Synopsis

Template:Incomplete synopsis While resting by a lake, Ash decides to polish his Badge Case and remembers all the Gym Battles he’s so far had in Hoenn, when suddenly a larger than normal Whiscash, a Water/Ground Pokémon jumps out and eats the case. Determined to get his hard-earned badges back, he dives in but nearly drowns when he is saved by a Fishing Master who has spent years trying to catch the giant Whiscash. Determined to retrieve the badges, Ash and the others start fishing. Meanwhile Team Rocket are also trying to get a hold of the same Whiscash (figuring if they capture it, they will get both a new Pokémon and a bunch of badges) but things go crazy when a Feebas bites onto Jesse’s hair…
