{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} return to [[Mauville City]] for a pit stop on the way back to [[Petalburg City]]. Before they get ready to make any plans, [[Max]] notices a huge sign for an entrance to a carnival. They decide to check it out. They check out the toy stand first, mainly full of Pokémon plushies, and it's run by a disguised {{TRT}} wearing a {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Tauros}} [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|costume]]. The group sends out all their Pokémon to play, and Ash introduces his new {{AP|Torkoal}}, who smogs them up as a friendly greeting, but they don't seem too happy. Next, they check out the soccer target game, where {{an|Brock}} scores a ten. The rest of them are about to take their turn, but then Ash notices his Torkoal standing right in front of the ball. Ash is excited and ready to watch it go, but Torkoal instead falls over, landing on its back. Moving onto the water target game, Brock uses the supplied water super soaker, while his {{TP|Brock|Lotad}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} help him with their {{m|Water Gun}} attacks. Max is having a shot at the ring toss game, with the help of {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|May|Skitty}}. {{AP|Treecko}} and {{AP|Corphish}} are working on the ring-the-bell game, using Corphish's pincers and Treecko's tail, and Torkoal smogs them both again. {{an|May}} is playing a {{wp|Dance Dance Revolution|DDR}}-style game, with the help of {{TP|May|Torchic}}, {{TP|Brock|Forretress}}, {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, and {{TP|Ash|Taillow}}. A silhouette of a {{p|Meowth}}, none other than [[Team Rocket's Meowth]], appears on the screens and shows them the moves. He pulls out a remote and presses a button, which transforms the carnival attractions into Pokémon stealing traps. | {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} return to [[Mauville City]] for a pit stop on the way back to [[Petalburg City]].

With all the Pokémon trapped in a net underneath, Team Rocket recites their {{motto}} from their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]].

The group's Pokémon all try to attack the net, but none of their efforts work. Team Rocket laughs about their expensive capture net working so well and floats off. The situation seems hopeless, but some familiar friends — Mauville [[Gym Leader]] [[Wattson]] and his assistant, {{an|Watt}} — show up in the nick of time. Wattson's {{p|Electrike}}'s {{m|Thunder Wave}} does nothing, but Watt's {{p|Ampharos}} uses {{m|Iron Tail}} which severs the rope holding up the net. As the Pokémon get away, [[Jessie]] yells at Meowth for not using a reinforced rope along with the net, to which Meowth responds that they had to cut costs ''somewhere''. Together, Wattson, Watt, and Ash have their Pokémon use their {{type|Electric}} attacks, which combine into one massive beam of electricity that zaps Team Rocket, despite their electricity protection. The balloon explodes and Team Rocket blasts off. As everyone is admiring Watt's Ampharos, Wattson's Electrike suddenly [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Manectric}}. Everyone is happy for him, and Torkoal shows it by smoking them all. Ash and Wattson decide to have a battle between Torkoal and Manectric, while {{an|May}} and Watt decide to have a battle between Ampharos and Skitty. | ||
The group immediately notices that the front of the [[Mauville Gym]] looks different than it did the [[AG040|last time they were there]]. Ash is about to open the front door, but Watt yells at him not to open it. Wattson tells them that the front of the building isn't the only thing that's changed, hinting at a series of new traps. Inside the Gym, the first battle is between May and Watt. May starts off strong by having Skitty use {{m|Double Slap}}, followed by {{m|Tackle}}. Watt retaliates with Thunder Shock, which Skitty dodges, but Ampharos redirects the attack and scores a hit. He follows up with Iron Tail, almost knocking Skitty out. However, it gets back up. Ampharos uses Thunder Shock again, but right before it hits, Skitty uses {{m|Assist}}. It gets Torchic's {{m|Quick Attack}}, and easily dodges the Thunder Shock and hits Ampharos. It follows up with a Double Slap and knocks Ampharos out, giving May the win. Meanwhile, Team Rocket arrives at the Gym to steal some powerful Pokémon, and obliviously enter the front door, and find themselves on a rollercoaster ride. | The group immediately notices that the front of the [[Mauville Gym]] looks different than it did the [[AG040|last time they were there]].
