== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{Tracey}} are walking along [[Mandarin Island South|Mandarin Island]] to the gym in [[Trovita]] in the blazing sun. Misty and Ash are not doing too well but Tracey seems fine. They find out that being on {{AP|Lapras}} they don’t do much walking. Tracey tells them that they can be at the town in three days.


A storm rolls on the gang and they desperately run to find some shelter but Misty falls to the ground with {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. They take cover under a rock until lightning almost hits them. During the storm they see a small crowd of {{p|Magnemite}} absorbing the lightning and wonder what they are doing. They are absorbing the lightning. Eventually they see a {{p|Jolteon}} who seems to be herding the crowd of Magnemite. They also meet a man who has a wagon with a pair of {{p|Tauros}} pulling it who offers them safety in the back of the wagon from the lightning; they do so and board the wagon. They see the Magnemite absorbing more lightning.

<i>Ash, Misty and Tracey are bound for the next Orange League gym on Trovita when they find themselves trekking across rugged landscape, miles from anywhere.

Later after the storm the man who calls himself [[Ethan (anime)|Ethan]] tells them that he owns a Magnemite ranch. He takes his Magnemite into lightning storms so that he can take the electric power to towns and cities on the island. Tracy notices how well trained the Magnemite are and asks Ethan about it. Ethan calls the Magnemite by numbers instead of names and Misty and Ash comment that they cannot tell them apart but Ethan says he can. He uses Jolteon to “round up” the Magnemite like sheep. The Magnemite take a liking to {{AP|Pikachu}} with him being an electric type Pokémon and in doing so they almost swallow him. Ask attempts to help Pikachu but ends up getting shocked himself. Ethan comments that Ash is a “tough little hombre” just like he is for taking the electric attack.
==Plot==
As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are walking along [[Mandarin Island South|Mandarin Island]] to the [[Gym]] in [[Trovita]], a rolling storm forces the gang to take cover. During the storm, they see a small crowd of {{p|Magnemite}} being struck by lightning and find that they are absorbing the electricity. Eventually, they see a {{p|Jolteon}} that seems to be herding the crowd of Magnemite. They also meet a man who has a wagon with a pair of {{p|Tauros}} pulling it. He offers them safety in the back of the wagon from the lightning; they do so and board the wagon.


Jolteon leads the Magnemite and Ethan takes the gang to the next town. At sunset Ash takes the reigns from Ethan to the Tauros but almost crashes it on his first try however he eventually gets the hang of it. Later at night during a thunderstorm the gang watch as the Magnemite absorb more lightning from the storm.
After the storm passes, the man introduces himself as {{OBP|Ethan|EP101}}, a Magnemite rancher. He explains that he takes his Magnemite into thunderstorms so that he can take the absorbed electricity to towns and cities on the island. {{Tracey}} notices how well-trained the Magnemite are and asks Ethan about it. Ethan explains that he calls the Magnemite by numbers instead of names, while Jolteon is used to round up the Magnemite. The Magnemite take a liking to {{AP|Pikachu}} and almost swallow him. Ash attempts to help Pikachu, but ends up getting shocked himself.


The following day the gang relax around a campfire with Ethan and enjoy some drinks and snacks. What they do not notice is that they are being watched by {{TRM}}. They plot to kidnap Pikachu, Jolteon and the group of Magnemite and profit off their electrical power before giving them to Giovanni. Ethan receives a phone call from Officer Jenny in a nearby town telling them that they need power due to a blackout. The phone call is interrupted soon after and the Magnemite soon fly away with Jolteon in pursuit.
While Jolteon leads the Magnemite, Ethan takes the gang to the next town. At sunset, Ash decides to take the reins from Ethan to the Tauros but almost crashes it on his first try. However, he eventually gets the hang of it. Later at night, during another thunderstorm, the gang watches as the Magnemite absorb more lightning. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} plots to kidnap Pikachu, Jolteon, and the group of Magnemite and profit from their electric power before giving them to {{an|Giovanni}}.


