==Synopsis==
==Blurb==
With the {{jo|Silver|child}} {{p|Lugia}} now captured by [[Team Rocket]], [[Dr. Namba]] proudly stands in front of the new catch when [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] show up. They have a plan that they could use the child Lugia as a lure to capture its parent. The plan would seem almost too easy.

<i>With the young Lugia in the possession of Butch and Cassidy, Ash and friends set about rescuing it while protecting its parent from itself. The parent Lugia fights desperately to free its child—playing right into Team Rocket's hands. If Ash fails to win the Lugia's trust and convince it not to oppose Team Rocket alone, it seems this Pokemon is fated to end up in captivity along with its child.</i>
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, [[Ritchie]] and [[Oliver]] sit depressed on the shore when [[Luka]] comes. She wonders what's going on and they tell her that Team Rocket has captured the child Lugia. Luka is shocked, but they have little time to discuss a plan. The parent Lugia suddenly emerges from the sea. Soon everyone has been told about what happened to the child Lugia, which the parent Lugia doesn't respond to at first. The parent soon starts combing the area but doesn't find anything, so it goes back to the gang. Again they tell it that the child was captured but they'll do whatever it takes to get the child back. The parent becomes enraged and releases a gigantic storm and wreaks havoc across the island and the neighboring one. With this the gang seek shelter in a cave.
 
Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] still wants to find some way to bring some attention. She still frets about having the chance of taking the child Lugia away, but maybe there's something else to it. They hop out of their sub but soon gets blasted by the parent Lugia.  


After awhile in the cave, Ash decides that he is going to face Lugia and try to get it to believe them. Ritchie agrees, and goes with Ash. Luka offers to drive her boat. The three of them leave the cave and head to Lugia. However Lugia fires a beam at them, which Luka dodges easily. This continues for a while until finally it's an either now-or-never situation. Eventually, Lugia calms down and believes Ash and Ritchie when it says they'll find its child. Lugia stops the storm and flies away.  
==Plot==
With the [[Silver (Lugia)|child]] {{p|Lugia}} now captured by [[Team Rocket]], [[Dr. Namba]] proudly stands in front of the new catch as it cries. [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] show up and suggest they use the child Lugia as a lure to capture {{an|Lugia|its parent}}. Dr. Namba cackles as the plan seems almost too easy.


With that, now they have a new objective, finding Team Rocket's base. Their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} do a scout of the area but couldn't find anything, but since it's not on land, maybe it's underwater. Ash, Misty, Brock, Ritchie, and Oliver get in scuba gear and head for the ocean. They don't find much, until they notice the {{DL|Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp Submarine}} belonging to Jessie, [[James]] and {{MTR}}. They follow that to the base but as soon as they get there, the Rocket's plan soon goes into effect. The base emerges towards the surface!
Luka returns to her friends by nightfall with supplies in her arms. She notices everyone is looking sad and they inform her that Team Rocket has captured Silver. Luka is shocked, but they have little time to discuss a plan. The parent Lugia suddenly emerges from the sea as it frantically searches for its child. {{jo|Oliver}} tries to calm Lugia down, but he is too upset by the situation and begins tearing up. The parent becomes enraged and releases a gigantic storm that wreaks havoc across the island and the neighboring one. The dreadful conditions forces everyone to seek shelter in a cave. The large waves crash {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp submarine]] into a seawall, forcing the trio to abandon their vessel. The parent Lugia soon flies overhead and in a rage it {{m|Aeroblast}}s them off. Meanwhile, Dr. Namba watches the scene from the safety of his underwater base. One of the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s alerts him to the increasing surge in power, but Dr. Namba sniggers.


