The gang wakes up in the Pokémon Center and May notices Ash and Pikachu are missing, and so she goes out to see where they are. Ash explains that he wanted to sleep outside, near Treecko and Taillow, and says that he is worried about Treecko's health. Nurse Joy arrives and tells Ash that Treecko is going to be all right and gives him his Poké Balls with his two Pokémon. Ash lets them out and apologizes for what he had done in their previous battle against Brawly. They accept it and Ash proposes that they go have breakfast.
Max approaches the group that is eating and says that he heard from Nurse Joy that Steven Stone, the son of Mr. Stone, is in a place called Granite Cave doing some secret research, to which Ash replies that they should go and meet him there. On the way to Granite Cave they come across an old man (James in disguise) who asks if they are tourists, and tells them that nearby is a famous fishing hole. He offers them rods to fish with. They accept them and start fishing as Ash lets Treecko out so that he can enjoy the sunlight.
May lands an Octillery, and looks it up in her Pokédex. Brock explains that landing a hooked Pokémon is not enough to catch it, and that it needs to be battled. Upon learning this, May sends out her Wurmple and commands it to use String Shot. The Octillery grabs Max's head with its powerful suction cups, and Wurmple mistakenly ensnares Max with the attack. Octillery takes enough time to Headbutt Max before escaping back into the sea.
Next, Ash lands a Corphish. As he begins to battle it, Corphish grabs Max with one of its claws, and he cries out that they are very strong. Pikachu attempts to use a Thunderbolt but is unable to because of Corphish's impressive speed, which it uses to attack with Crabhammer. It too returns to the water.
After that, Team Rocket is seen in the sea inside their giant Magikarp and Jessie explains (and imagines) their plan, that they're going to take the gang's rods and pull them into the water, then their Poké Balls would be floating and they would pick them up, all with the exhausted Pikachu. They become encouraged and start pulling down, but their pedals break and instead, Ash and friend pull them out of water, freaking themselves out because of the size of the Magikarp. Team Rocket gets out of their mecha and say their motto then try to steal Pikachu again, with all of their other Pokémon. May protest saying they will not touch her beautiful Wumrple and Jessie says hers is more beautiful and smarter, so a fight starts over which Wurmple is better. While they are battling Team Rocket falls down by accident and the Wurmple get swapped, Team Rocket runs away. Quickly, May notices the Wurmple she has is not hers and get worried about how her Wurmple could be doing with Team Rocket.
In the meantime, Team Rocket has not noticed it was not their Wurmple. Both May and Jessie remember the time they captured both of Wurmple. Then May shows up and tells Jessie that the Wurmple she had was May's and that they should return them back to their true Trainer. She says OK but she takes her Wurmple and again runs away, not giving May hers. The group chases them. Team Rocket had jumped in their Meowth ballon and the battle starts, they loose and May recovers her beloved Pokémon. Ash and Pikachu finish with them by using Thunderbolt and sending them flying through the air as they are used to.
The episode ends by May saying she always knew that wasn't her Wurmple because she has raised it everyday, and Brock adds that those are the bonds that tie Trainer and Pokémon.

Trivia
- Starting with this episode, Mike Pollock serves as the narrator until AG146.
- The dub title is a pun of the famous phrase "which worm is which".
- This is the first time the main characters are seen fishing in Hoenn, and by corollary the first time they have fished without Misty.
Errors
- Corphish has the lower parts of its claws red in the scenes with the blue background before it attacks Max and the two times it attacks Ash's Pikachu before jumping back in the water. The bottoms should be cream colored.
