Ryan and Bryan refer to themselves as the "Champ Twins", They always battle together in Tag Battles with their Quilava and Croconaw, respectively. Ash and Dawn heard how powerful they were and challenged them using Turtwig and Piplup, respectively. Fortunately for them, Turtwig and Piplup had a hard time working together, as did Ash and Dawn. As a result, the twins won the battle easily, bringing their winning streak to 17.

Proud of their victory, Ryan and Bryan went to look for other Trainers to beat until they found a table with a pile of fruit on it. However, it was a trap set up by Team Rocket in order to steal their Pokémon. When Ash and Dawn came back for a rematch, they told them what happened. It was then that Turtwig and Piplup showed real teamwork and saved Quilava and Croconaw. As thanks, Ryan and Bryan took up the offer of the rematch. The Champ Twins ended up losing to Ash and Dawn, who had since improved their teamwork and attack combinations. The boys were not disappointed by the loss and left determined to build up their battle streak once again.