After the base had emerged, they release the child Lugia still in the cage and with some contraption out there for the parent to get. The gang obviously knows this is a trap and soon the parent Lugia comes by. Everyone soon sees this, the gang yelling not to get any near while running. Then they are stopped by Butch and Cassidy. Since they can't go any further, it would just be easier to attack the parent Lugia from here on to see if it would get the idea. Both {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Sparky]] go up for an attack, but the parent easily dodges it. Butch messes with a little gizmo and some headgear on their Pokémon glows orange for a while, making them aggressive. They explain that this new device not only keeps them angry, but boosts their abilities. {{p|Houndour}} does a {{m|Flamethrower}} which was significantly more powerful than before. This doesn't stop them however, the gang persists on attacking the parent but everytime Butch and Cassidy have their Pokémon retaliate.  
Luka's [[Silver Feather|Silver Wing]] continues to beam a frightening red light as Lugia continues its destruction. After a while in the cave, {{Ash}} decides that he is going to face Lugia and try to get it to believe them. [[Ritchie]] agrees, and goes with Ash. Luka offers to drive her boat and together the three head towards Lugia. However Lugia fires a beam at them, which Luka dodges easily. This continues for a while until finally it's a now-or-never situation. Eventually, Lugia calms down and believes Ash and Ritchie when they promise to find its child. Lugia stops the storm and flies away.


Butch increases the intensity of the headgear and soon their Pokémon become worse. Ash sends out {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and Ritchie sends out his {{p|Charmeleon}}, [[Zippo]]. But all it takes is one hit and no more. The gang tries to give the parent again but this time the parent Lugia decided to give them a shot with its {{m|Aeroblast}}. Although the attack misses, it knocks all of them out. The Lugia continues on and the trap activates. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is ready to put their balloon plan into action. However, Meowth accidentally pops it with his claws and it sends Team Rocket blasting off. The Rockets soon retrieve their second catch, going back underwater.
With that, now they have a new objective, finding Team Rocket's base. Their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} do a scout of the area but cannot find anything. Ritchie notices that Silver hadn't responded whatsoever, and considers that Team Rocket are likely still in the area hoping to catch the parent as well. Everyone decides an underwater search is in order. {{an|Misty}} calls on her ensemble of {{type|Water}}s and Ash sends out his {{AP|Totodile}}. Soon enough, Oliver's {{p|Lanturn}} seems to have found something, so everyone puts on their scuba gear and dives into the ocean. They don't find much, until they notice Team Rocket's Magikarp Submarine and they follow it directly to Dr. Namba's operational base.
Dr. Namba authorizes the next plan, and so the underwater base ascends to the surface. The Rocket trio, who snuck on board, find themselves sealed off and their small compartment fills with water as the entire base lifts from the seafloor. Luka spots the base surface in the horizon and is instantly alarmed by the potential threat. After the base had emerged, they place the child Lugia still in its cage and with some contraption onto the shore and wait for its parent to arrive. Luka pulls the dive party aboard and steers them to the coast. Ash, {{ashfr}} and Ritchie get off once Luka docks the vessel. Oliver is keen to go as well, but Luka demands he wait with her. Ash and the others notice the parent zeroing in on its child and they try to warn it, though [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] stand in their way. The Rocket duo send out {{p|Houndour}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}, and Cassidy activates a special headband that powers up the two Pokémon. Ash and Ritchie send their two Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to stop Lugia from falling for Team Rocket's trap. But Cassidy has Houndour aims a {{m|Flamethrower}} at the pair. Ash and Ritchie send out their own {{t|Fire}} power, {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and [[Zippo]] respectively. The group try to keep Lugia at bay, but Cassidy and Butch counter each of their attempts. Hitmontop knocks Cyndaquil and later [[Misty's Poliwhirl]] out with its enraged {{m|Triple Kick}}, while Zippo is recalled after being hit by a powerful Flamethrower. The group tries to warn the parent again, but this time Lugia lashes out at them with an Aeroblast. Lugia reaches its child and the trap activates, holding Lugia captive in a field of energy. Meanwhile, the Team Rocket trio is ready to put their surrogate Lugia balloon plan into action. However, {{MTR}} accidentally pops it with his claws and it sends the trio blasting off.  


Ash wakes up later, only to find himself, Misty, Brock and Ritchie in a cage.
Luka and Oliver watch helplessly from the boat as both child, and now parent are held captive by Team Rocket. The base soon returns to underwater. Ash wakes up later, only to find himself, Misty, {{an|Brock}} and Ritchie in a cage.

Blurb

With the young Lugia in the possession of Butch and Cassidy, Ash and friends set about rescuing it while protecting its parent from itself. The parent Lugia fights desperately to free its child—playing right into Team Rocket's hands. If Ash fails to win the Lugia's trust and convince it not to oppose Team Rocket alone, it seems this Pokemon is fated to end up in captivity along with its child.

