(Episode opens with Brock, Misty, Clemont, Ash,

Pikachu, Iris and Axew going along the streets of
New Tork City on a mostly clear, early evening with
some cumulous clouds moving across the sky. A
breeze is blowing in the area, the citys bustling
with people going up & down the streets, some of
the lights start to come on and the intersections
are busy with cars driving through. Clemont turns
over to the audience and casually speaks to them.)
Clemont (casually): Oh, hello guys.
Ash (casually): Hey.
Pikachu: Pika-chu.
Misty (casually): Hi, there.
Iris (casually): Hi, guys.
Axew: Axew.
Brock (casually): Hey, there. (He turns over to
Iris.) So, Iris, how has your travelling through Johto
been going?
Iris: Its been great. I visited Cianwood City and
found out they were building a new Safari Zone.
Ash (fascinated): Really?
Iris: Mmm-hmm, and there could be some rare
Pokemon there.
Misty: We should go check it out sometimes.

Brock: Yeah.
(They continue on down the street. As they do,
they go past a radio station, which is playing a
catchy song at the moment. The tower has the
call sign PNTW- New Tork Radio on the side of it.
Then, they go past Times Square & then go by the
tallest skyscraper in the whole city. Suddenly,
Pikachu senses a strange presence nearby. He
jumps off Ashs shoulder.)
Pikachu (concerned): Pika.
Ash: What is it, Pikachu?
(Now, a light blue aura surrounds Pikachu and he,
along with everyones PokeBalls, mysteriously
begins to float in the air.)
Ash (surprised): What the?
Pikachu (concerned): Pika.
Iris: Whats doing this?
Misty: I dont know.
(They go higher into the air and then, the
PokeBalls start circling around.)
Ash: Well, whatever it is, its not getting away with
this. Quick, Pikachu use ThunderBolt!
Pikachu: Pika-chuuu!!!

(He releases a powerful bolt of yellow electricity

and he and the PokeBalls are released from the
mysterious force.)
Ash: I got you!
(He jumps up into the air and catches Pikachu and
all the PokeBalls.)
Ash: You okay, buddy?
Pikachu (reassuring): Pika.
Ash: Thats good.
(He gives his friends their PokeBalls back. Just
then, a Mismagius appears in front of them.)
Mismagius: (cackles.)
Ash: So, youre the one doing this!
Pikachu (concurring): Pika, Pika!
Mismagius: Mis.
(Now, it releases a bright light from its body, hitting
Pikachu and doing damage to him.)
Ash: Now, use Thunderbolt again!
Pikachu: Pika-chuuu!!!
(He releases a powerful bolt of yellow electricity at
Mismagius, landing a direct hit and doing some
great damage to it. The Mismagius flies off.)
Ash: Way to go, Buddy.

Pikachu: Pika-chu.
(They resume on down the street.)
Ash: Well, that was really weird.
Iris: Yeah. Why would that Mismagius want to steal
our PokeBalls?
Ash: Who knows?
(Just as they continue pondering about it, they
suddenly hear a noise close by.)
Misty: What was that?
Clemont: I dont know. Lets go see.
(They go over to the source. They come to an
alleyway, where they find a trainer named Ian,
who is using his Lilligant to fend off a Sableye. Ian
has short, brunette hair, green eyes, and is
wearing a yellow-green shirt, brown pants and
sneakers. The Sableyes claws becomes
surrounded by a black aura with a purple outline.
Now, it takes the form of a claw and it slashes
Lilligant with them, dong a good amount of
damage to her.)
Ian: Now Lilligant, use Petal Blizzard!
Lilligant: Lilli-gant!
(Multiple pink petals circle around Lilligant's body
until the amount of petals keep growing until a

tornado of pink petals swirl around its body. The

tornado envelops Sableye, doing a great amount of
damage to it. It flees from them.)
Ian: Great job, there Lilligant.
Lilligant: Lilli.
(He gives Lilligant some Poke Puffs.)
Lilligant (delightedly): Lilligant!
(The gang comes over to them.)
Brock: Excuse me, are you two all right?
Ian: Were doing fine now.
Misty: Oh, good.
Ian: Yeah. My names Ian, by the way.
Misty: Its nice to meet you, Ian. My names Misty.
Iris: Im Iris. This is Axew.
Axew: Axew.
Clemont: My names Clemont.
Ash: Im Ash, and this is Pikachu.
Pikachu: Pika-chu.
Brock: And Im Brock.
Ash: Was that Sableye trying to steal your
PokeBalls?
Ian: Yeah, it was. How did you know that?

