As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} are nearing [[Mt. Silver]] and the [[Silver Conference]], they decide to stop at a [[Pokémon Center]]. The group decides to call [[Professor Elm]]. The Professor admires how well {{AP|Larvitar}} is doing, making a point of its gain in self-confidence. Elm gives Ash instructions as to what to do when the group reaches the top of the mountain, right before ending the call. Just then, a {{pkmn|Trainer}} approaches them and makes the assumption that the group is on their way to the Silver Conference. The boy wastes no time in challenging Ash to a {{pkmn|battle}}.
It's still a few ways from Mt. Silver, but luckily a Pokemon Center is just in the middle of the road. During the rest period, {{Ash}} calls up Prof. Elm to tell him about the things he saw during his short trip here. After the talk with Elm, the gang decides to settle down for a little lunch. But before they could do that, a trainer comes up to them and challenges Ash to a battle. Ash gladly accepts and they go outside just at the small battling ground. {{an|Brock}}, as always, refs the match. The rules for this one is sudden death, only one Pokemon and that's it. And as tradition goes, the boy says he's [[Satchel]], while Ash introduces himself. The battle starts off,  [[Satchel]] using {{p|Magby}}. Ash sends out {{AP|Cyndaquil}}.


{{an|Misty}} was a little surprised that Ash chose Cyndaquil when he could've easily chosen {{AP|Totodile}}. But either way, Ash is confident of winning. Ash starts off the match by telling {{AP|Cyndaquil}} to use Quick Attack. Magby is hit hard and tries to get an attack on Cyndaquil but Cyndaquil shoots a Swift before Magby could do anything. Magby gets knocked back but quickly gets up and unleashes a Flamethrower. Cyndaquil does the same and it's left at a flame tug-of-war. (sorta) Magby manages to win the stand still but Cyndaquil manages to pull back before it's too late. Cyndaquil tries to Tackle Magby, but Magby does Double Team and ends up confusing Cyndaquil. Ash says just go for whatever is best and Cyndaquil Tackles on one side, which is just an illusion. Cyndaquil soon gets caught by surprise with Magby's Dynamic Punch, knocking Cyndaquil.
Just outside of the Center, the boy introduces himself as [[Satchel]]. The boys take their places at opposite ends of a battle field. Satchel sends out his {{p|Magby}}, prompting Ash to consult his [[Pokédex]]. Having learned of Magby's typing, a {{type2|Fire}}, Ash decides to send out {{AP|Cyndaquil}}. {{an|Misty}} is surprised by his choice in {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, wondering why Ash didn't choose his {{AP|Totodile}} to battle Magby. On the other hand, Satchel commends Ash in his "fighting Fire with Fire" strategy.  


[[Satchel]] congrats his Magby on winning the match. But it's not quite enough. The gang wonders what  [[Satchel]] is talking about. He says that he wants Magby to become a {{p|Magmar}} so that he can be more powerful. After all, Dynamic Punch is a wasted move if Magby stays the way he is. He says maybe he should train up Cyndaquil as well, after all Ash can't rely on speed and tatics forever.
{{an|Brock}}, acting as [[Battle judge|referee]], signals the start of the battle. Cyndaquil dodges Magby's {{m|Flamethrower}}, and counters with a {{m|Quick Attack}}; Satchel is impressed. Ash tells Cyndaquil to use a {{m|Swift}} attack, and then its own Flamethrower. Satchel orders Magby to use its Flamethrower once more and the two Pokémon's attacks meet, resulting in an ascending cascade of fire. Magby's [[Move|attack]] eventually prevails, but Cyndaquil manages to jump out of the way before it is damaged. Ash has his Pokémon use {{m|Tackle}}, and Satchel responds by ordering Magby to use {{m|Double Team}}. Cyndaquil stops in its tracks as Magby's copies surround it, and begin running in a circle. Taking a chance, Ash orders Cyndaquil to go after one of the Magby; Cyndaquil attacks a fake, and Magby's attack is disrupted. Appearing from behind Cyndaquil, Magby is told to use its {{m|DynamicPunch}}. The attack strikes Cyndaquil dead-center; Cyndaquil is unable to battle, and Satchel is declared the victor.


