Plot
As a massive spirit forms in the sky,Giovanni is surprised to see his ownBadge react to the energy, andLance roars with laughter and triumph. Lance reveals that theElite Four had schemed to collect all theGym Leaders' Badges in a similar fashion toTeam Rocket's own plan to amplify the energy of the Badges, and that he was only missing Giovanni's Earth Badge. All the other Badges were laid out in a giant formation onCerise Island, and Giovanni moving into the center of the volcanic crater had completed the formation.
Elsewhere,Sabrina uses her psychic powers to realize thatAgatha andBruno have likewise been defeated, and leaves.Green remarks that she didn't get to use all her Pokémon, including aSnubbull, before noticing the spirit in the sky and begins to chase after it.
Giovanni, unable to counterattack, merely leaves. Lance is dismissive of Giovanni and reveals his master plan to Yellow: to communicate with theLegendary Pokémon now flying over the island and command it to lay waste toKanto. Horrified, Yellow tries to plead with Lance, but he merely flies up with hisAerodactyl and leaves hisDragonite to hold Yellow back.
Yellow begsDragonite to let her pass, but notices that Dragonite has been badly injured after shielding Lance from the lava, and has been hiding its injuries from Lance. Yellow clings to Dragonite as it takes off after Lance, reading its mind to see that Dragonite shares Lance's perspective and is loyal in helping him in his plans to eliminate mankind. Yellow is adamant that people and Pokémon can coexist, and implores her Pokémon to help her show Lance.
Reaching the spirit with Lance, Yellow surprises Lance with her appearance and is quickly attacked. However, Yellow releasesKitty who, evolving into aMetapod, shields her from the blast. Yellow acknowledges that withoutRed'sPokédex, she can no longer cancel her Pokémon'sEvolutions, and begs them to lend her their power in stopping Lance. Dody, Omny, Gravvy, andKitty evolve into their final forms, and Yellow begins her final battle against Lance in the sky.
