Brock is cooking some lunch while Ash is cleaning is Pokéballs. His Pokéballs shine in the bright sun. Pikachu hands Ash the GS Ball to clean next. Misty notices that Ash has been acting like a more responsible trainer. Ash tells her that cleaning Pokéballs is quite important. Brock calls everyone down for lunch. Ash and Misty hurry down to Brock. Pikachu is also about go when it sees something in the water. Ash sees it too. It's a Quagsire. Ash looks up Quagsire in his Pokédex. Misty finds Quagsire to be a cute water Pokémon. She wants to capture it. Before she can throw a Pokéball, Psyduck pops out. Quagsire and Psyduck just stare at each other. When Misty moves Psyduck out of the way, Quagsire quickly grabs the GS Ball and swims away. Ash chases Quagsire. He sends out Squirtle to retrieve the GS Ball. Squirtle swims up to Quagsire and jumps on top of its body. Because of Quagsire's slick skin, Squirtle falls off. Ash asks Squirtle if it is still okay. Squirtle keeps on going, but Quagsire whacks it with its tail. Squirtle gets back up again and uses Water Gun, causing Quagsire to drop the GS Ball. Pikachu catches it.
