Ep 38. Fowl Play

Ash, Misty, and Brock find themselves in a new location, a city called Turffield, known for its beautiful gardens and for hosting an annual Bird Pokémon Contest. The trio decides to participate in the contest, hoping to showcase their bird Pokémon. However, they soon discover that some of the contestants are cheating by using Pokémon they are not supposed to.

As the competition progresses, Ash and his friends team up with a local police officer named Jenny, who is also investigating the same cheating scandal. Together, they try to uncover the truth and bring the cheaters to justice. They encounter many obstacles along the way, including a mysterious figure who seems to be manipulating the contest from behind the scenes.

Meanwhile, Ash's Pikachu befriends a wild Pidgeotto and offers to help it find its way back to its flock. Pidgeotto, however, is hesitant and explains that it was banished from its flock for being a poor flier. Pikachu encourages Pidgeotto to try again and helps it train in the gardens, hoping to improve its skills and regain its confidence.

As the contest reaches its climax, the cheaters become more desperate and resort to dangerous tactics to win. Ash and his friends must work together to stop them before anyone gets hurt. In the end, the truth is revealed, and justice is served. Ash and his friends, along with Pidgeotto, leave the city, feeling proud of what they accomplished and ready for their next adventure.
