They come across a small fishing village where they meet a fisherman named Sullivan who is having trouble with his Chinchou. The Chinchou is not producing any electricity, which is a problem because Sullivan uses the electric current to locate schools of fish.
Ash and his friends offer to help Sullivan and he accepts. They dive into the ocean surrounding the village in order to investigate the problem with Chinchou. Along the way, they run into Team Rocket, who as always, have their own plans. They plan to steal Sullivan's Chinchou for themselves. Ash and his friends must work together to protect the Chinchou and solve the mystery behind its lack of electricity.

Ash and Pikachu use their knowledge of electric type Pokemon to identify the root of the problem. They work on building Chinchou's confidence back up in order for it to produce electricity again.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is getting in the way of their mission. Jessie, James, and Meowth are up to their usual antics, trying to capture the Chinchou before Ash and his friends can solve the mystery of its electricity problem.
The group eventually discovers that the lack of electricity production is due to low self-confidence in the Chinchou. After some encouraging words and a bit of teamwork, the Chinchou regains its confidence and begins producing electricity again. This helps Sullivan to locate schools of fish and solve the problem that threatened his livelihood.
Overall, "Takin' It On The Chinchou!" provides a fun and exciting adventure for Ash and his friends. As they continue their journey through the Hoenn region, they prove once again that their teamwork can solve even the most challenging of problems.
