Meanwhile, back in the Team Toxic HQ, Team Rocket (Jessie, James and Meowth) has reached the Team Toxic and relays the new information to Craven. Although initially concerned that Jessie was looking for Pokémon, Craven becomes converned when she hears the full story, remembering what the Riogo Gym Leaders once stood for before Giovanni took advantage of his team. He concocts a scheme to take down as many Pokémon as he and the other villains can before the new Pokémon Trainers is formed, starting that very night.
Meanwhile, Ash and his friends has assembled a group of gym leaders which they believes best fit the criteria for being members of the Lion Guard. He and his friends first stop Melanie as she attempts to score some counting, claiming her as the bug-type gym leader. They then Wendy, who is getting her friends a bouquet of flowers, as the grass-type gym leader. Then Susie, who is on rollerskates, as the rock-type gym leader. Then Paula, who loves reading and yearns for a life, as the water-type gym leader. Then Jill, who is sitting in a tree, as the psychic-type gym leader. Then Amy, who is surfing at the beach, as the water-type gym leader, too. Then Becky and Sandra playing badminton, as the ice-type gym leader. Lastly, they track down Laura as she tried to get away from some Scythers after accidentally offending them. After Euopliny blocks them from chasing her, she apologizes, and one of them, Scyther, accepts. Ash sees her as the all type gym leader. Ash thanks everyone for meeting with him, and explains the reason he's brought them all together. Laura is annoyed at first by the name, since Lugia seem to 'lord over all the other pokémon' and wishes to see the new starter member, which leads Ash to persuade Pikachu to show the Zap Cannon. Pikachu is shesitant, as he does not wish to abuse his power like Devitro. However, when Pikachu attempts to Zap Cannon just for this occasion, all he can manage is a most powerful. 
Meanwhile, Pichu Bros. arrive at the furrets grounds. Although Smoochum assumes that they would be charming them, Wooper explains to her that they would be no better than the Team Toxic if they attacked for no reason. They soon see Team Rocket and become suspicious, and their suspicious are raised when the Team Toxic appear. Pichu sends the others back to get their family. 
Just then, Ash calls Cody and Taylor, and tells them that the Team Toxic are attacking the herd of furrets. Ash and his friends rush off to find the rest of the gym leaders. The gym leaders watch on, as Mealnie explains that Team Rocket is telling the Team Toxic which one to attack next. They soon realise that the Team Toxic, having already defeated two furets, are hunting for sport. Ash soon arrives, having heard their words, and tells them that he doesn't care if they're not all Pokémon, and that this was the Pokémon Trainers for him. Although Taylor is quick to leap in, he is stopped by Ash, who has a plan. Ash then goes against his wishes and give them the Mark of the Riogo Pokémon Trainers. Together, they rush into action. 
Everyone quietly make their way down to the furret's grazing grounds, before launching a surprise attack with Ash at the front of the group. With Melanie taking care of Team Rocket, the rest of the group focus on the Team Toxic. The Team Toxic soon start to make a desperate retreat. Professor Oliver arrive just in time to see the new Riogo Pokémon Team chase the villains away. 
Although they assume that their work is done, it turns out that two Pichu Bros. is still in danger. Azumarill points out that the herd is charging right for Pichu Bros., who is hiding behind a rock. She slips and leaving everyone concerned. Cody has an idea, and asks Laura to get him close. Melanie's Jinglefly then scouts ahead, and, when close enough, Cody's Dolok leaps onto the rock protecting the two Pichu Bros.. He turns around, and using Sweet Scent, which causes the furrets to part ways. The two Pichu Bros. thanks Cody's Dolok, and returns to the others. 
With the two Pichu Bros. safe, the Riogo Pokémon Trainers approaches Team Toxic. As Craven taunts Ash, the imbecile child makes it clear that the Riogo Pokémon Trainer is there to defend the whole land. Ash's Pikachu using the Zap Cannon, and the Team Toxic scramble back to the Team Toxic HQ. After witnessing the whole event, Professor Oliver assures everyone that he is ready.