Ash: The same thing happened to us.

Pikachu: Pika, Pika.
Ian: Why am Im not surprised about that.
Misty: How long has this been going on?
Ian: Its been going on for more than a week.
Brock: Really?
Ian: Mmm-hmm, and many people have lost their
Pokemon.
Iris: Thats terrible.
Ian: Yeah. So after a while, some have been trying
to fend them off, but more of them just keep
coming & wont stop.
Clemont: Ahh. Perhaps we could help out with the
problem.
Ian: Thatd just be great. Well, if youll excuse me,
I need to regroup with my friends. It was nice to
have met you.
Ash: Thanks. Same to you.
(He walks away and the others recommence on
walking down the street. Just then, Ashs and Iriss
stomachs grumble.)
Ash: I guess its time to get some dinner.
Pikachu: Pika.

Iris: You said it, Ash. (She turns over to Brock.)

Hey, Brock. Is there a restaurant we can stop at?
Brock: Let me look.
(He pulls out a map of the city, which shows all of
the various streets, restaurants and rest stops all
across the area.)
Brock: Ahh. Theres a pizza buffet restaurant not
too far from here we can stop at.
Iris: Sounds great.
Axew: Axew.
(They continue on down the block. Thirteen
minutes later, they arrive at the restaurant and
head inside. The cashier, Jasmine, awaits them
behind the counter. She has short blue hair, dark
sapphire eyes, and is wearing the restaurant
uniform, which consists of a short-sleeved
buttoned shirt, work pants and loafers.)
Jasmine: Afternoon, everyone. How are you all
doing?
Clemont: Were doing fine, thanks.
Jasmine: Well, good to hear. I take it you want five
for the buffet?
(They all nod their heads.)

Jasmine: All right, no problem. Thatll be 3696

PokeYen, please.
(They pay the exact amount of PokeYen.)
Jasmine: Thank you. Now, what size cups would
you like?
Brock: Large, please.
Jasmine: Okay.
(She gives them each one cup.)
Jasmine: You all enjoy yourselves.
(They each grab a tray & a plate and then head to
a five-person seated table. Moments later, Ash, Iris
and Misty have some white Alfredo sauce & stuffed
crust pepperoni pizzas, while Brock and Clemont
have Barbeque sauce pizza & a supreme pizza,
respectively. They also each have some cheesy
breadsticks, cinnamon rolls & sticks, some pastas
and a salad. Ash, Clemont, and Iris have some
orange Japanese soda, and Misty and Brock have
some fruit juice.)
Misty (contended): Oh. This is really delicious.
Ash: Oh, yeah it sure is.
Pikachu (agreeing): Pika.
(They continue eating. Moments later, they have
their cinnamon rolls. Iris turns over to the others.)

Iris: So, why do you think these ghosts are stealing

the PokeBalls?
Brock: Hmm. Well, they probably could just be
causing mischief to many of the trainers.
Clemont: Thats a good theory, but this would
seem a little out of that range.
Brock: Yeah, I guess youre right about that.
Ash: They could be doing this out of revenge.
Iris: Well, that could be true, but what they could
be getting revenge for?
(Ash ponders for a moment.)
Ash: Maybe for getting pushed out of their old
homes.
Clemont: Yeah, but there arent too many places
around here they can stay in.
Ash (realizing): Yeah, youre right.
Misty: Perhaps theyre doing it as some part of a
deal?
Iris: What kind of deal?
Misty: Well, some trainers could be offering them
some rare items, and in exchange for that, theyll
give them a good meal.
Brock: Okay, but they can pretty much go and
gather up some food themselves.

