Ep 5. Candid Camerupt

Ash and friends finally arrive at the Battle Dome, where Ash will be facing off against Dome Ace Tucker in his next battle. However, their attention is quickly diverted when they notice a nearby mountain spewing out hot lava. They soon discover that this is caused by a group of Camerupts who live inside the mountain.

As they explore the area, they stumble upon a local reporter named Rhonda, who is attempting to capture footage of the Camerupts for her news program. Despite Ash's warnings about their dangerous nature, Rhonda continues to get closer and closer to the Camerupts in an attempt to capture the perfect shot.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has also discovered the Camerupts and decides to steal them for their own wicked purposes. With the help of a disguised Meowth, they manage to infiltrate the Camerupts' mountain and begin their plot.

As the situation becomes more dire, Ash and his friends must team up with Rhonda to save the Camerupts from the clutches of Team Rocket. Along the way, they also learn about the importance of respecting nature and the creatures that inhabit it.

In the end, Ash faces off against Tucker in a battle atop the Battle Dome, but it remains to be seen who will come out victorious. However, one thing is for sure- Ash and his friends are more determined than ever to continue their journey and become the best trainers they can be.
