The group | The group gazes over [[Rustboro City]] through its observation tower. {{Ash}} emerges dressed in tourist souvenirs, embarrassing everyone else. As Ash tries to apologize, [[Max]] notices a {{p|Poliwag}} cowering under a bench. When they manage to get Poliwag to warm up to them, they notice a strange arm-band on the end of its tail. Soon, they are met by a local teacher named [[Roxanne]], who has arrived with her Beginners' Class, a group of students Max's age, on a field trip. She reveals that the Poliwag belongs to one of her students, {{OBP|Kenny|AG015}}, who is afraid of touching {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. {{OBP|Tommy|AG015}} begins picking on Kenny for losing Poliwag, though a fellow student [[Anita]] tries to intervene. Roxanne quickly settles her students before ordering them back to the [[Pokémon Trainers' School]]. Max is immediately keen to attend, but Ash reminds him that he still has his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. Roxanne is pleasantly surprised to learn that Ash and {{an|May}} are Gym challengers, admitting that the [[Rustboro Gym]] is next door to the academy. With that, the group decides a detour to the school is in order, despite Ash’s reservations. | ||
At the Trainer's School, the headmaster takes the group through the academy, including a [[Pokémon Contest]] class that piques May's interest, a {{tc|Doctor}}'s class taught jointly by a teacher and a [[Nurse Joy]], as well as a {{pkmn|battle|battling}} class that draws Ash's interest. When they enter Roxanne's class, they are greeted by {{an|Professor Oak}}, in the middle of a lecture by videophone. Max is immediately rendered speechless at seeing his idol for the first time, while Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and May take the time to greet the Professor. When Professor Oak asks about whether he or Roxanne had won the Gym Battle, Ash learns that Roxanne is also the Rustboro [[Gym Leader]]. As the headmaster explains, Roxanne is herself an alumnus of the Trainer's School, and quickly earned the title due to her prodigy skills. Roxanne, due to having to teach the Beginner's Class, asks Ash to delay their battle for two days, for which Ash accepts. | At the Trainer's School, the headmaster takes the group through the academy, including a [[Pokémon Contest]] class that piques May's interest, a {{tc|Doctor}}'s class taught jointly by a teacher and a [[Nurse Joy]], as well as a {{pkmn|battle|battling}} class that draws Ash's interest.

Later on, during the Beginner's Class battle practice, Tommy and Max square off. Roxanne offers six Poké Balls for a one-on-one battle between the two. When the battle begins, Tommy has {{p|Magby}} while Max has Poliwag, putting Max with the type advantage. As Max is contemplating his battle options, Tommy makes the first move with a {{m|Flamethrower}} attack. Max counters with {{m|Defense Curl}}. When Tommy tries another Flamethrower, Max uses {{m|Belly Drum}}. With increased {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} power, Max chooses not to go forward and attack, and on Tommy's next attempt with Flamethrower, it is replied with another Defense Curl - however, repeated hits are taking their toll on Poliwag. Before Tommy can finish, a school alarm bell sounds, and the headmaster rushes out to tell everyone that the Poké Balls have been stolen. A giant [[Team Rocket's mechas|Wurmple robot]], piloted by Team Rocket, appears, with a bag of Poké Balls on its tail. Ash attempts to take back the Poké Balls by {{m|Thunderbolt}}ing Team Rocket fails, due to the attacks hitting the macha's protective screen. Brock's contribution with {{TP|Brock|Forretress}}' {{m|Tackle}} is countered by {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}'s {{m|Poison Tail}}, while May's attempt with {{TP|May|Wurmple}}'s {{m|String Shot}} is met with {{TP|James|Cacnea}}'s {{m|Pin Missile}}. Jessie calls out her own {{TP|Jessie|Wurmple}}. May is shocked to see it, and Brock claims it is just like May’s Wurmple. Jessie retorts that comment, admitting her Wurmple is far cuter and so she decides to recall it back to its Ball. | Later on, during the Beginner's Class battle practice, Tommy and Max square off.

Max wants to join in with Poliwag, but is held back by a shy Kenny, who insists on Max to use an actual attack. Taking the advice, Poliwag's Water Gun hits Seviper. Tommy, not willing to let Max take the glory, orders Magby to attack as well, hitting Cacnea. When Ash tries to help the two out, Roxanne holds him back, insistent on allowing the Beginner's Class their chance to take on Team Rocket by themselves. Kenny formulates a plan where Max and Poliwag distract Team Rocket, while Tommy and Magby overheat the Wurmple robot. As they execute their plan, Poliwag uses Water Gun in the same manner as Pikachu and Thunderbolt before, while avoiding Pin Missile by using {{m|Protect}}. This gives Tommy and Magby the chance to attack the Wurmple robot, while Anita and her rental {{p|Pidgey}} uses {{m|Wing Attack}} to free the Poké Balls. Finally, Roxanne uses her {{p|Geodude}} to send Team Rocket flying with a {{m|Rollout}}. At the end of it all, Kenny has overcome his fear of touching Pokémon and Anita have found renewed interest in Pokémon, while Tommy and Max have resolved their differences. Brock commends Roxanne on her Geodude’s strength before turning to Ash, reminding him that his Gym match won’t be an easy one. | Max wants to join in with Poliwag, but is held back by a shy Kenny, who insists on Max to use an actual attack.
