{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} are excited as they spot [[Veilstone City]]. Their excitement is cut short when a blue sphere of energy flies towards them. They ducked and noticed multiple spheres coming from one spot, Ash identifying them as {{m|Aura Sphere}}s. They head to the source, {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} leading.

Ash, having [[M08|encountered a Lucario before]], is thrilled to see it and checks his [[Pokédex]] as Lucario battles the woman. She dodges the Pokémon’s attacks and even kicks an Aura Sphere back to Lucario, the Pokémon standing aside and dodging the attack. Ash is awed while {{an|Brock}} fills {{an|Dawn}} in on what Aura Spheres are and how they’re connected to [[aura]].

Suddenly, {{m|Thunder|an electric attack}} strikes near Ash and his friends, tossing Piplup facedown onto the field as Pikachu defends Piplup. An {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} comes out from behind a tree snickering, Pikachu shocked at who the adversary is, apparently recognizing it. Ash and his friends notice as Piplup rushes towards Electabuzz, Pikachu following. Piplup {{m|headbutt}}s Electabuzz right in the chest, but it repulses the Penguin Pokémon, making it crash into Pikachu. Both Pikachu and Piplup are angry and get into a hand-to-hand brawl with Electabuzz. Ash and his friends try to stop the fight, but wind up getting shocked. The woman and Lucario stop sparring and notice the situation, Lucario launching an Aura Sphere into the fiasco, stopping the battle and dazing the Pokémon. She rushes up to them and apologizes for Lucario’s rough action, but Lucario shrugs it off. A [[Reggie|purple-haired man]] comes up to help, identifying [[Maylene]], who in turn identifies him as [[Reggie]]. Electabuzz tries to sneak away, but Reggie catches the Pokémon, Electabuzz turning around and laughing sheepishly. Ash suggests that maybe the Electabuzz is [[Paul]]’s, which Pikachu confirms. Maylene and Reggie take note of the comment and Reggie identifies Pikachu as one that can use {{m|Volt Tackle}}. He formally introduces himself and mentions that he is Paul’s older brother, shocking Ash and his friends, as well as confirming that the Electabuzz is indeed Paul’s and that he leaves some of {{cat|Paul's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} with Reggie to train since he's a {{pkmn|Breeder}}. After formal introductions, Ash brings up his goal form a [[gym]] battle and asks if Paul has already won a [[badge]] in Veilstone.

After formal introductions, Ash brings up his goal form a [[gym]] battle and asks if Paul has already won a [[badge]] in Veilstone. Reggie mentions that Paul defeated Maylene, pointing her as the [[Gym Leader]]. Ash formally asks for a gym battle, but she declines, which causes Lucario to blast her with an Aura Sphere. Reggie explains why Lucario is upset at Maylene for wanting to give up and is simply trying to help her out. [[Team Rocket]] eavesdrops nearby and plans to steal the powerful Lucario. | ||

Reggie mentions that despite being well respected as a battler, her short rein as Gym Leader is causing her to have doubts about her fighting abilities. Maylene continues to plead as Lucario launches another Aura Sphere, which Maylene blocks without looking. Reggie confronts her, asking if what Paul said upset her. Ash asks what happened, and Reggie fills Ash in regarding what happened in Paul's battle against Maylene. | ||
The [[Veilstone Gym]] is a {{type2|Fighting}} Gym, and therefore Paul brought {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon to use {{t|Flying|type advantage}}. Reggie explains that Paul's {{TP|Paul|Murkrow}} had recently [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Honchkrow}} which took out Maylene’s {{p|Meditite}} and {{p|Machoke}} in no time. When Maylene then brought out Lucario, Paul used a {{TP|Paul|Magmar}} and as Lucario is part {{type2|Steel}} it was defeated just as quickly by Magmar's {{type2|Fire}} moves. Maylene acknowledges her poor performance and lack of sync with her Pokémon and says that what Paul said after she gave him his badge was true. Ash asks what Paul said. | The [[Veilstone Gym]] is a {{type2|Fighting}} Gym, and therefore Paul brought {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon to use {{t|Flying|type advantage}}.

Reggie admits that Paul always had a cruel streak, but Maylene is upset at the memory and runs off, Lucario starting to follow but stopping. Reggie offers to console Maylene and apologizes to Ash about the situation. Brock suggests to find another gym for the time being but Dawn steps forward and offers to talk to Maylene instead. Lucario leads Dawn and Piplup to the location as Ash wonders what her plan is. | Reggie admits that Paul always had a cruel streak, but Maylene is upset at the memory and runs off, Lucario starting to follow but stopping.

However, seeing Dawn gets her attention. Back at Reggie's home, he feeds Pikachu and {{AP|Chimchar}} while talking to Ash and Brock about Maylene's doubts about being a Gym Leader, something Brock [[Pewter Gym|is familiar with]]. Dawn talks with Maylene about her similar feelings, having suffered [[DP049|two]] [[DP061|previous]] {{pkmn|Contest}} letdowns recently which have led to her taking a break from contests for a while. While Piplup exercises and swims, both continue to share their similar doubts, how Dawn may tie down Ash's progress and Maylene letting down Lucario. Team Rocket, eavesdropping the whole time, reveal themselves and recite their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]], wanting Lucario. Maylene gets ready to battle, as with Lucario. | ||
Meanwhile, Reggie pets Chimchar, remembering it as Paul’s former. Reggie asks how Ash tolerates Paul’s [[rival|rivalry]] and brutal training tactics, which angers him and wanting to be one with his Pokémon. Reggie looks forward to a battle between Ash and Paul. While Team Rocket tries to sway Lucario to join, the Pokémon simply prepares a Bone Rush and sends them flying. Maylene thanks Lucario as Dawn realizes Lucario only wants to battle. Dawn asks for a battle with Maylene as she agrees, Lucario also pleased. | Meanwhile, Reggie pets Chimchar, remembering it as Paul’s former.
