AG109: Difference between revisions

series=Advanced Generation |

Ash and his friends are still on their way to Sootopolis City for Ash's final gym battle. Of course, they're still making their way through the woods. Max thought for sure they'd be out by now, and May adds that things always looks closer on the map then they do in real life. Brock suggests it may be at least another day.

However, Snorunt suddenly pops out of his [[Poké Ball]]. Ash is surprised, but Snorunt uses Powder Snow on him, freezing him and Pikachu solid. May and Max jokingly suggest that Snorunt was just trying to tell Ash to "cool it" and "chill out."

Soon enough, Max bursts out of a bush to find a Ralts laying next to a lake. When it's brought back, they can only guess that it must have fallen into the lake and it's now sick. Brock hands some soup for it to try. At first, Ralts won't touch it, but then Pikachu tells it to go ahead, so it manages to take a drink of it, and obviously enjoys it, just like almost everyone else who tries Brock's cooking.

May pulls her Pokédex to find out more about the Ralts. Max lays it back down, when suddenly Snorunt pops in. Max and Ash get angry at Snorunt for scaring the Ralts. Snorunt gets angry in turn, swipes Ash's hat and Max's glasses, freezes them with Powder Snow, then puts it back on them.

Not far away, Team Rocket is watching them. Jessie sees the Ralts and thinks it's pretty cute. James says it has it's points, but it doesn't compare to his Chimecho. Meowth suggests they snatch the Ralts and give it to the boss. James immediately shows skepticism, but Meowth goes into another one of his "boss segues."

"Imagine the boss waking up in the morning, the pleasant sound of Ralts rousing him gently from sleep. Suddenly, a gang of evil intruders busts in, threatening to take his money, his jewels, and even steal the covers! Luckily, Ralts appears and uses Safeguard to protect the boss, and then blasting the intruders with Psychic! So much excitement before breakfast leaves the boss needing a nap, so Ralts uses its Hypnosis ability to help relax him. All sleepy and happy with the Ralts we gave him, the boss will say, "Meowth and friends deserve a big reward when I wake up.""

Later, as Ash and Co. are running down the road, James appears, disguised as an elderly man, and thanks them for finding his poor, lost Ralts. He explains that his sisters have been looking everywhere for it, and his sisters (Jessie as a Gardevoir and Meowth as a Kirlia) enter.

Ash asks if he's a Pokémon Trainer, and James responds with a "Yes, twerp...*ahem* I mean, lad!" He then introduces himself as the fabulous trainer of these three Psychic Pokémon, Lord James Jameson the third, Esquire.

Brock explains that the Ralts is sick and they need to get it to a Pokémon Center. James, however, explains that since it's "his Pokémon," it's his responsibility to take it. Max, however, is starting to get suspicious, because the Ralts seems afraid of James. James quickly explains that the fever must be affecting its mind.

Team Rocket goes into their motto, then send out Dustox and Cacnea, respectively. Dustox kicks up a whirlwind, and Cacnea, after James ducks under its hug attempt, fires a Pin Missile. Max hides behind a tree, promising to keep Ralts safe, while Ash's Pikachu unloads a thunderbolt, which is countered by Jame's Chimecho using Heal Bell.

May then sends out Combusken, who uses Fire Spin, but it's countered by Dustox's Whirlwind. Jessie then sends out Seviper, ordering a Poison Tail attack. Pikachu counters with Iron Tail. Cacnea fires a Pin Missile, but Brock has his Ludicolo intercept it with Razor Leaf.

After Ludicolo crashes from Dustox's Psybeam, Ash orders an icy wind from Snorunt. Snorunt freezes everything in Team Rocket's direction, then runs off after Max. Ash is happy that Snorunt is worried about Ralts, but Brock points out that they have bigger problems.

Team Rocket isn't frozen! It turned out that Wobbuffet used its Mirror Coat to protect Team Rocket from the Icy Wind. But that's when they realize that Max is gone, and so is the Ralts! Ash and May make fun of their eyesight not being too hot, to which Jessie angrily responds by ordering a Haze attack from Seviper.

However, Ralts stops this by using Safeguard! However, that leaves the Ralts even weaker than before. Kirlia tries to approach, but Gardevoir stops it. They decide that if Ralts is willing to trust Max that far, then so can they. As they teleport away, Max quickly gets going again.
