On the way to Eterna City, the group of four teens visited a Pokémon Center where they met young Paige and her big sister Marnie, the daughters of the local Nurse Joy.
With this meeting, they were able to get their first good look at Drifloon because Marnie has three, which she uses to help her deliver lunch to her father while Paige takes the group of teens to meet Pokémon in the surrounding forest. Paige also reveals she and Marnie have a secret friend, none other than the legendary Suicune.
Marnie's father and his Ampharos are working at the Valley Windworks Power Plant. Something happened that damaged the Windworks, which made it so that the lights went out at the Pokémon Center too. Leaving Nurse Joy to go to the Windworks to see what was wrong.
Paige wanted to help and took her Drifloon in order to follow with Pikachu and Chu trying to stop her only for a big gust of wind to sweep all of them away!
The group of teens race to the Windworks to try and intercept them, except with the looming storm Paige, Chu, and Pikachu must have been blown way off course.
Ash and Harmony were able to find them with the help of Marnie's Drifloon, but Paige, Pikachu, and Chu had gotten stuck up among the rocks.
There really was no way the two teens to reach them on foot any time soon.
Marnie however, was determined to save her sister no matter what, so she had asked Suicune to appear and help her.
Suicune responds and quickly takes her to Ash, Harmony, and Paige. With Marnie and Suicune's help, everyone was taken back to safety.
With Nurse Joy's family reunited and the Windworks Power Plant fixed, the group of teens called it a day.
The following day the group of teens came across a newsworthy diversion: two notorious Pokémon Trainers who've won 16 battles in a row, attracting the attention of Rhonda the reporter and her Sinnoh Now news team.
Of course with that information, Ash wants to battle these Champ Twins, Bryan, and Ryan.
The only catch was that Bryan and Ryan only have tag battles. So teaming up with Dawn after Harmony's decision to not participate, the cameras started rolling. Ash and Dawn battled Bryan's Croconaw and Ryan's Quilava with Turtwig and Piplup.
However the two trainers were far too eager to show their stuff, but their teamwork skills made them fail, then again they didn't have very well teamwork skills at all.
Mainly it was because the two of them didn't coordinate their moves to work well together, so it was easy for Piplup and Turtwig to get in each other's way. This once again led to Ash and Dawn arguing, which made them ultimately lose their battle.
"I told you, you guys need to work together, the more you argue with each other the less likely you'll ever win something like a tag team." Harmony scolds the two, "Being part of a tag team includes, shocker, teamwork, and you two just are arguing, how do you think your pokemon feel about that?" she points out earning bashful looks from both trainers. "So if you want to try again, try and figure out what you want to do before and try to igure out how to work together, for Arceus's sake, you two can get along and know how to work together, how many times have we taken Team Rocket down because we've all worked together?"
"You're right Harmony...I'm sorry Ash I shouldn't have yelled at you for trying to figureout a way to win, and we shouldn't have gotten in your way so much."
"I'm sorry too, Dawn, I guess we got too into the battle and forgot we needed to work together, instead of against you." Ash apologies.
"See, now how about we go try to find those Champ Twins and ask for a rematch? As a real Tag team who can work together that is." she points out.
"Yeah! You're right!"
There really was only one small problem with the plan to go have a rematch.
Team Rocket had lured the Champ Twins into a pit trap and stolen their Pokémon.
When the group of teens discovered the theft, they were quick to show off their new teamwork and were easily able to defeat Team Rocket to get Croconaw and Quilava back.
With that Ash and Dawn were able to battle the Champ Twins again, and this time their improved coordination made it so that they could win the battle.
As the group of teens got further into the Eterna Forest Ash's Aipom had rushed off away from them, with the teens racing after her. Only to find a tree full of delicious honey, the scent of which has attracted several Pokémon, which had included Ash's Aipom and a wild Burmy.
The Burmy has also attracted the attention of a Trainer, Cheryl, who captured it with her Chansey.
After learning that Cheryl is a treasure hunter in search of the Enchanted Honey that's said to lie within the Amber Castle. The four teens were quite intrigued.
The only catch was that the only way to find it is through a male Burmy she can evolve into Mothim, which has an amazing sense of smell.
Both Ash and Harmony offer to help evolve Burmy by letting it battle Turtwig and Lyn, the Shinx.
What should have been an easy victory for Burmy, a bug type, to beat a Grass-type, Turtwig, was not it as this Burmy wasn't very robust making it lose rather quickly to Turtwig. Even with Harmony trying to get Lyn, the Shinx to be a bit gentler and try and let Burmy win it didn't work
After it lost both of the matches it got seized by Team Rocket as part of a nefarious plot to evolve it into Mothim and impress Giovanni.
After Team Rocket makes their getaway with Burmy, however, they discover that Burmy's better at eating all their food than it is at battling.
Thankfully just in time, Cheryl and the teens arrived to rescue Burmy, the one that was stuffing its face full of Team Rocket's food that is.
Burmy managed to help rescue itself by teaming up with Chansey in order to defeat Meowth and Wobbuffet, giving enough experience for it to finally evolve into Mothim.
The stage was easily set for everyone to join forces and send Team Rocket blasting off.
But after that, the newly evolved Mothim then picks up a scent and leads the group of five towards a new chapter in the search for the Amber Castle.
Along the way in the search for the Amber Castle, the group of five cross paths with that of Gardenia, a Trainer who's a real Grass-type fanatic.
