Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] crashes onto shore in their {{DL|Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp Submarine}}, and they all quickly abandon ship, yelling in fright. After they take cover behind some boulders, [[Jessie]] asks {{MTR}} exactly why they had to run. Before Meowth can answer, the sub is swept away by a giant wave. They stare in stunned silence before arguing over whose fault it was, and over the fact that they’re now stranded. Then they hear the same "one…two…one…two…" that Ash and his friends heard earlier, and also decide to investigate. | Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] crashes onto shore in their {{DL|Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp Submarine}}, and they all quickly abandon ship, yelling in fright.

The source of the chants turns out to be a nearby open area where a group of weightlifters are doing various exercises. One man wearing sunglasses is doing arm exercises with a heavy-looking steel [[Poké Ball]], another man is lifting a {{p|Geodude}} on each hand as if they were dumbbells, and a woman is doing sit-ups while a {{p|Blastoise}} spots her. Other exercises are going on in the background. Ash and friends watch as the leader of the weightlifting group, [[Rocky]], shouts encouragement to his friends. He then approaches and introduces himself. Brock asks Rocky if there are any shops nearby, and he says that there are none. He then asks about Ash’s journey, and then Ash figures out that the weight Trainers are also | The source of the chants turns out to be a nearby open area where a group of weightlifters are doing various exercises.

Everyone introduces themselves, and Rocky explains his group’s philosophy: when Trainers work on improving their strength, it inspires their Pokémon to do the same and thereby become stronger in battle. At Rocky’s invitation, Ash, [[Max]], and Brock decide to try the weight training, much to May’s dismay. | ||
Of course, Team Rocket is watching this whole scene from the nearby bushes. Meowth gets the idea that they should join the weight-training group as well. He has a [[Boss fantasy|vision]] of a paranoid Boss being comforted by the presence of a noticeably bulked-up Jessie, [[James]], and Meowth as his bodyguards. Meowth begins to cheer, but Jessie interrupts him, saying it’s a stupid idea. James, however, is fired up, believing that physical weakness is a big reason they keep losing to the [[twerp]]s and have yet to capture {{AP|Pikachu}}. Jessie and Meowth are unimpressed by James’s dramatic display. Suddenly, the shades-wearing guy from earlier shows up and asks if they want to join the training program with the others. Jessie and Meowth are hesitant, but James immediately accepts. | Of course, Team Rocket is watching this whole scene from the nearby bushes.
