<i>Ash and friends stop at a Pokémon Center where May's Skitty pops out of its Poké Ball and causes trouble. A kid that looks a lot like comes up to yell at them—and his name is also Max! The two Maxes get into a fight.


{{tt|Max|COD}} is sitting at a lake. Somewhere nearby, [[James]] wakes up to the sound of his alarm clock. He says that they are late when [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} asks why. He says that they should be at the Pokémon Center to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}. Jessie says they should go but James has his "wash the face" routine of his. Meowth does the same thing but Jessie says something to James which makes him sulk on a stump. He stands up and says when they catch Pikachu they'll see how great he is only to sulk again when the other Two {{TRT}} members were already going. May is relaxing on a large rock when Max says that she should help Joy with the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} instead. The two start an argument while a {{p|Surskit}} rushes past and May scans the creature with her [[Pokédex]]. It turns a corner and {{tt|Max|COD}} goes down to see it. Max gets mad at the sight of him and May drags him by the arm to see {{tt|Max|COD}}. She says that the two should be friends since they both love Pokémon but {{tt|Max|COD}} turns her down. Max takes his time petting Surskit but {{tt|Max|COD}} slaps his hand away. The two immediately start arguing. But May tries to stop them.
May and Max run into the other Max outside, saying hello to his Surskit. To avoid a fight, Brock suggests that everyone take out their Pokémon. Team Rocket arrives on the scene, but Skitty grabs Jessie's hair. Surskit escapes while Jessie goes berserk in another one of Team Rocket's giant contraptions, sending everyone blasting off.


Meanwhile, Team Rocket is looking at Ash and the gang with their binoculars. Then, they spot Surskit. They decide to give it to their {{an|Giovanni|Boss}} and they [[Boss fantasy|imagine what would happen]]. Brock tells them to send out all their Pokémon. {{tt|Max|COD}} then realize that Skitty is not Max's. May introduces Skitty to all of their Pokémon. After seeing its tail, Skitty begins to chase it again. May takes out the cattail but Skitty soon falls asleep.
While the kids are looking for Surskit, the other Max admits that he's jealous because he doesn't get to travel with his Pokémon. They find Surskit in a spring, but are attacked by Team Rocket again. The Maxes team up, and Surskit uses Water Pulse to break a rock dam, washing Team Rocket away.  


Team Rocket jumps out of the bush. Team Rocket explains that their goal is not Pikachu but the Surskit. They recite their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]], while getting close to Surskit and dodging the gang.  Ash tells {{AP|Treecko|Sceptile}} to use {{m|Quick Attack}} but Treecko get the ball instead. Then, Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} but TR uses an umbrella to conduct the electricity. Skitty wakes up. TR runs towards Surskit but Skitty, seeing Jessie's hair, jumps up to catch it. It messes with Jessie's hair and Jessie tries to swipe it off. After hitting James and Meowth, it falls off and Jessie runs away, crying. At this point, Surskit has run away.
Jessie emerges from the water to grab Surskit, but is hit hard by Skitty. Then a double-attack from Surskit and Pikachu sends the crooks blasting off for good.


While looking for Surskit, Team Rocket appear in a new robot with a massive mallet. Everyone starts laughing at Jessie's messed up hair which causes her to go crazy and start attacking Ash and co. with the giant mallet. Meanwhile, Max and {{tt|Max|COD}} forgive and forget and they eventually find Surskit hiding in a new water spring in the forest. The good times are short lived as Team Rocket find {{tt|Max|COD}}, Max, May and Surskit and start to attack. Cacnea begins to sink into the water spring, leaving James no choice but to return it. While this is happening, {{tt|Max|COD}} orders Surskit to use {{m|Water Pulse}} on some rocks, forcing more water to wash Team Rocket into the water.
The other Max decides to go traveling with his Surskit, and both Maxes shake hands, now good friends.</i>


Jessie then appears from the water looking and walking like a monster and tries to wrestle Surskit away from {{tt|Max|COD}}. Skitty uses {{m|DoubleSlap}} on Jessie, making her fall back into the water. With a combination of {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|BubbleBeam}}, Team Rocket get blasted away into the sky.
==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} enter a [[Pokémon Center]] near a beautiful lake. As usual, {{an|Brock}} begins to flirt with [[Nurse Joy]] and gives her a bouquet of flowers, which Nurse Joy accepts. {{an|May}} and [[Max]] sigh as {{TP|May|Skitty}} pops out of its [[Poké Ball]]. Skitty begins to chase its tail causing everyone to make an attempt to stop it. An [[Max (AG049)|angry boy]] comes in. Brock tries to get Skitty to go to him, only to get smacked in the face. Then, May takes out a {{wp|cattail}}. It tickles her and she sneezes. Max tries his luck with the cattail and succeeds. The angry kid from earlier complains about the noise the group is making. Max begins to argue with the boy until Nurse Joy asks "Max" to stop. Max is surprised that Nurse Joy knows his name, but Nurse Joy clarifies that the other kid's name is also Max. Both Maxes proceed to argue about who should change their name, and eventually the other Max leaves the Pokémon Center with a harrumph. Nurse Joy asks Max to go easy on the other Max, saying that they both love Pokémon. Brock promises Nurse Joy that he will see to it that the two Maxes make up.
 
