Ep 7. Piplup, Up and Away!

Ash and his friends continue their journey through the Sinnoh region, and in this episode, they come across a group of Piplup. The group is performing a traditional dance, but one Piplup struggles to get the moves right, much to the frustration of the others.

The gang decides to help the struggling Piplup, and they discover that its problem lies in its inability to jump high enough. Ash and the gang take Piplup to a nearby hot spring to help it train, but soon encounter Team Rocket, who have their sights set on stealing the hot spring water.

As Ash and the gang try to fend off Team Rocket, Piplup finally manages to perfect its jumping skills. The group rejoices, and they continue on their journey, with Piplup more confident than ever before.