Mainly because Ash and Harmony were training together with Turtwig and Lyn, the Shinx. Gardenia was quick to admire Ash's Turtwig so much that she challenges Ash to a battle.
It was something that shocked Harmony as Ash and she hadn't even finished their battle.
"It's fine Ash, it might be better to train against a grass-type person because the next gym from what I read was a grass type gym. It might be better to figure that out now and strategize," she says moving to lit Lyn up into her arms, the poor Shinx pouting a bit as the battle didn't get finished. "Don't worry Lyn, there will be other times you can battle Turtwig I'm sure."
Gardenia sends out her Cherubi to battle Turtwig but soon switches in her own Turtwig instead. As fast as Ash's Turtwig is, Gardenia's Turtwig is even faster and wins the first round.
Ash's next pick is his speedy Staravia, but he's was shocked when Gardenia's Turtwig turned out to still be fast enough to dodge Staravia's attacks and win once again. This marked Gardenia as the victor.
Gardenia then offers to help our heroes find a Combee Wall because wherever Combee gather and store nectar, there's bound to be honey.
But then once again Team Rocket makes another attempt to steal Cheryl's Mothim, hoping that its keen sense of smell will lead them to the Enchanted Honey instead.
Even their villainy is no match for Gardenia's fearless love for James' Grass-type Pokémon and the power of her Turtwig, and Team Rocket finds themselves blasting off again, still empty-handed.
After all the help she's given, however, Gardenia had to part ways with the group of five, who soon were able to spot a Combee. Excitedly realizing that they must be close to a Combee Wall, Cheryl, Ash, Harmony, Dawn, and Brock once again rush off in search of the unknown.
With finding the Combee Cheryl's Mothim used its keen sense of smell to lead everyone towards the scent of honey, and soon they're deep in a series of tunnels.
Something must have happened elsewhere as the Combee became angry at the group of five, confusing the group as to why they were angry at them who hadn't done anything, it was Team Rocket who was digging up their home after all!
Cheryl has Mothim use Supersonic to confuse the Combee, which lets the group of five, ignoring Team Rocket, continue the search for the Enchanted Honey.
The group soon finds themselves in front of the biggest Combee yet and pass through to discover the Amber Castle was right behind it.
This glimmering golden structure had a Vespiquen living at its center, easily being the Queen of this hive, and Cheryl apologized to her for the intrusion.
Just as Cheryl asked Vespiquen for the gift of honey, Team Rocket bursts into the Castle and nearly wrecks it in their attempt to raid the Enchanted Honey.
While Ash and Harmony rush to try and repair the damage, the Queen of the hive, Vespiquen, and Cheryl's Mothim deal with Team Rocket, sending them flying before they can do any more damage.
After some repairs, with the help of the teens, Cheryl and the rest of the Combee the Amber Castle was safe, and Cheryl received a gift of Enchanted Honey for helping Vespiquen and the Combee.
With that quest finished it was time for Cheryl the treasure hunter to be on her way As well as Harmony and Ash and their friends were also eager to head for their next destination: Eterna City, where Harmony and Ash's next Gym battle awaits them!
The only thing that stopped them from reaching Eterna City was there being a Pokémon Dress-Up Contest where Pokémon try to imitate other Pokémon.
Ash and Pikachu, Harmony and Chu, Dawn and Piplup, Brock and Croagunk, and what Harmony thought looked like Team Rocket, more than likely was them after all, all entering the contest in hopes of winning the Pokémon Egg prize.
But how were the chances of beating the reigning champion, a singing Chatot? It seemed rather difficult for Harmony to fathom, but she really had hoped to raise another egg, it was really fun.
The key was to stay in character.
So with that in mind when Piplup, pretending to be Weedle, got a little too excited and uses Bubble Beam, Dawn and Piplup are knocked out of the first round.
Harmony, Ash, and Brock make it into the second round along with Team Rocket.
Harmony had thought that it seemed like James was playing fair with Mime Jr. it turned out that Jessie couldn't resist stealing the prize Pokémon Egg, forcing Team Rocket to make a quick getaway.
Together with Officer Jenny, the group of teens chase after Team Rocket so quickly that Brock's Croagunk doesn't even stop to take off its Politoed costume.
There's no doubt who'll win this showdown, especially once Mime Jr.'s Teeter Dance hits Team Rocket instead of its target.
In all the confusion, Team Rocket drops the stolen Pokémon Egg. Buneary quickly catches it, Team Rocket is sent packing, and everyone returns to the contest for the final results.
After the judges tallied their votes, the final winner was Brock's Croagunk, who stayed in character as Politoed even while chasing Team Rocket.
Brock accepted the Pokémon Egg, leaving him and the other teens to ponder two important questions. When will the Egg hatch, and just what Pokémon will it turn out to be?
"I'm not sure, but I would say it's more likely going to be some kind of fairy-type, the coloring seems to be that way, it could be an Igglybuff or Hapiny based on the coloring, usually that means that it's bread from two o the same parent or ones if Hapiny's sake could be from another nurse pokemon like an Audino as the other parent," she explains.
Her friends gave her a look of confusion. "What? Brock may be the breeder of this group but that doesn't mean I don't study on Pokemon eggs as well, its a hobby of sorts, there's a daycare I liked visiting back home in the Wild Area and I'd help out a bit when I could, I liked helping with the eggs of all sorts of types. Usually, there is some kind of pattern that represents what pokemon it might be." she points out with a shrug.
"Let's get going, the Eterna Gym really is closer than ever, and I really want to get there by the end of the week if we can!" Harmony says with a grin.
