Ep 4. Training Wrecks

Ash and his gang are on their way to Fennel Valley, the perfect training spot for all their Pokémon. They're excited to get started and improve their skills, especially with the upcoming battles against the Hoenn Gym Leaders.

As they make their way through the valley, Ash and friends come across a young boy, Timmy, who is struggling to train his Rhyhorn. Despite his best efforts, Timmy can't seem to get his Pokémon to listen and obey him. Ash sees this as an opportunity to lend a helping hand and offer his assistance.

Ash takes Timmy and Rhyhorn under his wing, determined to help them both improve. But he quickly realizes that this won't be an easy task. Rhyhorn is not only disobedient but also fiercely independent and stubborn. Every time Ash tries to teach Rhyhorn a new move or technique, the Pokémon resists and does the exact opposite of what it's supposed to do.

Meanwhile, Brock is having his own troubles with his Steelix. Although Steelix is powerful, it's lacking in speed and agility, two things that Brock thinks are essential for any Gym Leader's Pokémon. With this in mind, he sets out to train Steelix in a series of high-speed drills and exercises.

Misty, on the other hand, is focusing on her water-type Pokémon. She takes her Psyduck and Staryu to the river, where they can practice their swimming and diving skills. As they dive deeper and deeper, Misty watches as her Pokémon become more and more comfortable in the water, growing stronger and more confident with each passing minute.

As Ash continues to train Rhyhorn, he realizes that the key to success is to understand Rhyhorn's personality and work with it, rather than against it. Rhyhorn is a proud and courageous Pokémon, and it likes to take charge. Ash learns that by giving Rhyhorn the opportunity to lead, it becomes more willing to follow commands and learn new skills.

With this in mind, Ash and Timmy devise a training plan that puts Rhyhorn in charge. They set up a series of obstacles and challenges that require Rhyhorn to use its strength and intelligence to overcome. As Rhyhorn succeeds in each task, it grows more confident and obedient, and it begins to develop a deep bond of trust with Timmy.

Meanwhile, Brock's training with Steelix is starting to pay off. Although the Pokémon is still slow, it's getting faster and more agile with each passing day. Brock is pleased with the progress and knows that Steelix will be a formidable opponent for any challenger.

As they all continue to train and grow, Ash and his gang realize that success in Pokémon battles is not just about power and strength. It's also about understanding your Pokémon's individual strengths and weaknesses, and finding ways to work with them to achieve greatness.

The gang eventually moves on from Fennel Valley, ready to face the challenges ahead. They all feel more confident and prepared than ever before, thanks to the valuable lessons they learned during their time in the valley. No matter what obstacles may come their way, they know that they have the skills and the determination to overcome them.
