Episode 40: The Punchy Pokemon
One bright and sunny day out on the road. There are large canyons far ahead and the road is between grassy areas that has rocks, trees and bushes. Running down the road is a Pokemon. It's a tan, humanoid Pokémon that is exclusively male and has no female counterpart. There are five blunt protrusions on top of its head, and it has structures resembling pads over its shoulders. It appears to be wearing a light purple tunic and kilt, as well as red boxing gloves and light purple boxing shoes. The Pokemon continues to jog on the road until it comes to a stop and practices its air punch.
Suddenly, a young girl peeks out from behind the tree to see the Pokemon. She looks very worried about something.
Suddenly, Hana's voice appears, "Wow! Look at that! "
The young girl quickly hides behind the tree. At the same time, Hana and her friends see the Pokemon practicing its fighting. Pikachu, Alistair, and Winnie watch with curiosity to see the fighting Pokemon.
"It's a Hitmonchan," Hana says.
"Wow! I never seen a Hitmonchan up close before," Diana says, bringing out her Pokedex.
"Sure looks like a real fight," Akira says.
Dexter says, "Hitmonchan, a skilled fighting Pokemon that packs an incredibly fast punch."
"That one looks tough. I wonder if it's a wild Pokemon," Chase says.
"Let's ask," Hana says, and walks to Hitonchan.
Hitmonchan stops his practice to see Hana walking to it.
Hana asks, "Hi Hitmonchan, I see you're practicing. Is something special going on?"
"Hit Hitmonchan. Hit Hitmon Hitmon Hitmonchan Hitmonchan. Hitmon Hitmonchan," (There is. I'm training with my trainer for a Fighting competition called the P1 Grand Prix. And we plan to win it.) Hitmonchan answers.
Akira asks, "So what does it say?"
"Hitmonchan and his trainer are training for a fighting competition," Hana says.
"So it's not wild," Diana says.
"And it's training for a competition," Chase says.
"Yep," Hana says.
Then Akira suggests, "Maybe you can battle it."
"Sounds good to me. You're up for a battle," Hana replies.
Hitmonchan nods its head in reply.
Hana brings out her Pokeball and says, "Alright, then I'll choose…"
But before Hana can call out her Pokeball, Meloetta comes out of her Pokeball on her own.
"Meloetta?" Hana says, confused.
Suddenly, Meloetta begins to sing.
Hana becomes more confused, "Meloetta?"
Suddenly, Meloetta begins to glow bright, and then.. Meloetta begins to transform. As Melowtta sings, her treble clef hairpiece slides down her hair as the blue circle notes blinks as it slides down. Just then, Meloetta's hair is now auburn color, and turns to a high bun. Her eyes turn red and her band is now an auburn color. She twirls around and her dress is now a four petal like tutu. Meloetta taps her feet on the ground and dances around until she makes a pose. The light disappears to see Meloetta is in a different form. Seeing in this form leaves everyone astonished.
"Meloetta?" Diana says, surprised.
"Meloetta changed it's form?" Chase replies.
Hana smiles and says, "Alright Meloetta, let's go for it."
Meloetta flies to Hitmonchan and begins to fight it. Hitmonchan throws punches and Meloetta takes a few hits. Then Meloetta begins to use her feets to perform kicks as well. Soon, the two are actually putting up good fighting skills.
"You're doing good Meloetta," Hana says.
"Wow! I never knew Meloetta could do that," Diana says.
"I never knew she has a fighting spirit," Chase says.
Hitmonchan and Meloetta continue to fight against each other. Meloetta is able to give it a kick to the face. The group becomes surprised to see this.
Suddenly, they hear someone says, "How many times do I have to tell ya? Don't drop your guard!"
"Chan," (Right.) Hitmonchan says.
Hana and the others soon see a man wearing a white shirt, black pants and has a red town on his shoulders. He has tank skih, dark brown hair, and brown eyes.
The man says, "Keep your gloves up, Hitmonchan, cause fighting smart hurts less than fighting stupid."
"Chan," (Right.) Hitmonchan answers.
Then says, "Now, go knock that pipsqueak out!"
"Hitmon," (Sure thing.) Hitmonchan says.
The group soon grows worried, especially Meloetta. Hitmonchan then charges at Meloetta and begins to throw punches at Meloetta. Meloetta tries her best to keep up, but because she's not fully experienced… Meloetta is easily defeated. Hitmonchan gives Meloetta the final blow and she falls to the ground. Meloetta changes back to her original form and is soon knocked out.
