Team Rocket steps in and defeats Golduck, all part of their plan to get the Ludicolo on their good side so they can snag them for the boss. Alas, this plan is quickly abandoned when the grateful Ludicolo turn out to be too energetic for Team Rocket to bear. As for the dejected Golduck and its friends, they have the good fortune to run into Piplup. Piplup take charges and goes right up to the Ludicolo, determined to show them the error of their ways. Team Rocket watches it all while feasting on their ill-gotten berries and, unsurprisingly, decides this is a great opportunity to steal a whole lot of Pokémon at once. | Team Rocket steps in and defeats Golduck, all part of their plan to get the Ludicolo on their good side so they can snag them for the boss.

Team Rocket pounces on the gathered Pokémon with the help of their Magikarp submarine.

Piplup tries to save them, but Team Rocket launches a swarm of robot Remoraid that are just too much for Piplup to handle. That is, until Piplup finally pulls off a Contest-worthy spinning Bubble Beam move that wrecks the robots and turns the tide in our heroes' favor! Once it's revealed that Team Rocket had the berries all along, Golduck apologizes for falsely accusing the Ludicolo and the Pokémon join forces to beat Team Rocket. And with an amazing new move mastered, Dawn and Piplup can look forward to their upcoming Contest with newfound confidence!</i> | ||

The episode begins in a darkened [[Pokémon Contest]] Hall, with an announcer introducing the next Coordinator to perform. The Coordinator in question is then bathed in spotlight, and we see that is it {{an|Dawn}} wearing a long green dress.

The Coordinator in question is then bathed in spotlight, and we see that is it {{an|Dawn}} wearing a long green dress. Dawn smiles, and after taking out a [[Poké Ball]], throws it to release {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and then tells it to use {{m|Bubble Beam}}. Piplup does so, creating a large ring of bubbles around it as it spins around releasing the attack. The bubbles then fall and explode, amazing the audience. Dawn continues to smile confidently, before looking up and seeing that Piplup is getting dizzy from spinning around over and over. The bubbles are sent flying at the audience, who scream in fear. Piplup then falls to the ground, hitting the Contest Hall floor hard. | ||
At that, we find that everything in the Hall was just Dawn's imagination, everything really taking place in the middle of a field. Dawn rubs the back of her neck and looks over to {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{an|Brock}} who all hold up cards with red X's on the showing that her appeal failed. Dawn isn't about to let that get her down however, and tells Piplup to use the grand finish | At that, we find that everything in the Hall was just Dawn's imagination, everything really taking place in the middle of a field. Dawn rubs the back of her neck and looks over to {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{an|Brock}} who all hold up cards with red X's on the showing that her appeal failed. Dawn isn't about to let that get her down however, and tells Piplup to use the grand finish Bubble Beam appeal again. Piplup once again jumps into the air and start spinning around while using Bubble Beam, but quickly becomes dizzy. The bubbles then rain down on Ash, Brock and Pikachu who dance around trying to avoid them. Piplup hits the dirt again, and Dawn runs over to it, worried. | ||
We then find {{TRT}}, along with {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, lying flat on the ground in sheer exhaustion. They soon get up, and all start looking around to see if they can see some food, or Pikachu, or something to steal. Out of nowhere, they come across a large pile of delicious looking berries which [[Jessie]] claims to be a gift from God himself. {{MTR}} jumps at the pile, grabbing one of them and is about to chow down before Jessie shouts at him to stop. Meowth angrily asks why, and Jessie rubs her chin and says that this does seem a little suspicious and that maybe some Pokémon have been collecting it all here. The group look at the pile, before running off with it all. | We then find {{TRT}}, along with {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, lying flat on the ground in sheer exhaustion.

As James gets his head chomped down on by Carnivine, Jessie tells Seviper to use {{m|Poison Tail}}. Seviper does so, smashing its tail into Golduck. James then orders Carnivine to use Bite attack, which is followed by Seviper using Haze to scare Golduck, Poliwag, Wooper and Quagsire away. They then turn around and greet the three Ludicolo, who smile and wave at Team Rocket in return. Team Rocket explain that they are their friends and that they are here to help them, and the Ludicolo grab hold of Jessie and James and spin them around in happiness. | As James gets his head chomped down on by Carnivine, Jessie tells Seviper to use {{m|Poison Tail}}.

Elsewhere, Ash and {{ashfr}} are sitting down to a delicious and relaxing lunch. As Pikachu eats, Piplup nods to itself and runs into the high grass.

