Ben, the Lone Wolf/Transcript

* (Episode begins)
* Narrator: While Ash lost his gym battle against Brawly, things went from bad to worse as he lashed out at his friends, and then ran out sulking.
* (Outside, Ash was still fuming until a familiar character came up from behind)
* Miyazaki: (V.O.) Ash!
* (Ash turned and saw the shy bookworm, but she wasn't shy and quiet like she normally was, she looked stern and serious)
* Ash: What do you want?
* Miyazaki: I'm very disappointed with the way you're behaving, Ash. That loss was your fault, and you know it!
* Ash: But-
* Miyazaki: Brock was right, if you had forfeited the match much sooner after pushing Taillow and Treecko to their limits, and especially after Makuhita evolved, none of this would've happened and none of us would be upset with you!
* (Gardevoir shocked Ash with a Thunderbolt, causing him to collapse to the ground)
* Gardevoir: (telepathically) "She's right! What were you thinking of continuing to fight like that?! You should have forfeited the match like Brock told you to."
* (Ash got back up and snapped angrily at her)
* Ash: How would you know!? I tried to win that badge and I failed! You don't know me! You don't know me at all, all you do is spend your time reading, you worthless little bookworm!
* (Miyazaki finally had had enough, she let a small growl, and suddenly slapped Ash across the face, Gardevoir was shocked by Miyazaki's sudden smack on Ash)
* Gardevoir: (telepathically in shock) "Nodoka!" (turns angrily to Ash) "Why you!"
* (Gardevoir took a deep breath and let out the loudest scream she ever made, which hurt Ash's ears, covering them)
* Kathy: (looking through the door) Good grief! Gardevoir's going berserk on him! I can hear that Hyper Voice from in here.
* Ben: I know. I'm starting to worry that Gardevoir might seriously hurt Ash.
* Kathy: Not if me and my Meditite can help it.
* (Gardevoir tried to use Thunderbolt to shock Ash again, but Kathy's Meditite appeared, and used Protect to keep Ash from harm)
* Meditite: Meditite. ("That's enough.")
* Gardevoir: (telepathically) "What?! Meditite, why did you do that?! He called her worthless."
* (Meditite simply shook her head no as Ash took his leave)
* Ben: I'm going to go after Ash.
* Kathy: No need, Ben. I've got this. (runs off)
* (Ben looked on as Kathy went to find Ash as the Liam's Adventures of Pokémon Advanced the Series theme plays)
* Ben: (V.O.) Ben, the Lone Wolf!
* (Ben and Miyazaki go back inside the Pokémon Center)
* Mugi: I thought you were going after Ash.
* Ben: I was, but Kathy told she can talk some sense into him.
* Miyazaki: Even though he did hurt my feelings. I feel bad for him.
* Sawako: But he pushed Treeko too hard. Why do you feel bad for him?
* Ben: You know, I know someone who was like him once.
* May: You do?
* Ben: Yes ma'am. Let me tell you guys a story about a trainer who had the same feeling Ash has and gave up. It was about 10 years ago.
* (A flashback starts)
* Ben: (V.O.) And this guy acted like he just came right out of the academy. And boy was he a piece of work. So wild and young. He thought he had all the answers.
* (A motorcycle rider, who turned out to be a younger version of Ben, was chasing a member of Team Rocket through the streets of Mauville)
* Officer: (via radio) Remember, Ben. Capture that Team Rocket member before he gets away. He's been robbing every Pokémon from trainers long enough.
* Young Ben: Don't worry, Officer. Banzai and I got this! Let's go, Banzai!
* (Banzai materializes)
* Young Ben: Block him off!
* (Banzai picks up speed and manages to bring the Team Rocket grunt to a stop, allowing Ben corner him)
* Young Ben: Now we've got you!
* Team Rocket Grunt: (grins evilly) We'll see about that! Go, Gengar!
* (Gengar materializes)
* Young Ben: Banzai, let's go!
* (Banzai leaps into action)
* Team Rocket Grunt: Lick!
* (The attack lands, paralyzing Banzai)
* Ben: Blast! Come on, Banzai, snap out of it!
