EPISODE 509 : PLANT IT NOW... DIGLETT LATER!
A village of kind, elderly people prepares a great
meal for Ash and friends, and in return requests that the Pokémon
Trainers assist them in defending their village against a gang of marauders
that invades the village every year and attempts to rustle their sizable
herd of Diglett. In explaining this to the children, the village’s
elderly mayor loses his train of thought numerous times, leaving Ash and
friends completely confused by his request, until an unlikely source offers
some clarification. The leader of the gang in question appears, succinctly
restates the mayor’s explanation, promises to return the following
day with his gang, and finally excuses himself politely. A bit puzzled by
this genteel marauder, Ash and friends nonetheless accept the mayor’s
request and along with Team Rocket, whose insatiable appetites had brought
them to the dinner as well, begin fortifying the town against attack. When
our heroes venture into the enemy camp, however, they learn that there is
more to the marauders’ plot than meets the eye.
