| As {{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} leave the [[Pokémon Center]], Ash bumps into a kid holding a {{p|Growlithe}} in his hands. He warns them to not go near a {{pkmn|Trainer}} by this one bridge, and once he leaves, Ash decides to go anyway. As the group is discussing which Pokémon the Trainer might use, [[Team Rocket]] overhears their conversation and decides to snag the Pokémon when they are weak in the {{pkmn|battle}}. Once they reach the destination, {{an|Misty}} spots someone. It turns out that the Trainer is a girl, much to {{an|Brock}}'s excitement. He does his usual girl technique, and she reveals that her name is [[Miki]], but instead she decides to battle him. She tells Brock to send out a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon. Miki sends out {{p|Skarmory}}, while Brock sends out his only Fire-type Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. The battle starts with Skarmory making a dust cloud in Vulpix's face, while it swoops back into the air. Before Skarmory can attack Vulpix uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, only to miss because of it using {{m|Agility}}. It then turns into an Agility battle when Vulpix tries to run away from Skarmory using Agility. Skarmory then uses {{m|Steel Wing}} on Vulpix, throwing massive damage towards Vulpix, ending the battle. Miki asks Brock if he has any more Fire-type Pokémon, but Ash instead says that he has one, but it might just be to hot for her Skarmory to battle against. The battle starts, and Ash sends out {{AP|Cyndaquil}}. Skarmory attacks with {{m|Fury Attack}} as Cyndaquil dodges. Cyndaquil, still trying to get its flames going gets attacked by {{m|Swift}}. Cyndaquil dodges another Fury Attack using Agility, but gets hit by the last one. Cyndaquil then got its flames going, as it then uses Flamethrower. It misses, and then Cyndaquil gets attacked by Swift. Skarmory swoops down to use Steel Wing, when Cyndaquil uses Flamethrower, missing yet another time. Just as Skarmory is about to attack, cranes shoot down and grab the two Pokémon. Team Rocket recites their motto, when the rage starts between Ash and friends and Team Rocket. Skarmory escapes using Swift on the rope, while Cyndaquil is still held captive. After a long time of running, Skarmory shows up and uses Steel Wing on the balloon. They go blasting off again, while Ash catches Cyndaquil. Later, they arrive at Miki's house to eat food made by Brock. She reveals that she and Skarmory do almost everything together. Ash and Cyndaquil are then seen running up a hill, trying to get stronger. Ash tells Cyndaquil to hit him with the best {{m|Tackle}} attack it can do. After a little while, Ash tells it to get his flame going. After trying several times, he says that Cyndaquil should practice its Agility attack. The scene cuts back to Miki's house, showing the Pokémon eating and same with Miki, Brock, and Misty.Miki says that Ash went out early and she wonders where he went. The scene then cuts back to Ash and Cyndaquil. Ash says that he's really hungry. He then tells Cyndaquil to use Tackle on him again, as it knocks him into an apple tree. He then pulls out an apple, just to find a Beedrill holding on to it. A whole swarm of Beedrills come out of the tree and start chasing after them. Ash then stumbles onto the ground. | | As {{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} leave the [[Pokémon Center]], Ash bumps into a kid holding a {{p|Growlithe}} in his hands.
