Aaron signs an autograph for a young girl, who barely containing her emotions, runs off telling him she'll remember the moment for the rest of her life. Aaron smiles at Dawn, noting that she's the last one and Dawn introduces herself and hands over her Poké Chic. She then boldly says that Cynthia told her that the Elite Four are powerful battlers and she would not go easy on him. Aaron is surprised and asks if they know Cynthia personally, which Dawn and the others confirm. Ash says they'll be rooting for both of them. Aaron notes that Cynthia is very powerful but he has been training even harder, which Drapion, Vespiquen and Skorupi make assertions in support of. Ash tells Aaron his dreams of perhaps one day even becoming an Elite Four member, which Aaron tells him to go for. He then invites them to his training center, which he would consider an honour from friends of Cynthia. Brock excitedly tells the others what a privilege this would be, and they reply that they would love to come.

At Aaron's center by the lake, Ash, Dawn and Brock look out at the view with Aaron and Skorupi. Aaron smiles and says he built the center after becoming a member of the Elite Four. Many wild Pokémon live nearby: {{p|Combee}}, {{p|Mothim}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Surskit}} and {{p|Venonat}} frolic around outside. Aaron notes that the Bugs are enjoying the weather and releases Drapion and Vespiquen from their Poké Balls to relax after the mornings training session. He then goes and trains himself, explaining that his Pokémon would have a field day making fun of him if he didn't train as hard as them. Ash jumps on the bike, determined to train as well. Aaron warns him not to overdo himself, and Dawn exclaims at Ash's energy, whilst Brock says it's probably motivation from his rematch with [[Fantina]]. Looking around, Dawn spots a picture of a young Aaron together with a {{p|Wurmple}}.

Aaron's Vespiquen snoozes by a tree whilst {{TRT}} sneak up, having smeared honey on the tree. Meowth and James hurl a net forward, only to have caught a {{p|Munchlax}}. James is angry, but gets even angrier when Jessie reveals that she used his pancake syrup for the trap. James screams of disappointment arouse some {{p|Beedrill}}, who attack Team Rocket.

Aaron finishes training and takes his towel from Skorupi, whilst Ash has collapsed in exhaustion and Aaron suggests a break. Dawn asks about the Wurmple in the photo, and Aaron told them that Wurmple was his first capture, in the forest nearby. He had grown up in town and would sneak out to the forest as much as he could. As a small kid, he really liked to climb trees. One day he challenged himself to climb the lengthiest tree in the forest. However, once he got to the top, he realized how tall it was and how he could never climb down, but luckily there was a Wurmple on the tree who was able to help him, getting him safely down. Aaron grabbed Wurmple and hugged it in thanks. Aaron reveals that he and Wurmple were best friends and shows them photo albums of the two growing up. Ash reminisces about his first capture: the {{type|Bug}} Caterpie, which evolved all the way into {{AP|Butterfree}} before he released it. He wonders about where it is and how it's doing.

Dawn asks where Wurmple currently is, but before he again answer, a giant suction hose activates, swallowing up Pikachu, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, Skorupi, Drapion and Vespiquen. Aaron demands to know what is going on, and Team Rocket performs their motto. Brock explains about Team Rocket's evil intentions. James and Jessie just gloat about successfully swiping Elite Four and twerp Pokémon. Aaron leaps into the air and nearly catches the balloon, but {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}'s {{m|Haze}} blinds him and he crashes to the ground. Team Rocket's balloon disappears over the tree tops as the friends rush to Aaron's aid. Ash decides that they have to follow after.

Jessie and James continue to gloat over their victory, but suddenly their balloon starts to rock as Pikachu, Piplup, Vespiquen and Drapion unleash their attacks on the inside of the huge tank holding them. The tank begins to smoke and spark and the balloon goes down whilst a nearby {{p|Ledian}} watches. Aaron is almost beside himself with anger at the theft of his Pokémon, but snaps back to reality at Dawn's words. He reveals that as a small kid, he was a real crybaby, and he was horrible at battling. After a loss to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, he blamed it on Wurmple, saying that Wurmple was weak, and ran off before Wurmple could reply. He later felt so awful that he ran back later in the day but it was too late and his best friend had gone.

It was this, Aaron reveals, that drove him to work with every Bug type he could until he could master their language, but he never wants to go through the pain of losing another friend, which is why he needs to recover Vespiquen, Drapion and Skorupi. A Ledian flies up and tells Aaron that it saw the balloon crash nearby.

At the crash site, Meowth is half cursing and half admiring the ability of the five Pokémon to ruin their escape. Jessie tells him to stop being so impressed and fix the balloon, hose and tank. At that moment, Pikachu kicks out the side and leads the other four to safety. James immediately calls out {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, who as usual latches onto him in a back-breaking hug. Pikachu seizes the distraction to lead an escape, but Seviper cuts them off. Drapion leaps to the front and fights off Seviper, whilst Vespiquen jumps to help, but Carnivine hits her from behind with {{m|Bullet Seed}}, injuring her. Drapion is distracted and Seviper injures him with a powerful {{m|Poison Tail}}. As Team Rocket's Pokémon loom over Piplup, Skorupi and Pikachu, Aaron, Ash and the others arrive. Aaron pauses and recognises a nearby tree as the one where he met Wurmple for the first time.

Meowth and Wobbuffet attack with the suction tank again, seizing Pikachu, Piplup and Skorupi, but Aaron dives on his injured Vespiquen and Drapion, keeping them safely on the ground. Pikachu and Piplup manage to each grab a branch and hold Skorupi in place, causing Jessie to curse and James orders them Meowth to amp up the suction. It rips branches from the huge tree, much to Aaron's anguish, and is too much for Pikachu and Piplup, whose grips break and they fly into the suction.
