| − | The episode begins in the middle of a forest on a peaceful day, with [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ash_Ketchum Ash] and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ash%27s_friends his friends] preparing for a delicious meal cooked by [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Brock_(anime) Brock]. While [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Dawn_(anime) Dawn] is laying plates on the table, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ash%27s_Aipom Aipom] happily picks tasty oranges from the trees above. Dawn below, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Dawn%27s_Piplup Piplup] calls up to Aipom, wanting an orange itself. Aipom sticks its tongue out at the young Pokémon however, and jumps up and down. But while doing so, it gets too excited and bangs its head on a branch above it and drops the orange out of its tail hand in shock and into the mouth of a hungry Piplup. Aipom drops down to the ground and starts to shout at Piplup for eating its orange, but Piplup doesn't seem interested. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ash%27s_Turtwig Turtwig] then runs over and tries to break up the argument between the Pokémon, but is quickly slapped away by Aipom and Piplup who doesn't want someone interfering in their quarrel. Aipom decides to take the fight to another level, and fires off a [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Swift_(move) Swift] attack at Piplup, who responds with a [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/BubbleBeam_(move) BubbleBeam] attack. The two attacks collide and explode, which bring Ash and Dawn's attention to the squabble. |
||
| + | The heroes are about to have lunch. Everyone is working to get everything set. Aipom takes a fruit and taunts Piplup, who wants it. Suddenly, Aipom jumps and smacks its head to a branch and releases the fruit and Piplup eats it. Aipom comes down and fights with Piplup. Turtwig and Bonsly come to calm them down, but with no effect, as Turtwig gets bashed. Aipom uses Swift and Piplup uses BubbleBeam. The heroes hear the battle and come to calm everyone down. Turtwig goes to attempt once more to settle everyone, but gets attacked by Aipom's Focus Punch and Piplup's Peck. Turtwig uses Razor Leaf to finally calm them down. Ash thanks Turtwig, who gnaws on Ash's head. Suddenly and unexpectedly, Paul appears. |
||
| + | Paul tells them he was training for [[Oreburgh City]]'s Gym. He sees Ash's new Pokémon, Turtwig. Paul does not think Turtwig is much of a Pokémon and Ash thinks they should prove this by battling. Paul sends Chimchar and Ash his Turtwig. Turtwig starts by tackling, but Chimchar jumps and uses Scratch, hitting Turtwig even though Ash orders it to evade. Turtwig uses Razor Leaf, but misses. Chimchar attacks Turtwig with Ember, despite Ash ordering Turtwig to evade. Turtwig uses Synthesis on itself and renews its energy. Chimchar charges with Flame Wheel and hits Turtwig. Turtwig stands up and goes to use Bite, but gets captured by Team Rocket. |
||
| − | The two continue their fight, but [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ash_Ketchum Ash], Dawn and Brock run over and Ash demands that they stop. Just then, Turtwig, angry at being slapped away before, jumps into the fray but is smacked again by Aipom's [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Focus_Punch_(move) Focus Punch] attack and Piplup's [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Peck_(move) Peck]. Not impressed by this, Turtwig lets out a roar and attacks both Pokémon with a furious [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Razor_Leaf_(move) Razor Leaf] attack. At this, both Piplup and Aipom stop bickering as Turtwig stands proudly between them. Ash thanks his Pokémon for breaking them up, and Turtwig bites onto his head affectionately. Ash laughs, and tries to shake Turtwig off, but is stopped when a voice from behind him calls out. Turning around, Ash is shocked to see the Trainer he had not long ago battled, Paul. The young Trainer nods, and then smirks at Ash's reaction. |
||
| + | Team Rocket recites their motto, but get interrupted by Chimchar's Ember. They are confused that they captured Turtwig and not Pikachu, while Paul calls them pathetic. They are furious and James sends Carnivine. It uses Bullet Seed, but it gets countered by Chimchar's Ember. Turtwig cuts the net by Razor Leaf and Ash gets it, while Pikachu blasts them off using Thunderbolt. The explosion caused Paul, Chimchar, Ash and Turtwig to fall. While Paul and Chimchar swiftly got their balance, Ash and Turtwig fall down in the water. Brock and Dawn tell Ash to meet them on another side of the forest. Paul leaves and Ash goes after him. Ash tells him they could go together, but Paul calls it a stupid idea and leaves, telling Ash to watch out for Stantler. Brock shows Dawn the map and she is surprised they are at Bewilder forest. |