* Team Rocket Grunt: Sucker Punch!
* (The attack lands hard)
* Young Ben: Come on, Banzai, use Bite!
* (Banzai gets back up and charges)
* Team Rocket Grunt: Shadow Ball!
* (The attack lands, but Banzai struggles back to his feet)
* Officer: Your Mightyena can't take much more. Call it back!
* Young Ben: But we can get them!
* Officer: That's an order!
* Team Rocket Grunt: Finish it off with another Shadow Ball!
* (The attack lands, finally bringing Banzai down)
* Young Ben: Banzai! No!!
* (At the Pokémon Center)
* Young Ben: Will he be, okay?
* Nurse Joy: He'll be fine.
* Young Ben: Good. Cause once he's back on his paws, I'll make that Team Rocket punk think twice about running away from me!
* ???: (V.O.) Agent Rockefeller!
* (Ben turns around and finds the director of the Hoenn branch of the PDU)
* Director: Benjamin! I need to talk to you! In my office!
* (Later, in the director's office of the Hoenn PDU HQ)
* Direction: What you did was unacceptable! And over the line!
* Young Ben: With all due respect, sir. There's one last crook out there. Banzai and I almost had that guy and nearly wiped out the Team Rocket presence in Hoenn.
* (The director just gave him a disapproving glare)
* Director: That's not the point. You pushed your Pokémon too hard, when it knew it wouldn't make it through any tough battle like that. I'm afraid I'll have to give you a 1-week suspension.
* Young Ben: What?! That is so unfair!
* Director: I'm sorry, but I have to do it. You're suspended until you learn not to push your Pokémon too hard. I'm certain that your father would be very disappointed in you.
* Young Ben: (reached for his gun) I have a better idea, director.
* (The director was shocked, thinking that Ben planned to shoot him, but Ben simply put the gun and holster on his desk)
* Young Ben: I quit.
* (He stormed out of the office and soon cleaned out his locker, and slammed it shut and walked out of the building, frustrated and angry)
* Ben: (V.O.) He was fed up with the system, fed up with how things turned out, fed up with the rules of Pokémon battling, and starting from then on, he was only going to be thinking about number 1.
* Ritsu: (V.O.) Who Ben?
* Ben: (V.O.) Me.
* Ritsu: (V.O.) Oh, sorry.
* (Ben then got on his motorcycle and looked sadly back at the PDU HQ and then rode off)
* Ben: (V.O.) I was out the open road; I needed to see where it took me. It took me to the countryside.
* (Ben then finally made it to the countryside and then three thugs arrive on motorcycles and then one of their Pokémon, a Charmeleon scratched Ben's motorcycle)
* Young Ben: Hey!
* (The thugs then laugh and then drove off)
* Young Ben: Now that just makes me mad!
* (Ben got off the bike and checked on the scratch)
* Young Ben: Oh, that's just great. The scratch also cut the fuel line.
* (He was checking for any more damage when someone came up behind him)
* Voice: Halt!
* (Ben turned around and found a man with an Arcanine behind him)
* ???: Don't move.
* Young Ben: Easy, sir. I don't want any trouble. I'm just having problems with my motorcycle motor.
* ???: You're going to have more than motor problems if you don't get off my land now, you got that? Scram!
* ???: Dad. Everything okay?
* (A little girl runs up to see what's going on, until a wild Zangoose popped out of the crops, ready to attack)
* ???: Margaret! Baby-girl!
* (The Zangoose got closer to Margaret, prompting Ben to leap in and save her from being attacked)
* Young Ben: Okay, let's see what you got! Let's go, Shocker!
* (Shocker, though as an Electrike, materializes)
* Young Ben: Shocker, use Shock Wave!
* (The attack lands, forcing the Zangoose back)
* Young Ben: Alright, Shocker, scare it off with Howl!
* (Shocker's howl forces the Zangoose to retreat)
* ???: Oh, Margaret! Are you okay?! I thought I lost you for a second.
* Margaret: I'm fine, pop. Really.
* ???: You're safe now, thanks to mister... uh...
* Young Ben: Call me Ben.
