Episode 158: A Corsola Caper!
A short time later, Maren ports to Yellow Rock Isle. Sora, Kairi, Tracey, Pikachu, Angel, Togepi, and the Pichu departs from the boat.
"And here we are to Yellow Rock Isle," Maren said.
"Thanks for the lift, Maren," Kairi said.
"Anytime. I wish you luck on your way," Maren said.
"Thanks," Tracey said.
"I'll see you there, Sora," Lana said.
"You too, Lana," Sora said.
"Pika!" Pikachu said.
With that said, Maren's boat takes its leave as Lana waves goodbye to Sora, Kairi, and Tracey. They wave back to her.
After seeing Lana off to Red Rock Isle, they explore around the island.
"I can see why it's called Yellow Rock Isle. The rocks here are yellow," Kairi said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"Toge, Toge," Togepi chirped.
"Wow, that was just staring at me in the face," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Pichu," the Shiny Pichu said.
"Pichu," the Spiky-eared Pichu said.
"But the yellow rocks aren't the only things that made Yellow Rock Isle famous. You should have a look into the marketplace and see what I mean," Tracey said.
He leads the couple into Megi City and arrived to the marketplace and the couple saw what looks like pink crystals.
"Oh, wow! Those are so very pretty!" Kairi said.
"These are crafted from Corsola horns," Tracey said.
"Corsola horns?" Sora asked.
"I'll be more than happy to explain," young man said as he came to the booth chuckled a bit. "These are carved from the discarded Corsola horns since they shed their horns and regrow new ones," the young man said.
"Is that right?" Sora asked.
"I heard of that Corsola sheds their horns and grows new ones in their place. And they discarded horns are crafted into works of art and sold to art collectors and enthusiasts," Tracey said.
"As a Pokémon Watcher, you would know that," Sora said.
"It's nothing special," Tracey said.
The shop attendant said smiling. He looks right at the Pikachu on Sora's shoulder and Pichu riding on Kairi's shoulder. Sora looked right at the shop attendant.
"Um, something I can help you with?" Sora asked.
"I'm sorry to stare. I just wanted to say that I like your Pikachu. And those little Pichu, too," the shop attendant said.
"Thanks, I guess," Sora said.
"It's just, everyone who lives here on Yellow Rock Isle are extremely fond of yellow Pokémon. And your Pikachu is it," the shop attendant said. Sora looked at Pikachu and patted his partner on the head.
"Thanks," Sora said. Kairi realized she has yellow Pokémon of her own, so she hands Togepi to Tracey and takes out two of her Pokéballs.
"I have yellow Pokémon of my own," Kairi admitted. She lets out Sunflora and Girafarig. "What do you think of my Abra, Elekid, and Cutiefly?" The shop attendant smiled.
"Those are pretty neat Pokémon you've got there. You got yourself such a happy Sunflora, and your Girafarig is very cute," the shop attendant said. Girafarig's tail head looked around. The head at the tail informed Girafarig and started to go off.
"Thank you. All of them are very cute," Kairi said. She didn't notice Girafarig wondering off.
"Just where did you find all those Corsola horns to make this stuff?" Sora asked.
"I found those on the beach just in that direction," the shop attendant said pointing straight ahead. "When you get there, you'll be amazed by what you can find there."
"Yeah? What would we find there?" Sora asked interested.
"Just a bunch of Corsola nests and more," the shop attendant said.
"Corsola nests, huh? Then we should totally check it out," Sora said.
"I'm with you, Sora. I would like to get some sketches of the Corsola living here," Tracey said.
"Then we should get going," Kairi said. Angel noticed Girafarig was missing.
"Eevee, Eevee, Eevee!" Angel exclaimed. Kairi looked at the female Eevee.
"What's wrong, Angel?" Kairi asked. She looked at Sunflora and noticed Girafarig was missing. "Where's Girafarig?"
"He was just right here a moment ago," Sora said.
"You don't think Girafarig just wondered off somewhere?" Tracey asked.
"We should find him," Kairi said. Pikachu and Angel picked up the Long Neck Pokémon's scent and followed. It turns out that Girafarig headed out for the beach. Sora, Kairi, Tracey, and the Pokémon looked around for Girafarig. "Girafarig! Where are you Girafarig?"
