. Ash's Snivy jumps on top of the car and uses Vine Whip to change the track's orientation, allowing the second car to head away from Team Rocket. They are forced to backtrack to the switch line, but now they're chasing the car and quickly start to catch up, with Dr. Zager's chopper flying alongside as well.

Ash and his friends continue to race towards the terminus, reaching the surface. Eelektross uses more power to speed up the train to insane velocities. Meanwhile, Dr. Zager tries to position the chopper above the loose car to hitch it to the helicopter. Pikachu and Pansage attempt to attack the chopper's hooks, but the attacks fail to damage it. Meowth notices Ash and his friends approaching on a parallel track. Ash and his friends want to head over to the train car with their Pokémon, but it is almost impossible to get to them at the rate of speed they are traveling at. So Ingo brings out his partner, a {{p|Chandelure}}, and has it use {{m|Psychic}} to lift Ash and his friends to the car. The Pokémon are happily reunited with their Trainers as they prepare to fight off Team Rocket. Tepig and Roggenrola use Ember and Flash Cannon to propel the car faster, moving ahead of Zager's helicopter. Axew attempts to use Dragon Rage to help, but Zager’s chopper simply flies up and picks up speed, making the Pokémon's efforts moot.

Seeing another track switch, Cilan has Pansage use Bullet Seed to change the car's track orientation, slipping from Zager's grasp once again. Roggenrola and Tepig use their attacks again to accelerate away. When Zager attempts to catch up with them, Snivy uses {{m|Leaf Storm}} to attack the chopper's main blades. Pikachu’s Electro Ball attack destroys the four cargo hooks on the helicopter, forcing Zager to back off. The trio attempts to catch up, but Roggenrola and Tepig do their best to push ahead. Tepig taps into more power, learning how to use {{m|Flamethrower}} in the process. Chandelure joins the fray and uses {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} on the locomotive, destroying it. Team Rocket jumps up with their jet packs, dodging the damage. Though upset by the betrayal, Ash does admit to having fun while traveling with Meowth, but the Scratch Cat Pokémon is unimpressed and swears revenge on them. James pushes a button to destroy the locomotive unit as they get into Zager's helicopter and fly off, much to Pikachu's anger. Cilan notes that Team Rocket did think of a good plan, while Iris is only relieved that she didn't manage to capture Meowth after all.
