While his friends casually dismiss his claim, Max sets out to find this “extinct” Pokémon and salvage his reputation. Elsewhere, Ash, May, and Brock slowly come to believe Max’s story as they meet scientists who claim they are able to revive fossils of the extinct Pokémon Cradily, Lileep, Anorith and Armaldo.  Meanwhile, armed with a very eco-unfriendly ship, Team Rocket attempts to steal these very same anachronous Pokémon.

The gang reaches [[Whales Island]]. Brock tells them it is a Preserve untouched over a millennia. May and Ash train their Bulbasaur and Pikachu. May comes to Ash with good news - Bulbasaur learned Petal Dance. Bulbasaur uses Petal Dance on the incoming waves, making a hole in them. Max gathers wood and hears something. A thing comes from the bush, going away as Max screams in fear. Ash, Brock and May come to see what happened. Max saw a giant Cradily, to which Brock finds untrue - Cradily and their pre-evolution from, Lileep, are rarely found, even as fossils, as they are extinct.

They hear something - a Breloom passes by. May thinks he saw a Breloom instead, but Max runs away to find the Cradily. Max goes away, but notices a big building near. He goes to the window and sees many computers, a lab of some sort. Inside, he finds some Lileep. A man comes, telling him that it is restricted property. As May, Brock and Ash go to find Max, they spot something behind them - the Cradily Max was talking about. A woman comes, revealing to be the one who is in charge of Cradily. She spots the gang, so introduces herself as Annie. The gang tells her they are looking for Max, so Annie tells them he must be at the lab.

The heroes sail towards [[Wales Island]]. Brock tells them it is a Preserve, untouched over a millennia. May and Ash decide to train there, thinking of it as a perfect place to exercise. After arriving to the island, May trains her Bulbasaur, while Ash has Pikachu use Thunderbolt on a log. This blows it out of the water and with Iron Tail, Pikachu cuts the log. Suddenly, May reports to Ash with good news, for her Bulbasaur learned Petal Dance. Brock comes as well and watches as Bulbasaur uses Petal Dance on the incoming waves, blowing it away. Ash and Brock are impressed, while May praises her Bulbasaur. As Max gathers wood, he hears something in the bushes. A thing comes from the bush, causing Max to scream in fear. The thing runs off, while Max drops the wood. Ash, Brock and May come to see what happened and are told Max saw a giant Cradily. Brock notes Cradily and their pre-evolution from, Lileep, are rarely found, even as fossils, as they are extinct.
   
  ⚫
Max points where it went to, but May thinks Max just saw something else. Suddenly, they hear something and find a Breloom passing by. May thinks he saw a Breloom instead, but Max promises to prove he saw a Cradily and runs away. After a while, Max finds a big building. He goes to the window and sees many computers, a lab of some sort. Inside, he finds some Lileep. A man comes, telling him the place it is restricted property. As May, Brock and Ash go to find Max, behind them, they spot the Cradily Max was talking about. A woman comes, who takes care of Cradily. Brock tries to impress the woman, who introduces herself as Annie. Brock, Ash and May tell her they are looking for Max, so Annie tells them he must be at the lab. At the lab, Annie leads Ash, Brock and May to her husband, who is told Cradily went outside. The man asks Cradily not to be wandering around like that. Annie introduces the man as her husband, Professor Proctor, making Brock sad Annie has a spouse already.
⚫
At the lab, the man spots the Cradily, telling it must not be wandering around like that. Max and May reunite. Annie introduces the man as her husband, Prof. Proctor (making Brock sad by that fact). Max points the Lileep in an exhibition. Annie tells them they were cloned from fossils. The Professor tells them it was his dream to revive those Pokémon. Team Rocket spy on them, wanting to catch them. The Professor tells them that the island was inhabited by Anortih and Lileep, and it was connected to the land. They see that Anorith and Armaldo ate some fruit from trees, which seemed a part of their diet. Next, the sea rose, so the island was formed and the Pokémon became extinct. The last step is to use the machines to bring Lileep and Anorith from the fossils to life, so it can become the amusement park.
  
   
  ⚫
Max points at the Lileep, which shocks the heroes, since they are supposed to be extinct. Annie tells the Cradily were cloned from fossils. The Professor tells the heroes it was his dream to revive those Pokémon, for he is an expert on Ancient Pokémon. Team Rocket spy on them, wanting to catch them. The Professor tells them that the island was inhabited by Anorith and Lileep, and it was connected to the land. They are certain Anorith and Armaldo ate some ancient fruit from trees, which was a part of their diet, and the seeds were seen close to the fossils as well. As the sea level rose up, the island was formed and the Pokémon became extinct. However, using the machines, they brought Lileep and Anorith from the Root and Claw Fossils to life. Professor Proctor admits he wants to open a theme park, revolving around ancient Pokémon, which is his dream. Per Annie and her husband's favor, the heroes promise to keep this as a secret.
⚫
The gang promises to keep this as a secret. Team Rocket overhears that, and as usual, Meowth makes a fantasy about his boss having Anorith and Lileep, so they go to capture them. Annie tells her husband an Anorith will evolve. Everyone sees the evolution - Anorith becomes an Armaldo. Team Rocket appears, capturing Armaldo in a net. Armaldo cuts the net and attacks them with Hydro Pump. Ash encourages Armaldo, but it starts attacking everything and runs away. As the gang goes to get it, Annie mentions it was a bit wild, although it wouldn't do something like that.

