The episode begins with {{Ash}} and [[Clair]] on the battlefield, about to begin a three-on-three battle, with [[Kaburagi]] as judge. Clair leads off with {{p|Kingdra}}, which Ash responds with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Pikachu tries to {{m|Thunderbolt}} Kingdra, who easily shakes the attack off. This puzzles Misty and Brock. Kingdra responds with {{m|Twister}}, which catches Pikachu. However, Pikachu manages to recover, and launches a {{m|Thunder}} attack, only for Kingdra to shake it off as well. Ash is also puzzled by why Kingdra is easily repelling Pikachu's attacks, to which Clair replies that, though Kingdra is evolved from a {{p|Seadra}} (a {{t|Water}} type, the reason which Ash made his decision to lead off with Pikachu), upon evolution it gains the {{t|Dragon}} type as well. Kingdra continues the battle with {{m|Hydro Pump}}, which Pikachu returns fire with Thunderbolt. | The episode begins with {{Ash}} and [[Clair]] on the battlefield, about to begin a three-on-three battle, with [[Kaburagi]] as judge.

Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] is lamenting the loss of {{p|Dratini}}, but is cheered up by the prospect of food. As Jessie is planning her revenge against Clair, the food meant to cheer her up is stolen from right under them. Though {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} notices this, the others blame Wobbuffet (after hearing the voice of a hidden {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Wynaut}}) for eating all the food. However, they do manage to formulate a plan to steal the Dragon Fang. | Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] is lamenting the loss of {{p|Dratini}}, but is cheered up by the prospect of food.

Back at the Gym, Ash is convinced to switch out Pikachu after a {{m|Quick Attack}} also fails to faze Kingdra. Sending in {{AP|Noctowl}} instead, Ash tries to use its psychic abilities to try and land a blow against Kingdra. Elsewhere, {{TRT}} manages to sneak in and steal the Dragon Fang without setting off its infra-red alarms, however, an overzealous Wobbuffet manages to knock the group over, breaking one of the beams. The alarm reaches the battlefield, where, as Team Rocket was stealing the Dragon Fang, Noctowl had managed to land a {{m|Confusion}} on Kingdra, but a Hydro Pump had managed to break its momentum when Noctowl tried to throw it. Noctowl's {{m|Hypnosis}} also missed its mark thanks to Kingdra's {{m|Agility}}, and Kingdra managed to land a Hydro Pump on Noctowl, about to knock it out just as the alarm sounded. | Back at the Gym, Ash is convinced to switch out Pikachu after a {{m|Quick Attack}} also fails to faze Kingdra.

Abandoning the battle, the group pursues Team Rocket, who had managed to commandeer a boat. The group uses {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}}, {{AP|Totodile}}, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, and {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} to follow. Team Rocket escapes into the Dragon's Den, a cave in the middle of the water.

Their pursuit in the cave leads them to the [[Dragon Holy Land]], a place that Clair had once trained with [[Lance]]. Team Rocket is saved from falling down by the waterfall into the Holy Land by a {{p|Dragonite}}, who Team Rocket convinces that they are trying to protect the Dragon Fang from Clair and the rest. | ||
Ash and his friends also manage to reach the Holy Land, and they split up to look for Team Rocket. Dragonite manages to fire a {{m|Hyper Beam}} as a warning shot to the group, just as Clair arrives. Kaburagi explains that the Dragonite had once belonged to the first {{OBP|Gym Leader|EP253}} of Blackthorn City, and had never felt the same since her Trainer had passed away. However, they are unsure as to why Dragonite would assist Team Rocket.
