Tribes: Plesio's Wish

Plot Synopsis
Geo and Sonia finally meet Plesio Surf face to face, and find out that he just wants the whole Loch to be quiet again. They ask him about the OOPArt, and Plesio Surf tells them that some ancient stone is hidden in a temple in the lake that gives off a lot of energy.

Meanwhile, Rich Dotcom is causing a lot of noise with construction to purposely rile up Plesio Surf. He gets his attention, and Plesio Surf starts attacking the village. MegaMan and Harp Note quickly jump to the towns rescue and fight Plesio Surf.

While they're distracted, Rich Dotcom heads to the OOPArt and steals it. The OOPArt is the Saurian artifact, and upon taking it, a giant dinosaur shaped energy field encompasses Rich's helicopter in the sky. The village people mistake this for being Messie, and assume the he is leaving the loch. With the people no longer causing a fuss, Plesio Surf releases Gerry Romero and returns to his quiet life at the sea, but unfortunately for MegaMan, one of his enemies now has a powerful weapon, but at least he now knows Blizzard Yeti's identity.

Critique
This episode kind of resolves itself a little bit too fast, but sets up more conflicts on the horizon. MegaMan and Plesio Surf just sort of stop fighting after a while for no real reason, other than Rich Dotcom getting away. Otherwise this episode is pretty run of the mill, but decent enough, and I'm glad they didn't take the time to throw in a half assed environmental message along the way. The episode at least catches your interest for where it's going next.

Rating: Thumbs up!