"Girafarig!" Sora and Tracey called out.
"Pika!" Pikachu called out.
"Eevee!" Angel added.
"Flora, Sunflora!" Sunflora also addee.
Girafarig then comes running and frantically squeals. Kairi knew something was very wrong.
"What's the matter, Girafarig?" Kairi asked. Girafarig looked to the sea and witnessed a house floating out to sea. "A floating house?" A Corsola and a little girl with long reddish-brown hair and blue eyes wearing a yellow dress and has her hair tied in pigtails by orange bands wearing a pair of sandals along with a Corsola on the front porch.
"CORSOLA! CORSOLA! CORSOLA!" The Corsola cried out.
"HELP US PLEASE!" The little girl cried. Sora, Kairi, and Tracey gasped upon seeing the little girl and Corsola in trouble.
"I see what you're trying to tell me," Kairi said.
"Pika," Pikachu added.
"Look where's that house is heading towards!" Sora said, pointing to a whirlpool. The little girl cried so much.
"A whirlpool!" Tracey exclaimed in shock.
"We gotta help her before they reach that whirlpool!" Sora said.
"How?" Kairi asked.
"Maybe we can use Girafarig's Psychic to lift the house right towards us," Tracey suggested.
"It's worth a shot. Try it," Sora said. Kairi nodded. She turns the Long Neck Pokémon.
"Girafarig, use your Psychic to move the house and bring it right to us. Can you do that?" Kairi asked. Girafarig nodded. "Great! Use your Psychic to lift the whole house!" Girafarig lifted the entire house, using Psychic. The little girl had stopped crying and saw she was levitating in the air. Girafarig house levitated right to the shore and Girafarig gently placed the house down. Kairi pets the Long Neck Pokémon's head "You did great, Girafarig! I knew you could do it!" Girafarig beamed, having to been complemented by Kairi. Are you okay, sweetie?"
"Yes, I am, thanks to all of you," the little girl said.
"Corsola! Corsola Corsola!" The Corsola chirped.
"That's good to know. What's your name, kid?" Tracey asked.
Before the little girl could introduce herself, a man with black hair wearing a blue shirt and blue jeans with black shoes along with a teenage girl identical to the little girl and has hair tied in a ponytail wearing a light blue dress and wore white sandals.
"Mika!" The man's voice called out with a happy tone.
"Mika!" The teenage girl also called out.
"Daddy! Andrea!" Mika called back to the two people. Sora, Kairi, and Tracey had to assume those two were her father and her sister. The two people hugged the little girl tightly.
"Oh my baby! I'm just so happy to see that you're okay!" Mika's father cried.
"You gave us quite a scare when you floated out to sea in our house," Andrea said.
"I'm sorry for scaring you," Mika apologized.
"Don't apologize, Mika. What matters is you're safe," Andrea said.
"It was these people here you saved me from that whirlpool," Mika said pointing to Sora and the rest. They looked right over to the group and they smiled warmly.
"We're so very grateful" the man said gratefully.
"You saved my little sister," Andrea said.
"You don't have to thank us. It was my Girafarig who saved the day. He was very quick to notice," Kairi said. Girafarig nodded.
"Thank you for saving my little sister," Andrea thanked the group. "How can we ever thank you?"
"You don't have to do that. It was just a good thing we were around when it happened," Sora said. "My name's Sora."
"I'm Kairi."
"Pikachu."
"Toge, Togepi."
"Pichu," The Shiny Pichu chirped.
"Pichu, Pi," Spiky-eared Pichu chirped.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"And I'm Tracey," Tracey finished.
"Good to meet all of you. My name is Andrew and this is my oldest daughter Andrea and my youngest daughter Mika," he introduced himself and his family.
"You too. But, how did your house end up like that in the first place?" Sora asked.
"Well, it's because we live on top of a pile of Corsola," Andrea said.
"On top of Corsola?" Sora asked.
"What do you mean by that?" Kairi asked.
"What I mean is we actually live on top of a Corsola nest," Andrea summarized.
