Meanwhile, Pidgeotto swoops and defeats Weedle, but, just as Ash is about to toss a {{ball|Poké}}, Samurai arrives and asks him if he is from [[Pallet Town]]. When Ash affirms it, Samurai challenges Ash to a Pokémon battle. The {{pkmn2|wild}} Weedle escapes and Ash reprimands Samurai for causing him to lose the Weedle. However, Samurai says that Ash allowed it to escape. The two then begin their Pokémon battle.

Ash uses his exhausted Pidgeotto against Samurai's {{p|Pinsir}}. Pidgeotto uses {{m|Sand Attack}}, but it is defeated by Pinsir's {{m|Tackle}}. Ash then sends out his {{AP|Metapod}}, which wins after its {{m|Harden}} breaks Pinsir's pincers. Samurai sends out his own {{p|Metapod}} and the two Metapod continue to use Harden in a battle of willpower, leaving Misty and Pikachu wondering if the match will ever end. After spotting a {{p|Beedrill}} swarm, Samurai recalls his Pokémon and flees, though Ash checks his [[Pokedex]] for details. A Beedrill kidnaps Ash's Metapod, though Ash tries to return his Pokémon. Pikachu {{m|Thunderbolt}}s a Beedrill and Misty grabs Ash. The group starts running and catches up with Samurai. They hide amongst some shrubs, only to encounter a hive of {{p|Kakuna}}. When the Kakuna evolve into more Beedrill, the group flees to Samurai's log cabin.

Samurai rebukes Ash for putting his Metapod in danger, then admits that he lost against three other Trainers from Pallet Town, including {{Gary}}. However, he insists Ash is a novice. Ash keeps quiet, and promises himself that he will find Metapod the next day and look after him better from then on. During the night, he is unable to sleep and can only think about his Metapod.

Early the next morning, Ash begins his search for Metapod. He sees him lying at the base of a tree, surrounded by many {{p|Kakuna}}, and attempts to sneak forward through the grass towards him without alerting the Beedrill swarm. However, he is interrupted by {{MTR}}, who jumps on the back of his head. A moment later, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] appear on a cliff overhead, and launch loudly into their {{motto}}, ignoring Ash's warnings that they will alert the Beedrill. The sound awakens the Beedrill, who prepare to dive-bomb Ash and Team Rocket. Ash rolls underneath their attacks and reaches Metapod. Jessie and James attempt to take cover in their cardboard van, though some {{p|Weedle}} have begun to chew through it, and they run instead.

Ash attempts to recall Metapod to his Poké Ball, but he shakes in disagreement. With a Beedrill fast approaching, Ash runs with Metapod in his arms. Seeing a look of sorrow in Metapod's eyes, Ash realizes that he has lost Metapod's trust. Ash attempts to explain what happened, saying that losing Metapod was all Samurai's fault. However, Ash suddenly realizes that he is lying to himself and to Metapod, and admits that losing Metapod was his fault and his alone. Ash is upset upon realizing that it was his carelessness that put his Pokémon's life in danger, and, amid tearful apologies to Metapod, he sincerely promises to take better care of him. As Samurai, Misty, and Pikachu arrive in a protective bug net, Metapod leaps into the path of a Beedrill's {{m|Twineedle}}, sparing Ash. Ash cradles Metapod, thinking he has been badly injured, but he instead begins to glow. The hole in his shell has triggered Metapod's [[evolution]] into {{AP|Butterfree}}. Ash gazes happily at his first fully-evolved Pokémon, and even Misty isn't fearful, going so far as to call Ash's Butterfree beautiful.
