Recognizing them as travelers, Julie invites them to rest at her ranch for a bit. Interested in the Numel, {{an|Brock}} and [[Max]] get some first hand experience on their physiology by helping Julie do her daily chores. Meanwhile May decides that the best way to redirect her Skitty's energy would be by teaching it how to {{pkmn|battle}}. She asks Ash to battle with her, but Julie arrives and asks her to battle with her {{p|Furret}} instead. During the battle, May discovers that Skitty knows an attack called {{m|Assist}}, which allows it to copy attacks her other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} know, like {{TP|May|Torchic}}'s {{m|Ember}} or {{TP|May|Beautifly}}'s {{m|Silver Wind}}. However, even Assist isn't enough to turn the battle around, and Furret easily defeats Skitty.

However, even Assist isn't enough to turn the battle around, and Furret easily defeats Skitty.


Elsewhere, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} find the Numel Ranch as well, and decided to steal the Numel so they can make money selling them as personal heaters. Late at night they sneak onto the ranch and begin stealing the Numel using a gigantic [[Team Rocket's mechas|Numel shaped robot]]. Hearing the machine's noise, Furret and {{AP|Pikachu}} manage to wake everybody up, and they stumble out of bed to confront the [[Team Rocket|Rocket Trio]]. Ash orders Pikachu to attack the machine with {{m|Thunderbolt}} but finds that it has no effect. With all of the Numel inside their robot, Team Rocket prepares to leave. Suddenly Skitty runs towards the machine and latches onto one of its arms. May rushes after Skitty, and the two wind up being trapped in the machine as well. With May, Skitty, and the Numel trapped inside their machine, Team Rocket beats a hasty retreat. Intent on getting her Numel back, Julie gets into her truck, and with Ash and the rest in the back they begin to follow Team Rocket's trail.

Inside the robot, May and Skitty try to rouse the sleeping Numel. They finally manage to do it, but the Numel fall back asleep after Team Rocket uses a hidden sprinkler system to cool down their bodies. Thinking quickly, May orders Skitty to use Assist to hit one of the Numel with Ember. The attack wakes it up and the Numel quickly wakes up the remaining Numel with {{m|Flamethrower}}. The Numel begin to melt through the side of the robot with their {{t|Fire}} attacks, causing Team Rocket to use the sprinkler system again. This time May is prepared, and has Skitty destroy the sprinkler with {{m|DoubleSlap}}. Combining their Flamethrowers, the Numel succeed in destroying the robot and are able to escape. Climbing out of the wreckage, Team Rocket prepares to recapture the Numel, but are interrupted by the arrival of Julie's truck. Jessie and James call out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}} to battle, but the combined forces of Furret and Pikachu are enough to send them blasting off again.

=== Errors ===
===Dub edits===
* The Trainer's Choice question was, "Which Pokémon is the best choice to battle {{p|Kirlia}}?", and suggested answers were {{p|Togetic}}, {{p|Combusken}} and {{p|Graveler}}. Judging by type effectiveness and Generation III learnsets, the given answer ({{p|Combusken}}) is at least doubtful, since Kirlia is a {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon and Combusken is a {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} Pokémon. This makes Combusken vulnerable to Psychic attacks and, additionally, in Generation III it could not learn any attacks that Kirlia is vulnerable to. The best choice of the three would actually be Togetic, given that it can learn the Psychic-weakening {{m|Shadow Ball}} by TM and resists the {{t|Grass}} moves that Kirlia is able to learn, which {{p|Graveler}} the only other choice, is double weak to.
* In the [[Pokémon in South Asia|Hindi Hungama TV dub]] of the episode, Julie says that Assist can execute any random move, instead of stating that it can only randomly select and perform moves already known to the other members of the Trainer's party.
** Kirlia, however, can learn moves such as {{m|Shock Wave}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}} that are super effective against Togetic via TM. The TM capabilities of these Pokémon leave the given answers for this Trainer's Choice disputable.
*In one scene the "pins" on May's Skitty's tail were the same color as its body.
*When Team Rocket leaves with their robot,they yell about promotions and everything they usually talk about.However,this time they actually wanted to sell the Numel, not to give them to the boss.

