{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} attend a party at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab to celebrate Ash’s performance in the [[Pokémon League]]. The three decide to let out their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to join the party, but Misty and Brock stop Ash from releasing {{AP|Charizard}}. {{TRT}} is also in attendance, masquerading as cooks and coating their food with hot mustard and wasabi. As Ash and his Pokémon react to the spicy food, Team Rocket grabs {{AP|Pikachu}} and sends down small bombs from their balloon to destroy the party. Ash finally releases Charizard, who flings the blasters back at Team Rocket, causing them to blast off again.  
With {{Ash}}’s Top 16 achievement in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], [[Pallet Town]] holds a party celebrating his accomplishment at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], hosted by the [[Professor Oak|Professor]]. A toast is held as everyone digs into the food. {{an|Misty}} suggests letting their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} out to share. {{an|Brock}} brings out {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}, while Misty brings out {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}}, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}. Ash brings out {{p|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Squirtle}}, but his friends prevent him from bringing out {{AP|Charizard}}, knowing how unruly the Pokémon can be.
 
The Pokémon run off, with Ash going first. {{TRT}} in disguise man a venue cooking food for the party. When Ash places an order, they decide to sabotage it with extremely hot sauces. Ash takes the food back as Brock and Ash’s Pokémon take the first bite. The {{wp|piquance}} immediately takes a toll as Brock and Ash’s Pokémon fumble about, Ash’s Squirtle unable to use its {{m|Water Gun}}. Misty has Staryu cool them down. Ash laughs at their sensitivity to the spice, but he takes it back when he experiences the spicy meatball.
 
During the confusion, Team Rocket takes {{AP|Pikachu}} and runs back to their stand. As they recite their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]], the stand turns into a [[Team Rocket's mechas|modified hot air balloon]]. Ash and {{ashfr}} toss the food back at them before Team Rocket attempts to escape, with Pikachu hanging from the bottom. Ash has Squirtle attack, but the balloon is too high up. [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} shell the area with bombs, causing panic. Ash sends Pidgeotto after them, with a {{m|Quick Attack}} bursting the balloon. As they descend, Meowth triggers a secondary balloon to stop their fall. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to shoot down Pidgeotto with {{m|Poison Sting}}. Ash catches his Pokémon before it hits the ground.
 
Furious, Ash decides to send out Charizard to get Pikachu. It appears to disobey him, instead taking notice of the food table nearby. Before Charizard can get anything, Team Rocket continues to bomb the area, destroying the table. Angry, Charizard races after them, deflecting another salvo of bombs back at the balloon, destroying it and sending Team Rocket blasting off. Charizard catches Pikachu from its free fall and flies back before torching Ash and showing off its power to the guests. Meanwhile, Team Rocket lands in a tree. Something pecks at Jessie as Meowth points out a whole flock of {{p|Pidgey}} and Pidgeotto around them. Jessie tries to look beyond some trees, but a whole flock of {{p|Spearow}} led by a {{p|Fearow}} attack her.
 
Back at Professor Oak’s Lab, the Professor finishes treating Pidgeotto’s wounds. Though Ash feels responsible for putting Pidgeotto at risk, his Pokémon doesn’t hold it against him and nudges him. Misty points out how Charizard is the opposite of Pidgeotto, but Ash believes he will be able to control Charizard eventually.
 
Professor Oak then asks Ash and his friends to head to [[Valencia Island]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]] to visit his colleague, [[Professor Ivy]], to pick up a mysterious [[Poké Ball]] for him. It can’t be transported and his grandson {{Gary}} is currently occupied. Misty and Brock are inspired to put in some beach time, but Ash is more intrigued about the Poké Ball. Nonetheless, they all agree to head off, departing from Ash’s home.
 
As Ash and his friends head off into the forest, they become aware of the lack of activity in the forest. Pikachu looks up and alerts the group to a flock of Spearow, ducking to avoid them as well as the Fearow. Ash scans with his [[Pokédex]] and wonders why they are attacking, remembering the Spearow he hit with a rock [[EP001|when he first started]].
 
The Fearow swoops around and grabs Ash and Pikachu, flying into the air. Ash orders Pikachu to use {{m|ThunderShock}}, causing the Fearow to drop them into the forest. They land in the same tree that Team Rocket is unable to leave from. Jessie fills him in on the situation as he notices the Pidgey and Pidgeotto. Misty and Brock catch up to Ash as he plans to help the Pidgey family. Ash decides to get Team Rocket to safety first by jumping on the branches, getting the trio onto the ground. The Spearow chase Team Rocket away.
 
Ash tries to get the Pidgey and Pidgeotto to fly away, but they are still hesitant. Ash brings out his own Pidgeotto and has it lead them away. The {{t|Flying}} Pokémon start to soar away, when Fearow returns. Ash’s Pidgeotto challenges the Fearow, but gets hit by Fearow’s Tackle, sending it to the ground. Ash catches up to his hurt Pokémon as the Fearow begins to harass the other Pidgey. Pidgeotto struggles to get up, letting out a cry as it begins to evolve, completing its [[evolution]] to {{AP|Pidgeot}}! Ash scans with his Pokedex as Pidgeot spreads its wings, wanting Ash to get on. Pikachu joins him as they soar after Fearow. Fearow turns around as Pidgeot fires multiple {{m|Gust}} attacks, hammering the Fearow. A Quick Attack follow-up easily strikes the Fearow. Pikachu then jumps onto the Fearow and launches a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Pikachu gets back on with Ash as Ash attempts to catch it, but Fearow swats the ball away and prepares to attack again, but the Pidgey and Pidgeotto team up with Pidgeot to assault Fearow with multiple attacks. Outnumbered, Fearow turns tail and flies away.
 
Back on the ground, as the sun sets, Ash decides to leave Pidgeot with the group to keep the Pidgey and Pidgeotto safe. Pidgeot flies away with the other bird Pokémon, leading them away. Ash and his friends then continue their journey to Valencia Island. Meanwhile Team Rocket is still running away from the Spearow!


Ash then receives his next mission from Professor Oak: to retrieve a [[GS Ball|mysterious Poké Ball]] from [[Professor Ivy]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]]. As they leave through the forest, Ash and his friends are attacked by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. The flock’s leader is a {{p|Fearow}}, which apparently [[Evolution|evolved]] from the Spearow that Ash hit with a rock on [[EP001|the first day of his journey]]. Ash climbs a tree to escape and finds Team Rocket with a flock of {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Pidgeotto}} who are in a turf war with the flock of Spearow. Ash sends out {{p|Pidgeotto}} to lead the Pidgey flock against the Spearow flock. In the course of the battle, Ash’s Pidgeotto evolves into a {{AP|Pidgeot}}. Pidgeot and Pikachu team up to defeat the Fearow and its gang. Ash then decides to {{pkmn2|released|leave}} Pidgeot in the forest to look after the Pidgey and Pidgeotto.
