Suddenly, a {{p|Zigzagoon}} pops out of the grass and scurries away. Max is immediately excited and notes that the Zigzagoon appears larger than an average one. Brock suggests that it could be because of Zigzagoon's diet. Several more Zigzagoon appear, so Ash grabs out his [[Pokédex]] for more information. The other Zigzagoon appear to be interested in a nearby {{p|Sentret}} and {{p|Pinsir}} horde. Just then, an even larger Zigzagoon makes its presence known by speaking out and sounding very much like a human. It is revealed that the giant Zigzagoon actually was a human when he takes off his Zigzagoon suit. 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 [[Evolution|evolve]] into humans, leaving Max wondering if he and May are really related. As the Trainer prepares to challenge the Zigzagoon, May and Max approach him for a closer inspection. May is still doubtful and grabs the Trainer's face before she is finally convinced. Meanwhile, the Zigzagoon walks away. The Trainer yells at May and Max, claiming that it is their fault that he was unable to catch that Zigzagoon. His mood completely changes, however, when he discovers that they are wearing knickers. | Suddenly, a {{p|Zigzagoon}} pops out of the grass and scurries away.

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|Tentacruel}}, 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, being too young, offers up May as his opponent. When May tries to turn down the battle, Nicholai accuses her of being afraid to challenge him, provoking her into accepting his challenge. | Ash and Brock make their way over, and the group questions who this Trainer is.

The group moves to a nearby field to battle, and Brock takes his position as the referee. Nicholai sends out his {{p|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 {{t|Water}} Pokémon. Ash declares that May can come up with a strategy, though Max has his doubts. 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. May orders Torchic to use {{m|Ember}}, while Nicholai tells Mudkip to use {{m|Water Gun}}. Water Gun completely drenches the Ember, rendering it useless. May calls for a {{m|Peck}} attack and Max warns May not to let Torchic attack Mudkip straight-on. However, it is too late, as Mudkip blasts Torchic backward with a Water Gun, knocking it to the ground. May runs over and pleads Torchic to get up. However, Torchic is knocked out and Brock announces that Mudkip is the winner. Nicholai declares that it was easy to beat May, and is sure that getting a [[Badge]] at the [[Petalburg Gym]] will be just as easy. He leaves to go catch a Zigzagoon before challenging the Gym. Max is left furious, while Ash, Brock, and May shrug off the insult. While Nicholai is walking through the forest, {{TRT}} spots him and his Mudkip and they commence their plan to capture Mudkip. | The group moves to a nearby field to battle, and Brock takes his position as the referee.
