Everyone examines their surroundings. Max checks his [[PokéNav]] and he reveals that the river is split by an island, hence the gentler flow. The group continues to explore the wilderness. Shortly after, Brock warns them that the ground will be muddy ahead. They step out of the fog and see lots of baby {{p|Mudkip}} playing in the lake. Ash scans them with his [[Pokédex]]. May isn’t too thrilled as she recalls her first encounter with [[AG001|a Mudkip]] left her soaked. However, she quickly changes her mind, remarking the Mudkip are adorable, and rushes out to catch one for herself. A bigger Mudkip suddenly emerges from the bushes and uses Water Gun to keep her away. May bemoans her luck with {{t|Water}} Pokémon. Just then, one of the baby Mudkip falls into the river during a play fight and is soon swept away by the current. Everyone notices its plight and Brock quickly orders his Lotad to save it. Lotad jumps into the water and soon reaches the Mudkip, but the current is too strong for him and pulls him along too. Brock begins running to intervene, but the big {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} manages to pull Lotad and the baby back to the shore itself. Brock goes to thank the Mudkip for its help, but it leaps back with an angry look. Brock assures the Mudkip of his good intentions and apologizes for May's actions. The others approach, but the Mudkip flees into the forest. Brock turns his attention to the young Mudkip and is pleased to see it is unharmed. Suddenly, a peculiar man with a Mudkip fin-like hairstyle pops out of the bushes. Ash and May initially mistake the guy for a Mudkip monster, but they quickly realize he is human when he scolds them for attempting to steal the Mudkip. Max quickly settles the situation, and the baby Mudkip's chirps also reassure the man that Brock actually saved the infant.

They go back to the man's house, whose real name is [[Old Man Swamp]] or Swampy for short, for some tea. Brock spots some {{pkmn|Egg}}s in a glass case, and Swampy reveals that those are Mudkip Eggs. He explains that he raises the Mudkip from Eggs he receives from the [[Pokémon League]] to be the [[starter Pokémon]] for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s starting their journeys in the [[Hoenn]] region. Swampy adds that [[Professor Birch]] also catches and raises starter Pokémon. Max exclaims that it is like being a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}, though Brock retorts that it is a little different. Upon hearing this, Swampy takes the group outside to witness some Mudkip hatch. A Mudkip emerges from its shell and immediately sprays May in the face with a Water Gun. Brock informs Swampy that a large Mudkip helped save one of Swampy’s hatchlings. Old Man Swamp expresses worry about the larger protective Mudkip, adding that it is actually a [[wild Pokémon]] and is too boisterous for a new Trainer and that soon it will be left alone when its friends go off to start their own Pokémon journeys with new Trainers.

Later, {{TRT}} stumble across Swampy's property fence and are left confused by why it’s out in the middle of nowhere. [[James]] suggests the fence might be to protect something valuable. With the thought of treasure, [[Jessie]] and James call out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}} respectively, to attack the fence. Seviper's {{m|Poison Tail}} proves useless. Cacnea, however, uses {{m|Needle Arm}} which knocks James directly into the fence and incidentally breaks it. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} emerges from his {{i|Poké Ball}}, triggering one of Swampy’s wires in the process. The rattling cans alert Swampy to the trespassers and he rushes to confront them, with Ash and {{ashfr}} following behind. Brock, however, is led away to the river as the Mudkip from earlier appears before him. Mudkip emerges from its hiding spot again, so Brock offers it some [[Pokémon food]] to befriend it. Brock is unsurprised by Mudkip's hesitance, admitting that they had only just met.
