The episode starts as usual, {{ashfr|the gang}} walking across an open field. They notice a patter in the grass nearby them that looks like a circle with a X in the middle of it. What could be? All of a sudden a ball that has a leaf-like tail connected drops on them. They duck down thinking it's a bomb or something (after all {{TRT}} has a reputation of doing that). They look up wondering what's going on and Ash spots a [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|balloon]] in the distance, it's shaped like {{p|Fearow}} with one pulling it! The balloon lands down next to them and a boy jumps out of it. He says his name is {{jo|Skyler}} and he's training up for a balloon race that's pretty big.

Skyler takes them over to a garage where a man is working on a balloon designs, this is [[Tenma]]. Tenma designs balloons after {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} for a race, as there is a picture gallery on the wall next to him with various Pokémon-shaped balloons. Tenma gets an idea and sets up a {{p|Pikachu}} balloon for the gang to ride in and train for the race themselves. They take off and do a few check-ups, before letting out a {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon to drag the balloon faster. Ash sends out {{AP|Noctowl}} while Skyler uses his Fearow. Noctowl helps to make the balloon go faster but he goes too fast and causes the balloon the tilt. Tenma tells them to slow down a bit and Noctowl does so.

Ash and Skyler get to the target area and they toss the ball to the target, both getting bull-eyes. However there seems to be a slight problem, there's only one balloon burner and two winners. Ash tells Skyler he should take the prize, after all, Ash doesn't go by balloon anyways. They soon depart for their next destination...
