{{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. | {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stop in a large town, deciding to go to the local [[Pokémon Center]].

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. | Meanwhile, Ash and {{an|Dawn}}'s efforts to talk to their Pokémon fail.

Brock notices that all the affected Pokémon are in a pair, with one {{t|Water}} type and one {{t|Electric}} type. Nurse Joy mentions that none of the other Pokémon in the center have been affected. Meowth listens in and concludes that Professor Kodama's experiment must be responsible, so he takes James back to the lab. When they return, they find the professor still hard at work. When Meowth asks the professor about his experiment, Kodama reveals that his invention is dubbed the Affinity-Enabler, which broadcasts a form of {{m|Attract}} over an antenna and causes Pokémon to cease any rivalry and become attracted, regardless of gender, but it seems to fail on his test subjects. It doesn't help that the two Pokémon have hated each other for some time. The two battle and cause destruction, but only Kodama's orders cause a ceasefire. Trying to help, he increases the machine's power, which causes the Pokémon at the Center to get even closer and hug more intently. | ||
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. | Brock notices that the two types are opposites and that the situation cannot possibly be natural, being more forced.

*The English dub title for this episode is based off the phrase: "Sticking with what you know." | * This episode was aired in the USA letterboxed, which is 16:9 on a 4:3 screen, for standard-definition viewers. This is probably due to Cartoon Network stopping their cropping practices sometime after the initial dub airing of the previous episode, as other 16:9 shows on the network which had been cropped for standard-definition viewers, including some episodes of the Pokémon anime which had initially been presented cropped, switched to letterboxed presentation sometime during the week prior to this episode's initial dub airing. | ||
