{{an|Casey}} watches the Electabuzz in their latest [[baseball]] match. One of the players prepares to throw and misses, leading to the loss of the Electabuzz. Casey is left disappointed and longs for the return of the star pitcher of the team, [[Corey Demario]]. She goes to sit on a park bench, still mulling over the Electabuzz's 10-match losing streak.  

As a {{p|Charizard}} named Don runs towards her, Casey orders her Pokémon to stop it, but they are knocked out by Don. It almost knocks Casey out when its owner manages to save her at the limit. He apologizes to her, but Casey is left stunned as she recognizes her rescuer as Corey Demario. Still amazed she asks him about his shoulder. He tells her that it is taking a long time to heal. He tells her that he has been helping his father [[Shigeo]] with his ranch during the recovery. Casey introduces herself when Corey's younger brother [[Benny Demario|Benny]] shows up. He reveals that Corey gave his Charizard to him. Next, Don is seen being afraid of Casey's Pokémon to which Corey explains that Don isn't fit to battle because it hasn't used {{m|Flamethrower}} for a long time. Also, Benny says it forgot how to fly. At that moment, Casey quickly agrees to help him train his Charizard to breathe flames and to fly. She proceeds to sing the Electabuzz theme song. Upon hearing the song, Charizard stands up and Casey starts talking to it. Corey thinking the song helped it, orders Don to use Flamethrower. Attempting to do so, Don only manages to release a small patch of smoke. Casey encourages it to try again and with tears in its eyes, Don forces itself to do it but with no chance of success. Due to its failure, Don turns back and runs off with Benny following it. Corey asks Casey to join him along with his brother and his father for dinner at his father's ranch.  

At the ranch, Casey sees a large collection of Corey's photos playing with the Electabuzz. While talking to Shigeo, Casey learns that Corey's shoulder healed months ago but he deliberately did not go back into baseball because he lost his confidence. Benny shows up and Shigeo tells him that Casey is going to help Corey and Don get their fire back. The following day, Casey starts instructing Don, Corey, and Benny. Shigeo spies on them behind a tree hoping Casey will succeed. Next, Casey tells them to shout out all their insecurities. She starts saying a line with the others repeating after her. After that, she instructs them to shout at the same time. Next, she informs them that an important step is {{wp|cheerleading}}. They seem reluctant but nevertheless, they all dress in cheerleading costumes and start practicing. Don seems joyful and starts jumping in the air. Upon seeing this, they all encourage it to start flying. It manages to fly about one meter before it quickly falls down. Casey tells Don to try again, and it gains some height each time. Corey is reminded of his attempted comeback, where he was criticized by his teammates. He soon snaps out of it. Casey advises him that Don must battle in order to regain its confidence.

Corey and Benny disagree, saying Don isn't ready to battle, but Casey insists and Shigeo shows up with his {{p|Ampharos}}. Corey is the judge of the match. Ampharos starts with {{m|Tackle}} and hits Don. Casey orders Don to use Flamethrower but fails. Ampharos prepares its {{m|Thunder Punch}} when Casey tells Don to dodge it by flying. It fails again and it is hit by Thunder Punch, losing the match. Casey congratulates Shigeo and his Ampharos for winning the match and starts to be mean to Don. Benny and Corey intervene saying that it is her fault for not giving it the proper training. Corey argues with Casey, which encourages him to train Don himself. As Don and Corey rush over to the mountains for some training, Shigeo congratulates Casey on stoking their spirits. She admits she may have been a bit too harsh, but was pretending to be a horrible coach to Don on purpose.  

After three hours everyone becomes increasingly worried as Don and Corey have failed to return home. Benny says that his older brother would have gone to [[Bloom Canyon]], so Casey sends her Pokémon out and tells them to scout the area. {{TP|Casey|Beedrill}}, having found something, leads Casey to find Don hanging on a tree branch and Corey on a small patch of land just a couple of meters above the water. She scolds Don for not using its wings to help Corey, but Corey explains to her that Don as a {{p|Charmander}} fell into a lake and became afraid of water. Casey starts climbing down the cliff, but an unexpected fierce storm unleashes and the wind blows her away. Corey throws a rope and she manages to grab it while he begins pulling her up.

She hops on his back and he begins climbing up against the strong wind. Corey slips on a rock and they both fall into the water getting caught in a whirlpool. Upon seeing this, Don overcomes its fear of water, dives down, and then takes Corey and Casey up in the sky. As they are on its back, Don reveals it has regained its fire. Corey also makes a surprising change, and with his Electabuzz spirit sparked once more, he plans on making a return to baseball.

Later, Casey, Shigeo, and Benny watch Corey's latest baseball match. As he prepares to throw the ball he sees Don flying above the stadium. Corey marks the target and the Electabuzz win the game.

{{animeevents}}

* {{p|Charizard}} ([[Corey Demario|Corey]]'s; Don)

* This episode aired between [[AG094]] and [[AG095]] in Japan.

* In the Japanese version, {{an|Casey}} reads the title card of this episode.

* The English [[dub]] title is likely a reference to the musical comedy {{wp|Damn Yankees}}.

* The nickname of [[Corey Demario|Corey]]'s {{p|Charizard}}, Don, is likely a reference to Charizard's Japanese name, Lizardon.

* {{an|Casey}} pronounces {{p|Elekid}}'s name as "El-ek-id", with stress placed on the "ek". Casey is the only character to pronounce Elekid this way, all other characters pronounce it as "El-e-kid", with stress placed on the "El".

* Usually, in the 9th inning with less than three runs, a team would bring out their closer on the mound, not letting the starter in as the pitch count would be too high to continue pitching. Corey is left on the mound after loading the bases in the 9th inning which would have brought out the closer. Also, he allowed five runs in which the bullpen should be out earlier in the game.

* The episode menu in the [[Pokémon in the United Kingdom|UK]] DVD release misspells this episode as "Those Darn Electabuzzi".

* After [[Corey Demario|Corey's]] flashback, he and [[Benny Demario|Benny]] are still wearing the cheerleader uniforms, but seconds later they are suddenly in their normal clothes.

===Dub edits===

* A seven-second scene of Don looking at Corey and Casey, then breathing a powerful {{m|Flamethrower}} is cut from the dub.

* Casey mentions that she owns a {{p|Rapidash}} and a {{p|Magmar}} in the dub. However, neither of those Pokémon are referenced in the original Japanese version. Instead, she says Fire-type Pokémon hate water.

* In the original Japanese version, at the end of the episode, Casey pops up after the "To be continued" screen to cheer on her team. This is cut from the English dub.
