A Restoration Confrontation! Part 2 (Japanese: ネジ山の激闘!アバゴーラの奇跡!!(後編), HepburnThe Fierce Fighting at Twist Mountain! Carracosta's Miracle!! (Part Two)) is the 28th episode of Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies.

Synopsis[]

Ash and his friends have made their way through Twist Mountain, meeting a Pokémon archeologist named Ferris, whose Cover Fossil was stolen by Team Rocket and restored into the ancient Pokémon Tirtouga. Then Tirtouga ran away in a state of fear and confusion, and our heroes went after it, hoping to catch up to it before Team Rocket got there!

With some protection and reassurance—and a lunch of berries, adjusted to Tirtouga’s ancient taste buds by Ferris—Tirtouga finally calms down and decides to trust Ash and the others. But Team Rocket has been tracking the ancient Pokémon, intending to use its energy to open the Time Gate, the space-time warp beneath Twist Mountain. Sure enough, the villains show up to catch it—and in the ensuing battle, it evolves into Carracosta and takes off toward the Time Gate!

Team Rocket sets off in pursuit, and manages to trap Carracosta and stabilize the space-time warp, just as Dr. Zager planned! Thanks to Ferris’s boss Sierra and her impressive knowledge of the mountain, our heroes catch up just as Jessie, James, and Meowth are about to cross into the ancient world, and attempt to drive them away with a battle.

The battle doesn’t go too well for Ash and friends—but then Carracosta sounds a bellowing roar, drawing several wild Carracosta through the Time Gate to answer its call for help! These reinforcements send Team Rocket packing, and our heroes—along with Sierra and Ferris, who has confirmed that this Carracosta is the same Pokémon he befriended as a boy—have just a few minutes to experience the ancient world before they must say goodbye and escape through the Time Gate before it closes.

Finally, Sierra and Ferris guide Ash, Iris, and Cilan safely to the other side of Twist Mountain, and their journey to Icirrus City continues![1]

Episode plot[]

Pikachu's Thunderbolt and Oshawott's Water Gun counter Tirtouga's Ancient Power. Ferris tries to persuade it, but Tirtouga attacks and misses, hitting a bush, which angers some Whirlipede. Whirlipede attack, scaring Tirtouga, though Ferris takes the hit. The Whirlipede return to attack, but a vehicle appears, on which Crustle is, who uses Rock Wrecker, stopping Whirlipede. Ash and Ferris enter the car with Tirtouga, while Cilan calls Crustle back. Sierra admits she hardly believes Tirtouga has been revived from the fossil. Ferris explains Team Rocket wants to use Tirtouga to stabilize the Time Gate beneath the mountain and catch ancient Pokémon.

Tirtouga is frightened, but everyone assures they will protect it. Tirtouga is pleased, but hungry, so they go to find something to feed Tirtouga. Meanwhile, Team Rocket plans to catch Tirtouga, as James releases spy drones to detect Tirtouga's location. Cilan and Ash come and bring berries to the Pokémon. Iris gives one to Tirtouga, who thinks the berry tastes awful. Ferris comes with a different one and feeds Tirtouga. Cilan wonders why Tirtouga does not want to eat any berries, for they are tasty, even to Iris. Ferris lets them know Tirtouga lived in times where the berries had different taste, hence why it only eats specific ones. Ferris eats Tirtouga's berry and is not pleased by the taste, though Tirtouga starts recognizing him.

Dr. Zager finds Tirtouga and orders Team Rocket to catch it. As the heroes watch over Tirtouga sleeping, Sierra sees Tirtouga's pendant, though Ferris immediately puts it aside. Suddenly, Yamask uses Night Shade, hitting everyone, for Team Rocket appears. Jessie sends Woobat, who uses Gust, along with Yamask's Shadow Ball. Meowth launches the net, catching Tirtouga. However, Tirtouga evolves into Carracosta, breaking out of the net. Meowth goes to launch another net, though Carracosta foils him using Brine. Suddenly, Carracosta hears voices and runs off. The heroes follow it, but Yamask uses Haze, stopping them.

Jessie reports to Dr. Zager, who suspects the revival machine has speeded up its evolution. Furthermore, he notices the Time Gate expanding, so orders them to follow Carracosta. Carracosta comes to the mountain and uses Ancient Power to open a path, going into the mountain, though Team Rocket follow it. The heroes, Ferris and Sierra go after Carracosta, though Ferris explains Carracosta must've heard its friends through the Time Gate. Team Rocket and the heroes go after Carracosta, knowing it will have to be at the Time Gate. Carracosta notices the light at the boulders, so uses Brine to open the Time Gate, which resonates. However, Team Rocket trap Carracosta.

Dr. Zager orders them to use Carracosta to maintain the Time Gate. James releases electricity, hurting Carracosta, which also absorbs energy from it. Carracosta falls down, unconscious, though the Time Gate is fully opened. Team Rocket heads for the Time Gate, but the heroes arrive to stop them. Jessie sends Woobat and James Yamask. Cilan sends Pansage to use Bullet Seed and Ash Pikachu to attack with Thunderbolt. Woobat and Yamask dodge, then use Air Slash and Will-O'-Wisp, but Pansage and Pikachu dodge. Axew scratches the handcuffs binding Carracosta. It is freed, but Carracosta is weakened. Ferris tells Carracosta they are friends, which Carracosta remembers when Ferris spoke as a kid.

Woobat uses Gust and Yamask Shadow Ball, hitting Pikachu and Pansage. Yamask and Woobat prepare themselves for the next attack. However, Carracosta yells out, which summons more Carracosta from the Time Gate. Team Rocket is pleased, for they have more Pokémon to catch, so James throws a machine, which traps Carracosta into a force field cage. The heroes are still determined to protect Carracosta, though Yamask uses Shadow Ball and Woobat Air Slash. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Pansage Solar Beam, countering the attacks. Meowth goes to strike, though Carracosta uses Ancient Power, which neutralizes the force field, allowing the other Carracosta to be freed.

Pikachu uses Electro Ball on Team Rocket, who immediately vanish. Still, the Carracosta are safe and well. Later, everyone enters through the Time Portal, amazed how the world looks like. Sierra sees the Time Gate closing, so before they go, Ferris places the pendant back on Carracosta. They bid farewell to Carracosta and depart through the Time Portal, which closes. Dr. Zager is not pleased, thinking this was the last time it opened. Team Rocket sees their mission failed and have no reason to stay at Twist Mountain, so fly off with Dr. Zager. Sierra admits Ferris managed to prove he went back through time, but Ferris thinks that is not important, for he made a friend. Later, the heroes depart away to Icirrus City.

Trivia[]

  • Who's that Pokémon?: Carracosta (US).
  • Alike the second part of the episode "Beg, Burrow and Steal", Hal, like Ferris, managed to find the same place he did in the past. Team Rocket attempted to steal the Trapinch, like Tirtouga, but both Pokémon evolved and protected the people they met in the past from Team Rocket's clutches. In the end, Elisa, like Sierra, saw their friends spoke the truth about the story.
