53. The Tigress' Identity Revealed
Vermilion City: Cerise Laboratory
Gwen, followed by the heroes, goes to the Proto TRUK 2.O.
"Gwen, tell me what is in your mind?" Ben asked.
"I knew that suit before!" Gwen said.
"You know The Tigress?" Julie asked.
"Yes!" Gwen said.
The heroes finally reached the Cerise Laboratory.
Then, Bonnie came here.
"Hi." Bonnie greeted.
"Sorry, Bonnie! We don't have time!" Clemont said.
In the Proto TRUK 2.O, Gwen opened the box and it is empty.
"No! No..." Gwen said and she fell to her kness.
"What's wrong?" Ash asked.
"The Tigris Brace... is stolen." Gwen said and she turns to heroes in anger before changing to Anodite form. "WHERE IS THE TIGRIS BRACE?!"
"I don't know!" Kevin said.
"We don't know about that!" Ben said.
"What is the Tigris Brace?" Serena asked. "I don't know what kind of thing is."
Gwen calmed down and changed back to her original form.
"So you guys didn't steal right..." Gwen said with sadness.
"What is the Tigris Brace? Explain." Ben said.
Gwen wept the tears of sadness.
"Okay. The Tigris Brace is a brace created by me and my grandma Verdona." Gwen said.
"You and grandma invented that brace?!" Ben asked.
"Yes. The Tigris Brace can allow user to transform into a warrior that can possess the power of a tiger with a suit based on tigers." Gwen said.
"Did you try that before?" Rook asked.
"Yes but, a failure as I can't hold much power in it." Gwen said. "If I'm in need, I brought the Tigris Brace secretly."
"Why didn't tell you us before?!" Kevin asked.
"I fear that you would misuse that brace." Gwen said.
"Why would you think bad about us? We aren't power hungry. We have hunger for knowledge." Ben said. "You should have some trust among us, Gwen."
"We'll get your invention back as soon as we can." Ash said.
"Thank you, everyone." Gwen said as she wept the tears.
"I have one doubt. If the Tigris Brace is stolen, then why would somebody use it for good like The Tigress?" Clemont asked.
"Yes, people would've misused the power." Dawn said.
Bonnie heard everything what Gwen is saying and she felt guilty.
"It was Gwen's invention...? I should've known..." Bonnie said and she left Cerise Laboratory in guilt.
Unbeknownst to the heroes, Robo Mosquito recorded everything and flew to Abandoned Mansion, base of the villains.
Vermilion City: Abandoned Mansion
In the abandoned mansion, the villains came to know about the Gwen's invention.
"So Gwen made an invention and stolen by someone, right?" Dr. Animo asked and Robo Mosquito nodded.
"Once we have that invention, nobody can stop us!" Charmcaster said.
"Yes but we need an incredible idea." Billy said.
"I have an idea! We'll kidnap the school children and their Pokemon for hostage. The heroes will find that Tiger Brace and give it to us." Captain Nemesis said.
"Nice idea, cap!" Kangaroo Kommando said.
Vermilion City: Cerise Park
In the Cerise Park, Bonnie was unhappy and felt guilty.
"What am I done..." Bonnie lamented.
"Are you guilty because you've stole Gwen's creation like me?" Tigra asked.
"Yes, I should have asked permission." Bonnie said.
"Tell me why did you that?" Tigra asked.
"I wanted to fight alongside Ash and rescue Pokemon." Bonnie said. "Also I wanna kick the villains' butts."
"I see. I wanted to be used by someone like you." Tigra said. "When Gwen tried to use me, she couldn't resist my power."
"Why?" Bonnie asked.
"Because she lacks some trust. She thinks that if someone uses me in wrong hands, she sealed me and brought for no reason." Tigra said. "Your heart has trust, so you were able to resist my power."
"Shall I tell the truth to my friends?" Bonnie asked.
"But-" Tigra faltered.
"I don't care! My day of being The Tigress is over!" Bonnie shouted at Tigra. Tigra felt bad about that.
Then, an alert rang.
"A villain alert!" Ben said.
"Professor Cerise, what's going on?" Ash asked.
