Episode Location: A town close to Asatsuki Town.
Episode Highlights:
- Satoshi and his friends continue to travel towards Asatsuki Town for Hikari's next Pokémon Contest.
- Rocket Gang is shown to be following Satoshi and his friends, wanting, once again, to steal Satoshi's Pikachu using one of their mechas (Kamex-kun, in this case). Fukamaru appears, though, and thwarts their plans by eating their mecha.
- En route to Asatsuki Town, Satoshi and his friends reach a town (the name of which isn't mentioned in the episode), and while there, they come across the wild Fukamaru they had previously met at Grandma Tatsu's place.
- Fukamaru shows signs of wanting to join Satoshi's team, but when Satoshi tries to catch it with a monster ball, it eats it instead of letting itself be captured.
- Junsa tells Satoshi and his friends that Fukamaru has caused an uproar by munching on various things in the town, leaving them bitten and destroyed in the end.
- Jun appears and is revealed to have earned six badges so far. He is also shown to have gotten a bike, which Fukamaru eats afterwards, and a priority ticket in order to challenge the Yosuga Gym when Melissa returns.
- Rocket Gang start working on a plan so that they can catch Fukamaru and then give it to their boss, Sakaki.
- Jun, furious that his bike was destroyed, uses his Emperte in order to battle Fukamaru and then capture it. Fukamaru gets hit by a Hydro Cannon attack, though, in the process, and blasts off.
- Satoshi goes after it, and manages to save it in the end.
- However, Rocket Gang appears shortly after, and steals Fukamaru with their repaired mecha, Recycled-Kamex-kun.
- Satoshi goes after Rocket Gang in order to save Fukamaru again, and manages to do so with the help of his Pikachu.
- Fukamaru then lets itself be captured by Satoshi to show its gratitude towards him for saving it from Rocket Gang.
- After that, Jun challenges Satoshi in a Pokémon battle. Jun chooses Emperte and Satoshi chooses his newly-caught Fukamaru. Even though Fukamaru puts up a great fight at first, it ends up losing to Emperte after it stopped listening to Satoshi's orders towards the end of the battle.

Character Bios written:
- {{Char=A-Gible}}: Fukamaru followed {{Char=Ash}} and co. all the way to the next town they reached en route to Asatsuki Town. There, after thwarting Rocket Gang's plans (who were also secretly following {{Char=Ash}} and his friends in hopes of catching {{Char=Pikachu}} with their new mecha) in an unorthodox way as it actually ate Kamex-kun, it appeared before {{Char=Ash}}, showing signs of willingness to be captured. However, when he threw a monster ball at it, it ate it instead of letting itself be caught.
Later, the town's {{Char=Jenny}} appeared and informed {{Char=Ash}}, {{Char=Dawn}} and {{Char=Brock}} that Fukamaru had been causing an uproar by munching on various things in the town, leaving them bitten and destroyed. {{Char=Ash}} then scolded Fukamaru, but the Land Shark Pokémon didn't seem to understand what he said, as it kept biting on things. It even went as far as to eat {{Char=Barry}}'s bike, who bumped into {{Char=Ash}} when he was chasing after Fukamaru. {{Char=Barry}}, furious that he lost his bike, called upon his Emperte in order to battle and catch it. A powerful Hydro Cannon attack, though, coming from {{Char=J-Empoleon}} sent Fukamaru blasting off. {{Char=Ash}} then went after it, and managed to save it from falling down a cliff, only to lose it again, this time because of Rocket Gang. In the end, though, {{Char=Pikachu}} assisted him in destroying Rocket Gang's repaired mecha (Recycled-Kamex-kun), and Fukamaru let itself be caught by {{Char=Ash}} in order to show it gratitude to him for saving it.
{{Char=Barry}}, seeing that {{Char=Ash}} managed to catch Fukamaru before him, became angry and challenged {{Char=Ash}} to a battle. {{Char=Barry}} chose his Emperte and {{Char=Ash}} chose his newly-caught Fukamaru. Even though at first {{Char=A-Gible}} put up a great fight against his overall stronger opponent, managing to dodge some of {{Char=J-Empoleon}}'s moves, it stopped listening to {{Char=Ash}}'s orders towards the end of the battle and that led to its defeat. It promised, however, to be more obedient from then on.
- {{Char=Barry}}: {{Char=Barry}} bumped into {{Char=Ash}} when he was chasing after Fukamaru in a town near Asatsuki Town. It was revealed then that he had already won six badges, and to have gotten a priority ticket in order to challenge Melissa of the Yosuga Gym. He had also gotten a bike in order to be able to travel from town to town faster, but {{Char=A-Gible}} (who was still a wild Fukamaru at the time) ate it while he was talking with {{Char=Ash}}. Then, furious that he lost his bike, {{Char=Barry}} called upon his Emperte to battle it so that he would be able to catch Fukamaru in the end. A powerful Hydro Cannon attack coming from {{Char=J-Empoleon}}, though, sent it flying, thus ruining {{Char=Barry}}'s attempt at a capture. {{Char=Barry}} later appeared and challenged {{Char=Ash}} to a battle, after seeing that he had managed to catch Fukamaru before him. {{Char=Barry}} chose his Emperte and {{Char=Ash}} chose his newly-caught Fukamaru. Due to {{Char=J-Empoleon}} being overall stronger than his opponent and Fukamaru's disobedience towards {{Char=Ash}} during the fight, {{Char=Barry}} managed to score a win over {{Char=Ash}}.
- {{Char=J-Empoleon}}: {{Char=J-Empoleon}} also appeared when {{Char=Barry}} wanted to battle {{Char=A-Gible}} (who was still a wild Fukamaru at the time) so that he could catch it in the end. One of its powerful Hydro Cannon attacks, though, sent it flying, thus ruining {{Char=Barry}}'s attempt at a capture. It later re-appeared battling against {{Char=A-Gible}} when {{Char=Barry}} challenged {{Char=Ash}} to a battle. Due to it being overall stronger than its opponent and Fukamaru's disobedience towards {{Char=Ash}} during the fight, it managed to knock out its opponent.
