Going to the Indigo League, Ash, Brock and Misty encounter Otoshi, who wants to have a battle, but the stakes are the Gym Badges. Though Ash wins, Otoshi did not have Gym Badges because Team Rocket stole them. Though they encounter James and Meowth, they reply Jessie stole the images. Worse yet, Otoshi's Marowak abandons him for not finding the badges. Ash, Misty and Brock go to get Otoshi's badges and get Marowak back for him.
