AG173: Difference between revisions

As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} make their way to the [[Battle Pyramid]], {{an|May}} runs towards a lake shining brightly from the reflection of the bright sun. A {{Shiny|golden}} {{p|Sudowoodo}} begins moving across Ash's and May's path as she turns around to notice it. Sudowoodo panics and freezes in position as Ash queries its [[Pokédex]] data. {{AP|Pikachu}} explodes forward with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} striking Sudowoodo for a direct hit. Ash attempts to capture the {{pkmn2|wild}} "gold" Sudowoodo, but with an extension of its upper branch, Sudowoodo evades the {{i|Poké Ball}} and after a few moments of resistance, forces the Poké Ball back towards Ash and dashes off in a plume of dust and smoke into the distance. Ash takes a direct hit from the Poké Ball and falls to the ground.

The path leads our heroes into a nearby town as {{an|Brock}} suggests visiting the local restaurant/parlor. The establishment is filled with patrons with the suspected goal of attempting to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} the "golden" Sudowoodo. May notices a poster inside advertising the next [[Pokémon Contest]]. As May mentions her sighting of the Sudowoodo, almost every patron inside of the establishment move towards May and interrogate her about the Sudowoodo sighting. Everyone begins fighting over the incident as [[Keenan|a young man]] motions for our heroes to evade the feuding patrons. As our heroes successfully escape the mob of people, {{TRT}} is perched atop the restaurant spying on the overall situation. The young boy leads everyone into a nearby building as he checks his surroundings and closes the curtains. The boy introduces himself as Keenan while our heroes exchange introductions. Keenan walks over and opens a drawer and removes a small portrait. Keenan shows the image to Ash which portrays him and the golden Sudowoodo.

Now located at the laboratory, Team Rocket listen in on the conversation. {{MTR}} makes the depiction of how Sudowoodo would benefit {{an|Giovanni}} and they would be up for a "big" promotion. In Giovanni's residence all of the surroundings are made of gold as he strides outside and notices the magnificent golden "Sudowoodo".

Team Rocket arrive at the location where our heroes first made contact with the golden Sudowoodo. [[Jessie]] makes the suggestion of submerging a Sudowoodo into the water creating the "golden" effect. After a few moments, Meowth is dressed in a Sudowoodo outfit as Jessie and [[James]] move in to blast Meowth into the water. An explosion occurs as the true "golden" Sudowoodo makes its appearance. Meowth dresses Jessie in a rubber suit and hands her a net as she rockets towards Sudowoodo and collides with the body of water. Jessie explodes from the water with Sudowoodo successfully captured. Our heroes arrive on the scene to halt Team Rocket as Pikachu's electric sacs begin sparking. With the sight of electrical energy, James and Meowth dash off into the distance. Keenan attempts to return Sudowoodo to its Poké Ball but it successfully evades the red ray of energy as it collides with Jessie. Brock calls upon {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}}. Bonsly strides over and attempts conversing with Sudowoodo but it ignores Bonsly and dashes off into the distance. Keenan begins running towards Sudowoodo but manages to trip and fall to the ground. After Keenan recovers from the fall, he manages to let slip how Sudowoodo actually managed to turn "golden".

Sudowoodo was placed inside of a strange machine as Keenan pulls the switch. Explosions begin to take place as energy and vibrant colors illuminate the laboratory. After a few moments, the glass shatters and a "golden" Sudowoodo is revealed. Sudowoodo notices its new "golden" exterior and begins to cry. Sudowoodo has been evading Keenan after the incident refusing to be returned to its Poké Ball.

 

Ash confirms to Keenan that he will assist him in recovering Sudowoodo. Meanwhile, Team Rocket has been actively tracking Sudowoodo and is now suspended in the air above Sudowoodo. Meowth holds a rocket device and begins blasting capture devices towards Sudowoodo. Team Rocket and Sudowoodo close in on the city as Sudowoodo manages to evade Team Rocket and slips into the same parlor which housed all the men who were looking for Sudowoodo. Everyone looks surprised doubting what they have seen as Sudowoodo begins moving backwards and blasts out of the parlor followed by a group of men. Keenan waves and motions Sudowoodo towards his location but Sudowoodo just ignores Keenan's call and heads in the opposite direction.

 

Meowth, now equipped with a remote device, launches two mechanical devices towards Sudowoodo's direction. Sudowoodo manages to evade the men escaping behind a group of nearby boxes. The two mechanical parts begin deceleration and attach together forming {{TP|Team Rocket|a mecha|mechas}}. The mecha blasts forward just managing to miss Sudowoodo. Pikachu electrocutes the mecha but it has no effect. The mecha blasts forward with another attack, as Keenan rushes forward to defend against the attack with a shovel. As the mecha moves forward with another attack, Keenan grasps onto the mecha's legs attempting to halt it from further attacks. Sudowoodo becomes inspired from Keenan's heroic efforts and strikes forward knocking the mecha backwards. Sudowoodo rotates forward with a final strike destroying the mecha. Pikachu then follows by blasting Team Rocket off once again. Keenan thanks Sudowoodo for its heroic efforts as the group of men manage to locate Sudowoodo once more as our heroes escape into laboratory. Sudowoodo is placed inside of the strange machine once more and the effect is reversed returning Sudowoodo to its previous body.