"On top of a Corsola nest? I get it," Sora said.
"Why do you live on top of a Corsola nest, anyway?" Kairi asked.
"It's been a tradition on Yellow Rock Isle to build our homes on top of Corsola nests," Andrea explained.
"Now that you mention it, I do remember reading about it in the guidebook. That is quite interesting," Tracey said.
"Daddy is an artist who works with Corsola horns and since Corsola sheds and regrows them all the time, living on top of a Corsola nest makes them very easy to collect," Andrea said.
"Very convenient," Sora said.
"Corsola! Corsola! Corsola!" The Coral Pokémon chirped.
"This one seems to be booming with energy," Kairi said.
"This one Corsola had just appeared on our doorstep," Andrea said.
"Appeared on your doorstep?" Kairi asked.
"This Corsola came around just recently, and its personality isn't like any of the others around here. It just started to tackle all of the other Cosrola and it went on until they all just had enough and left," Andrea said.
"Corsola!" Corsola chirped.
"Daddy and I were shocked to see that all of the Corsola were just gone. And without any of the Corsola left, the foundation just broke apart from the shore and our house just slid out to sea," Andrea said.
"That explains that. But, how did this Corsola end up in that situation, too?" Sora asked.
"Corsola just swam out and bravely tried to pull our house back to shore, but it just wasn't strong enough," Andrea said.
"And that's where we came in," Kairi said. Kairi understood why Girafarig wondered onto the beach, because he picked up the trouble before theyball did and when the Long Neck Pokémon saw the drifting house with Mika on it. Corsola looks right over to Pikachu. Pikachu wasn't sure about how to resond since he felt a bit weirded out. Corsola happily dove right at Pikachu, but he moves out of the way only to hit Sunflora instead.
"Sunflora!" Kairi called out in concern. She ran up to her Pokémon, helping him up. "Are you okay, sweetie?"
"Flora," Sunflora wheezed.
"Just glad that you're doing okay," Kairi said. She took out Sunflora's Pokéball. "You should rest up for a while." Sunflora flows back inside the Pokéball to rest up.
"Corsola, Corsola, Corsola!" Corsola chirped happily, jumping up and down.
"Is it safe to assume that this Corsola is a wild Corsola?" Tracey asked.
"Yes it is," Andrea said.
"Somehow we have to find a way of getting our Corsola back," Andrew said.
"It's very important that the Corsola back as soon as possible," Andrew said.
"Because our future dedends on them," Andrea said. Sora looked right at the other houses and the other Corsola nests and he knew for certain that it would be a problem, not only for the other Corsola living on the island, but for all of the other houses if that wild Corsola keeps going at it.
"Then we'll have to help out to find all of those Corsola," Sora said.
"I'm with Sora. It'll be a bigger problem for everyone else if this keeps up," Tracey said.
"Before that happens, we'll have to find each and every one of those Corsola. Let's get started," Sora said.
With that settled, the trio and the family got started searching for the missing Corsola. The wild Corsola tagged along for the search.
Meanwhile at the shop from earlier, Team Rocket had gotten on the island and dropped in through the ceiling.
"It's such a miracle that we got away from those Qwilfish pretty fast," Jessie said happily.
"I would choose Qwilfish over Heartless any day of the week and on any month of the year," James said in a chipper mood.
"Hate to cut this short, but we have some stealing to do! And we have to make double time to make up for it," Meowth said.
"How right you are, Meowth. Let's see what all sorts of treasures you have!" James said when he took a box and exaimed it. His eyes popped out of his head. "Jessie! Meowth! Look at this! Corsola artwork!"
"What?! Corsola artwork?!" Jessie exclaimed. James shushed her.
"Shut up, Jessie! Do you want someone to hear us?" James chided her in a whisper. Jessie took the box he was holding and her eyes sparkled seeing all the pink aircrafts. Among them was a pink crown engraved with emeralds and rubies all around.
"Such beauty! Worthy for a queen!" Jessie beamed, putting the crown on her head. "A perfect fit!" Jessie began to lose herself in fantasy.
"What a widespread of goodies here! When we sell these, the money we make can take care of our debts in a blink of an eye," James said.
