BW067: Battling the Bully!

is the 17th episode of Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies.
==Synopsis==
Standing in front of an angry Krokorok, our heroes suddenly realize they’ve seen this Pokémon before. Krokorok rushes to challenges its main rival, Pikachu, to a battle, but their ensuing attacks cause the Pokémon to collide, sending Pikachu and Krokorok flying.
Pikachu lands in the arms of a boy named Mick, who has never seen a Pikachu before, although it seems that his friend Sean has. Mick and Sean also know a young bully named Glenn, who wants to battle the two of them. When confronted by Glenn, Sean nervously agrees to fight, but Mick leaves abruptly, saying he’ll battle them later with a powerful Pokémon like they’ve never seen before!
When our heroes find Pikachu and Mick, Mick says wistfully that he has never beaten Sean or Glenn at anything. He asks if he can use Pikachu to challenge them. Ash agrees, and our heroes help Mick with some training. Ash and Tepig battle Mick and Pikachu, giving Mick some pointers and improving his battle skills.
Meanwhile, Sean and Glenn have had a battle using Sean’s dad’s Pokémon, but Glenn wants to battle again—this time with Mick. With a bullying swagger, he demands that Sean get two more Pokémon from his dad so they can have a Double Battle. But Mick has only Pikachu.
Then who should step up but Krokorok? With Krokorok volunteering to be in Mick’s party, the battle begins. Glenn refuses to listen to Sean’s advice, and Mick wins the bout, but Glenn wants revenge. When Ash stops Sean, Glenn apologizes, and the three budding Trainers are friends again.
Krokorok still has a score to settle with Pikachu but is defeated. Krokorok sadly prepares to leave, but Ash asks Krokorok if it would like to go with him. The answer is a resounding yes, and our heroes again set their sights on Mistralton City, with Krokorok as the newest member of their family!
==Episode plot==
The Sunglasses Krokorok attacks Pikachu with Crunch, but the latter dodges. Iris remembers this Krokorok, who evolved from a Sandile. The Krokorok remembers it followed them from Nimbasa Town through Nimbasa City across Driftveil City and to Chargestone Cave. Ash, thinking Krokorok wants to battle Pikachu, tells the latter to use Iron Tail, but Krokorok use Dig. It came above ground to use Crunch, but Pikachu avoids. It uses Stone Edge next, but Pikachu uses Electro Ball to counter it, but in the collision, a blast sweeps Pikachu and Krokorok away. Pikachu rolls down a slope and falls through a tree into a boy's hands, electrocuting him. The boy thinks Pikachu is a new species of Pokémon, and a pre-evolved form of Zekrom. Pikachu simply thinks the boy should cool down.
The boy asks Pikachu to be his friend. He shows Pikachu to his fellow friends, telling he belongs to his father. One remembers this is actually Pikachu from Kanto, as he was at Saffron City to see it. The other boy proposes a battle, taking the boy's Poké Balls, even if he claims it belongs to his father. The boy leaves with Pikachu, claiming his mother calls him. As the heroes search for Pikachu, they encounter Krokorok, who is looking for him. Krokorok feels something and goes away, so the heroes follow it. The boy asks Pikachu if it is caught or wild, then asks if he knows other moves, besides Thunderbolt. Ash replies he knows Quick Attack, Iron Tail, Electro Ball, making Pikachu glad his trainer came.
The heroes introduce themselves, while the boy's name is Mick. Mick asks Ash if he can borrow Pikachu, as he wants to defeat his friends, Glenn or Sean. Cilan asks of him to explain why does he need Pikachu. Meanwhile, the two boys have a battle. Patrat uses Tackle, but Blitzle dodges. The other boy is furious, as it was a cowardly move to dodge, thinking he should've attacked back. Mick explains Glenn is the one who challenges to a battle, but he does what he wants. Iris asks if they are too young to battle, but Cilan replies these battles may be just for fun. Mick confirms that and tells when Sean got Patrat and Blitzle, Glenn took Patrat for the battle. Mick wanted to have a battle, but was brushed off to get a Pokémon of his own. Mick wondered where would he get a rare Pokémon and then Pikachu fell down on him.
