<i>Ash and May have made it all the way to Petalburg City—the first city with a gym. Ash is very excited to take on the gym leader. May seems a little uneasy—perhaps it's because she hasn't yet told Ash that her father, Norman, is the gym leader in Petalburg! When Ash first gets to the gym, he meets May's little brother, Max, who is pretending to be the gym leader. Max knows a lot about Pokémon and can't wait until he's old enough to become a trainer. Once Ash finally meets Norman, he learns that he will need three Pokémon in order to battle at the gym. He only has Pikachu with him. When Norman agrees to an unofficial battle, Ash encounters his first Vigoroth. Ash realizes that he will have to train hard in order to win a badge in Petalburg City. After a quick scuffle with Team Rocket, Ash and May are ready to hit the road again. Max has decided to tag along, too!</i> | <i>Ash and May have made it all the way to Petalburg City—the first city with a gym. Ash is very excited to take on the gym leader.

As the battle starts, Ash uses Pikachu and Norman sends out {{p|Vigoroth}}. Ash looks it up on his [[Pokédex]] to see how to handle the Pokémon. The Pokédex tells him that Vigoroth is both powerful and quick. Ash feels likes he has an equal playing field since he emphasizes on speed. The first strike is a {{m|Thunderbolt}} from Pikachu, but with the quick reflexes of Vigoroth, it easily jumps away from the blast. Vigoroth soon runs to Pikachu with deadly speed and gives Pikachu a wide {{m|slash}}. Ash now realizes Vigoroth is a force to be reckoned with. Ash switches from electric moves to physical moves, and soon Pikachu starts using {{m|Quick Attack}}. Even so, Pikachu's speed is still no match for Vigoroth's might. Pikachu ends up being tossed around left and right, and is eventually defeated. Ash runs over to his partner to see if he's alright, and acknowledges Vigoroth's power. | As the battle starts, Ash uses Pikachu and Norman sends out {{p|Vigoroth}}.

Suddenly, a wall explodes on the side. When the dust settles, it reveals Team Rocket as they say their motto. Ash does a quick explanation of who they are and gets ready to bump them out of the Gym. [[Jessie]] sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and [[James]] uses {{TP|James|Weezing}} to attack the group. Weezing uses {{m|SmokeScreen}}, as Arbok use {{m|Headbutt}} on Pikachu.

Weezing uses {{m|SmokeScreen}}, as Arbok use {{m|Headbutt}} on Pikachu. Vigoroth decides to help, but it can't see anything in the Smokescreen, so Weezing evades. Then, Max has an idea, as he suggests May to use her Pokemon. Nervous, she takes out her {{TP|May|Torchic}}. As she thinks, Arbok takes the time to attack Torchic. As Jessie gets ready to take Vigoroth and Pikachu, Ash has Pikachu Thunderbolt them, but instead it hits Max by accident. Ash checks to see if he's okay, but Team Rocket escape in the Smokescreen. Once everything is clear, everything looks okay. Ash still has Pikachu, Vigoroth is unhurt, but May lost her Torchic! They think that Team Rocket accidentally stole Torchic instead of Pikachu. | ||
They see Team Rocket float away in their balloon, off into the distance. In their balloon, Team Rocket take a look at their prize, which they expect to be Pikachu. Instead they're surprised to find a confused Torchic. Torchic then pecks every one of them angrily, but Team Rocket manage to get it under control. Then they have a plan that they could use Torchic as bait to get Pikachu. | They see Team Rocket float away in their balloon, off into the distance.

Meanwhile, everyone looks for Torchic in one group, but they decide to split up and cover more ground. As the search went on, Ash managed to find a field where Team Rocket's balloon was and where Torchic was trapped in a cage. The others soon meet up with him, who says he found where Team Rocket is. May and Max run after Torchic, but Ash tries to call them back but it's too late as the two fall into a hole. Ash makes a disappointed face as May's parents run after her. Ash tries to stop them, but they fall into another hole. Ash slaps his face in grief and decides to go out and help them. He helps out May and Max first, while Norman and [[Caroline]] make it okay. | Meanwhile, everyone looks for Torchic in one group, but they decide to split up and cover more ground.

Just after everything is getting better, Team Rocket pop out and they try to keep them busy with a fight. After a few moments in another heated battle, Max sneaks by and gets to Torchic's cage, freeing it. Torchic goes back to May and they have a short happy reunion. May still doesn't know Torchic's attacks quite yet, but Max tells her which one to use. Meanwhile, Arbok seems to be coiled tightly around Vigoroth so Ash has Pikachu help it by using Quick Attack on Arbok.

Meanwhile, Arbok seems to be coiled tightly around Vigoroth so Ash has Pikachu help it by using Quick Attack on Arbok. Then, May tries to use Torchic, and tells it to use "Amber" attack, but then Max corrects her, and realizes that she meant "{{m|Ember}}". Anyways, May commands again, but by mistake, Torchic attacks Max. He quickly blows it. This time, she tells it to use Peck, but again it attacks Max. Meanwhile, Ash and Norman are still fighting off Team Rocket. Arbok Headbutts Pikachu and Vigoroth tackles them both so they land in the balloon. Then Pikachu finishes it off with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. | ||
Later, back in front of Norman's Gym, Norman directs Ash to challenge the closest Gym in [[Rustboro City]]. As a gift, Norman gives Ash and May Badge cases and Max a [[PokéNav]]. Max messes around with the Nav, explaining what it does. Ash and May are ready for their journey, but Max is going to follow them. His parents say that if he wants to be a Trainer, it'd be more helpful if he saw examples rather than read it in textbooks. Max is so excited that he goes off right away to Petalburg Forest; Ash and May quickly follow afterwards. | Later, back in front of Norman's Gym, Norman directs Ash to challenge the closest Gym in [[Rustboro City]].