Later, Ash thinks over what  [[Satchel]] told him while Cyndaquil rests. He wonders about just training some of his Pokemon, but how? Then he notices a trainer in the distance with a Quilava. The trainer simply throws a frisbee as the Quilava tries to nail it down with a few Flamethrowers. Ash soon gets an idea on how to work things out.
After the battle, Ash decides that his Cyndaquil is in need of a long rest. Satchel approaches Ash and commends him on his training of Cyndaquil, its speed, and the battling as a whole. Ash shows similar praise for Magby, and its range of attacks. Although happy, Satchel expresses his goal to get his Magby to [[Evolution|evolve]] into a {{p|Magmar}}. A fellow Trainer on his way to the Silver Conference, Satchel states that, as a Magby, his Pokémon won't be strong enough to compete against the stronger Pokémon that they will surely face. This is explained by Brock the reason why Satchel is trying to battle as much as possible. Satchel feels sure that the battle that Ash and he just had will aid a lot on Magby's way to evolution.  


Meanwhile, Misty and Brock watch over Larvitar as he eats his lunch. They soon see Ash with all his Pokemon following him. They look another way and notice that a lot of trainers with their Pokemon are preparing for some training. After watching a bit, Togepi starts to look around. Misty notices and sees that Larvitar walked off! Larvitar wants to train too and so he goes up there and watches the others. However, a Voltorb and Electrode pop out from some of the bushes. Soon enough, Larvitar is the attraction of the trainer crowd. Misty and Brock find Larvitar but soon a vacuum forms and all the Pokemon including [[Satchel]]'s Magby get dragged towards a direction!
A little while later, Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Cyndaquil are seen poolside, Cyndaquil recuperating from its battle. Ash seems worried about the upcoming Silver Conference. While he knows that Cyndaquil has "awesome" strengths, he divulges the same worry that Satchel had earlier regarding his unevolved Pokémon. All of a sudden, Ash spots an unknown Trainer with his {{p|Quilava}}, the evolved form of Cyndaquil. Seeing this, Ash conjures the determination from within him to get his Pokémon to evolve. Returning to the group, Ash announces that it's time for some "special training", and herds all of his Pokémon and head to a field. All of Ash's Pokémon are paired with a training partner to battle with: {{AP|Noctowl}} with Pikachu, Totodile with Cyndaquil, and {{AP|Phanpy}} with {{AP|Bayleef}}.


Ash is training Noctowl to dodge attacks (using Pikachu as the attacker) until he hears Misty and Brock in the distance mention Larvitar. He soon runs up there and catches Larvitar. Soon the perpitrators show themselves, and it's Team Rocket! Ash tries to get away from the vacuum but he can't and almost flies away, but Bayleef as well as the rest of Ash's Pokemon grab onto him and try to pull him. The vacuum is turned on to a higher setting and Cyndaquil gets caught in it as well! Cyndaquil flies ahead of Ash and Ash puts down Larvitar to try to get after Cyndaquil, but both are swallowed in the vacuum. Larvitar does get sucked in, but he manages to stay on the outside. Misty, Brock, and  [[Satchel]] try to follow the Rockets but it's no use.
Off in the distance, {{TRT}} can be seen from behind some bushes in a wooded area. [[Jessie]] spots multiple Trainers, most with evolved Pokémon, training in the field. Jessie, [[James]], and {{MTR}} decide then that they are going to steal all of the Pokémon belonging to the training Pokémon Trainers, along with Pikachu.  