||
| − | The two exchange taunts, and Ash is again shocked to hear that Paul is also heading for the nearby Gym. Paul then asks if that Turtwig is his, and Ash says that he caught it recently. Paul smirks, not looking impressed. Ash becomes angry at Paul's arrogance, and demands a Pokémon battle from him. Paul agrees, pulling a Poké Ball from his belt and calls out his [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Paul%27s_Chimchar Chimchar]. Dawn seems worried, as Chimchar is a Fire type, while Turtwig is a Grass type. Ash doesn't care about type however, saying that he'll prove his Pokémon can withstand a type disadvantage. After some battle preparations, Dawn and Brock along with their Pokémon sit down on a nearby log to watch the battle. Paul wonders if Ash will back out now, but Ash isn't about to back down and starts the battle off by ordering a Tackle. |
||
| + | Ash and Turtwig go to meet with Dawn and Brock and spot a Stantler. Suddenly, Stantler's horns glow, and Ash and Turtwig are affected by this. They find themselves on a plane and when they gain their consciousness, they find themselves where they fell. Ash and Turtwig go down the path and see a Stantler, whose antlers glow. They find themselves in a desert and Ash recalls that it must be the effect the Pokédex told him. Ash orders Turtwig to gnaw at his head and it does, so they regain their consciousness. Now they find a bunch of them, so Ash now knows they shouldn't look at their antlers, but they do. Turtwig and Ash find themselves on clouds. Paul sees this and sends Chimchar, who scares the Stantler off with Ember. Ash and Turtwig wake up and see Paul. |
||
| − | Turtwig runs towards Chimchar, who jumps up on Paul's command and stops right in front of Turtwig before using a [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Scratch_(move) Scratch] attack. Ash is shocked at the fire monkey's speed, but dismisses it and tells Turtwig to use Razor Leaf. Turtwig does so, but Chimchar somersaults backwards to avoid the attack which impresses Dawn. Paul then orders Chimchar to use [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ember_(move) Ember], which Ash tells his Pokémon to avoid. However, Turtwig just stands there and takes the attack, and is sent flying back. Ash asks what's wrong with Turtwig, wondering why his Pokémon didn't dodge any of the attacks it told it to. Turtwig only shakes its head however, and Ash continues to look confused. Noticing the sun, Ash has an idea and tells Turtwig to use [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Synthesis_(move) Synthesis]. Dawn wonders what this does, and Brock explains that Turtwig is healing itself using the power of sunlight. |
||
| + | Ash and Turtwig move aside as a Stantler goes to battle. Chimchar engulfs Stantler by using Flame Wheel. Paul throws his Poké Ball and catches Stantler. Ash thanks Paul, but Paul sees the Stantler knows Tackle and releases it. Ash tells it could have been his friend, but Paul leaves, calling that friends are useless. Dawn tells Brock Stantler confuse people, so they shouldn't look at them, so they go in the forest. Ash got an apple for Turtwig. Turtwig does not want to eat the apple. Ash now knows Turtwig's stubbornness made it unable to dodge at Ash's command. Turtwig begins to feel hungry, so Ash parts the apple and gives one half to it. Turtwig is happy and gnaws on his head. |
||
| − | Paul isn't impressed, and tells Chimchar to use [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Flame_Wheel_(move) Flame Wheel]. His Pokémon does so, leaping up before using the flames in its mouth to surround its whole body in fire and making a blazing wheel. Turtwig again makes no effort to try to avoid the attack, and is engulfed by fire. Chimchar jumps back after smashing into the injured Grass Pokémon, and Ash asks Turtwig if it can continue. Ash tells his Pokémon to attack again, but is stopped by a net fired from the sky. Ash and everyone else looks up to see [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Team_Rocket%27s_mechas Team Rocket's balloon] and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Jessie Jessie], [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/James James] and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Meowth_(Team_Rocket) Meowth] leering down at them. The three start to recite their motto, and just as they are about to say their names, Paul calls out 'Ember'. The two repeat the name, then stop in surprise, wondering who spoke during their motto. Suddenly realizing 'Ember' is an attack, they begin to panic. Chimchar then uses an Ember attack as ordered, and Jessie, James and Meowth dance around in pain in their balloon as they are burnt. |
