Once ash kept on running away from the trainers, his plan on finding Alain failed. Ash heard the trainers sending out Pokemon, he did not know what to do. When he was surrounded, the Pokemon were Arcanine, Tyrantrum, Krookodile, and Metagross. When ash noticed they were not trainers they were Pokemon poachers, ash decided to fight back until Alain could find him. Poacher one yelled out "Metagross use Metal Claw" ash dodged it,and sent out a Aura sphere, it was unable to battle. The second poacher yelled "Go Arcanine, use flamethrower", ash just barley was able to dodge it. Ash launched a Plasma Fists, which knocked down the Arcanine. Pocher three and Four, ordered Tyrantrum and, Krookodile to use Hyper Beam. Just before they could launch the moves, another poacher came with a truck and cage, which caught ash off guard, they got an opportunity, it hit ash, ash tried to get away, but was two weak to get up.
Once they saw ash down, they took the chance to shoot him with a net gun,after that was done, he was put in the cage. A miracle happened Alain found ash, and sent out a Charizard. Two poachers were left battleing, while the other three poachers left with ash. Alain took them down easy, but he thought he could not save ash this once. But ash had enough energy left to knock the cage out of the moving truck, which he was in the back. Ash's cage was on the floor, but ash was left unconscious. Alain picked up ash's cage, but he had no time to open it, so he rode on charizard to saftey, so he can open it there.
Once ash woke up, he saw he was on a Charizard, but he was still in his cage. He looked around and it was Alain! Once they landed Alain commanded Charizard to use Dragon claw to open the cage. Ash was free, but was scared that he put charizard and Alain in danger. Alain asked ash "are you okay, what happened, how were you seen, what did you do"? Ash explained what happened, then Alain would not need to worry.
