Ash finally arrives on Navel Island for his second Gym Battle. On the island, they meet Danny, the gym leader. Like the previous gym, Danny's gym is run a little differently. Instead of a battle Ash must complete a few tests. The first one involves climbing up the mountain in the center of the island. Despite having a tough time, Ash makes it to the top. Now comes the real challenge. Ash must freeze a geyser, and use it to slide back down the mountain before Danny in order to win his badge.

Ash, Tracey and Misty find more excitement than they bargain for when they reach their next destination. Professor Oak tells them that divers have recovered an Orange League Championship trophy off the coast of Moro Island that dates back over two hundred years! The trophy is on display at the Moro Island Museum of Art for all to see. By the time they get to the museum, Team Rocket has already broken in and stolen the trophy and Ash, Misty, and Tracey must find them and get the trophy back.
