= Synopsis =


Ash, Misty, and Tracey have stopped on an island to rest. They've sent a few of their Pokémon out to stretch, and a few ride Lapras around. One of these is Misty's Psyduck who (asleep) falls off. Lapras swims back to shore, and Pikachu and Togepi tell Ash and his friends that he's missing. Misty is horrified and they send out the rest of their water Pokémon to help look for it. Nearby, a girl is fishing while her Tentacruel swims about. Psyduck surfaces, flailing in the water.

==Plot==
Upon arriving at [[Kinnow Island]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} decide to rest and send out a few of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to stretch. Eventually, [[Misty's Psyduck]] falls off {{AP|Lapras}} while falling asleep. Upon being informed of Psyduck's disappearance by {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, the group sends out the rest of their {{type|Water}} Pokémon to look for it, but to no avail. {{an|Misty}} is left upset by this, and Ash notes how unusual this is. {{Tracey}} says that he believes Psyduck is Misty's favorite Pokémon and that she is just hiding her feelings for it. Just then, a girl arrives and asks them if the Psyduck she found is theirs. It is, but Psyduck's tail is glowing bright pink.
 
Misty thanks the girl, who introduces herself as {{OBP|Marina|EP091}}. She points at Psyduck's glowing tail, and says that a {{pkmn|Trainer}} once told her that when this happens, the Psyduck is about to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] and it tells him that {{p|Golduck}}, Psyduck's evolved form, is the fastest of all Water Pokémon. Both Misty and Marina say that Golduck is one of their favorite Pokémon. They talk about Water Pokémon for a moment, completely ostracizing Ash and Tracey. After showing each other some [[Misty's special lure|lures]] they made and wishing they could catch one of the [[legendary Pokémon]] of the sea, Marina asks Misty why Psyduck cannot swim, since she found it flailing in the water. Misty claims that it was because it was a rare breed. Marina suggests that they {{pkmn|battle}} each other to see which is the most powerful Water Pokémon Trainer, and Misty agrees.


The Pokémon return, but with no luck. Misty is still upset, and Ash notes how unusual this is. Tracey says that he believes Psyduck is Misty's favorite Pokémon and that she just hides her feelings. The girl with the Tentacruel rows over and asks them if the Psyduck she found is theirs. It is, but its tail is glowing a bright pink.
Meanwhile, {{TRT}} peers at the shore through the periscope of the [[Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp submarine]]. {{MTR}} yells at [[Jessie]] for losing Ash and his friends, only to be whacked by her long hair. [[James]] asks to find a place for lunch, and Jessie tells them all to stop whining. She looks through the periscope once more and notices Misty and Marina getting ready to battle. They sit and watch, waiting for the right moment to strike.


Misty thanks the girl and she introduces herself as {{Oi|Marina||. She points at {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}'s glowing tail, and says that a trainer once told her that when this happens, the Psyduck is about to evolve. Ash checks his Pokédex and it tells him that Golduck, Psyduck's evolved form, is the fastest of all water Pokémon. Both Misty and Marina say that Golduck is their favorite Pokémon. They talk about water Pokémon for a moment, completely shutting out Ash and Tracey. After showing each other some lures they made and wishing they could catch one of the legendary Pokémon of the sea, Marina asks Misty why Psyduck can't swim. Misty covers for it, saying that its a rare breed. Marina then suggests that they battle each other to see which is the most powerful water trainer to which Misty agrees.
As Team Rocket watches, the battle between Misty and Marina begins. They agree to a three-on-three battle, and send out their first Pokémon. Marina uses her {{p|Tentacruel}} and Misty sends out her {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}}. Using {{m|Agility}}, Goldeen dodges Tentacruel's {{m|Wrap}} and lunges for a {{m|Horn Attack}}. However, Tentacruel stabs it with {{m|Poison Sting}}, defeating it. Marina tells Misty that she likes Water Pokémon that have another type as well, as this gives her a slight advantage. Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, which defeats Tentacruel with a single {{m|Swift}} attack.


