This chapter starts out with a serial pokemon thief named Abd Hakma unwraping bandages, after having plastic surgery done to his face, in a dirty public rest room where a group of scientists with guns corner him. Abd knocks them out easily and leaves carrying a large brief case. While in a diner, Max notices that who ever is in charge of the TV, conviently left it on a show called Hot Shot. Hot Shot is a show for Bad Dude Bounty Hunters, which has post the bounty information on Abd Hakma, showing an out dated face on his mug shot, which says he stole an innocent lab pokemon from a research facility and is worth 800 dollars caught alive. Zet comes out of the boys bath room to see what Max is watching and then Max's walkie talkie cell phone Zet gave him rings. It's a doctor and friend of Max who treated Nevel Potter for his injuries.
MAX: (answering his walkie talkie cell phone) Hey!
DOCTOR: (talking on the other end of the line) Hey!
MAX: (talking on his walkie talkie cell phone) Yo doc, you got some thing good?
DOCTOR: (talking on the other end of the line) Yeah and on Abd Hakma.
MAX: (talking on his walkie talkie cell phone) I'll take it.
DOCTOR: (talking on the other end of the line) 300 dollars and that's a discount.
DOCTOR: (talking on the other end of the line) I've got his face post plastic surgery.
MAX: (talking on his walkie talkie cell phone) I'm low on cash right now and need a more generous offer.
DOCTOR: (talking on the other end of the line) Alright, 250, but as long as you make me a deal.
MAX: (talking on his walkie talkie cell phone) What?
DOCTOR: (talking on the other end of the line) Punch out that afro wearing menace cold for me!
DOCTOR: (talking on the other end of the line) He trampled me when he ripped up my lab.
DOCTOR: (talking on the other end of the line) Give him it once over!
DOCTOR: (talking on the other end of the line) His carrying case was very unusual to say the least.
MAX: (talking on his walkie talkie cell phone) This info is no extra charge right?
DOCTOR: (talking on the other end of the line) Right!
DOCTOR: (talking on the other end of the line) This case was big enough to carry a small pokemon inside.
ZET: (listening to the doctor's loud voice from a short distance from Max) Or a prize.
DOCTOR: (talking on the other end of the line) Can't really say for sure.
DOCTOR: (talking on the other end of the line) The way he was carrying it, it seemed kinda like he had some thing very special in it.
In the city of Czar, Abd contacts a certain someone with his cell phone.
ABD: (talking to someone on his cell phone) I've got the goods if you know what i mean.
ABD: (talking to someone on his cell phone) I'll see you in about maybe 6 hours.
He hangs up. After his mysterious cell call ends, he then walks into a juice bar. He walks up and then talks to the guy behind the counter.
ABD: Give me some health juice!
The guy behind the counter gives him his drink. Some old man then bumps into him on purpose.
OLD MAN: Sorry there bro, for the slip you know.
OLD MAN: Hey, i said i was sorry there.
OLD MAN: Oh you think you're too good to talk to me, is that it?
Abd then spits into his drink and hands it over to the old man.
ABD: (holding it out for him) Here it's my treat.
Abd then grabs the old man by the mouth.
ABD: (holding it out for him) Drink it!
That's when the old man's younger partner in crime reaches for the brief case and then takes it. After making the old man drink the juice with his spit in it, the old man gets on his knees and starts vomiting. Abd then turns around to see the younger man run off out of the juice bar with his brief case. Abd, with his monstorious strength, kicks the door to the juice bar down and then runs after him. The younger male some how got on top of a garbage truck and opened the brief case to see what was inside. He didn't even open it up half way because when he did open it up, even a little, what ever was inside started to growl at him.
After that scene, Max finally makes it to Czar on his bike. He goes to a pawn shop and after impressing the clerk with his knowledge of a pair of fighting weapons, eye of the tiger model, he is told to go to Pokemon Treasure. At Pokemon Treasure, the younger man with Abd's brief case tries to sell its contents to the store owner. Max then catches him and pulls out his 19 inch steel bar and tells him to freeze.
MAX: (pointing his 19 inch steel bar at him) Did you run out of funds from all the plastic surgeries Abd?
YOUNGER MALE: You've got it all wrong.
YOUNGER MALE: I'm not.
MAX: (pointing his 19 inch steel bar at him) Don't move!
MAX: (pointing his 19 inch steel bar at him) Very slipery how you change your face around, but you're not slipping out on me.
YOUNGER MALE: What the what?
STORE OWNER: Now both of you stop this funny business!
STORE OWNER: My babies are very fragile, so please stop!
MAX: (pointing his 19 inch steel bar at him) Open the case!
STORE OWNER: Why me?
YOUNGER MALE: This is a misunderstanding.
MAX: (pointing his 19 inch steel bar at him) Do it!
STORE OWNER: I'll open it alright.
She then opens it to find a cute little friendly poochyena. Max stops pointing his 19 inch steel bar at the younger male.