"And when we keep it up, our Corsola art will sell faster than hotcakes!" Meowth said.
Of course Jessie wasn't listening and she got lost into her fantasies.
"Ah, to live the good life! To live the bounty of beauty!" Jessie said. Jessie snapped back to reality. "I just an epiphany! Why should we spent our lives following twerps when our true calling is living in a life of luxury. Jessie imagined herself as a queen wearing an elegant white gown. "Living large and commanding my own kingdom where even servants have servants! All thanks to you, my loyal subjects!" Jessie bows her head. We switch back to reality with James and Meowth filling their bags with Corsola artwork. "Thank you, my subjects! Say hello to your lovely queen." Jessie laughed happily.
"I think she's has that crown on too tight, I'd believe both," Meowth said.
"At least Attila and Hun are more modest. I even hate to say this, but even Cassidy and Butch are more settle. I mean, talk about a legend in her own mind," James said.
"I'm starting to mind!" Meowth said. He turns to the day dreaming Jessie. "Hey, your highness! How about getting with the freaking program!" Jessie scowled at the Scratch Cat Pokémon.
"Oh alright! I'm helping!" Jessie grumbled. She places some Corsola artwork in a bag of her own.
"Shake a leg, Jessie!" James yelled. Just outside, the shopkeeper hears the voices inside.
"What's going on in there?!" The shopkeeper exclaimed. He opens the door and sees Team Rocket in the storage room. "Hey! How did you three get in here?!" Team Rocket winced when they were spotted.
"Uh, we were just leaving!" Meowth said. "Bye-bye!
"Run, Jessie!" James told her. Team Rocket dashed towards the other door when the crown Jessie was wearing starts spinning in the air.
"Oops! One more thing!" Jessie said, taking the crown.
"STOP! THIEVES!" The shopkeeper shouted. Outside, Sora, Kairi, Tracey Pikachu, Angel, Togepi, and the Pichu, helps Andrew, his two daughters, and the wild Corsola search for the missing Corsola from their home when they heard someone shouting. "HELP! POLICE! ANYONE! ROBBERS!" They stopped in their tracks when they spotted Team Rocket running from the shopkeeper.
"Not them again," Sora groaned.
"Let's face it, Sora, it's too good a thing to be rid of them," Kairi said. Sora sighs and he knew his girlfriend was right.
"You have a good point there. But, still," Sora said, "There's no way that we're going to let them get away with this!" Kairi and Tracey agreed. They blocked Team Rocket's escape. "I don't know why you're here and I really don't care, but you're not going anywhere with those."
"You shall pre~pare for trouble!" Jessie sang doing a pirouette.
"This ain't time for spouting out the motto!" Meowth snapped at her. Andrew saw the crown sitting on top of her head.
"I made that crown! It's invaluable!" Andrew exclaimed. The shopkeeper caught up to the thieves.
"They stole every piece of Corsola artwork from my shop!" The shopkeeper exclaimed.
"Give those back!" Kairi said.
"A queen and her beautiful crown are never parted! Never!" Jessie refused. The wild Corsola tackled right into Jessie, causing her to fall right on the ground. "WHY YOU INSOLENT PUNY PINK PUNK!"
"Looks like Queen Jessie had just been overthrown," Sora joked.
"Not so fast!" James said, holding a Pokéball. "Victreebel! Go!" James threw the Pokéball. Upon being let out, Victreebel munches on James's head once again. "NOT ME, YOU PUTRID PLANT! THEM!" His legs wiggles around. Sora and Kairi stepped in to deal with Team Rocket. Both took out a Pokéball each.
"Gor for it, Golduck!" Sora called out.
"Brick! Go!" Kairi also called out.
The couple's Pokémon entered the battle. Jessie took out a Pokéball and threw it.
"Arbok! Defend the honor of your queen!" Jessie yelled. "Arbok! Use your Crunch now!" Arbok moved in to deliver a hard bite.
"Victreebel! Use your Leaf Blade!" James ordered. Victreebel charges towards Sora and Kairi's Pokémon to land an attack.
