{{an|Brock}} informs {{Ash}} that [[Ecruteak City]] is on the other side of the upcoming mountain, and the news instantly gets Ash hyped for his next [[Gym]] match. The group notices an array of {{type|Grass}} Pokémon around them, but a running {{p|Skiploom}} grabs their attention. Ash's group follows the Pokémon and soon encounters its {{pkmn|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 [[Badge]]s as proof. Ephraim immediately challenges Ash to a {{pkmn|battle}} against one of his Grass-types, eager to train Skippy. Ash accepts, calling upon his {{AP|Chikorita}}. After a {{m|Tackle}} attack fails to work, Ephraim calls for Skippy to use its {{m|Double Team}}, and Chikorita is dazed by Skippy's speed. Ash orders Chikorita's to use {{m|Razor Leaf}}, which successfully knocks away the clones and hits the real Skippy. Ephraim watches as Skippy bounces back onto its feet and he orders a {{m|Leech Seed}}.

At his house, Ephraim introduces the group to [[Ephraim's parents|his parents]]. Ephraim's father reassures his son that even though he lost, at least he learned some valuable tricks from an experienced Trainer like Ash. He then offers Ash and his friends a place to stay for the night, and Ash happily accepts the kind offer. Misty then turns her attention to the flowers growing inside the house, and Ephraim's mother admits that the family's Grass Pokémon helped. Everyone goes outside to watch the Grass Pokémon water the fields of flowers and admire their peaceful natures. Ephraim is quick to add that Grass Pokémon can be tough as well. He then tells Ash that the reason he challenged him is because he and his Skiploom are training for the upcoming annual [[Grass Tournament]]. The Grass Tournament is a competition for 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 also compete, in the hopes of winning the prize of Leaf Stones. [[James]] plans to use his {{Tp|James|Victreebel}}, but [[Jessie]], having no Grass-type Pokémon, considers having {{MTR}} [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise himself]] as a {{p|Sunflora}}. That evening, Ephraim is seen training with Skippy and practicing their Double Team and speed [[move]]s. 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. | At his house, Ephraim introduces the group to [[Ephraim's parents|his parents]].