Misty: I guess youre right about that.

Brock: Any other ideas?
(They all shakes their heads as if to say, No.)
Brock: Yeah, neither do I.
Misty: Lets see if Quinn & Diana can help us out.
(She goes into her bag, gets the Pokepilot out,
turns it on and calls Quinn & Diana, who are out in
the village, setting up a large movie screen for the
upcoming island film festival.)
Diana: Hi, there guys. Hows everything going?
Clemont: Were doing well, Diana. Thats a very
nice screen youre setting up.
Quinn: Well, thank you. Its going to be a big
festival this year.
Brock: Im sure it will be.
Diana: Yep. So, what are you guys up to?
Iris: Right now, were having a really good lunch.
Quinn: Thats very nice. What else is going on?
Ash: We also found out that a lot of Ghost-type
Pokemon have been stealing many peoples
PokeBalls.
Diana (intrigued): Really?
Brock: Yep. At the moment, were trying to come

up with ideas of why theyre doing this, and so far,

weve only come with few ideas that arent
working, so do you know how we can think of more
solutions?
Quinn: Sure we do. To start off, you need to have
the problem clearly defined. While its pretty
simple, its also really vital because if you dont
properly understand it, the solutions could end up
being ineffective or fail completely. So, to help
define the problem, ask specific questions and look
at the problem from different angles.
(As he speaks, the icons highlight to the words
being spoken.)
Misty: Okay, that sounds good. Now what?
Diana: Next, you define the objective. Basically,
you state your aim as another way to reach the
nature of the problem. Also, keep in mind that
youll have to remember the knowns & unknowns
of the problem and figure out where to find the
right data thatll accomplish your goals.
Clemont: All right, what do we do now?
Quinn: Now, you systematically gather information.
As you define your problem & goal, get as many
facts as you can in order to get a clear picture of
the problem. Once you get enough, organize it in

an effective manner, by either rewording,

condensing or summarizing it.
Iris: Thats pretty important. What next?
Diana: The next thing is to look over some of the
data you have & analyze its importance. As you do
this, look for some links & relationships, as itll give
a better understanding of the overall situation.
Also, it helps if you break up some of the
information into smaller, more manageable parts.
Brock: Okay, thats very helpful.
Quinn: Oh, theres plenty more. After that, you
generate a range of potential results. Whats
interesting about this is that one way you can do
this is through reverse brainstorming, where, as
the name implies, you reverse the questions you
ask yourself.
Ash: Thats a good one. What now after that?
Diana: Now, you evaluate them and make a choice.
This one may be a bit obvious, but it is important
to analyze all the prospective choices for your
suitability, which you can do by running an
experiment or use a simulation to see the
consequences of a given result. In other words,
choose a solution that not only seems likely to
work, but also suits your needs and doesnt create
any further problems.

Iris: Thats a tricky one.

Quinn: Indeed, it is. Now, you need to implement a
solution. Now that youve chosen the best
solution, time to put it into motion. What you could
do is try it on a limited trial scale, or go all in with
it. Also, keep in mind that unforeseen problems
will arise at this stage.
Brock: Okay, we can do that. Whats next?
Diana: You review & evaluate the outcome. Now
that a solution has been put into effect, you need
to monitor it, as well as review the results. Also,
ask yourself certain questions, like if its working, if
there are any new, unforeseen problems occurring,
if its allowing you to reach your goal, and etc.
Misty: Okay, anything else?
Quinn: Lastly, adjust your solution if you need to.
Know that problem solving works in a cycle, and
that a number of different solutions need some
evaluation. If the problem isnt solved, look for an
alternate solution and try again from the start, or
reconsider your initial one and make some
adjustments to it.
Misty: So, thats all we need to do?
Quinn: Yep, and there are more ways you can hone
them in, like playing thought-provoking games,
doing some mental exercises or taking up a hobby.

Clemont: Thats some really helpful information.

