{{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} have finally arrived in [[Striaton City]]. As enthusiastic and ready as he was to battle, he soon realizes that he does not know where the [[Gym]] is located. {{an|Iris}} then comments on Ash's behavior: typical of a 'small child', and gives a wide grin. As {{TP|Iris|Axew}} appears from within her hair and she feeds it with the fruit she was holding, a formally-dressed young man with green hair appears, his green eyes having taken notice of Axew. He recites a short prose complimenting Axew, and then talks about the positive compatibility between Iris and her Pokémon. As Pikachu watches in doubt, it made a sound that captured the young man's attention. Eyes alight with excitement, he picks Pikachu up and examines it for a while, before returning it to his Trainer.

Meanwhile, the [[Team Rocket trio]], [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}, are walking along the streets of Striaton City, dressed in black overcoats. They were told to contact the Team Rocket Headquarters the moment they got there, at a specified time and place. As they walk towards the side of a dark alley, they made a turn into it and squatted near a drain cover, pleased at being punctual.

Pikachu swiftly dodges the jets of water aimed at it, jumping backwards and sideways on the rocks in the field. As Pikachu readies a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack, Panpour aims its Water Gun at Pikachu's feet, causing it to lose focus as it tries to steady itself. Following that, it aims another Water Gun at Pikachu and it hit, sending Pikachu flying... In an instant, Panpour caught up with Pikachu in mid-air and hit Pikachu with multiple Scratch attacks. While the cheerleaders delight in hushed voices, Pikachu lies sprawled on the ground, struggling to get back on its feet.

==Characters==

==Trivia==

*  Ash battles three Gym Leaders in one episode for the first time. This beats the former record of two Gym Leaders in one episode when Ash battled [[Tate and Liza]] in ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]''. Like this episode one of the Gym Leaders was voiced by Jason Griffith.

* This is the only time when Ash loses a battle with an official Gym Leader and doesn't have to take a rematch against the Gym Leader in question.

* The English dub of this episode aired one day before [[Pokémon Black and White Versions]] were released in North America and one day after it was released in Europe.

* The dub title could be a play on the terms "{{wp|Team Leader}}" and "{{wp|Triple Threat}}."

* Beginning in this episode's [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment, the Pokémon say their names after being revealed, like in the [[original series]] and the {{series|Advanced Generation}}.  

===Errors===

* When Tepig was spinning Pansear around by its tail, Pansear's arms turn red for a brief moment.

* In the dub, Giovanni refers to the [[Dreamyard]] as the "Dream Site," a possible translation of its Japanese name.
