Meanwhile {{TRT}}, having observed what's happened, decide to try to catch the Gligar and Gliscor and use them so they can keep their bellies full of food after seeing the successful raid.


At the local [[Pokémon Center]], which has a garden on the roof filled with {{type|Bug}} and {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon, Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy tell the gang that the Gliscor and Gligar have reduced the city into a ghost town. After stripping the city bare of all the natural fruit and vegetables that were growing there, they're all now stealing the food out of people's hands. Brock is confused, as Gliscor and Gligar are known for living in the forest, not in the city. It turns out that one night, a very powerful storm blew Gliscor into the city with its strong winds. The same winds, which are caused by the numerous skyscrapers in the city, prevented Gliscor leaving and as a result Gliscor started to attract the Gligar from neighboring areas with sound waves magnified by the buildings. Numerous attempts to capture the Pokémon have failed. However Officer Jenny has a new plan, which involves using Gligar's favorite fruit as bait. The gang all pledge their support.

Meanwhile Gliscor and the Gligar have taken refuge in an abandoned warehouse. Suddenly a tub of fruit shoots through the window. All the Gligar start to tuck in, but then they all grow suspicious and along with Gliscor look through the window to see a truck carrying fruit driving down the road. They all give chase... apart from the one that fell on Ash earlier which was too busy stuffing its face from the tub to notice it had been left behind. Finally spotting the others gone, it finishes the food and joins the chase.

In an alley, Team Rocket are consoling themselves with some food when they notice Gliscor and the Gligar have arrived. They are quickly on the run, when suddenly an Ice Beam hits, and Team Rocket are sent blasting off for the second time this episode. The Ice Beam came from Paul's Weavile, and Paul orders a {{m|Blizzard}} which freezes all the Gligar solid. Gliscor responds with a {{m|Sandstorm}}, melting the ice and the numerous Pokémon make a getaway. However, the Gligar Ash saved is once again left behind, and is greeted by Ash and his friends. It pulls its now trademark strange face, but then starts to follow its group, and is itself followed by the gang.

In a nearby alley, Paul confronts Gliscor and sends out {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} to partner Weavile. He orders an Ice Beam/{{m|Thunder}} combo, but there are so many Gligar flying about neither can target. Paul yells at his Pokémon to focus, and orders a {{m|ThunderPunch}} from Electabuzz which hits several Gligar. Gliscor isn't happy about seeing its group attacked and uses X-Scissor on Electabuzz, which sends the {{type2|Electric}} flying into Weavile and Paul. Ash and the others arrive along with the Gligar they've now befriended. Ash tells Gliscor they can help it return to the wild, but before it can answer it is hit by Paul's Ice Beam/Thunder combo, sending it crashing to the ground. Paul then throws a Poké Ball, and successfully captures the Gliscor. As usual, Paul scans Gliscor with his Pokédex and sees that it's quite strong and decides to keep it. Ash asks Paul what about all the Gligar it was leading but naturally Paul couldn't care less. The Gligar known to Ash and the group makes a run at Paul but Electabuzz hits it with a ThunderPunch sending it flying. Recalling his Pokémon to their Poké Balls, Paul talks some more trash to the gang and leaves.

All the Gligar are now flying around the alley aimlessly. With Gliscor gone, the others don't know what to do. Deciding to go with the plan anyway, Ash and Dawn start to lure the Gligar to the Pokémon Center. A few are hesitant about going, but the one Ash is now friends with lets the others know it's OK and soon all the Gligar are on their way. Once there, all the Pokémon at the Center use Gust to send the Gligar flying out of the city and the plan is working perfectly... at least until Team Rocket show up, making a second attempt to catch the Gligar. Ash tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but Team Rocket are so far away the Thunderbolt doesn't reach, nor does Piplup's Bubblebeam. Ash decides to try Turtwig and Energy Ball again. Turtwig sends out the Energy Ball, but which it reaches the balloon's distance once again the direction isn't there and it misses. With Team Rocket closing in, Ash tells Turtwig to really concentrate. Turtwig responds, and fires the Energy Ball which hits Team Rocket dead on. The balloon explodes and it's third time unlucky for Team Rocket who are sent blasting off again.

*In Kanto, Ash filled his party with {{AP|Squirtle}} two episodes before he first met [[Lt. Surge]], Kanto's third Gym Leader. In this episode, he captures Gligar, while two episodes later he meets [[Maylene]], Sinnoh's third Gym Leader. Another parallel is that both Squirtle and Gligar were part of a group of Pokémon of their same species that caused trouble in a town. Both of them also voluntarily followed Ash.

* The featured town is apparently located on {{rt|215|Sinnoh}}, which is one of the routes where wild {{p|Gligar}} appear in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} via the [[Dual-slot mode|dongle method]].

* The episode features many {{type2|Electric}} moves used against {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon with visible effect (Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Electabuzz's {{m|ThunderPunch}}). In the games {{type2|Ground}}s like {{p|Gligar}} and {{p|Gliscor}} are immune to them.
