Continuing their journey to Nacrene city where the next Gym is located, the group of Ash, Iris and Cilan have prepared for lunch time. Ash sits at the prepared table, complaining to Cilan and Iris about not being finished with the food. Iris heeds his call, presenting a plate adorned with a colorful array of dumplings. Iris explains that since it will be a full moon, she made her moon-viewing dumplings using berries. Cilan sarcastically questions Iris if her dish is really “cooking”. Iris responds that the dish only needs to be tasty, biting into one of her dumplings. Ash reaches to grasp one of Iris’ dumplings, however Cilan grasps the plate and holds it away from Ash’s reach; stating that he should wait because the vegetable paella he made using fresh vegetables and olive oil will be completed shortly. Cilan continues that he has also prepared something for Pikachu and Axew as well. Cilan explains that he has prepared special Pokémon food with Oran Berry flavor while presenting the dish to Pikachu and Axew. Cilan returns to the cooktop and suggests that the pallela is almost completed. After a few moments, a Darumaka reveals itself; causing Iris to shriek out. Ash removes his Zukan to obtain the entry on the wild Pokémon: “Drumaka, the Dharma Doll Pokémon. Even if pushed or pulled, a sleeping Darumaka will never tumble over. Iris steps over and begins pulling and tugging at Darumaka’s ears, complimenting Darumaka for being cute. Iris continues to pull on Darukama’s ears, which forces it to release a small stream of fire energy which scorches Iris’ face. Cilan explains that due to it having an indomitable spirit that never gives up, Darumaka is said to be an auspicious Pokémon.

While our heroes are turned away and focused on the wild Darumaka, another Darumaka appears from nearby foliage and snatches Pikachu’s share of Pokémon Food. Axew manages to notice the food has been removed, and begins bickering with Pikachu, concluding that Pikachu has taken the food. Pikachu attempts to explain to Ash that his Pokémon Food is gone and Axew was the culprit who had actually taken it. Iris sides with Axew, inferring that Axew didn’t take it and couldn’t have Pikachu had eaten the food. Pikachu waves his arms, suggesting to Iris that she is incorrect. Ash directs his attention to the wild Darumaka which had appeared before them, questioning if it had seen anything. Darumaka reverts to a sleep state, unresponsive to Ash’s questions. Ash walks over to Darumaka, pondering if it had actually fallen asleep. Cilan states that with its mild savor and a touch of unpredictability, it’s a Pokémon with a good flavor. Ash recalls his Zukan’s entry, announcing that in its rest state, Darumaka won’t tumble over, whether if it’s pushed or pulled. Iris shouts that she will test the theory, and uses her finger to push the Darumaka. The Darumaka begins to wobble back and forth, able to successfully maintain its balance. While the sleeping Darumaka continues to keep everyone’s attention diverted from the food, the other Darumaka reveals itself again and snatches Axew’s share of Pokémon Food. Pikachu manages to catch a glimpse of the fleeing Pokémon; however Axew turns around a few moments later; missing the second Darumaka and realizing his share of food is gone as well. Axew begins to argue with Pikachu, demanding that he had taken his share as well. Pikachu attempts to explain the situation, pointing to the foliage in which the 2nd Darumaka had dispersed. Axew ignores Pikachu’s plea, and jumps atop Pikachu. The two Pokémon continue to fight, drawing Iris and Ash’s attention away from the 1st Darumaka. Ash and Iris rush over and pull the bickering Pokémon away from each other. Cilan questions what could have happened between Pikachu and Axew. Iris shouts that Axew’s share of food is gone as well; siding with Axew that Pikachu had taken it. Pikachu attempts to explain the situation, pointing towards the 1st Darumaka who is still in a recovery state. Cilan questions Pikachu’s claim, stating that Darumaka had been sleeping the entire time. Ash shouts for Darumaka to wake up, however it remains motionless. Ash strides over and presses the Darumaka; however it simply wobbles back and forth while in its recovery state. After a few moments, the 2nd Darumaka reveals itself with the stolen food; confronting our heroes. The 2nd Darumaka rushes away, drawing our heroes away from the 1st Darumaka. The sleeping Darumaka recovers from its state and propels itself into the air, launching Flamethrower in the path of our heroes. The two Darumaka rush off however Ash responds, releasing a Monster Ball calling upon Oshawott. Oshawott launches a strong Water Gun at the fleeing Pokémon, however both Darumaka propel themselves off a nearby brick wall, avoiding the attack and launches a double Flamethrower which envelops Oshawott’s entire body knocking him unconscious. The two Darumaka use the opportunity and dash over the wall, escaping into the distance. Iris examines Oshawott, suggesting that Oshawott took a lot of damage. Ash states they will have to hurry and take Oshawott to a Pokémon Center. Cilan responds that there is one nearby, directing his attention towards a nearby town.

