Summary

English Official Summary

As our heroes continue toward Daybreak Town and Dawn's next Pokémon Contest, they lose their sense of direction in a large forest. Peering into the sky, all of a sudden they see what turns out to be a move called Draco Meteor. The move comes from an Altaria, a Pokémon under the tutelage of an elderly woman who calls herself Grandma Wilma. The team asks if they can watch Grandma Wilma's coaching session with Altaria. Then the whole group is approached by a feisty Gible, which Grandma Wilma says lives in the forest. Gible wants to be able to use Draco Meteor, too, but can't seem to pull it off! Meanwhile, Altaria has caught the fancy of Team Rocket. They decide to steal it to add to their power. Once Altaria is caught, a frantic chase ensues, and at one point it appears that Team Rocket has outrun our heroes! But even while Gible struggles with Draco Meteor, it manages to unleash a powerful Dragon Pulse move, which helps the gang rescue Altaria from Team Rocket's grip. Bidding goodbye to Grandma Wilma and Altaria, our heroes suddenly realize that Gible is nowhere to be seen. But as they take their leave, we see Gible emerge from a bush and watch them as they walk away...

Russian Official Summary

По пути в Дейбрейк-таун, место проведения следующих состязаний Доун, наши герои теряются в лесу, как неожиданно видят на горизонте странное свечение, которое оказывается следствием приёма под названием «метеор дракона». Оказывается, неподалёку пожилая женщина по имена бабушка Вильма тренирует Альтарию. Она разрешает нашим героям понаблюдать за тренировкой, но тут на них нападает пакостник Гибл, который живёт в лесу. Он тоже хочет научиться метеору дракона, но у него ничего не получается. Команда Р, тем временем, похищает Альтарию. В какой-то момент даже начинается казаться, что злодеям удалось уйти от погони наших героев, но им на помощь приходит Гибл. Хоть у него и не получается метеор дракона, он использует пульс дракона, благодаря которому и освобождает Альтарию. Попрощавшись с бабушкой Вильмой, наши герои замечают, что Гибл исчез. Но оказывается, что он продолжает в тайне следить за ними.

Norwegian Official Summary

Når heltene våre fortsetter ferden mot Daybreak Town og Dawns neste Pokémon konkurranse, går de seg vill i en stor skog, når de plutselig, på himmelen, ser det som viser seg å være et trekk kalt Draco Meteor. Det har blitt brukt av en Altaria under ledelse av en eldre dame som kaller seg selv Bestemor Wilma. De spør om de kan få se på når Wilma trener Altaria, og blir samtidig kontaktet av en livlig Gible, som Bestemor Wilma sier lever i skogen. Gible ønsker også å kunne bruke Draco Meteor, men med liten suksess. Imens har Altaria fanget interessen til Team Rocket, som bestemmer seg for at det vil gjøre dem sterkere dersom de fanget den. Og straks Altaria er fanget starter en vill jakt, og det ser på et punkt ut til at Team Rocket , med Altaria på slep , har sluppet unna heltene våre. Men mens Gible fremdeles strever med Draco Meteor, sender den ut en kraftig Dragon Pulse, som til slutt bidrar til å hjelpe og redde Altaria fra Team Rockets grep. Når de tar farvel med Bestemor Wilma og Altaria, finner heltene våre plutselig ut at Gible ikke er å se noe sted, men i det de drar av sted, ser vi Gible dukke opp fra et kratt , beskuende dem i det de vandrer av sted….

Swedish Official Summary

Medan våra Hjältar fortsätter mot Daybreak Town och Dawns nästa Pokémon-tävling, förlorar de sitt lokalsinne i en stor skog, men ser helt plötsligt på himlen vad som visar sig vara ett Move kallat Draco Meteor. Det har använts av en Altaria under handledning av en äldre kvinna som kallar sig själv Farmor Wilma. De frågar om de kan se på när Wilma tränar denne Altaria, varefter en livlig Gible, som Farmor Wilma säger bor i skogen, söker kontakt med dem. Gible vill också kunna använda Draco Meteor, men med liten framgång. Under tiden har Altaria väckt Team Rockets gillande, och de drar slutsatsen att deras makt skulle öka om de stal den. Och när Altaria väl har fångats följer en vild jakt, även om det vid ett tillfälle verkar som Team Rocket, med Altaria i släptåg, har sprungit ifrån våra Hjältar. Men medan Gible ännu kämpar med Draco Meteor, släpper den lös en kraftfull Dragon Pulse som slutligen hjälper till att rädda Altaria ur Team Rockets grepp. Våra Hjältar tar farväl av Farmor Wilma och Altaria, och inser plötsligt att Gible inte syns till någonstans, men när de ger sig av ser vi Gible dyka upp ur en buske och betrakta dem medan de vandrar iväg...

