{{an|May}} and [[Max]] take a moment to do some {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} spotting while the others prepare the camp. However, Max's enthusiasm keeps scaring the [[wild Pokémon]] off. May orders her brother to calm down, but Max explains that the real life experience is far more interesting than what he has read in books. {{Ash}} shares Max's sentiments, declaring that winning {{pkmn|battle}}s and making new friends is fantastic. The group suddenly finds themselves surrounded by trio of hostile {{p|Mightyena}}. Ash takes a moment to check his [[Pokédex]] as May orders him to use some of his real life experience to combat the situation. So Ash sends {{AP|Pikachu}} forward, and he is soon joined by [[Brock's Forretress]] and [[May's Torchic]] to even the match up. Pikachu is first to be struck down before a {{p|Poochyena}} comes running in, followed by {{OBP|Katrina|AG011}}. She explains that the area is a Pokémon Preserve. May replies that they are simply traveling through to reach [[Rustboro City]]. Katrina apologizes for her suspicions. As everyone introduces themselves, {{an|Brock}} cuts in with his overwhelming affection, causing Katrina to become uncomfortable, and the Mightyena promptly attack him. The scene cuts to {{TRT}}, who have heard that the woods are supposed to be full of Pokémon, but haven't seen any. Then they notice one and suddenly they spot several more that they'd overlooked. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} pops up, holding some kind of sign. Reading it, they see that it's a notice indicating that the area is a Pokémon Preserve. They immediately start plotting to steal Pokémon.

Katrina takes the group back to the Preserve Center, where she nurses sick Pokémon back to health. Brock claims that he, too, is a doctor, though Poochyena {{m|Tackle}}s him to end the spiel. Katrina scolds it and Brock claims that she even scolds beautifully. Soon after, Poochyena is sleeping and Max takes the opportunity to scan in with the Pokédex. He declares that Poochyena must be ready to [[evolution|evolve]], though Katrina doubts it, revealing that Poochyena is the same age as the group of Mightyena seen earlier. Katrina declares that it hasn't evolved yet, probably because it only uses Tackle. Katrina says that she is not worried - it's not a problem if it takes a long time to evolve or even if it never evolves. Max protests that Mightyena are much more powerful than Poochyena, and starts extolling the benefits of evolving to the Poochyena. May starts thinking about her Torchic evolving, and she learns from her Pokédex that Torchic evolves into {{p|Combusken}}. Max and May are instantly keen to have Torchic evolve soon, but Ash dashes their hopes of an instant result. He explains that Pokémon has to gain [[experience]] trough battling first, and it takes a while. Max complains about why things take so long, and Brock offers him another perspective, admitting that if it were easy to evolve Pokémon, it would not be so fun. Ash elaborates that getting to know each other overtime is part of the experience. May queries why Pikachu hasn’t evolved, and Ash says there are different kinds of evolution. Brock proceeds with an impromptu lecture on evolution, demonstrating that many Pokémon like {{p|Pineco}} and Poochyena evolve with experience, while others such as Pikachu need an [[evolution stone]] to evolve. He also touches on branched evolution, using {{p|Eevee}} as his example.

Max insists he wants to stay there awhile because Poochyena must be ready to evolve. Katrina says there's no guarantee Poochyena will evolve soon, but she does have room if they want to stay. Ash wants to hurry on his way to challenge the next [[Gym]], but Brock immediately accepts in the hopes of getting closer to Katrina. Max tells Poochyena he'll do everything he can to help it evolve. Outside, Max gets Poochyena to battle Torchic, urging it to use {{m|Bite}} instead of Tackle. Torchic finally gets fed up and scorches both of them with an {{m|Ember}} before walking off. Max rushes back inside the cabin to ask Ash if he can borrow Pikachu or another of Ash's Pokémon to fight Poochyena. Ash seemingly agrees, but May enters the room and declares that says Max will probably just get the Pokémon to lose deliberately so Poochyena can evolve. Ash says that such faked battles aren't good for Poochyena.