Plot

With the child Lugia now captured by Team Rocket, Dr. Namba proudly stands in front of the new catch as it cries. Butch and Cassidy show up and suggest they use the child Lugia as a lure to capture its parent. Dr. Namba cackles as the plan seems almost too easy.

Luka returns to her friends by nightfall with supplies in her arms. She notices everyone is looking sad and they inform her that Team Rocket has captured Silver. Luka is shocked, but they have little time to discuss a plan. The parent Lugia suddenly emerges from the sea as it frantically searches for its child. Oliver tries to calm Lugia down, but he is too upset by the situation and begins tearing up. The parent becomes enraged and releases a gigantic storm that wreaks havoc across the island and the neighboring one. The dreadful conditions forces everyone to seek shelter in a cave. The large waves crash Team Rocket's Magikarp submarine into a seawall, forcing the trio to abandon their vessel. The parent Lugia soon flies overhead and in a rage it Aeroblasts them off. Meanwhile, Dr. Namba watches the scene from the safety of his underwater base. One of the Team Rocket Grunts alerts him to the increasing surge in power, but Dr. Namba sniggers.

Luka's Silver Wing continues to beam a frightening red light as Lugia continues its destruction. After a while in the cave, Ash decides that he is going to face Lugia and try to get it to believe them. Ritchie agrees, and goes with Ash. Luka offers to drive her boat and together the three head towards Lugia. However Lugia fires a beam at them, which Luka dodges easily. This continues for a while until finally it's a now-or-never situation. Eventually, Lugia calms down and believes Ash and Ritchie when they promise to find its child. Lugia stops the storm and flies away.

With that, now they have a new objective, finding Team Rocket's base. Their Pokémon do a scout of the area but cannot find anything. Ritchie notices that Silver hadn't responded whatsoever, and considers that Team Rocket are likely still in the area hoping to catch the parent as well. Everyone decides an underwater search is in order. Misty calls on her ensemble of Water-types and Ash sends out his Totodile. Soon enough, Oliver's Lanturn seems to have found something, so everyone puts on their scuba gear and dives into the ocean. They don't find much, until they notice Team Rocket's Magikarp Submarine and they follow it directly to Dr. Namba's operational base.

Dr. Namba authorizes the next plan, and so the underwater base ascends to the surface. The Rocket trio, who snuck on board, find themselves sealed off and their small compartment fills with water as the entire base lifts from the seafloor. Luka spots the base surface in the horizon and is instantly alarmed by the potential threat. After the base had emerged, they place the child Lugia still in its cage and with some contraption onto the shore and wait for its parent to arrive. Luka pulls the dive party aboard and steers them to the coast. Ash, his friends and Ritchie get off once Luka docks the vessel. Oliver is keen to go as well, but Luka demands he wait with her. Ash and the others notice the parent zeroing in on its child and they try to warn it, though Butch and Cassidy stand in their way. The Rocket duo send out Houndour and Hitmontop, and Cassidy activates a special headband that powers up the two Pokémon. Ash and Ritchie send their two Pikachu to use Thunderbolt to stop Lugia from falling for Team Rocket's trap. But Cassidy has Houndour aims a Flamethrower at the pair. Ash and Ritchie send out their own Fire power, Cyndaquil and Zippo respectively. The group try to keep Lugia at bay, but Cassidy and Butch counter each of their attempts. Hitmontop knocks Cyndaquil and later Misty's Poliwhirl out with its enraged Triple Kick, while Zippo is recalled after being hit by a powerful Flamethrower. The group tries to warn the parent again, but this time Lugia lashes out at them with an Aeroblast. Lugia reaches its child and the trap activates, holding Lugia captive in a field of energy. Meanwhile, the Team Rocket trio is ready to put their surrogate Lugia balloon plan into action. However, Meowth accidentally pops it with his claws and it sends the trio blasting off.

Luka and Oliver watch helplessly from the boat as both child, and now parent are held captive by Team Rocket. The base soon returns to underwater. Ash wakes up later, only to find himself, Misty, Brock and Ritchie in a cage.