"Meloetta!" Hana worriedly says.
"Pika Pi!" (Meloetta!) Pikachu worriedly says.
Hana and Pikachu run to Meloetta and pick her up in her arms.
"Meloetta, are you alright?" Hana asks.
The man walks to his Pokemon and says, "I declare Hitmonchan the winner! Congratulations! One, two, three.. HOORAY!"
Both the man and Hitmonchan raise their fist up in victory.
"I wonder who this guy is," Hana replies.
"Same here," Akira says.
"He's a pretty serious trainer," Diana says.
"That Hitmonchan is well trained," Akira says.
Suddenly, they hear someone calling out, "Daddy!"
The group turns their heads to see a young girl hurrying to the man. She's wearing a white shirt, a blue skirt, and red shoes.
"Daddy, please come home!" The young girl says.
Confused, the man says, "Rebecca?"
The girl, Rebecca, begs the man that is her father, "Daddy, please quit Pokemon training and come home with me!"
"I won't come home until I become champion of the P1 Grand Prix," The man denies.
"Daddy!" The girl says, sounding upset.
The man then says, "I'll be in the gym taking on challengers. The gym's that way. I'll be waiting for ya."
The man and Hitmonchan begin to jog off with their workout. The young girl, Rebecca looks devastated that she's on the verge of tears.
Rebecca sadly says, "Oh well."
Hana walks over and asks, "Are you okay?"
Then Rebecca says with a bow, "I'm really sorry my father bothered you."
It's no problem," Akira says.
Then Rebecca asks, "Can I ask a favor of you Pokemon trainers? A really, really big favor?
"That depends, what is it?" Hana asks.
Rebecca says, "Please, I want you to defeat my father's Hitmonchan."
The group becomes confused.
The girls ask, "Defeat your father? Why?"
The group soon arrives at a building that has the sign that reads 'Fighting Spirit.' Soon, the group is inside to see a lot of gym equipment.
"The Fighting Spirit gym," Diana says.
"This sure doesn't look like an ordinary Pokemon gym," Hana says.
"Looks like a boxing gym to me," Akira says.
Chase notices a poster that is full of Fighting Pokemon and asks, "What's the P1 Grand Prix?"
"P1 is short for 'Pokemon Number 1 Grand Prix'. It's a tournament for fighting Pokemon. Because my father wants to win the P1, he's training all the time and ignoring his family," Rebecca says.
"So if we defeat that Hitmonchan, your dad will come to his senses and go back home," Chase says.
"Right," Rebecca says.
"I guess we could try it, but it might be more than that to convince your dad," Hana says.
"Still, being in the P-1 might actually be interesting. Hana and I can enter it," Akira says.
"What are you talking about?" Chase says.
Diana gets the idea, "I get it. Hana has Lucario and Primeape, while Akira has Judy. I'm sure one of them can defeat Hitmonchan."
"Yeah. Primeape should be able to do the job," Hana says.
"And I've got Judy, a Cinderace. We'll both enter the tournament, and defeat that Hitmonchan!" Akira says, holding his Pokeball.
The group agrees on the plan. Unknown to them there are three Pokemon who are spying on them, and they're all the same. All three are humanoid Pokémon with a predominantly pale purple body and brown hips and feet that resemble short pants and shoes. They have three blunt protrusions on top of its head, yellow eyes, and circular sections on each side of its head that resemble protective padding. There are white bands resembling bandages on its torso and wrists. They also have thin limbs, and their hands have three fingers each.
The three Pokemon hear about the fighting tournament and turn to each other. Then all three nod their heads in agreement.
At the stadium where the P-1 is being placed, our heroes are heading there now. Unknown to them, Team Rocket is there as well. They also see the poster for the fighting tournament.
"A big Pokemon match!" James says
"And feast your eyes on that prize!" Meowth says.
"I'd love to get my hands on that championship belt," Jessie says.
Then James says, "And if we sold the belt, we could stuff ourselves at the all-you-can-eat buffet!
Soon, Meowth begins to daydream about food, "Unlimited food! Honey-glazed ham, roast leg of lamb, strawberry jam."
"Sirloin steaks, chocolate cakes," James says, having the same daydream.
Jessie becomes annoyed with them and angrily demands, "Can't you numskulls think of anything but food?!"
She then smacks the two with fans.
"What would you do with the money, Jessie?" Meowth asks, still has the bruise on his face.
