<section begin="Synopsis"/>''While heading toward Sunyshore City and Ash's next Gym Battle, our heroes get lost in a dark forest. They come across a mischievous Murkrow that creates what turn out to be fearful illusions. That Murkrow happens to be in the care of a Trainer named Mitchell, who has a sister named Rhyanna. Mitchell and Rhyanna haven't been speaking to each other since Mitchell took off into the mountains to train with his Murkrow—with the goal of finally beating his sis in battle. Now Rhyanna wants to find a Dusk Stone so she can evolve her Misdreavus into a Mismagius. She hopes the evolved Pokémon will help her brother become happy again. However, the angry Mitchell thinks Rhyanna's purpose is to keep winning battles against him!''<section end="Synopsis"/>
As the heroes get lost in a forest (as they continue their path to Sunyshore City), they encounter a Murkrow. The Murkrow flies over, making brock to believe something bad happenes when a Murkrow flies over at night. Ash does not believe it, as the night has not yet come. Suddenly, the earth shakes, as a huge monster appears and the gang runs away. Even if they have ran away, they get swept by a wave. As they wake up, they see a woman, who explains it was an illusion caused by Murkrow's Confuse Ray.
 
   
  +
''That brings us to Team Rocket. Of course, their eyes are on getting themselves a Mismagius and a Dusk Stone, too—and what better way than to steal Rhyanna's Pokémon? With Brock's help, Rhyanna has found a Dusk Stone, which goes to the top of Team Rocket's must-steal list, along with Rhyanna's Misdreavus. But, even with Team Rocket's latest invention, the "Porta-Pidgey Mark Two" robot, the would-be thieves aren't able to hold onto Rhyanna's Misdreavus or the Dusk Stone.''
After Brock gets stabbed by Croagunk for flirting, the heroes introduce themselves, while the woman is Rhyanna. Brock asks how does she know it was an illusion, so Rhyanna tells them Murkrow is her brother's Pokémon. She explaines that she and her brother fought in a battle and one day, Mitchell decided to go train with Murkrow, avoiding her sister and playing pranks on any travelers. She thinks if her Misdreavus were to evolve in Mismagius using the Dusk Stone (which she needs to find), it could be enough to bring joy to her brother so they could apologise to each other. Brock gladly offers help, which makes Rhyanna very happy about it.
 
   
  +
''Finally, Rhyanna and Mitchell discuss their issues and make up, happily deciding that the winner of the best of 10 battles between them gets to keep the prized Dusk Stone. And, happy in the knowledge that they helped to reunite the quarreling siblings, our heroes resume their journey toward Sunyshore City.''<ref>{{Cite|url = https://www.pokemon.com/us/animation/seasons/12/episode-43-try-for-the-family-stone/|entry = Try for the Family Stone! {{!}} Pokémon TV (pokemon.com)|title = The Official Pokémon Website {{!}} Pokemon.com|access-date = {{MDY|2|1|2024}}}}</ref>
Team Rocket overheard this story and Jessie decides to get that Dusk Stone and picks some rocks. While Meowth and James tell her those are not Dusk Stones, James pulls out some rods. While Jessie and Meowth doubt that will get them the stones, James explains that it will search for minerals, which should get them the stone they need and begins to search. Meanwhile, the gang came to a shrine, where near it might be some Dusk Stones left. They split up, so Brock asks of Rhyanna to send Misdreavus to search for Dusk Stone as well. When she sends Misdreavus out, it goes immediately to search.
 
   
 
==Episode plot==
Ash and Dawn search for the Stone as well. A Murkrow comes and pecks Piplup, so Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, which electrocutes Murkrow. However, a boy, which Dawn and Ash recoginze as Mitchell, comes. Ash and Dawn demand to know why is he pulling pranks, but Mitchell does not want to say. Mitchell tells them his sister does not care about him, but is told that she is looking for a way to make him happy. Jessie and Meowth follow James, whose rods sense some minerals. Though they fall down the cliff, they soon spot a cave and search around it. Meowth believes if they were to find the stone, they could evolve a Misdreavus to Mismagius to keep the boss happy. Though Jessie recalls they need to catch a Misdreavus, they soon encounter one and also Brock and Rhyanna sliding down the cliff.

