{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive in [[Dark City]], a place where it appears to be a ghost town, much to {{an|Brock}}'s dismay. They are even more curious to see a parent herding their child off for fear of [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in the area. As Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and Brock ponder why that is, {{AP|Pikachu}} is hit by a rock thrown from the roof of a nearby building. When Ash tells Pikachu to retaliate using a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, they hit three kids on the rooftop. When they go apologize to them, however, they get a cold shoulder treatment, as the kids want the group out of the town. The kids, however, are stopped by a local restaurant owner, who invites them to his restaurant. | {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive in [[Dark City]], a place where it appears to be a ghost town, much to {{an|Brock}}'s dismay.

At the restaurant, while eating lunch (Pikachu, in particular, taking a liking to eating ketchup from the bottle), the restaurant owner explains to Ash and his friends, as well as a mysterious patron who had happened to overhear, that Dark City has two rival [[Pokémon | At the restaurant, while eating lunch (Pikachu, in particular, taking a liking to eating ketchup from the bottle), the restaurant owner explains to Ash and his friends, as well as a mysterious patron who had happened to overhear, that Dark City has two rival [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]], the Yas Gym and the Kaz Gym. Both Gyms seek official status, but to do so they would need the approval of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|Pokémon League inspector]], who is scheduled to arrive at any moment. As there could be only one official Gym per city, each Gym seeks to eliminate the other before the inspector arrives. The restaurant owner further explains that Pokémon Trainers who have neared Dark City are recruited for the cause of either Gym. At that moment, fighting between the two Gyms breaks out. As Ash, Misty, and Brock watch from the safety of the restaurant, the three note that the fighting is not as much of a [[Pokémon battle]] as it was a gang war. The Yas Gym's {{p|Scyther}} and the Kaz Gym's {{p|Electabuzz}} in particular are dispatching the men of the opposing Gym with ease. | ||
At that point, the safety of the restaurant is shattered when {{TRT}}, hired by the Kaz Gym as elite bodyguards, invades the restaurant in disguise and demand food. When they send out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} to deal with the restaurant owner when he refuses (because of the Kaz Gym having run up a large tab), Ash (with Pikachu) and Misty (with {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}) attempt to intercept, Team Rocket but are beaten by Brock, whose {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} quickly forces Team Rocket out of the restaurant with a {{m|Flamethrower}}. Vulpix has now garnered the attention of a female Yas Gym recruiter, who tries to recruit Ash and company for their cause. At the advice of Misty (who claims that taking sides would ruin their reputations as Trainers), Ash introduces himself as Tom Ato, Misty as Ann Chovy, and Brock as Caesar Salad, who, because Brock could never say no to a beautiful girl, takes them to the Yas Gym. | At that point, the safety of the restaurant is shattered when {{TRT}}, hired by the Kaz Gym as elite bodyguards, invades the restaurant in disguise and demand food.