Team Rocket overhears that, and as usual, Meowth makes a fantasy about his boss having Anorith and Lileep restoring his "primal instinct" to bond with nature, so they go to capture them. Annie warns her husband an Anorith will evolve. Everyone sees Anorith, who evolves into an Armaldo. Just as Annie and her husband admire Armaldo, Team Rocket appears and capture Armaldo in a net. Armaldo cuts the net and blasts them away with Water Gun. Ash praises Armaldo, who suddenly starts attacking everything and runs away. As the heroes run after it, Max believes Team Rocket has upset Armaldo and made it furious. Annie felt it had a little bit of a wild personality, although it wouldn't do something like that. Armaldo eats some fruit, but spits them out, being disgusted. The heroes arrive to get Armaldo back, but it attacks them with Water Gun. As everyone hides behind rocks, Pikachu comes to calm Armaldo down. May sends Beautifly and Brock his Forretress to help calming Armaldo down.

Where's Armaldo? (Japanese: ドクター・モロボシの島！化石ポケモン現る！！, Hepburn: Island of Dr. Proctor! Fossil Pokémon Appear!!) is the 11th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Battle.

Synopsis

Looking for a quiet place to train, Ash and friends reach an untouched island, once inhabited by ancient Pokémon that have since become extinct. With his keen eyes, Max spots a Cradily, a Pokémon thought to be extinct, hiding in the brush—or does he? While his friends casually dismiss his claim, Max sets out to find this “extinct” Pokémon and salvage his reputation. Elsewhere, Ash, May, and Brock slowly come to believe Max’s story as they meet scientists who claim they are able to revive fossils of the extinct Pokémon Cradily, Lileep, Anorith and Armaldo.  Meanwhile, armed with a very eco-unfriendly ship, Team Rocket attempts to steal these very same anachronous Pokémon. Can our heroes transcend millennia and convince these ancient creatures to join them in the fight against Team Rocket?[1]

Episode plot

The heroes sail towards Wales Island. Brock tells them it is a Preserve, untouched over a millennia. May and Ash decide to train there, thinking of it as a perfect place to exercise. After arriving to the island, May trains her Bulbasaur, while Ash has Pikachu use Thunderbolt on a log. This blows it out of the water and with Iron Tail, Pikachu cuts the log. Suddenly, May reports to Ash with good news, for her Bulbasaur learned Petal Dance. Brock comes as well and watches as Bulbasaur uses Petal Dance on the incoming waves, blowing it away. Ash and Brock are impressed, while May praises her Bulbasaur. As Max gathers wood, he hears something in the bushes. A thing comes from the bush, causing Max to scream in fear. The thing runs off, while Max drops the wood. Ash, Brock and May come to see what happened and are told Max saw a giant Cradily. Brock notes Cradily and their pre-evolution from, Lileep, are rarely found, even as fossils, as they are extinct.

Max points where it went to, but May thinks Max just saw something else. Suddenly, they hear something and find a Breloom passing by. May thinks he saw a Breloom instead, but Max promises to prove he saw a Cradily and runs away. After a while, Max finds a big building. He goes to the window and sees many computers, a lab of some sort. Inside, he finds some Lileep. A man comes, telling him the place it is restricted property. As May, Brock and Ash go to find Max, behind them, they spot the Cradily Max was talking about. A woman comes, who takes care of Cradily. Brock tries to impress the woman, who introduces herself as Annie. Brock, Ash and May tell her they are looking for Max, so Annie tells them he must be at the lab. At the lab, Annie leads Ash, Brock and May to her husband, who is told Cradily went outside. The man asks Cradily not to be wandering around like that. Annie introduces the man as her husband, Professor Proctor, making Brock sad Annie has a spouse already.

Max points at the Lileep, which shocks the heroes, since they are supposed to be extinct. Annie tells the Cradily were cloned from fossils. The Professor tells the heroes it was his dream to revive those Pokémon, for he is an expert on Ancient Pokémon. Team Rocket spy on them, wanting to catch them. The Professor tells them that the island was inhabited by Anorith and Lileep, and it was connected to the land. They are certain Anorith and Armaldo ate some ancient fruit from trees, which was a part of their diet, and the seeds were seen close to the fossils as well.

Professor Proctor admits he wants to open a theme park, revolving around ancient Pokémon, which is his dream. Per Annie and her husband's favor, the heroes promise to keep this as a secret.
