{{Incomplete synopsis}}

After {{Ash}}'s Pokémon recover, [[Whitney]] takes the group to spend a day at her uncle's dairy. But Ash only has one thing on his mind: How can he defeat her seemingly unstoppable {{p|Miltank}}? Everyone is in the farmhouse enjoying a cool glass of milk, as [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} take their chances at raiding the pantry for all the dairy produce they can get their hands on. However they are soon discovered by Whitney, and, grabbing all the food they can carry, they run off. Ash gives chase, and {{AP|Pikachu}} attacks the Rockets, causing them to drop the stolen food, which is caught by {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Misty}} and [[Milton]]. Jessie and James send out {{p|Arbok}} and {{p|Weezing}}, and Whitney sends out Miltank. Miltank hits the Rockets with a {{m|Rollout}} and sends them flying.

Ash and Whitney agree to another battle, with Ash's Cyndaquil, Totodile and Pikachu against Whitney's Miltank. Ash starts with Cyndaquil, but it is quickly defeated by Miltank's Rollout. Next Ash uses Totodile, and again has it use Water Gun to dig trenches in the ground. Totodile then launches itself into the air with another Water Gun, and lands on top of Miltank. However Whitney orders Miltank to shake it off, and it does, before hitting it with its Rollout. Ash returns Totodile to its Poké Ball before it even hits the ground. Finally, Ash sends out Pikachu, and orders it to use {{m|Agility}}. Pikachu's speed of moving around causes Miltank to hit some of the trenches in its attempts to attack. As Miltank comes round for another attack, Pikachu positions itself in the bottom of one of the trenches, and as Miltank rolls over the top, Pikachu tosses it into the air. Pikachu uses ThunderShock on the airborne Miltank, and wins the match. Whitney offers Ash the {{Badge|Plain}} and he is surprised, as he has not won an even battle against her, but Milton says something to him, and he accepts it.

*{{Ash}} re{{pkmn|battle}}s [[Whitney]] and wins the {{Badge|Plain}}.

* The Miltank dairy may be based on the [[MooMoo Farm]] in the {{gameabbrev|ga|Gold|Silver}}{{gameabbrev|mes|Crystal}}, though that is found to the west of {{rt|38|Johto}} while the dairy in this episode is located just outside [[Goldenrod City]].

* [[Whitney]]'s {{p|Clefairy}} does not appear in this episode despite it being constantly by her side in [[EP158|the previous episode]].

* In [[EP158|the previous episode]] [[Goldenrod Gym|Whitney's Gym]] states the [[Gym Leader]] will be back tomorrow, yet as this is the next day, Whitney is not at her Gym but at the Miltank dairy.

* Nurse Joy remarks about how well Ash's Totodile and Pikachu fared against Whitney compared to other Trainers' Pokémon. She left out mention of Cyndaquil, even though all three were shown recovering.

* Jessie says that they were on a magnet train when in fact they were on a magnet hand car.

* When Whitney and her Miltank train on a hill, Miltank uses Rollout down the hill, but appears to be spinning in the opposite direction. When it goes back up the hill, its spin is the same.
