==Plot==
Under the water on , , along with Poli and , are searching for something with the Itemfinder. The machine beeps more and more, indicating he's getting close to what he's looking for.
Back in a flashback, at a Pokémon Center, informs Red about the five attacks that his Pokémon can learn from Hidden Machines, of which he's so far found three. , , and , which were respectively taught to Saur, Pika, and Snor, and Red confirms that the two left are and . 
Back in the present, Red is eager to find HM03 so he can get to the Seafoam Islands, especially since he knows that has already found it ahead of him. Suddenly, he finds the Hidden Machine laying just in front of him, only a few more moments away, when suddenly a swarm of Pokémon rush past them, eagerly swimming away. Red, at first distracted by the swarm, suddenly turns back to notice a just behind them. With a single flick of its tail, the Dragonite launches Red and his Pokémon out of the water onto a nearby small, rocky island.
Red thinks over his options, concluding his best option is to somehow get Dragonite out of the water. Saur wraps his vines around Pika and lower him into the water. Pika thinks back to Red's instructions just moments prior, simply asking him to pester the Dragonite for a while. Pika, looking nervous, unleashes an attack, baiting the Dragonite into giving chase after him. On cue, Red has Saur pull Pika out of the water, both him and the Dragonite surfacing at once. Red calls on Snor, and the two Pokémon begin grappling with each other.
Struggling under their combined weight, the boulder they are fighting on crumbles under them, disorienting both Snor and the Dragonite. Red takes the opportunity to go for the Hidden Machine, while Dragonite quickly takes notice and fires an attack towards him. As he narrowly dodges, the attack directly strikes the Hidden Machine, destroying it instantly.

He runs out of air, floating limply as suddenly a appears in front of him in his defense against the Dragonite. 
Red is rescued by Misty, who he believes to be a mermaid in his delirium, as her Gyarados fights off the enemy. After surfacing, Red notices that his weight is being supported by a . As Red remembers back to his time with Misty, wondering if these are her Pokémon, Dragonite prepares a . Quickly alerting Gyarados, he fires back a Hyper Beam of his own, creating a massive explosion of energy as they clash. The two Pokémon, both exhausted, stare at each other, before the Dragonite soon falls into the water. 
Misty comes back ashore on Gyarados, holding the broken Hidden Machine in her hand. She chastises Red for being so reckless, pointing out that it could've ended much worse if she wasn't there. She offers to help Red cross the water, and they both give each other a thumbs-up.