Diana: Indeed, it is, which is why were going to
show you something.
Ash: All right, then.
Pikachu: Pika.
(Pan to the left to see a panel showing a few
trainers trying to solve a tricky problem.)
Quinn: So, are you guys ready?
Iris: You bet.
Axew: Axew.
Diana: Very well, then. Here, this group of trainers
are trying to help their hometown out with a
problem. What do you think the problem here is?
Ash: A big swarm of Phantump & Trevenant are
invading the city.
Quinn: Very well, Ash. Now, what do you think
their objective for this is?
Iris: To figure out why theyre invading and put a
stop to it.
Diana: Okay, Iris. Where do you think they should
gather the information from?
Brock: They could visit the swarms forest home
and see whats going on there.

Quinn: Okay, Brock. What part of the information

do you think they should look over & analyze?
Misty: They should analyze whats been going on in
the forest & see if theres a similar connection.
Diana: All right, Misty. Now, how do you think they
should come up with possible solutions?
Clemont: They should ask specific questions and do
some reverse brainstorming.
Diana: Very well, Clemont. Great job so far, you
guys.
Brock: Thanks, you guys.
Quinn & Diana: Youre welcome.
Diana: Now, if youll excuse us, we need get back
to setting this up. See you guys later.
Clemont: See you, guys.
(Misty turns the Pokepilot off, puts it back in her
bag and they all resume having their desserts.
Cross fade to three minutes later, where theyve
finished eating and are thinking of ideas.)
Misty: All right, how about this: someones making
them steal the PokeBalls for ransom.
Iris: Okay, but what could they possibly want?
Misty: Maybe some super rare items.

Clemont: Sounds plausible, but there arent too

many around here they could get.
Misty: Yeah, good point there.
Clemont: What if one of them is being tortured and
they have to do this deed, or else theyll do more
pain?
Brock: I dont know, Clemont. There couldnt be
any trainers out there who would really be cruel
enough to do something like that.
Clemont: Youve got a good point there.
Ash: Okay, guys, heres another one: what if the
ghost Pokemon are being hypnotized into doing
this?
Clemont: How do you figure that, Ash?
Ash: Well, maybe someones created a kind of
signal to hypnotize & control them, and when
theyve gathered enough PokeBalls, they bring
them back to the source.
Iris: You make a good point there, Ash, but where in
the city would it be coming from?
Ash: It might be from one of the radio stations.
Misty: Okay, but if it is, how would we find the
correct one?

Iris: We could track one of them and see where it

goes.
Misty: All right, sounds good to me. Before we do
that, we should probably go & catch some of them.
Brock: Good idea, Misty. (He turns over to
Clemont.) Hey, Clemont. Do you have any traps
we can keep them in?
Clemont: Sure do, but Ill need to make some
modifications to them first.
Iris: Okay, no problem.
(He gets out some automatic open & close
containment traps starts getting to work on them.)
Iris: So, what do you guys say we finish up what we
were doing before?
Ash: Okay, but lets see if the audience wants to do
it before we do.
Misty: All right. (She turns over to the audience.)
Hey, you guys up for doing this? (She casually
waits for an answer from the audience for one
second.) Oh, okay then.
(Dissolve back to the situation.)
Iris (V.O): Okay, lets get to it. How do you think
they can evaluate their choices? (She casually
waits for an answer from the audience for one and

a half seconds.) They can check to see if each one

works. All right, then.
Ash (V.O): Now, how do you think they should apply
their solution? (She casually waits for an answer
from the audience for one and a half seconds.) By
trying it on a limited trial scale. Sure, why not.
Misty (V.O): How should their solution be
evaluated? (She casually waits for an answer from
the audience for one and a half seconds.) By
checking to see if it has any unforeseen problems.
Very well.
Brock (V.O): Finally, how do you think they should
adjust it? (She casually waits for an answer from
the audience for one and a half seconds.) They
should re-evaluate it and seeing if there are any
problems with it. You got it.
(Dissolve to the gang and Iris casually speaks to
the audience.)
Iris (casually): You guys did well.
Axew: Axew.
(Now, we pan over to see Clemont making the final
adjustments to the traps.)
Clemont: All right, that should just about do it.
Brock: Thats good, Clemont.
Clemont: Well, thank you Brock.

