985: Hoshigumo panikku! Terepōto wa totsuzen ni!!
978: Now You See Them, Now You Don't!
Lillie, writing in her diary, recaps last week's episode, because I guess the narrator called off this morning or something.
At the Kukui residence, it's breakfast time as the Pokémon chow down on their bowls of Pokémon kibble. Kukui reminds the young waif he's taken in that they're working with clay today, and Ash informs him he left his at school, almost as if it was a conscience decision.
Lil' Nebby after being fed by Ash observes the other Pokémon in the house, happily munching on their food. Of course Litten and Lycanroc are in competition to see who can stuff their fat faces faster, and Rowlet puts his back towards Nebby, so he doesn't get any crazy ideas about sharing. Unfortunately for Rowlet the bowl has another side, which Nebby moves to. Rowlet quickly adjusts, and, Nebby goes to the other side. Eventually the two are just ring around the roseying the bowl and Rowlet passes out.
and after that it's off the school, and of course Ash forgets his very important sentient Pokédex.
Oh Ash, you know what happens to items you forget? When you go looking for them, it's like...
Speaking of seeing a nebulous "them," a group of Thems are selling Bewear brand Honey Malasadas, while Jesse snarkily gripes at Giovanni's aide. Apparently she found out they went to Kanto without going to headquarters, while being explicitly summoned. But, they can't go back to Kanto, because they're low on dough, so James has a plan to make more dough, with fried dough.
They'll make the big cash money wad by selling malasadas to school children, because if there's any group of human individual with plenty of disposable income, it's school children.
Most of the kids seem to ignore the malasada stand, except one exceptionally dumb, and also broke kid.
It's the twerp!
Team Rocket cover their eyes with their caps, which makes them completely unrecognizable, as Ash drools over the honey covered dough balls. Nebby also admires them, and makes some new fans in Team Rocket.
Papa Kukui and Mama Rotom-dex chew out Ash for skipping breakfast, and refuse to buy him any malasadas, as Ash whines.
But Team Rocket isn't worried, because their attention is tuned into the new Pokémon with Ash. But what kind of Pokémon is it? James puts two and two together and realizes it must be a "Proto-Koffing."
What's a proto-Koffing?
Well, James reasons that as Pikachu evolves from the failed marketing product, Pichu, Nebby must be a more palatable pre-evolution to the always lovable Koffing, so obviously the have to catch it, and give it all the love and attention it needs, and it might just evolve into a Koffing!
At the school, the twerps' class is about to begin, except Mallow has somehow forgot to bring hers, fortunately Kiawe has plenty, probably too much, to share.
Today's assignment is to sculpt their Pokémon... and Kukui gives them no real instruction on how to do so. Like, I've taken an art class in college, and the professor usually at least gives you some semblance of what to do. But no, Kukui's hardcore, just do it!
Ash wonder who he'll sculpt, why, it could be Rowlet, or maybe even Rowlet.
Nope, it's Pikachu! Who else would it be? Fuck you if you thought otherwise!
Lana meanwhile sculpts Popplio, after having it make a balloon and making it hold in place. It tries it's damndest, but the balloon pops.
Sophocles tries to cheat and "makes" Charjabug, but that shit won't fly, and he has to make something else.
Kiawe makes a performance piece, its Turtonator who begins proud, but then hangs his head as he gripped by the depressing realization that it'll never be a real Turtonator. Kiawe ignores it's existential dread, and just has Turtonator do a new pose, and crushes his clay Turtonator... and it's dreams.
Mallow, now with clay asks Steenee to strike a cute pose, which she does, and Sophocles, now with a smaller piece of clay, and a pottery wheel attempts Togedemaru, ash is so impressed by it, because we know how Ash finds science so amazing.
Lillie makes a near perfect Vulpix, and Ash makes an abysmal Pikachu, but an almost perfect Mimkyu. Is Ash's subconsciousness trying to tell us something about living in the shadow of Pikachu for all these years?
The world may never know.
Sophocles makes a circular base, but laments it looks more like a Jigglypuff, meanwhile Nebby grabs him by the leg and... teleports him to Jigglypuff's... karaoke room? Jigglypuff seems to have somehow rented a karaoke room where it sings to itself I guess. Sophocles appears, and it quickly gets excited, it finally has a guest! and as soon as he and Nebby appear they're right back to the classroom.
Mallow doesn't know which pose to use, because Steenee won't stop doing poses, because bitch she's fabulous.
Rowlet agrees, and as he makes a attempt to holla at the Diva Pokémon and gets knocked back, and this time unintentionally and gets knocked right into Ash's head, possibly giving him a concussion, that is, if there was a brain up there to concuss.
Nebby then takes it's adorable reign of terror to Mallow as she grimaces about what Oranguru would think, before being transported to his bar, and quickly back, and next it's Lana who's transplanted to the ocean.
Her one true home.
