{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} come across a scenic valley, which they must pass in order to reach [[Violet City]]. As they continue onward, the ground starts to shake and some large rocks fall from the cliff above. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is sitting by the ledge on the same cliff. When more tremors hit, the rock they are sitting on crumbles beneath them, and the trio falls into the forest below, with tree vines helping to break their fall. Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} continue along a dirt trail, when they stumble upon a {{p|Donphan}} amongst the shrubs. Ash is about to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it when Brock stops him, saying that it must be young due to the short size of its tusks. Brock then suggests catching Donphan because it needs a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}. Ash and Brock then start arguing over who would be the best {{pkmn|Trainer}} for Donphan, only for Misty to cut in and tell them that Donphan is walking away. | {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} come across a scenic valley, which they must pass in order to reach [[Violet City]].

However, Donphan soon recovers by curling up into a ball and rolling at Onix, hitting and defeating it. Ash then sends out his new {{AP|Heracross}}, who uses Tackle, sending Donphan flying backward. Donphan jumps back up and charges forward with another attack. Heracross uses {{m|Horn Attack}}, which hurtles Donphan into a tree trunk. As Ash is about to order his finishing attack, a girl intervenes. She checks on Donphan's health, then threatens to turn Ash in to [[Officer Jenny]] for attempting to steal her Pokémon. Ash apologizes for the misunderstanding and explains that he and Brock thought that Donphan was a [[wild Pokémon]]. At that moment, Brock starts flirting with the girl, who identifies herself as [[Rochelle]]. Disapproving of Brock's advances, she pulls away as Brock comments on her amberite necklace. Rochelle informs the group that all of the Donphan are hers, and Ash agrees to desist from trying to catch any of them. After denying Ash's request for a {{pkmn|battle}}, Rochelle walks into the trees and disappears. | ||
Elsewhere, Team Rocket has donned | Elsewhere, Team Rocket has donned {{DL|List of Team Rocket's disguises|Johto|orange ranger outfits}} to avoid suspicion as they plot to mine the valley for rare amberite. {{MTR}} explains that he overheard a conversation back at a mountain rest stop, which revealed that Donphan are able to "sniff out" amberite. At that, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] set their sights on finding a Donphan to aid their efforts. The trio steals Rochelle's Donphan by capturing it in a net and flying away with it in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]]. However, Donphan does not immediately obey Team Rocket's orders. James tries a different approach and offers it a meal of plants and leaves that he collected. Donphan accepts the bribe and begins to help them. Their efforts to find the amberite are not fruitful, however, as Donphan is unable to find any amberite in the area. | ||
Ash and his friends stumble across Rochelle again as she tries to locate her missing Donphan. With Rochelle's description, Ash and the group realize the culprits are Team Rocket, and they agree to assist Rochelle. After {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} cannot find the stolen Donphan with {{m|Supersonic}} due to interference from the trees, Rochelle blows a high-pitched whistle. Almost immediately, a herd of Donphan appears by her side. It is revealed that Rochelle has not trained the stolen Donphan to respond to the whistle, since it is too young and she has not had enough time to do so. The Donphan are ordered by Rochelle to find the missing herd member. Shortly after, the group locates Team Rocket, who recites their {{motto}} and sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}}. Brock calls on Onix for assistance and holds Victreebel in a {{m|bind}}, but it is put to {{status|sleep}} by Victreebel's {{m|Sleep Powder}}. Ash and Misty promptly send out Heracross and {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}}, respectively. Poliwag {{m|Double Slap}}s Victreebel and follows up with {{m|Bubble}}, while Heracross | Ash and his friends stumble across Rochelle again as she tries to locate her missing Donphan.

To finish things off, {{AP|Pikachu}} strikes them with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, causing the hot-air balloon to burst and sending Team Rocket flying off into the distance. | ||
Relieved to have her Donphan back, Rochelle agrees to show Ash and his friends a demonstration of her Donphan's amberite-finding skills. After taking a quick sniff of Rochelle's necklace, her most experienced Donphan charges at a nearby cliff. Ash and his friends soon realize that it was the Donphan causing the tremors. Suddenly, some rubble falls to the ground and smashes open to reveal the amberite inside.

After taking a quick sniff of Rochelle's necklace, her most experienced Donphan charges at a nearby cliff. Ash and his friends soon realize that it was the Donphan causing the tremors. Suddenly, some rubble falls to the ground and smashes open to reveal the amberite inside. Rochelle picks up the sample and explains that she supplies local artists and jewelers with amberite. As thanks, Rochelle agrees to a one-on-one battle against Ash. He selects Heracross, while Rochelle agrees to use her most experienced Donphan. Donphan starts off with Tackle, but Heracross uses {{m|Endure}} to resist the attack and tosses his opponent out of the way. Donphan recovers and strikes Heracross with a {{m|Rollout}} attack from behind. Heracross is sent into a tree and is momentarily distracted by its sap. Donphan tries another Tackle, but Heracross negates the attack with his large horn. Ash sees his opportunity and has Heracross toss Donphan into the air. However, Donphan uses Rollout and then knocks Heracross out with Tackle. Ash runs over to Heracross's side but is unfazed by the loss. Rochelle commends Ash on his teamwork and Heracross's strength, while Ash is grateful for the battle experience. At sunset, Ash and his friends say their goodbyes to Rochelle and her Donphan, as they continue on their {{pkmn|journey}} to Violet City. | ||
