Ash and his friends are heading to their next destination, Coumarine City for Ash's fourth Gym battle and Serena's first Pokémon Showcase. Ash notices how excited Serena is and she says that she feels she can't stop her excitement. A split second later Serena and Clemont are both lagging behind because they are so tired. Bonnie lets the others know the path will start going downhill soon, much to the relief of Serena and Clemont. Just then the group sees a Swanna fly overhead and then quickly notice something falling which suddenly hits Ash in the face.
Ash gets up and pulls the Soft Body Pokémon from his face, complaining about how slimy it is. He then scans it with his Pokédex and figures out it's a Goomy. Something's not right with Goomy and Clemont remarks that Goomy might be dehydrated. Serena takes her water bottle and pours some water on Goomy, but it isn't enough. Just then Ash notices a river and decides to carry Goomy there. On his way down he almost hits a big boulder which Pikachu destroys with Iron Tail. In the lake Ash and his friends get Goomy back to normal and it affectionately nibbles on Ash's ear. Just then Dedenne comes out to say hello to Goomy and Goomy is extremely terrified. Clemont notes that Dragon types such as Goomy are weak against Fairy types like Dedenne. Bonnie calls Goomy a coward for being scared of Dedenne causing Goomy to go over to her and hit her legs using the feelers on its head. Serena comments on how Bonnie calling Goomy a coward hurt it's feelings and it goes over to her and nibbles affectionately on her ear. She says that it feels icky which causes Goomy to become upset and use Rain Dance on her.
Later on, Team Rocket catches Pikachu as well as Goomy. Goomy helps Pikachu escape and they head back to Ash. Ash then adds Goomy to his team.

Trivia
Errors
- In one scene, the colors of Pinsir's mouth are inverted (ie. white innards with black teeth).
- When Pikachu tried breaking out of the cage he and Goomy were in, he got covered in bruises. When Goomy made him all slippery so he could squeeze out of the opening he made, the bruises disappeared.
- When Ash protected Pikachu and Goomy from Pumpkaboo's Shadow Ball, James's Inkay was there even though he didn't sent it out.
- Goomy's Bide damaged Jessie's Pumpkaboo despite Ghost-type Pokémon being immune to Normal-type moves.
