Episode Plot

The day comes to an end, while Max tries to find the Battle Factory on PokeNav. Brock tells they must have taken a wrong turn, while Max tries to convince they must be near. Later, however, they did not find the Battle Factory, and the night is here. Max apologizes himself, so Brock makes a spot for the night. Ash is unamused and wants to get to the battle. May calms him down, pointing at the moon. Soon, they find snow around them, even if it is warm for this time of year. They spot something flying - it is the Snow Bird, Articuno. They do hear a plane nearby - it simply flies near Articuno.

The engine rattles and the gang becomes dirty by the smoke. After that, they don't see the plane nor Articuno. Team Rocket saw this, too, and plan to go to the Battle Factory to catch the Pokémon inside. Meowth thinks Articuno would cool down the boss during hot days. Team Rocket is tempted to catch it, but James reminds them it is a Legendary Pokémon, a one hard to catch. James rallies Jessie and Meowth, so they plan to capture Articuno, Pikachu and the other Pokémon in Battle Factory. Later, the gang encounters the Pokémon Center. Inside, Brock flirts with Nurse Joy, as always, so Max pulls his ear. Ash asks if Nurse Joy knows where Battle Factory is, but Joy tells them to rest first, as tomorrow she'll tell them the location.


Noland introduces Sergio, his apprentice. Noland introduces himself as the man in charge of the Battle Factory - a Factory Head, one of the Frontier Brains. Ash would like to start the battle immediately, so Noland accepts the challenge. Team Rocket spot them, planning to take some parts as well. Sergio calls some Pokémon for the Pokéblocks, so Munchlax comes out to eat the Pokéblocks. May tries to stop it, but Sergio tells he has enough to feed them. Noland tells Ash that he can choose which Pokémon he can battle, so he sees which Pokémon he can battle, but has a difficult choice. Munchlax goes off with more Pokéblocks, so May and Max go to get it. Meowth thinks they need to capture all of the Pokémon, but James thinks greed is what causes their plans to fail. Meowth tells him he has a plan.


Ash goes to send Grovyle, but Team Rocket take his Poké Ball. Next, they take the Battle Factory's Pokémon and fly off, but Noland flies, tackling his plane with theirs. Their plane crashes and Articuno flies down, catching the plane and sending it "flying", as well as using Ice Beam to blast them off. At the end of the day, Ash decides to battle Articuno. He also chooses to battle it with his Charizard. He called Liza to get Charizard from the Valley. So, Ash has to wait for his battle.
