== Synopsis ==
==Blurb==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} are taking a rest in a valley before Ash goes up against his next [[Johto League]] [[Gym]]. While the three rest, a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Sentret}} stumbles upon them and reports what he saw back to the other Sentret. On a more restless note, {{TRT}} is planning on testing out their new [[Team Rocket's mechas|Arbo-Tank]] (a tank resembling {{p|Arbok}}) by stealing {{AP|Pikachu}} as the {{ashfr|twerps}} sleep, but as {{MTR}} points out, if they were to roll up to the twerps in the Arbo-Tank, it would wake them up, so the three have to get out and walk.
<!--https://www.pokemon.com/us/animation/seasons/3/episode-28-tanks-a-lot/-->
<i>Team Rocket's most recent super vehicle, the Arbotank, is their ticket to world domination—until Togepi and its newfound Sentret buddy climb inside and inadvertently initiate a cross-country joyride that wreaks unstoppable destruction on everything in their path.</i>


While Ash, Misty, Brock, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} sleep, the Sentret comes back and tries to figure out what Togepi is, but in the process, the fast-asleep Togepi rolls down a hill, and the wild Sentret chases him. At the bottom of the hill, Togepi wakes up and meets the Sentret. The two play together and end up rolling off a cliff, but they fall into the Arbo-Tank's opening. The two play with the control panel and figure out how to drive it, and when Team Rocket sees this, they chase after them.
==Plot==
A {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Sentret}} stumbles upon {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, who are taking a daytime nap, and reports what it saw back to its fellow Sentret. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is testing out their new [[Team Rocket's mechas|Arbotank]], a tank resembling {{p|Arbok}}. Though [[Jessie]] finds the group sound asleep, {{MTR}} points out that the noise from the Arbotank may wake them up, so Team Rocket contemplates merely getting out and walking in order to ambush them.


Misty is the first to wake from the nap and notices that Togepi is gone; but before she can wake up Ash, a Sentret comes along and wakes him. The Sentret tries to desperately tell him something, and Brock suggests that it's trying to find something it has lost. Then, the trio hear a crash coming from the distance. The crash came from Togepi and the Sentret trying to navigate around a rock, but once they do, they crash right into the side of a cliff.
Later, the first Sentret returns and tries to figure out what {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} is, but in the process, Togepi rolls down a hill, and it chases after it. At the bottom of the hill, Togepi wakes up and meets Sentret. The two play together and end up rolling off a cliff and into the Arbotank's hatch opening. Team Rocket hears the noise and is instantly alerted to the two Pokémon playing with the Arbotank's control panel. Togepi jumps on a lever, causing the mecha to take off, and Team Rocket chases after them.


Both Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket chase after the tank, and soon, the two groups meet up. Team Rocket tells Misty that Togepi is inside controlling the tank, and this sends Misty running for the tank again. Meowth then tells the Sentret that is with Ash's group that there's also another Sentret in the tank, which sends the Sentret right after Misty. Brock sends out {{TP|Brock|Onix}} so they can get to the tank faster. They get to a clearing that the Arbo-Tank should be passing by soon, and devise a plan:
{{an|Misty}} wakes up and notices that Togepi is gone, but before she can wake up Ash, another Sentret comes along and wakes him. It tries to desperately tell him something, and Brock suggests that it is trying to find something it has lost. Then, the trio hears a crash in the distance, revealed to be the Arbotank colliding into a cliff. Ash and his friends, meet up with Team Rocket, who tells Misty that Togepi and its Sentret are controlling the tank. {{an|Brock}} sends out {{TP|Brock|Onix}} so the group can get to the tank faster. They arrive at a clearing that the Arbotank will be passing by and devise a plan to stop the Arbotank. The plan partially succeeds, allowing {{AP|Pikachu}} to board the stuck Arbotank before it returns to a standing position and is freed.


Onix will dig a hole in the clearing, they'll fill it with rocks and crush those rocks to dirt. They will then use water Pokémon to turn it to mud, and the Arbo-Tank will fall into it and get stuck. Then, Ash, Pikachu, and their Sentret will enter the tank and rescue Togepi and the other Sentret.  
While [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|dressed as magicians]], Team Rocket uses a magic trick to trap the Arbotank in another hole. Meowth jumps inside, only to be greeted with Pikachu's {{m|Thunder Shock}}. The shock causes a technical failure, which activates a spring on the bottom of the Arbotank, and the mecha bounces out of the hole. Ash, his friends, their Sentret, and Team Rocket give chase again as the Arbotank continues its rampage. At Ash's insistence, Sentret calls out for danger, allowing the other Pokémon to hide and reach safety. The tank starts going faster and is about to crash into the side of another cliff, but Togepi uses {{m|Metronome}} to drill a hole through the mountain. Brock realizes that if it drills straight through the mountain, it will destroy a town on the other side. As a result, Ash sends out {{AP|Charizard}} to defeat it.