Danish Official Summary

Da vore helte fortsætter deres færd mod Daybreak Town og Dawns næste Pokémon konkurrence, farer de vild i en stor skov. Lige pludseligt får de øje på noget oppe i himlen, som viser sig at være et træk, der hedder Draco Meteor. Det er blevet brugt af en Altaria, der bliver trænet af en ældre kvinde, som kalder sig bedstemor Wilma. Da de spørger, om de må se Wilma træne Altaria, bliver de opsøgt af en livlig Gible, som ifølge bedstemor Wilma siger bor i skoven. Gible vil også lære at bruge Draco Meteor, men det går ikke videre godt. Imens er Team Rocket blevet lidt for interesserede i Altaria, og de beslutter sig for at stjæle den, da de mener, at den vil gøre dem stærkere. Da de først har fanget den, følger en hæsblæsende jagt, og på et tidspunkt lader det til, at Team Rocket sammen med Altaria er løbet fra vore helte. Men Gible kæmper stadig med Draco Meteor, og det udløser et voldsomt Dragon Pulse, som ender med at redde Altaris ud af Team Rockets klør. Da vore helte siger farvel til bedstemor Wilma og Altaria, går det pludseligt op for dem, at de ikke kan se Gible nogen steder. Men da de begiver sig af sted, ser man Gible stikke hovedet op af en busk og se dem gå af sted...

Excellent animation, and in addition, they`re use of foreshadowing at the end of the episode for Fukamaru`s interest in going with Satoshi was a good call. I found it quite interesting how it acted so independantly, despite being wild, battling against the Rocket-dan on it`s own, ect. I`m a bit surprised that Jun will be competing for Fukamaru, but judging from the very last scene in the preview, it appears Satoshi gets it. The fact that Jun would attack and try to capture Fukamaru when it`s clearly interested in Satoshi feels like he`s just needlessly getting in the way to me, though xD Can`t wait for next week`s episode.

Character Bios written:
- Grandma Tatsu: Grandma Tatsu is an old woman that lives in a forest near Asatsuki Town. She is based off the Move Tutor who teaches the powerful Dragon-type move Draco Meteor to trainers' Dragon-type Pokémon in the Gen IV Pokémon games. [The Move Tutor lives in Route 210 in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, and in Fusube City in HeartGold and SoulSilver and can only teach the move to Pokémon that have a maxed out friendship meter.]

Satoshi and his friends met Grandma Tatsu when they got lost in a forest while heading to Asatsuki Town for Hikari's next Pokémon Contest. They noticed Grandma Tatsu's Tyltalis' Draco Meteor attack and rushed towards the site they saw it come from. When they reached it, they saw Grandma Tatsu training with Tyltalis in perfecting Draco Meteor. After successfully avoiding getting hit by the falling meteors that came from Tyltalis' attack, Grandma Tatsu introduced herself to Satoshi, Hikari and Takeshi, and explained to them that the move they had just witnessed was Draco Meteor, a powerful Dragon-type move she can teach to trainers' Dragon-type Pokémon. She also informed them that the area near her house is out of bounds to people and Pokémon, because nobody knows where a Draco Meteor attack, that comes from Pokémon who haven't mastered the Dragon-type move yet, will land.

During their conversation, Satoshi and his friends asked Grandma Tatsu to let them watch her train with Tyltalis so they could see how she teaches Draco Meteor to Pokémon, and she agreed to do so. While they were training, though, Rocket Gang appeared and stole Tyltalis. Satoshi and Hikari, along with Takeshi who was carrying Grandma Tatsu on his back, went after them, and were at last able to catch up to them. After defeating Rocket Gang in a battle, with the help of Satoshi's Fukamaru (who was still a wild Fukamaru at the time), Satoshi and his friends managed to reunite Grandma Tatsu with the Tyltalis she was looking after. Grandma Tatsu then said farewell to Satoshi and co. and also gave them advice on which route to follow in order to reach Asatsuki Town.

