Deciding to take a break from walking so much the group of four teens decided to go fishing in hopes of catching a powerful Buizel that's been spotted in a nearby river.

"I get that you want a powerful Pokemon Ash, but do you really think it will all for more fishing? It obviously loves to take on challengers, I don't think it wants to really get caught" Harmony points out to her overly excited friend.

"That's all the more reason for me to catch it and add it to my team! Don't you think it will be an amazing team member?" Ash points out.

"While I didn't say it wouldn't, but it might not want to join a trainer, some pokemon love being wild, you have to catch it with a fishing rod first."

The group was soon joined by Zoey, Dawn's friend, and rival, who happened to be in the area to do some fishing of her own.

With Zoey joining everyone was distracted until Dawn who ends up with Buizel on her fishing line.

Buizel defeats Dawn's Piplup and promptly challenges Zoey. Zoey's Glameow is no slouch, but Buizel wins that battle and then still has the energy to take on Pikachu and win.

Now all three Trainers are determined to catch it.

"Really, do you have to make a competition on this? Yeah, it's a strong pokemon, you'd have to gain it's trust somehow, after all, it took the fishing rods." Harmony points out.

When they came back across Buizel, it was in the middle of a workout.

The only problem was that Team Rocket decided to be party crashers and caught it in a net and tried to take off in their balloon.

Of course, the teens didn't let that happen with Harmony's Shinx, Lyn, and Ash's Turtwig cut Buizel loose with Swift and Razor Leaf.

Dawn was also determined to rescue Buizel, although Buizel didn't seem convinced that it needed any help at all. Once freed from the net, it helps defeat Team Rocket and still wants another battle with Piplup.

"You really should try again Dawn, it's great battle experience, and I think Buizel is a great opponent for Piplup." Harmony encourages her, elbowing Ash who looked like he wanted to complain that he really wanted Buizel. "Right, Ash? She should try again, shouldn't she?" Harmony says tuning to the other teen and narrowing her eyes at him.

Ash seems to pause as his mouth was open before shutting it and nodding in agreement, "You really should Dawn, it'll be great for you."

It was clear that Buizel was a strong, powerful Pokémon, but this time Dawn and Piplup realize they had a creative edge, especially with being coordinators, there was nothing wrong with trying to dazzle and distract a pokemon in order to win and catch it.

By using the combinations they had been developing for Contests, Piplup is able to defeat Buizel and Dawn finally caught it in a Pokeball.
