Synopsis
Template:Incomplete synopsis
The gang is nearing Petalburg and Ash is excited about his battle with Norman. During a picnic, Ash notices Treecko isn’t very happy due to its defeat by a Gulpin. Before Ash can make it feel better, a Loudred rampages through the camp followed by its Trainer Guy. While he is able to calm Loudred down, Guy is worried as since it evolved from Whismur, it’s become increasingly disobedient. Ash and Guy decide to have a Pokémon battle, Ash using his Treecko and Guy using Loudred. The battle takes an unexpected turn when both Pokémon evolve at the same time. Exploud promptly takes off on another rampage. While everyone looks for it, Team Rocket decides to steal it for Giovanni.

Trivia
- The English dub is based on the phrase "Loud and Clear"
- While Team Rocket was trying to catch Exploud, James says, "Normally I say gotta catch 'em all but I think I'll pass on this one." He is referring to the original catchphrase of Pokémon, which had mostly been dropped from the franchise by this point.
- This is the first English episode to air after Bulbapedia was "born".
Pokémon Trainer's Choice
- Question: Trainers, which one of these Pokémon is the best choice to battle Numel?
- Choices: Heracross, Pichu, Medicham
- Answer: Ok, trainers! If you chose Medicham, you were right!
Errors
Dub edits
- The crosshairs in Team Rocket's bazooka are removed for the Kids' WB! airing. This was left unaltered for the Cartoon Network airing and the DVDs.
- During the Boss Fantasy scene, the glass that Giovanni is holding is slightly altered so it doesn't look like a wine glass. The color of the glasses contents is also changed to be waterlike in appearance.
