{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are on their way to the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Factory}}. It's nearing sunset, and they aren't sure exactly where they are. When {{an|Brock}} comments that he thinks they're lost, [[Max]] assures him that they're almost there.
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are on their way to the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}, but they get lost. They eventually start setting up camp for the night. Then, while they take a few minutes to admire the moon, a bit of snow blows by, and they see something fly overhead. After a few brief glimpses, they identify it as an {{p|Articuno}}. Articuno is soon joined in flight by a small, apparently malfunctioning biplane, but both apparently crash.


Several hours later, they're still not there. The sun has set, the full moon is visible above the trees, and after Max's apology, they start preparing to set up camp for the night. Then, while they take a few minutes to admire the moon, a bit of snow blows by (even though it's a warm night), and they see something fly overhead. After a few brief glimpses, they finally see it clearly enough to identify: it's an {{p|Articuno}}.
{{TRT}}, who have also set up camp for the night not far away, also see it. {{MTR}} suggests trying to capture it, with the usual bizarre vision of what the {{an|Giovanni|Boss}} would do with it. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are excited, until James points out that Articuno is, after all, an extremely powerful [[legendary Pokémon]]. As a result, James proclaims that they should go ahead and straightforwardly take {{AP|Pikachu}} and the Pokémon from the Battle Factory.


Articuno is soon joined in flight by a small biplane. There is an apparent mechanical malfunction, the plane emits a large cloud of smoke, and when things have cleared up, neither the plane nor Articuno is visible.
Ash and his friends have been walking around trying to find Articuno again. They don't find it, but they do find a [[Pokémon Center]]. They spend the night there, and the local [[Nurse Joy]] promises to give them directions to the Battle Factory in the morning. The next day, Joy is about to give them the directions, when she is interrupted by someone telling her not to bother. It's [[Scott]], and he offers to take them to the Battle Factory himself. It turns out that Scott is every bit as insane a driver as [[Professor Birch]], and he takes a shortcut. Fortunately, everyone survives the trip.

[[Jessie]] and [[James]] are excited, until James points out that Articuno is, after all, an extremely powerful [[legendary Pokémon]], and asks Jessie and Meowth if they really think they can capture it. They don't. He goes on to ask if any of their sneaky plans have ever worked out right. They haven't. He proclaims that they should go ahead and straightforwardly take {{AP|Pikachu}} and the Pokémon from the Battle Factory.

They are about to enter the Battle Factory when they hear the noise of an engine. A large vehicle smashes through the doors of the Factory and nearly runs the group down. When a voice from inside the vehicle makes it clear that the thing is out of control, Ash, {{an|May}}, and Brock use their Pokémon to stop it. A hatch opens on top of the vehicle, and a man climbs out, complaining about how it doesn't listen to a thing he says. He thanks them for their help, and Scott addresses him as {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}}. Noland goes on to introduce the vehicle as the Noland J-9, his latest and greatest super-machine. He is interrupted by an assistant, who runs out and, rather exasperated, asks Noland if he's been playing around with that thing again. Noland replies that he isn't playing, it's his hobby. The assistant asks what the difference is, and Noland doesn't have an answer. Noland introduces the assistant as [[Sergio]], his number one apprentice. Scott asks Noland to introduce himself. He introduces himself as Factory Head Noland, and Scott explains to Ash that that means he's the [[Frontier Brain]] of the Battle Factory. Ash introduces himself and says he's there to challenge Noland.

Team Rocket is watching from a nearby tree. Realizing Noland's affinity for machines, they decide to steal some mecha parts in addition to the Pokémon.

Sergio calls out that it's [[Pokéblock]] time, and about a dozen powerful-looking Pokémon come running. May's Munchlax comes out of its [[Poké Ball]] to join them in the meal. May is about to call it back, but Sergio assures her that there is plenty of Pokéblock for everyone. Ash asks Noland if all these Pokémon are his. Noland says yes, and that more Pokémon give more possibilities for battles. He asks Ash which ones he wants to battle, and says Ash can pick as many as he wants. Ash has trouble deciding. Does he want to face Venusaur, the final form of {{p|Bulbasaur}}? Rhyhorn, for a test of power? Machamp, with its {{type|Fighting}} moves? While he's considering the options, Munchlax grabs one of the bowls of Pokéblock, and runs off into a nearby building. May and Max give chase.

Team Rocket is watching from on top of a building. They're impressed by the apparent strength of the Pokémon, and plan to take them all. James is a bit worried about whether they'll be able to get so many, but Meowth says to just leave it to him.

Max says he wants to fly with Articuno, and Noland offers to take him up in the plane. Max invites Pikachu along, and they take to the air. Before long, Noland and Articuno are competing at fancy flying. May, Brock, and Scott, watching from the ground, are so enthralled that they don't even notice Ash is gone until he gets back. Brock asks where he was, and Ash says he was just making a quick phone call. Just then, Scott notices something else in the sky.

It's Team Rocket in a new mecha, making a very rapid descent to land near them. After the motto, Ash asks what they're there for. They respond that they're there to take the Battle Factory's Pokémon, of course. Ash orders Pikachu to attack, then remembers that Pikachu is up in the plane with Max. He decides to use Grovyle instead, but before he can send it out, one of the mecha's many hands grabs the Poké Ball right out of his hand. The mecha then takes to the air, grabs about half of Noland's Pokémon (the other half run away), and is about to fly off when Noland rams it with his plane. The Pokémon are released, and the mecha comes crashing down. Noland makes known that he finds Team Rocket's mecha interesting before asking Articuno to get rid of them. It grabs the mecha in its claws, lifts it off the ground (at this point just about everyone comments on its strength), and throws it high into the air, where an {{m|Ice Beam}} finishes it off.

That night, Noland asks Ash if he's decided which Pokémon he wants to battle, and he says yes. Max thinks he'll go for Venusaur, and May thinks Rhyhorn, but Ash says neither. He wants to go one-on-one against Articuno. This surprises everyone, except possibly Noland. He just turns to Articuno, asks if it agrees to this, and when its reply is affirmative, asks what Pokémon Ash will be using. Ash looks up towards the moon, and says "that one."
