Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1 (Japanese: トルネロスVSボルトロスVSランドロス!(前編), Hepburn: Tornadus VS Thundurus VS Landorus! (Part One)) is the 11th episode of Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies.
Synopsis[]
Our heroes return to the Driftveil City Gym and Ash once more challenges Gym Leader Clay to a battle. But once again Clay again tells them he’s too busy to accept Ash’s challenge—this time because he has run out of Revival Herbs. Clay makes a deal with Ash: if Ash can bring him some of these amazing medicinal herbs, Clay will accept his challenge. So our heroes set off to the Driftveil Market to find some.
The gang asks their friend Charles for help, to no avail. Then they learn that the only place where Revival Herbs grow is on Milos Island, known as the Island of Legends. Ash, Iris, and Cilan arrive on the island and are told to seek out a guide named Lewis. They travel a great distance to find him, but Lewis sadly tells them that he can’t find any Revival Herbs either...there hasn’t been any rain for a very long time, and all the herbs have dried up.
Lewis and his Gothorita have planned a rainmaking ceremony to appeal to the Legendary Pokémon Landorus, whose presence is said to make the land fertile. But the Legendary Pokémon Tornadus and Thundurus appear instead, and immediately start attacking each other and our heroes! Tornadus and Thundurus had been blocked from returning to Milos Island by two protective obelisks, but we discover what Team Rocket has been up to recently: tampering with the obelisks to make them stop working. Now the two powerful Legendary Pokémon are back, and they’re ready for a fight—and their rage could destroy Milos Island!
Our heroes valiantly attempt to battle Tornadus and Thundurus, but the angry Legendary Pokémon prove too powerful. Lewis remembers that Landorus is said to be the only one who can control Tornadus and Thundurus, but it can only be summoned by a Shrine Maiden. Iris assumes the identity of the Shrine Maiden, and with Gothorita’s help, begins to send her appeal to Landorus. Will she be able to make contact with the Legendary Pokémon and save Milos Island?[1]
Episode plot[]
A man picks up a plant, which turns into dust. He sees the Revival Herbs have dried up. He walks a bit and notices a storm is approaching. The clouds gather and strike a thunder at one of the desecrated shrines. Later, the heroes come to the Gym, where Ash wants to challenge Clay. However, Clay tells he has business to do, as he is out of Revival Herbs. He goes out, telling the heroes to get the Revival Herbs, then he can challenge Ash. Ash is displeased, but Cilan advises to look out in the market. They meet up with Charles and tell him they need a Revival Herb. Charles asks a trader, who shows them the herb, but replies it is for the Pokémon Center. He tells them he is out of herbs, so Charles suspects something happened on Milos Island, the Island of Legends, where the herbs grow and Legendary Pokémon live.
After taking a boat, they ask a lady at Milos Island where they can find the herbs. She points at the mountain, where a man named Lewis can guide them. The heroes climb up and, at dusk, meet up with Lewis and tell him they need Revival Herbs. They come to his cabin and see a sick Lilligant. Lewis reports she was his partner, but got sick, along with some Cottonee that live nearby. Lewis worries the land itself may be sick and affecting the Pokémon. Without Lilligant, he cannot find the Revival Herbs. Iris wonders why the Revival Herbs grow on this island, so Lewis tell her a story.
He shows them a scroll, in which is stated Landorus got in the middle of a battle with Tornadus and Thundurus. It got wounded in the battle and fell down. The people of the Milos Island healed it, giving Landorus strength to fight back and drive Thundurus and Tornadus away. To thank the people for healing it, Landorus revived the land, giving it Revival Herbs to grow on. However, the land does not grow the Revival Herbs, but Lewis announces a rain ceremony will be commenced tomorrow. A Gothorita appears, making Lewis remember it was a Gothorita that healed Landorus. The Revival Herb it brought is still dried up. Nevertheless, Gothorita sees Axew and befriends him.
Next day, Lewis and the heroes place some grass, then Lewis ignites it as a part of the ceremony. He pleads Landorus to conjure rain to make Revival Herbs grow. Gothorita focuses on the smoke of the fire, causing clouds to be conjured. Unexpectedly, Tornadus is formed from the clouds. Tornadus blows the wind, using Hurricane and Air Slash. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, though Tornadus dodges and uses Hidden Power. Lewis, Iris and Ash go to check Tornadus' obelisk, while Cilan sends Pansage, who uses Bullet Seed on Tornadus, who avoids the attack. Lewis, Ash and Iris see the obelisk being desecrated, shocking them. They go to Thundurus' obelisk.
Tornadus uses Hidden Power, hitting Pansage. Tornadus attacks, but Pansage digs to dodge and uses Solar Beam, hitting Tornadus, who still floats. As Iris and Axew leap on the rocks, they slip, but Gothorita saves them using Telekinesis. They come to Thundurus' shrine, which is also desecrated. A lightning bolt strikes, as Thundurus appears, blowing them away by Thunder and Focus Blast. Thundurus moves away. Pansage is being hit, so Cilan calls him back. Thundurus faces Tornadus; the latter using Air Slash and the former Focus Blast. Tornadus uses Hidden Power, hitting Thundurus, who uses Wild Charge. To stop them, Ash sends Snivy, who uses Leaf Storm. However, Tornadus dodges and blasts her off using Hurricane. Thundurus uses Focus Blast, but Snivy uses Vine Whip to dodge.
Iris sends Excadrill, who uses Focus Blast, but gets negated and hit by Tornadus' Secret Power. Axew uses Dragon Rage, hitting Thundurus, who uses Thunder, but gets negated by Cilan's Stunfisk's Mud Bomb. Tornadus uses Hurricane, blowing them away. Meanwhile, Team Rocket observes, pleased Thundurus and Tornadus came, as Dr. Zager told desecrating the shrines would summon them. Still, they need the twerps to do a final thing for them. Snivy uses Leaf Storm and Excadrill Drill Run. However, Tornadus' Hurricane negates Leaf Storm, while Excadrill is blown on Snivy via Thundurus' Wild Charge. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, along with Stunfisk's Thundershock, which hits Thundurus, who retaliates with Focus Blast, but misses.
Pikachu falls down, while Stunfisk gets hit by Tornadus' Hammer Arm. Iris wakes Excadrill from unconsciousness, then calls him back. Cilan calls Stunfisk back and Ash Snivy. Cilan sees they are just too powerful, while Lewis asks of Gothorita to send their thoughts to Tornadus and Thundurus. Gothorita hesitates, but Axew persuades it. Gothorita does that, but Tornadus and Thundurus continue to battle. Thundurus gets hit by Tornadus' Hammer Arm and retaliates using Wild Charge. Lightning strikes the island, causing a fire. Lewis claims the only option to stop them is to summon Landorus itself. Lewis asks Iris to become the shrine maiden. Iris panics, but is told Gothorita will help her out. Iris dresses as the shrine maiden and heads with Lewis, Ash and Cilan to Landorus' shrine.
Iris kneels in front of the shrine, asking for Landorus' help. Gothorita, aided by the mysterious stones, sends the message in form of beams that form into light.
