Plot

Cilan and Pansage are in Kanto together and they've stopped at a lake. All of a sudden Cilan sees a robotic Pokémon which he thinks is real, so he tries to catch it using his fishing skills, but he accidently ends up hooking a Gyarados instead, and Gyarados begins going on a rampage and fires a Flamethrower at Cilan and Pansage. Cilan decides to battle with Gyarados and he instructs Pansage to use his Bullet Seed which he does, but then something shocks Gyarados and it fires a Hyper Beam. Cilan then notices Pansage is hurt and takes him to a Pokémon Center. As Cilan rushes to the Pokémon Center, he almost runs into Brock and they both apologize and then Cilan continues rushing to the Pokémon Center as Brock watches him.

Once he gets to the Pokémon Center, Cilan informs Nurse Joy about the incident that happened with Gyarados and that Pansage got injured. Just then, Brock comes in and says he can treat Pansage and Nurse Joy informs Cilan that Brock is training to become a Pokémon Doctor, and as usual Brock begins to flirt with Nurse Joy causing Croagunk to come out of his Pokéball and use Poison Jab on Brock, causing him to fall to the ground in agony. After Brock is better, he and Nurse Joy treat Pansage as Cilan waits anxiously.

Brock comes back out and informs Cilan that Pansage is feeling better and all he needs now is a good rest, so Cilan decides to leave Pansage with Brock until he's okay. Just then, a young girl named Ayumi comes in with her Pikachu, which both peaks Brock and Cilan's interests, as Ayumi's Pikachu looks different from the way they remember Ash's Pikachu looking. Ayumi explains to Nurse Joy her Pikachu's Thunderbolt isn't as powerful as it should be, and Cilan asks her if she and Pikachu practice the Move at all, to which she replies they don't, and Cilan explains to her this is why Pikachu's Thunder Bolt isn't as powerful as it should be and offers to help her.

Cilan and Ayumi are outside on the battle field and Cilan chooses Stunfisk to battle with Pikachu. Ayumi instructs Pikachu to use Thunder Bolt, and she does and the Thunder Bolt hits Stunfisk as it laughs. After they get done practicing the gang decides to eat, and both Brock and Cilan mention they used to cook for a friend of theirs, which was Ash, and they both mention he had a major impact on their lives, although they never mention him by name.

After the lunch, Cilan sees Officer Jenny and decides to help her get the Gyarados back into it's own lake so it will stop causing damage to the city. As Officer Jenny and Cilan try to get Gyarados back to it's lake, Officer Jenny sees Amer, a Pokémon poacher, and recognizes he's why Gyarados is acting the way it's acting. Cilan decides to stop Amer by using his Crustle who, when called out from it's Pokéball, lands on top of Amer and makes it so he can't move. Just then, Brock shows up along with Pansage who's feeling much better, and Pansage happily leaps into Cilan's arms and the two of them laugh. Just then, Brock sees Gyarados is injured and decides to help it, but Gyarados is far too angered for Brock to get close. Cilan then instructs Pansage to use Grass Whistle. Pansage takes a part of the leaves from his head and begins playing a beautiful song with the leaves, similar to a tune from The Rise of Darkrai. Hearing the lovely music calms Gyarados right down, and the Brock treats it's wounds.

Back at the Pokémon Center, Officer Jenny thanks Cilan for his assistance in helping her arrest Amer, and Cilan explains to Officer Jenny that he comes from the Unova Region and that he is an A class Pokémon Connoisseur. Brock then begins to flirt with Officer Jenny, which makes Cilan refer to Brock as a "Lady Connoissuer" right before Croagunk comes out of his Pokéball and uses Poison Jab on Brock once again. Cilan then says his farewells to Officer Jenny, Nurse Joy, and Brock and then he leaves the Pokémon Center. As he's leaving he realizes he never asked Brock his name, but he brushes it off and continues on.

• Despite Cilan having heard of Brock from Ash and Dawn in Expedition to Onix Island! and meeting him in this episode, they never introduce themselves to each other and thus never realize that they are both Ash's friends.

Errors