The Arbo-Tank gets there before they can completely turn it to mud, but it falls into the half-filled hole. Pikachu, Ash, Misty, and the Sentret rush to help rescue the two, but as the begin to climb inside, the Arbo-Tank is able to return to a standing position, and only Pikachu is able to get inside. With a rocket, Togepi blasts the tank out of the hole and continues on the accidental rampage.  
The group follows Charizard aboard Onix, just as Charizard is almost able to bring the tank to a halt. Pikachu, Onix and the group's Sentret helps Charizard, eventually causing a complete mechanical failure. Charizard then uses {{m|Flamethrower}} to melt one of the mecha's windows, allowing to Pikachu, Togepi, and their Sentret to flee. However, with Meowth still inside, Jessie and [[James]] try to rescue the Arbotank at the last second. However, the mecha explodes, sending them blasting off again.


Dressed as magicians, Team Rocket appears and says they have a trick to show, and suddenly, the Arbo-Tank disappears. Ash and his friends rush to see what happened to it, but when they get there, they see that the tank has fallen into another hole, this one which Team Rocket dug. Meowth jumps into the tank, only to be greeted with Pikachu's {{m|ThunderShock}}. The shock causes a technical failure with activates a spring on the bottom of the tank, bouncing it out of the hole and away from Ash.  
As Ash and his friends watch the smoldering remains of the Arbotank, the two Sentret reunite while Misty scolds Togepi. [[Officer Jenny]] arrives on the scene in her motorcycle. She thanks Ash and his friends for creating the tunnel, which halves the time required to travel between the town and [[Violet City]]. The trio laughs amongst themselves about the fact that Team Rocket were responsible for some accidental good.


While the tank is smashing its way through the cliffs, Sentret calls to signal for danger so other Pokémon will know to hide. The tank starts going faster and is about to crash into the side of a cliff, but Togepi uses {{m|Metronome}} to drill a hole through the mountain. Brock concludes that if it drills straight through the mountain, it will destroy a town on the other side, and no natural obstacle with overcome it, so they need to use {{AP|Charizard}} to defeat it.

Charizard is able to bring the tank to almost a halt, but needs help to completely stop it, so the Sentret with Ash. Pikachu uses a ThunderShock on the inside to cause a complete mechanical failure, and Onix grabs onto the Arbo-Tank's tail. Charizard uses {{m|Flamethrower}} to melt the window and free Pikachu, Togepi, Sentret, and Meowth, but Meowth doesn't get out, so [[Jessie]] and [[James]] try and rescue him, but the Arbo-Tank explodes, sending them blasting off again.

Team Rocket's most recent super vehicle, the Arbotank, is their ticket to world domination—until Togepi and its newfound Sentret buddy climb inside and inadvertently initiate a cross-country joyride that wreaks unstoppable destruction on everything in their path.

Plot

A wild Sentret stumbles upon Ash and his friends, who are taking a daytime nap, and reports what it saw back to its fellow Sentret. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is testing out their new Arbotank, a tank resembling Arbok. Though Jessie finds the group sound asleep, Meowth points out that the noise from the Arbotank may wake them up, so Team Rocket contemplates merely getting out and walking in order to ambush them.

Later, the first Sentret returns and tries to figure out what Togepi is, but in the process, Togepi rolls down a hill, and it chases after it. At the bottom of the hill, Togepi wakes up and meets Sentret. The two play together and end up rolling off a cliff and into the Arbotank's hatch opening. Team Rocket hears the noise and is instantly alerted to the two Pokémon playing with the Arbotank's control panel. Togepi jumps on a lever, causing the mecha to take off, and Team Rocket chases after them.

Misty wakes up and notices that Togepi is gone, but before she can wake up Ash, another Sentret comes along and wakes him. It tries to desperately tell him something, and Brock suggests that it is trying to find something it has lost. Then, the trio hears a crash in the distance, revealed to be the Arbotank colliding into a cliff. Ash and his friends, meet up with Team Rocket, who tells Misty that Togepi and its Sentret are controlling the tank. Brock sends out Onix so the group can get to the tank faster. They arrive at a clearing that the Arbotank will be passing by and devise a plan to stop the Arbotank. The plan partially succeeds, allowing Pikachu to board the stuck Arbotank before it returns to a standing position and is freed.

While dressed as magicians, Team Rocket uses a magic trick to trap the Arbotank in another hole. Meowth jumps inside, only to be greeted with Pikachu's Thunder Shock. The shock causes a technical failure, which activates a spring on the bottom of the Arbotank, and the mecha bounces out of the hole. Ash, his friends, their Sentret, and Team Rocket give chase again as the Arbotank continues its rampage. At Ash's insistence, Sentret calls out for danger, allowing the other Pokémon to hide and reach safety. The tank starts going faster and is about to crash into the side of another cliff, but Togepi uses Metronome to drill a hole through the mountain.
