| Ash knocks down Team Rocket's hot-air balloon, which had captured Pikachu, with Starly. A wild Turtwig saves Pikachu from the balloon which had fallen into a distant lake. However, Turtwig starts getting defensive for Pikachu and won't let any human near it. A nearby resident named Clara invited Ash and gang over to her small house to take a quick break. In the process, she mentioned the Turtwig that attacked Ash was a leader to the other wild Pokémon that lived in the area. Turtwig soon realizes that Ash is his friend instead of Team Rocket so when Ash and the others accompany Turtwig with his friend Clara, Turtwig wanted to be with Ash more and more, especially after Ash saved it from Team Rocket's clutches. | |||||