Meanwhile, Team Rocket peers at the shore through the periscope of the Magikarp submarine. Meowth yells at Jessie for losing Ash and his friends, only to be whacked by her long hair. James asks to find a place for lunch, and Jessie tells them all to stop whining. She looks through the periscope once more and notices Misty and Marina getting ready to battle. They sit and watch, waiting for the right time to strike.
Marina sends out a {{p|Psyduck}} of her own, who looks a lot stronger than Misty's. Staryu uses {{m|Water Gun}}, but Psyduck deflects it with {{m|Confusion}} and it hits Staryu, defeating it. Marina suggests that Misty send out her Psyduck, and Tracey tells Misty that a battle might be enough to make Psyduck evolve. Misty tosses a {{i|Poké Ball}}, believing it to be Psyduck's, but it falls into the water empty. Embarrassed, Misty tells Ash to get Psyduck's Poké Ball for her, but he is unable to tell which one it is. He tosses her [[bag|backpack]] to her, but it falls into the water. She reaches into the water to get it, and when she pulls it up, the group finds a {{p|Golduck}}'s head stuck in it.


As Team Rocket watches, Misty and Marina's battle begins. They agree to a 3 on 3 battle, and send out their first Pokémon. Marina uses Tentacruel and Misty sends out Goldeen. Using Agility Goldeen dodges Tentacruel's Wrap, and lunges for a Horn Attack. Unfortunately, Tentacruel stabs it with a Poison Sting. Goldeen floats to the surface, fainted. Marina tells Misty that she likes water Pokémon that have another type as well, as this gives her a slight advantage. Misty sends out Staryu, and Marina compliments her on how good it looks. It as powerful as it is good-looking and it defeats Tentacruel with a single Swift attack.
Misty runs over to Golduck and hugs it, believing Psyduck evolved. Tracey believes that Psyduck evolved because it loves her. The battle continues, with Misty using Golduck. Psyduck uses Confusion, and a wave races at Misty. Golduck leaps onto the wave and, using {{m|Surf}}, deflects it back to Marina. Just as it is about to hit, the wave twists into an inverted whirlpool. Golduck jumps off just in time to avoid Team Rocket's Magikarp submarine, which pops out of the water.


Marina sends out a Psyduck of her own, who looks a lot stronger than Misty's. Staryu uses Water Gun, but Psyduck deflects it with Confusion so the water hits Staryu. Misty tosses out a Poké Ball to use her Psyduck, but it falls into the water empty. Embarrassed, Misty tells Ash to get Psyduck's Poké Ball for her, but he can't tell which one it is. He tosses her her bag, but it falls short. She reaches into the water to get it, and when she pulls it up, a Pokémon's head is stuck in it. She yanks it off, and everyone is amazed: it's a Golduck! Apparently, Psyduck evolved.
As everyone flees from the wave, the submarine fires a net, capturing Marina's Tentacruel and Psyduck. Marina sends out a {{p|Starmie}}, who swims over to the sub, joined by Golduck. Golduck attacks Team Rocket, throwing the submarine to the beach using its {{t|Psychic}} abilities. Team Rocket crawls out of the sub and recites their {{motto}}. When Ash tells them to give Marina back her Pokémon, Meowth insists that he hand over Pikachu first.


Misty runs over and hugs it. She says that nobody will yell at it like they did to Psyduck. Ash comments to Tracey that the person who yelled at it the most was Misty herself. He thinks that Psyduck evolved because it loved her. The battle continues, with Misty using Golduck. Psyduck uses Confusion, and a wave races at Misty. Golduck leaps onto the wave and, using its Psychic powers, makes it go back at Marina. Just as it is about to hit, the wave twists into an inverted whirlpool. Golduck jumps off just in time to avoid the Magikarp submarine, which pops out of the water.
Marina tells her Pokémon to wiggle out of the net, but they are too tired. She runs at Jessie, but Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}. It lunges at her, but Golduck protects Marina by slamming it into a tree with a stream of water. Golduck blocks Arbok's Poison Sting with {{m|Disable}}, then slams it into the air with {{m|Psychic}}. Team Rocket runs back into their submarine, but Golduck destroys it with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, sending them blasting off again. Meanwhile, Golduck rescues Tentacruel and Psyduck from the burning submarine.


