68: To Master the Onixpected
|
|
They head up to a mountain where they stop for muskrat meatballs where an elderly lady has been getting them stolen. They find Team Rocket, and get the meatballs back.
The group then head further up the mountain to discover a large trail left by a giant Onix. They escape thanks to Master Bruno. They start to follow him up the mountain, and ask him to help train Ash. Bruno - one of the legendary Elite Four - abuses his position of power to make Brock and Ash his personal slaves, while Brock hero worships his idol (who bears a passing resemblance to both him and Ash? Part of the Oak family, perhaps?) who is far from the zen master they believe him to be.
He tricks them into helping him prepare dinner.
Bruno eating with chopsticks he made Ash make for him telling them when going into the mountains to "always bring a fork!"
Yeah, sure!
They ask him the secret of Pokémon training, then he tells them that it's simply to catch the most powerful Pokémon. Brock's image of Master Bruno is shattered.
They hear a noise, it is Team Rocket trying to catch a giant Onix and James informs Jesse that he's been shooting skeet since he was a tot.
This guy is a true upper class toff sometimes, isn't he? (skeet is like clay pigeons, I guess you'd say).
The Onix drives Team Rocket into a cave. The group see it and try to save Team Rocket, but Team Rocket does not get a break and are flung into the air by the Onix. Ash falls into the area where Onix is. Pikachu dives to protect him, but electric attacks are no good against the Onix.
Master Bruno jumps in to save them. He eventually discovers that the Onix was so violent because it had a Sandslash stuck in between one of the rocks of it's body. Master Bruno is off, and the group continue away from the mountain.
