887: Tsuioku no Torein! Shitoron to Horubī!!
880: A Trip Down Memory Train!
The twerps still on the way to Anistar... immediately fall into a random pit out of nowhere. "Hey, what is this?" asks Bonnie, and she gets her answer in the form of a very early motto.
"Prepare for trouble, that's what this is!"
"And make it double, our team never misses!"
"To protect the world, from devastation!"
"To unite all people within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"Falling into a pit trap fits you like a glove!"
Jesse!"
"and James!"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare for a top-down fight!"
"MEOWTH, THAT'S RIGHT!"
Team Rocket taunts the twerps, as Serena informs them her hair's a mess, in an attempt to gain sympathy from the villains who dropped her into a dangerous pit trap.
Ash attempts to have Pikachu use Thunderbolt, but... it doesn't work, because Team Rocket came prepared with one of their electric proof hard light devices. Clemont tries Bunnelby's Mud Shot even though that couldn't possibly...
Oh, it totally works, leaving Team Rocket with their figurative pants down, and blasting them off before the theme song. However, that pit isn't very stable, and the twerps fall down yet another hole and take...
That trip leads them into an abandoned mine shaft, where Pikachu makes note of the mine cart tracks, that the twerps decide to follow even though none f them knows which way if the correct way to the exit. As they walk down the long lonely walk down the cold dank, and well-lit abandoned Mineshaft, Bonnie pipes in that she's having Deja Vu. This reminds her of the time that they met Bunnelby, and Clemont looks bizarrely frightened by this memory.

The story begins after Clembot threw Clemont out of the Lumiose Gym, and he's worked up a powerful hunger trying to think of ways to get back in. Bonnie brings him back a single apple from their house, but before Clemont can eat, Bunnelby shows up and steals it.
Ash and Serena interrupt Clemont to tell him they can't imagine Bunnelby doing that, but Clemont ignores their butting in to continue. They chased Bunnelby until losing him on some street corner. They see it poke it's head out near some very dangerous construction equipment, and chase it down, and decide against all logic and reason to jump into the very blatantly blocked of section of street to fall down a loooooooooong drop.
Man of science, my ass.
They land in a subway tunnel, however the Subway Bosses are nowhere to be found as this is an abandoned Subway.
Having lost complete track of Bunnelby, Clemont decides to just move on with hi life, and find them an exit instead. using a giant book of subway maps, he determines they should head west. On the way they head to a station that's ready to be demolished, we also learn that Bonnie's strong enough to lift Clemont as she pulls him onto the side area. Before they can leave they spot Bunnelby again, running into the abandoned car that the subway company decided they don't want anymore, because they love wasting money, as Bunnelby presents it's hunt to a few other Pokémon who just happen to also be in the cart, such as a Skitty, Delcatty, Patrat, Zigzagoon and a bag of trash... wait, that's a Trubbish!
Bunnelby splits the apple up and divides it among the others, Clemont explains to Bonnie that they Pokémon likely live here to protect themselves from the elements up above, and while this explanation goes on, a particularly stealthy Diggersby has materialized in the Subway Car. It's stolen the rest of the apples that I guess the Pokémon didn't eat, and shoves it down it's fat ass... well, it's throat, but... you get what I mean.
Bunnelby takes offense to Diggersby eating all the Pokémon's hard earned (stolen) food and challenges Diggersby to a fight, kind of after the fact since Diggersby already ate.
Bunnelby get's it's ass kicked, and Bonnie insists that Clemont has to help, but unfortunately his Pokémon are at the gym, where they will remain for the rest of the series, and rot and die under the oppressing claw of Clembot.
Clemont does the only thing he can do, and saves Bunnelby from being slaughtered by Diggersby, and sets off to escape with him and the rest of the Pokémon. After finding a safe space, Bonnie commands Clemont to give Bunnelby First Aid, even though Clemont only knows Electric-type Pokémon.
Bonnie pumps his head up and tell him that he can "do anything", and this gets him up enough to use a very generic Potion that he for some reason thought he couldn't use on a non-Electric-type?
