BW091: Iris and the Rogue Dragonite!

is the 41st episode of Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies.
==Synopsis==
A fierce aerial battle is taking place between a Hydreigon and a Dragonite! Their battle disturbs a flock of Pidove, who get caught in the crossfire when they try to scatter. Dragonite tries to protect the flock—but that leaves the Pokémon open to Hydreigon’s attack, which smashes it into the ground! Dragonite attempts to fly away, but its wing was injured in the fall, and it crashes into a power plant, damaging some equipment.
Meanwhile, as our heroes prepare for another day of training at Cynthia’s house, the power suddenly goes out. Officer Jenny stops by to ask Cynthia for help, but she’s out of town, so the officer fills our heroes in on what she thinks is happening: a rogue Dragonite has attacked the power plant, knocking out the electricity! This doesn’t sound right to Iris, and she’s determined to go check it out for herself.
When our heroes arrive at the power plant, they discover that Dragonite has sealed itself inside, so Iris, Ash, and Dawn wriggle through the air ducts to reach it. The injured Dragonite is not at all happy to be disturbed, and when Iris becomes trapped in the room with it, Officer Jenny decides she needs backup. She recruits three powerful Trainers to help her catch the rogue Dragonite. But inside, Iris manages to communicate with the injured Pokémon, and discovers that its “attack” on the power plant was just an accident! She calls to Ash and Cilan to find some proof of Dragonite’s innocence.
Officer Jenny and her new recruits manage to break through the barrier and confront Dragonite! Iris pleads with them not to hurt her new friend, and when that doesn’t work, she puts herself between Dragonite and the others to protect it. It’s a standoff for the moment, until Ash and Cilan arrive with the proof they’ve been looking for: a surveillance camera’s recording of Dragonite protecting the Pidove flock and being injured in the process.
Officer Jenny says she won’t be pressing charges, and after Dragonite recovers at the Pokémon Center, it’s free to go. Our heroes are thrilled, and Dragonite starts to fly away...and then reconsiders. To Iris’s great delight, it turns around and comes back to her—and the aspiring Dragon Master finally has a second Dragon-type Pokémon on her team!
Meanwhile, it seems Team Rocket have found what they’ve been looking for, and they eagerly await the Boss’s reaction...
==Episode plot==
A Hydreigon is being chased by a Dragonite, who uses Flamethrower. Hydreigon dodges and retaliates, but misses. It goes after Dragonite and clashes with it, causing a blast. This scares many Pidove, who flee. Dragonite is distracted by them and is hit by the Pokémon, causing Dragonite to fall into the river. Dragonite tries to follow it, but its wing is hurt and crashes down to a power plant. The alarm is triggered and Magnemite soon surround it. Meanwhile, Dawn is fixing her hair and Iris asks why does she do this routine every single day. Dawn replies a Coordinator needs to look best every moment. Ash invites them for breakfast, but suddenly Dawn's fan stops working. Cilan and Jervis report the power is out.
Jenny comes to them and reports the power outage is being caused by a Dragonite. Jenny reports this rouge Dragonite is being held by the Magnemite and she was hoping Cynthia could catch it, who is actually in Lacumosa Town. Jenny leaves, while Jervis reports this Dragonite has been challenging many Pokémon around the area, even if they are much stronger and tougher than itself. Jervis reports the Pokémon and the properties were damaged, so they are worried of more attacks. Iris does not believe that, knowing Dragonite has a reason and is not a bad Pokémon. Iris leaves to find Dragonite, as her friends do as well. The Magnemite electrocute Dragonite, who attacks back and leaves. Dragonite flies to a room, uses Thunder Punch to trash some machines and places them at the door. Using Ice Beam, it barricades itself, though still feels the wing pain.
