Satoshi and his group are on their way through a deep valley to Kannagi Town,
where the next Pokémon Contest will be held.
We'll arrive at the city as soon as we are out of this valley.
Yeah!
What a huge cliff!
Huh, aren't those...?
Aren't those Pokémon Koducks?
Yeah.
Koduck, the Duck Pokémon!
If its usual headache worsens, it will begin to exhibit strange powers.
I'm sorry, but will you let us continue down the road?
I-Isn't this the attack Confusion?!
Why are they attacking us?!
We just want to get through.
Then I'll just force my way through!
Let's go, Pikachu!
Are you okay?
Those Koducks are really blocking the road.
What are they doing?

The Koducks' Roadblock!
The Koducks Roadblock!
If we can't continue on this road, we'll have to go back and take the longer route.
What?! That far?! That'll take days!
No! We're going to get through!
Thinking you can stop us... well, I have a plan too!
Naetle, I choose you!
Naetle, Razor Leaf!
Naetle, Bite!
Naetle, are you all right?
All right, Naetle, return!
Eh. Leave it to me?
What is Pochama trying to do?
Is he negotiating?
Negotiating?
What are you doing to Pochama?!
Bubble Beam!
Pochama, Whirlpool!
Pochama, are you okay? Take a rest for a while.
Greggle, come!
Poison Sting!
Greggle, use Poison Jab!
Ah! Greggle!
Hikozaru, I choose you!
Flamethrower!
Hikozaru, are you all right?
These Koducks are too strong!
Come back, Hikozaru!
Hey!
Team Rocket!
We were watching you guys, but...
It seems you guys are just stuck with three Koducks.
You guys are so lame!
What do you want then?
I was thinking of showing you all a way to get through.
Is it even possible?
There's no such word as "impossible" in Team Rocket's dictionary!
Don't you mean "possible"?
Just watch.
Nyarth, please show them.
Everything is depending on you.
I know that! Count on me, Nyarth the Negotiator!
We both seem to be having a long, hard day...
I don't know why you are doing this... but all I need is some help.
We see that you three are really strong, so...
We thought you could do something for us.
How is that negotiating?
Don't ask me...
Will it work?
Don't ask me...
With your power, we want you to beat up the Twerp and his Pikachu.
If you accept, I'll give you a bunch of food.
It's not a bad deal, is it?
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
As soon as...
We appear...
Things suddenly...
Go bad?!
I wonder what they were here for.
Dunno.
Jeez. What a powerful trio of Koducks!
But let's change our battle-plan and instead try and catch those Koducks...
And present them to the Boss! Then we might become managers of the Team Rocket HQ!
Let's start making a plan to catch those Koducks.
All right!
Pinpuku, is it possible to move these Koducks away with your strength?
All right! Go, Pinpuku!
Ah, Pinpuku!
Wow, not bad.
Pinpuku, are you all right?
Urimoo, it's your turn! Come on out!
Use Dig!
It'll work by attacking from underground.
I see.
Urimoo!
Urimoo, are you all right?
What can we do?
There should be a reason to why the Koducks are working so hard.
Hey, what if there is something on the other side?
Maybe.
I'll go look.
How?
From up there, I'll go and check out the other side by riding on Glion.
Are you sure?
No problem.
I might find something if I go.
Glion, I choose you!
How 'bout it, Glion? Can you fly me all the way over there?
I see... there's no wind.
All right, Mukubird, I choose you!
Mukubird, please blow some wind towards us when I give the signal.
Satoshi, be careful.
What's this? What's with the getup?
While Satoshi is trying to fly over, I'll get the Koducks' attention so they won't notice him.
Hey, hurry up!
Eh, wait!
L-A-D-Y!
Hey, Hikari.
Do I have to do it too?
Of course.
Mukubird, I'm counting on you.
Glion, go.
All right! We got into the current successfully.
L-A-D-Y!
Cross this road, Glion!
It worked!
Glion, not yet!
Mukubird, please give us some more wind.
Glion, change direction.
Change direction!