Grandma Tatsu also has a really good relationship with the wild Fukamaru that was living in the nearby forest (that would later get caught by Satoshi). She was the one who introduced it to Satoshi and his friends, and was later able to calm it down by petting it, so that it would stop biting on Satoshi's and Pochama's heads. She told Satoshi and co. that it had shown up before them because it must have taken an interest in them.

- Grandma Tatsu's Tyltalis: Grandma Tatsu's Tyltalis is a Pokémon that Grandma Tatsu is training in learning Draco Meteor. When Satoshi and his friends got lost in a forest en route to Asatsuki Town and Hikari's next Pokémon Contest, they noticed Tyltalis' Draco Meteor attack in the sky, and rushed towards the site they saw it come from. When they reached it, they saw Grandma Tatsu training with Tyltalis in perfecting Draco Meteor. After successfully avoiding getting hit by the falling meteors that came from Tyltalis' attack, Grandma Tatsu introduced herself and the Tyltalis she was training to Satoshi, Hikari and Takeshi, and explained to them that the move they had just witnessed Tyltalis using was Draco Meteor. Grandma Tatsu praised Tyltalis' skills while talking to Satoshi and his friends, saying that she was sure Tyltalis' training would be over soon and that it had almost mastered the powerful Dragon-type move.

Later, Rocket Gang showed up during the training session Satoshi and his friends were watching, and stole Tyltalis from Grandma Tatsu using a plastic capsule. Satoshi and Hikari, along with Takeshi who was carrying Grandma Tatsu on his back, then, started chasing after them. While Tyltalis was seperated from Grandma Tatsu, it tried to escape on its own by using powerful moves, such as Ice Beam, to break the capsule it was trapped into. Even though it managed to break it, Rocket Gang found a way to stop it from escaping. In the end, though, Satoshi and co. managed to catch up to them, and after they defeated Rocket Gang in a battle, with the help of Satoshi's Fukamaru (who was still a wild Fukamaru at the time), Grandma Tatsu got reunited with Tyltalis.

Tyltalis is shown to have developed a really strong bond with Grandma Tatsu, even though it's just a Pokémon she is training in learning Draco Meteor and it doesn't belong to her. This is clearly shown when Grandma Tatsu got really upset after Rocket Gang stole Tyltalis from her.

- Satoshi's Fukamaru: While it was still a wild Pokémon, Satoshi's Fukamaru used to live in a forest near Grandma Tatsu's house. When Satoshi and his friends went by there, it showed up, because according to Grandma Tatsu, it had taken an interest in them. When Satoshi tried to greet it, though, it started biting on his head. It was later calmed down by Grandma Tatsu and left to go back to the forest.

It came back when Grandma Tatsu was training with Tyltalis in perfecting Draco Meteor, after Satoshi and his friends asked her to do so, so that they could witness how she teaches the special Dragon-type move to Pokémon. It showed that it was trying to learn Draco Meteor too, after it had been watching Grandma Tatsu practice with Tyltalis all this time. However, it had problems launching a successful Draco Meteor, and even though it also practiced with Satoshi in perfecting the Dragon-type move, his attack just kept failing and hitting Pochama all the time.

It later appeared before Satoshi and Hikari when they were chasing after Rocket Gang, but, instead of showing them a shortcut to the mountain the evil team was heading to, it led them to a tree which had numerous berries it kept munching on. It then reappeared as Satoshi was falling from a cliff, and saved him from falling down. Satoshi then hang on to it, and Fukamaru helped him reach the top of the cliff.

Fukamaru also appeared before Rocket Gang, and started eating their Tyltalis-looking mecha out of the blue. It later engaged into a battle with Musashi's Habunake, but it was quickly worn out by using a powerful Dragon Pulse attack which Habunake managed to dodge. However, when Satoshi and co. finally caught up to Rocket Gang, it joined them in battling against the evil team, and even managed to launch a successful Draco Meteor attack. It was later proved that this was just a one-time thing, though, as the next attempt at a Draco Meteor led to an unsuccessful attack landing on Pochama again. After the fight, Satoshi and his friends said farewell to Grandma Tatsu and Tyltalis and left the forest, unaware that the Land Shark Pokémon was following them.
