The episode begins with {{Ash}} and [[Clair]] on the battlefield, about to begin a three-on-three battle, with [[Kaburagi]] as judge. Clair leads off with {{p|Kingdra}}, which Ash responds with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Pikachu tries to {{m|Thunderbolt}} Kingdra, who easily shakes the attack off. This puzzles Misty and Brock. Kingdra responds with {{m|Twister}}, which catches Pikachu. However, Pikachu manages to recover, and launches a {{m|Thunder}} attack, only for Kingdra to shake it off as well. Ash is also puzzled by why Kingdra is easily repelling Pikachu's attacks, to which Clair replies that, though Kingdra is evolved from a {{p|Seadra}} (a {{t|Water}}-type, the reason which Ash made his decision to lead off with Pikachu), upon evolution it gains the {{t|Dragon}}-type as well. Kingdra continues the battle with {{m|Hydro Pump}}, which Pikachu returns fire with Thunderbolt. | The episode begins with {{Ash}} and [[Clair]] on the battlefield, about to begin a three-on-three battle, with [[Kaburagi]] as judge.

Ash and company also manage to reach the Holy Land, and they split up to look for Team Rocket. Dragonite manages to fire a {{m|Hyper Beam}} as a warning shot to Ash and company, just as Clair arrives. Kaburagi explains that the Dragonite had once belonged to the first Gym Leader of Blackthorn City, and had never felt the same since its trainer had passed away. However, they are unsure as to why Dragonite would assist Team Rocket. However, their thoughts are disturbed by a roar coming from a Pokémon flying towards them... | Ash and company also manage to reach the Holy Land, and they split up to look for Team Rocket.