Our heroes successfully reach the Pokémon Center, with Ash delivering Oshawott to the resident Joy and Audino. Ash questions Joy if Oshawott will recover from the attacks. Joy consoles Ash, stating it will be better soon. Audino pushes a small bed containing Oshawott into the interior of the Pokémon Center.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket enjoys a colorful lunch at a nearby café. Jessie finishes her cappuccino, calling for the waiter. Jessie asks for a cappuccino which is fast as a rocket. The waiter, which is a liaison for Team Rocket, identifies Jessie by the keywords in her statement. The young man presents a cappuccino to Jessie, which has an image of their next objective hidden in the froth. After examining the message, Jessie stirs her cappuccino, mixing the froth into the cappuccino.

Afterwards, the renowned Pokémon recovery audio is played in the Pokémon Center, confirming that Oshawott’s recovery is complete. Joy presents Oshawott to Ash, stating that he has recovered. Ash thanks Joy for her efforts, and recalls Oshawott into his Monster Ball. Iris shouts that the Darumaka really drive her mad. Joy questions Iris if they had met the Darumaka. Iris confirms they had met the Darumaka, inquiring if Joy is knowledgeable about the Darumaka. Joy explains that a Darmanitan and two Darumaka reside in town. Joy elaborates on the story, suggesting that at first they lived together peacefully with the people of the town, however at some point, the Darumaka began stealing food in town. Joy states that Darmanitan and the Darumaka used to always be together; however only the Darumaka are doing the stealing. Cilan explains that their food was stolen as well. Ash states that when he attempted to stop the Darumaka is when his Oshawott had been injured. Iris suggests that they must be extremely hungry to be driven to those extents. Joy explains that they aren’t the kind to steal food because of hunger. Ash questions what could have happened that forced the Darumaka to begin stealing food. Iris walks over to a window, noticing a gigantic clock tower which basks in the town’s radiance, questioning what the structure is used for. Joy explains that it has existed since “olden” times; however since the building has decayed and neither the clock nor bell work any longer, it has been decided that the structure will be torn down. Cilan questions Joy if they will actually destroy the clock tower. Joy responds that she is correct. The growling of Ash’s stomach interrupts the conversation; however Ash apologizes stating that he is hungry. Cilan explains that they couldn’t eat lunch because of the Darumaka’s riot. Iris suggests that they should stay at the Pokémon Center and have supper there.

