The group takes a break in a local park, where Dawn admires her Pokétch. A {{p|Shinx}} then walks up to them, and Ash scans it on his [[Pokédex]] before Dawn wonders aloud why it is "barking" at them so much. Its Trainer, [[Landis]], shows up and instantly reveals that the Pokétches are fake. Dawn refuses to believe him, until Landis runs it under water, smearing the paint. When the group asks how he knew they were fake, Landis tells them that [[Pokétch Co. President|his father]] would never make one in such a "dumb" color. | The group takes a break in a local park, where Dawn admires her Pokétch.

Inside the [[Pokétch Company]] factory, Landis's father, who is also the Pokétch Co. President, apologizes for his son's behavior, but the group insists that it should be the people who made the fakes that should apologize. The President admits that he had the Pokétches pulled from the stores across [[Sinnoh]] because of the counterfeit Pokétch crisis. Landis then discovers that Dawn is a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}, which prompts his father to show them a prototype Pokétch, which has a [[Friendship]] Checker application.

Brock and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} go up next, and despite Croagunk only being a [[DP008|recent addition]], the reading reveals the pair are already quite close, something that stuns both Brock and Croagunk. Dawn, however, is shocked to learn that her friendship with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} is low. Landis’s father assures her that friendship increases as a Pokémon and {{pkmn|Trainer}} spend time together. Landis recommends Dawn not even both entering the Contest with those low stats. At this, Dawn orders Landis to test his friendship with Shinx. Landis retorts that he is too young and still studying at {{si|Trainers' School}}, much to Dawn's dismay. The President and his son wish Dawn all the best with her Contest, with Landis admitting she will need all the luck she can get. | ||
By nightfall, Team Rocket's fake Pokétch goes into full throttle. With the help of a {{p|Psyduck}}, they utilize the fake devices' speakers to broadcast a {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotic}} tone to attract the Trainer's Pokémon directly to them. {{AP|Pikachu}} alerts Ash and his friends to the growing Pokémon procession, while Landis and his father abandon their inspection of the fake Pokétch to chase after their hypnotized Shinx. Landis and his father step outside to look for Shinx, but they instead find Ash and his friends. The father and son alert the group to their discovery of the Psyduck recording within the fake Pokétches. Ash and others follow the Pokémon directly to a giant holding container. Oddly the Pokémon just stand in the box, stuck in a trance. Landis rushes forward to rescue his Shinx, but Dawn leaps to his aid to stop the door crashing down on the young boy. Dawn demands to know who is behind the scheme. Team Rocket responds with their {{motto}} before inflating their balloon and firing up their propulsion engines for lift off. Piplup and Pikachu prepare for a {{m|Bubble Beam}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}} combination, but {{MTR}} launches two arms from the balloon, trapping Pikachu and Piplup inside glass capsules. Dawn sends out {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and tells it to use {{m|Ice Beam}}, but the Ice Beam can't quite reach the balloon’s height. Still determined, Dawn and Buneary close their eyes and take a moment to concentrate. Dawn calls for a maxed out Ice Beam, and the attack freezes Team Rocket. It also shorts out the rocket boosters, stopping them. As the balloon starts to descend slowly, Piplup and Pikachu are released from their capsules and start to fall. Ash sends out {{AP|Starly}}, and has it swoop into to rescue the pair. Starly manages to save Piplup, though Pikachu continues to plummet. Ash runs and dives to try to catch him, but misses, and Pikachu hits the ground hard. | By nightfall, Team Rocket's fake Pokétch goes into full throttle.
