<i>As our heroes get closer to Sunyshore City and Ash’s next Gym Battle, they come across a rather large town.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stop in a large town, deciding to go to the local [[Pokémon Center]]. When they get there, {{an|Brock}} is strung out on [[Nurse Joy]] as usual before {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} pulls him away. Ash heads outside to train with {{AP|Pikachu}}, but as {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} follows, he runs into Pikachu and they both fall, Pikachu shocking Piplup out of reflex. Piplup gets angry and berates Pikachu. Suddenly, both {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are overcome with attraction as they rush each other and embrace.

Right away, Ash and his friends know something is amiss as Piplup and Pikachu continue to hug. At a nearby building, a scientist works nonstop, the room strewn with research materials as he works on a generator. {{TRT}} works on tidying the area, as they were hired by the professor, named {{prof|Kodama}}, since they don't have a task. [[James]] and {{MTR}} make up an excuse to leave the building, leaving [[Jessie]] to clean up the strewn paper notes. Nearby, a {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Quagsire}} stare angrily at each other.

Meanwhile, Ash and {{an|Dawn}}'s efforts to talk to their Pokémon fail. Ash decides to try to pull them apart, so he and Dawn grab their Pokémon and struggle to pull them apart, but the two seem stuck together. Ash manages to pull Pikachu away by a little, but Pikachu suddenly shocks everyone. Piplup gets hurt too, but he recovers and they go back to hugging again. Brock suggests that Dawn should recall Piplup, so she brings him back into his [[Poké Ball]]. Pikachu falls over, his body still posed. Piplup comes out of his Poké Ball and the two return to hugging. Ash and Dawn try to separate them again, but this time Brock suggests to split them and face them away from each other, identifying it as the situation being similar to a magnet, suggesting that having them face away could create a repulsion. It appears to work at first, but they spin back around and hug again. They decide to go to Nurse Joy and as they head inside, Meowth and James notice and decide to watch.

Brock notices that the two types are opposites and that the situation cannot possibly be natural, being more forced. Kodama continues his work while Meowth suggests that they steal the machine based on what Meowth and James saw earlier. Meowth suggests that they could use it to make Pikachu friendly towards Meowth so they can present it to {{an|Giovanni}}. Another scuffle between Magnemite and Quagsire accidentally hits the machine's lever, shutting the machine off. The effects stop immediately at the Center, making the Pokémon go back to normal. However, Kodama pulls the switch again, reversing the effect. A nearby {{pkmn|Trainer}} mentions that his {{p|Raichu}} never got along with the {{p|Squirtle}} it is attracted to now. Brock believes that the person creating the effect may have a similar situation with two Pokémon hating each other. Joy mentions Professor Kodama and that he has a lab nearby, wanting to make his Pokémon get along, everything clicking into place.

Joy leads them to Kodama's lab as Ash informs him of the situation. Kodama knows that his experiment was indeed successful as he fills them in on his research. Jessie and James try to get Ash and his friends to leave before they break the disguise, Meowth playing with the machine to try to get their attention. However, Kodama spots them and unintentionally breaks their disguise. After reciting their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]], Meowth triggers their balloon and proceeds to steal the machine. Kodama grabs ahold as Team Rocket tries to escape with Ash and his friends in hot pursuit. Kodama hits the switch a couple of times on the machine, flickering the effects. Meowth grabs Pikachu and Piplup with a mecha arm. Quagsire and Magnemite show up and work together, Quagsire launching Magnemite to the balloon. Kodama rides on Magnemite as it shocks the machine, breaking the ropes and causing it to fall, breaking on impact and eliminating the effect. Quagsire uses {{m|Water Gun}} to break Kodama's fall and bring them to safety. It appears that Magnemite and Quagsire never really hated each other, but rather only wanted to use each other for battle training. Ash sends Staraptor to retrieve Pikachu and Piplup, bringing them to safety. Jessie and James prepare to battle, but Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Piplup's {{m|BubbleBeam}} send them blasting off before they can summon any Pokémon. Back at the Center, the Trainers happily leave, with their Pokémon in good shape. Brock mentions to Kodama that since Magnemite and Quagsire were dual-type Pokémon, the machine may not have worked. As Kodama prepares to return to his work, Ash and his friends set off.

* Brock's aforementioned reference to the {{pkmn|games}}' breeding mechanic was rewritten so that he simply says there is no way Pikachu and Piplup would be acting the way they are for "all sorts of reasons".
* In the original Japanese version, Professor Kodama forgets Team Rocket's team name and repeatedly calls them "Pocket Dan". This gag is not used in the English dub.
** Kodama does, however, refer to them as "Team Racket" at one point before immediately correcting himself.
