The group wander into a nearby town looking for a restaurant after Ash and May failed to retrieve any water needed for cooking lunch. May and Ash later recount their story to {{an|Brock}} and [[Max]], though they have their doubts. They soon enter a saloon-style restaurant filled with some particularly menacing patrons. May notices a poster inside advertising the next [[Pokémon Contest]] is going to be hosted in [[Mulberry City]]. As May mentions her sighting of the Sudowoodo, almost every patron inside of the establishment surrounds her demanding to know more about the Sudowoodo sighting. Everyone begins fighting over the incident as a young man motions for the group to evade the feuding patrons. [[Keenan]] rushes Ash and the others inside his home, successfully escaping the mob of people. He draws the curtains closed before revealing a photograph featuring himself alongside the mysterious golden Sudowoodo. Keenan explains that the golden Sudowoodo is his, and its special color gives it water resistance, much to May's disappointment. Max is curious as to how Sudowoodo became gold-colored. Keenan replies that he doesn’t know, though Brock suspects that it may have polishes itself against rare metals like other {{t|Rock}} types like {{p|Onix}}. Ash offers to help Keenan locate his missing Sudowoodo, though he doesn’t appear all that thrilled to have the assistance. Meanwhile, having eavesdropped on the conversation, {{TRT}} have also set their sights on the golden Sudowoodo. | The group wander into a nearby town looking for a restaurant after Ash and May failed to retrieve any water needed for cooking lunch.

Team Rocket are first to arrive at the lake. [[Jessie]] believes the lake water and a resident goddess may be responsible for Sudowoodo’s golden hue. She volunteers to offer {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} as tribute, though [[James]] yells at her for that. Instead, they disguise {{MTR}} as a Sudowoodo and prepare to kick him into the lake as an offering. However, the real golden Sudowoodo bursts from the water. Meowth returns the favour, dressing Jessie in a diving suit with an attached rocket booster pack and net in hand. Jessie is unprepared as she is propelled forward, though she manages to net the golden Sudowoodo. The group and Keenan soon arrive, with Pikachu threatening Team Rocket with his sparking cheeks. James and Meowth instantly flee, fearing another blast off. Jessie, however, stands her ground. So Keenan tries to [[recall]] Sudowoodo back to its Poké Ball. The Sudowoodo dodges the red beam, and Jessie is struck instead. She soon flees like her teammates. | Team Rocket are first to arrive at the lake.

Ash notices that Sudowoodo doesn't seem happy to see Keenan, though he insists that it is his Pokémon. Brock calls upon {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}} to converse with Sudowoodo. However, Sudowoodo flat out refuses to return and dashes off into the distance. Keenan begins running after Sudowoodo, but the pursuit ends after he trips over. After Keenan recovers from the fall, he manages to let slip how Sudowoodo actually managed to turn "golden". In an attempt to strengthen Sudowoodo, he performed an experiment on it, and this resulted in Sudowoodo's unusual golden color. However, Sudowoodo was less than impressed and abandoned Keenan. Ash and his friends offer their assistance, hoping to bring Sudowoodo back to Keenan's for a reversal experiment. | Ash notices that Sudowoodo doesn't seem happy to see Keenan, though he insists that it is his Pokémon.

* [[Jessie]]'s fantasy comes from a Japanese tale about one throwing an object by accident and it turning into gold. There is a similar Western fairytale, where a woodsman loses his axe in a lake. The lake's spirit asks if he had lost an axe of pure silver or one of pure gold, but the woodsman says he had lost a cheap axe. He is awarded both the silver and gold axes for his honesty. | * [[Jessie]]'s fantasy comes from a Japanese tale about one throwing an object by accident and it turning into gold.
