Fresh from the [[Vertress Conference]], [[Ash]] and the group are heading to [[Nuvema Town]] to meet with [[Professor Juniper]]. On the way, they come across a young girl kneeling in front of a bridge, frantically talking to herself as to whether she should cross the bridge or not. Ash is concerned and asks her what is the matter. The girl says she is worried the bridge won't support her. {{an|Iris}} reassures her everything is going to be alright. Ash volunteers to cross the bridge first to prove it is safe. | |||
Once on the other side, the girl is still worried about the integrity of the bridge. Exasperated, Ash recrosses the bridge and manages to help the girl across the bridge. Before leaving, Ash gives the girl advice. He says it is good to be careful, but there are times when she will just have to go for it. On that note, Ash and the group say farewell to the girl and continue on to Professor Juniper's lab. Above the group, one of [[Team Rocket Trio|Team Rocket]]'s flying cameras can be seen. It is revealed that Team Rocket will once again resume their plans of capturing [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]]. | |||
Ash and the group arrive at the lab and are greeted by Professor Juniper. In the lab, Ash is talking to {{an|Professor Oak}} over a video call. Professor Oak congratulates Ash on his performance in the Unova League, although Ash is disappointed that he was only able to finish in the top 8. As Ash is asking on the state of his Pokémon, {{AP|Muk}} comes up behind Professor Oak and {{m|Body Slam|Body Slams}} him, effectively ending the call. | |||
Ash is sitting in the lab's lounge, thinking aloud as to what he is going to do next. {{an|Cilan}} and Iris both say they have a lot more work before they realize their dreams and they decide they should continue on their journeys together. They are interrupted by the same frantic girl. She is outside the lab, which she thinks is full of {{p|Galvantula}} waiting to catch and shock her. Just then the lab doors open and the group comes out, surprised to see the girl from the bridge. | |||
In the lab, the girl finally reveals her name is [[Nanette]] and she has come to the lab to get her first Pokémon for free. When Professor Juniper confirms this, this sets Nanette on another panic attack. She thinks there must be a catch to getting a Pokémon for free, but the professor quickly assures the girl there is no catch. Professor Juniper then proceeds to show Nanette the three starter Pokémon she can choose from: a {{p|Tepig}}, an {{p|Oshawott}}, and a {{p|Snivy}}. Again, Nanette starts to overthink her choice and all the bad things that could happen, but Iris interrupts her, begging her to stop. Cilan then advises Nanette to choose the lively Tepig because it may balance out Nanette's cautious behavior. Nanette goes along with Cilan's advice and both human and Pokémon seem to be happy with the decision. | |||
Now that Nanette has her first Pokémon, Ash excitedly asks her for a battle, although Nanette once again is apprehensive about the matter. Ash suggests a tag battle so he can help her. | |||
- | |||
The tag battle begins between Ash and Nanette against Cilan and Iris. Both sides call out their Pokémon. It is Pikachu and Tepig against {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} and {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}. Nanette is unsure how she should proceed, so Ash starts things off by having Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, hitting Emolga and Stunfisk, although it does no damage to the latter. Nanette decides to follow Ash's lead a little too well, also commanding Tepig to use Thunderbolt, a move Tepig is unable to learn. Ash has Nanette look at her Pokédex instead to see which moves Tepig knows. Looking at it, Nanette finds one and has Tepig use {{m|Ember}}, hitting Stunfisk. Cilan has Stunfisk counter with a super-effective {{m|Mud Bomb}}, hitting Tepig. Emolga uses {{m|Discharge}} hitting everyone on the field, but doing no damage to Stunfisk. Pikachu hits Emolga back with a {{m|Quick Attack}}. | |||
All of a sudden, Team Rocket and one of their machines burst out of the woods. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] call out their two new Pokémon: [[Jessie's Frillish|Frillish]] and [[James's Amoonguss|Amoonguss]] respectively. The two use a combination of {{m|Mist}} and {{m|Stun Spore}} to reduce visibility and {{status|Paralysis|paralyze}} the group's Pokémon. Nanette is able to quickly recall her Tepig, but the others aren't so lucky. Taking advantage of the situation, James has Amoonguss Body Slam Pikachu, knocking it out. Frillish then uses {{m|Psychic}} to start moving the unconscious Pikachu to Team Rocket's machine. Thinking quickly, Ash calls out his {{AP|Unfezant}} and it use {{m|Gust}} to blow away the mist revealing Team Rocket has almost completed capturing Pikachu. | |||
Meanwhile, Nanette is having another panic attack but then recalls Ash back at the bridge advising her to go for it because she won't know what she can do until she tries. Taking hold of the situation, Nanette calls out Tepig and has it use Ember on Frillish. The Ember causes Frillish's Psychic to stop, releasing Pikachu who quickly regains consciousness and is ready to battle. Not worried, James has Amoongus use {{m|Hidden Power}} on Pikachu and Unfezant, but they are both able dodge the attack. While Amoonguss is attacking, Frillish is going for Tepig. Nanette has Tepig us {{m|Tackle}}, but it does nothing to Frillish because it is part {{type|Ghost}}. Frillish then catches Tepig and throws it into Team Rocket's machine. | |||
Attempting to cover their escape, Frillish and Amoonguss use {{m|Bubblebeam}} and Hidden Power. However, Unfezant flies in front of the attacks to protect Ash and Nanette. Despite the two attacks, it appears unfazed. Ash has Unfezant use {{m|Air Cutter}} on Amoonguss and {{m|Aerial Ace}} on Frillish, knocking both Pokémon out. {{MTR}} has Team Rocket retreat with the captured Pokémon to their balloon. The scared Tepig can be seen in a glass box under the balloon. | |||
Not giving up, Ash has Unfezant with Pikachu on her back chase after the fleeing balloon. Meowth activates the balloon's jets to try to escape, but Pikachu uses a well-aimed {{m|Electro Ball}} to blow up the balloon. Team Rocket blasts off and Tepig is falling toward the ground. However, Unfezant quickly swoops down and catches the Pokémon. | |||
Back on the ground, Nanette and Tepig gladly embrace. Feeling confident after all the has happened, Nanette promises she will no longer worry about things and runs off to begin her journey. | |||
Just then, one of Professor Juniper's assistants runs out and says her father, [[Cedric Juniper]], is calling. Inside, Professor Juniper asks her father why he called her. Cedric replies that the [[White Ruins]] have recently been discovered near [[Dragonspiral Tower]]. The ruins could give him information on {{p|Reshiram}}. The group is excited about the news, so Cedric invites them to come to the White Ruins. | |||
The group is by the cruise ship that will take them to the White Ruins. They are saying farewell to Professor Juniper. Right before they leave, the professor advises them to go to [[Aspertia City]] and challenge [[Cheren]] at the newly opened [[Aspertia Gym]]. | |||