"Who? Me?" Jessie asks.
"Yes, Jessie. What would you do if you had some extra cash?" James says.
Jessie answers with sparkles in her eyes, "First, I'd go to the salon and get a complete facial. Then, I'd get my hair and makeup done. Then I'd go on a major shopping spree for dresses and half-backs and shoes. Then I'd do a bit of jewelry shopping. And after all that, I'd invite some close friends over for a nice quiet dinner at home."
Jessie soon begins to fantaize all of it in her mind.
However, James breaks her dream by saying, "I hate to interrupt your internal dream sequence, but shouldn't we figure out how to get into this competition? Only fighting Pokemon are allowed."
"Of which, we currently have none," Meowth adds.
"Well, then, we'll just have to borrow one, won't we? All we have to do is find one," Jessie says.
Soon, they hear footsteps and turn their heads to see a man wearing a large gray coat and hat walking past them with a Pokemon. The Pokemon is a humanoid Pokémon with an ovoid body. Lacking a distinct neck and head, its upper torso has almond-shaped eyes with black space around them and appears to lack a nose and mouth, it's brown, it has cream-colored, segmented arms and legs. Each hand has three fingers and each foot has three clawed toes. The soles of its feet and its ankles have circular, yellow pads.
"Like that one, there," Jessie says.
"What is it?" Meowth asks.
Seeing the Pokemon, James says, "Hitmonlee, The Kicking Fiend!"
Team Rocket evilly smirks and sees the fighting Pokemon they plan to use.
Later on, fireworks appear over the sky, and inside the stadium are full of people who are going to watch the tournament.
An Announcer says. Ladies and gentlemen, our fighting Pokemon festival, the P1 Grand Prix is about to begin!
In the restroom, Team Rocket has captured the trainer with the Hitmonlee from earlier. They bound and gagged him up in one of the restroom stalls. Soon, Jessie walks out wearing the man's hat and coat.
Jessie holds a smirk on her face and holds the Pokeball in her hand, "Now we've got our fighting Pokemon.
Then turns to the tied up trainer, "Thank you. Please remain seated."
Team Rocket leaves and closes the door on the tied up trainer so he'll be trapped.
Atr the ring, the tournament is going to start.
The announcer says, "The contestants in the P1 Grand Prix are about to enter the ring."
The door in the ring opens and the contestant is Rebecca's father and his Hitmonchan.
The announcer says, "Introducing the number one contender, The Fighting Machine, Hitmonchan, and its trainer, Anthony!"
"Now, the challenger, The Kicking Fiend, Hitmonlee, along with its trainer, Giant!" The announcer says.
Now at the ring are Team Rocket with the Hitmonlee they stole. Suddenly, Jessie begins to lose her balance.
Jessie angrily scolds, "Stand up straight! You're making me dizzy!"
In the coat, James says, "I'm tired. Let's trade places."
Jessie then squeezes him with her legs, "Quit complaining!"
And now, Hana and Akira are at the ring and they have Primeape and Judy.
Then the Announcer, "Now, ladies and gentlemen, two new Pokemon trainers competing here in their P1 debut! Please welcome Hana with her Primeape and Akira with a rare Pokemon from the Galar Region, Cinderace."
At the stand, Rebecca, Diana, and Chase watch the match. Chase is holding Alistair and Winnie while Diana holds Pikachu.
Seeing them, Jessie panics, "Oh no! Not you again!"
Hana hears Jessie and turns her head, but Jessie quickly turns her head away so she can't recognize her.
"Hey, Hana. What's the matter?" Akira asks.
"Uh, nothing, I guess," Hana says.
Unknown to them, Meowth sees Akira and Hana.
Meowth smirks and says, "We'll use this to take that Police Cop's devices. And Ekans will do the job."
"And now, for our first match! Machop is ready to battle. And it looks like Primeape is as well," the announcer says.
Hana calls out, "Ready Primeape?"
"Prime," (Ready.) Primeape says.
Then Machop calls out, "Machop!" (Hey, you!)
Primeape turns to Machop and both Pokemon are staring at them.
Suddenly, Machop begins to throw Karate Chops and that causes Primeape to be pushed to the pole.
"Get up, Primeape! You can do it," Hana calls out.
Primeape soon gets up.
The announcer says, "And it looks like Machop has the advantage in the battle with Primeape! Machop may be small, but it sure packs plenty of power!"
