== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} have finally returned to [[Mauville City]] for a pit stop on the way back to [[Petalburg City]]. Before they get ready to make any plans, [[Max]] notices a huge sign for an entrance to a carnival! They decide to check it out.


To their luck, it is open, so they check out the toy stand first, mainly full of Pokémon plushies, and it's run by two suspicious looking people in a {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Tauros}} costume. May notices the ribbon case, and gets excited and wants to buy it. Unbeknownst to them, the people are really {{TRT}}.
==Blurb==
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/07_19-manectric-charge/-->
<i>Ash and friends return to Mauville City, where they encounter a carnival run by Team Rocket. They let all their Pokémon out to enjoy the festivities, and Team Rocket tries to steal them. Wattson and Watt arrive to help fight off the thieves, and after the battle Wattson's Electrike evolves into a Manectric.
 
Everyone heads to the Mauville Gym for two practice battles. First up, May's Skitty faces off against Watt's Ampharos. Skitty is victorious with Assist, using Quick Attack and Double Slap in quick succession.
 
Meanwhile, Team Rocket falls into Wattson's new improved Gym traps, eventually encountering a group of robotic Raikou that they mistake for the real thing.


Meanwhile, Ash and friends send out all their Pokémon to play, and Ash's new {{AP|Torkoal}} smogs them up as a friendly greeting, but they don't seem too happy. Ash introduces them to it, and explains that it likes to do that a lot in a friendly manner, and not to worry about it. Torkoal does it again, and it reaches Team Rocket this time.
The second battle is Ash's Torkoal versus Wattson's Manectric. Torkoal uses Overheat too many times, and Manectric takes out the Fire-type with a Charge/Thunder Wave combo.
 
Watt tells May about a Pokémon Contest taking place in Verdanturf Town, so the kids make that their next destination.</i>

May notices the Ribbon case, and gets excited and wants to buy it. Unbeknownst to them, the people are really {{TRT}}.
 
Meanwhile, Ash and his friends send out all their Pokémon to play, and Ash's new {{AP|Torkoal}} smogs them up as a friendly greeting, but they don't seem too happy. Ash introduces them to it, and explains that it likes to do that a lot in a friendly manner, and not to worry about it. Torkoal does it again, and it reaches Team Rocket this time.


Next, they check out the soccer target game, where {{an|Brock}} scores a 10! The rest of them are about to take their turn, but then Ash notices his Torkoal standing right in front of the ball. It seems like it wants a shot at this! Ash is excited and ready to watch it go, but Max is a little concerned that it might mess up and trip, since its body is wide and its legs are pretty short. They all watch as Torkoal lifts its legs, gets ready to kick... but instead it falls over, landing on its back. Oh well, better luck next time.

The gang immediately notices that the front of the Mauville Gym looks different than it did the last time they were there. Ash is about to open the front door, but Watt yells at him not to open it. Wattson tells them that the front of the building isn't the only thing that's changed. Everyone remembers the rollercoaster ride that they got after entering the door the first time they were there, and they're not too keen on repeating that experience, especially after Wattson says that the new traps are much better than before.

Inside the Gym, the first battle is between May and Watt. May starts off strong with Doubleslap followed by Tackle. Watt retaliates with ThunderShock, which Skitty dodges, but Ampharos redirects the attack and scores a hit. He follows up with Iron Tail, almost knocking Skitty out. However, it gets back up. Ampharos uses ThunderShock again, but right before it hits Skitty uses Assist. It gets Torchic's Quick Attack, and easily dodges the ThunderShock and hits Ampharos. It follows up with a DoubleSlap and knocks Ampharos out, giving May the win!

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is standing outside the Gym. They know it must be full of powerful Pokémon, so they decide to steal them. They obliviously enter the front door, and find themselves on a roller coaster ride.

Team Rocket is out of the water, but they go through a door into a room with three Raikou. They decide to capture them and sell them, so they send out Seviper and Cacnea.

Ash and friends say goodbye to Watt and Wattson. Watt tells May that there's an upcoming Pokémon Contest in Verdanturf Town, so the group decides to head there first. As the sun sets, they once again continue on, this time toward Verdanturf Town. The narrator comments on how Ash and May are anticipating the Badges and Ribbons they're on their way to win, as the camera pans up to a shot of the setting sun. Another typical ending...

...But wait! Team Rocket is still trying to catch the Raikou. Seviper uses {{m|Poison Tail}} on one, Cacnea uses {{m|Needle Arm}} on another, and Meowth uses {{m|Fury Swipes}} on the last one. Each attack chops off the Raikou's head. They were all robots! Of course, Team Rocket is upset, and it doesn't help when the Raikou explode. The episode ends with Team Rocket dejectedly blasting off again.

=== Pokémon Trainer's Choice ===
===Errors===
* {{TRT}} did not recognize or want {{p|Torkoal}}, despite trying to steal one [[AG055|four episodes earlier]].
* {{TP|Ash|Torkoal}} was knocked out by {{m|Thunder Wave}}, even though it is a move that does [[Anime physics|no damage]].
* While {{p|Larvitar}} is said in the Trainer's Choice to be the most effective against {{p|Manectric}}, it is actually equally effective as {{p|Swampert}} - both being {{t|Ground|Ground-types}}.
* In the European Portuguese dub, when Team Rocket battles against the three Raikou, James tells Cacnea to use {{m|Pin Missile}} and it uses Needle Arm instead.

====[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]====

* Question: Trainers, which one of these Pokémon is the best choice to battle {{p|Manectric}}?
* Choices: {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Torkoal}}

* Answer: Ok, trainers! If you chose {{p|Larvitar}}, you were right!
* Answer: OK, Trainers! If you chose {{p|Larvitar}}, you were right!
 
=== Errors ===
* While Larvitar is said in the Trainer's Choice to be the most effective against Manectric, it is actually as equally effective as Swampert, both being {{type2|Ground}}s.
* Ash's Torkoal was [[Fainting|knocked out]] by Wattson's Manectric's Thunder Wave. In the games, Thunder Wave does no damage and therefore couldn't replicate this effect.
* Team Rocket acted like they'd never seen a Torkoal before and didn't need to steal it when commenting about Ash's Torkoal, even though they had tried to steal [[Flannery]]'s Torkoal just four episodes prior.
* In the European Portuguese dub, when Team Rocket battles against the three Raikou, James tells Cacnea to use {{m|Pin Missile}} and it uses Needle Arm instead.
