The gang is lost in the Spooky Forest. They start walking
around and they hear spooky noises. All of a sudden they are scared stiff, and
run away, and then a Hoothoot pokes his head up. Ash and the rest turn
around, and the Hoothoot looks at them, eyes glowing red. Then Gary pops up and
tells the three that a Hoothoot is essential to get out of the forest. Then Gary
explains how and why he got a Hoothoot, 1, he needs all the Pokemon possible,
and 2, he needed it to get around so he wouldn’t get lost forever. Gary and
his Pokemon walk away, and Ash makes up his mind to capture a Hoothoot. Ash and
the gang start frantically looking for one, and Misty states that looking for
one is gonna get them more lost, just then, a Hoothoot appears at Misty’s
feet, and she gets freaked because she thinks it following her, then it attacks
Ash, and runs away. The group then gives chase. They come across a large stone
structure. They wonder what it is, and then continue to follow the Hoothoot.
They get tired, and then Pikachu goes to attack Hoothoot with Thundershock, but
Hoothoot turns around and starts going nuts on Ash. Then, the Hoothoot starts
snuggling up to an old lady, and the group thinks it’s an illusion cuz it’s
so ugly. She then says that she’s real, and she reminds them that they need a
Hoothoot to see through all the illusions, the stone structure was an illusion.
The lady’s name is Hagatha. She then says that the she owns the last
Hoothoot, and she tells everyone to wait until tomorrow to get a Hoothoot. Ash
then says he needs a Hoothoot, and he picks up Hoothoot, and it pecks him. Then
Hoothoot snuggles up to Misty, and Hagatha mentions that Hoothoot only likes
pretty girls. Then the scene switches to T-Rocket. They then see Ash and co,
with Hoothoot trailing with them. They wonder who the new Pokemon is that they
have, and Meowth starts complaining about their luck with catching new Pokemon.
---------------
Ash and gang are lost in the woods once again,
this time it is getting dark.
Ash heads off in one direction, sure of where he is going, but it ends up
that they are lost. The forest they are in is presumably haunted as the
trees suddenly have faces everywhere Ash and gang looks. A HootHoot
appears
and saves them by using a red light from its eyes to send the hauntings
away. Gary appears behind the HootHoot and thanks it, then turns to the
gang
and tells them that they should get a HootHoot, bragging about how he
"sized
up the situation".
After Gary and HootHoot leave, Ash and gang continue on the path and run into
a HootHoot. That HootHoot seems to like Misty as it rubs its head against
Misty's shins affectionately while pecking at Ash's head when he tries to get
close to the bird. The bird runs off and they follow it, Ash wanting to
capture it. They follow the HootHoot into what seems like ruins.
They enter after the HootHoot and run into Hagatha. She explains that she
owns a HootHoot renting service so trainers can get through the forest.
The
HootHoots can see through the hauntings, as Hagatha explains them as Pokemon,
so trainers can get past. Misty deducts that Gary probably got his
HootHoot
from here. Hagatha allows Ash and gang to rent her HootHoot, but she tells
them that it is her last HootHoot and only likes pretty girls like herself
(and Misty) and the last trainer that had rented it returned after three
days, half started and out of his mind.
Hagatha advises them to wait because the next day, the other rented HootHoots
will return. Ash doesn't want to, explaining that Gary will get ahead of
him
and Ash doesn't want that to happen. Ash is sure that HootHoot needs a
good
trainer.
Team Rocket themselves are lost, James hanging over a map. They spot Ash
and
gang with HootHoot and decide to go after them. Spectral gasts surround
the
gang, but Team Rocket do not see a thing. HootHoot itself is scared and is
unable to send them away. It tries for Misty, but fails. The
spectral gasts
form into one gast and scare Ash and gang, especially HootHoot. Team
Rocket
wonder what's up with them.
Ash scolds the HootHoot, but it doesn't work and it runs to Misty instead.
Misty asks it to help them and itself, it agrees. A rope wraps itself
around
Pikachu, Ash runs after it, grabbing onto the rope with Team Rocket reeling
them in. Ash crashes into a tree, making a silloutte of Ash crashing into
the tree. Pikachu is tied up and placed into a cramped box. Team
Rocket
make a short getaway in a reeling-boat when the rope breaks. Pikachu is
freed and HootHoot notices Pikachu's love for Ash.
Team Rocket start a battle, Jessie sends in Arbok and James sends in
Victreebell. Ash sends out Bulbasaur, but HootHoot starts dancing around,
distracting them all. Team Rocket spot a Dragonite and run after it,
hoping
to catch it. Ash and gang don't see a thing however. Then clones of
Ash
appear and they have to choose which Ash is the real one. It is all left
to
Pikachu who gets irritated and confused, sending out a powerful ThunderShock,
figuring out the real Ash.
Misty is then surrounded by Gastly bugs and screams out. HootHoot tries to
flee the scene, but Ash stops it. HootHoot then uses its special eye
to
send the fake Pokemon away. HootHoot reveals a ton of Gengar and Haunters,
HootHoot stops their illusion and Bulbasaur Vine Whips them followed by
Pikachu's ThunderShock to send them running. Ash is so sure of training
HootHoot, but gets a peck on the head in return.
They finally make it out of there, meeting up with Hagatha's twin sister,
Agatha. They call up Hagatha and say their goodbyes to HootHoot and Agatha.
Team Rocket are sunbathing on a beach, how they got there is just an illusion
with Haunter and Gengar having their fun with Team Rocket.