STORE OWNER: A cute little poochyena.
STORE OWNER: They're very sweet and you see them often.
MAX: Well how much is it worth i mean?
STORE OWNER: You could sell him for about 2.
YOUNGER MALE: 200?
STORE OWNER: No no!
STORE OWNER: 2 dollars only.
MAX and YOUNGER MALE: No way.
STORE OWNER: Yes way and if you don't like it, just take him back.
MAX: It is just a pokemon.
Max apologizes to the younger male standing frozen in fear and then starts to walk out.
MAX: Sorry about the whole steel bar thing.
MAX: Have a nice day okay.
Max then walks by the real Abd with out even noticing, outside of Pokemon Treasure.
YOUNGER MALE: At least give me 200!
STORE OWNER: Sorry!
YOUNGER MALE: 150!
STORE OWNER: No can do.
YOUNGER MALE: 120!
ABD: (pointing a gun at the back of the younger male's head) Zero!
ABD: (pointing a gun at the back of the younger male's head) I'll take it back and off of your hands.
STORE OWNER: Oh no, not again.
STORE OWNER: What now?
After raising his hand closer, poochyena then jumps on his face, causing him to shoot a bullet into the roof, which then causes all the pokemon to panic, break out of their cages, and then destory things in the place while heading for the exit.
STORE OWNER: My babies are all running away.
STORE OWNER: Some one help me get them back!
Scientists in a van from the research facility see poochyena and chase after him with Abd close behind. Max hears the commotion and spotting Abd, decides to follow the chase as well. Poochyena runs to a bridge where Max and Abd meet on opposite ends.
ABD: So are you a bad dude bounty hunter or some pokemon rights chump?
MAX: You know you really make me laugh Abd.
MAX: Risking your life for a poochyena that's only worth a handful of dollars.
ABD: What's it to you?
MAX: Nothing but a good laugh, but you're worth 800 dollars.
They fight for 1 minute until the poochyena jumps over the bridge and on to a boat. They jump after him, but poochyena jumps off the boat and on to Max's head. Abd falls into a barrel of corphish on the boat and Max is left in the water, holding poochyena.
Later, back at camp, Zet decides to put a tracking coller on poochyena that can be traced to his walkie talkie cell phone. He decides to use poochyena as bait to lure out Abd in the open. Max is forced to dog walk on the streets of Czar.
The scientists decide to use a high powered dog whistle in their van to attract every dog pokemon in the city to them. Poochyena hears the sound and escapes from Max. Max gets on his walkie talkie cell phone to inform Zet about the situation at hand. The van, followed by a pack of dog pokemon including poochyena, move past Abd who is using a fortune teller to help him find the dog pokemon.
Abd steals a honeymooners' car while Max chases after poochyena on his swordfish. Abd grabs the poochyena, sprays him with a rare and illegal sleeping agent, and drives out to a cause way. Max tries to crash Abd's car by hitting the side of it, but the scientists' van catches up and harpoons Abd. Poochyena wakes up, pushes a button to open the doors, and jumps out. Max makes a conscious choice to go after poochyena and save him from falling into the water. He's forced to land in the water on his bike and watches as the harpooned Abd crashes into an IKP (International Kalos Police) precinct along with the criminal scientists' van. In the end, Max decided to save poochyena because poochyena kinda reminded him of another poochyena he met and became friends with, back when he was traveling with Ash, May, Brock, and pikachu. Even so, he's still in a bad mood, since he didn't get any reward money.
Hot Shot reports on the crash, saying that poochyena is a "pokemon data puppy" and was genetically engineered in an illegal research facility. The scientists along with Abd were arrested by the police with out Max getting any reward, but at least Max and Zet get to keep poochyena and his tricks. Back at camp, Zet makes poochyena a member of the Bad Dude Bounty Hunters, despite Max's rejection to the new member of their team.
ZET: (walking into the camp site) Hey!
Poochyena runs up to Max and his 3 apples.
POOCHYENA: Poochy poochy poochy poochy poochy poochy!
MAX: Go away!
MAX: No pokemon near the human food.
Poochyena then shakes himself all over, causing little water droplets to drop on Max.
MAX: That's cold.
ZET: Ah, i think he likes you.
ZET: You are a very likeable fellow, Max.
MAX: This is why i said i didn't want any stray mut pokemon around the camp site.
ZET: But you're the one that brought him here.
ZET: Also, we've got to do something about his tricks.
MAX: We've got to deal with his tricks now?
MAX: Lets just salt him and eat him.
ZET: You wouldn't eat a fellow team member, would you?
MAX: He can't join up with us.
ZET: All those in favor of poochyena joining the team, say i!
ZET: I!
POOCHYENA: Poochy!
ZET: All those against it, say nay.
MAX: NAY!
ZET: Sorry Max.
ZET: You're out numbered 2 to 1.
ZET: Poochyena is now an offical bad dude bounty hunter.
ZET: Isn't this great?
MAX: NOOOOOOO!
