Ep 24. Bucking the Treasure Trend!

Ash and his friends have arrived in a new town and are surprised to find a rodeo going on. They decide to check it out, and soon meet a cowboy named Buck who dreams of being a champion bull rider. However, Buck's luck seems to be running out lately, as he struggles to stay on the bull for the required eight seconds.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has arrived in town as well, with plans to steal a treasure that is said to be hidden somewhere in the rodeo grounds. They are quickly discovered by Buck's trusty dog, and decide to use their capture as a cover for their treasure hunt.

As Ash and his friends learn more about Buck's struggles, they decide to help him out by teaching him about Pokemon training techniques. With some practice, Buck's bull-riding skills begin to improve, and he gains confidence in himself.

However, things take a turn for the worse when Team Rocket's treasure hunt disturbs a powerful Pokemon that has been asleep underground. The Pokemon begins to rampage, and it's up to Ash and his friends to save the day.

In the end, Buck's bull-riding dreams are achieved, and Team Rocket is thwarted in their attempts to steal the treasure. Ash and his friends bid farewell to Buck and continue on their journey, eager to see what new adventures await them next.