"Golduck! Use Fury Swipes on Victreebel!" Sora ordered. Golduck swipes his claws on the Fly Catcher Pokémon four times.
"Brick! Aqua Tail on Arbok!" Kairi ordered. Brick spins his tail like a mace with water emitting from it and threw it right at Arbok, landing a heavy hit.
"Arbok! Poison Sting on that puny bug!" Jessie ordered. Arbok fired Poison Stong right at Brick.
"Golduck! Use Water Pulse!" Sora ordered. Golduck hurls his Water Pulse, blocking Arbok's Poison Sting.
"Victreebel! Hit Golduck with Vine Whip!" James ordered. Victreebel swung its vine to strike at Golduck. Kairi was going to counter that.
"Cutiefly! Ice Beam!" Kairi ordered. Brick fires an Ice Beam at Victreebel, freezing it in a block of ice. Victreebel lands right on Arbok.
"Thanks for the save, Kairi," Sora thanked his girlfriend and smiled.
"You saved Brick with Golduck's Water Pulse. So, fair's fair," Kairi said. Kairi also smiled.
"Arbok! Wrap now!" Jessie ordered. Arbok charges towards the two Pokémon to wrap his body around them.
"No you don't, you witch!" Kairi shouted. "Brick! Play Rough!" Brick heads right towards Arbok and Victreebel pummeling the both of them in a cloud of dust.
"Nice one, Kairi!" Sora praised her.
"Thanks, Sora! Wanna do the honors?" Kairi asked.
"With pleasure," Sora said, taking out another Pokéball. "Go Blastoise!" Sora threw his Pokéball to let out Blastoise.
"Blastoise!" Blastoise said getting his cannons ready.
"Okay Blastoise! Hydro Pump!" Sora ordered. Blastoise fired highly pressurized water from his water cannons and washes Team Rocket and knocking the Corsola artwork off of Jessie.
"No! All of my royal finery!" Jessie cried.
"IT LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" Team Rocket cried being washed away with Blastoise's Hydro Pump attack.
"Good riddance to those three losers," Kairi said. Sora laughed and wrapped his arm around Kairi's shoulder.
"You've been reading my mind," Sora said. Kairi giggled at that. Blastoise, Golduck, and Brick were in full agreement having to beat Team Rocket once again and get back the stolen art pieces. The shopkeeper was now picking up his property.
"Thanks so much for getting them back for me," the shopkeeper said, gratefully.
"It was just a good thing we were nearby when you were chasing them," Sora said.
"It sure was," the shopkeeper said picking up all of his stolen property. "I honestly don't know what those troublemakers were thinking."
"I do. That girl was thinking she was queen in her own mind. And if you ask me, she would have been overthrown with a snap of a pair of fingers," Sora said, making Kairi laugh.
"There, that's all of them," the shopkeeper said.
"We should get these back inside," Andrew said.
"You didn't see any Corsola around here by chance have you?" Kairi asked.
"No, I haven't. Why?" The shopkeeper asked.
"Somehow, all of our Corsola from home are gone," Andrea answered.
"What?! You mean all of your Corsola are gone?! That's terrible!" The shopkeeper said in shock.
"But we're helping out to find them," Sora said.
"Hm. I'm sure you will," the shopkeeper said.
The group went into the nearby woods and continued their search for the missing Corsola. It turns out that the Corsola were all given names.
"Annie! Danny!" Mika called out. "Kenny! Denny!
"Ronnie! Vonnie!" Andrew also called out.
"Question: do they all have names?" Sora asked.
"Yeah. All the Corsola are part of the family," Mika answered Sora.
"Makes a lot of sense to me. My mom did the same thing with Mimey so long ago. Back on track, they can't be too far away," Sora said. The wild Corsola proves its point when it found one of the other Corsola.
"Corsola?" The wild Corsola asked. "Corsola! Corsola! Corsola!"
The frightened Corsola winced to been found by the wild Corsola and retreated. Andrea heard the Corsola call out and ran up to it. She recognized the Corsola.
"Annie! Oh, Annie, I'm so very happy that we finally found you. Where are the others?" Andrea asked.
"Corsola, Corsola," Annie shook her head.
