Chapter 18 - Episode 17: Cocoon

The 6 kids hang from the trees, all struggling  to get rid of the silk covering them. Leon tries to light the string on fire but for some reason it doesn't work.

Weedle girl: Una, you still have a chance to reconsider, he won't find out you tried to leave and you'll be safe.

Weedle boy: Though your friends and this Pikachu kid can't go around telling the secrets of the forest, so they got to go.

Weedle girl: He might like the Ivysaur girl, so lets not kill her till we get his approval.

A little Caterpie comes along scurrying around the forest but the 2 Weedles quickly deal with it using Poison Sting. Otto uses the opportunity to use Mirror Move and shoot a Poison Sting to free Leon. Leon quickly tries to burn the strings of the others but only manages to free Una, who was already cutting through with her hardened armor, before Fre attempted to stop them. Una grabs Leon and dashes away far from their friends and enemies.

Leon: What are you doing, we need to go get the rest of them!

Una: Hold on, I have and idea. I left something in a hiding spot under a tree stump that'll get through the reinforced strings.

Leon: What could you have that could get through what my fire couldn't?

Una: Just wait and see.

Back with the rest of the group, they still struggle to free themsleves while the Weedles go search for Una and Leon. Fre is watching them making sure no more can escape.

Wart: Ivy, can you use Razor Leaf to cut these?

Ivy: Nope, my flower is covered so I can't even do that.

Pikachu boy: Hey I have an idea.

They all look confused as the boy just begins to scream at the top of his lungs, getting the attention of Fre who shuts him up with a String Shot to cover his mouth. He then uses the string to send a direct Thunder Shock into her, knocking her out.

Pikachu boy: Ivysaur girl can you sprout some vines to get something from my pocket?

Ivy: Sure.

Ivy manages to grab a sharp tool from him and cuts them all free.

Pikachu boy: I found this under a tree stump and thought it could get use out.

Otto: He's like a mini Leon.

Wart: What's your name kid?

Pikachu boy: I'm Rai and I'm gonna be the Indigo League champion!