* (Later, Ben was trying to fix the fuel line on his cycle as Margaret brought him a toolbox)
* Margaret: Can you fix it, Mr. Ben?
* Young Ben: Well, I just need a new fuel line.
* (Margaret's father arrive with a couple drinks)
* ???: I wanted to apologize for the way I acted before. We're not used to strangers around here.
* Margaret: He thought you were one of Luna's goons.
* Young Ben: Who?
* (They soon hear motorcycles coming into the barn as the same gang from before arrived, but this time with a lady who climbed off her cycle and walked up to Margaret's dad)
* ???: Pleasant day, Mr. Dave.
* Dave: Well, Luna, it was before you arrived.
* (Luna sees Ben)
* Luna: Employing a new hand?
* Dave: Good question. Now I got one. Now what do you want?
* Luna: Well, I remain concerned of your well-being. I hear supplying food can be such a dangerous business.
* Dave: Nothing I can't handle.
* Luna: You know, I consider myself as a civilized person. You should consider my offer to purchase your land, before someone gets hurt.
* Dave: Your concern is touching, Luna. But I've told you before, we're staying put.
* Luna: Yes. But you see, food supplying should be left to large food suppliers such as myself. I'm the one who's trying to tame these wild parts of the country with the mighty machines of iron and steel.
* Dave: Or to ruin the wild parts of the country! Once you've taken all of the plants, you just move on. For me and the rest of the farmers, this is home!
* Luna: Ah, Mr. Dave, Mr. Dave. The days of your quaint ways have long since passed.
* Dave: You keep your machines off of my farm. This is our land. We have legal claim to it, and you know it!
* Luna: (laughs) The only rule around here, is the one with a strong Pokémon is the one to be put in charge. That's why I have my gang, my second love, next to my motorcycle. You would do well to remember that Mr. Dave.
* (Luna and her goons then leave)
* Young Ben: (sarcastically) Nice lady.
* Dave: That lady tries to make us bankrupt and take over our harvesting business. She already scared off my hired help for the season. She thinks that using man-made machines like those motorcycles is better for harvesting food than using old-fashioned tools of labor and beasts of burden.
* Margaret: Hey, pop. Why not give Ben a job?
* Dave: I suppose we could use some help bringing in the food.
* Margaret: What do you say, Mr. Ben?
* (Ben thinks about it)
* Young Ben: Okay, I'm in. But only until I get my own motorcycle fixed and be on my way.
* Dave: Fair enough Ben. Welcome aboard.
* (Dave and Ben shake hands)
* (Later, Ben, Dave, and Margaret are about to climb onboard and ride some Fearow)
* Dave: Now ya just slip your feet in the stirrups, hang on and let the Fearow's Whirlwind do the rest.
* (The gate opens, and then the Fearow, taking them toward the corn field. And soon, on Dave's command, the Fearows' Whirlwind sends the corn up into the air and down into the buckets, and the same thing is done to the tomatoes, apples, and peas)
* Dave: As you can see, these Fearow of ours use their Whirlwind to get the apples, corn, peaches, and berries off the trees and bushes they grow on.
* (On Dave's command, the Fearow used Drill Run to dig the potatoes and onions out of the ground and then they use Whirlwind again to blow them into the basket)
* David: Then they dig up the potatoes and onions and put them into baskets, which we store here on the farm.
* (The three go inside the silo where they put in the baskets they filled in)
* Margaret: Then we sell our produce throughout the Hoenn region. Mainly to folks that use them in making soups, simple snacks, and even Pokémon food.
* (At sunset Ben walks up to Margaret, swinging on a swing set)
* Young Ben: You and your dad have quite the operation going on here.
* Margaret: Yeah, but I won't be staying here for much longer.
* Young Ben: No?
* Margaret: No way! As soon as I'm old enough, I'll go on my Pokémon journey and join the Pokémon Defense Unit academy! I'm going to be a PDU agent! PDU agents are the best! They protect the Pokémon from bad guys, and they fight for what's right no matter what it takes. They never quit!
* Young Ben: Sure kid. Whatever you say.
