Ep 5. Triple Leaders, Team Threats

Ash and friends arrive at Nacrene City, where Ash is set to challenge the gym leader Lenora for his next gym badge. However, they quickly learn that the city is being threatened by a group of three Team Plasma grunts who are seeking to steal a valuable artifact from the local museum.

As Ash and his friends investigate the situation, they discover that the artifact in question is a rare and valuable fossil, and that Lenora is actually in charge of the museum. Lenora agrees to help Ash stop Team Plasma, and they devise a plan to sneak into the museum and catch the grunts off guard.

However, the plan quickly falls apart when they realize that the grunts have already infiltrated the museum and are attempting to steal the fossil. In the ensuing battle, Ash and his Pokemon are able to hold off the grunts long enough for Lenora to retrieve the fossil and secure it in a safe location.

With the threat neutralized, Ash is able to focus on his gym battle with Lenora. Despite the formidable challenge posed by Lenora's Normal-type Pokemon, Ash is able to use his own Pokemon's unique strengths to dominate the battle and emerge victorious. With his third gym badge in hand, Ash and his friends continue on their journey with renewed confidence and determination.
