Kimmy was upset when he met Ash and his friends. His Linoone, Tokin, had been stealing round objects for no obvious reason. Among them, Poké Balls that contained two of May's Pokémon.
The young boy couldn't figure out what was going on with his Pokémon until Team Rocket tried to steal Pikachu, and Linoone chased after the balloon. Kimmy then remembered how he and Tokin used to play catch before it evolved, and that it was just trying to have some fun. Once Pikachu was saved, May's Poké Balls were recovered, and rings belonging to Kimmy's parents, Korben and Harmony, were found safely, Kimmy promised to pay more attention to his Pokémon and to start playing again.