Primeape then jumps in the air and begins to perform a High jump kick, but Machop grabs his foot, causing the group to gasp in shock.
"This looks bad!" Chase says.
Soon, Machop begins to spin Primeape.
"Machop's mega muscle power stops Primeape's kick cold! It looks like Machop is getting ready for its special attack!" The announcer says.
"That looks like the Seismic Toss!" Akira says.
Hana panics, "Oh no! It's gonna toss Primeape!"
Machop then throws Primeape out of the ring.
Hana then dives in, "Primeape!"
Hana quickly turns her body around for herself to catch Primeape and she lands on her back.
Primeape stands and looks to see Hana has it in her arms.
Primeape replies, "Pri?" (Hana?)
Hana smiles and asks, "Primeape, are you okay?"
Primeape begins to get teary that Hana performs a selfless act for his sake. He remembers that she's tough, but also realizes she's very caring too.
Primeape soon becomes confident, "Primeape," (I'm good!)
"Alright! Good! Now, we're not gonna quit!" Hana says.
"Primeape! (Gotcha!) Primeape says.
Hana stands up with Primeape and says, "Watch out for that Seismic Toss and give it everything you've got!"
"Primeape!" (Sure thing!) Primeape says.
At the stand, Daina says, "Hana… at it again."
"What again?" Rebecca asks.
"Hana always does what it takes to help Pokeon, wild or not. Back then, Primeape used to do whatever it wanted, but now after seeing how tough Hana was and now seeing how caring she is. It decides to listen to her," Chase says.
"Pika! (Indeed!) Pikachu says.
At the ring, Hana calls out, "Primeape, Scratch attack!"
Primeape leaps forward and gives Machop the scratch attack.
Then Hana calls out, "Jump, Primeape!"
Primeape jumps up blinding Primeape.
"Machop?" (What's this?) Machop asks, being blinded.
Hana calls out to Primeape, "Mega Kick, right now!"
Primeape then strikes at Machop with the Mega Kick, enough to knock it out.
Hana cheers, "We did it!"
The announcer then says, "And this match is over! Machop is down and out! Hana's Primeape wins the battle!"
Seeing how strong they are, Rebecca's father, Anthony says, "That Primeape! It's really tough! And so is its trainer!"
"Monchan. (Sure is.) Hitmonchan says.
Anthony becomes confused to notice the three small Pokemon who have spied on Hana and her friends from earlier. They seem to become interested in Hana and Primeape.
Anthoney smiles and says, "Seems those three might decide to sneak in again."
"Looks like Hana and Akira do have a good chance of winning," Diana says.
"Pika Pika. (Most definitely.) Alistair says.
And Winnie barks with a smile.
Soon, it's Akira's match and he is vs. a Machoke.
Akira calls out, "Alright Judy, give it your High Jump Kick!"
Judy then gives the Machoke the High Jump Kick. Machoke begins to throw his punches at Judy.
Akira then calls out, "Judy, give them your double kick!"
Judy then begins to perform her Double kicks and Machoke isn't able to fight back. While Akira is at his battle, Meowth and Ekans are snaking at the stands to see where Diana and the others are at. They soon see Akira's backpack under the seats where Diana, Chase, and Rebecca are.
"Meowth whispers to Ekans, "Alright. Look inside that bag and find something good."
Ekans nods its head and slithers to Akira's backpack without a word. Ekans then sneaks inside Akira's backpack and digs inside to find something. Meowth waits a little and soon Ekans returns holding Akira's tablet and his phone.
Meowth smiles and says, "Purr-fect."
Soon Judy gives Machoke the final kick.
"Incredible, Cinderace defeats Machoke and is moving on to the next round," The announcer says.
Soon, the tournament continues to move forward. Hana's Primeape, Akira's Cinderace, Judy, Anthony with Hitmonchan, and Hitmonlee continue to move on. Of course, at the end, Hana and Akira reach the semifinals and are against each other. Primeape and Judy fight against each other to their very best. At the end, Primeape is victorious.
The announcer says, "Now, Hana and Primeape will advance to the final match, while the Fighting Spirit Gym's very own Hitmonchan, the number one contender in this tournament, takes on the legendary 'Kicking Fiend', Hitmonlee for a chance at the championship!"
Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee stare at each other as they stand in the ring.
"This is a tough opponent. If we play fair, we may lose," Jessie says.
"Not with the plan I cooked up with Meowth," James says.
