Due to festival rules, our heroes aren't able to help when a gang of punks and their Pokémon try to ruin the fair. Team Rocket are the only one's in a position to help. Will they come to the town's aid because they have a Wobbuffet of their own?</i> | |||

{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} are finishing up a lunch break on the road to [[Ecruteak City]], when they are accosted by a {{p|Wobbuffet}}.

While [[Jessie]] berates her {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} for popping up unannounced as usual, yet more Wobbuffet appear around them. A villager, {{OBP|Lulu|EP173}}, approaches with her own Wobbuffet and congratulates Jessie on hers. Assuming that Team Rocket are there for the festival, she invites them to her home. Though they are thoroughly bemused by the notion of a festival honoring Wobbuffet, they quickly change their tune when their host arrives with mountains of food. They are even happier to learn that there will be more food at the festival. Lulu gives Jessie's Wobbuffet a yellow headband, and takes them to see the "festival symbol", which is a huge sculpture of a Wobbuffet. While Jessie struggles to hide her incredulity, a [[Wobbuffet Festival crashers|suspicious trio]] watch from the cliffs above, and call out their Pokémon: {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Primeape}}. | ||

A girl, {{OBP|Annie|EP173}}, is crying because somebody attacked her Wobbuffet. Moments later, a man reports that three assailants attacked his Wobbuffet too. | ||
Team Rocket, meanwhile, are searching for the festival's food stocks. Ash and friends discover them, despite a hastily improvised disguise, and immediately conclude that they are the mystery attackers. Team Rocket protest their innocence, and are vouched for by Lulu. A report comes through of another attack, and Ash reluctantly concludes that Team Rocket couldn't have done it. He and his friends leave to investigate the attack, while Team Rocket get back to their plan to steal the festival's food. | Team Rocket, meanwhile, are searching for the festival's food stocks.
