There, it was a traditional rite of passage for a young trainer to be given a Pokémon, and to go on a journey where they would grow together. A trainer had to raise the Kibago he/she was given into an {{p|Ononokus}}, a proof that the trainer had grown to fully understand its Pokémon and its heart.

Synopsis
As Ash and his friends are on their way to Shippou City, Dent and Iris had stopped somewhere in the forest to battle. Ash, observing them from the side, questions why he isn't the one battling. Iris tells him that he is too serious, and a Volt Tackle from Pikachu would be unbearable for Kibago. She then commands Kibago to use Scratch on Yanappu. Slowly, Kibago trots over, and Yanappu starts firing its Bullet Seed - one seed at a time. However, before Kibago could even reach Yanappu, the extremely gentle Bullet Seed attack proved too much for Kibago, and Kibago starts crying. Iris runs over to console Kibago and Ash hears her telling Kibago that it was only a practice. Dent then explains that they are practicing so as to get Kibago used to battle, and it was agreed previously that only 'soft' attacks at twenty percent will used. Ash claims that battles are more productive when full effort is being put in, and Iris rebukes him for being so ungentlemanly and acting like a small kid. Dent tells Ash that as one of Kibago's first battles, they should let Iris decide how it should be conducted, which Ash nevertheless agrees.
When Kibago is feeling better, Iris tells Kibago to perform another Scratch attack on Yanappu. Slowly, Kibago trots over to Yanappu, when the latter blocks its attacks by grabbing the fin on its head. As Kibago flails its arms around, Iris complains and requests Dent to be more serious. Dent tells them that they are being serious; this is the strategy they usually employ in Gym battles: to block the opponent's attacks then follow up with a close-ranged attack. Yanappu then charges its SolarBeam. As Iris panics, Ash asks if Kibago knows any other moves it could use to counter. Iris then claims that it has one other move, but while contemplating on whether or not to use it, Yanappu unleashes the SolarBeam attack which it had been charging: a tiny fleck of light which hits Kibago squarely in the head and causes it to roll over. Shortly after, Ash tells Iris to let Kibago use 'the other move' as using a variety of moves is also part of training. Frustrated, Iris orders Kibago to use Dragon Rage. Kibago starts charging energy, its belly glowing in blue light. As its mouth gapes open, ready to launch the attack at Yanappu, it suddenly blunders, causing a gigantic explosion and a large crater to form. All but Kibago were then covered in soot.
Meanwhile in an abandoned building, Jessie, James and Meowth are huddled together in front of a computer-like device. Giovanni appears on the screen, and instructs the Team Rocket trio to travel to the Resort Desert. As it appears, the Resort Desert is at the center of an energy flow with the same energy signature as the one found at the Site of Dreams. Obtaining such an energy is a key component of Team Rocket's ultimate plan, and as such, they are to meet up with another Team Rocket agent to investigate a meteorite fragment that is located there.
Taking a break, Iris glumly explains that Kibago has not mastered Dragon Rage yet. Ash and Dent then joke that it was more like a "sneeze" than a "rage", which only offends Iris. As Iris is troubled by Kibago's Dragon Rage, she reveals to them that Kibago only knows the two moves it had used earlier on, and with regard to its Dragon Rage, it always explodes instead of being shot out as a ball. Iris was hoping that by taking things slowly, it would gradually improve its performance. Meanwhile, Kibago returns with fruits it had plucked from a tree, and was praised by Dent. It then returns to the tree to pluck more fruits.
As Ash and Dent comments positively on Kibago's potential, Ash then offers to battle with Iris' Kibago. However, Iris refuses to, and says she does not want to lose. Ash and Dent then became curious as to how she got Kibago in the first place. She then explains that it was given to her by the old matriarch from her hometown, a place which specialized in raising Dragon-typed Pokémon. There, it was a traditional rite of passage for a young trainer to be given a Pokémon, and to go on a journey where they would grow together. A trainer had to raise the Kibago he/she was given into an Ononokus, a proof that the trainer had grown to fully understand its Pokémon and its heart. As they had already left their hometown for some time, Iris became concerned about how Kibago was developing and thus requested to battle Dent. She then realizes that Kibago had disappeared.