Kiawe is putting the finishing touches on his new Turtonator, and comments that it's just like Wela Volcano, and... well, I don't think I need to spell out what happened next.
He comes back with his hair on fire... as if anyone could tell the difference. Rotom reveals that Nebby was using Teleport, but Ash seems to think Kiawe himself was doing it.
Oh, Ash.
Nebby then makes it's way to the last person in the class, and of course it's Lillie... but she's so frightened that she doesn't Teleport anywhere, as Nebby falls asleep on her leg.
With Nebby soon parted from her leg, Ash whines that he didn't get to Teleport like everyone else, as they all reveal where they were Teleported to.
Lillie assumes that Nebby is able to read people's minds and Teleported everyone to where they were thinking (though, she ignores that they did speak these places out loud.)
Ash picks up Nebby and aks it where it wants to go, and it starts crying, which I assume translates to "with a better father figure." Ash then feeds it candy to pacify it, but it fails to work.
Serena REALLY dodged a bullet with this one.
Lana tries funny faces, because it works on her sisters, but that just makes Nebby feel worse.
The other twerps prove that they don't know the definition of insanity, and attempt the same thing Lana trie, and expect different results.
Kukui, being the professor in te room, wants to try his hand, but Lillie cuts him off and does... something with her face that probably counts as illicit, since we never get to see it and she blushes afterwards.
Oh Lillie, you dirty girl you!
However, Nebby loves it, and it stops crying, and as Ash picks it up, it Teleports him to Jigglypuff's house. Jigglypuff is so excited to see a familiar face that it begins singing (of course), but unlike Sophocles Ash is stuck listening to it's song.
With no leads everyone's scared what this means for Ash, since this is Ash's mind we're talking about, , then Ash they have been transported to the abyss, an area in which nothing exists, and yet at the same time, everything does, incomprehensible to the regular human mind, but makes perfect sense to one.
Well, the twerps can't just do nothing, if Ash dies in this landscape, then the show is cancelled and the checks stop, so they decide to look... everywhere.
Back at Jigglypuff's Bachelor Pad, it notices that Ash and Pikachu and Nebby have fallen asleep, so it draws on their faces. It's a good thing that in all those years it never learned to draw penises.
Nebby then teleports Ash to the ocean, and then Oranguru's bar, then back to the house, where Litten and Lycanroc are clearly in a heated conversation, and then, speaking of heated, near the very heart of the volcano itself, the mouth... the very mouth of the volcano itself.
Then a sequence of multiple locations, including Team Rocket's ice cream truck.
Speaking of Team Rocket, Jesse is screaming at the ocean, or rather, at Giovanni's aide, in a matter of speaking. They then refocus on catching "Proto-Koffing," while mumbling something about the twerps appearing on a desolate beach.
And then he twerp (singular) appears on a desolate beach.
"A little knowledge, is a dangerous thing!"
"And grasping the obvious has that familiar twerp ring!"
"The beauty so radiant the flowers and moon hide in shame, a single flower of evil in this fleeting world, Jesse!"
"The nobly heroic man of our times, the master of darkness fighting back against a tragic world, it's James!"
"It's all for one and one for all, a glittering dark star that always shines bright, dig it, while Meowth takes flight!"
"TEAM ROCKET, LET'S FIGHT!"
"That's right!"
"Wobbbuuuffffeeet!"
ASH DEMANDS ANSWERS! Why is Team Rocket sitting on a beach, not doing anything in particular. James then announces that they intend to take "Proto-Koffing" off their hands, and Jesse sends in Mimikyu, and while Pika and Mimi stare each other down James comes up with a plan.
James, Meowth and Wobuffet wander off LOUDLY yelling about fighting fair and square, and watching out for "doity tricks."
Ash begins the fight with Electro Ball, and Mimkyu sends it flying back. Ash tells Pikachu to wait for an opening as Jesse begins walking as in a circle, until the falling sunlight hits Ash and Pikachu just right, allowing Team Rocket to snatch Nebby.
ASH IS PISSED. He expected a fair and square fight from Team Rocket, who he's just meeting for the first time today.
Team Rocket and Nebby celebrate, until they remember that this is usually the moment when Bewear ruins their plans, and since they're thinking of Bewear, Nebby does the work for it, and Teleports them to it.
Bewear isn't particularly interested in Nebby, it's too young. It may be a sex pervert, but it's no pedophile, and thus Nebby for the first time experiences what it means to be alone.
A feeling some know more than others.
And it recalls all the places it's been and Teleports itself back to Ash, and falls asleep, it's had a long day, at which point the other twerps have finally found him. He tells them of all the places it took him, and they remember they should probably tell Kukui his lost son's been found, which causes Ash to yell and wake up Nebby, who shrieks and teleports them to the roof of the school, where they will continue to live pout their days, as there's no way to come down from there.
Or is there? Find out as the journey is...
