Dig Those Diglett!
En route to Fuchsia City, Ash and his friends encounter a construction project
in the middle of the forest. A dam is being built here, but the project is
threatened by Digletts, cute mole-like Pokemon who live underground. The
tunnels they dig are disrupting the construction project. Dozens of Pokemon
trainers are called in to assist in removing the Digletts, including Gary
and his admirers; whenever the trainers try to call forth their Pokemon,
however, they refuse to come out. Eventually, all the trainers give up and
go home.
Ash and the others, remaining behind, discover that the Digletts are only
trying to save their home from destruction, as the dam's completion would
mean their home would be washed away. The trainer's Pokemon realize this,
and refuse to help harm the Digletts. The project's leader decides to stop
the project, but Team Rocket and their recently-evolved Pokemon, Arbok and
Weezing, intervene. With the help of the Digletts, Team Rocket is beaten
back again, and Ash and his friends continue on to Fuchsia City.
Near Fuchsia City, Ash, Misty, and Brock encounter a strange Japanese castle.
Inside, they discover that the castle is actually the training grounds for a
clan of ninja Pokemon trainers, led by Koga, the Fuchsia City gym leader.
Team Rocket appears to try and steal more Pokemon, but Misty's Psyduck ends
up saving the day, despite his headache. Ash defeats Koga's poison-type
Pokemon in a difficult battle, and they continue onwards to the Safari Zone.
On the way to the Safari Zone, Ash passes through a ranch owned by Lara Larame,
a famous Pokemon breeder. She intends to race her fire Pokemon, Ponyta, in a
Pokemon race in a few days, but a rival breeder named Dario has other plans.
He hires Team Rocket to ensure his victory in the race. They end up causing
Lara to break her arm, and Ash has to take her place in the race. The race
is long and fierce, with Team Rocket's booby traps catching many of the
participants; in the end, however, Ash's determination to win the race for
Lara causes Ponyta to evolve into Rapidash, and he beats Dario by a
"nose".
In the Safari Zone, Ash and his friends are mistaken for poachers; the real
poachers, however, are Team Rocket, and they almost capture a whole herd of
Kangaskhan. The Pokemon are saved by a young boy, Tomo, the Kangaskhan Kid. His
parents appear at the Safari Zone, looking to take him back, after losing his
in the park many years ago. The Kangaskhan Kid is unwilling to leave his new
foster Pokemon-parents, however. Eventually, after Team Rocket tries again
to capture the Kangaskhans, the boy's parents decide to stay with him in the
Safari Zone, so that everyone will be happy.
After having braved the perils of the Safari Zone, Ash and his friends finally get back to civilization and find that a bridge that was on Brock's map has been finally completed.
However, they soon discover that while cars currently can't go on the bridge, only pedestrians and bicyclers can zip across it. Ash and his friends go to the Pokemon Center, and they find out that Nurse Joy needs to have some medicine
delivered to Sunny Town, on the other side of the bridge. They borrow bikes from the Pokemon Center and try to cross the bridge, but they're soon assaulted by gang of hoodlums on bikes who challenge them to a Pokemon duel.
Meanwhile, Jessie and James manage to float to the city as well, and they recognize the bike gang as the gang they used to belong in before they
joined Team Rocket. They try to prove themselves to the gang by trying to stop Ash and his friends from crossing the bridge
during a storm, but they fail miserably and get smushed by Ash who uses them as a spring board to get across the bridge as it's splitting up to let a ship through. The bike gang recognizes Ash and his friends as great bike riders and they escort them
to Sunny Town where they manage to deliver the medicine in time to save the sick Pokemon Nurse Joy was worried about.
