<i>No sooner has Ash begun what he hopes will be his final gym battle in the Johto League than Team Rocket once again throws a wrench into his plans, making off with the Dragon Fang, an invaluable heirloom long held by the Blackthorn Gym. Ash and friends, along with the gym leader, give chase, but in their flight, Team Rocket leads them deep into a secretive area rarely visited by anyone but the Dragon Pokémon that dwell there. Perhaps angered by these uninvited guests, a large beast flies directly at Ash and friends as soon as they enter this area. Uncertain whether this shape be friend or foe, our heroes raise their guard and wait as it grows closer... and looms larger still.</i> | |||

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.
