Blurb

Up, up, and away!
The Pokémon hot air balloon race is on. And the prize is a rare Dratini. Windy could have won — but Team Rocket took the wind out of her sails!

Can Ash and his Pokémon help Windy blow off the competition? Between hail storms, Beedril swarms, Koffing's Smoke Screen, and Arbok's balloon-tearing fangs, the odds are against them.

It's going to take a lot of Poké power to win this race — but Ash won't let Team Rocket burst anyone's bubble.
