After exiting the [[Pokémon Center]], {{Ash}} bumps into a young {{pkmn|Trainer}} holding a {{p|Growlithe}} in his hands. He warns Ash to avoid an old mountain bridge because of a tough Trainer, but Ash decides to go anyway. As {{ashfr|the group}} discusses which Pokémon the Trainer might be using to be so tough, {{TRT}} overhears the conversation and decides to snatch the Pokémon once they are weakened during the {{pkmn|battle}}. Once they reach the destination, {{an|Misty}} spots a young girl. When {{an|Brock}} begins flirting with her, she identifies herself as [[Miki]] and challenges him to a battle, surprising Brock with her determination. | After exiting the [[Pokémon Center]], {{Ash}} bumps into a young {{pkmn|Trainer}} holding a {{p|Growlithe}} in his hands.

Miki instructs Brock to send out a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, explaining she is trying to get her {{p|Skarmory}} to be stronger and beat any type of Pokémon; even its weaknesses like Fire-types. Miki sends out Skarmory while Brock sends out his only Fire-type Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. The battle starts with Skarmory making a dust cloud in Vulpix's face while it swoops back into the air.

Before Skarmory can attack, Vulpix uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, only to miss because of Skarmory using {{m|Agility}}. Vulpix then starts using its own Agility to flee from Skarmory. However, Skarmory strikes it with {{m|Steel Wing}}, and Vulpix is knocked out. Miki asks Brock if he has any more Fire-type Pokémon. Ash steps in and says that he has one, but he boasts that it might be too hot for her Skarmory to handle. | ||
The match starts, and Ash sends out {{AP|Cyndaquil}} who is already yawning. Skarmory approaches with {{m|Fury Attack}}, but Cyndaquil dodges. Next, Cyndaquil tries to get its flames going but gets attacked by {{m|Swift}}. Cyndaquil's Agility helps it dodge most of the Fury Attacks except for the final one. Cyndaquil finally gets its flames going and breaths a Flamethrower, but the attack misses. Skarmory's Swift attack hits again. Skarmory swoops down for a Steel Wing, when Cyndaquil uses Flamethrower, missing yet again. Just as Skarmory is about to attack, two claws appear and grab the two Pokémon. Team Rocket recites their {{motto}} and begins to fly off in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]]. Miki notices Skarmory is wriggling around and orders it to use Swift on the cable. Skarmory manages to escape, though its wings are still pinned to its body so Brock jumps to Skarmory's aid, only to be crushed under its weight. With Cyndaquil still captive, Ash and Pikachu continue to chase after Team Rocket. Skarmory later appears and slices through the balloon with a Steel Wing attack, which sends Team Rocket blasting off. Ash manages to catch Cyndaquil and retrieves it from its cage. | The match starts, and Ash sends out {{AP|Cyndaquil}} who is already yawning.