Night has fallen on the town, and Joy has prepared a dish of croquettes and Pokémon Food. Axew and Pikachu devour the Pokémon Food as Ash and Iris begin to consume the croquettes. Cilan suggests that he didn’t expect Iris and Ash to be so alike with their habits, suggesting that they are two of a kind. Ash and Iris shout at Cilan, furious at the thought of being similar to each other. A few moments later, Joy interrupts the group, annoying that since it will be a full moon, she has prepared moon-viewing dumplings for everyone. Ash steps up shouting that he will distribute the food to everyone at the Pokémon Center. Our heroes step into the pantry to retrieve the food, however are greeted by the two previous Darumaka, who have stolen the moon-viewing dumplings prepared by Joy. The two Darumaka manage to escape out of an open window. Ash launches a Monster Ball, revealing Pidove. Pidove soars to the skies, and begins pursuing the fleeing Darumaka. Ash escapes out of the open window, shouting that he will discover why the Darumaka steal food. The two Darumaka continue their escape, dashing through an alleyway. Our heroes follow the Darumaka closely behind, however after reaching the end of the alley, the two Darumaka split taking separate paths. Ash, Iris, and Pidove follow one Darumaka while Cilan dashes in an opposite direction in pursuit of the second Darumaka. The two Darumaka escape successfully escape through an intricate maze of alleys within the town, managing to evade our heroes. Ash and Iris return to Cilan questioning if he was able to track his Darumaka; however he apologizes explaining he lost sight of his Darumaka as well. Ash ponders where the two Pokémon could have disappeared to. Pidove lands on a nearby lamppost, pointing down a nearby alleyway which leads to the clock tower. Our heroes stare down the alleyway, managing to catch a glimpse of the two Darumaka who flee into the clock tower.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket gathers at a remote location in town, in preparation for the arrival of a liaison. James states that headquarters has become quite careful with their actions. Jessie suggests that it just shows how big their current operation is. Meowth states that it is the reason why brilliant people like Jessie, James, and himself were chosen for the task. A woman begins walking down a nearby path and stops beside Jessie, complaining that it’s cold (a keyword used to identify Jessie). Jessie responds that during cold nights, she likes to drink a warm cappuccino. After hearing Jessie’s response, the liaison drops a small case stating that it is a new item. James questions what their next objective is. The woman states they should head to Nacrene City and await new orders. Meowth suggests that Team Rocket is breaking forth into a new future. Jessie and James state that the grand plan has advanced by another step.

Our heroes successfully reach the clock tower, catching a glimpse of the two Darumaka who ascend into the bowls of the tower. Ash dashes into the tower, shouting for the Darumaka to wait. The two Darumaka turn around and hastily continue the ascension into the tower, surprised that Ash had managed to successfully track them. Ash, Iris, and Cilan successfully reach the top of the staircase and walk through an open room with scattered gears and miscellaneous machinery. Ash stares at another set of stairs, pondering if the Darumaka could have gone farther up; however, the Darumaka are perched between a corner in the room. The two Darumaka take advantage of his state, and launch Flamethrower at Ash. Ash successfully dodges the attack and shouts at the Darumaka, demanding to know why they have been stealing food. Darumaka’s Flamethrower attack manages to successfully ignite the stairwell behind Ash. Cilan calls for Ash’s attention, directing him towards the billowing flames behind him. Ash calls upon Oshawott, who launches a majestic Water Gun which dispels the growing flames. After extinguishing the fire, the stairwell falls apart, damaged by the Darumaka’s flamethrower. The two Darumaka explode into the air and launch Flamethrower towards Ash. Pikachu retaliates, directing Thunderbolt towards the oncoming attack. The two attacks collide, and soon disperse afterwards. Oshawott follows-up with Water Gun, which strikes the Darumaka, smashing them into the clock tower wall. After Oshawott’s successful attack, the two Darumaka revert to a meditation state and begin wobbling back and forth in an effort to recover energy. Our heroes begin walking towards the two Darumaka, unaware the Darumaka are actually preparing to launch a surprise attack. After a few moments, the Darumaka spring into the air and launch themselves to the opposite side of the room. Ash explains to the two Darumaka that he doesn’t want to battle them. Iris and Cilan state they aren’t their enemies and only want to know why they steal food. The two Darumaka step over and point towards the ceiling, revealing a small opening where the previous staircase had stood. Ash suggests that the Darumaka want to go further into the clock tower. The two Darumaka nod, confirming his suggestion. Ash states that he will take both of the Pokémon further into the clock tower.

