Suddenly, a {{p|Zigzagoon}} pops out of the grass and scurries away. Max immediately notes that the Zigzagoon that just appeared is much larger than the average Zigzagoon. Brock suggests that it could be because of what that Zigzagoon eats. They follow the giant Zigzagoon and discover a bunch of other Zigzagoon of normal size. The other Zigzagoon appear to be interested in the nearby {{p|Sentret}} and {{p|Pinsir}}. Just then, the giant Zigzagoon makes its presence known by speaking out, and sounding very much like a human. It is then revealed that the giant Zigzagoon actually was a human, when it takes off its Zigzagoon suit, revealing a Trainer. The group of four exclaim in surprise. May freaks out, thinking that the Zigzagoon disguised itself as a human, and Max corrects her by saying that it actually was a human. May comments that she never knew that Zigzagoon could evolve into humans, leaving Max wondering if he and May were really related. | Suddenly, a {{p|Zigzagoon}} pops out of the grass and scurries away.

May is still doubtful, and grabs the Trainer's face before she is finally convinced. Meanwhile, the Zigzagoon gets away. The Trainer yells at May and Max, claiming that it was their fault that he was unable to catch that Zigzagoon. His mood completely changes, however, when he discovers that they are wearing knickers. Ash and Brock make their way over, and the group questions who this Trainer is. Instead of answering the question straightforwardly, the Trainer reveals a few of his [[Pokémon cosplay|Pokémon suits]], including a Zigzagoon, {{p|Tentacool}}, and {{p|Bellossom}}. He finally introduces himself as [[Nicholai]] the knickerbocker, explaining that knickerbockers are Trainers that thrive on communing with nature while exposing their knees. He claims that May and Max are knickerbockers as well, and asks them to introduce themselves. Ash and Brock follow up by introducing themselves, as well, but Nicholai only seems to acknowledge May and Max, telling them that they have two very worthy names for knickerbockers. The two reject the idea of being called knickerbockers. | ||
Brock asks Nicholai why he was dressed in a Zigzagoon. Nicholai says that dressing up as a Pokémon allows him to become one with them and understand their inner feelings, making it easier for him to catch them. He says that he wants to catch a Zigzagoon before challenging the {{ci|Petalburg}} [[Gym Leader]]. May and Max reveal that the Petalburg Gym Leader is [[Norman|their dad]]. Nicholai instantly asks them for a battle, and Max offers up May to battle him since Max is too young to battle. When May tries to turn down the battle, Nicholai accuses her of being afraid to challenge him. She then accepts his challenge. The group moves to a nearby field to battle, and Brock is the referee. Nicholai sends out his Mudkip and quickly changes into a Mudkip costume. May sends out her {{TP|May|Torchic}}, and Nicholai notes that her choice of Pokémon is odd since her {{type|Fire}} is weak against his {{type|Water}}. Brocks announces that the battle has begun, and May tells Torchic to "start attacking" instead of calling out a [[move]]. Torchic's look of determination quickly turns into confusion, while May wonders why Torchic hasn't moved yet. Ash tells May that she has to tell Torchic what attack to use. | Brock asks Nicholai why he was dressed in a Zigzagoon.

Max panics at the number of Zigzagoon surrounding him, and the Zigzagoon jump towards him to get the fruit. Ash and the group have finally caught up and hear Max's cry for help buried somewhere beneath the group of Zigzagoon eating the fruit. Ash commands Pikachu to use Thunderbolt. This succeeds in getting the Zigzagoon to stop surrounding Max, but the Zigzagoon regroup and now surround the group of four. Ash is about to get Pikachu to use {{m|Thunder Shock}}, but Max says that all the Zigzagoon want are the fruit. Brock calmly offers the fruit to the Zigzagoon, but the one in front of him only kicks dirt in his face. May suggests that the Zigzagoon are so angry because they interrupted them just as they were about to eat. Just as the Zigzagoon continue closing in on the group, Nicholai in a Zigzagoon costume jumps into the center of the circle. Somehow in Zigzagoon language, Nicholai manages to get the Zigzagoon to follow him and stop surrounding the group. He leads them to a tree that is growing the same fruit, and gets a bunch of the fruit to fall down from it. He has his Mudkip use Water Gun on the surrounding trees, which gets more of the fruit to fall down. | Max panics at the number of Zigzagoon surrounding him, and the Zigzagoon jump towards him to get the fruit.

All the Zigzagoon are happily eating the fruit as Ash and friends approach Nicholai to thank him. Max apologizes to Nicholai, while Nicholai apologizes back for speaking about his father in that way. Max then asks how Nicholai learned how to speak Zigzagoon. Nicholai says that words aren't needed to communicate; rather, what's important to say what's in his heart. Nicholai picks a Zigzagoon to battle, and the Zigzagoon accepts. He then changes into his Mudkip costume and orders Mudkip to use Water Gun. The Zigzagoon avoids it and {{m|Tackle}}s Mudkip. Eventually, Mudkip manages to land a Water Gun on Zigzagoon, and Nicholai throws a [[Poké Ball]] at it. He successfully captures it, but just as he is celebrating his new capture, something grabs his Mudkip. It turns out that it's Team Rocket on their balloon. Nicholai asks who they are, and the trio proceed with their intro. Ash orders Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but Team Rocket deflects it back at them with a satellite. As they are about to drift away on their balloon, Nicholai refuses to let them leave with his Mudkip. He changes into an {{p|Aipom}} costume, using it to climb up a hill. The wild Zigzagoon see his efforts and begin digging into the ground in an effort to help. | All the Zigzagoon are happily eating the fruit as Ash and his friends approach Nicholai to thank him.

Nicholai changes into a {{p|Gligar}} costume and jumps off a cliff. He flies towards the balloon and snatches away the cage that Mudkip is in. Ash sends out his Taillow and orders it to use Peck which sends Team Rocket's balloon flying around before landing the trio in the pitfall trap that the wild Zigzagoon have dug up using {{m|Dig}}. As they climb out, they find themselves surrounded by Ash and the wild Zigzagoon. Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and James sends out his {{TP|James|Weezing}}. Arbok uses {{m|Poison Sting}} and Weezing uses {{m|Sludge}} while Pikachu dodges everything and hits them with Quick Attack. Finally, Pikachu sends Team Rocket flying with a {{m|Thunder}}.
