Ash and {{an|Brock}} face off in the institute mock battle with Jimmy judging, with Ash choosing his {{AP|Swellow}} and {{AP|Corphish}} and Brock using his {{TP|Brock|Lombre}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. After a few exchanges, Ash manages to back Lombre into a vulnerable position. As this is a battle to test the judges more than the Trainers, though, Brock has his Lombre play dead rather than reposition itself, meaning that it appears unable to battle. While Jimmy wonders if he should call the match, Ash orders Swellow to do an {{m|Aerial Ace}} attack. Lombre, however, springs back up at the last moment. Unfortunately for Brock, his sneak attack fails to knock out Swellow. Brock orders a double {{m|Water Gun}} against Swellow to finish the fight, but Ash orders Corphish to shield Swellow from the blow. Corphish initially buckles beneath the force of the attack, and Jimmy decides to call Corphish unable to battle. However, his amateur judgment is also premature and Corphish springs back up moments later. The teacher, Serena, scolds Jimmy quite forcefully. She goes on to say that he's still studying and will make mistakes sometimes, and this is the time to make mistakes. Also, whether right or wrong, a referee must appear confident. | Ash and {{an|Brock}} face off in the institute mock battle with Jimmy judging, with Ash choosing his {{AP|Swellow}} and {{AP|Corphish}} and Brock using his {{TP|Brock|Lombre}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}.

After night falls, Jimmy sits outside with Pokémon, brooding over his mistakes earlier in the day.

Ash and his friends go out to find Jimmy, Jimmy tells them his whole story, including how he got his three Pokémon. He tells them that Wartortle, who was a Squirtle, was his starter. He got Ivysaur by accidentally giving it a sandwich. Finally, he traded a shiny Magikarp to someone for his Charmeleon. He also shows them his only Badge, a {{Badge|Cascade}}, and Ash tells him that he must be a pretty good Trainer to have beaten their friend and [[Gym Leader]], {{an|Misty}}. Jimmy then explains that this was given to him by {{an|Daisy}} for cleaning the [[Cerulean Gym]]'s pool; Misty was away when he visited [[Cerulean City]]. Jimmy tells Ash that he has had a long streak of bad luck, and came to the judging academy by accident, adding that he ended up on Bomba Island after his moored boat drifted away from Lilycove’s ports while he was asleep. Professor Serena appears, and encourages Jimmy to focus on using his heart. | ||
Meanwhile, in the distance, a Team Rocket mecha drives up onto the beach, with the villainous trio determined to capture Jimmy's three Pokémon. The mecha that Team Rocket is using has three {{i|Poké Ball}}-shaped prisons, each of which steal and hold one of Jimmy's Pokémon. Jimmy gives chase. Somehow, Jimmy gets atop the mecha and tries to free his Pokémon with a sharp rock, but he is easily knocked off the mecha. Jimmy becomes disheartened, but Serena gives him a speech about his good heart, which renews his faith. He rushes towards the mecha, only to be punched by its claw. Determined to free itself, Wartortle evolves into {{p|Blastoise}}, and its increased size breaks open its containment chamber. The other two are also released by Blastoise using {{m|Hydro Pump}}. The three then use a combination of {{m|Razor Leaf}}, {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}} to send Team Rocket blasting off. Serena advises Jimmy that he should become a Trainer, not a judge. The next day, Jimmy takes his mentor's words to heart and prepares to sail back to Lilycove City to continue his journey. Ash and his friends hire a boat and get back on course to their next island of choice. | Meanwhile, in the distance, a Team Rocket mecha drives up onto the beach, with the villainous trio determined to capture Jimmy's three Pokémon.
