On their way to [[Ecruteak City]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} come across [[Johto]]'s [[National Park]] which is hosting a Pokémon [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. The rules state that each participant is given a special "{{ball|Park}}". They are to enter the forest, and using only one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, capture the strongest {{type|Bug}} Pokémon they can find. Whoever gets the strongest one wins the competition and, in addition to keeping the Pokémon they catch also wins a {{evostone|Sun Stone}}. Eager to get a new Pokémon, Ash decides to enter the contest. While registering he encounters a familiar face: {{an|Casey}}, the [[baseball]]-loving {{pkmn|Trainer}} from [[EP118|a previous episode]]. She tells him that she's entering the contest as well, and announces that she intends to beat Ash no matter what the cost.

Meanwhile [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are also trying to enter the contest. Unfortunately they are unable to register, due to the contest's rule that forbids anybody over the age of 16 from entering. Not to be deterred from finding new Pokémon, Jessie, James and {{MTR}} kidnap a contest employee and sneak into the contest grounds with his {{p|Venomoth}} costume.

Viewing from a screen in an amphitheater inside the park, Misty and Brock watch as Casey and Ash venture deeper into the forest. Ash quickly spots a {{p|Weedle}}. He orders {{AP|Pikachu}} to attack it, but before he can engage it Casey appears and attacks it with her {{p|Chikorita}}. She easily captures it and continues on her way, ignoring Ash's protest that he saw it first.

In another part of the forest {{TRT}} attempts to use their stolen costume to attract Pokémon. Jessie succeeds in luring a wild Venomoth towards her, but gets hit with {{m|Stun Spore}} when the bug Pokémon realizes she's a fake. As they recover from the attack James and Meowth decide to try a different plan.

* The Park Balls pictured in this episode are vastly different from the later-introduced {{ball|Sport}} in-game sprites, likely due to a design change between the time of Generation II and Generation IV. This is similar to the alteration in design of the {{ball|Safari}}, which appears differently between [[EP035|its anime debut]] and its [[Generation III]] reintroduction with an in-game sprite.

* When Ash was given Beedrill after the contest had ended, he already had {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, {{AP|Totodile}}, and {{AP|Noctowl}} on his team, so Beedrill should have been sent to Professor Oak. However, Beedrill remained on Ash's team until he gave it to Casey.