Ash decides to lend Pikachu. However, Mick is told to train with Pikachu, to know him better and prepare for the battle. Krokorok volunteers to battle, while Ash reminds this is Mick's first battle. Mick orders Thunderbolt, but Pikachu questions that. Still, Pikachu uses the attack, but does not have an effect on Krokorok being part Ground-type. Pikachu uses Quick Attack, hitting Krokorok, but he and Iris remind Mick the battle is not over yet. Pikachu uses Iron Tail, but Krokorok digs, surprising Mick. Krokorok attempts to Crunch Pikachu, but the latter uses Iron Tail on it. The attack blows Krokorok's sunglasses off, making it upset, so Krokorok puts them back. It tries to use Crunch, but misses Pikachu. Ash stops Krokorok from attacking and sends Tepig.
Meanwhile, the boy, Glenn, won the matches. Sean is worried, as Patrat and Blitzle are worn out. Glenn notices that Mick is late and wonders where he is, and Sean says he doesn't think he's coming and that he bets the story about Pikachu is a fake. Glenn then decides to find and drag Mick back to the court himself, saying he's battling Pikachu, no matter what. He orders Sean to get more Pokémon, surprising him. Pikachu uses Quick Attack and clashes with Tepig's Tackle. Cilan stops the match, telling Mick he will be a great trainer one day. Ash and Iris support the claim. Ash advises Mick to battle or catch Pokémon with his heart united. Suddenly, Glenn appears, who scolds Mick and challenges him to a battle. Sean sends the Pokémon his father lent him, a Seismitoad and a Scolipede. Glenn tells it will be a Double Battle, but Sean and Mick remind him the latter has only Pikachu. However, Krokorok volunteers to join the battle.
Cilan decides to stop the match when needed. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, while Sean orders Seismitoad to intercept, as it has no effect on it since it's a Ground-type. Scolipede uses Poison Tail, but Krokorok uses Stone Edge, but the former dodges. Sean tells it could've used Protect, but Glenn yells at him to be quiet. Pikachu uses Electro Ball and Krokorok with Crunch. Scolipede uses Sludge Bomb to intercept Electro Ball and Seismitoad use Drain Punch on Krokorok, but both fail and get hit instead. Cilan cancels the match, declaring Mick the winner. Glenn gets mad at him, saying that he didn't remember telling Mick he can beat him. But Mick says he was only battling the best that he knew how. But Glenn tells him what he said is what he means, and goes to hit Mick, but Ash stops him. Sean is also tired of Glenn, and says he doesn't want to hang out with him anymore, as now his father's Pokémon are injured and he doesn't know what to do now. Cilan gives him some healing food to feed the Pokémon.
Glenn takes the food and feeds the Pokémon himself, admitting this was a fun battle. Glenn apologizes to Sean and Mick, the latter thinking they can have another battle someday. Suddenly, Krokorok bites Pikachu, so Ash pulls the former away, but gets shocked by Pikachu. Ash thinks it wants to settle things with Pikachu, being its rival. Krokorok starts with Crunch, but gets hit by Pikachu's Quick Attack. Krokorok uses Stone Edge, though Pikachu dodges, but gets encased. Krokorok uses Dig and hits Pikachu. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on the ground, creating a small hole, causing Krokorok to trip over. Pikachu uses Quick Attack, knocking Krokorok's sunglasses off. Krokorok tries to find them, while Ash explains to the boys he wants to battle fair and square, waiting for Krokorok to get its glasses back.
Krokorok puts them on and uses Crunch, but collides with Pikachu's Iron Tail. Krokorok is defeated, but stands up and leaves, saddened. Ash advises it to come with him, as it has nowhere to go and will have a good time with Ash. Krokorok agrees and let's itself be captured by Ash's Poké Ball. The boys admire Ash's new catch, while the heroes continue their journey.
