Pietra
Pietra (Japanese: エリコ Eriko) is the character of the day in Right On, Rhydon. She is voiced by Rachael Lillis in English and 冬馬由美 Yumi Tōma in Japanese.
Pietra wanted to capture a particular Rhydon that knew Surf. The reason was that her grandmother sprained her ankle and Pietra wanted to make it easier for her to travel by digging a tunnel through a mountain. She was using Template:Type2 Pokémon to try to achieve this. They nearly got through but when they started to dig deeper, water began to drip on them and they got scared and ran away. That's why she wanted that Rhydon because it wasn't afraid of water.
Pietra, Ash, and the gang come across Rhydon but it escapes into the lake. Ash uses his Totodile and Misty, her Water Pokémon to help search for it. Pietra uses her boat to go out on the lake. Soon, Totodile discovers Rhydon by accident and bites on its horn, angering it. Pietra tries to battle it but is unsuccessful after it uses Horn Drill in the water and causes a whirlpool.
They travel over to a small island where they see Rhydon coming to shore. Pietra encounters it again but Team Rocket interfere and try to take it for themselves. Ash assists in stopping them and the Rhydon jumps back into the lake. Pietra jumps into the lake after it and grabs it. Rhydon carried her under water but she still refused to let go until it battled her. Eventually the Rhydon goes on land again. She then begged it for a battle and Rhydon agreed.
She used her Marill to battle and defeat Rhydon and then captured it. She then used her newly captured Rhydon to complete the tunnel.
