Synopsis
As Ash and his friends travel to Petalburg City so Ash can obtain his 5th Gym Badge, they decide to take a break and have a picnic. Ash decides to take out all of his Pokémon out of their Poké Balls and introduces the team to his newly evolved Grovyle with all of the team being delighted except for Corphish. While Corphish tries getting fruit for the gang but eventually fails due to his overwhelming power, Grovyle cuts down the fruit and they can happily eat which makes Corphish more jealous of Grovyle. Then all of a sudden comes out a Ludicolo which belongs to a Trainer named Poncho. Poncho, after examining Lombre asks to have a battle. If Ash or any one of them lost, they would have to give Poncho their sandwiches, and if Poncho lost, he would buy them some cheeseburgers. As Poncho chooses his trusty Ludicolo, Ash was probably going to choose Pikachu but Grovyle came wanting to battle, not before Corphish interfering and wanting to battle. In the end Corphish loses but does not admit defeat and runs off. The gang then figures out that they have been praising Grovyle which then causes Corphish to be forgotten and its feelings hurt. Team Rocket then sees Ludicolo, his trainer and Corphish having lunch and have one of their fantasies involving the boss and Ludicolo. Team Rocket captures Poncho and Ludicolo but Corphish saves the two and helps lead Ash and friends find him. In the end they all have a nice lunch and head on over to Peatlburg City where Norman awaits.