||
| + | Ash sees Stantler, so he and Turtwig run away with their eyes covered. They bump in a tree and Beedrill come from nearby bushes, so they run away. Ash sees Dawn and Brock and they run with him as well. Suddenly, Ash bumps into an Ursaring, who scares the Beedrill away. Turtwig bites (aggressively) on Ursaring's head. Ash tries to stop it, but gets knocked away with Turtwig. Ursaring goes to attack Ash, but Turtwig tackles it. Ursaring attacks Turtwig, but misses. Pikachu uses Iron Tail and Turtwig uses Razor Leaf, hitting Ursaring and causing the Hibernator Pokémon damage. Ursaring uses Hyper Beam, so the heroes run away. Ursaring charges, but gets attacked by Chimchar's Flame Wheel. Paul throws his Poké Ball and catches Ursaring. |
||
| − | After the flames die out, James wonders who Paul is, before Ash tells them to give his Turtwig back. Jessie wonders what he's talking about, and the three look down and are shocked to find that instead of grabbing Pikachu they got Turtwig instead. Paul says that he has no idea who they are, and Jessie demands that James tell him. James then sends out Carnivine, eager to silence the arrogant young Trainer. Carnivine isn't too interested in a battle however, and happily chomps down on James' head before James tells it to use [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bullet_Seed_(move) Bullet Seed]. Happy at its fill, Carnivine jumps up and fires off the attack as told. Ash tells Paul to get out of the way, but Paul refuses to move and orders Chimchar to use Ember to deflect the attack. Chimchar does so, and Ash tells Turtwig to use Razor Leaf to break out of the net. Ash runs and grabs the falling Turtwig, then tells Pikachu to use [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Thunderbolt_(move) Thunderbolt] to get rid of [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Team_Rocket_trio Team Rocket]. The electric attack hits the balloon, causing it to explode and Team Rocket blasting off again. |
||
| + | Paul decides to keep this Ursaring and tells Ash he still has that lame Turtwig. Ash tells him it'll get more powerful over the time. Ash wants a battle to prove it, but Paul is not interested. Ash taunts Paul by telling he is scared, so Paul gives him the battle. Turtwig charges by tackling, but Chimchar jumps and goes to Scratch Turtwig, but misses. Turtwig uses Razor Leaf, but gets countered by Ember. Turtwig goes to use Bite, but Chimchar digs. Chimchar emerges and scratches Turtwig. Turtwig comes down and goes to use Bite again, however Chimchar digs again. Chimchar emerges and scratches it once more. |
||
| − | The force of the explosion however sends Ash, Paul and Chimchar over the edge of the cliff they were fighting on. Paul remains focused as they fall however, landing on a protruding tree and then jumping down from branch to branch. While Paul does this however, Ash continues to fall, grabbing hold of Turtwig and landing head first into the pool of water below. Brock and Dawn call down to Ash, asking if he's okay, and Ash waves his arms around, telling them that he is and for them not to worry. Ash hears a sound behind him, and looks over to see Paul calling Chimchar back into its Poké Ball. The young Trainer than starts to walk into the forest, with Ash calling to him to no avail. Ash decides to try to take the opportunity to befriend Paul, but Paul makes it clear that he has no intention of being nice to, or cooperating with Ash. He then continues to walk, and Ash tries to follow. |
||
| + | Turtwig uses Razor Leaf at the holes and Chimchar is hit, so it retaliates with Ember. Turtwig goes in the holes, though Chimchar uses Ember at the hole and burns Turtwig. Turtwig uses Synthesis on itself and heals. Chimchar uses Flame Wheel, though Turtwig goes back in the hole. Chimchar goes to use Ember, but gets hit by Turtwig's Bite. Chimchar goes in the hole and attacks with Flame Wheel, hurting Turtwig. Turtwig charges to Tackle, but gets defeated by Chimchar's Flame Wheel. Ash falls to his knees and apologizes to Turtwig for letting it down. Brock and Dawn try to cheer him up, but Paul is indifferent and wouldn't say anything nice to a loser. Paul leaves and Ash, angry at what Paul said, makes a promise that his rival will lose the next time they have a battle. |
||
| − | Elsewhere, Dawn is asking Brock how they can find Ash again. Brock checks inside his Pokémon handbook, which contains a map of the surrounding area. Brock reads out the forest name, and Dawn looks worried as she's heard of it somewhere before... and it wasn't good. Back with Ash, we find him and Turtwig walking alone, with Paul gone off by himself. Ash looks around, wondering where the exit to this forest is. At that, a Stantler pops its head of some nearby bushes and stares hard at him while Ash checks the Pokémon on his Pokédex. After the Pokédex scan is complete, Ash smiles at Stantler, but is shocked to see its antlers light up. |

