BW059: The Mighty Accelguard to the Rescue!

is the 9th episode of Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies.
==Synopsis==
Ash has finally arrived in Driftveil City for his next Gym battle. However, when they meet Gym Leader Clay, he informs our heroes that he’s too busy at the moment, so Ash and friends decide to hang out until he’s ready. They meet a friendly motorcycle rider named Charles, who offers to show our heroes around town, starting with the famous Driftveil Market. Everyone there knows Charles and his Accelgor, and our heroes are treated to lots of delicious food!
When a thief targets one of the market’s shopkeepers, Ash tries to stop him, but is interrupted by the sudden arrival of a masked hero: The Mighty Accelguard! What Ash and the others don’t know—yet—is that The Mighty Accelguard is actually their new friend Charles in disguise. Charles and his Accelgor try to go after the thief, but when his motorcycle runs out of gas, it’s up to his friend Linda and her powerful Timburr to catch the crook!
Linda knows all about Charles’s secret identity, and isn’t too impressed—but Ash thinks The Mighty Accelguard is the coolest, and really wants a chance to meet his awesome Accelgor in person. Charles hints to Ash that he might want to stop by the warehouse district that evening...
It seems there’s been a rash of break-ins around the warehouse district recently, and Charles and Linda have both noticed a suspicious truck in the area. Linda goes to investigate and is confronted by the nefarious Team Vanillite, whose plan is to steal all the frozen food from the cold storage warehouses and give it to hungry wild Pokémon, thus gaining their loyalty and using their power to take over the whole Unova region!
It looks like Linda is in a bad spot—but once again it’s The Mighty Accelguard to the rescue, this time with our heroes helping out! Together, they manage to defeat Team Vanillite and drive them away, securing The Mighty Accelguard’s title as the hero of Driftveil City!
==Episode plot==
The heroes wander a bit and see Driftveil City. Ash comes to the Gym and bumps into a man. The heroes introduce themselves to Clay, the Gym Leader, who tells he has work to do and will accept Ash's challenge later. Clay tells he found a new vein and cannot spend too much time here. Ash is disappointed he cannot challenge Clay, but Cilan advises them to go to Driftveil Market. Another man appears, who offers them to take them to the Market. The man is Charles, who rides the motorcycle with his Accelgor. Charles shows them the Market. Iris seems some apples and the trader gives it to her for free, since she came with Charles, whom many recognize and make some offers. Cilan admires the Market, while Charles is pleased he can call this city home.
Suddenly, a Ducklett snatches a trader's food. The heroes and Charles track the Ducklett down. Ducklett uses Scald on Ash, burning him. Ducklett enters a thief's car. However, a hero appears, introducing himself as the Mighty Accelguard, along with an Accelgor, to defeat the thief and his Ducklett. Accelguard and Accelgor jump down, but the thief rides away. However, Accelgor uses Agility to intercept the thief, using Double Team to scare the thief. Accelguard attempts to ride away with the motorcycle, but has no gas, unamusing the heroes. However, a Timburr stops the car, while a woman orders the thief to give up. Jenny comes and thanks the woman for catching the thief.
Charles comes, thinking the Accelguard finished the job. The woman, Linda, does not believe in that, for Accelguard is not the swiftest hero known. Ash thinks Accelgor was awesome, but Linda asks Charles how come when Accelguard is around, he is nowhere to be seen. Iris and Cilan get the idea, while Linda walks away. Cilan believes despite that attitude, it seems she and Charles are friends. Suddenly, Charles and Linda notice a Vanillite truck. The truck comes into a warehouse, as the drivers tell they exported goods to Dr. Ferrari. Dr. Ferrari is pleased, for all frozen goods will be depleted from Unova. Later, the heroes thank Charles for the tour around Driftveil City. Ash would like to run into the Mighty Accelguard once more. Ash thinks Charles' Accelgor is a friend of the Accelguard, but Accelgor disclaims that fact. Charles thinks Accelguard may be seen inside the warehouse and rides off, while Ash plans to enter it.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket visit Tornadus' shrine and plan their next move. During the night, Linda checks some articles and sees each time the Vanillite truck comes, a warehouse with frozen goods gets robbed. Thinking Accelguard is a goof, she goes to investigate by herself. Ash wants to check the Accelgor, thinking Accelguard's is much cooler. Suddenly, Charles comes. Linda checks the warehouse and notices all stolen goods. Dr. Ferrari comes, so Linda recognizes him to be the one behind these thefts. She sends Timburr, who uses Focus Punch. However, the drivers' Vanillite use Blizzard, which freeze it. Linda gets binded and imprisoned, asking Charles for help, which Charles feels. Charles visits Linda's office and finds it strange she has gone so early. He logs on her computer and sees the articles on the truck, so he suspects she is in danger.
Dr. Ferrari explains he will take all warehouses and store frozen goods. Once done, he will give them to wild Pokémon, befriending them, who will help him in taking the Unova region. The heroes and Charles appear to stop the scheme. Vanillite uses Ice Beam, making Iris scared, causing the ground to be frozen. Ash sends Tepig, who melts the ice. Pikachu goes to attack, but Oshawott comes out, who slips on the ice onto Dr. Ferrari, who drops the remote and breaks it. Dr. Ferrari and his drivers escape, allowing Charles to unite Linda. Linda tells Charles this is his chance. Charles sees she found him out. Ash does not know what they are talking about, so Iris tells him Charles is Accelguard. Charles' Accelgor helps his master dress in the costume. Accelguard goes on his motorbike and rides off to chase the villains.
Charles intercepts Dr. Ferrari and his drivers. Linda rides the heroes in her vehicle and come to the scene. Ash sees Charles, while Dr. Ferrari disguises himself as Cryogonal Man and sends Vanillish. Linda sends Timburr, while Ash his Pikachu. Vanillish uses Icy Wind, while Accelgor uses Agility, combined with Double Team. Vanillish uses Icicle Spear, which hits Accelguard instead of Accelgor. Vanillish use Blizzard on Pikachu and Timburr, the latter using Protect. Vanillish uses Ice Beam, but gets countered and hit by Thunderbolt. Timburr uses Focus Punch, defeating both Vanillish. Vanillite uses Sheer Cold, countered by Accelgor's Struggle Bug. Using Swift, Vanillish is defeated.
Accelguard jumps and kicks the Cryogonal Man, who tells Team Vanillite will return and faints. Accelguard wonders why Dr. Ferrari does not have Cryogonal, while Dr. Ferrari replies he did not have the strength to catch one, unamusing everyone. Accelguard hears Jenny's car and rides away. Linda knows even if he needs help, he is their hero. Meanwhile, the Tornadus' shrine is desecrated.
