It's a bright, sunny day as {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} travel with [[Mr. Briney]] toward [[Dewford Town|Dewford Island]]. They decide to let their Pokémon out to enjoy the day too. {{TRT}} are in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp submarine]], following the boat. The boat is leaving them behind, so they start pedaling as fast as they can. Excluding Team Rocket, all the people and Pokémon are relaxing and having a great time. [[Max]] and {{an|May}} decide they want to go swimming, but Ash wants to go straight to the Gym. However, the others are able to convince him that one swim won't stop him from becoming a [[Pokémon Master]], so they change course and head for an island shaped like a crescent moon. As they sail on, a shape under the water is following them, and it's not Team Rocket. Mr. Briney tells them that he discovered the island they're going to, and it's not on any map. May comes out in a new swimsuit that she bought in [[Rustboro City]], and she and Max jump into the water. Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and all the Pokémon except {{TP|May|Torchic|Blaziken}} decide to go in too, but then they hear screaming. May and Max are surrounded by {{p|Sharpedo}}! Mr. Briney has [[Peeko]] carry them back to the boat, while Pikachu and Taillow try to attack the Sharpedo. One jumps up and rubs against Max's leg, and its {{a|Rough Skin}} scratches him. Peeko deposits them back on the boat, and May is very angry when she realizes that her brand new bathing suit was torn. Mr. Briney tells them that they should leave, but then the Sharpedo start ramming the boat. With a little help from Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}, they're able to get past the Sharpedo and dock on the island.

That night they're all sitting around a campfire eating dinner, while some lookouts from the Sharpedo gang are patrolling the waters. Brock and Mr. Briney don't understand why the Sharpedo are working together since they're usually solitary, but the more important question is how they are going to get off the island. Ash thinks that a Pokémon battle would be all it would take, but Max reminds him that they only have eight Pokémon total while there are tons of Sharpedo. Brock thinks that if they beat the leader of the Sharpedo in a battle, they might become the leaders. Since they don't have any other plans, they decide to try it. Meanwhile, Team Rocket surfaces, exhausted. [[Jessie]] notices the island in the distance, but before they can do anything about it they're surrounded by the Sharpedo. Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and uses {{m|Poison Tail}} on the leader, which works, but then all the Sharpedo {{m|Headbutt}} the sub at the same time and they blast off. As they're flying off into the distance, they see Mr. Briney's boat docked on the island and realize the [[twerp]]s are there.

It's now morning, and the entire bay is full of Sharpedo. Ash and Pikachu stand in a large bucket and hold on to a rope attached to Taillow and Peeko. This functions as a waterski of sorts, and Ash sails around the bay, yelling at the Sharpedo. The leader tells the rest of the group to chase Ash, and he leads them out to sea. Then May, Max, and Mr. Briney pull a rope they had hidden, and a wooden fence slides into the water, trapping the Sharpedo leader. It rams the fence over and over, pulling on the rope, until it's yanked from Max and Mr. Briney's hands. May keeps holding on so she flies forward and lands in the water, where the Sharpedo charges at her. Brock quickly sends out his {{TP|Brock|Lotad|Ludicolo}}, which distracts the Sharpedo while May gets to shore. As Ash returns too, Brock challenges Sharpedo to a one-on-one battle. Sharpedo starts with {{m|Bite}} and Lotad uses {{m|Water Gun}}. Brock tells Lotad to use Water Gun again, but instead it just swims up to Sharpedo and looks at it. Then Sharpedo suddenly faints. Brock examines it and realizes that it's poisoned. They think it must have battled a {{p|Tentacruel}} or some other Poison-type Pokémon that lives in the ocean. Brock does everything he can for Sharpedo, but they don't have any medicine. Sharpedo wakes up early the next morning and sees that Brock fell asleep petting it, and it gently puts its fin over him then goes back to sleep.
