DP058: Nosing 'Round the Mountain!

is the 6th episode of Pokémon: DP Battle Dimension.
==Synopsis==
On Mt. Coronet, Ash and Turtwig are battling Alan, an energetic Trainer with a Nosepass. The only place Nosepass can evolve into Probopass is Mt. Coronet, so Alan is eager to have all the battles he can. Sure enough, Nosepass evolves during the heated battle, but Alan's delight is short-lived: a strange device lands on Probopass's head and causes it to act strangely, even turning against Alan! It's all the work of Team Rocket and their new Probopass Power Mind Manipulator antenna, which they use to control Probopass so they can steal it and run away.
Alan is heartbroken, but Ash and his friends promise to help him rescue Probopass. They track Team Rocket to the bank of the river, and Ash sends Buizel to cross the river and steal the antenna remote control. When Buizel is spotted, a fight breaks out that damages the remote control! As Probopass runs away, so Alan leaps on its back and tries to bring it back to its senses. He even has Pikachu shock them with Thunderbolt, but nothing works.
Finally, Alan asks our heroes to knock him and Probopass into a lake, where he finally manages to pry the antenna off and restore Probopass to normal. But back on shore, Team Rocket has snared Ash and his friends in a net. When Alan, Probopass, and Buizel surface, Buizel cuts everyone free with Sonic Boom and Probopass helps our heroes defeat Team Rocket. With that done, Alan and Ash resume their battle!
== Episode plot==
Ash battles Alan, using his Turtwig to battle a Nosepass. Nosepass uses Zap Cannon, but Turtwig evades. Nosepass uses Zap Cannon, but Turtwig dodges and charges. However, Turtwig passes Nosepass, so Nosepass goes after it. Nosepass still misses firing a Zap Cannon. One attack does affect Turtwig, but it manages to go on a safe zone. Alan now stops the battle, as he plans to evolve Nosepass to Probopass, which requires Nosepass to be under the zone where it is able to evolve, as it cannot evolve elsewhere. So, they continue their battle.
Nosepass uses Rock Slide, using a rock and making it fall down on Turtwig, but it manages to evade. Turtwig tackles Nosepass, so Nosepass does the same to Turtwig. Turtwig and Nosepass tackle each other. Suddenly, Nosepass evolves to Probopass. Ash still wants to end the battle, but something came on Probopass' head and the mini-noses go up and attack Alan. Team Rocket, after failing to give Machoke and Machamp to the boss, begin to create a new plan to control the mini-noses. Alan tells what they worked on, but Ash falls down on him to prevent damage. The ground shakes and cracks, and Team Rocket departs with Probopass. Alan recalls his memories with Nosepass and now it is stolen. The heroes tell him to remember the burning spirit, making him confident once more.
Team Rocket is elsewhere - Jessie lounges, while Meowth and James set the antennae for more Probopass to be captured. James complains how Jessie does not work, but Meowth reminds him they could conquer the world... so James works faster. The heroes search and Brock reminds them the antenna and the remote control need to be smashed. He spots that the compass' needle moved, so Probopass is near. They spot more antennae are being made, so Alan goes to get them. Brock stops him, as it would be dangerous and instead, Ash sends Buizel. While Meowth sees the Probopass and thinks how it could be used for the boss, Buizel splashes him and hides back in the water. Buizel splashes Jessie, who is angry and thinks her teammates did it. Meanwhile, Buizel drops the remote control, but gets detected.
Buizel goes back, but gets confused by Dustox's Psybeam. Wobbuffet pulls the remote control, but this causes Probopass to act. Alan goes to get it, while Ash sends Staravia, who pushes the control away. Ash goes to get the control, but falls in the river, as Dustox used Whirlwind. The remote control explodes on Probopass' antenna, causing frenzy - the mini-noses destroy the antennae and the remote controls, then blasts Team Rocket off with Zap Cannon. Probopass goes to attack everything, so to prevent recklessness, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Probopass re-gains control... for a moment, as it uses Zap Cannon, attacking everything.
The heroes go after Probopass. Buizel's Water Gun slows it down, as Alan charges and goes to get the antenna off. Despite the warnings, Alan orders Ash that Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, so he does that, electrocuting them both. This did not work, so he pleads again. Dawn sends Pachirisu as support. With Alan's signal, Buizel uses Water Gun, Pikachu Thunderbolt and Pachirisu Discharge to hit both of them. Alan and Probopass fall from the cliff in a lake. Still, Alan manages to take the antenna off. Buizel goes in the lake, while the heroes go take care of Team Rocket. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but Meowth throws a net, which prevents electricity from attacking them, while the heroes are electrocuted.
Alan managed to get Probopass its control back and swims to shore. Alan and Probopass come out of water, so Jessie sends Seviper and James Carnivine. Buizel frees the heroes using Sonic Boom to get the net off. Seviper uses Poison Tail and Carnivine goes to bite, but get attacked by Magnet Bomb, which hits Team Rocket and hits them. Pikachu defeats Seviper and Carnivine with Volt Tackle, and Probopass and Pachirisu finish Team Rocket off with their respective Zap Cannon and Discharge. Ash is glad for Alan's victory, but still have a battle. Turtwig and Probopass tackle each other. Dawn sees there is a lot of spirit, but without it, they wouldn't be the same.
