The scene cuts to {{TRT}}, who have heard that the woods are supposed to be full of Pokémon, but haven't seen any. Then they notice one and suddenly they spot several more that they'd overlooked. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} pops up, holding some kind of sign. Reading it, they see that it's a notice indicating that this is a Pokémon reserve. They immediately start plotting to steal Pokémon. | The scene cuts to {{TRT}}, who have heard that the woods are supposed to be full of Pokémon, but haven't seen any.

It cuts back to Ash and friends, who have followed Katrina to the preserve center, when the sick and injured Pokémon are cared for. Brock starts claiming that he, too, is a doctor and while going on about it, the Poochyena {{m|Tackle}}s him. Katrina scolds it and Brock claims that she even scolds beautifully! Soon after, Poochyena is sleeping and Max listens to the [[Pokédex]] entry about it. Then he and Katrina start talking about when Poochyena will [[evolution|evolve]], and she reveals that Poochyena is the same age as the group of Mightyena they met, but hasn't evolved yet, probably because it only uses Tackle. Katrina says that she is not worried - it's not a problem if it takes a long time to evolve or even if it never evolves. Max protests that Mightyena are much more powerful than Poochyena, and starts extolling the benefits of evolving to the Poochyena. | It cuts back to Ash and his friends, who have followed Katrina to the preserve center, when the sick and injured Pokémon are cared for.

May starts thinking about her Torchic evolving, and her and Max talk about how much he wants to see a Pokémon evolve and how they might get her Torchic to evolve. Ash tells them they can't just get a Pokémon to evolve because they want it to - they have to gain [[experience]] first, and it takes a while. Max complains about why things take so long, and Brock says if it were easy to evolve Pokémon, it would not be so fun. Ash elaborates that Pokémon only evolve after they've done a lot of work with their {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and says that the getting to know each other as the Pokémon are getting experience is part of the experience. They start talking about why Pikachu has not evolved after all this time, and Ash says there are different kinds of evolution. Brock explains that some Pokémon, such as Torchic and Poochyena, evolve with experience, while others such as Pikachu need a certain item to evolve. | May starts thinking about her Torchic evolving, and her and Max talk about how much he wants to see a Pokémon evolve and how they might get her Torchic to evolve.

Max asks if they can do it some more, and they turn the "Persian" into a {{p|Sunflora}}, which really surprises Max, who protests that it's not possible for a Persian to evolve into a Sunflora. Jessie says that's what they told {{wp|Albert Einstein}} before he invented the {{wp|Incandescent light bulb|light bulb}}, to which Max says {{wp|Thomas Edison}} invented the light bulb. They quickly move on and proceed to go through a series of other such changes, then it cuts to Meowth trying to decide which costume to put on next. He delays too long and they knock on the machine, so he hurriedly puts on several pieces of different costumes. This really makes Max suspicious. Jessie and James stand in front of the machine and offer to give the Poochyena a try. Max says he knows it's rigged and starts to leave with Poochyena, but Jessie snatches it and reassures him that they do it all the time. They put Poochyena into the machine, and a moment later are holding Max back as he tries to get free. They tell Meowth to go ahead and the machine appears to explode. | Max asks if they can do it some more, and they turn the "Persian" into a {{p|Sunflora}}, which really surprises Max, who protests that it's not possible for a Persian to evolve into a Sunflora.

Next thing, Team Rocket is thanking Max as they are about to leave with Poochyena and the other stolen Pokémon in their Meowth balloon. Max insists they give it back, and they refuse.

Max insists they give it back, and they refuse. Just then, Katrina, Ash and friends arrive, and Katrina accuses Team Rocket of being the poachers and they proceed to unmask themselves and do the {{motto}}. Then they use a machine to grab Pikachu and start to float away. Katrina, Ash and his friends give chase. Ash releases {{AP|his Taillow|Swellow}}, who starts {{m|Peck}}ing Jessie and James. They stop piloting their balloon and it gradually floats to the ground, for which Ash congratulates Taillow. Max urges Poochyena to bite through the net in order to free himself and all his friends. Poochyena is scared, but with enough encouragement, he does it. They all fall to the ground, Team Rocket looks dismayed, and just then Taillow's persistent pecking causes James to loosen his hold on the Pikachu-grabber, and it releases Pikachu. Then Ash orders Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which causes Team Rocket to blast off again. | ||
It cuts to Max congratulating Poochyena for finally using Bite and saving the day. He says Ash is right - Poochyena's great whether he evolves or not. Poochyena comments happily and then begins to evolve! Max and May don't understand why Poochyena is glowing, but Katrina explains that it's beginning to evolve. The newly evolved Mightyena lets out a triumphant howl, Max is amazed, and the other three Mightyena come to congratulate their companion. | It cuts to Max congratulating Poochyena for finally using Bite and saving the day.