Then James whines, "And speaking of cooking, I'm broiling in here!"
"Get back in!" Jessie sternly says.
Anthony calls out, "Keep on moving, keep on fighting! Remember, you're a champion!"
"Monchan," (Sure, coach.) Hitmonchan says.
The bell rings and the fight begins. Both of the Pokemon speed at each other and collide their attacks at each other. The two Pokemon then glare at each other.
Anthony calls out, "Gotta be smart! Gotta be strong! Gotta keep moving!"
Hitmonlee then begins to throw kicks at Hitmonchan, but Hitmonchan dodges the attacks.
Irritated, Jessie says, "Hitmonlee's not landing any kicks!"
Suddenly, Meowth says, holding some kind of container, "We gotta slow Hitmonchan down!"
"And a little gloppy glue should do it!" Meowth adds and laughs while he is under the ring.
Meowth then uses the tube to stick out into the ring and spray some glue on the ground. Hitmonchan ends up stepping on the glue. Hitmonchan tries to pull his foot out, but the glue sticks it's foot to the ground.
"Hitmonchan's in trouble! Hitmonlee's Mega Kick attack is getting the best of Hitmonchan!" The announcer says.
Anthony cries out, "Hitmonchan!"
Akira turns to Anthony, "This is dangerous! You should forfeit the match right now!"
Suddenly, Jessie calls out, "Finish it, Hitmonlee!"
Hitmonlee then begins to perform the final blow. Suddenly, Rebecca quickly dives into the ring.
She quickly stands in front of Hitmonchan and cries out, "Stop it! Don't hurt my father's Pokemon!"
Anthony cries out, "Rebecca!"
Anthony quickly jumps into the ring and takes Hitmonlee's kick in his arm. The group gasps in shock to see Anthony getting it and is pushed into the pole.
Hana quickly asks, "Are you all right?!"
"I'm fine, don't worry about me," Anthony says.
Rebecca walks over with teary eyes, "Daddy."
"Are you hurt, Rebecca?" Anthony asks, standing up.
"No, I'm fine," Rebecca says.
"I'm glad," Anthony says.
Anthony then throws the red towel in the middle of the ring and calls out, "I give up!"
The bell rings to signal the match to be stopped.
The announcer says, "Anthony throws in the towel! Hitmonlee is the winner!"
Anthony helps Hitmonchan off the ring and says, "Ah, good work, Hitmonchan. Are you okay?
"Monchan," (I'm good.) Hitmonchan answers.
Anthony turns to Rebecca, "I'm sorry I worried you and your mother so much."
"Oh, Daddy," Rebecca says, hugging her father.
"That's my girl," Anthony says.
Hana and her friends smile to see Anthony and Rebecca are back together.
"Isn't that great?" Chase says.
"The family's back together," Akira says.
"That means we're up against Hitmonlee," Hana says.
"That's right," Akira says.
"Your battling brought them back together. And now, all Hana needs to do is win one more time to be champion," Diana says.
"Pikachu," (Just one more.) Pikachu says.
"Pika Pi," (You can do it.) Alistair says.
Winnie barks with glee.
Suddenly, Jessie says, "Don't bet on it!"
The group turns their heads to see Team Rocket disguised as the Giant.
"I can't wait for the chance to show you four goody-goodies what losers you are! You don't stand a chance against us. We're going to win that championship belt!" Jessie says.
"And when we do, you can find us at the all-you-can-eat buffet table!" James says, sticking their heads out of the coat.
Jessie smacks James on the head, "Will you be quiet!"
"It's them again!" Hana angrily says.
"Team Rocket!" Diana says
"How did you ever guess?" Jessie says, and removes the disguise.
Jessie:
To protect the world from devastation!
James:
To unite all peoples within our nation!
Jessie:
To denounce the evils of truth and love!
James:
To extend our reach to the st.. I can't take it!
Jessie:
Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!
Soon, James slowly collapses until he's on his knees, "Surrender now.. Surrender now, or prepare to.. Prepare to f.."
Then begins to weep in pain.
Embarrassed, James says, "Uh, we're not finished."
Soon, they both stand on their feet.
"As I was saying, we're going to be the winners around here!" Jessie says.
"And you can bet your buffet on that!" James says.
Hana then becomes suspicious about Team Rocket being here. Hana and the others know that Team Rocket being here, usually means trouble.
Hana whispers to Diana, "Diana, I need you, Chase, and Lucario to find anything suspicious. I have a feeling that Hitmonlee doesn't really belong to them."
