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}}, catch 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 [[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. | Meanwhile [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are also trying to enter the contest.

He orders {{AP|Pikachu}} to attack it, but before he can engage it Casey appears and attacks it with her {{p|Chikorita}}. She easily catches 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. | In another part of the forest {{TRT}} attempts to use their stolen costume to attract Pokémon.