On their way to Sunnyshore City, the appearance of a Murkrow marks a bad omen for the group. While Ash isn't very superstitious, the appearance of a Giratina catches the group completely off-guard. They run, attempting to escape, but are swept away in a flood of rushing water. They're rescued by Rhyanna who explains that what they're seeing is the effects of a Pokemon's attack. She confesses that her brother, Mitchell, is training in the mountains and has been playing pranks on other travelers with her Pokemon. She explains how she is here to find a Dusk Stone to evolve her Misdreavus into a Mismagius hoping that she can cast a happiness spell over her brother to bring him home. Elsewhere, Team Rocket, eavesdropping on the conversation, reveal their dowsing rods which they'll use to find a Dusk Stone first. Coming to a shrine, Ryhanna tells them that this is where they can find Dusk Stones. Splitting up, they begin to search until Ash and Dawn encounter Mitchell who is attempting to attack them. Defending themselves, they knock out Mitchell's pokemon. Dawn begins to explain what's going on to him which brings him pause. Team Rocket meanwhile falls off a cliff on their hunt for a Dusk Stone. They would consider what they would do with such a stone, and Meowth suggests turning a Misdreavus into a Mismagius, though first they must find a Misdreavous. That is when they begin to target Rhyanna's Misdreavus. As Mitchell attempts to run, he is stopped by Ash and it is revealed that Mitchell has lost control of his Murkrow due to mistreating it while training it. He says he wants to find the Dusk Stone for himself and steal it so that he can finally beat his sister, but Ash and Dawn cause him to realize that the only path to victory is through understanding his Pokemon. It is then that Mitchell apologizes to his Pokemon and makes up with it. Ryhanna and Brock continue to follow her Misdreavus until they find a large rock. Leveraging the rock to roll over, they find a dusk stone. But before it can be used, Team Rocket appears to take it from them, along with Misdreavus. Brock and Ryhanna fight Team Rocket, and eventually Ash, Dawn and Mitchell show up to help out. They manage to break Misdreavus free and send Rocket Blasting off. Rhyanna and Mitchel then make up and proceed to hold pokemon battle matches to see who will win the Dusk Stone.

Ash stops Mitchell from running away. Mitchell explaines that he wants to find the Dusk Stone before his sister does, as Rhyanna always defeats him in battle. He went to train, but Murkrow got angry and started causing illusions using Confuse Ray. He blames his sister for all the trouble, but Ash and Dawn disagree and respond he should think of Murkrow first, not himself. Hearing this, Mitchell regrets what he did. Brock, Rhyanna and Misdreavus came near the mine, while Team Rocket hide in a bush. Misdreavus is focused upon a rock and upon getting the rock away, they see the Dusk Stone, so Rhyanna hugs Brock, making him blush. Suddenly, the Misdreavus gets caught by Team Rocket. Though Misdreavus struggles to get out, it gets electrocuted. Brock sends Sudowoodo to get Misdreavus, though Meowth pushes a button.

Ash, Dawn and Mitchell soon see a giant Pidgey, which comes to Team Rocket. Sudowoodo uses Double Edge to attack the machine, though Meowth releases a giant fan which canceles the attack. Sudowoodo repeats again, but gets swept by Sand Attack from the robot. Meowth releases the wing, which knocks Sudowoodo out, so Brock calls it back. Rhyanna struggles to get the Dusk Stone, but Team Rocket goes up. Ash, Dawn and Mitchell come and see the trouble. Ash sends Staraptor to get Rhyanna and Misdreavus out, so Mitchell sends Murkrow and with some presuasion, Murkrow goes with Staraptor. While Staraptor gets Rhyanna, Murkrow pecks the robot arm, freeing Rhyanna. MUrkrow also shatters the glass, which frees Misdreavus. With a Thunderbolt, Pikachu blasts Team Rocket away.
 