(He hands them each one trap and demonstrates

how it works. He presses a button & the doors
automatically slide open & then shut.)
Ash (confidently): All right, lets do it.
Pikachu: Pika, Pika.
(Clemont pulls out a special Pokemon radar from
his pocket and sets it to only seek out ghost types.
They leave the restaurant and go on down the
street. Moments later, the radar picks up a signal
emanating from the citys Pokemon Center.)
Clemont: Over there.
(They quickly head inside and find a Haunter
flying around, taking as many of the trainers
PokeBalls as it can. It goes over to the food stand
and starts gobbling down a lot of the food. The
trainers look on with either complete annoyance or
in disgust. Nurse Joy slams her fist down on the
table.)
Nurse Joy (angrily): Oh, that does it!
(She gets up from her desk and angrily goes to the
Haunter.)
Joy (furiously): All right, you! Youve caused
nothing but trouble to me and the trainers since
you got here! Im going have to insist that you get
out of here right now!

(It gives her a big lick to the face.)

Joy (revolted): EWWW!!!
(She wipes the saliva off her face.)
Haunter (laughing): Haunt-haunt-haunt-haunt
(The gang steps forward towards them.)
Misty (very sternly): Hey, you! Quit messing
around with everyone here!
Iris: Yeah!
(It stops & turns towards Iris.)
Iris: Uh-oh.
(It comes flying towards her and slovenly licks her
face, covering her in saliva.)
Iris (disgusted): Yuck!
(She wipes the saliva off.)
Haunter (laughing): Haunt-haunt-haunt-haunt
Clemont: You okay, Iris?
Iris: Yeah, Im all right.
Clemont: Oh, good.
Ash: Now, lets get that Haunter.
(Iris steps up.)
Iris: Let me handle this one, guys. Axew, use
Dragon Rage!

(He opens his mouth & fires a powerful blast of

blue & black energy, which forms into the shape of
a dragon at Haunter, landing a direct hot, dealing
some damage and paralyzes it for a moment. She
throws the trap underneath the Haunter, presses
the button and it slides open. A red tractor bean
hit Haunter, turns it into pure red energy and pulls
it into the trap and automatically closes up.)
Brock (complimenting): Good job there, Iris.
Iris: Thanks.
(Nurse Joy comes up to them.)
Joy: Thanks for trapping that Haunter. It was really
being a big pain.
Ash: Hey, it was no problem at all, Nurse Joy.
Pikachu: Pika-chu.
(They give all the trainers their PokeBalls back &
exit the Pokemon Center. Now, a montage goes on
where goes all over New Tork trapping &
containing as many Ghost Pokemon as they can,
giving back the stolen PokeBalls and being
thanked for helping out. Ash stops a Banette with
another of Pikachus ThunderBolt, Misty uses her
Alomomolas Water Pulse to stop a Dusclops, Brock
has Swampert thwart a Lampent with a Mud Shot,
and Clemont stuns a Drifblim with Luxrays Charge

Beam. Montage ends at an hour later, where

theyve entrapped ten more Ghost Pokemon.)
Ash: Phew. That last one was pretty tough.
Pikachu (exhausted): Pika.
Iris (concurring): Yeah.
(They place the traps down on the ground.)
Iris: All right, so how are we going to find the right
radio tower?
(They all ponder for a moment.)
Brock: Hmm, I think I have something.
(Cross fade to one minute later, where theyve laid
out six PokeBalls on the sidewalk and are hiding
near the side of the building, waiting for a ghost
Pokemon for come along.)
Misty (whispering): You really think thisll work?
Brock (whispering): Dont worry, just give it some
time.
(Just as they continue waiting, a Misdrevus shows
up and notices the PokeBalls. Its eyes glow light
blue and a light blue aura surrounds the PokeBalls,
which start floating up into the air and the
Misdrevus takes off with them.)
Clemont: Come on.