Afterwards, Cilan balances Ash on his shoulders with allows Ash to jump into the opening. Ash releases Snivy from her Monster Ball, and commands for her to use Vine Whip to repel Pikachu into the opening. Snivy reveals her two slender vines, which she uses to grasp Pikachu and pull him into the opening. After successfully lifting Pikachu, Snivy uses her vines to lift the two Darumaka into the opening. After ascending through the opening, Iris suggests that has gotten hotter as they’ve climbed further into the tower. Our heroes walk up a small staircase, and are greeted by a Darmantian in Zen Mode. Ash powers on his Zukan, revealing Darmantian’s entry: “Darmantian, the Flaming Pokémon. The evolved form of Darumaka. When it becomes weaker, it switches from Active Mode to Meditative Mode. Ash concludes that the Darmantian in Zen Mode is the same Darmantian which was previously with the Darumaka. Cilan states that when Darmantian is in its Active Mode, its physical attacks become stronger; however while in Meditative Mode, its Psychic type moves become stronger. Iris complains about the heat, suggesting that the Darmantian was radiating heat while in Zen Mode. The two Darumaka present the stolen food to Darmantian, which utilizes its Psychic ability to move the food into its mouth. Ash states that the Darumaka were actually stealing food in order to feed Darmantian. Cilan states that since Darmantian has continued to use psychic, the heat from its flame pouch has begun to leak out. Iris suggests that it is strange that while Darmantian’s health has recovered, it hasn’t changed back into Active Mode. Cilan responds that with the amount of food it has eaten, it should have already recovered. The two Darumaka interrupt the conversation, presenting a metallic item to Ash. Cilan suggests that it is a hook that is used to hold something. Ash and Cilan look upward, realizing that Darmantian has been levitating the clock tower’s bell with Psychic. Cilan concludes that Darmantian has been levitating the bell with Psychic, to prevent the heavy bell from falling down, which would collapse the floor and put the entire clock tower at danger. Cilan suggests that once the hook broke which previously held the bell; Darmantian attempted to hold the bell in its Active State, however was unable to endure the weight of the bell, and was forced to revert to Meditative Mode in order to utilize its strong Psychic type moves to levitate the bell. Cilan explains that in an attempt to prevent Darmantian from losing its power, the Darumaka kept bringing it food. Darmantian’s intensive heat continues to increase, which is generated from its flame pouch. Cilan states that unless they do something, Darmantian’s heat will burn down the entire floor. Ash shouts that he will repair the hook and free Darmantian. Ash and Cilan release a Monster Ball, calling upon Pansage and Tepig. Pansage thrusts the hook into the air as Tepig launches Ember in an attempt to heat the hook; however Tepig’s low level fire attack is lacking in force. The two Darumaka step forward, suggesting they will assist as well. Pansage launches the hook into the air once more, in which Tepig launches another stream of embers at the hook. The two Darumaka contribute by launching Flamethrower, which successfully heats the hook, allowing it to be repaired. Pansage launches Bullet Seed, which retaliates with the hook and returns it to its original form. Ash calls upon Oshawott who launches Water Gun to cool the hook in its reformed state. Pikachu dashes over to examine the hook, grasping it to confirm it is cool enough to replace back into its original position. Ash ponders how they will reach the top of the ceiling to reattach the hook. After a few moments, Darmantian utilizes its Psychic to levitate Ash and Pikachu towards the top of the bell. Ash reattaches the hook to its holder and struggles to grasp for the bell. Darmantian dispels his flames and returns to Active Mode. Darmantian thrusts the bell into the air, and soon propels himself towards the top of the clock tower, and grasps the bell; attaching it back to the hook. Darmantian and Darumaka rush over and thank Ash for his efforts to assist Darmantian.

Morning has broken and our heroes continue their journey towards Nacrene City. Ash shouts out that they should set off with spirit. Joy rushes up to the ground as they begin their departure, announcing that the demolition of the clock tower had been stopped. Joy explains that the clock tower will be repaired and returned to a habitable state for Darmantian and Darumaka. In the distance, Darmantian and Darumaka wave, wishing our heroes a safe departure.

With the help of the Darumaka, Ash and his friends have saved Darmantian. Their journey to Nacrene City, where the next Gym is located, continues.

He myös ymmärtävät, että tämä on niiltä hyvin omituista käytöstä ja Ash päättääkin selvittää syyn ruokavarkauksien takana. Ash juoksee kahden Darumakan perässä kellotorniin, joka on vanha ja määrätty pian purettavaksi. Päästyään sisälle sankarimme vakuuttavat Darumakat siitä, että ovat ystäviä ja haluavat auttaa.