||
| − | The light glowing from them entrances Ash and Turtwig, and before he knows it, Ash finds himself in a huge empty field. Void of color and the wind blowing hard, Ash and Turtwig quickly become depressed and wonder how in the world they got there. Deciding to keep on walking to try to get out, Ash walks toward but soon finds himself right back at the pond that he and Turtwig fell into before Paul walked off by himself. Ash stares at the pool of water in shock, wondering how he could have come back here. He and Turtwig then walk back into the forest, only to be stopped by the Stantler again, who repeats what appears to be a [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hypnosis_(move) Hypnosis] attack which fools people into seeing things which aren't there. |

||
| − | This time, Ash and Turtwig are tricked into thinking that they are in the middle of a hot and vast desert. After some thinking, Ash realizes what is going on: The desert isn't real, and if he keeps on walking, he'll just be tricked again and end up right back where he started. The only way to get out of it will be for pain to snap him out, and so Ash tells Turtwig to bite his head. Turtwig does so, and the pain rips Ash out of the delusion and back into the forest. Ash soon finds that maybe it was safe in the illusion desert, as not one, but many Stantler appear and use their Hypnosis attack on Ash at the same time. This time Ash finds himself flying through the air happily with Turtwig by his side. In reality, Ash and Turtwig are flailing around the floor in deluded joy. Watching all of this is Paul, who isn't impressed by Ash being so easily manipulated by the Pokémon. |

||
| − | Paul then calls out his Chimchar, and orders it to use Ember on the Stantler surrounding Ash. The fire balls fly overhead, and the Stantler run off in fear leaving Ash to slowly come out of his fantasy world. Ash is about to thank Paul for saving him, struggling as he didn't think Paul would have bothered after all the arguments the two had had recently. Just then however, one of the Stantler appears and stares angrily at Paul for just attacking it. Paul isn't impressed, and tells his Chimchar to use Flame Wheel. Chimchar does so, rolling into a flaming ball and slamming hard into Stantler and knocking it back. As the Pokémon screams in pain, Paul throws a Poké Ball and catches it. Ash thanks Paul for helping him, but Paul doesn't appear interested as he examines the Poké Ball containing Stantler. The young boy then throws the Poké Ball into the air and releases Stantler. Ash asks why he released such a cool Pokémon, and Paul tells him that it was too weak for his needs. |

| − | Outside the forest, Dawn explains to Brock what she had heard about the forest. Brock says that they should go in and look for Ash, regardless of the danger. Dawn agrees, and the two enter along with Pikachu and Piplup. Back inside, Ash is trying to get Turtwig to eat an apple that he picked from a tree. Turtwig coolly tries to get Ash to eat it himself, but a stomach rumble makes them both think otherwise. Ash splits the apple in half and offers a piece to Turtwig. The two sit down and relax for a short while, eating their halves of the apple while Ash talks to Turtwig about them both being friends. Turtwig nods and agrees, but their talk is disturbed by another Stantler that appears from the bushes. Ash covers his eyes quickly, and runs in the opposite direction before slamming into a tree and causing a whole swarm of Beedrill. The Beedrill start to chase him, but during the chase Ash is spotted by Brock and Dawn who wave to him happily. |

| − | They both soon notice the Beedrill and along with Ash, run for their lives. Ash is soon stopped however, when he bumps into a large Ursaring. Although this scares the Beedrill away, Ash finds himself cowering in the shadow of a very angry bear. Turtwig isn't about to let Ursaring hurt its master however, and jumps up and bites Ursaring's head as Ursaring tries to shake the young Grass-type Pokémon off. It manages to do so, but just as Ursaring is about to attack Ash himself, Turtwig launches itself and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Headbutt_(move) Headbutts] the attacking Pokémon. Ash smiles and thanks Turtwig for saving him. He then tells Pikachu to use Iron Tail and for Turtwig to use Razor Leaf. |

