On the route to [[Ecruteak City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} notice an array of Grass type Pokémon around them. Brock points out groups of Sunflora, Oddish, and Bellsprout, and Misty notices a Gloom. Suddenly, a {{p|Skiploom}} runs by the three trainers. Ash, Misty, and Brock follow the Pokémon and soon encounter its Trainer, a young boy named [[Ephraim]]. Ephraim introduces his Skiploom as "Skippy", and asks Ash if he is a trainer, and Ash shows Ephraim his three badges as proof. Ephraim immediately challenges Ash to a battle, eager to train Skippy. Ash accepts, calling upon his {{AP|Chikorita}}. Ephraim calls for Skippy to use its {{m|Double Team}} attack, and Chikorita is dazed by Skippy's speed. Ash commands for Chikorita's {{m|Razor Leaf}}, which successfully hits Skippy and causes it to faint. Ash celebrates his victory, but Misty scolds him, saying he should be ashamed of how badly he hurt Ephraim's Skiploom. Skippy proves to be fine, and Ephraim invites the trainers back to his house. | On the route to [[Ecruteak City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} notice an array of Grass type Pokémon around them.

He then tells Ash that the reason he challenged him is that he and his Skiploom are training for the upcoming annual [[Grass Tournament]]. The Grass Tournament is a competition for {{type|Grass}} Pokémon only, with a large collection of [[Leaf Stone]]s as the prize. Confident he can win any “local” tournament, Ash decides he and his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} will enter as well. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} finds a flyer advertising the Grass Tournament and decides that they will enter too, in hopes of winning the prize Leaf Stones. James will use his {{Tp|James|Victreebel}}, but Jessie, having no Grass type Pokémon, resorts to having Meowth disguise himself as a Sunflora. That evening, Ephraim is seen training with Skippy and practicing their Double Team and speed moves. Misty asks Ash if he is planning to train, but Ash arrogantly replies that a small local tournament is far too easy for him, and he does not need to train. | ||
The following day, the tournament begins. Ash is the first to battle, facing a trainer with a Gloom. Ash and Bulbasaur manage to defeat their opponent with a single attack, advancing Ash to the next round. Ephraim's first round battle is against James, posing as "Mr. Semaj" and his Victreebel. Though intimidated at first, Ephraim and Skippy manage to easily take down Victreebel with {{m|Leech Seed}} and {{m|Double Team}}. The moment he wins the match, Ephraim's parents rejoice over their son's accomplishment, much to Ephraim's embarrassment. | The following day, the tournament begins.
