After some discussion, Ash plans to go to [[New Bark Town]] to register for the [[Silver Conference]] even though it is still three months away. {{TRT}} has plans of their own, and they decide to steal Ash's Badges for their own purposes; {{MTR}} and [[James]] want to sell the Badges, while [[Jessie]] wants to enter the Silver Conference using them. In the midst of their discussion, Team Rocket's food is stolen, with Wobbuffet receiving the blame. | ||

Jessie takes Ash's jacket and hands it to a hidden Meowth, whilst James puts Ash in an oversized red coat and golden crown. Ash poses for several photos, and Meowth and Wobbuffet are admiring Ash's Badges. Jessie then returns Ash's jacket and begins to walk away with James. However, Ash utters the word "prepared", causing Jessie and James to try and resist the urge to say their {{motto}}. Ash mentions the word "trouble" next, and Team Rocket instinctively reveal their true identities. Meowth and James tell Ash that they have come for his Badges. Ash peers inside his coat, noticing that the eight Badges have been replaced with bottle caps. | ||
Ash and friends | Ash and his friends chase Team Rocket, but {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} is further ahead with the Badge case. It decides to rest on a marked ledge with a Jessie flag on it. Wobbuffet then moves from its position, locating red Berry-filled trees. Wobbuffet imagines Jessie, James, and Meowth happily thanking it and stuffing their faces with the Berry. It promptly begins filling the Badge case with the Berries. As it does so, a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Wynaut}} watches hidden behind some shrubs, and it grabs the case. Wobbuffet quickly notices and the two Pokémon have an exchange. Jessie and the gang suddenly arrive, startling Wobbuffet and giving Wynaut time to flee. Unable to locate the case, Wobbuffet tries to explain what happened, with Meowth translating it and Wobbuffet drawing a picture of Wynaut in the dirt. Unfortunately, James misinterprets the drawing as being of his childhood nanny. After Wobbuffet states the thief was blue, Jessie believes a {{p|Wooper}} stole the Badges, and they try to find one. Meanwhile, Ash tries on his own to try to find the Badges. Though Clair mentions that he could have the Badges reissued, Ash refuses, stating that those particular Badges have special meaning to him. | ||
Team Rocket stumbles across a Wooper sitting on a rock in the middle of a running stream. She attempts to grab it with her hands, but it dodges the trio and runs into the forest. Meanwhile, Ash calls out {{AP|Noctowl}} and {{AP|Bayleef}} to search the forest alongside Clair and her {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}}. Misty and Brock stay together whilst Ash goes in a different direction to find Team Rocket. Noctowl and Bayleef find Wynaut and the case with the Badges and Berries. Wynaut is having trouble opening the case, so Bayleef lends its vines and returns the case back to Wynaut. With glee, Wynaut empties the case, and to Bayleef's astonishment, Ash's Badges also fall out. Noctowl flies off, locating Ash by a stream and notifies him of the discovery. | |||
Bayleef has since gathered the Badges on a large leaf. Wynaut's snack is suddenly interrupted when Wooper appears, followed by Team Rocket. {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}} are sent out to deal with the situation. Bayleef jumps backwards, holding both Wooper and the leaf of Badges to avoid Arbok's {{m|Poison Sting}}. Victreebel's {{m|Vine Whip}} trips the fleeing Bayleef, separating it from the Badges. Jessie again calls for a Poison Sting attack, but the Wynaut's {{m|Counter}} intercepts, sending the attack back towards Arbok. Just as Meowth retrieves the Badges from the ground, Ash arrives on the scene. Arbok uses Poison Sting again, this time allowing Team Rocket to escape to their awaiting Meowth balloon. Bayleef's Vine Whip sends Ash flying towards Team Rocket, but he narrowly misses the balloon's basket and begins falling to the ground. Noctowl quickly tries to catch him by the bag, but it slips from its grip. Clair and Dragonair then arrive and manage to rescue Ash. | |||
Ash gets Noctowl to pick Pikachu up from the ground, reaching the escaping Team Rocket soon after. Pikachu lets out a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and the balloon bursts, sending Team Rocket flying. Ash and his friends manage to rescue seven of the eight Badges, with only the Rising Badge missing. The group disperses once again to find the missing Badge in the surrounding greenery. Wynaut appears from the bushes with the Rising Badge in hand and hands it over to Bayleef. Bayleef then gives the Badge to Ash, who is searching nearby. However, when Bayleef tries to give credit to Wynaut for finding it, it disappears. A ship carrying logs suddenly travels past them on a nearby stream, with Wynaut standing on it and waving. However, by the time Ash looks up, both the ship and Wynaut have passed through. Misty, Clair, and Brock gather near Ash; and he shows them that the Badge has been recovered. | |||
The group later talks to {{an|Professor Oak}} via video phone in the Pokémon Center. Ash announces that he has all eight of his Johto Badges. The call ends abruptly, however, when [[Ash's Snorlax]], {{AP|Kingler}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and {{AP|Muk}} become too enthusiastic, crushing Professor Oak. Clair instructs Ash to follow a road to the sea, then to follow the coastline to reach New Bark Town in order to register for the Johto League Silver Conference. The group waves goodbye to Clair and begins to head towards their next destination. | |||