* (Ben soon approaches a Fearow and climbs on its saddle)
* Young Ben: Alright, let's see what you can do.
* (The Fearow takes off. As they glide through the crops and get more corn and apples into baskets, the Fearow begins to look tired)
* Young Ben: Easy, girl. We're just about finished.
* Margaret: She looks tired, Mr. Ben, I think you should stop for now.
* Young Ben: Don't worry. She can get through it. Yaw!
* (The Fearow tries to keep going, but it's unable to pick up speed)
* Margaret: Mr. Ben. It's at its limit. Stop now.
* Young Ben: I got this.
* (Margaret couldn't stand it any longer)
* Margaret: STOP!!
* (The Fearow soon lands, shocking Ben)
* Young Ben: What was that for?! I was seeing just what she could do.
* Margaret: You pushed her too hard; can't you see that she's tired?!
* Young Ben: Well, no. I thought-
* Margaret: Every Pokémon has its limit. And sometimes, you got to know when to stop. Otherwise, it'll grow weak and tired. When it's weak or tired, there's little hope to keep the job going.
* Young Ben: Gee. I didn't realize- (looks over to Fearow) I'm sorry, Fearow,
* (Soon, a bell is heard ringing)
* Dave: Come and get it!
* Young Ben: Time for dinner? Well, I can't remember the last time I had a real home cooked meal.
* (Later, the small family and Ben sit down for stew)
* Young Ben: Oh boy, Potato and corn stew.
* Dave: With hot peppers.
* Young Ben: Hot peppers? Well... (gulps) Down the hatch.
* (Ben took a bite out of the stew and immediately felt his mouth burning, before taking a glass of water and drinking it to cool down his mouth)
* Young Ben: Now that's good eating!
* Margaret: Hey, pop. Is there any seasoning left?
* (Dave got some and gave it to Margaret. Ben sees this and then sprinkles some in his bowl and continues to eat. Later that night...)
* Dave: Even with your kind help, we'll only be able to take in half of our usual haul. We're lucky to even this year.
* (Dave soon started making clicking noises, which quickly calls a Fearow)
* Dave: That a good girl.
* (Ben looks at the one Fearow that was bigger than the rest)
* Young Ben: Who's this fella?
* Dave: This Fearow is Lil' Mario. He used to belong to my wife.
* Young Ben: And that's one's Big Mario?
* Dave: How'd you know?
* Young Ben: Lucky guess.
* Dave: Best food harvester in the land. But he won't let anyone else ride him.
* Young Ben: Hmmm.
* (The next morning, Ben and Margaret are riding into town to get some supplies at the store, all the while being watched by Luna through her telescope)
* Luna: Looks like a drifter is drifting into town. How you about you three give him a not-so-friendly reminder that he's just passing through?
* Goon #1: You got it boss. (laughs)
* (Meanwhile, Ben and Margaret enter the store)
* Margaret: Morning, Mr. Kung. Morning, Ms. Florida.
* Mr. Kung: Morning, Margaret. You be sure to thank your dad for that cake he sent us. It was really good.
* (The thugs walk toward the store, before we cut back inside as Margaret tries to get a free frosted brownie, before Ben takes it and gives it to her)
* Margaret: Thanks, Mr. Ben.
* (She takes a bite out of the brownie as Luna's thugs enter the store, prompting Mr. Kung and Ms. Florida leave to avoid conflict)
* Young Ben: May I help you?
* (Instead of a verbal answer, one of the thugs yanks the bag of supplies away, and then the other thug squirts oil on Ben's face, making him mad)
* Margaret: You tell Luna we got a right to buy supplies here, same as everybody!
* Young Ben: Okay, you made your point. Let's go Mar.
* Margaret: A PDU agent wouldn't take that.
* Goon #1: (laughs) "PDU agent?"
* Goon #2: (laughs) You seen one of them around?
* Goon #3 Where?!
* (Then, one of the goons takes Margaret's brownie and splats the frosting on her head, making Ben angry)
* Young Ben: Okay, that's it. Let's go Machoke!
* (Machoke materializes)
* Azusa: (V.O.) Wait a minute.