Everybody hurries away, and Pikachu's attempts to shock the submarine fail. A wave from the sub sweeps over them, and a net is fired. Team Rocket climbs out and discovers that they didn't capture Golduck and Pikachu as they'd hoped, but have netted Marina's Tentacruel and Psyduck. Ash and his friends cling to the tree the wave swept them onto, and Marina realizes that her Pokémon are missing. They jump down and she sends out a Starmie who swims over to the sub. Golduck jumps in too, and quickly overtakes Marina's Pokémon.
Moments later, Misty and Marina resume their battle. Marina uses Starmie, who uses {{m|Tackle}} and follows up with a {{m|Bubble Beam}} against Golduck. Golduck responds with Hyper Beam, and despite Starmie's attempt to defend itself with {{m|Light Screen}}, the attack defeats it. Misty holds out a Poké Ball and tells Golduck to take a rest, but Psyduck pops out of it, stunning everyone. As Misty tries to sort out the situation, Golduck notices three girls walking along the beach, runs over, and starts flexing its muscles for them. Marina realizes that it wasn't Misty's Golduck at all, but just a Golduck that liked to show off in front of girls.


Team Rocket argues amongst themselves about whose idea it was to attack, and Golduck jumps out of the water. Team Rocket moves to attack it, but they are thrown onto the beach by Golduck's Psychic abilities. Team Rocket crawls out of the sub and say their motto. Ash tells them to give Marina back her Pokémon and Jessie and James seem all to happy to oblige. However, Meowth jumps up and insists that Ash hand over Pikachu before Marina gets her Pokémon back.
Later, Ash asks where Psyduck was all this time. Misty asks if it is going to evolve into Golduck anyway, but finds that its tail isn't glowing anymore. Marina congratulates her, however, saying that she was able to control a wild, evolved Pokémon without catching it. Misty cheers up until Ash says that since Golduck wasn't hers, the battle with it didn't count. That evening, as the group bids farewell to Marina, Misty tells her that she wants a rematch once Psyduck finally evolves.


Marina tells her Pokémon to wiggle out of the net, but they are too tired. She runs at Jessie, but she stops her with Arbok. It lunges at her, but is slammed into a tree by a stream of water. Everyone looks over and sees Golduck walking up from the water. It blocks Arbok's Poison Sting with a Barrier, then slams it into the air with a Psywave. Team Rocket runs back into their sub, but Golduck destroys it with a Hyper Beam. Team Rocket is thrown into the air and is blasted off once again. As the sub burns, Marina yells out for Tentacruel and Psyduck. Golduck walks out, carrying both above its head and protecting them with another Barrier. Marina thanks it and Misty hugs it.

Moments later, Misty and Marina are back at the rocks from before, continuing their battle. Marina uses Starmie, who uses Tackle against Golduck. It then attacks with Bubble. Golduck sends out a Hyper Beam, and Starmie creates an {{m|Light Screen}} to block it. It almost works, but the screen shatters and the Beam connects with its target. Misty wins and she cheers her Golduck. Misty holds out a Poké Ball and tells Golduck to take a rest, but Psyduck pops out of it. Everyone is stunned. As Misty tries to sort out the situation, Golduck notices three girls walking along the beach. It runs over and starts flexing its muscles. Marina realizes that it wasn't Misty's Golduck at all, it was just a Golduck that liked to show off in front of girls. Misty then says "It's just a Pokémon version of [[Brock]]," visibly shattered.

Blurb

Misty meets another female trainer who also is an expert on water Pokémon. The new trainer notices some signs that Misty's Psyduck may be ready to evolve. As the two prepare for a Pokémon battle, a Golduck springs from the water and battles for Misty. With her powerful new Pokémon, can Misty defeat both her newfound friend and Team Rocket?

Plot

Upon arriving at Kinnow Island, Ash and his friends decide to rest and send out a few of their Pokémon to stretch. Eventually, Misty's Psyduck falls off Lapras while falling asleep. Upon being informed of Psyduck's disappearance by Pikachu and Togepi, the group sends out the rest of their Water-type Pokémon to look for it, but to no avail. Misty is left upset by this, and Ash notes how unusual this is. Tracey says that he believes Psyduck is Misty's favorite Pokémon and that she is just hiding her feelings for it. Just then, a girl arrives and asks them if the Psyduck she found is theirs. It is, but Psyduck's tail is glowing bright pink.