Norwegian Official Summary

Mens de tar en lunsjpause på vei til Nacrene City og Ash sin neste Gym-kamp, begynner våre helters mat på mystisk vis å forsvinne. De oppdager senere, når de blir konfrontert med to Darumaka, at de to faktisk er mattyvene! Men de skjønner også at dette er svært uvanlig oppførsel for Darumaka, og Ash bestemmer seg for at han må finne ut hvorfor de stjeler mat. Ash tar opp jakten, og følger de to til klokketårnet – som er gammelt og snart skal rives. Vel inne overbeviser våre helter begge Darumaka om at de er venner og vil hjelpe dem. De oppdager snart et Darmanitan i neste etasje, som bruker Psychic til å holde oppe det som viser seg å være den gigantiske, tunge klokka i klokketårnet, som virker som om den har begynt å falle ned. Når de skjønner at de to Darumaka stjal mat og tok den med tilbake til Darmanitan for at den skulle holde seg sterk, klarere Cilans Pansage å reparere den bøyde kroken som har holdt oppe klokken, men som hadde bøyd seg. Darmanitan klarer da å løfte klokken opp på kroken, og unngår katastrofen.

Swedish Official Summary

Under en lunchpaus på väg till Nacrene City och Ashs nästa Gym-strid, börjar våra hjältars mat att mystiskt försvinna. De inser senare, när de konfronteras med två Darumaka att det i själva verket var de två Darumaka som var mattjuvarna! Men eftersom de också inser att detta är väldigt ovanligt beteende för Darumaka, beslutar sig Ash för att ta reda på orsaken till matstölderna. I en jakt följer Ash de två Darumaka till en klocktornsbyggnad – gammal och strax redo att rivas. När de går in övertygar våra hjältar de två Darumaka att de är vänner och att de vill hjälpa dem. De upptäcker snart en Darmanitan på nästa våning och den använder Psychic för att hålla uppe vad som visar sig vara den gigantiska och tunga klockan i tornet, som verkar ha börjat falla. Nu förstår de att de två Darumaka hade stulit mat och tagit den med till Darmanitan för att bibehålla dess energi och Cilans Pansage klarar att reparera den böjda krok som skulle hålla uppe klockan. Sen kan Darmanitan lyfta upp klockan på kroken och på så sätt undvika katastrof. När folket i stan förstår hur Darumaka och Darmanitan har räddat klocktornet, beslutar de sig för att renovera och ta hand om den gamla byggnaden så att de tre Pokémon kan leva där. Gladd bjuder våra hjältar dem ett ömt farväl och styr åter sin kosa mot Nacrene City och Ash nästa Gym-strid.

Danish Official Summary

I en frokostpause på vores heltes vandring mod Nacrene City og Ash’ næste Sal-kamp, begynder deres mad at forsvinde på mystisk vis. Da de senere støder på to Darumaka, indser de, at det var disse to, der stjal deres mad! De bliver dog også klar over, at det er en højst usædvanlig opførsel for Darumaka, og Ash beslutter at finde ud af, hvad der ligger til grund for madtyverierne. Ash følger efter de to Darumaka til klokketårnet, som er gammelt og snart skal rives ned. Heltene går derind og overbeviser de to Pokémon om, at de er venligtsindede og gerne vil hjælpe dem. Straks efter opdager de en Darmanitan på næste etage, som bruger Psychic til at understøtte hvad der viser sig at være tårnets enorme, tunge klokke, som åbenbart har været ved at falde ned. Det viser sig, at de to Darumaka har stjålet mad for at bringe det til Darmanitan, så den kunne holde ud. Det lykkes Cilans Pansage at reparere krogen, som før har holdt klokken oppe, men nu er blevet bøjet. Derefter kan Darmanitan løfte klokken op på plads og forhindre en sand katastrofe. Da byens borgere forstår, at de to Darumaka og Darmanitan således har reddet klokketårnet, beslutter de at renovere og vedligeholde den gamle bygning og lade de tre Pokémon bo der! Vores helte tager en hjertelig afsked med dem og vender igen blikket mod Nacrene City og Ash’ næste Sal-kamp.
