{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} visit {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Lab]] for some advice on training for the [[Pokémon League]]. Oak suggests that if Ash wants to compete, he should get on his way immediately. Ash heads back to his house to get his bag, while Professor Oak and {{Delia}} wish him well as he sets on his way for the Pokémon League. Brock leads Ash and Misty through a grass field, suggesting it as a shortcut to the [[Indigo Plateau]], when a shadow suddenly flies by and jumps into the air. The shadow lands in front of them and is revealed to be a Pokémon Trainer named [[Otoshi]], who challenges Ash to a [[Pokémon battle]], after he realizes that they are heading to the Pokémon League. However, he tells Ash that the loser must give up all eight of their [[Badge]]s to the winner. Ash turns down the offer and starts heading back on his way when Otoshi suggests that Ash is afraid of losing to him. This tempts Ash into agreeing to the battle, despite Brock and Misty's warnings.

The battle begins, with Otoshi's {{p|Marowak}} against [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Ash looks up Marowak on his [[Pokédex]], which suggests that despite Marowak's small size, its strength is quite impressive. Brock warns Ash not to get caught off guard by Marowak's strength. Ash commands Bulbasaur to use {{m|Tackle}} against Marowak, though Marowak dodges. Ash instructs Bulbasaur to use {{m|Vine Whip}} as Otoshi tells Marowak to use {{m|Focus Energy}} and then {{m|Bone Club}} to deflect the attack. Then Marowak rushes over and attacks Bulbasaur, causing critical damage. Ash substitutes with {{AP|Pikachu}} for Bulbasaur. Pikachu charges towards Marowak, but Marowak's flurry of Bone Club attacks force Pikachu to have to dodge the attacks. Then Pikachu jumps out and uses {{m|Thunder Shock}} against Marowak, causing it to faint.

Misty demands that they show them all that they own, just in case if they were lying. After they give a good search, Brock pronounces that it's all just junk. Meowth tells Ash and the gang that Jessie had stolen them. Marowak starts throwing a tantrum, and Meowth translates to Otoshi that Marowak doesn't want to be his Pokémon anymore, with the Badges stolen, all of its hard work had gone to waste (presumably also because the former had already proven his worthlessness by having fallen for such an obvious trap). When Otoshi asks Marowak to stay, the Bone Keeper Pokémon knocks Otoshi's hand away and leaves him.

Ash, Misty, and Brock agree that they all have to find Jessie and the Badges or else Marowak may never come back. However, James and Meowth begin to give chase as well to find Jessie first. Jessie is then revealed to have donned a disguise in order to fool Ash, Misty, Brock, Otoshi, James, and Meowth.
Ash and his friends agree that they all have to find Jessie and the Badges or else Marowak may never come back. However, James and Meowth begin to give chase as well to find Jessie first. Jessie is then revealed to have donned a disguise.


Jessie spots a Trainer admiring his Badges, and after seeing how pretty the Badges look, she begins thinking about taking them. Above Jessie and the Trainer are James and Meowth in the Team Rocket Balloon. James guesses that the woman beside the Trainer is Jessie by the style of clothing she is wearing. Meowth agrees and decides to land, right as Jessie attempts to steal the Badges of the other Trainer. James and Meowth then throw a smoke bomb at them. James begins to recite their motto, then Jessie joins in, and the Trainer runs away after realizing that the woman is a member of Team Rocket. James declares from then on that Team Rocket shall steal as a team and not as individuals.
