They overhear the trainers talking about a powerful electric pokemon that's said to be lurking in the river, causing havoc for anyone who comes near it. Ash, being the brave and curious trainer that he is, decides to investigate the situation and find out what’s happening.

As Ash and Pikachu approach the river, they realize that the rumors were true – a group of Tentacool and Tentacruel are attacking the area with their electric powers. Not only are they causing a lot of destruction, but they are also blocking the river, which is the main source of water for a nearby town. Ash recognizes the potential danger and decides to take matters into his own hands.

Suddenly, an injured Lapras pops out of the water and begs Ash and Pikachu for their help. They quickly agree to help the gentle pokemon and follow Lapras back to its home, where they find a group of pokemon who are struggling to protect their watery world from the Tentacruel. Ash quickly realizes that if he doesn't do something, the water pokemon will be unable to stop the tentacruel from blocking the river, which will lead to a disastrous drought for the town.

Ash decides to team up with the water pokemon to fight the Tentacruel. But, things aren't as simple as they seem. The Tentacruel are extremely powerful and have become more aggressive after absorbing a large amount of electricity from a nearby power plant. They are now powerful enough to defeat any pokemon that come near them.

Despite the immense danger, Ash and his pokemon refuse to give up. With Pikachu by his side, Ash quickly comes up with a plan to defeat the Tentacruel by using their electric powers to his advantage. They devise a clever strategy that allows them to get close enough to the Tentacruel without getting hurt. When they finally make it to the core of the Tentacruel's power source, Ash and his pokemon unleash their strongest attacks and manage to take down the creatures.

With the Tentacruel defeated, the river is restored to its original state, providing access to the nearby town’s citizens. The water pokemon thank Ash and Pikachu for saving their home and say goodbye as the duo continue on their journey.
