Meanwhile, {{TRT}}, further upstream, is relaxing when Dratini passes by. [[Jessie]] is enamored by the Dratini, hoping to catch one for herself. As [[James]] sends out {{TP|James|Weezing}}, they are suddenly doused in Gyarados's Hydro Pump, and soon come face-to-face with Clair. When Team Rocket tries to threaten her, she has her Gyarados use another Hydro Pump to them flying. Meanwhile, Ash and company, with Kaburagi, manage to make up their ground with Clair. Kaburagi implores Clair to return in time for the ritual, but Clair objects, seeing as Dratini is preparing to shed its skin, a point in which Dratini are the most vulnerable. When Dratini leaves, Clair and Gyarados follow, and Ash and company have no choice but to follow them and let Dratini shed its skin before preparing for the ritual. Team Rocket, intending on stealing Dratini, is also in pursuit, though James contends that Dratini would fetch a high price either on the open market or as a gift to {{an|Giovanni}}, Jessie is adamant that she is keeping Dratini for herself, thinking that it is cute.

Knowing that pursuing Dratini may take the entire day, Clair takes a break for lunch. This gives an opportunity for Ash to challenge Clair, which Clair accepts. Kaburagi, noticing that Ash had won the [[Badge]] from [[Mahogany Town]], asks them whether the rumors of a {{TP|Lance|Red Gyarados|Gyarados}} rampaging near town were true. Ash and company proceed to tell them the [[EP235|whole]] [[EP236|story]] and how they met [[Lance]]. Clair and her assistant are surprised at the fact that Lance is a [[Pokémon G-Men|Pokémon G-Man]], which surprises Ash, not knowing that they, too, are acquainted with Lance. Clair reveals that the two are both Dragon {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who had trained with each other. Knowing this, Ash and Clair are both excited about their upcoming battle. Their lunch is disrupted by [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|an elderly couple]], who wants to take pictures with Dratini. Though Clair is reluctant, she allows the couple to go near Dratini, only for the couple to trap Dratini in a net. The couple reveals themselves to be Jessie and James, while {{MTR}} covers their escape using a smoke bomb.

While Clair is in hot pursuit of Team Rocket's [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]], Dratini tries desperately to break free by rocking the balloon. When the balloon crashes, it makes a desperate attempt to escape into the water, which Jessie quickly stops. This allows Clair to catch up. Trying to defend themselves, James sends out Weezing, but it is dispatched easily by Gyarados. {{an|Pikachu}} tries to {{m|Thunderbolt}} Team Rocket to send them flying, but {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}'s {{m|Counter}} deflects the attack in all directions, hitting Ash, Pikachu, Team Rocket, and nearly hitting {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and Kaburagi. As one of the errant bolts is about to hit Dratini, Clair dives to protect it. Just at that moment, Dratini [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dragonair}}, much to Jessie's dismay who contends that it was much cuter as a Dratini. As Dragonair is far rarer, Team Rocket presses on their attack, but thanks to Gyarados's {{m|Hyper Beam}} and Dragonair's {{m|Twister}}, they are sent flying.
