At the [[Pokémon Center]], the day after {{Ash}}'s defeat at the hands of {{tc|Tower Tycoon|Salon Maiden}} [[Anabel]], Ash decides that he wants to challenge Anabel again, this time without using just brute strength and power. Ash gets straight into {{pkmn|training}} with a morning run with his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. They move on to practicing their attacks on a nearby tree; {{AP|Pikachu}} uses {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{AP|Tauros}} uses {{m|Take Down}}, and {{AP|Corphish}} uses {{m|Crabhammer}}. While the attacks prove powerful, Ash accidentally disturbs a swarm {{p|Beedrill}} in the tree. The swarm pursues Ash and his team, who run into Anabel. Ash asks if she could calm them down, but Anabel claims that she is unable to do so when they attack in a swarm like that. Tauros soon gets stung from behind by the Beedrill's {{m|Twineedle}} attack, sending him into a rampage from the pain before colliding with Ash, Anabel and the other Pokémon off into a lake. Immediately afterwards, Ash and Anabel start laughing at the crazy scenario at each other. Ash decides to clean Tauros up before any kind of battle and Anabel offered to help. During the course, Anabel, Ash, and Corphish begin to play around in the river by splashing water.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} has dug a tunnel underneath the [[twerp]]s, trying to catch Pikachu. Unfortunately for them, {{TP|May|Munchlax}} was right above them, causing the ground to collapse on top of them. The trio quickly get to their feet and throw away their plans to capture Pikachu when they see the group's food. After being caught stealing the food and accused of being there for Pikachu, they realized that Munchlax had run off with the food. In a rage, Team Rocket reveals their new mecha, a giant {{p|Wobbuffet}}. {{an|May}} sends out her {{TP|May|Eevee}} to use {{m|Tackle}} on the mecha. Team Rocket, thinking it wouldn't do a thing, laughs at Eevee's attempts. However, {{MTR}} sees that Eevee's head has managed to ut a hole in the mecha, which soon explodes and Team Rocket are sent blasting off again.

Inspired by Anabel's ability to talk to Pokémon through telepathy, May lets out her {{TP|May|Combusken}}, saying that they should all try to give commands to their Pokémon through telepathy. Ash agrees and gets down to Corphish's level, telling Corphish to use {{m|Harden}} with his mind. However, Corphish becomes nervous and frustrated, as does Combusken, leading Ash and May to give up. Ash asks Anabel how she was able to communicate that way, to which Anabel replies that she didn't quite know herself. She reveals that she has always been able to use telepathy to talk to Pokémon and plants since she was young. Anabel tells Ash to try to sense what was in her heart; however, Ash is unable to. Anabel reassures him that it really didn't matter.

Later that day, Ash is ready and raring to battle Anabel the second time. The match starts off with {{p|Alakazam}} versus Ash's Corphish, who begins with a Crabhammer attack. Anabel fights using her mind right from the start, commanding Alakazam to use {{m|Focus Punch}}. The attacks collide, and neither Pokémon is injured. Ash counters with a {{m|Bubble Beam}}, to which Alakazam uses {{m|Psybeam}}, which collide for an explosive effect. Ash isn't deterred and orders Corphish use {{m|Vise Grip}}; however, Anabel has Alakazam use {{m|Psychic}} to throw Corphish backwards. Corphish, despite being in mid-air, is able to use Bubble Beam, which successfully strikes Alakazam. Anabel isn't fazed and calls for Alakazam to use {{m|Recover}}, helping it reclaim some of its energy. Without giving an inch, Ash has Corphish use Crabhammer, which Anabel counterattacks with Focus Punch. However, Corphish dodges the Focus Punch and slams its Crabhammer attack into Alakazam's jaw. Alakazam used Psybeam again, confusing Corphish. Luckily for Ash, Corphish is still able to use Crabhammer and use it well. Immediately, Ash recalls Corphish, snapping it out of confusion, and throws Corphish right back onto the field, where it instantly uses Bubble Beam and knocks out Alakazam. Anabel's next Pokémon is her {{p|Metagross}}. Corphish uses Bubble Beam, but Metagross evades the attack and slams into Corphish with a {{m|Meteor Mash}}, knocking Corphish out.

Despite the type-disadvantage, Ash sends out his Tauros. Tauros' first attack is Take Down, to which Metagross counters with {{m|Iron Defense}}. Ash then calls for Tauros to use {{m|Horn Attack}} and Anabel has Metagross counter with Meteor Mash. Tauros is able to dodge Meteor Mash and slam his horn into Metagross' underside, sending it flying. However, Metagross uses {{m|Hyper Beam}}, sweeping through Ash's {{m|Double Team}} counter-offensive eventually striking the real Tauros. Tauros, however, makes a quick recovery and retaliates with Horn Attack, striking Metagross due to the delay as it recovers from its earlier Hyper Beam. Finally, Metagross is able to use Meteor Mash, which Tauros tries to counter with Take Down. The attacks collide and both Pokémon are faint.