(He signals to the others and they trail after it.

Moments later, they arrive at a radio station, which
is emitting a bizarre signal from the tower. It has
the call sign PCWV on the building. They head
inside, go down the hallway. Moments later, they
come to the main control room, look through the
door window and see the control console, as well
as an Inkay, who is waving its tentacles out,
shooting out multiple pink shapes of energy on one
side of an energy bank, and a Gourgeist firing a
beam of purple circles from a pink orb in front of
itself on the other. Both attacks are filtered
through the bank & transformed into a radio signal.
Now, they look over to the other side of the room,
where they see Team Rocket hoarding over the
stole PokeBalls. The Misdrevus from earlier drops
the PokeBalls into a box filled with others.)
Jessie: Excellent. Another successful haul.
Meowth: Yes, the Boss will be thrilled with these.
James: I have to say, this is one of the cleverest
plans weve ever had.
Meowth: You said it.
(The gang comes barging into the room.)
All: Team Rocket!
Jessie, James and Meowth: Oh, no! The twerps!

Ash: We should have known it was you behind this.

James: Yes, well youre too little, too late.
Misty: Dont be so sure about that. Well make sure
you dont succeed at this!
Jessie: Then you better prepare yourselves for
trouble!
James: Yeah, and while youre at it, make that
double!
Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!
James: To unite all peoples within our nations!
Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
James: To extend our reach to the stars above!
Jessie: Jessie!
James: James!
Jessie: Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!
James: Surrender now or prepare to fight!
Meowth: Meowth! That's right!
Wobbuffet: Wooobb-uffet!
Brock: So, are you going to give up the PokeBalls or
do this the hard way?
James: I think you know the answers pretty
obvious.

Jessie: Yeah, youre going to have battle through us

to get them back.
Misty: Wed thought youd say that. Alomomola, I
choose you!
Clemont: Come on out, Luxray!
Brock: Swampert, go!
(They toss their PokeBalls into the air and the
three Pokemon emerge from them.)
Alomomola: Alom!
Swampert: Swamp-ert!
Iris: Lets go, Axew!
Axew: Axew!
Ash: Pikachu, go!
Pikachu: Pika!
Jessie: Gourgeist, its time!
James: You too, Inkay!
Inkay: In-kay!
Gourgeist: Gourg!
Meowth: Hold on a moment. Let me even up the
playing field.
(He presses a button and summons forth a
Dusknoir, a Golurk and a Chandelure.)

James: Inkay, use Psybeam!

Jessie: Gourgeist, you use Seed Bomb!
Inkay: Inkay!
(It flips upside down and fires a streaky blue beam
with pink circles inside it from its mouth at
Alomomola, hitting her and dealing damage.)
Gourgeist: Gourg!
(It opens its mouth and fires multiple glowing
green seeds from it at Swampert, which explode
upon hitting him, doing a good amount of damage
with each hit. One of Golurks fists becomes
surrounded in red-orange fire and it punches
Luxray with it, doing some damage to it. Now,
Dusknoir opens its mouth and an orb of yellow
electricity forms inside it. Then, it fires a massive
beam of electricity from the orb at Axew, doing
some damage to him. Chandelure forms a ball of
black and purple energy with black static around it
above itself and it fires it at Pikachu, hitting him &
doing damage.)
Clemont: Luxray, use Swift!
Iris: Axew, use Dragon Claw!
Ash: Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!
Brock: Swampert, use Mud Shot!
Misty: Alomomola, Water Pulse!

(Luxray jumps into the air and his tail glows yellow.
He swings it, firing multiple yellow stars with
golden sparkles around them at Inkay, doing
damage to it.)
Axew: Axew!
(Both of his claws glow light blue and slashes at
Gourgeist, doing damage to it.)
Pikachu: Pika-chuuu!!!
(He releases a powerful bolt of yellow electricity at
Dusknoir, landing a direct hit and doing some great
damage to it.) Swampert: Swamp!
(He fires a huge ball of mud from his mouth at
Golurk, hitting it and doing damage. Now,
Alomomola opens its mouth and a blue ball of
energy appears in front of it. Then, it fires a
spiraling stream of water at Chandelure, dealing a
great amount of damage to it.)
Brock: Now, use Sludge Wave!
Iris: Axew, Night Slash!
Clemont: Luxray, Thunder Fang!
Misty: Use Aqua Jet!
Ash: Iron Tail!
Swampert: Swamp!

