Newton's Birthday Party

Newton's Birthday Party

March 26, 2011

Hi, guys.

So, Solomon and his team land at a heavily damaged space station when they’re attacked by a burst of energy. Meanwhile, Octus is thrown a surprise birthday party by Lance and Ilana. During the party, Octus receives a distressing call from Solomon that requires Titan's immediate assistance. Titan arrives at the space station and are able to survive one encounter with the creature thanks to Solomon. He explains it’s a creature made of pure lightning-like electrical energy and when it drains the energy of something, it can’t be recharged again. As they flee from the creature, Octus is hit by the creature in his leg, and can’t fix it. The gang then decide to contain the creature instead of destroying it. Lance and Solomon head towards the creature while Octus and Ilana hide. They manage to trap the creature temporarily, until Solomon's ship arrives. All of them escape, except for Lance due to the cable breaking. Octus saves him but is drained by the creature. When they try to recharge his mainframe it fails, and a strongly infuriated and heartbroken Lance uses Solomon's ship to destroy the station and the extraterrestrial creature within.

But we don't stop there, because Ash and the gang are approached by a Darumaka, while another steals their lunch. Ash sends Oshawott to battle them, but it is defeated. Nurse Joy tells them that the Darumaka have been stealing food all over town. When the Darumaka steal from the Pokémon Center, Ash chases them. Meanwhile Team Rocket receives a briefcase from their contact. In a clock tower, Ash battles the Darumaka, and they point the group to Darmanitan, who is in Zen Mode to prevent one of the bells from falling down. Ash and Cilan make a new hook to hang the bell, and Darmanitan helps them attach it with its psychic powers, before taking itself out of Zen Mode to finally fix the clock tower's bell.

But we're not done just yet, because when Skipper and Julien bicker about each other's unfitness at a zoovenir shop meeting, Mason introduces a motion that the two change places for a day to gain better mutual understanding. Skipper then becomes the temporary king of the lemurs while Julien commands the penguins, with each expecting the other to fail in their new role. Skipper still having his commando skills and Julien ordering around. Later, after Marlene desires cotton candy from a vendor she had spotted, both Skipper and Julien lead their respective new teams out to procure some, only for both to be forced to work together when the cotton candy cart rolls out of control. While they both praise each other's actions immediately thereafter, the two revert to bickering at the next meeting.
