Synopsis

Template:Incomplete synopsis With Ash's sixth Gym Badge won, the gang prepare to head to Chocovine Town for Dawn's next Contest. However, the boats are unable to leave because the harbor is blocked by a school of Wailord. They have a picnic to wait out the blockade when a Luxio appears and begins to steal food from the group. Ash chases it into the sewer to find many pokemon living in a chamber in the sewers. However, Dawn and Brock are unable to get to Ash because Team Rocket damaged the manhole. Brock's Happiny tries to pull it off, but to no avail. Dawn then sends out her Mamoswine and bribes it with poffins to open the manhole cover. He charges Dawn and stomps on the ground, eating the poffins as they fall; Happiny catches Dawn. Down in the sewers, Piplup leads the gang to Ash, although they often just miss.

Ash keeps following Luxio until he sees a Wailmer stranded in the sewers. He figures out that the Wailord are probably worried about him, and decide to help him out. With a rope and the help of the other pokemon, they are able to pull Waimer over the first drop, but then are blocked by a huge drop. He enlists the help of all the pokemon in the sewer, making an ice ramp up the drop and pushing Waimur up on a sled. The plan works up the ramp crumbles half-way, and the Waimur is struggling air-born. A Venonat asks Luxio to hit him up, which knocks Waimur the rest of the way up the drop.

Dawn and Brock finally catch up with Ash, but while they are in sight of the exit, there's a mad Swampert protecting its territory. Ash tries to reason with it, but it attacks instead. He is about to have Pikachu attack, but Brock points out that electric attacks won't affect it. Ash calls out Grottle instead, attacking with razor leaf and sneaking by while Swampert is knocked out. Waimur finally gets out of the sewers, but evolves right before he gets past a bridge. As a Wailord, he's much too big to fit under the bridge, but thankfully it's a drawbridge. Using Pikachu, Luxio and Pachirisu, they try to override the controls to raise the bridge, but they aren't enough alone. To make matters worse, Swampert has recovered and is coming after Wailord angry. Luxio lets out a cry, calling all the sewer pokemon to come and join, despite not being electric types. The bridge raises, Wailord gets out, and the wake of Wailord knocks Swampert back. With the Wailord returne, they all get excited and finally unblock the harbor.