(A big wave of dark purple sludge forms around

Swampert. It is then hurled at Gourgeist, doing
some damage to it.)
Axew: Ax-ewwww!!
(One of his claws glows dark purple and slashes
Chandelure with it, doing a good amount to it.)
Luxray: Lux!
(Luxrays fangs glow yellow and sparks of yellow
electricity surround them. It then pounces at
Dusknoir, biting it and doing a considerable
amount of damage of it. Now, Alomomolas body
briefly becomes surrounded in blue energy. The
glow fades and it gets surrounded in water and
launches itself like a rocket at Inkay, doing damage
to it.)
Pikachu: Chu!
(Pikachus tail becomes surrounded in white
sparkles and then gets surrounded in a white
outline, which turns to iron.)
Pikachu: Pika!
(He turns around and heads towards Golurk with it,
landing a hit and doing damage to it.)
Jessie: Now, Gourgeist, Shadow Ball!
James: Inkay, Tackle attack!

(Gourgeist forms a ball of black & purple energy

with black static around it and fires it at Axew.
Now, Inkay charges through the air towards
Swampert. The flames on Chandelure grow bigger
and forms a blue-white ball above it, and releases
a wind of flames at Luxray. Golurk becomes
surrounded in yellow electricity and fires a
powerful beam at Alomomola. Dusknoir puts its
hands together in front of it and silver sparkles
form in between them. Now, it raises them up in
the air & the sparkles expand, forming into a silver
orb of energy, which grows larger until its bigger
than its body. Finally, the glow fades out from the
orb, forming into a large, grey boulder with a
transparent silver glow. It rests in Dusknoirs arms
and throws it at Pikachu. All the attacks hit their
marks, doing a varying amount of damage to each
Pokemon.)
Jessie: Now, use Dark Pulse!
James: Inkay, use Foul Play!
(Gourgeist forms a pink orb in front of itself and
then fires a beam of purple circles at Pikachu.
Inkay goes for Axew. One of Golurks forearms
glows white and throws it at Swampert. Next,
Chandelures body becomes surrounded in light
blue electricity and releases multiple beams of
light blue electricity at Alomomola & Pikachu.

Now, Dusknoir opens its mouth and fires light blue

beams of energy at Luxray.)
All: Dodge them!
(They all move out of the way of the attacks,
narrowly evading them, but the Shock Wave hits
Pikachu & Alomomola, doing little damage to the
former, but do a lot of damage to the latter.)
Iris: Axew, Dragon Pulse!
Misty: Shadow Ball!
Ash: Pikachu, Electro Ball!
Clemont: Use Wild Charge!
Brock: Use Ancient Power!
Axew: Axxx-ew!
(He opens his mouth and a turquoise ball of energy
appears in front of him. Now, he fires it at Golurk.)
Pikachu: Pika! Chu!
(All the electricity condenses at the end of his tail
and forms into an orange-yellow orb of electricity
with sparks of yellow electricity coming off of it.)
Pikachu: Pika!
(He throws it at Inkay. Next, Alomomola opens its
mouth and forms of ball of black & purple energy
with black static surrounding it in front of itself and
fires it at Dusknoir. Now, Luxray runs at Gourgeist,

