In the episode "A Bout With Sprout" of Pokemon the Series season 3, Ash and friends have arrived in the sprawling metropolis of Goldenrod City. They soon learn about the Gym Leader, Whitney, who is known for her powerful Miltank. Eager to test their skills, Ash and his friends head to the Gym, but are met with a long line of trainers waiting for their turn to battle.

While waiting their turn, Ash and friends meet a young boy named Janina, who is looking for a rare and elusive Pokemon called Exeggcute. His grandfather, an expert on rare Pokemon, had been searching for the Exeggcute for years, but had recently fallen ill. Janina is determined to find the Exeggcute and save his grandfather.

Ash and his friends decide to help Janina in his search, venturing deep into the forest outside of Goldenrod City. Along the way, they encounter a group of Pokemon who are being terrorized by a group of Weepinbell. Ash and friends quickly jump into action, using their Pokemon to fend off the Weepinbell and save the other Pokemon.

As they continue their search for the Exeggcute, Ash and friends stumble upon an abandoned greenhouse. Inside, they find the Exeggcute, but are quickly confronted by the greenhouse's owner, a botanist named Mariah. Mariah is furious that Ash and his friends have trespassed on her property, and demands that they leave immediately.

Despite her initial hostility, Mariah soon realizes that Ash and his friends may be able to help with her own problems. The Weepinbell that had been terrorizing the other Pokemon had originally been part of her collection, but had grown too wild to keep under control. Mariah offers to trade the Exeggcute to Ash and his friends if they can help her capture and tame the Weepinbell.

Ash and his friends agree to help, and engage in a thrilling battle with the Weepinbell using their Pokemon. With their combined efforts, they are able to subdue the Weepinbell and return them to their cages.

As a reward for their help, Mariah gives Ash and his friends the Exeggcute, which Janina uses to heal his grandfather. With their mission accomplished, Ash and friends return to the Gym, confident that they are ready to take on Whitney and her fearsome Miltank.

Overall, "A Bout With Sprout" is a heartwarming episode that showcases the importance of teamwork, compassion, and determination.
