{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are sitting next to a pond, watching their Pokémon play in it, when they see an {{t|Electric}} [[move]] coming down on them from the sky. They evade it at the last second, though the attack obliterates the ground. Suddenly as {{p|Electrike}} bolts towards them, which {{an|Dawn}} scans on her [[Pokédex]]. The Electrike accidentally zaps Ash. A man soon follows and apologizes, before introducing himself as [[Jaco]], a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} who is currently training the Electrike. He bends down to examine {{AP|Staravia}} closer, and he complimenting it while he reveals his passion for {{type|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. {{OBP|Cal|DP042}} is close behind, and reveals that he runs the nearby Pokémon Training Center for Electric types | {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are sitting next to a pond, watching their Pokémon play in it, when they see an {{t|Electric}} [[move]] coming down on them from the sky.

The group go down to the school only to find it mostly abandoned, though Cal admits that Jaco and Electrike are the last remaining students as everyone else already graduated. Cal explains that the Training Center is deisgned to train Electrike Pokémon like Electrike to work in the power generation industry. He provides a demonstration of another Electrike's training. He orders the Pokémon to use {{m|Charge}} followed by {{m|Thunder}}. The Electrike proves its ability to manipulate electricity by changing its direction to the left, upward and then on a quick descent before hitting the target while Jaco's Electrike watches closely from the sidelines. | The group go down to the school only to find it mostly abandoned, though Cal admits that Jaco and Electrike are the last remaining students as everyone else already graduated.

After Cal leaves, Jaco expresses his disappointment with his Electrike, being more used to working with Flying types than Electric types. {{an|Brock}} volunteers to help coach Jaco in training Electrike, and the budding Breeder accepts the offer. Meanwhile, from their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp submarine]], {{TRT}} spies on the scene and figures Electrike is a good candidate to kidnap. [[James]] and {{MTR}} point out that this Electrike is unstable, and has not matured yet. [[Jessie]] suggests that they wait for the [[twerp]]s to do the work for them, then swoop in and steal it. | After Cal leaves, Jaco expresses his disappointment with his Electrike, being more used to working with Flying types than Electric types. {{an|Brock}} volunteers to help coach Jaco in training Electrike, and the budding Breeder accepts the offer.

Later, Brock explains the importance of brushing a Pokémon. Jaco starts by brushing Electrike, but gets zapped by it to which Brock explains not to use a metal brush. Next, the scene turns to Electrike's training. It starts with Charge followed by {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but it loses control over the attack and accidentally hits Ash again. Upon seeing this, Brock suggests Ash and Dawn call out their Electric Pokémon, {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} respectively, for a demonstration. Pikachu hits the target with no problem, but Pachirisu overcharges and blasts Ash. Dawn gives Pachirisu a [[Poffin]], and it succeeds the second time.

Brock tells Jaco that Electrike is more powerful than other Electric-type Pokémon. Later, Jaco walks in on Brock as he prepares {{pkmn|food}} for the Pokémon. Brock gives him some advice on {{pkmn|breeding}} not only Electric types, but how all different [[type]]s need different treatments. | ||
That evening, Pikachu is training with Electrike while being remotely watched by James and Meowth who start to feel the bond of partnership the two have and are inspired for them to see it through. Ironically, Jessie has gotten tired of waiting despite her earlier advice and has them rush in. They resort to their {{motto}}, but James and Meowth are not impressed with Jessie's plan to steal Electrike, and they attempt to hold her back, saying they should not stop Jaco and Electrike's training and that if they wanted to steal the Pokémon, she should do so herself - ending up with Jessie running away crying.

James and Meowth offer to keep helping Electrike, stunning Ash and his friends. | ||
The following morning, after a meal courtesy of Jaco, Pikachu and Electrike resume their training. Jaco orders Electrike to Charge again and hit the target with a Thunderbolt, this time succeeding. Then Ash, Meowth, and James dress in electric-insulating jackets in order to help Electrike learn to control its electricity. Cal shows up in his car and is visibly impressed by the progress. | The following morning, after a meal courtesy of Jaco, Pikachu and Electrike resume their training.

Jessie returns later, in her [[Team Rocket's mechas|own pink mecha]] to steal Electrike. Pikachu attacks, but her machine is insulated. While held captive in the mecha's hand, Electrike [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Manectric}}, shattering the restraint. With Manectric too big for Jessie's hands now, she steals Pikachu instead. James and Meowth hop onto the back and hack a hole for Manectric to hit. Jessie | Jessie returns later, in her [[Team Rocket's mechas|own pink mecha]] to steal Electrike.

Jessie resorts to another plan and sends her machine up in the air. Manectric has gained a lot of power, improved aim and electricity control, manages to raise a Thunder attack to destroy the mecha and send Team Rocket blasting off, but James and Meowth don't mind - they are happy for Electrike succeeding and evolving. | ||
Afterward, Cal shows up and congratulates Jaco and the group on their good work. He declares that Manectric has officially graduated and soon leaves to drop it off to work at a power generator. Jaco bids his farewell to Manectric as he leaves with Cal, while the group heads off to [[Hearthome City]]. | Afterward, Cal shows up and congratulates Jaco and the group on their good work.
