While {{ashfr|the group}} and their Pokémon are enjoying lunch, {{Ash}} notices {{p|Gligar}} is nowhere to be found. He stands up and calls out to the missing Pokémon, and Gligar replies by flying out to its Trainer out of affection. Ash wonders where Gligar went to, and Gligar shows off its developing {{m|X-Scissor}} technique. Ash is impressed, and Brock wonders if maybe it's trying to get stronger after [[DP081|being defeated]] by [[Paul]]'s {{p|Gliscor}}. Remembering the loss upsets Gligar's feelings, so Ash offers to do some training together soon. | While {{ashfr|the group}} and their Pokémon are enjoying lunch, {{Ash}} notices {{p|Gligar}} is nowhere to be found.

After the group finish their meal, Ash pits Gligar against {{AP|Buizel}}. Gligar's confidence starts to waver after Buizel sneers at it, but Ash tells it that everything will be fine. Gligar is satisfied by this, and starts off with an X-Scissor. Buizel expertly dodges before approaching with an {{m|Aqua Jet}}, however Gligar becomes petrified and leaps onto Ash for protection. Buizel continues its momentum and smashes straight into Ash, who is far from impressed. Ash irritatedly asks Gligar what's wrong with it, causing Gligar to get discouraged. Dawn tells Ash that he's going about it the wrong way. She kneels down to Gligar's level and comforts it with a hug. Ash says that he doesn't want Gligar to get spoiled from being treated that way, but Brock notes that being so harsh on it won't get him anywhere, either. He calls on {{AP|Turtwig}} to take on Gligar. While Gligar manages to dodge Turtwig's {{m|Energy Ball}}, it does so because it was trying to run away. As it soars into the air, Ash orders Gligar to use {{m|Steel Wing}}, which it does, but falters when Turtwig stares at it ferociously, ready to defend. Gligar spins around and knocking over Ash again with its weight. Ash scolds the Pokémon, saying that it has to toughening up and stop crying. Gligar takes it a little too harshly, and it flies away sobbing. Watching all of this happen from nearby bushes is {{TRT}},who spot an opportunity to steal Gligar for {{an|Giovanni|the Boss}}, now that it's all alone and defenseless. | After the group finish their meal, Ash pits Gligar against {{AP|Buizel}}.

Later, {{AP|Staravia}} leads the group to a forest clearing, where they find Gligar along with a familiar face: Ash's old [[rival]] turned {{pkmn|Professor|Pokémon Researcher}}, [[Gary Oak]]. The two greet each other, and Dawn is instantly awe-struck by seeing {{an|Professor Oak|the poetry guy}}'s grandson again. Ash asks Gary what he's doing here, and he explains that he was on his way to [[Lake Valor]] to check out the [[ | Later, {{AP|Staravia}} leads the group to a forest clearing, where they find Gligar along with a familiar face: Ash's old [[rival]] turned {{pkmn|Professor|Pokémon Researcher}}, [[Gary Oak]]. The two greet each other, and Dawn is instantly awe-struck by seeing {{an|Professor Oak|the poetry guy}}'s grandson again. Ash asks Gary what he's doing here, and he explains that he was on his way to [[Lake Valor]] to check out the [[Lake guardians (anime)#Azelf|Legendary Pokémon]] that Ash saw [[DP078|earlier]], because [[Professor Rowan]] asked that he do so. Gary asks about Gligar, to which Ash replies that it is his. Gary makes a guess that they were in the middle of training when it ran off. Ash takes the bait and gets offended by his assumption, to which Gary clarifies that he was only offering to help him. Ash refuses his offer and tries to call Gligar back to him, but Gligar recoils in fright and hides behind Gary. Ash grabs ahold of Gligar, trying to pull it away, but Gligar refuses to budge and continues cowering. Dawn and Brock suggests to Ash that maybe he should let Gary help him with Gligar's training. Gary agrees, and Ash grits his teeth in frustration. | ||
Not soon after, the two begin a battle, {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}} versus Gligar, to try to figure out why Gligar is having problems training. Ash has Gligar take to the skies and dive down for a Steel Wing. Gary calls for Umbreon to use its {{m|Shadow Ball}}. While the attack misses its target, Gligar recoils in fear anyway, and it falls back down and lands on Ash. Gary takes note that Gligar easily gets frightened when facing an opponent. Gary says that the first step they have to take is to try and overcome that fear. Ash pipes up and says that you just have to focus and concentrate, to which Gary quickly shuts him down, saying that he'll never change. He says that to use Steel Wing effectively, the Pokémon using it needs to jump up in the air as high as possible beforehand, and if they can work on that then Gligar's confidence would surely return. Dawn is amazed by how Gary explained it, to which Ash takes offense. Taking in the feedback, Gligar starts warming up to the battle by bouncing on its tail like a spring, before jumping up to fly. However, once in the air, Gligar becomes scared by the altitude and falls back down to the ground, landing on Ash again. | Not soon after, the two begin a battle, {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}} versus Gligar, to try to figure out why Gligar is having problems training.
