When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were on their way to [[Mossdeep City]], they arrived onto [[Muscle Island]] and met Rocky who made his home there. Rocky enjoys exercising, and uses Pokémon to help him. While his friends on the island were exercising, he shouted some encouragement to them. He introduced himself to the group and asked Ash about his journey. He showed the group around to the island where the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s there were exercising. Rocky invited them to join along in which they agree, except for {{an|May}}, but May joined them later on. Rocky assigned Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}} to another mechanism and {{an|Brock}} watched on.

However, Ash was able to deduce that the speed of the Ice Ball slowed down every turn. Using it to his advantage, he was able to defeat Rocky.
