As the firefighting squad and Ash and his friends work to get the water-type Pokemon back under control, a battle breaks out between Team Rocket and Ash. In the end, Ash and his friends are able to stop Team Rocket and save the day.

With order restored, the firefighting squad thanks Ash and his friends for their help and they all share a meal together. The merchants who had previously opposed the firefighting squad are impressed by their bravery and decide to support them moving forward.