Meanwhile, the other Max is sitting on a large rock, looking at the lake in contemplation. Somewhere nearby, [[James]] wakes up to the sound of his alarm clock. He goes through his morning routine and exclaims that it's another great day to catch {{AP|Pikachu}}. [[Jessie]] asks him what's so exciting about that, bringing down his mood. He depressingly describes their struggles on getting by day to day just to catch Pikachu, and then determinedly exclaims that today is the day they will finally catch Pikachu. He stands up, ready to go, but then realizes that while he was carrying out his monologue, the other two {{TRT}} members had already left him to go get lunch.
 
May is relaxing on a large rock while Max is still mad that the other Max has the nerve to have the same name as him. Just then, a {{p|Surskit}} skids past them, and May scans it with her [[Pokédex]]. It turns a corner and the other Max goes down to meet it. Max gets mad at the sight of him, but May just drags him by the arm to talk to the other Max. The two Maxes immediately start arguing upon seeing each other, causing May to say that the two should be friends since they both love Pokémon. Max brushes past the other Max to pet Surskit, but the other Max slaps his hand away. The two start arguing again. May tries to stop them from arguing once again, but she just ends up confused by their shared names. Ash and Brock meet up with them, and Brock tells the Maxes that it's silly that they're still arguing. This just causes the Maxes to argue even more.
 
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is watching Ash and the gang through binoculars. They spot Surskit and decide to give it to their {{an|Giovanni|Boss}} as they [[Boss fantasy|imagine how thankful he'll be]].
 
Brock stops the Maxes from arguing and says that the group should send out all their Pokémon so that they can play together. The Maxes remark on how much they love Pokémon. May introduces Skitty to all of their Pokémon. After seeing its tail, Skitty begins to chase it again. May takes out the cattail but Skitty soon falls asleep.
 
Team Rocket jumps out of the bushes, and Ash tells Pikachu to watch out. Team Rocket explains that their goal is not Pikachu, but Surskit. They recite their {{motto}} in a manner much like American football, getting close to Surskit while dodging the gang. Ash tells {{AP|Treecko}} to use {{m|Quick Attack}}, but Jessie hands Treecko the football, surprising it. Ash then tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but {{MTR}} uses an umbrella to conduct the electricity. Just then, Skitty wakes up and becomes aware of its surroundings. Team Rocket runs towards Surskit, but Skitty, seeing the end of Jessie's hair as a toy, jumps up to catch it. It messes with Jessie's hair and Jessie tries to swipe it off. After hitting James and Meowth, Skitty falls off and Jessie runs away, crying. James and Meowth run after her. The other Max points out that Surskit has run away, but has left watery tracks on the ground. He goes to chase after it. The group catches up with him, and Max explains that they want to help the other Max find Surskit.
 
Just then, Team Rocket appears in a new mecha with a massive mallet. The Maxes point out that Team Rocket scared Surskit off, causing James and Meowth to blame Jessie. Everyone starts laughing at Jessie's messed up hair which causes her to go crazy and start attacking the group with the mecha's giant mallet. The group runs away while Jessie drives after them in pursuit. She sends them flying, with Ash, Pikachu, and Brock in one group and May, Max, and the other Max in another group. Ash sends out {{AP|Taillow}} to go search for the others.
 
The other Max reveals that he was jealous of Max and the others for travelling and meeting so many Pokémon, while Max reveals that he was jealous of the other Max for being friends with Surskit. May says that it was about time they made up. Just then, they notice Team Rocket's mecha in the distance and run off to find Surskit before Team Rocket does. However, Team Rocket finds them and chases after them as the other Max leads May and Max to a spring deep in the forest. There, they find Surskit in the water.
 
Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} while James sends out his {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. May steps in to battle, but the two Maxes stop her, saying that they'll handle it. Ash's Taillow notices them and turns back to tell Ash. James tells Cacnea to use {{m|Needle Arm}}, but then notices Cacnea sinking into the water, leaving James no choice but to return it. The other Max orders Surskit to use {{m|Water Pulse}} on some rocks, forcing more water surge in and wash Team Rocket into the water.
 
Jessie then appears from the water looking and walking like a monster and tries to wrestle Surskit away from the other Max. May sends out her Skitty and has it use {{m|DoubleSlap}} on Jessie, making her fall back into the water. Ash, Brock, Pikachu, and Taillow arrive. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on Team Rocket, but Meowth blocks it once again with his umbrella. The other Max has Surskit use {{m|BubbleBeam}}, knocking the umbrella out of Meowth's hands. {{m|Thunderbolt}} finally blasts Team Rocket into the sky.
 
