The episode opens with {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} running to catch the boat to [[Mossdeep City|Mossdeep Island]], where Ash's next gym battle awaits. Unfortunately, in their haste to catch the ferry, the party gets aboard the wrong boat! On board, Brock and Max reveal that they've boarded the ship to [[Bomba Island]], and unfortunately, there's no direct ferry from Bomba Island to Mossdeep Island. While discussing their island-hopping adventure, an {{p|Ivysaur}}, {{p|Charmeleon}}, and {{p|Wartortle}} pass the group by, with each Pokémon carrying a heavy box. {{an|May}} misidentifies each (as a {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} respectively) but [[Max]] and the rest of the group set her straight. Ash then explains that they are the evolutions of {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, the starter Pokémon of [[Pallet Town]]. The group also quickly bumps into {{ho|Jimmy}}, the three Pokémon's trainer, and himself a referee in training. After helping Jimmy shift a few boxes, Jimmy explains that there's a major Pokémon Battle Judging school on the island, and Ash and friends are eager to take a look around the institute. The institute's teacher, [[Serena]] is quick to enlist Ash and company to help teach some trainees by holding a mock battle. Meanwhile, Team Rocket has managed the group follow them using their {{p|Magikarp}} submarine, and the trio plot to steal Jimmy's three Pokémon.

Ash and {{an|Brock}} face off in the institute mock battle with Jimmy judging, with Ash choosing his {{AP|Swellow}} and {{AP|Corphish}} and Brock using his [[Brock's Lombre]] and [[Brock's Mudkip]]. After a few brief exchanges, Ash manages to back the opposing Lombre into a vulnerable position. As this is a battle to test the judges more than the trainers, though, Brock has his Lombre play dead rather than reposition itself, meaning that it appears unable to battle. While Jimmy wonders if he should call the match,  Ash orders {{AP|Swellow}} to do an {{m|Aerial Ace}} attack. Lombre, however, springs back up at the last moment! Unfortunately for Brock, his sneak attack fails to knock out Swellow. Brock orders a double {{m|Water gun}} against Swellow to finish the fight, but Ash orders Corphish to shield Swellow from the blow. Corphish initially buckles beneath the force of the attack, and Jimmy decides to call Corphish unable to battle. However, his amateur judgment is also premature and Corphish springs back up moments later. The teacher, [[Serena]], scolds Jimmy quite forcefully. She goes on to say that he's still studying and will make mistakes sometimes, and this is the time to make mistakes. Also, whether right or wrong, a referee must appear confident.

After night falls, Jimmy sits outside with Pokémon, brooding over his mistakes earlier in the day. Ash and friends go out to find Jimmy, Jimmy tells them his whole story, including how he got his three Pokémon. He tells them that Wartortle, who was a Squirtle, was his starter. He got Ivysaur by accidentally giving it a sandwich. Finally, he traded a gold Magikarp to someone for his Charmeleon. He also shows them his only badge, a {{Badge|Cascade}}, and Ash tells him that he must be a pretty good trainer to have beaten their friend and Gym Leader, {{an|Misty}}. Jimmy then explains that this was given to him by {{an|Daisy}} for cleaning the Gym and pool; Misty was away when he visited [[Cerulean City]] (see trivia below). Jimmy tells Ash the he has had a long streak of bad luck, and came to the judging academy by accident.