"I wouldn't put it past them if they stole it," Diana says.
Soon, the finals begin and the announcer says, "And now, for the final confrontation!"
Primeape begins to charge, as the announcer says, "Primeape, a newcomer who battled to this last round with tremendous attacks…"
Then Hitmonlee begins to kick as the announcer adds, "Faces the ferocious footwork of Hitmonlee, the Kicking Fiend! Get ready, fans, for a match you'll never forget!"
Primeape blocks Hitmonlee's kicks.
"You can't just defend yourself, Primeape! Attack!" Hana calls out.
"If you can't get inside Hitmonlee's kicks, you'll never win the battle!" Anthony says.
Then Hana calls out, "Primeape, get in there and show Hitmonlee that you're not afraid!"
Primeape dodges Hitmonlee's kick.
Then Hana calls out, "Now Primeape!"
Primeape then gives Hitmonlee his furry attack, and Hitmonlee isn't able to do anything.
Jessie angrily calls out, "What are you doing?!"
"Kick it! Kick it!" James calls out.
Meanwhile, Chase, Lucario, and Diana look around for anything suspicious. Soon, Lucario picked up something.
Lucario points to the locker room and says, "There's someone inside the locker room."
Chase turns to Diana, "You better stay here."
Diana nods her head as Chase and Lucario run inside the boys locker room.
Lucario points to one of the restroom stalls, "It's coming from there."
Chase opens the restroom and becomes shocked to see the man tied up and gagged.
"Oh no… Team Rocket," Chase says, realizing who could have done this.
Chase quickly runs to the man and unties the cloth from his mouth.
The man says, "Thank you. Two people and a talking Meowth ambushed me and stole my hat, my coat, and my Pokemon!"
"So then you're the Real Giant and it's your Pokeon they're using in the tournament. And Hana is battling it in the final round right now," Chase says as Lucario unties The Real Giant's ropes.
The Giant says, "Don't worry about it, I'll explain what happened to Hitmonlee."
Back at the Ring, Meowth pops out from under the ring and heads back to his comrades, but not without Pikachu, Alistair and Winnie spotting and suspecting something.
"Pikachu," (You're up to something.) Pikachu says.
Meowth reaches to his teammates and says, "The secret weapon is ready!"
James turns to Meowth.
"All you gotta do now is use this remote control! Have Htimonlee jump up, then flip the switch. A hundred-thousand volts will run through the ring, followed by an explosion! Primeape will get a charge out of that!" Meowth says, holding the remote.
Meanwhile, Pikachu, Alistair and Winnie try to get Hana and Akira's attention,
"Pika! Pika Pi!" (Hana! Meowth's up to something!) Pikachu says.
Hana turns to Pikachu, "What is it, Pikachu?"
"Pikachu! Pikachu! Pika Pi!" (It's Meowth! He was under the ring! He's done something!) Pikachu says.
"Meowth was under the ring. What was he doing down there?" Hana asks.
"He was?" Akira asks.
"Pikachu Pika Pika Pikachu Pika Pikachu," (They got a weird device that will electrocute Primeape so they'll win.) Alistair says.
"What?! A device under the ring?!" Hana says, shocked.
"We gotta stop them," Akira says.
Then turns to the others, "Show me where the device is."
Pikachu, Alistair and Winnie hurry under the ring and Akira follows after them.
Hana calls out to Primeape, "Hang in there, Primeape. "
They soon find the device Team Rocket is using for their match Akira and the Pokemon know that they need to get rid of it. Back on top of the ring, Hitmonlee lands on the ring pole.
"Hit it!" Jessie commands.
"You got it!" James says, pressing the button.
However, nothing happens.
"Nothing's happening." Jessie says.
Meowth says, "Something's wrong?"
Hitmonlee then jumps off the pole as Primeape jumps up. The two Pokemon are about to collide when Primeape strikes it's hit at Hitmonlee and grabs Hitmonlee much to Team Rocket's dismay.
Hana calls out, "Alright! Use the Seismic Toss, now, Primeape!"
"Oh no!" Team Rocket panics.
"This is bad!" Meowth says.
Hana calls out, "Alright Primeape, GO!"
Primeape then gives Hitmonlee the Seismic Toss and throws him down on the ground. Soon, Hitmonlee falls to the ground and has fainted.