Ouch! Ouch! Get away from there!
Glion, why can't you fly straight?
Pikachu, are you okay?
Glion, please work on improving your flying.
You can just improve little-by-little.
Come back, Glion!
There should be a reason why the Koducks are working really hard in here.
There are Koducks here too!
What are they all doing?
Those Koducks are holding eggs.
I see. The roadblock is meant to protect the eggs.
L-A-D-Y!
So la-la-la, how beautiful!
Lalala la-la-la, the sound of the world!
When are you going to stop?
La-la-la, it is...
The Koducks are bored and aren't watching you anymore.
La-la-la, it is...
Eh?
Fly upwards! Glion, up!
Not that way. Glion! Oh no! Watch out!
Are you all right?
Yup.
The Koducks are holding eggs?
That's right. They're trying to keep their eggs warm without moving.
I see. It's an important time for them, so they don't want any humans to get close.
That's why they are blocking the road.
We might be able to cross over if we tell them we won't do anything.
How?
Umm...
What?!
Hearing a voice of what or whatever...
Coming at the speed of light!
Wind!
Earth!
Sky!
Bringing danger to the world!
Let space know the crisis!
If the devil hears our name...
The determination of everyone will be shaking!
Musashi!
Kojiro!
Nyarth!
This generation is our spot!
We're the infinite...
Team Rocket!
What do you want?
We'll be taking the Koducks.
Stop!
Those Koducks are protecting their group.
Yes!
Mukubird, Arial Ace!
Arial Ace Counter!
Greggle, Poison Jab!
Poison Jab Counter!
Are you all right, Koducks?
Go, Megayanma!
You too, Maskippa.
It's that way!
Megayanma, Sonic Boom!
Mimirol, Ice Beam!
Maskippa, Bullet Seed!
Hikozaru, Flamethrower!
All right, Greggle! Brick Break!
Hikozaru, Flamewheel!
We don't get to appear that much–
–today!
Stop it!
I wish this would stop!
Thanks, Koducks. You all really helped.
Koducks, we're not your enemy.
Will you let us cross this road?
What is it?
All right, let's go!
There are tiny Koducks!
How cute!
The egg is...
Shining!
It's a birth of baby Koducks.
The Koducks, which were just born, are already holding their heads.
That's natural for Koducks.
No! No! We're your friends.
All right, I'll make Pokémon food for the baby Koducks.
I see. Then they'll trust us.
Here. Eat this.
The Pokémon food Takeshi made is so delicious.
Isn't it?
Let the baby Koducks eat too.
Takeshi, these Koducks have been working hard for the eggs to hatch.
They should be hungry.
Oh, that's right!
See, they were all hungry.
Those Koducks are small, so aren't they "Ko Koducks"?
Kind of.
"Ko Koducks," huh?
But isn't it weird?
What is?
If there are so many Koducks living here, isn't this lake a bit small for them to live?
Ah, I see.
It is.
According to the map, there's the Koducks's lake.
Then why don't they live there?
Did something happen to the Koducks's lake?
I guess something did happen.
Let's go look.
So here it is.
This lake has a much better atmosphere to it.
There's enough space to live and get food, so why are they in that other lake?
It's Betobeton!
Betobeton?
Betobeton! The Sludge Pokémon!
Poison flows throughout its body.
Eh?!
It's a Sludge attack!
What aggressive Betobeton!
Their lake was taken away by the Betobeton!
Buoysel, I choose you!
Go, Eteboth!
Go, Greggle!
Buoysel, Aqua Jet!
It's a Force Punch!
Eteboth, Double Team!
Double Hit!
Dodge, Greggle!
Brick Break!
Buoysel, Sonic Boom!
Eteboth, Swift!
Greggle, Poison Sting!
Pikachu! Go! Thunderbolt!
The Betobeton are gone now.
You'll be able to live here safely.
Now there's no need for the roadblock.
Nope!
Everyone, be friendly to each other at all times.
Satoshi and the gang, who have now reclaimed the Koducks' lake from Betobeton,
continue their journey towards Kannagi Town!