| − | The two Pokémon do so, and Ash compliments them on their awesome combination of attacks. This causes Ursaring to become even more frustrated. The angry Pokémon lets out an loud roar and fires a [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hyper_Beam_(move) Hyper Beam] into the air, before chasing Ash, Dawn, Brock and their Pokémon out of the forest as it stampedes behind them. Ash then notices Paul on the road in front of them, and they get out of the way as Paul tells Chimchar to use Flame Wheel to knock out Ursaring. Once again, Paul catches the Pokémon, and Dawn congratulates him. Ash isn't impressed however, and tells her that even though he caught it, he probably won't keep it. Paul scans the Poké Ball however, and liking what he sees, puts Ursaring's ball on his belt after concluding that the Pokémon is good enough to meet his standards. After a brief conversation, Paul says that they should have another Pokémon battle. Ash wonders what Pokémon Paul will use, and both Trainers get into their positions. Ash tells Turtwig to use [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Tackle_(move) Tackle], and Paul, using Chimchar, tells it to use [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Scratch_(move) Scratch]. This time however, when Ash tells Turtwig to dodge, Turtwig does so, making Chimchar's attack miss. |

| − | Dawn is surprised at Turtwig's actions, before Ash tells Turtwig to use Razor Leaf. Turtwig does so, and Chimchar counters with Ember. Both attacks produce a stalemate however, which leads Ash to taking a much more direct approach by telling Turtwig to use [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Tackle_(move) Tackle]. Paul remains cool however, and tells Chimchar to use [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Dig_(move) Dig] to dodge the attack. Chimchar digs underground, dodging Tackle and remaining safe. As everyone tries to work out where Chimchar will appear, Chimchar emerges from underground and lets loose a sneak attack at Turtwig. Ash tells Turtwig to keep calm and use Quick Attack, but Paul just responds with another Dig attack. The monkey then pops out of one after another teasing Turtwig in one hole, shaking its butt out of another and yells out of another, mocking the poor Grass Pokémon and confusing it. Chimchar sees this, and jumps out behind Turtwig again and attacks it with its claws. Ash grits his teeth, but remains confident as he tells Turtwig to use Razor Leaf on Chimchar's holes. The attack enters the holes, flushing Chimchar out as it clutches itself painfully. |

| − | Paul isn't impressed, and tells his Pokémon to use Ember. The attack is avoided however, as Ash tells Turtwig to jump into one of the holes to dodge. Ash asks Paul how that move was, but Paul just laughs and says that he's already thought of a way to deal with it. Paul tells Chimchar to use Ember on the holes to flush Turtwig out, just as Ash just did to his Pokémon. Turtwig is flung out of the hole, engulfed in flame and Dawn looks on in dismay and Brock says that the damage to Turtwig is doubled because of the type disadvantage. Ash tells Turtwig to use Synthesis to heal itself however, which annoys Paul who decides to finish off the battle quickly by ordering a Flame Wheel attack. Chimchar rolls quickly towards Turtwig, but Ash tells Turtwig to stand there. Turtwig is shocked, and wonders why its Trainer didn't tell it to dodge. Ash tells it to trust him, and at the last moment, Ash tells Turtwig to jump down the hole in front of it, which it does, avoiding the attack and catching Chimchar by surprise. |

| − | As the monkey tries to find Turtwig, Ash tells his Pokémon to use Tackle, and then to bite Chimchar. Turtwig does so, and Chimchar flails around madly trying to shake the Grass Pokémon off. Paul decides to take the battle underground, and tells Chimchar to take it and Turtwig into one of the holes with it. Ash is shocked, and Paul smiles at his reaction and tells Chimchar to use Flame Wheel. Flames burst out of the ground's holes, and both Pokémon are thrust above ground, engulfed in fire. Ash asks if Turtwig is okay, and his gutsy Pokémon manages to get back up. Ash tells Turtwig to use Tackle, and Paul tells Chimchar to use Flame Wheel. The two Pokémon collide, but when the smoke clears, Chimchar is the one left standing. Ash falls to his knees and apologizes to Turtwig, before thanking it for putting up such a great fight. Chimchar dances happily and Paul scolds it for doing so. Ash calls out to Paul, but Paul doesn't care about anything anyone as weak as Ash wants to say, and walks off. |

Different Strokes for Different Blokes! (Japanese: 迷いの森！シンジふたたび！！, Hepburn: The Forest of Hesitation! It's Paul Again!!) is the 6th episode of Pocket Monsters: Diamond and Pearl, and Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl of Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl.
