Ash, Misty and others in “Wings 'N' Things”

I don't see how we can expect you to just throw away your favourite Pokémon.

But what else can Zach's dad do, Ash?

Yeah.

If your dad was in some other kind of business, maybe it wouldn't seem so bad.

But he makes glass and windows.

Why'd you pick a Yanma to begin with?

It happened a few months ago when there was this really bad rainstorm. [A flashback occurs with him and his dad taking their barrow] That day, I was helping my dad deliver some glass to a town a couple miles from here. We were on our way back home, when I saw something. [Spots a Yanma lying on the ground] Hey! What's wrong? Are you okay? Yanma was soaked from the rain and it was in really bad shape. So my dad and I wrapped it up the best we could and took it home. After I got it warmed up a little, I dried Yanma's wings with a hair dryer. Pretty soon, Yanma was as good as new!

[flying off] Yan, yan.

Hey, Yanma!

Yan, yan. [Nuzzles Zach, making him giggle]

And That's all it took to tame Yanma. [The flashback ends] But, even though Yanma was easy to tame, it's a born troublemaker. [A flashback occurs to when Yanma was back to strength] As soon as it got better, Yanma broke all the glass in my father's factory, and dad told me to get rid of Yanma. Maybe I should've.

Yanma was your friend.

Right.

I can understand that.

Yeah, me too.

I convinced my dad to try and let me train Yanma to stop making shockwaves. [A flashback to when he trained Yanma occurs] Now listen up, Yanma, you can't beat your wings too fast. Understand?

Yan, yan. [Flaps its wings]

No, Yanma! You're not listening!

Yan, yan, yan.

Wait! Yanma, come back here!

Yan, yan.

Well, I tried my best, but I guess it wasn't good enough.

It's too bad there's nothing you can do.

I guess it's a long shot, but it might help if you, your dad and Yanma move someplace else.

They'd still have the same problem.

Maybe they could replace all the windows here with plastic.

Then he'd go out of business.

It's too late.

Huh?

I, I don't have any choice but to let Yanma go.

Huh?

Yanma will do just fine on it's own. I'll miss my friend, but a window maker's son isn't meant to be a Yanma trainer.

Guess you're right.
