Johto Quest Episode 3 Outline (Version 2)

Episode 3 Outline

1. The episode begins with a brief recap of the events from the previous episode (Last time on Pokemon: Johto Quest! Emily and her Mareep Eddy have picked up some emotional scars. What do I mean by this you ask? Well not only did our heroes get bit by a Houndour, but an old woman told Emily that getting bit by one of those creatures might cause her to transform into one! Oh and our heroes decided to stay at the Lake of Rage with this guy who has the biggest grudge against HootHoots in the entire history of Pokemon! So, will the journey be any less scarring for our heroes in this episode? Ehh.)

2. Emily and Eddy arrive in Mahogany Town and stop to catch their breath. A few moments later, they notice that the town's weather is colder than in the colonies. Not only that but they also notice that the town is quite small compared to anything seen in the colonies, as it only consists of two houses, a Pokemon Center, and a gym.

3. Emily and Eddy decide to explore the town. As they're exploring, someone says, "Hey guys!" to them. They both turn around and notice a Snorlax standing right in front of them. Emily gasps and says to Eddy, "Look Eddy! It's a Snorlax!" and takes off her backpack to get a Poke Ball. She tries to throw the ball at the Snorlax but it just bounces right off of it. She goes to retrieve the ball and throw it again. Like before, the ball bounces off of the Snorlax.

4. The Snorlax says, "Um kid, you do know this is a suit, right?" and Emily gasps and says in amazement, "Wow! It can talk without even moving its mouth!" Emily keeps throwing the ball at the Snorlax until it takes off its head to show that it really is just a suit. As soon as Emily sees the Snorlax's real face, Emily stops throwing the ball and tosses it back into her bag.

5. The person in the Snorlax suit introduces themself as Earl and says that he normally wears a Gyarados suit but it got damaged a week prior and the Snorlax suit is a backup. He then asks where Emily and Eddy are going. Emily tells Earl that she and Eddy are heading to the Nidoran region to see her dad.

6. Earl says that he kind of knows what she is talking about and says that no one got to the region without collecting all of the Johto gym badges. Emily thinks to herself, "Is that what that guy meant by 'more challenging'?" She agrees and tries to dash over to the Mahogany Town gym. However, Earl stops her and says that the gym isn't safe, as the roof had been destroyed by a Dragonite's Hyper Beam that missed. He says that they should start their badge collecting quest in Ecruteak City, which is west of Mahogany.

7. Emily and Eddy waste no time and start travelling towards Ecruteak. The two pass a sign that says "Route 42" and halfway down the route, they stop and try to figure out which path to take. In front of them is a couple of narrow waterways broken up by a small piece of sandy land with a cave on it. To their right is a big moutian like structure with a large hole in the side if it. They decide to take the mountain route, only to encounter an Onix with half of its head fin missing a few feet later.

8. The two run away from the Onix and try to hide from it in the tall grass outside. While they catch their breath in the grass, Emily tries to come up with another plan to get to Ecruteak. She recalls seeing something on TV about how water wears down rocks and decides that the water ways might offer protection from the Onix.

9. The ground starts to rumble and Eddy and Emily sprint over to the water and dive in. Emily tells Eddy to jump on her back and she swims as fast as she can towards the other side of the water ways. As she's doing so the Onix jumps out of the water, but finds itself unable to keep up and by the time the two reach the sandy spot, Onix has struggled to keep its head above water for at least a few minutes. By the time the duo reaches the other side, the Onix drowns and sinks to the bottom. Emily tries to throw a Poke Ball at it but the ball ends up floating in the water.

10. Emily and Eddy sit down for a few moments and Emily asks Eddy if he is okay. However, he just stares at her without moving a muscle or making a sound.

11. In Eddy's head however, he has a flashback to a time where he was travelling through a cave with a girl named Andy who was in the cave looking for her two brothers, Ricky and Tom. As she and Eddy were in the cave, an Onix with a gash on the right side of its body burst out of the ground and let out an earth shakingly loud roar. The two screamed and tried to run but the Onix slithered faster than they could run and Andy was grabbed by the Onix. The Onix squeezed her body tightly before shoving her in its mouth and began chewing on her. The crunching of Andy's bones could be heard and she cried to Eddy to help her. He tried ramming into the Onix but it barely hurt it. When Andy was chewed up enough, the Onix swallowed her, leaving nothing behind but her baseball cap, which fell onto the ground when she was getting swallowed.

Eddy sprinted over to the cap and grabbed it with his mouth. He tried his best to get away from the Onix but unfortunately, he was also caught by it. Once wrapped its body around Eddy and squeezed him, he bleated in pain and dropped the cap. As the Onix pulled Eddy towards its mouth, it stopped as it moved its head side to side and sniffed around. A couple of moments later, its swiftly turned its head to the right and fixed its gaze upon a tiny Sandshrew walking around in the distance. It quickly released Eddy from its grasp and dove headfirst into the ground and bore into it like it was nothing.

Eddy staggered towards the cap and picked it up with its mouth. He limped around aimlessly, trying to find the exit but to no avail. Eventually, his legs gave out and he collapsed to the ground, gasping for air. As he was about to black out, Ricky and Tom came across him and planned on taking him to a Pokemon Center. Ricky volunteered to carry him and Tom used an Escape Rope to get the group out of the cave.

12. The episode cuts back to present day as Emily tries to snap Eddy out of his trance. However, he starts bleating as loud as he can while firing off a multitude of Thundershock attacks in rapid succession, with one almost hitting Emily. After this, Emily gets out an empty water bottle and fills it up at the waterway. She aims the bottle at Eddy and squeezes it as hard as she can. A stream of water hits Eddy, who takes at least a few seconds to calm down. When he does so, he pants slowly and starts to cry. Emily puts the bottle away and goes over to Eddy. She then hugs him and says, "It's okay. The rock snake can't hurt us now."

13. Once Eddy stops crying, the two head on their way to Ecruteak City. When they arrive in the city, they hear music coming from one of the little buildings. She and Eddy decide to go inside to see what's going on.

14. Once inside, the duo sees about five kimono clad woman dancing with their Pokemon on stage. Unfortunatly, they only get to see five seconds of it as they came in at the tail end of the performance. The audience claps and cheers, with some even throwing flowers on stage. A little while later, the audience leaves and the women step off of the stage.
