Synopsis

As Ash and his friends travel to Petalburg City so Ash can obtain his 5th Gym Badge, they decide to take a break and have a picnic. Ash decides to take out all of his Pokémon out of their Poké Balls and introduces the team to his newly evolved Grovyle with all of the team being delighted except for Corphish. While Corphish tries getting fruit for the gang but eventually fails due to his overwhelming power, Grovyle cuts down the fruit and they can happily eat, making Corphish more jealous of Grovyle. Then, a Ludicolo suddenly appears (belonging to a Trainer named Poncho). Poncho, after examining Lombre asks to have a battle. If any of the gang lost, they would have to give Poncho their sandwiches, and if Poncho lost, he would buy them some cheeseburgers. Poncho chooses his trusty Ludicolo, And although Ash was probably going to choose Pikachu, Grovyle came wanting to battle, but not before Corphish would interfere. In the end Corphish loses, but does not admit defeat and runs off. The gang then figures out that they have been praising Grovyle far more than the now ignored Corphish, causing the aforementioned Pokemon to feel inferior. Team Rocket then sees Ludicolo, his trainer and Corphish having lunch and Meowth has one of his fantasies involving Giovanni and Ludicolo. Team Rocket captures Poncho and Ludicolo but Corphish saves the two and helps lead Ash and friends find him. In the end, they all have lunch and go to Petalburg City, where Norman awaits.
