On their way to Eucrateak City
Ash and co. come across a large grassy field. They see a Skiploom running
to his trainer. The trainer's name is Eafrom (I think its that, it sounds
like EE-from) and he calls his Skiploom Skippy. They say they are training
for the gym and they challenge Ash to a pokemon battle using grass pokemon.
Ash accepts and the battle begins.
Ash choose Chikorita for the one on one
battle. Skiploom starts by trying a tackle but Chikorita easily counters
and knocks it back. Skiploom then uses double team but Chikorita hits it
with a razor leaf on her third try. Skiploom then trys a leech seed dut
Chikorita knocks the seeds away with vine whip and ends the battle with a
tackle. Misty is mad at Ash for beating Skiploom so bad.
They all head to Eafrom's house and his
parents say how Ash must be an "elite trainer" because of his skill.
Ash gets cocky and Misty gets angry. Ash and co. are invited to stay
the night and they accept. Then they all walk out into the garden.
Ash and co. learn that the best gardeners
are grass pokemon. Ash finds out that Eafrom is competing in a grass
pokemon tournament the next day so he decides to enter too.
It flashes to Team Rocket eating. They
find out about the grass tournament. It is a flyer that says that the
winner gets a trophy and a collection of valuable leaf stones. James
decides to enter with Victreebell and Jesse with Meowth dressed like a Sunflora.
They start training.
It flashes back to Eafrom training with
Skiploom and improving its speed. Misty asks Ash why he's not training and
he says it because its going to be so easy that he doesnt need to train.
It flashes to the tournament the neext day
and all the contestants are ready. Ash is entering with Bulbasaur and
Eafrom with Skiploom. First Ash badly beats a Gloom and then Eafrom
narrowly defeats James and his Victreebell. Then Jesse and Meowth battle
Ash. After Meowth accidently uses scratch Ash uses razor leaf to reveal
Meowth's identity. Bulbasaur vine whips Team Rocket out of sight after
they do their traditional chant.
In the final its Ash vs. Eafrom. Skiploom
starts with a doulble team and Bulbasaurtrys to hit it with razor leaf but can't
hit the real one. All the Skiplooms use leech seed but Bulbasaur hit them
away with a vine whip and the real seed hits the real Skiploom ending the double
team. Bulbasaur starts beating on Skiploom with a barrage of vine whips
and Skiploom finally falls. Eafrom refuses to give up so Bulbasaur comes
in with a take down and out of nowhere Skiploom fires a solar beam that sends
Bulbasaur flying. Skiploom knocks Bulbasaur to the ground with a tackle,
ending the battle.
Brock says that Skiploom must have gonr up
in level during the battles and that's how it knew solar beam. Eafrom
receives his prizes proudly and the episode ends with Ash standing there
smiling.