====[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]====
* Question: Trainers, which Pokémon is the best choice to battle {{p|Kirlia}}?

Blurb

Ash and friends are fleeing a group of rampaging Slugma along the Fiery Path, when they escape down a hill and end up on a Numel ranch. They are greeted by the owner Julie and her Furret.

Brock and Max offer to help with the chores on the ranch while Julie and May have a Pokémon battle. May looks up attacks in her Pokédex, and orders Skitty to use the move Assist against Julie's Furret. To May's surprise, Skitty uses Ember, then Silver Wind. Julie defeats May in the battle, and explains that the move Assist allows a Pokémon to use any of the moves known by their Trainer's other Pokémon.

That night, while everyone is sleeping, Team Rocket shows up in a robotic Numel to steal the sleeping Numel. The kids wake up, and try to stop them. May and Skitty are captured by the robot.

Inside the robot, Skitty wakes up the still-sleeping Numel and they try to escape. Team Rocket activates internal sprinklers to prevent the Numel from using their Ember attacks. Skitty uses Assist to recharge, and the Numel burn through the robot's shell to break free.

Team Rocket tries to battle May and her friends, but they are quickly zapped by Pikachu. The next morning, Julie gives the kids directions to Lavaridge Town and they depart.

Plot

While traveling through the Fiery Path to Lavaridge Town, Ash and his friends find themselves being chased by an angry group of Slugma after May's Skitty playfully attacks one. After a narrow escape Ash finds an exit from the cave, which brings them to a Numel ranch owned by a woman named Julie. Recognizing them as travelers, Julie invites them to rest at her ranch for a bit. Interested in the Numel, Brock and Max get some first hand experience on their physiology by helping Julie do her daily chores. Meanwhile May decides that the best way to redirect her Skitty's energy would be by teaching it how to battle. She asks Ash to battle with her, but Julie arrives and asks her to battle with her Furret instead. During the battle, May discovers that Skitty knows an attack called Assist, which allows it to copy attacks her other Pokémon know, like Torchic's Ember or Beautifly's Silver Wind. However, even Assist isn't enough to turn the battle around, and Furret easily defeats Skitty.

Elsewhere, Jessie, James, and Meowth find the Numel Ranch as well, and decided to steal the Numel so they can make money selling them as personal heaters. Late at night they sneak onto the ranch and begin stealing the Numel using a gigantic Numel shaped robot. Hearing the machine's noise, Furret and Pikachu manage to wake everybody up, and they stumble out of bed to confront the Team Rocket. Ash orders Pikachu to attack the machine with Thunderbolt but finds that it has no effect. With all of the Numel inside their robot, Team Rocket prepares to leave. Suddenly Skitty runs towards the machine and latches onto one of its arms. May rushes after Skitty, and the two wind up being trapped in the machine as well. With May, Skitty, and the Numel trapped inside their machine, Team Rocket beats a hasty retreat. Intent on getting her Numel back, Julie gets into her truck, and with Ash and the rest in the back they begin to follow Team Rocket's trail.

Inside the robot, May and Skitty try to rouse the sleeping Numel. They finally manage to do it, but the Numel fall back asleep after Team Rocket uses a hidden sprinkler system to cool down their bodies. Thinking quickly, May orders Skitty to use Assist to hit one of the Numel with Ember. The attack wakes it up and the Numel quickly wakes up the remaining Numel with Flamethrower. The Numel begin to melt through the side of the robot with their Fire attacks, causing Team Rocket to use the sprinkler system again. This time May is prepared, and has Skitty destroy the sprinkler with DoubleSlap. Combining their Flamethrowers, the Numel succeed in destroying the robot and are able to escape. Climbing out of the wreckage, Team Rocket prepares to recapture the Numel, but are interrupted by the arrival of Julie's truck. Jessie and James call out Seviper and Cacnea to battle, but the combined forces of Furret and Pikachu are enough to send them blasting off again.

The next morning, Julie shows them the route to Mt. Chimney and Lavaridge Town. After waving goodbye, Ash and his friends continue on their way.
