Synopsis

Template:Incomplete synopsis Ash and friends are continuing their journey to Nimbasa City. The group lets out all of their Pokémon, excluding Iris's Excadrill. Ash decides to take Trip's advice in the previous episode and help Oshawott perfect Aqua Jet.

Ash and Oshawott go to a nearby lake. They jump in the water and begin training. Ash tries to get Oshawott to open his eyes underwater, but he refuses. So Ash forcibly opens Oshawott's eyes. This scares Oshawott so much that he uses Water Gun on Ash, blasting him out of the lake. Ash, frustrated, decides to go back to the group with Oshawott.

Back at the camp, Cilan is cooking lunch while Iris watches. All of the Pokémon are having fun playing together, except for Snivy and Emolga, as they keep getting into fights. Ash's Scraggy wanders off and finds a group of Foongus. He begins to Headbutt them like he does with every other Pokémon he meets. However, the Foongus become angry and attack Scraggy with PoisonPowder. This makes the other Pokémon go and see what happenend, but when they get there, they get attacked by PoisonPowder as well! The Foongus run away as soon as Iris and Cilan come to see what happened. They are shocked. Soon Ash and Oshawott arrive and Iris tells Ash what happened.

In order to rescue the gang's Pokémon who got poisoned by a group of Foongus, Oshawott must bring back herbs that grow at the bottom of the pond. However, he can't see underwater, and an angry Stunfisk and Palpitoad attack him and ravage the territory. How will he face this critical situation?
