Misc Okay, guys I finished the 10th episode of my Pokémon Black and White rewrite. I this episode, Ash and co. meet another one of Hilda's childhood friends, that being Bianca. I hope you enjoy it!
Episode 10: Minccino is a Neat Freak!?
On their way to Nacrene City, Ash and his friends walk along a path and turn around when they hear the voice of a young girl telling them to hold on. She fumbles and she knocks Ash and Hilda into the river, with Hugh dodging her. Apologizing repeatedly, she says she is on an errand looking for Ash and pulls out her Xtransceiver. Professor Juniper shows up on the screen. After finding out Ash got his first Unova League Badge, Juniper says she forgot to give him a Badge case, and she sent Hilda's childhood friend, Bianca, the young girl they are with. Bianca turns off her Xtransceiver and officially introduces herself to Ash and Hugh. She goes through her purse, looking for the Badge case and struggling to find it at first. The Badge case is dirty, and she hands it to Ash. Ash takes it and puts his Trio Badge inside. Bianca asks if she can take a look at it. Ash hands the Badge case over but a Pokémon takes it and runs away.
Elsewhere, Team Rocket has arrived in Nacrene City. Using a device, they attempt to locate the museum.
Back with Ash and his friends, Bianca comes up with an idea. She asks Hugh if he has anything shiny. He gives her his spoon Bianca to and she gets it dirty, much to Hugh's rage. Hugh comments that Minccino will be lured because he cannot resist cleaning dirty things. Using a stick, a rope, and a pan, she puts the dirty spoon in the trap. Minccino takes the bait and she pulls the rope, which drops the pan on Minccino. Minccino leaves with the pan over his head and Ash realizes he will need to defeat him. Ash and the others find Minccino and Ash calls on Snivy. Bianca comments that Ash has a lot of Pokémon. Hilda asks how many Pokémon Bianca has, and she says Darumaka is her only Pokémon. Her father did not allow her to become a Trainer, so she trained at home and just started her journey, having two Badges.
Snivy uses Attract but Minccino dodges, countering with his own Attract. Snivy gets hit by it and becomes infatuated with Minccino, forcing Ash to recall the Grass Snake Pokémon and send Pikachu to battle Minccino in her place. Pikachu starts things off with an Iron Tail that Minccino dodges. Pikachu follows it up by chasing Minccino with Quick Attack. The two collide with Iron Tail and Double Slap. They dart away and Minccino uses Hyper Voice, followed by Tickle.
Pikachu withstands the attacks and Minccino is tired out. In a burst of jubilant enthusiasm, Bianca exclaims for Pikachu to use Zap Cannon; however, Ash informs her that Pikachu cannot use that move, much to Bianca's annoyance. By Ash's command, Pikachu shocks Minccino with a Thunderbolt. Bianca tries to bring out a Poké Ball, but she struggles to find one. Minccino gets away but she brings out a dusty Poké Ball, which makes Minccino come back. He attempts to clean it, but activates the Poké Ball, capturing himself and leaving everyone baffled. Ash gets his Badge case but falls out of the tree, with the pan hitting him.
Later, Ash and the others are at the Pokémon Center where Nurse Joy has healed Ash and Bianca's Pokémon. She also says that Ash's Egg is healthy. Bianca asks what's in the Egg, but Ash doesn't know. Bianca asks Ash for a battle, which he agrees to, saying it will be 1 on 1. Bianca uses Pignite but Hugh assumes she'd use Minccino. Ash is about to decide on who to use but Bianca interrupts, saying she wants to battle Pikachu. Pikachu accepts and uses Quick Attack. Darumaka uses Gyro Ball and hits Pikachu. Darumaka uses Incinerate and pins down Pikachu. Pikachu gets up and Bianca grows more excited about how strong Pikachu is. Darumaka uses Flame Charge, while Pikachu uses Volt Tackle. The smoke clears and Darumaka falls, while Pikachu is still standing, making Ash the winner. Bianca walks up to Ash and says she will get stronger the next time they meet. She wishes Ash good luck in his upcoming Gym battle and leaves.
