After reaching Canalave City, site of Dawn's first contest, the trio met Ash's old friend May and her brother Max. But then, Team Rocket lấy trộm, đánh cắp Blaziken. Elekid fought hard then evolved into Electabuzz. Now, Dawn finds a cửa hàng opened bởi bởi none other than Team Rocket!




"Awesome! I wonder if they have any outfits for the contest!" Dawn exclaimed, as she ran into the shop.
"I have a feeling that Team Rocket is behind this" May said.
"Dawn, wait!" I said. It was no use.
"I can't believe bạn two never got along at the Trainer's Academy. The way bạn two help each other, like true friends." Ash said. We knew it was Team Rocket because of the big red R on the door.
"What do we do now?" I asked.
"I guess, we could go get something to eat." Ash answered.
"I agree, I'm kinda running on empty." I replied.
.................................................. 2 hours later
..................................................
"That was good." I said.
"I agree. Wonder if Dawn is back yet?" Ash added.
"I doubt it, she always takes a long time. It's like she was trying the Battle Frontier hoặc something." I answered.
"You know, I won at the Kanto Battle Frontier." Ash said.
"You did?! Let me see your symbols! Wow, they are so shiny, shinier than the red Gyrados!" I said. Suddenly, Dawn came running at us faster than a charging Rhyhorn!
"Team Rocket lấy trộm, đánh cắp my pokemon!" She said.
"They are worse than they were in Hoenn!" May exclaimed.
"We tried to tell you!" I said.
"Prepare for trouble!" Jessie said.
"Make it dou..." James said, but was interrupted.
"Will bạn two shut up! We all know the motto!" Dawn đã đưa ý kiến angrily.
"I hate being cut off mid-motto! Victreebel, attack!" James said.
"Arbok! Come on out!" Jessie said. Half of James was stuck inside of Victreebel!
"Starly, come out and use Aerial Ace!" Dawn said.
"Nuzleaf! Razor Leaf!" I said. Instead of Razor Leaf, Nuzleaf caused an expanding dark đám mây like thing. Starly absorbed Nuzleaf's new attack and smashed into Team Rocket, sending them flying through the air.
"What was that attack?" I asked.
"It was Dark Pulse." Ash answered.
"Nuzleaf, I can't wait until bạn evolve into Shiftry!" I said.
"If bạn don't mind, with Nuzleaf growing so fast, do bạn mind trading it to me for my Electabuzz? Dawn asked me.
"If bạn give Electabuzz the Electrilizer I gave you, then trade it, it will evolve into an Electivire." May said.

And so, Nuzleaf has learned Dark Pulse! Now, what will happen to Electabuzz and Nuzleaf? Who will win the contest? And what will happen in the Oreburgh Gym Battle?
