Just then, Atoshi arrives and demands the Badges back. Jessie calls out her Arbok while Atoshi calls out his Doduo. Back in the forest, Marowak comes across other Pokemon and their trainers. Realizing he made a mistake, Marowak runs back to find Atoshi. Just as Doduo loses to Arbok, Marowak returns and kicks Arbok's tail. James tries to help out, but Pikachu sends them blasting off once again. Atoshi gets his badges back, and they all head on to Indigo Plateau.