Meanwhile, Kibago is standing on a thin branch, trying to pick a cluster of fruit near the edge of the branch. As it inched closer and stretched out, Pikachu cries out in warning. A while later, Kibago finally moves close enough and grabs one of the fruit. However, the branch it was standing on now bends threateningly low; as the stalk of the fruit cleaves from the tree, the branch springs up, and Kibago loses balance, tumbling down into the bush below and into between the horns of a sleeping Pokémon. Alarmed, the gigantic purple centipede-like Pokémon awakes from its slumber and shakes its head rapidly and violently, trying very hard to free Kibago from its horns.
For a moment the bug Pokémon tried to escape, Pikachu jumps off the tree and attacks it with Iron Tail. Enraged, it charges at Pikachu but miss, sending the tree behind flying into the air. Pikachu tries to run away, and Kibago attempts a Dragon Rage attack on its captor. However, once again, the attack explodes before it could be launched.
The group notice the explosion, and realizing where Pikachu and Kibago were, they run towards it. Pikachu comes running in the opposite direction, and upon seeing Ash, he tries to explain what had happened. The gigantic bug Pokémon pops out from behind a bush and Kibago is heard screaming, apparently being shaken wildly again. Ash checks his Pokédex and realize its called a Pendra.
Pendra appears in front of the group and begins chasing the group, firing Toxic globs that dissolves rocks and the nearby foliage. Ash and Dent then attempt to battle it and rescue Kibago, using Yanappu and Tsutarja. Yanappu starts by firing Bullet Seed at its feet, and while the wild Pendra finches, Tsutarja grabs its horns. However, Pendra proved too strong against Tsutarja when it spun her around wildly, thereby causing her to faint from dizziness. Pendra then continues its rampage. As it approaches Ash and Dent, Iris steps in front of them and takes out another Poké Ball, hesitating to send the Pokémon out. After Ash had reminded her about the urgency of the situation, she plucks up her courage and hurls the Poké Ball into the air, releasing a curled up Pokémon. Ash then checks his Pokédex, and it was revealed to be a Doryuzu.
Iris begs the stationary Doryuzu to assist her in saving Kibago. However, after being ignored, she decides to help Kibago herself and devises a plan. Yannapu starts charging SolarBeam while Ash sends out Pokabu. Together with Pikachu, Pokabu attacks Pendra at its feet, delaying its advance and giving Dent's Yanappu time to launch its SolarBeam to stop the Pendra in its tracks. Right from above, Iris grabs a vine and swings over Pendra's head, grabbing Kibago's leg and then landing safety. The team then celebrate; Ash recalls his Pokabu and Dent, his Yanappu.
However, their celebration of Kibago's rescue was short-lived, as Pendra recovers and turns to Iris, ready to attack. It brushes its hind feet against the ground in preparation to charge, but doing so, it accidentally knocks Doryuzu and sends it rolling away. Agitated, Doryuzu burrows underground and surfaces, hitting Pendra in the face. The two Pokémon stare at each other, eyes glowing with fury; a battle is about to ensue. Ash asks Iris to give commands, but Iris simply states that Doryuzu will not listen to her, and as such, the team watches as Pendra launches another Toxic attack at Doryuzu. Doryuzu, being a partial Steel-type Pokémon, is not affected by Poison-type attacks, and dispels the toxic away. Doryuzu then uses Drill Liner, before tossing a charging Pendra into the sky and across the forest as it tries to use a counter-attack. Doryuzu lets out a victorious roar, and as the group express their gratitude towards it, it stares into the sky for a while before grunting and returning back to its dormant drill-like state. Iris recalls Doryuzu.
Dent then encourages Iris to train at her own pace with both Kibago and Doryuzu, when Ash offers to battle them. Iris refuses again, telling Ash that if he wants to battle so badly, then he should battle with Pikachu. Taking her comment literally, Ash excitedly agrees and both trainer and Pokémon stand across each other in the open ground, taking their places and ready to battle. Ash tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, and subsequently Volt Tackle on him, to which the Electric Mouse Pokémon complies. Dent comments that they both are a truly unique couple while Iris is awestruck that they took her seriously. The two then continue to battle as both Iris and Dent watch, speechless.