Far away, the Rockets lower their prize of Pokemon into a truck. Larvitar successfully remains hidden. As for Ash, the Rockets leave him tied up in the cottage that was there. The Rockets pile in the truck cabin and Larvitar makes his move. He bites one tire of the truck and digs a hole. Just as [[James]] turns the key, the truck tilts, looks like something's up. Larvitar breaks through into the cabin from underground and Ash is glad to see him. The Rockets on the other hand notice that the tire went flat, and it looks like Meowth and James are going to have to work on it.
Brock and Misty, having been distracted by Ash's training, notice that Larvitar has wandered off. Having made its way to the field in which the other Trainers are training, Larvitar is startled by a {{p|Voltorb}}; the Trainers take notice of the seemingly [[Rarity|rare]] Pokémon. Brock and Misty come to Larvitar's rescue just before any of the Trainers decide they want to make a newly [[Caught Pokémon]] out of it. Just then, a sudden gust of wind drag all of the Pokémon through the field. Ash soon takes notice of the ordeal, and runs to save Larvitar. He is, however, soon swept up by the wind as well; Bayleef grabs onto Ash with its {{m|Vine Whip}}. Just as Ash is pondering what could be causing the wind, Team Rocket appear in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]] and recite a variation of their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]]. It is revealed that a mecha attached to the balloon is being used to suck all of the Trainers' Pokémon up, including Satchel's Magby; Ash's Pokémon are left on the ground. Ash orders Cyndaquil to use its Flamethrower on Team Rocket, but Meowth has it sucked into the machine before it gets a chance to attack; Ash is also sucked up, Larvitar in hand, but gets stuck. Larvitar manages to land on top of the machine without getting sucked inside. Heading off into the distance, Team Rocket, Ash, and all of the Pokémon, are followed on foot by Brock, Misty, and Satchel.


As for the rest of the group, they have no luck finding the Rockets. Noctowl goes and scouts to try and find them.
Team Rocket is seen beside a cabin lowering the Pokémon into a truck. It appears as if Jessie has tied Ash up, and left him within the cabin. Outside, Team Rocket is admiring the load of Pokémon they have stolen. They express their pride in their plan of using a truck to haul the Pokémon away, thinking no one would ever catch them. Moving to the front of the truck, Larvitar approaches the vehicle and {{m|Bite|bites}} down on the rear tire. To the surprise of Team Rocket, the truck leans drastically; Larvitar quickly {{m|Dig|digs}} underground. Ash, wondering what's going on outside the cabin, is surprised to see Larvitar appear from beneath the floorboards. Using its Bite, Larvitar frees Ash from his rope constraints. Ash is both very happy to have been saved by Larvitar, and angry that it would put itself in so much danger. Just then, Brock, Misty, and Satchel are shown to not have found anything; their hopes now lie in Noctowl's wings.


Larvitar eats through the rope and frees Ash. Ash thanks Larvitar at first but tells him he should've ran away instead of followed. But either way, Ash is happy that Larvitar could handle a task like that. Now time to get to work. While James and Meowth work on the tire, Ash tells Larvitar to go tell Cyndaquil and Magby to melt the glass. Larvitar runs up and climbs in the back. Cyndaquil and Magby go up to the glass and Larvitar tells them what Ash said. Soon the two Pokemon use Flamethrower on the glass. However, James and Meowth are already done! Larvitar goes out and bites the tire again and goes and goes around the other side. Once more, the truck leans and the Rockets check it out. But by that time the two fire Pokemon burnt a hole in the glass. All the Pokemon get out, but they hide out of view in the compartment.
Team Rocket is flabbergasted as to why the tire was flattened; Jessie promptly tells James and Meowth to fix it. Sneaking up from behind the cabin, Ash tells Larvitar to have Cyndaquil and Magby use Flamethrower to melt the glass blocking their escape from the machine. Larvitar agrees and digs underground, moving towards the vehicle until just behind it. The Pokémon jumps up into the truck, and conveys Ash's message to the Fire-types. Magby and Cyndaquil begin their attempt at escape. Having finished changing the tire, Team Rocket load back into the front of the truck and are ready to leave. To prevent this, Larvitar bites down on the exact tire that had just been changed, inhibiting their vehicle once again. As Jessie "supervises" the changing of tires once again, Noctowl spots from above the site at which Team Rocket are preparing to take off with the Pokémon. Alerted by the {{type2|Flying}}, Brock, Misty, and Satchel head on their way to save Ash and the stolen Pokémon from Team Rocket.