With the two Maxes finally friends, Ash, May, Max, and Brock say farewell to Nurse Joy and the other Max as they head towards [[Fallarbor Town]].

Blurb

Ash and friends stop at a Pokémon Center where May's Skitty pops out of its Poké Ball and causes trouble. A kid that looks a lot like comes up to yell at them—and his name is also Max! The two Maxes get into a fight.

May and Max run into the other Max outside, saying hello to his Surskit. To avoid a fight, Brock suggests that everyone take out their Pokémon. Team Rocket arrives on the scene, but Skitty grabs Jessie's hair. Surskit escapes while Jessie goes berserk in another one of Team Rocket's giant contraptions, sending everyone blasting off.

While the kids are looking for Surskit, the other Max admits that he's jealous because he doesn't get to travel with his Pokémon. They find Surskit in a spring, but are attacked by Team Rocket again. The Maxes team up, and Surskit uses Water Pulse to break a rock dam, washing Team Rocket away.

Jessie emerges from the water to grab Surskit, but is hit hard by Skitty. Then a double-attack from Surskit and Pikachu sends the crooks blasting off for good.

The other Max decides to go traveling with his Surskit, and both Maxes shake hands, now good friends.

Plot

Ash and his friends enter a Pokémon Center near a beautiful lake. As usual, Brock begins to flirt with Nurse Joy and gives her a bouquet of flowers, which Nurse Joy accepts. May and Max sigh as Skitty pops out of its Poké Ball. Skitty begins to chase its tail causing everyone to make an attempt to stop it. An angry boy comes in. Brock tries to get Skitty to go to him, only to get smacked in the face. Then, May takes out a cattail. It tickles her and she sneezes. Max tries his luck with the cattail and succeeds. The angry kid from earlier complains about the noise the group is making. Max begins to argue with the boy until Nurse Joy asks "Max" to stop. Max is surprised that Nurse Joy knows his name, but Nurse Joy clarifies that the other kid's name is also Max. Both Maxes proceed to argue about who should change their name, and eventually the other Max leaves the Pokémon Center with a harrumph. Nurse Joy asks Max to go easy on the other Max, saying that they both love Pokémon. Brock promises Nurse Joy that he will see to it that the two Maxes make up.

Meanwhile, the other Max is sitting on a large rock, looking at the lake in contemplation. Somewhere nearby, James wakes up to the sound of his alarm clock. He goes through his morning routine and exclaims that it's another great day to catch Pikachu. Jessie asks him what's so exciting about that, bringing down his mood. He depressingly describes their struggles on getting by day to day just to catch Pikachu, and then determinedly exclaims that today is the day they will finally catch Pikachu. He stands up, ready to go, but then realizes that while he was carrying out his monologue, the other two Team Rocket members had already left him to go get lunch.

May is relaxing on a large rock while Max is still mad that the other Max has the nerve to have the same name as him. Just then, a Surskit skids past them, and May scans it with her Pokédex. It turns a corner and the other Max goes down to meet it. Max gets mad at the sight of him, but May just drags him by the arm to talk to the other Max. The two Maxes immediately start arguing upon seeing each other, causing May to say that the two should be friends since they both love Pokémon.

May tries to stop them from arguing once again, but she just ends up confused by their shared names. Ash and Brock meet up with them, and Brock tells the Maxes that it's silly that they're still arguing. This just causes the Maxes to argue even more.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is watching Ash and the gang through binoculars. They spot Surskit and decide to give it to their Boss as they imagine how thankful he'll be.

Brock stops the Maxes from arguing and says that the group should send out all their Pokémon so that they can play together. The Maxes remark on how much they love Pokémon. May introduces Skitty to all of their Pokémon. After seeing its tail, Skitty begins to chase it again. May takes out the cattail but Skitty soon falls asleep.

Team Rocket jumps out of the bushes, and Ash tells Pikachu to watch out. Team Rocket explains that their goal is not Pikachu, but Surskit. They recite their motto in a manner much like American football, getting close to Surskit while dodging the gang. Ash tells Treecko to use Quick Attack, but Jessie hands Treecko the football, surprising it. Ash then tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but Meowth uses an umbrella to conduct the electricity.

The group runs away while Jessie drives after them in pursuit. She sends them flying, with Ash, Pikachu, and Brock in one group and May, Max, and the other Max in another group.

The other Max reveals that he was jealous of Max and the others for travelling and meeting so many Pokémon, while Max reveals that he was jealous of the other Max for being friends with Surskit. May says that it was about time they made up. Just then, they notice Team Rocket's mecha in the distance and run off to find Surskit before Team Rocket does. However, Team Rocket finds them and chases after them as the other Max leads May and Max to a spring deep in the forest. There, they find Surskit in the water.

Jessie sends out her Seviper while James sends out his Cacnea. May steps in to battle, but the two Maxes stop her, saying that they'll handle it.
