The episode opens with {{Ash}} standing expectantly on the prow of a small motor boat. As the narrator explains, after a long trip Ash and {{ashfr}} have finally arrived in [[Sootopolis City]], the site of the eighth and final [[Hoenn League]] Gym. After planting his feet on dry land, Ash immediately and enthusiastically declares that it's time to challenge the [[Sootopolis Gym]]. Unfortunately for Ash, {{an|May}} and [[Max]] spot a nearby fireworks display and run off to watch it, with Brock close in the tow. Though Ash is disappointed, he reluctantly follows them. Max and May trace the fireworks to above Sootopolis City's brand new water-themed theatre, where the city's mayor and the Sootopolis [[Gym Leader]], [[Juan]], are busy commemorating the building. In honor of the occasion, Juan calls out his Pokémon, including among many others {{p|Milotic}}, {{p|Sealeo}}, {{p|Seaking}}, and {{p|Luvdisc}} to put on a performance for the crowd. May admires the artistry with his Pokémon take the stage, and comments that Juan could have been a great {{pkmn|Coordinator}}. | The episode opens with {{Ash}} standing expectantly on the prow of a small motor boat.

Unfortunately, before the show can progress much further, the distinct ring of a {{p|Chimecho}} interrupts Juan's speech. He looks up for the source -- and, as it should so happen, none other than {{TRT}} have arrived on the scene. Though Juan mistakenly assumes that they must be artists (given the beautiful voice of James's Chimecho), Ash and friends soon clarify the situation for the Sootopolis Gym Leader.

He looks up for the source -- and, as it should so happen, none other than {{TRT}} have arrived on the scene. Though Juan mistakenly assumes that they must be artists (given the beautiful voice of James's Chimecho), Ash and his friends soon clarify the situation for the Sootopolis Gym Leader. Team Rocket drops an electrified net from their balloon to ensnare and steal Juan's Pokémon. Ash offers to help Juan out of this sticky situation, but the Gym Leader refuses the aid, instead allowing his {{p|Gorebyss}} to use {{m|Safeguard}}, {{p|Barboach}} to use {{m|Mud Sport}}, and {{p|Tentacruel}} to use {{m|Mirror Coat}}, effectively countering the net's electric shock. Juan has Milotic break the net with {{m|Iron Tail}} and send Team Rocket blasting off with {{m|Twister}}, cutting the would-be theft short. When Juan thanks Ash and company for warning him, Ash challenges Juan to a Gym Battle on the spot. Juan accepts the challenge without hesitation. | ||
After the performance and on the way to the Gym in Juan's personal boat, Ash and friends sit down with Juan for a cup of tea.

May comments that in watching Juan's performance she felt like she was watching a [[Pokémon Contest]]. Juan is humbled to hear that and says that May's comment takes him back. He explains that he was a Pokémon Coordinator before he became a Gym Leader and reveals that he even won himself a [[Ribbon Cup]], the ultimate prize of the [[Grand Festival]]. Everyone present is extremely impressed, and Ash realizes he is facing a formidable opponent with experience from many different fields. Meanwhile, Juan reveals that his style of battling focuses on artistry and that he actually enjoys the {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} weakness against {{type|Electric}} [[Move|attacks]]. Max is surprised to heat that someone could like a Pokémon for its weakness and Juan informs him that, throughout his years participating in [[Contest Battle]]s, he has learned that battling at a disadvantage has its own appeal. He further explains that he has learned to be defensive against attacks that might be tricky to his Pokémon, usually waiting for each attack and then making his move. When Max comments that Juan will be tough to beat, Ash cryptically responds that he has "a few ''ideals''" up his sleeve. | ||

Sebastian further explains the complicated rules of the Gym -- each participant will use five Pokémon, with the first round being a [[Double Battle]], the second round being a series of three one-on-one battles. Brock explains that this Gym is probably designed to test the challenger's ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Juan chooses {{p|Sealeo}} and {{p|Seaking}} to start the first round, while Ash begins his battle with {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Snorunt}}. Pikachu begins the round with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} against Sealeo. Juan uses Seaking's {{m|Horn Drill}} to deflect the Thunderbolt back against Snorunt, which takes the Thunderbolt directly. Ash directs a {{m|Thunder}} attack from Pikachu, which Seaking again deflects with its Horn Drill. Pikachu is ready for it this time, shielding Snorunt and taking the brunt of the deflected Thunder attack. Juan then orders a {{m|Blizzard}} attack from Sealeo. Ash has Snorunt retaliate with {{m|Icy Wind}}, somehow freezing the Blizzard into a boulder of ice. Juan's Pokémon destroy the frozen ball with Sealeo's {{m|Aurora Beam}} and Seaking's {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but Ash takes advantage of situation by order his Pokémon to leap across the trail of ice fragments. Pikachu closes with {{m|Iron Tail}} while Snorunt attacks with {{m|Headbutt}}. Juan counters with the much more powerful Aurora Beam and Hyper Beam. While Pikachu is able to break off his attack in time to dodge Aurora Beam, Snorunt is hit by the Hyper Beam and faints. Ash [[recall]]s Snorunt and sends out {{AP|Corphish}} to take its place. Corphish opens with a {{m|BubbleBeam}}, which Sealeo and Seaking dodge by diving. Juan uses this opportunity to mount an underwater attack against Ash's Pokémon by using Aurora Beam and {{m|Horn Attack}}. Pikachu jumps out of the way and Corphish is able to grab Seaking by the horn before it can attack, but Juan orders Seaking to use Horn Drill, which sends Corphish flying. Pikachu successfully uses Iron Tail on Seaking and narrowly dodges an Aurora Beam from Sealeo. Pikachu's attack leaves Seaking [[Fainting|unable to battle]]. | ||
Pikachu reappears a moment later "surfing" on Corphish. Juan orders several {{m|Ice Ball}}s, which Ash initially deflects with Corphish's {{m|Harden}} and {{m|Vice Grip}} and Pikachu's Iron Tail. Ash knows that Ice Ball becomes more powerful and takes longer to launch every time and so plans to move in the gap after the third ice ball. However, Sealeo launches the third ball extremely quickly and hits both Pikachu and Corphish. Juan orders a fifth Ice Ball as a coup de'grace, and is surprised when Pikachu is able to turn up the juice and destroy it with Thunder. As the shards of ice rain down on the distracted Sealeo, Corphish moves in with {{m|Crabhammer}}, which leaves Sealeo unable to battle.

The Gym match advances to the second round, with the field changing to a lake with several towers and more land. Meanwhile, elsewhere, Team Rocket is planning to disguise James as Juan... | ||

Grovyle dodges and moves in with {{m|Leaf Blade}}, which Luvdisc then dodges and counters with {{m|Sweet Kiss}}.