By this time, Noctowl finds the Rockets and heads back. Soon the rest of the gang are on their way. While they check the tire, the Rockets hear a noise in the back. They check it out but as soon as [[Jessie]] sticks her head in, the fire Pokemon burn her up. Soon the Pokemon hop out and join Ash. The Rockets obviously aren't going to give up without a ffight. Fortunately for Ash, Misty ,Brock, and [[Satchel]] make it in time. [[Jesse]] sends out her Arbok and James with Weezing.
With help on the way, the Fire Pokémon duo of Cyndaquil and Magby have melted a hole in their cage; the stolen Pokémon (Cyndaquil, Magby, a {{p|Furret}}, Voltorb, a {{p|Quagsire}}, a {{p|Machoke}}, and a {{p|Scizor}}) escape. Having heard the commotion in the back of the truck, Team Rocket goes to investigate. Ash tells Larvitar from behind the cabin that the Pokémon have to hide. To Team Rocket's surprise, their is a hole in their machine and all of the Pokémon are nowhere to be found. As Jessie inspects the machine, Cyndaquil and Magby pop out and greet her with a Flamethrower attack in her face. Ash runs out from behind the cabin and orders the Pokémon to flee from the truck. With all of the stolen Pokémon on his side, Ash tells Team Rocket that he is leaving and taking all of the Pokémon with him. Jessie doesn't like this and sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}; James then proceeds to send out his {{TP|James|Weezing}}. Arbok's Bite attack, and Weezing's Tackle attack, are then ordered by their Trainers. All of a sudden, Noctowl swoops down and strikes the two {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon, Brock, Misty, Satchel, and the rest of Ash's Pokémon in tow. A {{m|Poison Sting}} attack from Arbok, as well as a {{m|Sludge}} attack from Weezing, is successfully countered by a Flamethrower from Magby. Ash then orders Phanpy to Tackle Arbok and Weezing into Team Rocket, and then Totodile uses its {{m|Water gun}} on the group. Jessie retaliates by swinging Arbok by its tail, essentially using a "fling attack". Satchel orders his Magby to use DynamicPunch and hits Arbok away. Reeling from its successful attack, Magby begins to evolve; everyone is shocked. Unwilling to give up, Team Rocket sends their Pokémon to attack once more. Arbok's {{m|Take Down}} is no match for Magmar's Flamethrower, a Flamethrower stronger than any other seen before. Ash orders Cyndaquil to "finish them off" with its own Flamethrower, causing an explosion that blasts Team Rocket off into the distance.


Arbok strikes first as well as Weezing, but Magby takes care of them with one Dynamic Punch. But after that, something happens to Magby. Magby soon evovles into Magmar! The Rockets are a little confused, but it's no problem.  [[Satchel]] cheers on for his newly gotten Magmar and says that now his power's better. Knowing that, Jesse picks up her Arbok by the tail and hurls it towards the Magmar. Magmar simply takes care of Arbok, and then the Rockets with one more Dynamic Punch.
All of the stolen Pokémon are reunited with their owners.


All is well as everyone's Pokemon get runited with their trainers. [[Satchel]] follows Ash during the treck to Mt. Silver until there's a split in the road. [[Satchel]] says he'll go his seperate ways from here, and he thanks Ash for helping him out with Magmar. After seeing [[Satchel]] go, Ash takes the other path.
As Ash and company are readying to head off, the group and Satchel part ways. Misty proclaims that Ash has found a new [[rival]] in Satchel. Despite Brock's claims of struggle Ash will probably face in the Silver Conference if facing Satchel, Ash shows confidence that he can beat anyone that comes his way. Ash has realized that even though his Pokémon haven't evolved, they have the power and heart to win if he uses their power in the right ways. The group head on their way to the peaks of Mt. Silver.

Synopsis

As Ash and his friends are nearing Mt. Silver and the Silver Conference, they decide to stop at a Pokémon Center. The group decides to call Professor Elm. The Professor admires how well Larvitar is doing, making a point of its gain in self-confidence. Elm gives Ash instructions as to what to do when the group reaches the top of the mountain, right before ending the call. Just then, a Trainer approaches them and makes the assumption that the group is on their way to the Silver Conference. The boy wastes no time in challenging Ash to a battle.

Just outside of the Center, the boy introduces himself as Satchel. The boys take their places at opposite ends of a battle field. Satchel sends out his Magby, prompting Ash to consult his Pokédex. Having learned of Magby's typing, a Template:Type2, Ash decides to send out Cyndaquil. Misty is surprised by his choice in Pokémon, wondering why Ash didn't choose his Totodile to battle Magby. On the other hand, Satchel commends Ash in his "fighting Fire with Fire" strategy.