"What? You don't know?" Andrea asked.
"Corsol," Annie answered sadly.
"That's one of them," Sora said.
"I think it'll be a good idea if we leave some Pokémon food out here for the Corsola to find and eat when they get hungry," Tracey said.
"That's a good idea. This Pokémon food, should have the nutrients needed for Rock-type Pokémon," Kairi said.said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
Kairi has made the Pokémon food and placed it in the forest for one or two of the Corsola to find and eat.
The group set off for the shore and figured they would be hiding somewhere around the beach.
"How could so many Corsola be so hard to find?" Sora asked. The wild Corsola found another Corsola and got scared. It hopped to get away from that Corsola and jumped right into Mika's arms.
"Look! It's Bonnie!" Mika cheered.
"Corsola, Corsola, Corsola!" The wild Corsola said happily. Kairi looked at the Corsola and figured something out.
"I think I know why this Corsola is happy," Kairi said.
"Why's that, Kairi?" Tracey asked.
"I don't think she was challenging the other Corsola into a fight. She was just lonely and she just tackled into other Corsola as a sign of affection," Kairi said.
"That does explain why she tried to tackle into Pikachu earlier. She just wanted to be his friend," Tracey said.
"Pika," Pikachu deadpanned. He knew how Sunflora must have felt after getting tackled by Corsola when he dodged. Pikachu thought the same thing at first.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"But, the other Corsola didn't like it and just left. And they thought she was challenging them in a fight," Kairi said.
"No wonder they left. The reason they left is only because they didn't want to be tackled again," Tracey said.
"I guess no one had ever told this Corsola that's not how you make friends," Sora said. "How about we head back where Kairi had dumped that Pokémon food for some of the Corsola. I can think they have already gotten to it by now."
"Good idea. That's what we'll do," Andrea agreed. The group did go back to the spot Kairi had left the food bait and found two Corsola eating the Pokémon food.
"Look. Two more Corsola," Sora said in a whisper.
"And which ones are those?" Tracey asked in a whisper.
"That's got to be Benny and Kenny," Andrea said.
"Corsola! Corsola! Corsola!" The wild Corsola shouted with excitement. Benny and Kenny turned to hear her just in time for Sora and Tracey to pick them up.
"Don't be scared," Sora said.
"We're your friends," Tracey said.
"Corsola! Corsola!" The two Corsola chirped.
Not too far, Team Rocket have been blasted off in a tree spies on the group gathering the Corsola.
"Hm. They're gathering together all those Corsola for something," Meowth said. He lowers the binoculars.
"That means there might be even more Corsola right around here," James said.
"There will be once they're done," Jessie said.
"And the boss is going to be so happy when we bring back all of those Corsola for him. I mean so very happy, he will give that promotion we've been dreaming of and he'll completely forget about our debts," Meowth stated. Jessie and James liked that idea. "But, not only that, but he'll have all of Corsola, instead of the Corsola horns. And when he sees all of those Corsola in the backyard of his estate, he's going to be thinking of us! The boss will freaking love us!"
"Then let's go! Let's collect those Corsola and collect our reward and get the hell out of our debt!" James said happily.
"Hold on, you two," Jessie said. "I'm thinking there might be an even better way." Jessie chuckles.
Kairi had let out Ledian to search the sky for the remaining Corsola. Ledian flies back to Kairi to give the report.
"Did you find the Corsola, Ledian?" Kairi asked. The Five Star Pokémon nods to confirm it. She leads the group to where they are. Two Corsola stand on the beach and they looked at Ledian flying down. "There they are!" The Corsola turns to see where the voice came from.
"Ronnie! Vonnie!" Andrea said happily. The two Corsola saw the wild Corsola and attempted to run away, only for Tracey and Scyther to catch up with them.
"Don't run away you two! You're perfectly safe," Tracey said assuringly.
"Scyther," Scyther said.
Kairi smiled warmly at her Ledian.
"You did a great job, Ledian. You've been such a big help," Kairi said. Ledian beamed.
They all went to the house and Andrea does a count to make sure they didn't miss any of the Corsola.
