Blurb
Ash's fourth battle on the Grass Field is against his toughest opponent yet! He battles Jeanette Fisher from Crimson City who brings a whole cheering section with her. Jeanette uses a powerful Scyther, which Ash has never battled before. Will his Bulbasaur be able whip Scyther's double team attack by using his reliable vine whip? To finish off the match, Jeanette brings out her Bellsprout which Ash feel is far inferior to his Pokémon. Once again, Ash lets his over-confidence take over.
Plot
Ash and his friends watch Gary's fourth round match on the Rock Field. They are shocked when Gary is abruptly defeated by a Trainer named Melissa, with his last Pokémon, Nidoking, being brought down by Melissa's Golem's Seismic Toss. This leaves Ash worried about his own chances during the fourth round, though Brock and Misty cheer him on. He later learns from Professor Oak that all of Pallet Town is cheering him on, which only makes him more nervous. Meanwhile, Team Rocket opens up a souvenir stand with the intent of luring in and stealing Pokémon from Trainers.
At the Grass Field, Ash starts his next match with Jeanette Fisher from Crimson City. He sends out Bulbasaur, and Jeanette uses Beedrill. The Bug-type Pokémon is about to hit Bulbasaur with Tackle, but Bulbasaur dodges it. Bulbasaur uses Razor Leaf, but Beedrill evades it and uses Twineedle, followed by Poison Sting. Bulbasaur dodges the attacks again before using Leech Seed, which instantly drains Beedrill's energy, allowing Bulbasaur to finish it off with Tackle. Jeanette then sends out her next Pokémon, Scyther. Bulbasaur keeps dodging Scyther's attacks, but Scyther uses Double Team to gain the advantage. Scyther gets in a few hits before Ash gets the idea to use Vine Whip on all the duplicates, so Bulbasaur will eventually hit the real one. The plan works, and Scyther is knocked out.
Outside the stadium, Team Rocket is using giant Pikachu dolls hanging from their balloon as distraction while planning to use a vacuum to suck away people's Poké Balls. However, their plan is foiled when a pair of Officer Jennys shoots down the balloon with Growlithe's Flamethrower and disables the vacuum. The trio escapes the two pursuing Jennys into the stadium, slipping on an empty Soda Pop can before hastily disguising themselves as snack sellers to avoid being caught.
Back at the battlefield, an unwavering Jeanette calls on her last Pokémon, a Bellsprout. Ash laughs and calls it weak as the Flower Pokémon wiggles its body in an odd manner. Bulbasaur uses Tackle, but Bellsprout evades the attack with ease. It then picks up Bulbasaur, repeatedly slams it into the ground, and knocks Bulbasaur out, shocking Ash. Brock realizes that Jeanette's Bellsprout must be exceptionally trained, or else it would not be used in a League battle. Ash sends out Pikachu, and he uses Thunder Shock, but Bellsprout dodges the attack and uses Razor Leaf. Pikachu dodges it and tries to use Thunderbolt, but Bellsprout's roots keep him grounded and immune to Electric attacks. Pikachu tries to punch and box-kick Bellsprout, but it slams him again and defeats him.
Down to his last Pokémon, Ash pauses for a second and then sends out his Muk, surprising his friends. Professor Oak explains that Ash had asked him to send him his Muk since he knew that Poison Pokémon are strong against Grass Pokémon. Misty is pleasantly surprised to hear that Ash used his head and thought ahead, for once. Muk is able to absorb Bellsprout's Slam and Razor Leaf attacks with ease, then uses a Body Slam. Its weight smothers Bellsprout, who soon faints. Ash wins the battle, and has now cleared all four preliminary fields to advance through to the next round of competition.