* (Flashback cuts off)
* Azusa: Forearms was a Machoke? Before he evolved into a Machamp?
* Ben: Yes, but as I was saying...
* (Flashback continues)
* Goon #3: You just found yourself in a world of hurt, mister! Let's teach him a lesson, Shiftry!
* Goon #1: You too, Charmeleon!
* Goon #2: Same for you, Geodude!
* (The three Pokémon materialize)
* Goon #3: Use Razor Leaf!
* (Shiftry launches the attack)
* Young Ben: Dodge and use Cross Chop!
* (Machoke easily did so and nailed Shiftry)
* Goon #2: Alright Geodude, use Rock Throw!
* Goon #1: Charmeleon, combine that with a Flamethrower!
* (Charmeleon sets the rocks that Geodude throw on fire, turning them into rock-hard fireballs. However, Machoke either dodged each one or smacked each of them apart with a hard chop)
* Goons #1 and 2: Say what?
* Young Ben: You came looking for trouble, punks? Well, you found it! Seismic Toss!
* (Machoke takes and throws Geodude into Charmeleon, Shifty, and the goons before they were all thrown outside while Ben caught the bag of supplies)
* Margaret: You go, Mr. Ben!
* (Luna saw what happened from afar through her telescope as the people who saw the scene praised Ben as a hero)
* Luna: Well, well, well. It looks like the farmers have themselves a hero now. I guess it’s time for me to stop being such a nice girl.
* All heroes: Who’s that Pokémon? It’s Fearow!
* (Back to the show)
* (Back at the barn, Ben and Margaret return to Dave with Mr. Kung and other people following)
* Margaret: Dad! You've should have seen it!
* Dave: Seen what? And what's with the crowd?
* Margaret: Luna's goons came into the store causing trouble, but Ben wasn't scared of them and his Machoke gave them a left and right and a-!
* Dave: Wait a minute... You've fought Luna's thugs?!
* Mr. Kung: Fought them? Handed them their rears is more like it.
* (As Mr. Kung talked, the rest of the crowd of townsfolk cheered for Ben)
* Dave: If I know Luna, she won't take the news of this lying down.
* Mr. Kung: Well, Luna won't be so quick to mess with us now that Ben is around.
* Young Ben: I'm just here to help bring in a harvest. I'm not interested in conflicts that aren't my own. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a Fearow to ride. (walks off)
* Margaret: But Mr. Ben!
* Dave: Let him go, Mar. It's our fight. Not his.
* (Ben is soon back in the field where he was trying to get the big Fearow, Lil' Mario, to let him fly on his back, but he kept flying off as Dave and Margaret watched the whole thing, but then Lil' Mario returned to Ben, more friendly than before)
* Young Ben: Easy, boy. This won't hurt a bit. I'm your friend. (proceeds to put a saddle on Lil' Mario)
* (Then, Lil' Mario takes off for a small flight, amazing Dave and Margaret)
* Young Ben: Consider him broken. And now let's see-
* (Suddenly, Lil' Mario flies off unexpectedly and wildly, forcing Ben to hang on tight. Dave and Margaret were shocked before the story cuts to a short time later)
* Young Ben: Let's get to work!
* (The two do indeed get to work as Lil' Mario uses Whirlwind to blow the vegetables up into the air, allowing them to land in the baskets of the two farmers before they were put up in the silo. Later, as the sun started to set, Lil Mario and Ben were on the ground, exhausted after a hard day's work)
* Dave: Incredible! We have enough vegetables to feed this part of Hoenn for the whole year!
* Young Ben: Lil Mario did all the work. (turns to look at the sunset) Just look at the sunset. Beautiful.
* Dave: (notices something off) Hmmm. Except that those aren't clouds drifting by.
* (What Dave saw was a cloud of smoke up in the sky)
* David: (V.O.) That's smoke. Something's wrong!
* Margaret: Dad! Mr. Ben! The neighbors' sheds are in flames and they're coming this way!
* Young Ben: Who's coming this way?
