<i>Ash meets an old friend: Thatcher from Mt. Lighthouse! He's a member of a pep squad school that cheers at Pokémon battles, led by a man named Sheridan. | |||
A disguised Team Rocket offers Sheridan money to cheer for their Pokémon battles. To test the effectiveness of the cheering, Brock and Ash offer to battle against Team Rocket. | |||
Brock's Forretress knocks out James' Cacnea, who is secretly revived using Helping Hand. Sheridan wears a mask containing a small microphone that he uses to give directions to Pokémon hidden inside the pep squad's giant drums. | |||
After Cacnea wins, it's Ash and Pikachu versus Jessie and Seviper. Jessie doesn't pay attention to the battle, and Seviper is quickly taken down. Sheridan issues commands to revive Seviper repeatedly. | |||
Max sneaks nearby and knocks the drums over, revealing the Pokémon concealed inside. Sheridan runs off, and Ash manages to encourage Pikachu to victory. | |||
Team Rocket then reveal themselves, but Pikachu is too weak to fight them off. Plusle and Minun revive Pikachu, whose Thunder attack starts a thunderstorm. A bolt of lightning hits Team Rocket's balloon, sending them blasting off. | |||
The members of the pep squad decide to go home, Thatcher continues his Pokémon journey, while Ash and friends continue to Lavaridge Town.</i> | |||
==Plot== | |||
As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} continue their journey, {{an|May}} admires her first [[Ribbon]], won in [[Fallarbor Town]]. Excited at reaching the next town, Ash accidentally takes the wrong path. He stumbles across a group of people. Among them, [[Thatcher]] and his {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}. He tells Ash and the others that he joined a pep squad that believes in the power of {{m|Helping Hand|cheering}}. The leader of the pep squad, [[Sheridan]], invites Ash and friends to join him in a battle to show the power of cheering. They readily accept the challenge. | |||
The first match is {{an|Brock}} against [[James]], who is in disguise. Brock sends out {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} to battle {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. Once it appeared that Cacnea had fallen, Sheridan and the others began cheering. Unbeknownst to the group, Sheridan whispers "Helping Hand" into a microphone. Out of nowhere, Cacnea regains health and defeats Forretress. Ash and May are dumbfounded, but [[Max]] thinks something is wrong. | The first match is {{an|Brock}} against [[James]], who is in disguise.

Although disappointed, Thatcher tells Ash that he really admires his work with Pikachu. He promises to work hard and start from scratch to eventually become as great a {{pkmn|Trainer}} as Ash someday, inspiring some of his fellow squad members to do the same. The group bids farewell to Thatcher and heads off on their next adventure. | Although disappointed, Thatcher tells Ash that he really admires his work with Pikachu.