They run into Team Rocket who do their motto as usual and announce their intentions. Using a giant magnet they plan to kidnap the Magnemite. They also use a giant gripper to kidnap Pikachu and Jolteon. Pikachu tries an electric attack but it does no damage due to the gripper being lightning absorbent. Ethan commands Jolteon instead to use Pin Missile which works much better by letting both Pokémon free. Jolteon lands on his feet but Pikachu on his back. Jolteon uses {{m|Thunder Wave}} to battle with the magnet for control of the group of Magnemite but [[Jessie]] goes into a rage and calls out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} who falls to the ground. Jolteon manages to get all the Magnemite free but in doing so left himself open to a tackle attack from Arbok. Jolteon flies back into Ethan who in turn hurts his arm on a rock. Pikachu manages to finish the battle by using {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Team Rocket’s balloon saving the group of Pokémon.
The next day, Ethan receives a phone call from the [[Officer Jenny]] in a nearby town, telling them that they need power due to a blackout. The phone call is interrupted by [[Nurse Joy]], who informs her that the [[Pokémon Center]]'s own Magnemite have run out of electricity providing emergency power, the call ending soon after. Ethan's Magnemite begin to fly away, with Jolteon in pursuit. They run into Team Rocket, who recite their {{motto}} and announce their intentions. They use a giant magnet and gripper to kidnap Pikachu, Jolteon, and the Magnemite. Pikachu tries to use {{m|Thunder Shock}}, but it does no damage due to the gripper being lightning-absorbent. Ethan commands Jolteon to instead use {{m|Pin Missile}}, which frees both Pokémon. Jolteon then uses {{m|Thunder Wave}} in an attempt to gain control of the magnet, but [[Jessie]] goes into a rage and calls out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}. Jolteon manages to get all of the Magnemite free, but it is left open to a {{m|Tackle}} attack from Arbok. Jolteon flies back into Ethan, who in turn hurts his arm on a rock. Pikachu manages to finish the battle by using {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Team Rocket, sending them flying off.


Both {{p|Jolteon}} and Ethan are seriously hurt due to the fight but Ethan makes it a point that he must take the Magnemite to the town for their electric power. Misty and Tracey plead for him not to go but it is only when Ash says that he will take the Magnemite to town for Ethan. Ash straps up one of the Tauros and Ethan tells him to take nine of the Magnemite to the town. Ash and Pikachu ride on Tauros to the town with the Magnemite. Using the whistle which controls the Magnemite Ash does pretty well until the Magnemite start vanishing in different directions. When the whistle fails to bring them back Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} doing the very same thing as Jolteon normally does. Ash counts the Magnemite in order to check if they are all there. He finds that “Number 6” a very strange looking Magnemite is missing and he goes off to look for it.
Despite his injuries, Ethan intends to take the Magnemite to the town for their electric power. As a result, Ash volunteers to take the Magnemite to town for Ethan. He straps up one of the Tauros and Ethan instructs him to take nine of the Magnemite, which he does. Using the whistle that controls the Magnemite, Ash initially does pretty well until the Magnemite start vanishing in different directions. When the whistle fails to bring them back, Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} to herd the Magnemite. While doing a roll-call for the Magnemite, Ash finds that Number 6, a very strange-looking Magnemite, is missing and goes off to look for it.


Number 6 is floating away over the stream when it is found by Ash but not only by him but also by Team Rocket who are back for a second round. Using magnet machines that are powered by rubbing themselves with panels that work on static electricity they once again plan to capture the Magnemite. Ash runs away with number 6 until he runs into Pikachu, leading Team Rocket to the other Magnemite in the process. Ash orders Pikachu to run with the other Magnemite but he does not. The other Magnemite are bagged by Team Rocket but Pikachu tries to battle back with his own electric attacks against Team Rocket’s magnets.

Ash flees with Number 6 until he runs into Pikachu, leading Team Rocket to the other Magnemite in the process. Ash orders Pikachu to run with the other Magnemite, but he does not. The other Magnemite are bagged by Team Rocket, but Pikachu tries to battle their magnets with his own Electric attacks.


Seeing Pikachu trying desperately to save its fellow Magnemite, Number 6 flies into the colliding magnetic blasts. Absorbing all the electrical, it manages to free the other Magnemite and evolve into Magneton. The other eight Magnemite use their own power to restore Pikachu. {{TRM}} try to get the Pokémon back with their magnets by rubbing themselves harder but they accidentally set themselves on fire instead. Pikachu, the Magnemite and Number 6 use their combined power to shock Team Rocket which once again sends them blasting off.

At sunset, Ash's group arrives in the town and succeeds in restoring the power. He is then reunited with Misty, Tracey, and Ethan.


At sunset Ash and the group arrive in the town followed shortly by Tracey who is leading the wagon with Misty and Ethan. They arrive to find the town once again with power. They enter the town.
Later, at the Pokémon Center, Ash is thanked by Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny for his help and is also asked by Ethan to join him in his job. Ash declines, saying that he would rather beat the [[Orange League]]. They leave the town and head onward for Trovita.

