The source of the chants turns out to be a group of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in the midst of an intense workout. Ash and friends watch as the leader of the exercising group, [[Rocky]], shouts encouragement to his friends. He approaches the group and introduces himself. Brock asks about any nearby shops nearby, though Rocky replies that there are none. Rocky explains his gym’s philosophy: when Trainers work on improving their strength, it inspires their Pokémon to do the same and thereby become stronger in battle. Seeing as the Mossdeep ferry will be some time away, Rocky invites the group to workout. The boys are all keen, though {{an|May}} decides to sit out of the sweat session. Meowth suggests they all do some training, sharing his [[Boss fantasy|vision]] of a paranoid Giovanni being comforted by the presence of a noticeably bulked-up Jessie, [[James]], and Meowth as his bodyguards. James is fired up, believing that physical weakness is a big reason they keep losing to the [[twerp]]s and have yet to capture {{AP|Pikachu}}, much to his teammates dismay. Suddenly, one of the exercisers, {{OBP|Randy|AG096}}, and asks if they want to join the training program with the others, and James immediately takes up his offer. | The source of the chants turns out to be a group of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in the midst of an intense workout.

Meanwhile, Max tries to lift a steel [[Poké Ball]] weight, but struggles to even get it off the ground. May has decided to join in, and is even enjoying herself as she pedals an exercise bike and learns the importance of good footwork in battle. Rocky has assigned Ash and Pikachu to the mechanized rope swing. As the pair try to swap ropes, the task proves more difficult than anticipated. Nearby, Team Rocket | Meanwhile, Max tries to lift a steel [[Poké Ball]] weight, but struggles to even get it off the ground. May has decided to join in, and is even enjoying herself as she pedals an exercise bike and learns the importance of good footwork in battle. Rocky has assigned Ash and Pikachu to the mechanized rope swing. As the pair try to swap ropes, the task proves more difficult than anticipated. Nearby, Team Rocket is happily running on treadmills. They hesitate when Ash and friends approach, but ignore them and continue to run, sticking to their original plan. Ash warns Rocky that Team Rocket is dangerous, but he replies that they welcome anyone on the island. The group decides to leave them be as Rocky points out that Team Rocket hasn’t done anything yet, and they seem to be content just working out. As Jessie, James, and Meowth talk to themselves on the treadmill, Rocky suddenly challenges Ash to a {{pkmn|battle}}. The other Trainers boast that Rocky is the strongest Trainer on the island, but that only makes Ash more intrigued. May and the others want to watch, of course, but Rocky says that his camp has a rule prohibiting spectators. Ash and Rocky leave for their battle, and the other Trainers approach May and the others to continue training. Meanwhile, on the treadmill, Meowth figures that maybe this battle will be their chance to get Pikachu, since he will eventually be tired out. However, Jessie and James aren’t paying attention, instead focusing on keeping up their rhythm. | ||
Some distance away, Ash and Rocky take their positions atop two rocks. Rocky announces the rules, saying that it will be a [[Double Battle]], and Ash agrees. Rocky sends out a {{p|Walrein}} and a {{p|Quagsire}}, and Ash counters with Pikachu and {{AP|Grovyle}}. Ash starts by having Pikachu fire a {{m|Thunderbolt}} at Walrein, but Rocky has Quagsire step in front of Walrein and take the attack. Ash and Pikachu thought they were off to a good start, but Quagsire emerges unscathed from the attack. Ash remembers that Quagsire is part {{type|Ground}}, so electricity won't work on it. Rocky orders an {{m|Ice Ball}} from Walrein. Pikachu and Grovyle both dodge the [[move]] using {{m|Quick Attack}}. Pikachu aims an {{m|Iron Tail}} at Walrein, and Grovyle lunges towards Quagsire for a {{m|Leaf Blade}}, but their opponents switch positions and neither attack does much damage. In fact, Pikachu and Grovyle actually appear to take some recoil. Walrein charges up another Ice Ball, and Ash tries Pikachu’s Thunderbolt again, but Quagsire gets in the way once more. Walrein completes its attack, and the larger Ice Ball scores a direct hit on both of Ash’s Pokémon. It seems that Rocky's strategy has been to train Quagsire to be adept at blocking moves, while Walrein serves as the powerhouse. Ash tells Grovyle to use {{m|Bullet Seed}}, but Quagsire and Walrein take cover behind some rocks. Rocky orders another Ice Ball from Walrein. Ash orders Grovyle and Pikachu to attack the ball with Iron Tail and Leaf Blade, but they aren’t quick enough, and the Ice Ball strikes them again. | Some distance away, Ash and Rocky take their positions atop two rocks.

Meanwhile, at the battle, Ash has no idea what to do next, but then he notices the time it takes for Walrein to charge its Ice Ball is longer the bigger the Ice Ball is, as Pikachu and Grovyle dodge another one. He gets an idea. Rocky orders another Ice Ball, and Walrein charges it up. Ash quickly tells Pikachu to hit Walrein with Thunderbolt. As expected, Quagsire takes the attack. It has to stay in one place to do so, so Ash takes advantage of that and has Grovyle Leaf Blade it, for a powerful hit. Pikachu jumps on Grovyle’s head leaf, and Grovyle throws him towards Walrein. From the air, Pikachu releases another Thunderbolt, scoring a direct hit this time. Quagsire and Walrein both [[fainting|faint]], and Pikachu and Grovyle are the winners. Rocky [[recall]]s his Pokémon, thanks them for a good battle, and congratulates Ash, complimenting him on his strategy. Rocky admits that he has learned a lot from the battle, and considers the idea of leaving Muscle Island to challenge other Trainers on a journey of his own. Brock and the others show up, curious about the match, and they're glad to hear Ash won. Rocky points them towards the ferry they need to take. | Meanwhile, at the battle, Ash has no idea what to do next, but then he notices the time it takes for Walrein to charge its Ice Ball is longer the bigger the Ice Ball is, as Pikachu and Grovyle dodge another one.

By sunset, Ash and friends are on a ferry bound for Mossdeep City with Ash excited for his [[Mossdeep Gym|seventh Gym battle]]. However Team Rocket | By sunset, Ash and friends are on a ferry bound for Mossdeep City with Ash excited for his [[Mossdeep Gym|seventh Gym battle]]. However Team Rocket is also on the boat, [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] as sailors. James watches the twerps while Jessie and Meowth complain about their sore muscles. James says that now that they’re stronger from their physical training, this is their chance to steal Pikachu. They approach the twerps, and say that they’re not allowed to have any Pokémon on board the ferry and that they'll take Pikachu for "safe-keeping". James reaches for Pikachu, but Ash instinctively grabs James’s arm, as Pikachu cries out. Ash isn't about to just hand Pikachu over to anyone and demands to know who they are, and Jessie and James start their {{motto}}. Meowth interrupts to avoid their cover being blown, but his teammates realize there’s no point in keeping the disguises on. Jessie nets Pikachu, but Ash grabs him, and it turns into an all-out tug-of-war between the two sides, both sides desperately trying to keep hold of Pikachu. The struggle causes Pikachu to become distressed, and he lets out a massive Thunderbolt, which successfully blasts Team Rocket off. However, he also inadvertently sends Ash and the others overboard and stranded in the middle of the ocean as the ferry continues moving without them. | ||