then its body becomes surrounded by yellow

electricity. Swamperts body glows white and it
creates a silver energy ball in between its hands
and launches it at Chandelure.)
Jessie: Gourgeist, protect Inkay with Dark Pulse!
(Gourgeist forms a pink orb in front of itself and
then fires a beam of purple circles at the attack,
cancelling it out, but still takes the hit of the Wild
Charge. The other three Pokemon get out of the
way of the attacks, narrowly evading them.)
James: Thanks for the save there.
Jessie: No problem, James. Now, Dark Pulse again!
James: Inkay, use Psywave!
(Gourgeist forms a pink orb in front of itself and
then fires a beam of purple circles at Pikachu.
Inkay flips upside down and fires a streaky blue
beam with pink circles inside it from its mouth at
Luxray. Now, Golurk vanishes into thin air and
reappears behind Alomomola. Next, Dusknoir's
hands become surrounded in a shadowy aura, and
it reaches its arms out. Two fists fire out of
Dusknoir's hands and at Swampert, all while
having a gray trail that connects back to its.
Chandelure lowers its arms and fires a blue-white
stream of fire at Axew. Every move makes a direct

hit, dealing a considerable amount of damage to

electricity and fires multiple bolts of yellow
electricity from his body. Now, Axew opens his
mouth and fires a powerful blast of blue & black
energy into the air at Chandelure. The beam forms
into the shape of a blue & black dragon. All the
attacks collide into the opponents, delivering a
good amount of damage.)

Misty: That was a good move there, Clemont.

Clemont: Thanks, Misty. Same to you.
James: All right, no more fooling around! Inkay,
Foul Play!
Jessie: Use Seed Bomb!

Axew: Axew!
(His body becomes surrounded in an invisible
energy, then a bright flash of yellow light appears
in front of his face and faces towards Gourgeist.
Now, he shoots himself at it and an orb of light
purple energy with spiraling yellow streaks around
it appears around his body.)

Inkay. Now, Alomomola opens its mouth and a
blue ball of energy appears in front of it. Then, it

Team Rocket: Uh-oh.
Wobbuffet: Wobb-uffet!
(The attack collides with them, resulting in a
massive explosion that knock out the three ghost
Pokemon, but sends Team Rocket flying through
the roof of the station.)
All: Team Rockets blasting off again!
Wobbuffet: Wobbu-Wobb!
(They fly off into the distance.)
Iris: All right, lets stop this once & for all.
Clemont: Yeah.
(He goes over to the control console and shuts
down the radio transmission, but the ghost
Pokemon are still going out to steal more
PokeBalls.)
Ash: Huh? Why arent they stopping?
Clemont: Its probably because it was a strong
signal and it had been going on for a week.
Ash: Oh. So, what now?
Clemont: Theres only one other way we can stop
this.

Iris: How?
Clemont (concerned): Well have to destroy the
energy bank. However,
Misty: However, what?
Clemont: Theres a good chance that it might send
us flying out of here like Team Rocket.

mouth and Luxrays body becomes surrounded in
yellow sparks of electricity and fires multiple bolts

of yellow electricity from his body. All the attacks

collide into the machine and they explode on
impact, destroying the console. All the stored
energy is released. Now, we cut to see some of
the ghost Pokemon return to normal & drop the
PokeBalls. Cut back to the station, where the
smoke clears and the gang is still standing, though
theyre covered in soot. They see the remains of
the bank.)
All: Yeah!
Pikachu: Pika!
Axew: Axew!
(They all give each other a high-five. We dissolve
to moments later, theyre outside the station.
They open the traps and release the ghost
Pokemon, who are now free of the radio signal and
either flies off to a nearby forest, or return to their
respective trainers.)
Clemont: It might be a while before it fully wears
off, but it wont be too long.
Brock: Thats good to know.
(They turn over to the audience.)
All (casually): Thanks, you guys.
Pikachu: Pikachu.
Axew: Axew.

(Diagonal wipe to five minutes later, where theyre

back at the Pokemon center, returning all of the
stolen PokeBalls to their respective trainers.)
Ash: That was an intense episode. Did you guys
enjoy it? (He casually waits for an answer from the
audience for one second.) Oh, okay then. Well
see you later.
Pikachu: Pikachu.
(They casually wave goodbye to the audience and
resume on returning the PokeBalls. Now, we pan
up from them & fade to black, ending the episode.)
