He tells them that he has been running after the Yanma for three days, but the Pokémon constantly escapes. Ash and his friends agree to help Taisei make his first capture, and manage to corner the Yanma...

Trivia

• This episode has a similar premise to the episode Wings n' Things, though in that episode the younger Trainer wanted to recapture Yanma.
• This is one of the very few episodes in which Team Rocket successfully capture a Pokemon for Giovanni, although he sends it back to them. However, Yanma was a wild Pokemon at the time of capture, so it hadn't been stolen.
• Jessie capturing Yanma after someone else weakened it echos how she captured her Shellder (although in that case, it was James and his Weezing that weakened the Pokémon).
