While heading to the Village of Dragons, Ash and friends come across two brothers named Soren and Rocko who want to have a battle. The two of them are tag battle partners who work well together. Ash and Cilan battle them, and after some very close calls with the duo's tag moves, manage to defeat them. The two brothers become saddened, not knowing what to do now that they have lost. Cilan suggests that the two of them find Water-type Pokémon so they can complete their tag battle strategy. With this in mind everyone heads off to a nearby river hoping to find some Water-type Pokémon.