"Let's see here, Annie, Danny, Connie, Bonnie, Johnny, Donny, Ronnie, Lonnie, Vonnie, Benny, Kenny, and Denny. This is all of them," Andrea said.
"We sure have couldn't have done it with out your help, Sora," Andrew said.
"We were just glad to help out," Sora said. He scratched the back of his head. Just then, a whole bunch of ropes comes shooting down only for Scyther to use Slash and cuts all the rope. Scyther flew right the source and destroyed the rope wrangling machine. Sora looked at all the cut ropes as did Kairi, the Tracey, and the family. "Nice try, Team Rocket!"
"Why can't you ever let us take whatever we want?! I mean we are supposed to win!" Jessie scowled at the group.
"You're joking right? I mean, the bad guys don't win at all! Attila, Hun, Butch, Cassidy, and Proton are much better bad guys than you morons!" Sora taunted. That made Jessie growl at the mere mention of Cassidy and his insult towards Team Rocket.
"DON'T YOU DARE MENTION THAT CASSIDY! I HATE THAT POMPOUS BLONDE WITCH! I'M GOING TO SHOW HER THAT I'M MUCH BETTER THAN SHE IS!" Jessie scowled.
"Jessie! We have some Corsola to swipe! Steal now! Vendetta later!" James told his colleague. Jessie groaned.
"Fine," Jessie hissed. She then sets her attention to the group. "Now hand over all of those Corsola and Pikachu, too!"
"You wanna get them, then get down here and get them yourself!" Sora dared Team Rocket.
"Yeah!" Kairi agreed.
"Pika!" Pikachu chipped in.
"Eevee!" Angel also chipped in.
"Pichu!" The Shiny Pichu also chipped in.
"Pichu!" The Spiky-eared Pichu added.
"Toge, Toge," Togepi chirped.
"Then, that's what we're gonna do!" Jessie said taking out Arbok's Pokéball. Team Rocket comes out of their balloon to battle Sora, Kairi, and Tracey. "Arbok! Go!" The Pokéball opens and Arbok hisses upon entry.
"Go Victreebel!" James shouted when he threw Victreebel's Pokéball. When Victreebel is let out, he immediatley starts munching on James once again. "YOU JUST DON'T GET IT, DO YOU?!" James exclaimed being munched on. Sora takes out Kingler's Pokéball to battle again.
"Go for it, Kingler!" Sora shouted when Kingler is let out of his Pokéball. Kairi took out a Pokéball and threw it.
"Go for it, Girafarig!" Kairi shouted. Girafarig is let out to battle with Team Rocket. All of the Corsola joined in battling Team Rocket along with Ledian.
"Victreebel! Razor Leaf!" James ordered. Victreebel fires Razor Leaf to strike his targets.
"Watch out! They're sharp!" Andrea gasped.
"Girafarig! Block it with Psychic!" Kairi ordered. Girafarig blocks Victreebel's attack with Psychic and sends it back to its owner.
"Arbok! Use Wrap on Girafarig!" Jessie ordered. Arbok charges towards Girafarig to wrap around him.
"Kingler! Crabhammer!" Sora ordered. Water surrounds Kingler's pincer and slams it onto the Cobra Pokémon and he is sent falling to the ground. Arbok gets back up only to be tackled by the Corsola again.
"Thanks for the save, Sora!" Kairi thanked her boyfriend.
"Anytime, Kairi!" Sora said.
"Girafarig! Psybeam!" Kairi ordered. Girafarig fires Psybeam right towards the opposing Pokémon. The Corsola all moved out of the way, letting it hit Arbok and Victreebel. James takes out another Pokéball and throws it.
"Go Weezing!" James called out letting out Weezing. "Weezing! Double Hit!" Weezing moved in and delievered Double Hit on Kingler and Girafarig. Kingler is sent back, and also Girafarig. "Now use Sludge Wave!" Weezing sends out a wave of Sludge right at his opponents.
"Ledian! Bug Buzz!" Kairi ordered. Ledian flapped her wings and created a huge soundwave to cancel out Sludge Wave and strikes Weezing hard.
