On his
journey to the Johto League, Ash arrives in Azalea Town, the location
of the next
gym, but a drought has set in and the gym is closed until further
notice.
While trying to find Kurt, Ash accidentally
hurts a Slowpoke and
angers the townsfolk, but is saved by a man dressed
as Slowpoke.
The man tells Ash, Misty and Brock that the Slowpoke's are sacred, as when a
drought
previously hit the town, a Slowpoke yawned and it began to rain. The man then
runs off. Meanwhile, Team Rocket, in a search for water, have
invaded the Slowpoke Well and decide to capture all the Slowpoke and sell them
to the town.
As the gang try to find Kurt, they meet up with his daughter and realize
that Kurt is at the Slowpoke Well. Heading to the well themselves, they manage
to defeat Team Rocket and save the Slowpokes, even though the Slowpoke Man has
hurt his back. The Slowpokes leave the cave and yawn together, creating a storm
to cure the drought. As the town rejoices, the gang realize
that Kurt
and
'Slowpoke Man' are one and the same.

A Shadow of a Drought#
Ash, Pikachu, Misty, and Brock are walking through a
desert like place. When Misty gets the idea to use their water Pokemon to
cool themselves off with. So Misty uses her Staryu who uses water gun in
the air to make it like a shower of water. Ash uses his Squirtle whom
shoots his water gun directly at him sending Ash hurdling through the air.
Then we see the ever reselent Team Rocket walking through the desert as if they
had been there for days. Jessie says “ I would give my right arm for a
drink right now.”
James replies, “ I would give your left arm as well.” Then they both turn
around to see Meowth guzzling a canteen of water. They ask for their share
but of course its empty. Then just before Jessie kicks Meowth he spots a
well with the statue of a Slowpoke on top of it. Jessie says since Meowth
found it he can pump first, but instead of water they get a mouth full of sand.
Then Meowth is saved as again as he pulls out a pair of divining rods, which are
used to find water. Just were the divining rods seperate Meowth tells
Jessie and James to start digging they get a good ways down then are tired.
So Meowth pulls out his secret weapon the Super Diglet Mach 2. That is
basicaly a tank with a Diglet head on it and drill arms. Then they
dig towards a water source until they fall and get out of the tank. They
use their flashlights to find the water and then rush to take a drink of it.
But just as they sit up from getting their drink they notice a bunch of glowing
red eyes and are frightened to death.So
James points his flashlight at one to reveal it is just a Slowpoke.
Then they find a sign that says that this is Slowpoke Well. It says that
the people of Azalea Town believe that the Slowpoke of this well have the power
to bring rain in the times of drought by yawning.
Then we are back with Misty, Ash, Pikachu, and Brock.Who are at the edge of Azalea Town. Ash wants to go directly to the
gym as usual but Misty believes he should go to Kurt and give him the GS ball
first. They get into an arguement when Brock stops it by telling Ash
that due to the drought the gym is closed until further notice. While
walking down the street Ash accidentaly steps on a Slowpoke’s tail. It
takes a couple of seconds for the Slowpoke to recognize it but it finaly does
and starts yelling. A near by kid blames Ash for hurting a Slowpoke and
before Ash knows it a whole mob is after him. It now looks like Ash has
escaped when he hears the mob in the distance. Suddenly a man dressed in a Slowpoke costume gives them some
and tells them to hurry and put them on. So Ash, Misty, and Brock put them
on and hide near a fountain. The mob leaves and Ash returns to looking for
Kurt.
Who’s that Pokemon?
Pineco
At his house they find a girl, who is Kurts granddaughter. She tells them
that Kurt heard a strange noise coming from the Slowpoke Well. So Ash and
his companions head for the Slowpoke Well. When they get there they find
the same man who handed them the Slowpoke costumes. Team Rockets tank is
terrorizing the well trying to catch the Slowpoke. Ash
tries to defeat them but is unsuccesful. The rest of the Slowpoke, that
Team Rocket didn’t capture, start heading out of the well. The Slowpoke
walk out of the well and onto a mountain top. They sit down, throw their
heads back, and yawn one after the other. A
gigantic flood begins and team rockets tank is shot out of the ground like lava
from a volcanoe. Their tank breaks in half and the Slowpoke escape just in
time for Pikachu to blow up what is lefr of the tank, and send Team Rocket
flying. Finaly after all this Ash discovers the so furiously sought after
Kurt was the man dressed in a Slowpoke costume.