Blurb

Ash, Misty and Tracey are bound for the next Orange League gym on Trovita when they find themselves trekking across rugged landscape, miles from anywhere. Tired, hungry and wet from a downpour, the gang spots a swarm of circling Magnemite gathering electricity from the lightening. Ash later finds out about a power outage in the next town and tries to corral the Magnemite, make his way to the black out and save the day!

Plot

As Ash and his friends are walking along Mandarin Island to the Gym in Trovita, a rolling storm forces the gang to take cover. During the storm, they see a small crowd of Magnemite being struck by lightning and find that they are absorbing the electricity. Eventually, they see a Jolteon that seems to be herding the crowd of Magnemite. They also meet a man who has a wagon with a pair of Tauros pulling it. He offers them safety in the back of the wagon from the lightning; they do so and board the wagon.

After the storm passes, the man introduces himself as Ethan, a Magnemite rancher. He explains that he takes his Magnemite into thunderstorms so that he can take the absorbed electricity to towns and cities on the island. Tracey notices how well-trained the Magnemite are and asks Ethan about it. Ethan explains that he calls the Magnemite by numbers instead of names, while Jolteon is used to round up the Magnemite. The Magnemite take a liking to Pikachu and almost swallow him. Ash attempts to help Pikachu, but ends up getting shocked himself.

While Jolteon leads the Magnemite, Ethan takes the gang to the next town. At sunset, Ash decides to take the reins from Ethan to the Tauros but almost crashes it on his first try. However, he eventually gets the hang of it. Later at night, during another thunderstorm, the gang watches as the Magnemite absorb more lightning. Meanwhile, Team Rocket plots to kidnap Pikachu, Jolteon, and the group of Magnemite and profit from their electric power before giving them to Giovanni.

The next day, Ethan receives a phone call from the Officer Jenny in a nearby town, telling them that they need power due to a blackout. The phone call is interrupted by Nurse Joy, who informs her that the Pokémon Center's own Magnemite have run out of electricity providing emergency power, the call ending soon after. Ethan's Magnemite begin to fly away, with Jolteon in pursuit. They run into Team Rocket, who recite their motto and announce their intentions. They use a giant magnet and gripper to kidnap Pikachu, Jolteon, and the Magnemite. Pikachu tries to use Thunder Shock, but it does no damage due to the gripper being lightning-absorbent. Ethan commands Jolteon to instead use Pin Missile, which frees both Pokémon. Jolteon then uses Thunder Wave in an attempt to gain control of the magnet, but Jessie goes into a rage and calls out Arbok. Jolteon manages to get all of the Magnemite free, but it is left open to a Tackle attack from Arbok. Jolteon flies back into Ethan, who in turn hurts his arm on a rock. Pikachu manages to finish the battle by using Thunderbolt on Team Rocket, sending them flying off.

Despite his injuries, Ethan intends to take the Magnemite to the town for their electric power. As a result, Ash volunteers to take the Magnemite to town for Ethan. He straps up one of the Tauros and Ethan instructs him to take nine of the Magnemite, which he does. Using the whistle that controls the Magnemite, Ash initially does pretty well until the Magnemite start vanishing in different directions. When the whistle fails to bring them back, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to herd the Magnemite. While doing a roll-call for the Magnemite, Ash finds that Number 6, a very strange-looking Magnemite, is missing and goes off to look for it.

Number 6 is found floating away over the stream, just as Team Rocket returns with magnet machines that are powered by rubbing themselves with panels that work on static electricity. Ash flees with Number 6 until he runs into Pikachu, leading Team Rocket to the other Magnemite in the process. Ash orders Pikachu to run with the other Magnemite, but he does not. The other Magnemite are bagged by Team Rocket, but Pikachu tries to battle their magnets with his own Electric attacks.

Seeing Pikachu trying desperately to save its fellow Magnemite, Number 6 flies into the colliding magnetic blasts. Absorbing all of the electricity, it manages to free the other Magnemite and evolve into Magneton. The other eight Magnemite use their own power to restore Pikachu. Team Rocket tries to get the Pokémon back with their magnets by rubbing themselves harder, but they accidentally set themselves on fire instead. Pikachu, the Magnemite, and Number 6 use their combined power to shock Team Rocket, which sends them blasting off once again. At sunset, Ash's group arrives in the town and succeeds in restoring the power. He is then reunited with Misty, Tracey, and Ethan.

Later, at the Pokémon Center, Ash is thanked by Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny for his help and is also asked by Ethan to join him in his job. Ash declines, saying that he would rather beat the Orange League. They leave the town and head onward for Trovita.
