{{Ash}}, {{an| | {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} are sitting next to a pond, watching their Pokémon play in it. They see an {{type|Electric}} [[move]] coming down on them from the sky blowing the nearby rock as they manage to evade at the last second. After that an {{p|Electrike}} comes running up. Dawn scans it on her [[Pokédex]] and Electrike zaps Ash. A man comes running up and apologizes to Ash. | ||

He bends down to look at {{AP|Staravia}} complimenting it while he reveals his passion for {{type|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Another man walks up and introduces himself as {{an|Cal}}. He runs a training center for Electric types nearby, and Jaco is {{pkmn|training}} one of the Electrike there. Then he offers the group a tour of the center. | ||
The gang go down to the school only to find it mostly abandoned, due to all the other Pokémon graduating. Then Cal shows up with an Electrike in his arms explaining that after graduating it too will go to the Power Generating room. Next, the scene turns to a demonstration of Electrike's training. He orders the Pokémon to use {{m|Charge}} followed by {{m|Thunder}}. The Electrike proves his ability to manipulate electricity by changing its direction to the left, upward and then on a quick descent hitting the target while Jaco's Electrike watches closely from the sidelines. | The gang go down to the school only to find it mostly abandoned, due to all the other Pokémon graduating.

Brock volunteers to help coach Jaco in training Electrike and Jaco with his Electrike gladly accept. | ||
Meanwhile, from their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp Submarine]], {{TRT}} spies on the scene and figures Electrike is a good candidate to kidnap. [[James]] and {{MTR}} point out that this Electrike is unstable, and hasn't matured yet. [[Jessie]] suggests that they wait for the [[twerps]] to do the work for them, then swoop in and steal it. | Meanwhile, from their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp Submarine]], {{TRT}} spies on the scene and figures Electrike is a good candidate to kidnap.

The scene turns to Brock explaining how to brush a Pokémon. Jaco starts by brushing it but gets zapped by Electrike to which Brock explains not to use a metal brush. Next, the scene turns to Electrike's training. It starts with Charge followed by {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but it loses control over the attack and accidentally hits Ash again. Upon seeing this, Brock suggest Ash and Dawn to make a demonstration with their Pokémon. | The scene turns to Brock explaining how to brush a Pokémon.

They agree and bring forth {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. Pikachu hits the target with no problem, but Pachirisu overcharges and blasts Ash.

Pikachu hits the target with no problem, but Pachirisu overcharges and blasts Ash. Dawn gives Pachirisu a [[Poffin]], and succeeds the second time. Brock then tells him that Electrike is more powerful than other Electric-type Pokémon. Later, Jaco walks in on Brock as he prepares {{pkmn|food}} for the Pokémon. Brock gives him some advice on {{pkmn|breeding}} not only Electric types, but how all different [[type]]s need different treatments. | ||
That evening, Pikachu is training with Electrike while being remotely watched by James and Meowth who start to feel the bond of partnership the two have and are inspired for them to see it through. Ironically, Jessie has gotten tired to waiting despite her earlier advice and has them rush in. She tries to steal the Pokémon, but James and Meowth hold her back. She gets insulted, and runs off on her own. The others offer to keep helping Electrike, stunning Ash, Dawn and Brock. | That evening, Pikachu is training with Electrike while being remotely watched by James and Meowth who start to feel the bond of partnership the two have and are inspired for them to see it through.

Jessie returns later, in her own pink mecha to steal Electrike. Pikachu attacks, but her machine is insulated. While held captive in the mecha's hand, Electrike [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Manectric}}, shattering the restraint. Manectric is too big for Jessie's hands now, so she steals Pikachu instead. James and Meowth hop onto the back and hack a hole for Manectric to hit. Manectric has gained a lot of power, improved aim and electricity control, able to hit the small target and blasts Team Rocket off. | Jessie returns later, in her own pink mecha to steal Electrike.
