Ep 45. The Big Balloon Blow-Up

Ash, Misty, and Brock are traveling through the Johto region when they come across a hot air balloon festival. The festival is being held in honor of a famous balloonist named Wilbur, who is known for his ability to create incredibly intricate and beautiful balloons.

As they explore the festival, they come across a group of young trainers who are all working on building their own balloons to compete in the festival's big balloon race. Ash and his friends decide to join in on the fun and build their own balloon as well.

However, tensions rise when a rival group of trainers, led by a boy named Rico, show up and begin to cause trouble. Rico and his team seem determined to win the race at any cost, resorting to underhanded tactics and sabotage.

As the day of the race approaches, Ash and his friends find themselves facing a difficult task. Not only do they need to build a balloon capable of winning the race, but they also need to find a way to stop Rico and his team from cheating their way to victory.

With the help of Wilbur and his vast knowledge of balloons, Ash and his friends manage to create a balloon that is not only beautiful but also incredibly fast. However, their victory is far from certain, as Rico and his team prove to be just as skilled in the air.

In the end, it all comes down to a thrilling finish as Ash and Rico race neck and neck towards the finish line. It's a battle of skill and determination as the two teams fly through the air, dodging obstacles and using every trick in the book to gain the upper hand.
