By now, Ash's stomach is making very loud noises and the gang give up on the Galleria and decide to head back to where they started to get some hamburgers from the stand they came across. Whitney knows exactly where to go and heads up another staircase, but instead of coming out where they started they end up at the Galleria. Whitney realizes she can only really get somewhere when she isn't aiming for it, but in the end they got to the Galleria anyway. Whitney offers the gang a tour and rushes through the automatic doors... except they're not automatic and she slams straight into them. | By now, Ash's stomach is making very loud noises and the gang give up on the Galleria and decide to head back to where they started to get some hamburgers from the stand they came across.

While Ash and his friends may not be enjoying food yet, [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} are inside the Galleria. As the two are enjoying the snacks, [[James]] points out they can't actually afford all this to which Jessie and Meowth tell him they can, as they're eating free sample. James, having grown up in a rich household, doesn't quite get the notion of 'free samples' at first, but is soon stuffing his face with his team mates anyway until the store owner arrives asking if they're actually planning to buy anything... cue a motto extolling the pleasures of free food. However the store owner points out that only a small tray is free and {{TRT}} has already scoffed a small fortune. With no money (and the offer of an I.O.U. declined), the three are immediately put to work by the owner. But the idea of working off their debt is quickly forgotten when they spot Whitney's Clefairy, separated from the others, walking around the store. Knowing that the chance to grab such a rare Pokémon doesn't come around very often, they decide to grab it and send it to {{an|Giovanni|the Boss}}. | While Ash and his friends may not be enjoying food yet, [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} are inside the Galleria.

Having finished their shopping, Whitney makes her goodbyes to the gang when she notices her Clefairy is missing. Piling all their shopping onto Brock, they begin looking for Clefairy. Team Rocket, however, are able to grab it first and upon encountering Ash and friends, decides the best way to get away with Clefairy is to run for it. Ash, Misty, Whitney and Pikachu start to run after them while Brock stumbles behind with numerous boxes. | Having finished their shopping, Whitney makes her goodbyes to the gang when she notices her Clefairy is missing.

Team Rocket spot the station for the [[Magnet Train]], a brand spanking new super-fast monorail. They decide to make a getaway in it and, reaching the platform, ask a member of staff when the next train is to which they learn it's due in just over a year. The Magnet Train is so brand spanking new it isn't actually built yet. This allows Ash, Misty and Whitney to catch up, yelling to give back Clefairy. Spotting a handcar, Jessie and James start furiously pedaling and Team Rocket are soon very slowly getting away. Pikachu gives chase by walking next to them, and Ash orders a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Jessie asks him not to, and gives Clefairy back. Whitney thanks Ash, but then Meowth takes the opportunity to grab Pikachu. The handcar is moving again, and Whitney orders Clefairy to use {{m|Metronome}} which produces a {{m|Gust}}. This grabs Pikachu right out of Meowth's paws and returns him to Ash. Now Team Rocket isn't interested in getting away with a Pokémon but just getting away.

This activates the magnetic propulsion systems which sends Team Rocket shooting down the line. Jessie is happy that they are finally riding the Magnet Train fast and free, but Meowth points out that they won't be so fast and free when the line ends as they disappear down a tunnel... | ||
Ash thanks Whitney for her help, but Whitney was only too happy to help and tells him she'd love to have a [[Pokémon battle]] against him. Ash thanks her but tells her that he's busy getting ready for a battle at the Gym the next day. Whitney laughs and asks why Ash didn't tell her as she could have guided him to the Gym straight away. Misty tells her they were there but it's closed for the day. Whitney tells the gang that while it's meant to be the Gym Leader's day off, she can open the Gym for them. Ash, never one to easily put two and two together, asks if she's the Gym's cleaning lady which causes her to laugh again as she realizes what she never told the gang. It turns out that Whitney is the Goldenrod Gym Leader! | Ash thanks Whitney for her help, but Whitney was only too happy to help, and tells him she'd love to have a [[Pokémon battle]] against him.

At the Gym, the referee announces the rules. It will be a three-on-three battle, with a {{Badge|Plain}} at stake. Both Ash and Whitney are psyched for the match, and the referee begins the match. | At the Gym, the referee announces the rules. It will be a three-on-three battle, with a {{Badge|Plain}} at stake.

Whitney reminds Ash she still has one Pokémon left which is also her strongest. She throws the [[Poké Ball]] which releases a {{TP|Whitney|Miltank}}. Ash looks Miltank up on his [[Pokédex]] which paints Miltank as a Pokémon who prefers not to battle. Whitney orders Miltank to use a {{m|Rollout}}, and Miltank rolls into a fast-spinning ball and slams straight into Cyndaquil sending it flying. Ash orders a {{m|Tackle}} and Cyndaquil attempts to hit Miltank dead on just to take another hard hit for its trouble. Miltank turns around for another strike, and Brock suggests Ash switch Pokémon. Cyndaquil takes an even bigger hit and Misty also advises Ash to switch Cyndaquil out. But it's too late and Cyndaquil takes a final hit and is knocked out. Ash returns Cyndaquil to its Poké Ball and thanks it for a good battle. Miltank is still full of energy. | Whitney reminds Ash she still has one Pokémon left which is also her strongest.

Ash is now taking the match a lot more seriously and sends out {{AP|Totodile}}. Whitney orders another Rollout, which heads straight for Totodile. Ash orders a {{m|Water Gun}}, but it doesn't even manage to slow Miltank down and the Milk Cow Pokémon is rapidly approaching. Whitney laughs that Rollout gets stronger and stronger the longer it lasts. Ash tells Totodile to get out of the way but it's too late and Miltank hits Totodile with Rollout, knocking Totodile out with only one hit! Ash recalls Totodile, and Miltank is still spinning around the battlefield constantly gaining more and more power. Ash tries to think of way to defeat Miltank, and Brock tells Ash that Totodile got Miltank wet, so an {{type|Electric}} attack should work. Ash agrees, and sends in Pikachu and commands him to use Thunderbolt. Pikachu hits dead-on, but it has no effect on the still-spinning Miltank. Whitney tells Ash that, while it was a smart idea, Miltank is spinning so fast, she's already dry. Ash decides to switch strategy and has Pikachu use {{m|Agility}} to try to outrun Miltank, but it's no use as Miltank is just too fast and gets a direct hit. Pikachu is slammed across the arena, and gets up very much the worse for wear. But he's barely up when Miltank hits again and Pikachu is once again sent flying. The Electric Mouse Pokémon tries to get up, but he can't and faints. Ash has lost the match and Whitney is declared the winner. | Ash is now taking the match a lot more seriously, and sends out {{AP|Totodile}}.

Whitney recalls Miltank and thanks Ash for a good match, and should he ever want a rematch she'll be happy to give him one. Whitney and Clefairy leave the Gym, and as Ash cradles Pikachu he knows that a rematch would be pointless. Whitney and Miltank are far too powerful, and Ash doesn't have a clue how he's going to defeat them. | Whitney recalls Miltank and thanks Ash for a good match, and should he ever want a rematch, she'll be happy to give him one.
