Misty and Brock decide to stick around and watch the competition, but they soon notice that something is amiss.
As the competition gets underway, it becomes clear that there are some contestants who are performing at an incredibly high level, far beyond what would be expected from even the most skilled roller skaters. As Misty and Brock investigate, they discover that these contestants are not human at all, but rather Pokemon who have been trained to perform incredible roller skating tricks and moves.
Realizing that this could be the work of Team Rocket, the group begins to investigate further.

Although Ash is a skilled roller skater, he quickly realizes that he is no match for the combined power of Jessie, James, and Meowth, who are using their Pokemon's abilities to cheat.
Desperate for a way to win, Ash turns to his own Pokemon for help. With Pikachu's help, he comes up with a plan to outmaneuver Team Rocket by using a combination of speed, agility, and skill.
