==Summary==
Despite earning the Insight Badge, Yazmyne is unhappy by how unprepared she and her Pokemon were to face Cleo's strategies. She understands that she and her Pokemon still have a lot of training to do and Yazmyne pushes her Pokemon to increase their speed and learn new attacks with Dante's Beedrill and Paras as their training partners. Yazmyne proves a bit unyielding in her training methods, needing Dante to calm her down and give her Pokemon a break when they need one. Yazmyne agrees especially since Staryu learned Cosmic Power and that Spinarak has mastered Spider Web. During the break, Bulbasaur keeps training refusing to even eat. Yazmyne has begun teaching Bulbasaur Energy Ball. She explains that Bulbasaur should relax since mastering Energy Ball will take more than one or two training sessions. Even so, Bulbasaur is adamant about mastering his new attack.
Yazmyne becomes worried and Dante reminds her that Bulbasaur does not actually require food to live. All they need is sunlight and water. Even so, Yazmyne tries to force Bulbasaur to at least drink water. Bulbasaur flails about with his vines and hits Yazmyne a few times before running away. Yazmyne chases after him but she cannot keep up. Yazmyne orders Butterfree to follow, which he does. Bulbasaur runs to some part of a forest and resumes training Energy Ball. During the training, Bulbasaur begins to recall his defeat to Cleo's Gastly, which has been upsetting him tremendously. During his training, Bulbasaur accidentally disturbs a Nidoking and a Nidoqueen. They battle and Bulbasaur is horribly and easily defeated. When Butterfree finds Bulbasaur, he sees him treating his wounds and flies back to Yazmyne.
Meanwhile, Yazmyne tries to understand why her Bulbasaur would be so aggressive. Dante says that Bulbasaur's defeat against Cleo has been his first defeat and he's clearly not taking it well. Yazmyne says that she has lost a few battles, but she had never lost with Bulbasaur. Butterfree returns to Yazmyne and Dante, who run to Bulbasaur's location. They see Bulbasaur weakly treating his wounds. Bulbasaur is angry at himself and does not want Yazmyne touching him. Dante gives Yazmyne the OK to be unyielding. Bulbasaur is restrained with Butterfree's Confusion and Spinarak's Spider Web. Yazmyne uses her potions to treat her restrained Pokemon and force feeds him water. The experience leaves Bulbasaur even angrier, but he's too tired to run away. Yazmyne talks to her Pokemon about his defeat and that he can use it to make him stronger. Dante returns back to base camp with Yazmyne's other Pokemon while she stays in the forest with Bulbasaur and Butterfree for extra protection.
Yazmyne and Bulbasaur train together, and he masters Energy Ball. Bulbasaur finds the Nidoqueen and Nidoking who defeated him. Bulbasaur is joined by Butterfree in a double battle against the two Pokemon, but even with Yazmyne's commands, the two Pokemon are too strong. Refusing to be defeated, Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur and he rejoins Butterfree to finally defeat the two fully-evolved Pokemon.
