## Plot

Ash and Ferris chase down a newly restored Tirtouga down a riverbank. However, when Oshawott drives it out of the water, Tirtouga refuses to listen to them and continues attacking the group, accidentally hitting a group of wild Whirlipede. However, when the Whirlipede all use Steamroller, Ferris stands in front of Tirtouga and takes the hit. Before the Whirlipede can execute another attack, Cilan, Iris, and Sierra arrive in a truck and stop the Steamroller attacks with Crustle's Rock Wrecker. Ash and Ferris get into the truck before Sierra drives them away from the river. Ferris explains that Team Rocket is planning to use Tirtouga to try and open the Time Gate below Twist Mountain so that they can catch lots of ancient Pokémon. Meanwhile, James launches tracking drones in order to find Tirtouga.
The group stops in a clearing for some rest, and Ash and Cilan fetch Berries for Pikachu, Axew, and Tirtouga to eat. However, Tirtouga refuses to eat until Ferris brings it a different type of berry - Tirtouga's favorite food which no longer exists, but Ferris has found a good substitute for it. Later, while Tirtouga is napping, Yamask attacks them all with Night Shade and Team Rocket ambushes them. After a barrage of attacks from Yamask and Woobat, Meowth catches Tirtouga in a net; however, at that precise moment, Tirtouga begins to evolve and breaks free of the net, now a Carracosta.

Suddenly, as Carracosta is fighting Team Rocket, it hears the voices of other Tirtouga and Carracosta and runs away into the forest. Although Ferris and the others try to run after it, Yamask uses Haze to stop them. As Jessie reports Tirtouga's evolution to Dr. Zager, the doctor notes that the Time Gate is expanding. Team Rocket again chases after Carracosta, who is heading straight for the Time Gate. Just as Carracosta is about to pass through the Gate, Meowth uses another contraption to grab its feet and arms. James uses Carracosta's life energy to keep the Time Gate open, and Carracosta falls to the ground, exhausted.

Just as Team Rocket is about to pass through the Time Gate, Ash and friends arrive and confront them. While Ash and Cilan battle Jessie and James, Ferris, Sierra, and Iris free Carracosta and help it stand up. However, as Carracosta finally remembers Ferris, Yamask and Woobat begin to gain the upper hand over Pansage and Pikachu. Carracosta stands up and calls for help from its friends on the other side of the Time Gate. Unfortunately, as three Carracosta pass through the Gate, James uses a force field to capture them. Working together, the four Carracosta easily destroy the force field with Ancient Power. Ash orders Pikachu to unleash an Electro Ball at Team Rocket, which hits and causes an explosion. However, once the smoke clears, Team Rocket is nowhere to be found, having gotten away.

With the danger passed, everyone passes through the Time Gate to say goodbye to Carracosta. As the Time Gate closes, they all bid farewell and return to their own world, with the portal between Twist Mountain and the ancient world gone forever. Sierra apologizes for not believing Ferris's childhood story of traveling back in time, while Ferris was simply glad to see Carracosta again. Meanwhile, Dr. Zager watches his monitor, and relays to the Rocket trio that the mission is aborted as the Time Gate is now closed, so they zip off towards their next scheme.

* When Team Rocket attacks Ash and his friends under a tree, Jessie has a communication device over her eye. After Ash and Ferris refuse to give up Tirtouga, Jessie says, "Resistance is futile." This line is the catchphrase of the Borg from the sci-fi series *Star Trek: The Next Generation*, who commonly wore similar devices.