Synopsis
When Ash runs into his new rival Paul, Ash wants a rematch—and a chance to show off his new Turtwig! The battle takes an unexpected turn when Turtwig disobeys Ash's orders, and is then accidentally kidnapped by Team Rocket during their latest attempt to grab Pikachu. Naturally our heroes thwart Team Rocket's plans, but Ash and Paul are knocked off a cliff in the process. Ash tells Dawn and Brock to meet him on the other side of the surrounding forest. He's ready to team up Paul to get out of the woods together, but Paul isn't interested and walks away.
Ash soon discovers that the forest is full of Stantler, and he keeps getting lost in the illusions created by their antlers. On the bright side, he and Turtwig have a chance to spend some time together reconciling their differences. Eventually they find their friends again, along with the inevitable swam of Beedrill. If that wasn't enough, our heroes are then chased out of the forest by a grouchy Ursaring. Of all people, it's Paul who comes to the rescue and catches Ursaring in the process.
Now Paul and Ash are free to finish their interrupted battle. Ash and Turtwig show off their new and improved teamwork, but even that just isn't enough to beat Paul and his Chimchar. Paul walks away, smug in his victory, and now Ash is more determined than ever to beat him the next time they meet![1]
Episode plot
The heroes are about to have lunch. Everyone is working to get everything set. Aipom takes a fruit and taunts Piplup, who wants it. Suddenly, Aipom jumps and smacks its head to a branch and releases the fruit and Piplup eats it. Aipom comes down and fights with Piplup. Turtwig and Bonsly come to calm them down, but with no effect, as Turtwig gets bashed. Aipom uses Swift and Piplup uses BubbleBeam. The heroes hear the battle and come to calm everyone down. Turtwig goes to attempt once more to settle everyone, but gets attacked by Aipom's Focus Punch and Piplup's Peck. Turtwig uses Razor Leaf to finally calm them down. Ash thanks Turtwig, who gnaws on Ash's head. Suddenly and unexpectedly, Paul appears.
Paul tells them he was training for Oreburgh City's Gym. He sees Ash's new Pokémon, Turtwig. Paul does not think Turtwig is much of a Pokémon and Ash thinks they should prove this by battling. Paul sends Chimchar and Ash his Turtwig. Turtwig starts by tackling, but Chimchar jumps and uses Scratch, hitting Turtwig even though Ash orders it to evade. Turtwig uses Razor Leaf, but misses. Chimchar attacks Turtwig with Ember, despite Ash ordering Turtwig to evade. Turtwig uses Synthesis on itself and renews its energy. Chimchar charges with Flame Wheel and hits Turtwig. Turtwig stands up and goes to use Bite, but gets captured by Team Rocket.
