After what seemed like a million episodes of journeying to Azalea Town, it is finally time for us to arrive! As the party approaches the city, the heat begins to get to them, forcing them to take a break. Misty has the great idea to bring out Staryu, which acts as a sprinkler to cool every one off. This opens up the narrative about how the area has been stricken with a drought, and they may need to conserve their water abilities.
While the party soldiers on to Azalea Town, Team Rocket decided they would dig in order to beat the heat and find water. With the help of the Super Diglett Mark 2 (their new very expensive and elaborate robot), they bore through the ground with ease before stumbling into a natural water reservoir deep in the caves. That’s when they notice that they are not alone.Surrounded by red eyes in the dark, we learn that this cave is filled with Slowpoke.
Back above ground, Ash learns that due to the drought, all Azalea Town businesses, including the Gym, are closed until further notice. If there was only a way to end this drought! Aha! The Slowpoke legends speak that they are rainmakers, so the citizens regard the Slowpoke as their lifeline. Now they just need to figure out how to get the Slowpoke to do… anything.
It’s worth pointing out that Azalea Town is also a critical location for the main story, with Ash still needing to deliver the mysterious GS ball to Kurt. The shenanigans begin thanks to Team Rocket, and we meet Kurt in an unexpected place and position. A major battle ensues, resulting in Team Rocket’s captured Slowpoke being freed. This leads to the Slowpoke fulfilling their prophecy and bringing rain to Azalea Town. Soon the land is filled with fresh water and greenery, which only means one thing. The Gym must be open!
