Synopsis

Template:Incomplete synopsis Khoury and Lyra join the group and travel together. However, while Dawn trains for her next Contest, Lyra loses her Marill, which seems to have gone to the Valley Windworks. Ash and friends look for Marill immediately, but several Magnemite appear out of nowhere and attack. The group finds refuge in the security office where they wake the security guard who calls off the Magnemite. They ask for permission to look for Marill, but when Team Rocket tries to power up their new robot in the valley windworks, it causes a power surge, locking Piplup and Cyndaquil outside the room that the humans are in.