Team Rocket recites their motto, but get interrupted by Chimchar's Ember. They are confused that they captured Turtwig and not Pikachu, while Paul calls them pathetic. They are furious and James sends Carnivine. It uses Bullet Seed, but it gets countered by Chimchar's Ember. Turtwig cuts the net by Razor Leaf and Ash gets it, while Pikachu blasts them off using Thunderbolt. The explosion caused Paul, Chimchar, Ash and Turtwig to fall. While Paul and Chimchar swiftly got their balance, Ash and Turtwig fall down in the water. Brock and Dawn tell Ash to meet them on another side of the forest. Paul leaves and Ash goes after him. Ash tells him they could go together, but Paul calls it a stupid idea and leaves, telling Ash to watch out for Stantler. Brock shows Dawn the map and she is surprised they are at Bewilder forest.
Ash and Turtwig go to meet with Dawn and Brock and spot a Stantler. Suddenly, Stantler's horns glow, and Ash and Turtwig are affected by this. They find themselves on a plane and when they gain their consciousness, they find themselves where they fell. Ash and Turtwig go down the path and see a Stantler, whose antlers glow. They find themselves in a desert and Ash recalls that it must be the effect the Pokédex told him. Ash orders Turtwig to gnaw at his head and it does, so they regain their consciousness. Now they find a bunch of them, so Ash now knows they shouldn't look at their antlers, but they do. Turtwig and Ash find themselves on clouds. Paul sees this and sends Chimchar, who scares the Stantler off with Ember. Ash and Turtwig wake up and see Paul.
Ash and Turtwig move aside as a Stantler goes to battle. Chimchar engulfs Stantler by using Flame Wheel. Paul throws his Poké Ball and catches Stantler. Ash thanks Paul, but Paul sees the Stantler knows Tackle and releases it. Ash tells it could have been his friend, but Paul leaves, calling that friends are useless. Dawn tells Brock Stantler confuse people, so they shouldn't look at them, so they go in the forest. Ash got an apple for Turtwig. Turtwig does not want to eat the apple. Ash now knows Turtwig's stubbornness made it unable to dodge at Ash's command. Turtwig begins to feel hungry, so Ash parts the apple and gives one half to it. Turtwig is happy and gnaws on his head.
Ash sees Stantler, so he and Turtwig run away with their eyes covered. They bump in a tree and Beedrill come from nearby bushes, so they run away. Ash sees Dawn and Brock and they run with him as well. Suddenly, Ash bumps into an Ursaring, who scares the Beedrill away. Turtwig bites (aggressively) on Ursaring's head. Ash tries to stop it, but gets knocked away with Turtwig. Ursaring goes to attack Ash, but Turtwig tackles it. Ursaring attacks Turtwig, but misses. Pikachu uses Iron Tail and Turtwig uses Razor Leaf, hitting Ursaring and causing the Hibernator Pokémon damage. Ursaring uses Hyper Beam, so the heroes run away. Ursaring charges, but gets attacked by Chimchar's Flame Wheel. Paul throws his Poké Ball and catches Ursaring.
Paul decides to keep this Ursaring and tells Ash he still has that lame Turtwig. Ash tells him it'll get more powerful over the time. Ash wants a battle to prove it, but Paul is not interested. Ash taunts Paul by telling he is scared, so Paul gives him the battle. Turtwig charges by tackling, but Chimchar jumps and goes to Scratch Turtwig, but misses. Turtwig uses Razor Leaf, but gets countered by Ember. Turtwig goes to use Bite, but Chimchar digs. Chimchar emerges and scratches Turtwig. Turtwig comes down and goes to use Bite again, however Chimchar digs again. Chimchar emerges and scratches it once more.
Turtwig uses Razor Leaf at the holes and Chimchar is hit, so it retaliates with Ember. Turtwig goes in the holes, though Chimchar uses Ember at the hole and burns Turtwig. Turtwig uses Synthesis on itself and heals. Chimchar uses Flame Wheel, though Turtwig goes back in the hole. Chimchar goes to use Ember, but gets hit by Turtwig's Bite. Chimchar goes in the hole and attacks with Flame Wheel, hurting Turtwig. Turtwig charges to Tackle, but gets defeated by Chimchar's Flame Wheel. Ash falls to his knees and apologizes to Turtwig for letting it down. Brock and Dawn try to cheer him up, but Paul is indifferent and wouldn't say anything nice to a loser. Paul leaves and Ash, angry at what Paul said, makes a promise that his rival will lose the next time they have a battle.
