Wanting to catch Pidgeotto, Ash throws a Poké Ball, but Pidgeotto simply swats it away. Misty retorts that a {{pkmn|Trainer}} needs to battle and weaken a wild Pokémon to capture it. She then mentions that he caught Caterpie only because he was weak, irritating Ash, who summons Caterpie to battle it despite the type disadvantage against Pidgeotto, of which both Misty and Pikachu are aware. Ash recalls Caterpie just in time, causing Pidgeotto to get its beak stuck in a tree.

Ash sends Pikachu after Pidgeotto just as it frees itself. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunder Shock}} to hit Pidgeotto, weakening it and allowing Ash to toss a Poké Ball. The Ball takes Pidgeotto in and drops to the ground and starts swaying. After a few moments, the Ball stops moving; Ash has captured the {{AP|Pidgeotto}}. Despite the success, Misty continues to berate him for his lack of knowledge about strategy.

{{TRT}} intrudes on their argument, reciting their {{motto}}. They decide to target Ash's Pikachu, mentioning his incredible power, which causes them to become distracted in a short internal argument before they decide to attack. They then send out {{TP|James|Koffing}} and {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} to battle, despite a [[Double Battle|double-team]] being considered against the [[Pokémon League]] rules. Misty wants to jump in, but Ash does not want to break the rules. Koffing's {{m|Sludge}} attack blinds Pikachu, taking him out of the battle. While he hands Pikachu off to Misty, he sends out his newly caught Pidgeotto, which dodges both Koffing and Ekans's attacks before going into a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Ekans avoids the attack by {{m|Dig|going underground}}, forcing Pidgeotto to come to a sudden stop. Koffing fires a {{m|Smog}} attack, which Pidgeotto splits with its wings before dodging multiple Sludge attacks and Ekans's retaliation. Despite soaring high into the sky, both Ekans and Koffing are able to keep up with Pidgeotto. Pidgeotto tries to hit Koffing with {{m|Gust}} but misses and is defeated.

Ash recalls Pidgeotto and tries to fight Team Rocket with his fists, but [[James]] easily holds him back. In a final attempt, Ash sends out Caterpie, which only amuses Team Rocket. Ekans and Koffing attack and Caterpie cowers, but Ash orders him to use {{m|String Shot}}. The attack completely incapacitates Koffing before Caterpie muzzles Ekans. Caterpie {{m|Tackle}}s Koffing, knocking it into Ekans and taking them both out. {{MTR}} tries to intervene, but he is also wrapped in String Shot. Taken by surprise, Team Rocket flees but promises they will be back.
