==Synopsis==
Daniel is on his way to Celadon City for his next badge and on his way toward the city, he encounters Megan who has left Celadon City upon defeating its gym leader. Since they are both trainers, Daniel and Megan decide to battle. When they are down to their last Pokemon, they are interrupted by a sudden toxic smog. Daniel and Megan find the source of the smog: a Slugma that is being harassed by wild Pokemon who are seeking Slugma's warmth. Megan and Daniel investigate why Slugma is at the foot of the mountain where it is hottest at the top. They reason that Slugma must have fallen. The two trainers decide to work together to bring Slugma home with the help of their Pokemon. Along the way, Megan and Slugma particularly bond; when they reach the top, Slugma wishes to stay with Megan, and Megan happily adds the Fire-Type to her team. Megan and Daniel travel down the mountain, and they want to continue their battle but are too tired to do so. They agree to have a rematch in the future. they depart, and Daniel continues on his way to Celadon City where Yazmyne and Dante bump into him. Yazmyne is thrilled to see Daniel again and requests a battle, but Daniel politely declines as he and his Pokemon need to rest. Daniel then joins the pair into the city.