Bunnelby's Pokémon friends are at first apprehensive towards these giant skin monsters babbling strange noises at them, but they convince them to let Clemont spray his magic liquid at Bunnelby.
Bunnelby gets up and shadowboxes to prove he's ready for Round Two, but Clemont talks him down, and tells him that Diggersby would just kick his ass again, if he challenged him now.
Bonnie impresses the Sewer Pokémon by telling them that Clemont is the Lumiose City Gym Leader. Clemont gives Bunnelby a strategy, but since he's never had a formal education, because he lives, well, in the Sewer, he doesn't get it, so Bonnie figures they'll act it out instead, with her playing Diggersby, and Clemont playing Bunnelby.
Bonnie goes all in, by running face first into a wall, as Clemont uses cardboard cut outs of him as Bunnelby that he had made for just such an occasion to simulate Double Team, Clemont then comes to the conclusion that Bunnelby should use it's ears for defense, while apparently forgetting that Diggersby has MUCH BIGGER ears.
Clemont then did some off screen Special Training before going back to challenge Diggersby, who hasn't left in all that time, considering the nerds it was picking on were long gone.
Diggersby starts with Hammer Arm, like they suspected, allowing Bunnelby to "dig" to dodge it, forcing Diggersby to drunkenly stumble into a poll supporting the station. Diggersby then retaliates with Mud Shot, that Bunnelby again dodges with Dig, before Diggersby retaliates with Mud Shot, down the hole Bunnelby dug, before Bunnelby dodges by coming out the other side.
Diggersby then comes back with a Super Fang, but Bunnelby counters with Double Team, it almost doesn't work, so Bunnelby dodges and throws a slab of cement in it's face, with wasn't quite a part of Clemont and Bonnie's strategy session, but it works.
Diggersby then pulls some Samurai Champloo shit and tries to break dance Bunnelby to death, but he catches it's foot with his ears. Bunnelby then finishes it, by throwing it into the air, and smacking it into the wall. With Diggersby defeated, Bunnelby wants to make up, but Diggersby tells it to shove it's olive branch up it's ass and runs off.
Bonnie then figures that Clemont and Bunnelby make a good team, but before anyone can suggest the obvious, apparently the demolition has started. They try to tell the Pokémon to run, but they don't want to leave their home despite it crumbling to the ground around them.
Clemont then has a brilliant idea, move the subway car to a safe location. Because subway companies are always leaving perfectly working rail cars in demolition sites, and fortunately the future is now thanks to science, as Clemont introduces the newest piece of Clemontic Gear, the "Running Generator", it's a treadmill that generates electricity, meanwhile Bonnie does her best Wobbuffet impression. but before Clemont can finish his explanation, a giant rock falls in front of the car.
Welp, mission failed, looks like they're not getting the rail car out of here now, and uh-oh, it's Diggersby, and he's picking up the rock, HE'S HERE TO FINISH THE JOB.
Wait, no, he's suddenly decided to turn his life around, and escape the death tunnel with Bunnelby and his friends. In Clemont's helpful book of dead subway rail stations, he learns that they're headed to a fork in the track, with a switch that he must, well, switch. Fortunately, Bunnelby hits the switcher with Mud Shot and gets them going the correct way.
They continue down the rails, until landing at a rail station that there are no plans to fix or demolish, the rail company just shrugged and said, "eh, who needs it" and left it there.
Clemont and Bunnelby kind of just stare at each other before Bonnie insists they leave. As they leave, Bunnelby gets sad until the Pokémon convince Bunnelby go with Clemont, they'll be totally fine living with Diggersby, who until hours ago was stealing all their food.
Bunnelby catches up to Clemont, and convinces him to let him come with them, and thus is the story of how Clemont caught Bunnelby.
Now that the story's over, they come to the end of the tunnel, and... it's a dead end. So, Clemont decides to have Bunnelby use Dig, and Bonnie reveals that Clemont omitted some details of his story.
You see, right when he captured him, he immediately lets him back out and cries all over Bunnelby's fur because he's so happy, and Clemont doth protest too much about not crying, thus proving he was crying, and as such our journey is...
