As they were packing up they saw a man who looked like Tommy but with both ears pierced visiting the sanctuary. He was accompanied with a Purrloin with a trench coat. The man left as the kids came down.
"I admit, though," Prof. Atkins admitted, "He does look like Tommy Oliver."
Later they were at the flea market when they ran into Tommy Oliver. They knew it was him when they saw that he had his left ear pierced. "We saw a guy who looked a lot like you only with both ears pierced," Gary explained.
"I don't know who he is either," Tommy replied.
"What are you doing here anyway?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I'm studying paleontology at Alto Mare University," Tommy explained.
Suddenly, they saw some customers complaining about the pins they bought being fake.
The thieves made off with the money and the citizens decided to alert the police.
Suddenly, Pleakley came back with a wing with a white and blue feather. Tommy recognized it as a Lugia feather. He explained that during the 19th century of Alto Mare, a storm caught a ship and destroyed it. Then the storm stopped, the sailor crew saw Lugia and a silver wing floated down to the crew. Ever since the Silver Wing would make a perfect gift.
Later in the sub. Atilla, Hun, Cassidy, Butch, Max and his friends, Jessie, James, Meowth, Sabrina, Koga, Janine, and Lt. Surge were gathering around counting the money they got from the citizens of Alto Mare. Their planning to take the money and build a poaching device.
Back in the markets, The Celestian Alliance were interviewing the scammed customers about what happened. Afterward, they thought they would find out where the con artist ran off to. Kiki, Frank, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash looked around and they saw the man from the sanctuary saying that he saw the con artists run to the harbors.
Then he left with his purloin. Purlloin saw some Lanturn by the harbor and the man decided to take photos of them.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket was watching him, thinking he was Tommy Oliver. He got out a net and captures. Once they got him inside, they found out the truth, "You're not Tommy Oliver!" "You have both of your ears pierced."
"My name is, "David Trueheart!" Explained the man.
"Send this imposter to the prisons!" Giovanni growled.
Atilla and Hun carried David to a prison where he encounters Latias. She explained she was patrolling the seas of Alto Mare when she got captured by Team Rocket, their planning to use her to spread litter. David knew that she'll be okay.
Back at Team Rocket's lab, Jessie and James look around a bit in their new uniforms. They find their way to where Dr. Namba is seeing that Butch and Cassidy are giving their report. Dr. Namba wants something so Cassidy orders Jessie and James (disguised) to go get it. Jessie starts to go into a tantrum but James politely goes out with her. Jessie is dying to get even with them.
Meanwhile, on the harbors, everyone was looking around for the con men when Lugia and Ho-Oh came in informing them that Latias has been kidnapped and they can't risk losing another child.
Gary, Twilight, Frank, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Kiki, Tommy Oliver, Lilo, Stitch Stella and her friends, Angel, and Misty decided to go find Latias and the con men while everyone else warns Prof. Atkins.
To be continued.
