Following the pokémon contest, Ash and friends decide to take a break. While they rest, they decide to have a tag battle since Lyra and Khoury have to return to Johto soon. However, before that happens Team Rocket shows up and steals Pikachu and Piplup, putting their plans on hold.

The time for the Lilypad Pokémon Contest has finally arrived. Dawn is excited for the contest since she still only needs one more ribbon in order to get into the Grand Festival. Meanwhile, when Jessie gets sick, James takes her place in the contest. Who will win the contest?

While on the way to the Dawn’s contest, Ash and friends encounter a wild Gible, a very rare Dragon-Type Pokémon. Ash and Khoury are both interested in capturing one, and they both go after it. Who will catch Gible?
