JN093: Difference between revisions

Ren's story is interrupted when a group of Magnemite starts following them. Ash and Goh try to lose them by speeding up, but the Magnemite continue their pursuit and try to magnetically pull Francois to them. Ren desperately grabs Francois and Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Electroweb}} on the Magnemite. This proves to be only a momentary solution, however, as the Magnemite quickly eat the Electroweb away. Goh figures that the Magnemite must be trying to force Francois into join them, so Ash turns around and has Dragonite use {{m|Hurricane}} on them to hold them back while Goh and Ren escape. Figuring that they'll stand out too much in the sky, Goh has Flygon take them to the ground. To fool the pursuing Magnemite, Goh borrows Ren's lab coat and hides {{TP|Goh|Grookey}} under it to trick the Magnemite into thinking he's hiding Francois. The trick works, and the Magnemite start pursuing Goh as he runs off, giving Ren and Francois a chance to escape. Meanwhile, Professor Cerise and Chrysa try to figure out the source of the strange transmission, which Chrysa manages to trace into space, much to her surprise.

Ren eventually manages to lose the Magnemite pursuing him by having Francois use {{m|Supersonic}}, {{status|confusion|confusing}} them long enough for him and Francois to hide in a dumpster. As they emerge from their hiding place, Ren notices that they've wound up in front of the café where they first met. This causes him to reminisce about the proprietor informing him that the café was going to be closed down, which had prompted Ren to look after Francois, since it could no longer eat from its favorite chandelier. However, Francois had refused to eat electricity from any appliance Ren offered to it, including the retro lamp that the proprietor had given to him as a parting gift. When Ren had opened a window to let Francois admire the snow falling outside, it had taken the opportunity to fly away.
