The group is on their way to [[Mt. Silver]], with [[Ash's Larvitar]] napping peacefully in his [[bag|backpack]].

Having lost the Ursaring, the group stops to catch their breath. Larvitar then wanders over and discovers a hot spring. Brock notices a variety of wild Pokémon sitting serenely in the hot water. Ash walks forward to test the water, but sets off an alarm by breaking a trip wire with his foot. A boy walks out from the growth, calling a challenge to {{p|Entei}}, only to discover the trio. He explains that he has studied all of the recent Entei sightings and determined that it is next due to appear at the springs. He introduces himself as [[Nelson]]. | Having lost the Ursaring, the group stops to catch their breath. Larvitar then wanders over and discovers a hot spring.

Later on, Larvitar has recovered and appears encouraged by Ash, Misty and Brock's Pokémon (save for his {{type|Rock}} {{TP|Brock|Onix}} and {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}) enjoying the springs. However, it flinches away when {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} flails around in an attempt to swim and gets splashed. Misty attempts to get Psyduck into the springs, but it ends up trapped in hot sand. Brock discovers that it is pleasantly warm, and sends out his Onix and Geodude to enjoy it with Psyduck; Onix promptly buries Psyduck in sand as it makes a bed for itself. Geodude lands behind Larvitar, and shoves the young Rock type head first into the sand. However, Larvitar enjoys the sand and Ash notes that it's finally beginning to enjoy itself. Cyndaquil and Totodile start a sand ball fight, but when {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} hits Larvitar, it does not take it with Totodile's humor and promptly begins to cry again. | Later on, Larvitar has recovered and appears encouraged by Ash, Misty and Brock's Pokémon (save for his {{type|Rock}} {{TP|Brock|Onix}} and {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}) enjoying the springs.

Watching close by are [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}, with the latter two noting that the last thing they want in {{TRT}} is another screamer. However, they plot to steal Larvitar anyway, with Meowth hatching his "At the Bath Fruit Smoothie Plan". Jessie and James pull up in a large truck and recite their {{motto}}, before offering the group free taste test smoothies. Misty and Brock are suspicious, but Ash waves away their suspicions and takes Larvitar, Pikachu and his other Pokémon into the back of the truck.

In the back, Jessie and James slide back a panel and taunt Ash, causing him to realize the deception and plan to break out. However, despite all of his Pokémon's efforts, not even Bayleef makes an impression on the doors. Pikachu then attempts a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, succeeding only in shocking everyone in the back while Jessie and James gleefully proclaim that electric attacks are useless in their anti-electrified truck.

Pikachu then attempts a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, succeeding only in shocking everyone in the back while Jessie and James gleefully proclaim that electric attacks are useless in their anti-electrified truck. Cyndaquil and Totodile continue their attacks, succeeding only in making the metal glow. Ash then remembers the hot-cold technique that his Noctowl had taught him, and orders his two starters to alternate attacks until Bayleef's {{m|Razor Leaf}} cleaves straight through the metal. Noctowl then grabs {{AP|Phanpy}} and Cyndaquil and flies out, while Ash and the others cling to Bayleef, whose {{m|Vine Whip}} seizes a nearby branch and Ash's group is yanked to safety, with the exception of Larvitar, who Ash drops in midair. It is then caught by a {{p|Misdreavus}}, who returns it to Ash. Nelson then runs up, revealing the Misdreavus to be his. Misty and Brock come running to catch up, and they meet Misdreavus, Misty exclaiming it to be pretty. Nelson then challenges Ash to a battle, promising to show off his Pokémon's special move that he claims will help him catch Entei. Team Rocket discovers to their horror that Ash has escaped. | ||
Brock referees a two on two {{pkmn|battle}}, and Ash's Phanpy volunteers to fight first. Phanpy's {{m|Take Down}} overcomes Misdreavus' {{m|Headbutt}}, and Misdreavus' {{m|Swift}} is blocked by {{m|Defense Curl}}. However, Phanpy's attempt to {{m|Rollout}} dodge {{m|Psybeam}} fails and the attack scores a direct hit, confusing Phanpy. Nelson then reveals his secret attack, {{m|Mean Look}}, which Ash notes doesn't seem to have done anything. On Misty's advice, Ash recalls Phanpy, but the Poké Ball does not recall Phanpy. Nelson explains that Mean Look prevents substitutions in battle, or fleeing in [[wild Pokémon]], and that he plans to use it to capture Entei. | Brock referees a two on two {{pkmn|battle}}, and Ash's Phanpy volunteers to fight first.
