Blurb
While Ash and Serena do some special training and Clemont works on his inventions, Bonnie explores the forest, where she meets a trio of kids who call themselves the Lapras Defense Force. They show Bonnie to their hideout and introduce her to their friend Lapras, who is recovering from an injury and seems to be running a fever. The three of them really don't trust grown-ups, but when Ash, Serena, and Clemont come looking for Bonnie, the kids reluctantly agree to let Nurse Joy make a house call to their hideout.
After some medical attention, Lapras is feeling much better, but it keeps looking out toward the water and crying. Clemont figures out that it misses its ocean home, and the kids decide to take it back there. Despite a boulder blocking the way and a run-in with Team Rocket, Lapras is soon reunited with its family.
Bonnie bids farewell to her new friends, and our heroes resume their trek to Coumarine City!

Ash and his friends have just finished a meal. Ash begins to train for his Gym Battle, Serena begins training for her Pokémon Showcase, and Clemont decides to start working on a new invention. Bonnie asks Clemont if she can go take a walk in the forest, and he allows her to do so. As she's walking through the forest with Dedenne she spots a Wormadam in a tree and happily greets her. She continues to walk until she is halted by three other kids named Heidi, Jay, and Kye. She demands to know why they won't let her pass, and they unintentionally mention that there is a Lapras in the forest they have been protecting. The leader of the group, Heidi notices Dedenne and suddenly becomes intrigued when Bonnie tells her that she is taking care of Dedenne. Heidi asks Bonnie if she could nuzzle with Dedenne, which Bonnie allows, resulting in Heidi getting shocked by Nuzzle.
At a lake Heidi, Jay, Kye, and Bonnie change into their bathing suits and swim with Lapras. Bonnie asks Heidi how the group came across Lapras in the first place, and at first Heidi is hesitant to explain, until persuaded by Jay and Kye. She explains to Bonnie that the three of them were walking around one day after a thunderstorm and found Lapras in the lake injured. Intending to treat it and protect it, the three of them set up the Lapras Defense Corps. Heidi, Jay, Kye, and Bonnie play with Lapras until they have to go home. Bonnie wonders why Lapras ended up in the lake, and Heidi tells her Pokémon Hunters were most likely after Lapras.
Shortly after, the sky turns dark and rain begins to pour. Ash, Serena and Clemont return to the Pokémon Center to take shelter. Clemont expresses his worry that Bonnie has not returned from the forest yet, while Serena hopes that she has managed to seek shelter elsewhere.

Trivia
Errors
- When Clemont is releasing Chespin and Luxio to the action, the pupils in Luxio's eyes are colored black instead of yellow.
- When the Lapras friends use their Ice Beam attack on Team Rocket, the grip engine on the Magikarp submarine is missing.
Dub edits
- In the dub, the kids start crying because Ash comments that "Lapras is going downhill fast", then Clemont says that he would rather not think about it. In the original version, Ash explicitly says that if they leave Lapras there, they will "let it die", and Clemont adds that it may be a possibility in the worst case scenario.
- The dub's title card segment focuses on Ash instead of Bonnie in the Polish dub.