Misty thanks the girl, who introduces herself as Marina. She points at Psyduck's glowing tail, and says that a Trainer once told her that when this happens, the Psyduck is about to evolve. Ash checks his Pokédex and it tells him that Golduck, Psyduck's evolved form, is the fastest of all Water Pokémon. Both Misty and Marina say that Golduck is one of their favorite Pokémon. They talk about Water Pokémon for a moment, completely ostracizing Ash and Tracey. After showing each other some lures they made and wishing they could catch one of the legendary Pokémon of the sea, Marina asks Misty why Psyduck cannot swim, since she found it flailing in the water. Misty claims that it was because it was a rare breed. Marina suggests that they battle each other to see which is the most powerful Water Pokémon Trainer, and Misty agrees.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket peers at the shore through the periscope of the Magikarp submarine. Meowth yells at Jessie for losing Ash and his friends, only to be whacked by her long hair. James asks to find a place for lunch, and Jessie tells them all to stop whining. She looks through the periscope once more and notices Misty and Marina getting ready to battle. They sit and watch, waiting for the right moment to strike.

As Team Rocket watches, the battle between Misty and Marina begins. They agree to a three-on-three battle, and send out their first Pokémon. Marina uses her Tentacruel and Misty sends out her Goldeen. Using Agility, Goldeen dodges Tentacruel's Wrap and lunges for a Horn Attack. However, Tentacruel stabs it with Poison Sting, defeating it. Marina tells Misty that she likes Water Pokémon that have another type as well, as this gives her a slight advantage. Misty sends out Staryu, which defeats Tentacruel with a single Swift attack.

Marina sends out a Psyduck of her own, who looks a lot stronger than Misty's. Staryu uses Water Gun, but Psyduck deflects it with Confusion and it hits Staryu, defeating it. Marina suggests that Misty send out her Psyduck, and Tracey tells Misty that a battle might be enough to make Psyduck evolve. Misty tosses a Poké Ball, believing it to be Psyduck's, but it falls into the water empty. Embarrassed, Misty tells Ash to get Psyduck's Poké Ball for her, but he is unable to tell which one it is. He tosses her backpack to her, but it falls into the water. She reaches into the water to get it, and when she pulls it up, the group finds a Golduck's head stuck in it.

Misty runs over to Golduck and hugs it, believing Psyduck evolved. Tracey believes that Psyduck evolved because it loves her. The battle continues, with Misty using Golduck. Psyduck uses Confusion, and a wave races at Misty. Golduck leaps onto the wave and, using Surf, deflects it back to Marina. Just as it is about to hit, the wave twists into an inverted whirlpool. Golduck jumps off just in time to avoid Team Rocket's Magikarp submarine, which pops out of the water.

As everyone flees from the wave, the submarine fires a net, capturing Marina's Tentacruel and Psyduck. Marina sends out a Starmie, who swims over to the sub, joined by Golduck. Golduck attacks Team Rocket, throwing the submarine to the beach using its Psychic abilities. Team Rocket crawls out of the sub and recites their motto. When Ash tells them to give Marina back her Pokémon, Meowth insists that he hand over Pikachu first.

Marina tells her Pokémon to wiggle out of the net, but they are too tired. She runs at Jessie, but Jessie sends out Arbok. It lunges at her, but Golduck protects Marina by slamming it into a tree with a stream of water. Golduck blocks Arbok's Poison Sting with Disable, then slams it into the air with Psychic. Team Rocket runs back into their submarine, but Golduck destroys it with a Hyper Beam, sending them blasting off again. Meanwhile, Golduck rescues Tentacruel and Psyduck from the burning submarine.

Moments later, Misty and Marina resume their battle. Marina uses Starmie, who uses Tackle and follows up with a Bubble Beam against Golduck. Golduck responds with Hyper Beam, and despite Starmie's attempt to defend itself with Light Screen, the attack defeats it. Misty holds out a Poké Ball and tells Golduck to take a rest, but Psyduck pops out of it, stunning everyone. As Misty tries to sort out the situation, Golduck notices three girls walking along the beach, runs over, and starts flexing its muscles for them. Marina realizes that it wasn't Misty's Golduck at all, but just a Golduck that liked to show off in front of girls.

Later, Ash asks where Psyduck was all this time. Misty asks if it is going to evolve into Golduck anyway, but finds that its tail isn't glowing anymore. Marina congratulates her, however, saying that she was able to control a wild, evolved Pokémon without catching it. Misty cheers up until Ash says that since Golduck wasn't hers, the battle with it didn't count. That evening, as the group bids farewell to Marina, Misty tells her that she wants a rematch once Psyduck finally evolves.
