While heading toward [[Blackthorn City]], Ash | <i>Hardly taking a second to relish his latest gym victory, Ash quickly sets course for the next gym in Blackthorn City. It isn't long, though, before a more immediate challenge confronts his small party. As Ash and friends enter a clearing, they find large numbers of Vileplume and Bellossom preparing to battle. With the help of his Bayleef, Ash is able to settle the disturbance, but afterwards learns from a researcher working in the area that this is a common occurrence. The winds in this area, it seems, carry particulates from the Leaf and Sun Stones that cause Gloom to evolve into either Vileplume or Bellossom. Depending on the wind's direction, different amounts of either stone are scattered over the local Gloom, creating temporary surges in the populations of either of their possible evolutions. Since there is no foreseeable end to this natural state of flux, Ash and friends must end this constant fight for supremacy by convincing these Pokémon to live in harmony despite this trick of the wind that puts one and then the other group in the advantaged position.</i> | ||
==Plot== | |||
{{Incomplete plot}} | |||
While heading toward [[Blackthorn City]] for Ash's final gym badge, Ash and {{ashfr}} come across three sick {{p|Oddish}}. Brock cures them with some special Pokémon food. Ash wonders how the Oddish got sick in the first place, so {{AP|Pikachu}} asks them. The three Oddish lead Ash and his friends over a hill where they find a plain meadow with a huge tree and lots of {{p|Gloom}}, {{p|Vileplume}}, and {{p|Bellossom}}. Soon the Vileplume and Bellossom start fighting. Pikachu fails to break up the fights, so Ash sends in his {{AP|Bayleef}} who separates them with her {{m|Vine Whip}}. Ash tries to get the Pokémon to apologize to each other and make friends with each other, but they refuse. | |||
Afterwards a Pokémon researcher walks up and introduces himself as {{jo|Steven}} and says that he is there to study {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. Steven and | Afterwards a Pokémon researcher walks up and introduces himself as {{jo|Steven}} and says that he is there to study {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. Steven and {{an|Brock}} explain the concept of branched evolution, and Steven explains that due to tiny fragments of {{evostone|Sun Stone}}s and {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}s in the wind, Gloom evolve into Vileplume when the wind is from the Northeast and Bellossom when the wind is from the Northwest. | ||
Vileplume and Bellossom fight over territory since the very old and enormous tree covers so much of the land; they both need the sun shine, so over the day they fight for the area not covered in shade. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] both get {{m|Stun Spore}}d by the Vileplume and Bellossom, so {{MTR}} goes to a convenient store and buys [[Salveyo weed]]. A major storm comes in and makes very large amounts of Gloom evolve all at once, but since the wind was coming from the North East and North West, they both were even in numbers in the end. The war broke out and Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and Steven all knew they had to fight to finally see that fighting does not solve anything. Jessie and James try with help from their Pokémon to catch the Grass Pokémon. | Vileplume and Bellossom fight over territory since the very old and enormous tree covers so much of the land; they both need the sun shine, so over the day they fight for the area not covered in shade.

*During the storm some Gloom are seen evolving into Vileplume. After that we see some Gloom evolve into Bellossom but the Vileplume that evolved before are not there. Some explanations could be that during the storm the Vileplume left to be with the other Vileplume or that the Gloom that are seen the second time are in a different area.
