Determined to retrieve the Badges, Ash and the others start fishing, with Sullivan offering them various fishing rods and lures. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} are also trying to get a hold of the same Whiscash (figuring if they capture it, they will get both a new Pokémon and a bunch of Badges). While {{TRT}} actually spots the elusive Whiscash, Ash, Sullivan and company start fishing. While Ash and the others are not successful at catching anything, Sullivan gets a nibble from a Pokémon every few seconds, but none are Whiscash, so he tosses them all back. Ash asks Sullivan to teach them the secret to fishing, and Sullivan begins to teach them the "art of angling". Max again accidentally insults Sullivan by telling him his first lesson—fish where there are water Pokémon, is obvious, but everyone again calls Sullivan a legend to cheer him up. When Sullivan shows them how to cast the line properly, Max casts perfectly on the first try, again insulting Sullivan, who has spent decades perfecting his technique. Max gets a nibble from this cast—and a Whiscash, though not Nero, surfaces. However, Nero does appear right next to the hooked Pokémon, and taunts Ash by showing him the Badge case before disappearing. | Determined to retrieve the Badges, Ash and the others start fishing, with Sullivan offering them various fishing rods and lures.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is fishing using James' bottle cap collection as lures. Things take a turn for the crazier when a hooked {{p|Feebas}} bites onto Jessie’s hair, which Jessie flicks off. This gives Meowth an idea, because in the next scene he's suggested Team Rocket fish using Jessie's hair as a rod and lure | Meanwhile, Team Rocket is fishing using James' bottle cap collection as lures. Things take a turn for the crazier when a hooked {{p|Feebas}} bites onto Jessie’s hair, which Jessie flicks off. This gives Meowth an idea, because in the next scene he's suggested Team Rocket fish using Jessie's hair as a rod and lure. Another Feebas bites onto Jessie's hair yet again. Meanwhile, Sullivan proclaims he can sense Nero nearby and casts his line—but hooks only a {{p|Magikarp}}. However, Ash does manage to hook Nero, who takes the would-be anglers and their small boat on a ride towards a pile of rocks. Ash calls out {{AP|Corphish}} and orders it to use {{m|Crabhammer}} on him—which sends Ash flying onto the rocks and putting the boat out of danger. The momentum allows Ash to pull Nero out of the water. Ash calls out {{AP|Grovyle}}, and attacks Nero, but the giant Pokémon simply laughs at Ash. However, it's Team Rocket that seem to have the last laugh—they net Nero the Whiscash from the middle of the battle. Team Rocket quickly escaped using their enhanced balloon. Brock calls out {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} and {{TP|Brock|Lombre}} and orders both to use {{m|Water Gun}}, and Ash orders Grovyle to use {{m|Bullet Seed}}. Team Rocket is unable to outrun the attacks due to Nero's enormous weight, and the Bullet Seed brings down the balloon. Team Rocket call out their Pokémon for a battle (which Ash combats with Pikachu and Grovyle). Whiscash escapes from its net and uses {{m|Earthquake}}, and Pikachu sends Team Rocket blasting off with {{m|Thunder}}. The smoke from the blast-off causes Whiscash to cough, bringing up Ash's Badge case and Badges. | ||
Sullivan | Sullivan challenges Nero to a battle, sending out Hannah, his {{p|Flaaffy}}. Using Flaaffy's {{m|Dynamic Punch}} and {{m|Iron Tail}} while dodging Nero's attacks, Sullivan weakens Nero, then orders Hannah to use {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Unfortunately, Whiscash are part Ground type, and the attack has no effect. Sullivan proclaims that he has a plan to capture Nero, and draws a [[Master Ball]] out of his cloak, a rare and powerful Poké Ball capable of capturing any Pokémon without fail. Sullivan declares that it has taken 50 years just to get a Master Ball, and he throws the powerful ball, but to everyone's shock, Nero simply opens its mouth and swallows it. Nero jumps back into the water, and Sullivan declares that "Tomorrow's another day!" Ash and company cheer up Sullivan by calling him a legend again, before Ash and company bid Sullivan a cheery farewell. Meanwhile, Nero apparently didn't actually eat the Master Ball but swallowed it instead, and is shown to be happily balancing its new toy on the tip of its tongue. | ||