Since the way is blocked, the workers point at the air vent, but Jenny replies they aren't small enough to fit in, except Magnemite. The heroes appear and Iris wants to talk to Dragonite, knowing it is not a bad Pokémon. Ash has faith in her, for she wants to become a Dragon Master. Jenny allows them this, but before they do, she gives Ash the Poké Ball to catch Dragonite if talking fails. Ash declines, having hope in Iris to resolve this. They go through the air vent, except Cilan, who is too big for it and stays out. Iris claims she specializes in Dragons, so she will know of Dragonite's intentions. She tells Dawn to be a Dragon Master she needs to train hard, as do Coordinators. They reach the end and soon spot Dragonite is asleep, though its wing is hurt.
They descend down and Iris examines the wound. Dragonite wakes up, but Ash tells they came here to talk. Iris wants to understand why Dragonite is here, but Dragonite does not listen and uses Flamethrower. Ash sends Oshawott, whose Hydro Pump, along with Piplup's Bubblebeam, counters the attack. Dragonite uses Thunder Punch, but Oshawott and Piplup dodge. Dragonite uses Flamethrower, burning a hole in the wall. Iris tries to calm it down, but Dragonite does not listen. Meloetta appears and sings her song to calm Dragonite down. Seeing Dragonite is too wounded, Ash, Iris and Dawn go to Officer Jenny to get the Poké Ball. However, Dragonite falls down and uses Flamethrower by accident, causing rubble to fall down and block off the exit, leaving Iris, Piplup and Oshawott with Dragonite.
Ash and Dawn report the incident. Ash asks them to heal Dragonite, but Jenny refuses, since they can't allow Dragonite to go on another rampage, for she aims to defeat Dragonite. Iris admits she can't deny Dragonite is rouge, but wants to know the reason why it came here. Piplup uses Bubblebeam and Oshawott Razor Shell to get out, but nothing happens. Ash tells Iris, through the wall, Jenny will send trainers to catch Dragonite by force. Iris is shocked and touches Dragonite, then senses what happened; it wanted to protect Pidove from a rampaging Pokémon and accidentally knocked off a power plant machine. Ash reports that to Iris and Dawn, who see they need to find a proof of this to Jenny.
Dawn worries that people may not listen. They go into the woods and see something smashed into a cliff and find a camera. Jenny came to the power plant with the trainers and sends Ferrothorn, along with the trainers' Garbodor, Darmanitan, Gurdurr and Magmortar, as they plan to get in by force. As Iris tends to Dragonite, Gurdurr crashes in the ice-sealed entrance and Darmanitan removes the machines blocking the path via Superpower. Iris claims to them Dragonite accidentally crashed in. However, Dragonite stands up, knocking Iris away and uses Flamethrower. The Pokémon use Flash Cannon, Gunk Shot, Flamethrower, Stone Edge and Hyper Beam, negating Dragonite's attacks. Iris tries to reason with the trainers and Jenny, who tells Dragonite cannot be allowed to roam free, for it can cause more damage.
Iris stands guard, claiming they need to attack her if they want to attack Dragonite. She claims there are no bad Dragon-type Pokémon and replies it didn't mean to damage the power plant. Ash, Dawn and Cilan come, showing Jenny the video from the camera Dragonite was injured trying to protect Pidove. Jenny realizes this is the truth. Iris asks Dragonite to come along, who falls down, unconscious. Later, Nurse Joy heals Dragonite, while Jenny reports the damage was fixed. She also claims they'll overlook what happened today, as it was all an accident. Later, Iris remarks Dragonite was brave to protect Pidove and asks it to leave. Dragonite flies off, but stops and thinks a bit. Cilan feels Dragonite wants to go with Iris. Dragonite roars, so Iris throws the Poké Ball at Dragonite, who allows itself to be captured.
Dawn shouts, seeing how it is to be a Dragon Master. Ash realizes they need to train harder for the Cup, with Iris having a Dragonite. Elsewhere, Team Rocket found a shrine and aim the boss himself will be pleased, allowing the organization to gain the power as it should.
