Ash, Misty, and Brock are still journeying toward Olivine City when they come across a boy who seems to be looking for something. He introduces himself as Bucky and explains that he’s looking for a Dunsparce. Recently, he and his family went away to visit his sick grandfather. When they came back, all the kids in town had a Dunsparce, so now he wants one too. Bucky was asked by his friends to come to the park for a Dunsparce race. He told them he didn't have a Dunsparce, so he raced with his Caterpie and lost. Ash, Misty, and Brock decide to help Bucky capture a Dunsparce. Later on, Bucky does eventually find a Dunsparce, but it escapes. Team Rocket overhears this, and searches for the Land Snake Pokémon. Soon, Bucky finds more Dunsparce, but clashes with Team Rocket who are planning take them. After defeating Team Rocket, Bucky engaged one of the Dunsparce in battle in order to capture it. The capture was successful, and Bucky had caught the Land Snake Pokémon.
