Ash and his friends stop at a hot spring managed by a childhood friend of Dawn, Leona. The two are happy to meet again, but when Dawn and her friends want to go to the hot springs, they realize there isn't any water. Because no water is coming from the spring, the group want to investigate along with Leona and her Swinub.
