Continuing to Nimbasa City, Ash and friends have come across a large city where they decide to take a break. They run into Bianca who tells them that there is going to be a fishing competition in the town. Cilan becomes excited by the contest and immediately wants to enter, prompting Ash and Iris to also join in. Unknown to the group though, the contest is a fake contest set up by Team Rocket so they can steal all of the Pokémon the contestants capture.