"And it's all over! Primeape defeats Hitmonlee with a Seismic Toss! Hana's Primeape wins by a knockout! Primeape is the new P1 Pokemon Grand Prix Champion!" The announcer says.
Hana is now in the ring with Primeape as he wears the Championship Belt.
Hana says, "It's prime time for Primeape!"
"Primeape! Primeape!" (We did it! We did it!) Primeape says.
Hana hugs Primeape and says, "I'm proud of you, Primeape. Congratulations."
"Primeape." (Thank you.) Primeape says.
They soon turn their heads to see the three small Pokemon from before. They seem to have impressed eyes on Primeape. One of them seems to be holding a stick with some cone on it and it has glue in it.
Hana turns to Primeape, "Looks like you have admirers."
Back to Team Rocket, they are not pleased that their plan worked.
"What went wrong, Meowth?!" Jessie demands.
"What happened to our secret weapon?!" James adds.
Just then, Alistair pops out from under the ring, "Pika. (Excuse me.)"
Alistair then walks to Meowth and gives him the device, "Pikachu." (This is yours.)
Meowth takes it and says, "Here it is! It looks like it works."
"Pika!" (Enjoy!) Alistair says, and walks away.
Meowth says, "Really appreciate it."
Just then, the device activates and gives them the shock that they deserve. Soon, they are blown out of the stadium and into the sky.
Team Rocket screams, "Team Rocket's blasting off again!"
After the tournament, Chase and Diana explain to the others that they found the Real Giant locked in the locker room, and Team Rocket has used his Pokemon to win. Things to the three small Pokemon, and Akira finds leftover glue on Hitmonchan's foot, it proves that Team Rocket rigged the tournament. Luckily, Hana and Primeape won the tournament fair and square, and they return Hitmonlee to its real trainer.
"I still can't believe those three stole the man's Pokemon and entered the tournament," Chase says.
"I can't believe Team Rocket sabotaged Hitmonchan and tried to do the same to Primeape," Rebecca says.
"That's Team Rocket. They'll do anything to win, despite what happens," Chase says.
"We wouldn't have found the glue if it wasn't for the Tyrogues," Diana says, looking at the triplets.
The three Pokemon reveal as Tyrogue nods their heads.
"I remember seeing these three. They come to my gym once in a while to see Hitmonchan and I trainer. We even sometimes train them," Anthony says.
"So they're not your Pokemon. If anything, I think they took an interest in your Primeape," Anthony says.
Hana looks at them and asks, "Is that true."
The three Pokemon nod their heads with glee.
Hana smiles and asks, "Well then, will you like to be with Primeape. I'm sure he along with Lucario will help you to become great fighters."
The three Pokemon smile and nod their heads.
"Well then, welcome to the group," Hana says, bringing out three Pokeballs.
The three Pokemon go inside of the Pokeball. The light blinks and clicks in seconds, and soon the three Pokemon are in her Pokeballs. Soon after that, Hana has the three Tyrogues, Primeape, and Lucario sent to Professor Oak so they can do some training at home. Meloetta decides to join as well so she can do some more training with her new form. Professor Oak tells Hana that Meloetta's new form is called a Pirouette Forme.
After that, Hana and her friends say goodbye to Rebeca, Anthony and Hitmonchan. Hana also gains some new Pokemon and Primeape is a P-1 Champion. The four walk on the train to continue their next adventure.
Meanwhile, in a dark room, the man known as Team Rocket's leader is sitting on his chair as he pet his Persian.
Just then, a Team Rocket grunt walks over and holds Akira's tablet and phone.
He says, "Sir, Jessie and James recovered the devices from the Pokemon Cop."
"Excellent. Have one of our scientists examine it and see if they can find anything useful," The leader says.
"Yes sir," The Grunt says.
Then the leader asks, "And what of the four's location. Where are they heading to next?"
"According to 'it' psychic abilities, they are making their way to Gringey City," The Grunt says.
"I see. Make sure to tell it to continue tracking their movements," The Team Rocket Leader says.
"Yes sir," The Grunt says.
Then leaves the room as Team Rocket's leader begins to create a smirk on his face.
Inside another room, there seems to be a tall Pokemon that has some strange armor that covers its face and some parts of its body. The only thing that is visible to the Pokemon's body is its gray body, two short, blunt horns, long purple tail, three digits hands, and spherical tips feet. The Pokemon opens its eyes to reveal a blue glow and uses its psychic abilities to watch Hana and her friends walking to the next town.
As the Journey Continues.
