{{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{AP|Aipom}} are continuing their search for {{AP|Pikachu}}, now aided by Ash's newly-caught {{AP|Starly}}. Meanwhile, {{an|Dawn}}, Pikachu and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} are retracing their steps hoping to find Ash.

[[Paul|The Elekid's Trainer]] throws a {{i|Poké Ball}} towards one. However, the Starly he throws the Ball towards is the one owned by Ash and, therefore, the capture fails. As the Trainer catches the Ball, Ash arrives and calls Starly to sit on his shoulder before asking the Trainer if he's seen Dawn and Pikachu to which he hasn't. The Trainer, who saw Ash capture Starly, then asks if he's sure the Starly he caught is the best one. He then throws three Poké Balls which all contain a Starly each. The Trainer then explains that by scanning a Pokémon with the Pokédex a Trainer can see what attacks it knows thereby saving a lot of time and energy in the long run. After scanning the three Starly to see which of them know {{m|Aerial Ace}}, he then returns them all to their Poké Balls. Then, after telling two of the Starly to get lost as they're not needed, he throws two of the Poké Balls which send out the Starly with a blue light, signifying their permanent release. Ash remarks this is an unusual way to treat Pokémon, as he believes any Pokémon has the ability to be strong and the Trainer challenges Ash to a three-on-three battle. Unfortunately, Ash has to refuse as he only has Aipom and Starly on him now to which the Trainer doesn't take kindly. After calling Ash pathetic he takes his Elekid and leaves. | ||
Before Ash can get too angry about the incident, he and Brock hear the sound of a {{m|Volt Tackle}} in the distance. Knowing that only Pikachu knows that move, the two begin running... and the mention of Volt Tackle catches Elekid's Trainer's interest. However, Dawn, Pikachu and Piplup are having their own problems as {{TRT}} has reappeared and cornered them with another giant robot. Despite Piplup's best attempts, Team Rocket successfully snag Pikachu to Dawn's horror. With his {{m|Bubble Beam}} attack not working, Piplup charges the mech but is no match and gets knocked out. Jessie mocks the fact that Piplup is a flightless bird and sends the robot's hands down and almost grabs Piplup when Aipom and Starly burst through the trees and attacks with {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Whirlwind}} attacks. Pikachu and Dawn are shocked to see the Pokémon. Ash realizes Team Rocket are in the machine. They step out onto a platform in front of it and say [[Team Rocket mottos|their new motto]], much to Ash's distaste. Ash climbs a tree and jumps onto the machine's arm, climbing up to Pikachu. Dawn is stunned at the lengths he will go to for Pikachu, while also very scared for Ash at the same time. Ash tries to force the hand open and the machine begins to malfunction. Brock tells Dawn to duck and they do. The robot explodes and Team Rocket go blasting off. | Before Ash can get too angry about the incident, he and Brock hear the sound of a {{m|Volt Tackle}} in the distance.

Brock and Dawn become worried for Ash and Pikachu, who are still in the rubble. Finally emerging from the rubble, Ash, Pikachu, Aipom, and Starly reunite. Ash officially introduces Pikachu to Starly. Ash then introduces himself to Dawn and scans her Piplup with his [[Pokédex]]. Exhausted, Piplup collapses. Brock takes him in his arms, gives him some Potion and he feels better instantly. At a phone booth, the gang makes a call to Professor Rowan. He reveals that he has a parcel at the lab from Ash's mom. In the forest, Paul and his Elekid examine Team Rocket's broken robot. Ash is tougher than he thought. | Brock and Dawn become worried for Ash and Pikachu, who are still in the rubble. Finally emerging from the rubble, Ash, Pikachu, Aipom, and Starly reunite.

Walking down the road together, Ash, Dawn, and Brock are approached by Officer Jenny who is glad Ash found his Pikachu. At the lab, Ash opens his parcel, surprised to find new clothes, a new {{AP|hat}}, new [[List of clothing in the anime|shoes]], and a new [[bag|backpack]]. After putting them on, he calls his mom, telling her he is all right. He also calls Professor Oak, who chats with Rowan. In the living room, Dawn asks Ash if she could come along with them to which Ash agrees.

In the living room, Dawn asks Ash if she could come along with them to which Ash agrees. Piplup, Aipom, and Starly are recalled into their Poké Balls, leading Dawn to ask Ash why he doesn't place Pikachu in his Poké Ball as well. Ash explains that Pikachu hates traveling in a Poké Ball, especially when his shoulder does just fine which amazes Dawn. Professor Rowan explains to Dawn that different Pokémon have different personalities. It's time for the gang to depart, and Ash thanks Professor Rowan for everything he's done. However, just as they leave Ash and Brock find Paul waiting for them. Paul tells Ash that now he has three Pokémon they can have a battle. Ash is now more than happy to accept a challenge from the arrogant Trainer, and Professor Rowan offers them use of his back garden for the battle. | ||
As the two face off, Brock offers to act as referee while Paul spells out the rules; it will be a three-on-three battle with no substitutions, the first to reach two wins will get the match. Both Trainers release their Starly. Ash starts off by commanding his Starly to use {{m|Quick Attack}} but the opponent manages to dodge it. Paul's Starly uses {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Ash tries to counter with a {{m|Wing Attack}}, but Paul's Starly uses {{m|Double Team}} followed by another Aerial Ace and as a result, Ash's Starly is knocked out. Ash recalls Starly, as does Paul. | As the two face off, Brock offers to act as referee while Paul spells out the rules; it will be a three-on-three battle with no substitutions, the first to reach two wins will get the match.

Ash then sends out Pikachu and Paul sends out his Elekid. Ash starts things off by ordering Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Elekid simply absorbs the attack. Paul then tells Elekid to use {{m|Thunder}}. Elekid revolves its arms and fires off a huge electric bolt at Pikachu, who takes the attack as well. Ash then tells Pikachu to use {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Paul tells Elekid to use {{m|Protect}} to stop the attack. Pikachu is sent flying back, and Dawn wonders why Pikachu took damage. [[Professor Rowan]] explains that while Volt Tackle is a powerful move, it also [[Recoil|damages the user]]. | Ash then sends out Pikachu and Paul sends out his Elekid.

Pikachu gets up however, and Ash tells him to use {{m|Iron Tail}}. While Paul orders Elekid to counter the move with {{m|Brick Break}}. Pikachu jumps towards Elekid, and the two exchange blows for some time, before Elekid manages to land a {{m|Thunder Punch}} attack. However, the strain of the battle takes its toll on both Pokémon, and Pikachu and Elekid fall down at the same time, defeated. Brock announces that the battle was a tie, and that the whole three-on-three battle was also a tie, with both Trainers with one win, one loss and a draw.

Then Paul pulls a Poké Ball from his belt and releases his last remaining Starly. Ash asks what he did that for, and Paul tells him that there will be other Starly even stronger than this one. He then bows to Professor Rowan, before walking off. Ash stares at him angry on seeing such disrespect to Pokémon. | ||