* (Right on cue, Luna's thugs arrive as Dave opens up the cage and he chased off the Fearow for their safety. Suddenly, one of Luna's thugs' Charmeleon sets the shed on fire, with farming tools and Ben's motorcycle inside)
* Dave: If that shed goes down, we lose our tools! We'll lose everything if the silo burns down, too!
* Goon#1: Hey hero! Come on out!
* Goon#2: And fight like a man!
* Margaret: You aren't afraid of them. Are you Mr. Ben?
* Young Ben: Forget about them, we got to tend to that fire!
* (Ben sent out Shocker, who proceeded to use Thunderbolt to force the thugs to retreat. All the while, Ben, Dave, and Margaret try to put the fire out with buckets of water, but it wasn't enough)
* Dave: It's not enough. We need more water.
* Young Ben: I think I have an idea! Hold on!
* (Ben proceeded to grab an axe and climbs up the water tower before chopping a hole in it)
* Dave and Margaret: BEN!!
* (The water from the tower splashed down on the burning shed and put out the fire. Ben climbed down and was immediately met with a hug from Margaret. Both of them went into the shed to check on Ben's motorcycle)
* Margaret: I think your cycle is safe, Mr. Ben.
* (Soon, the holding compartment opened, revealing Ben's PDU badge)
* Margaret: Ben Rockefeller? Agent of the Kanto PDU? You're a PDU agent?
* Young Ben: I used to be. I terminated my commission.
* Margaret: You mean you quit?
* Young Ben: I wouldn't put it that way.
* Margaret: So how would you put it?
* Young Ben: Well, you see-
* Margaret: PDU agents don't make excuses!
* Young Ben: Look kid, don't fool yourself. Being a PDU agent isn't the greatest thing in the world.
* Margaret: You're wrong, Ben! PDU agents are kindhearted, selfless, brave, and they never quit! You're just a big... nothing!!
* (Margaret threw his badge at him and ran out of the shed, crying. Ben watched her run out, and then looked at the badge. Ben proceeded to put on his helmet and then got on his motorcycle and then drove off somewhere as Luna saw the whole ordeal through her telescope)
* Luna: Aha. Looks like that would-be hero had the sense to flee. I hope the other farmers will have the sense to follow.
* (She looked through her telescope again and saw someone coming)
* Luna: Ah. We have a guest.
* (It was Dave, driving his truck fast enough to break through the gate before stopping and getting out of the vehicle with his Arcanine)
* Dave: Luna!
* Luna: Ah, Dave dear. How delightful to see you.
* Dave: Drop the kind hospitality act!
* (Margaret then ran into her room and up the stairs. After she calmed down a bit, she looked out her skylight window up at the stars. She looked out her window and saw her dad's truck was missing and decided to follow the tire tracks left behind. Meanwhile, with Dave and Luna)
* Dave: Arcanine and I are here to settle some things!
* Luna: Well, if that's so, then have your Arcanine attack me.
* (Dave was about to order his Arcanine to attack, but couldn't bring himself to do it)
* Luna: Can't do it, can you? You see, Dave darling, it takes a special something to get the job done by any means, whether it's stealing a family's business or otherwise. Call it being evil. Call it cold-heartedness. Call it what you will. The thing is, I possess it and you don't.
* (Then, with a snap of her fingers, a swarm of Beedrill appeared and surrounded Dave)
* Dave: You'll never get my land.
* Margaret: Dad!
* (Dave turned around and was shocked that his daughter showed up)
* Dave: Margaret! Get outta here! Go home!
* Margaret: No! I won't leave you!
* Luna: You should have given up while you still had the chance, my love. Now I-
* (Suddenly, a small knife was thrown and hit the wall of Luna and her gang's hideout)
* Luna: (V.O.) Huh? What was that?
* Margaret: (surprised) He came back.
* (The motorcycle arrived as Luna commanded the Beedrill swarm to use Pin Missile and blast the motorcycle. The attack dinged and dented the motorcycle, and finally brought it to a permanent stop)
* Goon 1: They got him boss!
* (However, the goons and Luna saw that the motorcycle had no rider)
* Young Ben: (V.O.) You uh... looking for me?
