{{Ash}} is traveling along with {{AP|Pikachu}} as they begin their journey towards [[Striaton City]] and the first [[Unova]] [[Striaton Gym|Gym]], however Ash is finding himself followed by {{an|Iris}}, the young girl he met a couple of days earlier. Tensions rise after Iris and Ash argue about who is following who, which lead to some name calling, when suddenly the {{p|Oshawott}} who helped them save Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} from [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} [[BW002|previously]] emerges. Iris is happy that Oshawott has followed her, but it soon becomes clear that he has actually followed Ash when he climbs on his shoulder and shoves Pikachu from his usual spot. Pikachu isn't very happy about this and tries to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Oshawott, but Oshawott deflects it with his scalchop, so the attack shocks Ash instead, much to Iris's pleasure. | {{Ash}} is traveling along with {{AP|Pikachu}} as they begin their journey towards [[Striaton City]] and the first [[Unova]] [[Striaton Gym|Gym]], however Ash is finding himself followed by {{an|Iris}}, the young girl he met a couple of days earlier.

Iris suggests to Ash that Oshawott wants to travel with him, and Ash agrees as thanks for saving Pikachu and Axew from {{TRT}}. Ash throws a {{i|Poké Ball}} which hits Oshawott on the head and flies high into the sky... where it ultimately fails to react to the attempted catch.

Ash throws a {{i|Poké Ball}} which hits Oshawott on the head and flies high into the sky... where it ultimately fails to react to the attempted catch. Ash realizes this isn't just any Oshawott, but the same {{pkmn2|first partner}} Oshawott from [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab and since he's already registered to a Poké Ball, he can't be caught by any {{pkmn|Trainer}}. At a nearby store, Ash calls Professor Juniper, and the Professor is very relieved to hear that Oshawott is safe. She agrees that Ash can take care of Oshawott and transfers his Poké Ball to him, but warns him to keep his eyes on Oshawott due to his tendency to run off. Ash ends the call and prepares to recall Oshawott, but the Sea Otter Pokémon has—as Professor Juniper warned—run away somewhere, leaving Ash and Iris to begin searching for him. | ||
Unfortunately, the search doesn't get very far as the two fall into a pitfall trap that was in the road. They look up and see a young boy named [[Dan]], who explains that trap was dug by a {{p|Sandile}}. At the same time, the Rocket trio falls down a similar pitfall and encounter a Sandile wearing sunglasses. Dan has helped Ash and Iris out of the pitfall with a rope and explains that he is helping his [[Dan's father|father]] run a spa resort hotel, although their spa isn't open currently to due the Sandile. Their special attraction feature is a natural hot sand pit, where guests are given a sand bath by covering them with a layer of sand. There is a flashback to explain that the Sandile wearing sunglasses appeared one day and made the rest of the (usually peaceful) Sandile act irrationally. | Unfortunately, the search doesn't get very far as the two fall into a pitfall trap that was in the road.