As Pikachu eats, Piplup nods to itself and runs into the high grass. Brock turns his head to Pikachu, and wonders where Piplup is. On the opposite side of the grass, Piplup jumps into the air and starts to practice its Bubble Beam appeal. Like last time however, Piplup becomes dizzy and hits the ground. By the time Piplup gets up, Quagsire and the other Pokémon in Golduck's group run past and smash into the small penguin Pokémon. Piplup isn't impressed, but Golduck starts to rant and rave. Piplup nods and motions to them to let it deal with their problem. Golduck is incredibly surprised at this, even more so when Piplup tells them to follow it. | ||
The other Pokémon nod and follow Piplup's march. Watching all of this is Ash, Dawn, Brock and Pikachu who start to follow them in secret after Ash checks Golduck on his Pokédex. Back with Piplup, we find them as the group comes across Ludicolo dancing happily around their own little pile of berries. Piplup marches over to the Ludicolo and tries to talk to the less than impressed trio as Ash and his friends look on. Dawn asks what the Pokémon Piplup is talking to are, and Brock, having once had one, tells her that they are Ludicolo. The Ludicolo trio then wave their hands at Piplup, uninterested at what the young Pokémon has to say. They then spit out a triple {{m|Water Gun}} at Piplup which makes it even more angry. In response to this, Piplup jumps up and tries a {{m|Peck}} attack on Ludicolo. The attack fails however, but Piplup gets back up and puts its wing to its chest proudly. From below the lake, Team Rocket watch the group. | The other Pokémon nod and follow Piplup's march.

The Magikarp submarine then emerges from the lake, and Team Rocket pop out of their sub and begin to recite their motto. Ash isn't happy to see them, and demands to know what they're up to this time. Jessie laughs and tells Ash that all they want is what they usually want: their Pokémon. Piplup swims back to shore, and then jumps back at the submarine and starts to Peck quickly at it. Piplup is thrown back at the lake however by the sub's fin, which prompts Ash to tell Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Team Rocket quickly duck back into the submarine and laugh inside it as the electric attacks faze out on the Magikarp's electric-proof armor. Jessie tells Meowth to fire off the Magikarp's secret weapon. Meowth presses a button on the wall, which fires off two wires, one of which grabs Golduck's group and the other which gets the Ludicolo trio and Pikachu. Piplup comes out from the lake again and seeing its captured friends, tries to free them to no avail. Seeing that the wires are too tough to snap with its beak, Piplup jumps back at the submarine and starts to Peck it in anger. Jessie doesn't seem impressed by these attacks, and Meowth grins and tells her that he can deal with Piplup easily. | The Magikarp submarine then emerges from the lake, and Team Rocket pop out of their sub and begin to recite their motto.

He presses another button, and several robotic {{p|Remoraid}} are fired out of Magikarp's mouth which sends Piplup flying back to shore. The Remoraid continue to fly back and forth, smashing into Piplup over and over again. Dawn, worried at her hurt Pokémon, runs towards Piplup through all the Remoraid. Piplup, seeing that Dawn cares for it and is willing to risk being hurt to save it, dries its tears and jumps up, dodging the robotic Pokémon and starting its | He presses another button, and several robotic {{p|Remoraid}} are fired out of Magikarp's mouth which sends Piplup flying back to shore.

Piplup, seeing that Dawn cares for it and is willing to risk being hurt to save it, dries its tears and jumps up, dodging the robotic Pokémon and starting its Bubble Beam appeal. Spinning around and firing Bubble Beam, the attack manages to hit all of the Remoraid and destroys them. Piplup then spins back down to the ground and despite nearly falling over, lands perfectly. Dawn, happy at her Pokémon finally perfecting the move, tells it to use it on Team Rocket's submarine. Piplup does so, and the spinning bubbles somehow create a whirlpool which sucks Team Rocket into the bottom of the lake. | ||
Having dealt with their threat, the group release the captured Pokémon as Dawn hugs Piplup. The Magikarp bursts out of the lake again and Team Rocket gasp for air. Tired and hurt, Jessie, James and Meowth can't move quickly enough to dodge Pikachu's Thunderbolt which enters the insides and causes the submarine to explode and send them blasting off again. The explosion sends all of the berries that Team Rocket stole raining down on Ash and his friends and all of the Pokémon. Ash grabs one of the berries and wonders if these were the berries that caused all of the trouble. Golduck apologizes to the Ludicolo and both groups shake hands. | Having dealt with their threat, the group release the captured Pokémon as Dawn hugs Piplup.
