Synopsis

Continuing on their Pokémon journey, Ash, Dawn and Brock meet the B Button League, a group of people that don't evolve their Pokémon. To prove how strong their Pokémon are, the members of the B Button League agree to a battle. First, it's Piplup against Magikarp. Magikarp wins by using Tackle. Then, Ash battles with Pikachu against Magikarp. Assuming it's a tie, Team Rocket comes and steals Pikachu, Magikarp and Feebas. Team Rocket receives an evolution machine from the same dealer that sold James a Magikarp and a Weepinbell. It doesn't work, much to Team Rocket's chagrin. It transforms into a megabot, only to fall back over. James is happy anyway that he got to put it together.