"Arbok! Headbutt and that puny bug!" Jessie ordered. Arbok headbutted into Ledian. She starts spiraling out of control and then, regained her balance.
"Ledian! Use Mach Punch!" Kairi ordered. Ledian dashed right at Arbok and lands a punch on him! "Use Comet Punch!" Ledian gave Arbok several punches.
"Now Victreebel! Vine Whip!" James ordered. Victreebel grabs the wild Corsola by the horn and slams her to the ground. Corsola's body glows a yellow aura.
"Corsola is using Recover," Tracey said.
The wild Corsola and the family's Corsola all join forces and gather to give Team Rocket what they have coming. They all aim their horns right at Team Rocket.
"Oh crap..." James winced.
"I think they want..." Jessie started.
"...target practice," Meowth finished.
The Corsola fires Spike Cannon and Team Rocket starts running as they were getting pelted with the attack as well. They make it back to their ballon, but one of the spikes hits the lighter in the hot air balloon, causing it to explode. Team goes flying in the air once again.
"My dream of royalty up in smoke!" Jessie cried in disdain.
"How many times did we blast off in the last twenty-something years?" Meowth asked.
"I don't know. I lost count," James said.
"THIS IS TOO MANY!" Team Rocket shouted when they went flying in the sky.
With Team Rocket thwarted again, Kairi bends down to the wild Corsola.
"Your help is very appreciated, Corsola. You really showed them your stuff," Kairi said. She looked right at Kairi and smiled.
"Corsola! Corsola, Corsola!" Corsola said.
"What's on your mind, Corsola?" Kairi asked.
"I think Corsola wants to challenge you to a battle, Kairi," Sora said.
"You sure?" Kairi asked.
"I'm sure. And I know Corsola is the right Pokémon for you, so the honors are yours," Sora said.
"I agree. You should go for it," Tracey said.
Kairi understood and went for it. She and Corsola got into position to battle.
"I'm ready whenever you are, Corsola," Kairi said.
"Corsola!" Corsola said. Kairi took out a Pokéball and threw it.
"Go! Jumpluff!" Kairi called out, letting Jumpluff enters the battle. "Once this battle is over with, not only I get a new Pokémon, but you get a new friend." Jumpluff got fired up hearing it. "Jumpluff! Bullet Seed!" Jumpluff fired Bullet Seed, hitting Corsola on the spot. Corsola charges in with a Tackle and strikes the Cottonweed Pokémon. "Use Fairy Wind!" Jumpluff blew Fairy Wind right at Corsola and the attack hits her hard. "Great! Now use Bounce!" Jumpluff jumps into the air and comes back down, hitting Corsola. She lands in the sand. Corsola uses Recover to heal herself of her injuries. "She used Recover to heal. Poliwhirl! Energy Ball!" Jumpluff fires Energy Ball and it gets reflected back when Corsola's body glows a blue aura and sends it back to Jumpluff.
"Corsola just fought back with Mirror Coat!" Sora exclaimed.
"Better play this smart. Gotta give Corsola a hard time just so she won't use Recover," Kairi said to herself. "Jumpluff! Bullet Seed!" Jumpluff gave Corsola another barrage of seeds. "Bullet Seed again and again!" Jumpluff keeps firing seeds at Corsola again and again. "Now use Bounce!" Poliwhirl slams her whole body into Corsola, knocking her out. Kairi got a Lure Ball ready and threw it at the Coral Pokémon. Once Corsola is struck with the apricorn Pokéball, Corsola flows inside. The Lure Ball wobbles around and around for a bit, hoping Corsola would stay inside. Stars around the Lure Ball confirming the catch is successful. Kairi's Pokémon Box goes off asking her if she wants to keep Corsola with her. She chose to keep Corsola in exchange for Brick.
"Way to go, Kairi! Great catch!" Sora cheered.
"Thanks, Sora! I'm happy for your praise," Kairi said. She and Sora kissed each other on the lips.
After adding Corsola to the team, the house was placed on the Corsola nest it once occupied and the family and the Corsola said their goodbyes to Sora, Kairi, Tracey and the Pokémon as they continued onward to Red Rock Isle and to compete in the Whirl Cup competition.
