Synopsis

The episode begins with Ash and Iris battling using Scraggy and Axew respectively. Axew starts off with a Scratch attack, but Scraggy dodges then counters with a Headbutt. Axew uses Scratch once more and manages to hit Scraggy. Axew begins to charge a Dragon Rage attack but Scraggy uses a Hi Jump Kick which slams Axew's mouth closed preventing it from properly unleashing the attack, causing an explosion, knocking both Pokémon out. Finished with their training for the day Axew and Scraggy run off to play. Ash and Iris are happy to see the two get along so well together as playmates. While Axew and Scraggy are running around a Gothita runs out of a bush and crashes into Scraggy and Axew. As Gothita gathers itself it notices Scraggy and has fixated its stare on him.

Katharine runs in to retrieve her Pokémon. Ash and his friends introduces themselves to her as she does the same. Katharine has started her Pokémon journey and has acquired two Badges so far. However when Ash shows that he has four, Gothita becomes jealous. Cilan invites Katharine to have lunch with them. Katharine and Gothita tells them that they were on their way to Nimbasa City to battle Elesa. In the meantime Gothita, since first meeting Scraggy, hasn't stopped staring at him. Annoyed, Scraggy tries to Headbutt and Hi Jump Kick Gothita but it easily dodges. Gothita proceeds to use Psychic to pull Katharine so it can ask her to trade one of her current Pokémon for Scraggy. Katharine asks Ash if he would trade and sends out her Deerling, Darumaka, and Mandibuzz. Ash is flattered by her offer but he doesn't want to trade away his Scraggy. Gothita, clearly displeased, convinces Katharine to battle Ash for it. Ash doesn't want to battle for ownership of Scraggy. However Katharine accuses Ash for being scared of losing. She pushes Ash's buttons by stating that his Badges are fake. Displeased, Ash agrees to battle Katharine to prove that he truly earned them, falling right into Katharine and Gothita's plan.

Gothita chooses Mandibuzz to battle for Katharine. Ash looks over his current Pokémon and decides to use Tepig. Mandibuzz starts off with a Fury Attack but Tepig dodges and counters with Tackle. Mandibuzz flies up high and uses Air Slash. Tepig shakes off the attack as Mandibuzz uses Dark Pulse. Tepig dodges and counters with a Flamethrower. Mandibuzz flies up high then uses Brave Bird. The move hits Tepig but Mandibuzz suffers massive recoil. Taking advantage of the situation, Ash has Tepig use Tackle then Flamethrower but both moves miss. Katharine tells Mandibuzz to use Brave Bird once more as Ash has Tepig use Flame Charge. Both attacks collide and as the dust settles, Mandibuzz is knocked out, and Ash wins the battle.

Gothita is not pleased by the result even though it is the one who was mostly telling Katharine what to do during the battle. Seeing as she lost fair and square, Katharine tells Gothita to give up but Gothita refuses to. Suddenly a thunderstorm picks up over head. Katharine invites everyone to come to her cabin nearby. Since the storm wouldn't be passing anytime soon Ash and his friends would have to stay for the night, much to Gothita's pleasure. In the middle of the night Gothita wakes up and convinces Scraggy to go out with it to get some food, which Scraggy happily agrees. Meanwhile Axew has a nightmare, imagining what would have happened if Ash had lost the battle. Axew wakes up and notices that both Scraggy and Gothita are gone. As Axew panics and leaves the cabin to find them, Snivy wakes up as well.

Axew finds Scraggy and Gothita at an apple tree. Seeing how they are getting along, Axew tries to bring Scraggy back but Gothita tugs back. Back at the cabin Pikachu wakes everyone up. Ash, Iris, and Katharine notice that Gothita, Scraggy, Snivy, and Axew are all missing. As Axew and Gothita continue to fight over Scraggy, Gothita attacks Axew with a Psyshock which Axew dodges. Axew retaliates with a Dragon Rage and knocks Gothita into the air. After it lands Gothita stands up and finds itself on a Garbodor. As the Garbodor breathes out a Stench cloud, Gothita uses DoubleSlap, angrily awakening the sleeping Pokémon prompting it to attack. Axew and Gothita panic but Scraggy uses Leer. Garbodor fires off a Sludge Bomb but Snivy manages to pull Scraggy and Axew out of the way. Gothita takes damage from the attack and angrily attacks with Hidden Power. Garbodor continues to attack with Toxic and Sludge Bomb which hits only Gothita as Snivy continues to protect Scraggy and Axew.

Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Katharine finally catches up to see the battle already in progress. Garbodor uses Clear Smog which hits Gothita and Snivy. Ash asks Pikachu to tell Garbodor that they didn't mean to attack. Pikachu tries to but Garbodor uses Clear Smog again. As Pikachu continues to try to convince it, Gothita, annoyed, starts to use Psyshock but is stopped by Snivy, who uses Vine Whip on it. Cilan asks Katharine if her Deerling knows Aromatherapy, which fortunately it does. Katharine sends Deerling out and promptly has it use Aromatherapy. Garbodor, now calmed by Aromatherapy, calmly leaves.

Ash and Iris scolds Scraggy and Axew for running off into a dangerous situation. Katharine is glad that Gothita is okay. However Snivy disapproves of Gothita's personality and promptly snubs her actions. Gothita sees this and tells Katharine that it wants to fight Snivy. The next day, the battle begins. Gothita stars off with a Psyshock, but Snivy dodges. Gothita uses Hidden Power but Snivy blocks it with a Leaf Storm. Snivy attacks with a Vine Whip but Gothita swats away the attack with DoubleSlap. Snivy attacks with Leaf Blade knocking Gothita out of the air. Gothita attacks with Psyshock, but Snivy dodges and attacks with Leaf Storm, knocking Gothita out.

Gothita, upset with its defeat, promptly throws a tantrum. Gothita glares at Snivy, but she ignores Gothita. Gothita snaps and promptly runs off while throwing a fit. Katharine runs off to go get her as she says farewell to Ash and his friends. Ash, Iris, and Cilan wishes her well. Axew and Scraggy thank Snivy who happily accepts their gratitude. Ash decides it time for them to continue on to Driftveil City.