"Everyone! The villains made children and their Pokemon hostage in school!" Professor Cerise said.
"Also gave us the warning!" Ren said.
The call from Dr. Animo came.
"Heroes! If you want to save the children, give us the... Tigris Brace!" Dr. Animo said.
"If not, children will be kaboom!" Kangaroo Kommando said as he showed the children and Pokemon were in cage contained with bombs.
The heroes were shocked to see this.
"Leave the children right now!" Chloe said.
"Then give us Tigris Brace! And come to school." Mazuma said and the call ended.
"It was all my fault! My stolen invention forcing us to pay the price." Gwen said.
"It wasn't your fault, Gwen." Ben said, comforting Gwen.
"Let's go!" Ash said and the heroes went to school.
"I'm coming!" Bonnie said and she goes with heroes before keeping the Tigris Brace into her pocket.
Vermilion City: School
In the school, the heroes arrived and saw the children and their Pokemon trapped in cage contained with bombs.
"There you are! I've been waiting for you." Dr. Animo said.
"Give us the Tigris Brace." Captain Nemesis said.
"The brace you've wanted for is gone." Ben said.
"What a shame. If you say so... Mutated Chimera!" Dr. Animo said and the mutated creature is a mix of lion, komodo dragon and cobra came in.
"If you face my beloved pet, I will blast them off." Dr. Animo said, intimidating at heroes and having a detonator in his hand.
"What shall we do now?!" Ash asked. "Ben, any ideas?"
"We don't have choice." Ben said and transforms into Four Arms, running to face Mutated Chimera.
"Ben, don't!" Kevin shouted.
Mutated Chimera successfully defeats Four Arms with one strike of its claws.
"Hahaha! Go my pet. Have fun with those brats." Dr. Amino said.
Mutated Chimera attacks hero by hero, defeating them.
Bonnie was unable to tolerate to see heroes getting wounded and the children in hostage.
"I can't be silent anymore! If I've caused this, then I have to fix the problem by myself!" Bonnie thought.
"Now, Chimera. Finish them." Dr. Amino said and Chimera is about finish the heroes when Bonnie stood in their way and roars at Chimera like a tiger, shattering it into pieces.
"Bonnie?!" Clemont asked.
"Please, run away! It's dangerous!" Ash said.
"I made a problem on you!" Bonnie said.
"What are you talking about?!" Serena asked.
"I'll fix it... by myself." Bonnie said and goes to confront the villains.
"Haha haha! You stop us?" Dr. Animo asked.
"So stupid. A little girl like you makes the difference?" Billy asked.
Bonnie revealed the Tigris Brace on her left wrist, leaving the heroes and villains in shock.
"Bonnie stole the Tigris Brace..." Serena said.
"Why?!" Gwen asked.
"Because I wish to fight with you and rescue Pokemon instead of just being idle!" Bonnie said and turns to the villains in anger.
"You wanted this, right?! Tiger Roar!" Bonnie pressed the button on the Tigris Brace and morphs into The Tigress.
The heroes were in awe to see Bonnie morphed into The Tigress.
The Tigress rushes to the villains and scratches them 6 times with her Tiger Gauntlet Claws.
"Echoing Roar!" The Tigress roars loudly like a tiger that sent the villains flying.
The Tigress slashes the lock with her Tiger Gauntlet Claws to free the students and Pokemon.
"Thanks, hero. What's your name?" A student asked.
"I'm The Tigress." The Tigress said.
The students and Pokemon left the school after saying thanks to The Tigress.
The Tigeress morphs back to Bonnie and goes to heroes.
"Sorry, Gwen for stealing your Tigris Brace." Bonnie apologizes Gwen. "I have caused the trouble. Here take it."
Bonnie took off Tigris Brace and gives to Gwen.
"You can keep it." Gwen said.
"Really?! No joke!" Bonnie asked. "Yay!"
Bonnie wears the Tigris Brace again.
"Tigra, you are with me!" Bonnie said.
"Ha! I'm happy to be with you, Bonnie." Tigra said.
"See, looks like Bonnie's wish of fighting with us is now fulfilled." Ben said.
"Looks like her codename will be orange." Ash said and the heroes laughed.