 
Rhyanna and Miitchell apologise to each other and bet that who wins the most battles out of 10 gets the Dusk Stone. With that settled, Ash tells Pikachu they need to train for the next Gym Battle.

Try for the Family Stone! (Japanese: ムウマとヤミカラスとやみのいし!, HepburnMisdreavus, Murkrow and the Dark Stone!) is the 44th episode of Pokémon: DP Galactic Battles.

Synopsis

While heading toward Sunyshore City and Ash's next Gym Battle, our heroes get lost in a dark forest. They come across a mischievous Murkrow that creates what turn out to be fearful illusions. That Murkrow happens to be in the care of a Trainer named Mitchell, who has a sister named Rhyanna. Mitchell and Rhyanna haven't been speaking to each other since Mitchell took off into the mountains to train with his Murkrow—with the goal of finally beating his sis in battle. Now Rhyanna wants to find a Dusk Stone so she can evolve her Misdreavus into a Mismagius. She hopes the evolved Pokémon will help her brother become happy again. However, the angry Mitchell thinks Rhyanna's purpose is to keep winning battles against him!

That brings us to Team Rocket. Of course, their eyes are on getting themselves a Mismagius and a Dusk Stone, too—and what better way than to steal Rhyanna's Pokémon? With Brock's help, Rhyanna has found a Dusk Stone, which goes to the top of Team Rocket's must-steal list, along with Rhyanna's Misdreavus. But, even with Team Rocket's latest invention, the "Porta-Pidgey Mark Two" robot, the would-be thieves aren't able to hold onto Rhyanna's Misdreavus or the Dusk Stone.

Finally, Rhyanna and Mitchell discuss their issues and make up, happily deciding that the winner of the best of 10 battles between them gets to keep the prized Dusk Stone. And, happy in the knowledge that they helped to reunite the quarreling siblings, our heroes resume their journey toward Sunyshore City.[1]

Episode plot

On their way to Sunnyshore City, the appearance of a Murkrow marks a bad omen for the group. While Ash isn't very superstitious, the appearance of a Giratina catches the group completely off-guard. They run, attempting to escape, but are swept away in a flood of rushing water. They're rescued by Rhyanna who explains that what they're seeing is the effects of a Pokemon's attack. She confesses that her brother, Mitchell, is training in the mountains and has been playing pranks on other travelers with her Pokemon. She explains how she is here to find a Dusk Stone to evolve her Misdreavus into a Mismagius hoping that she can cast a happiness spell over her brother to bring him home. Elsewhere, Team Rocket, eavesdropping on the conversation, reveal their dowsing rods which they'll use to find a Dusk Stone first. Coming to a shrine, Ryhanna tells them that this is where they can find Dusk Stones. Splitting up, they begin to search until Ash and Dawn encounter Mitchell who is attempting to attack them. Defending themselves, they knock out Mitchell's pokemon. Dawn begins to explain what's going on to him which brings him pause. Team Rocket meanwhile falls off a cliff on their hunt for a Dusk Stone. They would consider what they would do with such a stone, and Meowth suggests turning a Misdreavus into a Mismagius, though first they must find a Misdreavous. That is when they begin to target Rhyanna's Misdreavus. As Mitchell attempts to run, he is stopped by Ash and it is revealed that Mitchell has lost control of his Murkrow due to mistreating it while training it. He says he wants to find the Dusk Stone for himself and steal it so that he can finally beat his sister, but Ash and Dawn cause him to realize that the only path to victory is through understanding his Pokemon. It is then that Mitchell apologizes to his Pokemon and makes up with it. Ryhanna and Brock continue to follow her Misdreavus until they find a large rock.
