As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr | As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} continue to travel, Ash is still hard at work {{pkmn|training}} his {{AP|Turtwig}} in using {{m|Energy Ball}}. Turtwig charges the sphere and proceeds to launch it, but the sphere dissipates beforehand. Turtwig is upset, but Ash encourages it to try again. {{an|Brock}} asks for him to hold off until they reach the next town, in order to get there before dark. Ash recalls Turtwig and looks forward to a hot bath at the next [[Pokémon Center]], but Brock checks his guidebook and finds no Center in the next town. {{an|Dawn}} suggests that they go to a hot spring that she knows about, one that allows {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to enjoy it as well. She mentions that one of her best friends lives at a hot spring hotel, so they start heading that way. | ||
Outside the hotel, a woman talks to her {{p|Swinub}} in helping her out. Dawn calls out her name, [[Leona]], Dawn's childhood friend. Leona happens to call her Dee-Dee, which upsets Dawn, but Leona is still happy to see her. When asked about how business is going, Leona admits that it has been sluggish. Leona remembers watching Dawn's [[DP061|most recent]] {{pkmn|Contest}} performance, which slightly upsets Dawn. Dawn introduces Leona to Ash and Brock, mentioning that she met Dawn in Kindergarten. Hearing that Leona is a {{pkmn|Trainer}} as well, Ash asks her for a {{pkmn|battle}}, but Leona doesn't have the time. Dawn is eager to jump in the hot spring, but before Leona can say anything, they're off. | Outside the hotel, a woman talks to her {{p|Swinub}} in helping her out.

They find the hot spring, Ash jumping in first, but they find the pool shallow and cold. Leona mentions that the spring is not running because a week ago, the spring suddenly stopped receiving water. Since the spring is fed from a pipeline leading down from the mountain, [[Leona's parents]] decided to hike up and inspect it. Leona admits that if the situation doesn't change soon, the hotel will have to close. Leona is planning to use her Swinub to find another hot spring, which Dawn checks with her [[Pokédex]]. The Swinub even know how to use {{m|Dig}}. The thought of Leona raising her Pokémon makes Dawn reflect on her kindergarten days when Leona comforted her about when a young boy proceeded to bully others and hog a Jungle Gym to himself, standing at the top like a ruler. It gives Dawn the plan for them to work together to find the hot spring. Leona's Swinub take the lead as they pike up a scent of a hot spring. | They find the hot spring, Ash jumping in first, but they find the pool shallow and cold.

At a newer hot spring, a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] | At a newer hot spring, a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] {{TRT}} takes pride in their work, wanting to open their business, as well as plans to let {{an|Giovanni}} have it. Leona's Swinub lead Ash and his friends to a source of steam. When they get there, they notice that a new hotel is being built with a freshly dug hot spring. Team Rocket notices them nearby as {{MTR}} put sunglasses on and proceeds to push them off the property. Leona confronts them about the hotel. Meowth tells a story about them digging out the hot spring by hand. Leona can tell that the water is exactly the same as their hot spring water, just by sense. She believes that they have been diverting her hot spring water to use as their own. [[Jessie]] asks her for proof of possession about the water, which Leona knows will be difficult. Brock theorizes that if they tapped into the same water source that Leona's family does, but with a different pipe, it would not matter. It appears that Team rocket has won, when suddenly a {{p|Wooper}} appears from the pipe, with a transponder on its tail. | ||
Ash checks the Wooper as Leona recognizes it as one that belongs to her parents. Leona's parents show up as they mention that when they checked their pipeline, the found another pipe attached directly to theirs, diverting water away from their hot spring. They sent the Wooper along the line to see where it led; revealing that the hot spring has been stolen. Team Rocket loses their disguises and recites their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]]. Meowth pushes a switch and summons a [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]], firing water blasts at Ash and his friends. {{AP|Pikachu}} wants to launch a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but since everyone is soaking wet, Pikachu is forced to switch to {{m|Iron Tail}}, but Pikachu slips on the wet mecha, unable to make contact. | Ash checks the Wooper as Leona recognizes it as one that belongs to her parents.
