<i>Continuing toward Daybreak Town and Dawn's next Pokémon Contest, Ash and our gang meet up with a Snorlax that is exercising on a trampoline. Snorlax is being "scientifically trained" by its Trainer—a boy named Daniel. Daniel uses sophisticated methods and monitoring equipment to train his Pokémon, as the look of his physically fit Snorlax shows. Ash believes that tuning into a Pokémon's feelings is the superior way to train, but Daniel disagrees. When Ash challenges Daniel to a battle, Daniel informs our heroes of the Pokéathlon, which will be held that very day there in Camellia Town! Ash agrees to enter the sports event and compete against Daniel, among many other Trainers. | |||
Ash and Daniel tie in the first round. The second round is only an exhibition performance. The third round is to be a challenging Hurdle Dash! Ash is excited at the prospect, but a disguised Team Rocket has set up a massage center, and asks both Daniel and Ash to leave their Pokémon there for a "relaxing massage"—with the real purpose of stealing Pikachu and Daniel's Snorlax! Daniel manages to free Pikachu from Team Rocket's grip, and the two Trainers are finally set to see their Pokémon compete in the Hurdle Dash. They stay neck-and-neck the whole way, but eventually Snorlax wins...by a belly! | |||
When Ash congratulates Daniel and says his "scientific training" merits a closer look, Daniel sheepishly tells Ash that he is now more interested in a training style that concentrates on his Pokémon's feelings! So, with new friendship and mutual respect, Daniel says goodbye to our heroes, and they continue toward Daybreak Town.</i> | |||
==Plot== | |||
On their way to [[Daybreak Town]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are walking through the forest when they suddenly find a giant object in front of them. Ash wonders what it is, and {{an|Brock}} identifies it as a trampoline. {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} excitedly run up to the trampoline and start bouncing on top of it while Dawn wonders aloud why the trampoline was in the forest. Just then, a {{p|Snorlax}} jumps up and bounces on top of the trampoline, sending Pikachu and Piplup flying. Ash and Dawn catch Pikachu and Piplup, respectively, as Snorlax bounces off of the trampoline and lands on the ground. | On their way to [[Daybreak Town]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are walking through the forest when they suddenly find a giant object in front of them.