* (Luna and the group turn to the right and find Ben in his PDU uniform with Banzai, Machoke, and Shocker)
* Luna: How did you get there when your motorcycle was coming at us on its own?
* Young Ben: Ever hear of remote-control motorcycles?
* (Reveals the remote that controlled the motorcycle)
* Luna: You should have quit while you were ahead, drifter.
* Young Ben: I'm not a drifter, I'm a PDU agent! And we PDU agents never give up, no matter what!
* (Luna and Ben began to tussle while the Pokémon tended to her goons. They fought all the way to a nearby cliff. Ben then soon lost his balance and grabbed onto the ledge, desperately trying to hang on as Luna proceeded to step on his fingers)
* Luna: I bid you adieu, PDU agent.
* (Ben soon fell after a hard kick in the face. But instead of a scream, she heard another noise and gasped in shock to see Ben riding Lil' Mario, who saved him from the fall)
* Young Ben: Thanks Lil' Mario. Now let's get her!
* (Luna and her goons made a run for it but were quickly stopped by Banzai, Shocker and Machoke, while Lil' Mario grabbed a net and dropped it on Luna and her gang. Meanwhile, Dave and Margaret were near the edge of the cliff, cornered by the Beedrill, until...)
* Margaret: Dad, look!
* Young Ben: YEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAW!!!!
* (Lil' Mario suddenly swooped in and used Whirlwind to blow away the Beedrill, allowing Dave and Margaret to jump on his back and they all rode off into the night sky. As the moon shone brightly, PDU agents arrived and put Luna and her goons in handcuffs before being taken away. Soon, Lil' Mario landed on the ground, allowing Ben, Dave, and Margaret to get off. Ben then pets Lil' Mario before turning to Margaret and Dave)
* Young Ben: Well, I guess it's time for me to be moving on.
* Margaret: But Ben. (hugs him) You can't leave! Please stay! You're my hero!
* Young Ben: Your dad's the real hero here. He fought for what's right. He's the reason why any kid like you would join Pokémon Defense Unit in the first place. And I should thank you, Margaret, for showing me that pushing my Pokémon past their limit is never a good idea. That's why I got to get back and make sure no one does that again and make the Pokémon world a better place for good folks like you. (pats Margaret on the head)
* Margaret: Well, Mr. Ben. You'll need this.
* (She hands Ben his PDU badge before they salute each other)
* Ben: (V.O.) So I took it.
* (Flashback ends)
* Ben: And I learned that day I shouldn't push the limits of my Pokémon once I hit them, and I've been a more experienced PDU agent ever since.
* Ashley: Wow. That's something.
* Miki: Amazing.
* Ritsu: That story was so beautiful. But totally- Oh what's the word? Irrelevant! What's this got to do with Ash being a jerk after his loss to Brawly!?
* Ben: You see, Ritsu, the point this; he has to learn to accept that all Pokémon have their limits. And he shouldn't stew in his anger. Anger will only lead to bitterness and loneliness.
* Ritsu: I guess that makes sense. He does seem pretty mad.
* Ben: Then you see my point.
* Mugi: So, tell me. What became of Margaret after you left?
* Ben: I don't know. But wherever she is, I'm sure she'll remember what I did for her and her dad that day. I really miss the little kid.
* Liam: Speaking of missing, do you know where Nodoka is? She was just here when she heard your story.
* Negi: Now that I think about it, he's right. Gardevoir's still here. but Nodoka is missing.
* Gardevoir: (telepathically) "I think Ashley may know the answer."
* Ashley: She only said she wanted to get some training in. But I'm not really sure if that's the true reason.
* (Negi and Kathy were worried about her sudden disappearance. But we soon cut away to see Miyazaki running off with tears in her eyes, with Gothita not far behind with worry)
* Narrator: As one friend runs off, regretful of what she's done, a touching story brings back memories to Ben, one that he hopes that Ash will learn from when he tells him.
* (Elsewhere, a now grown-up Margaret is traveling around with her Pokémon partner before looking up and seeing a wild Fearow flying through the sky)
* Margaret: I'll never forget you, agent Ben.
* (End of episode)
