Episode 12 "Navel Maneuvers"
They land on Navel Island, where Ash plans on earning his 2nd Orange League badge. They see a guy ride in on a boat. His name is Danny, and he introduces himself to the group, taking a liking to Misty. They go to the bottom of the mountain where they find a cable car and a small sign. Anyone who wants to compete for the badge must climb the mountain without the help of any Pokémon. Tracey and Misty took the cable car to the top of the mountain to meet Ash and Danny at the top. While climbing, they see Misty and Tracey slowly riding up, cheering them on, although Misty was more interested in seeing Danny get to the top, Ash gets distracted and when some rock crumbles below his feet begins to fall. He grabs on, and almost calls out Bulbasaur to help, but is reminded by Danny not to, so he doesn't. Ash and Danny slowly make it to the top, when they get there Tracey and Misty are happy to see them, Misty again more interested in seeing Danny okay. They then realize Danny is going to be Ash's opponent as Danny is in a sense the gym leader. Ash must win two out of three competitions to earn the badge. They begin by determining who's Pokémon can freeze all the water gushing out of a geyser the fastest. Danny wins with his Nidoqueen, so they start the 2nd competition. The first one to carve a small ice sled out of ice is the winner. Ash uses Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Charizard. Although Misty and Tracey believe using Charizard was a mistake, but after a little pleading from Ash, Charizard carves out the ice block in three single fire blasts, making Ash the winner of the 2nd competition. The final was to use the ice sled to race down the mountain to the finish line. They began down the hill, and Ash got out of control. Danny pulled far ahead until he fell into a trap by Team Rocket. Ash stopped to check on him, and they used the opportunity to get Pikachu. Dan was able to stop them with his Electrode, which exploded in their balloon. They restarted the ice-sled race from the middle where they left off, and Danny pulled ahead once again. Ash got caught in the bushes and it seemed hopeless until he pulled out of the trees right beside Danny. They were close until Ash started spinning out of control again, but spun his way right through the goal and into the water. Ash received the sea ruby badge for his efforts as well Danny was glad to give it to him.

Episode 13 "Snack Attack"
The gang continue traveling through the waters, as they come near a group of islands called the Grapefruit islands because they grow lots of grapefruit. They land on the island and take a grapefruit off of a tree. They see a girl named Ruby approaching them that is chasing a thief, and they soon realize, that they're the thieves. After sorting that all out, she allows them the grapefruit and tells about someone who's been stealing the grapefruits on the island. She's called by some guys who found the thief, and they discover a Snorlax on the scene. They try to stop it, but are flung away. They try cutting down all the Grapefruits and guarding them, but Snorlax eats them anyway. Soon, it starts swimming toward the next island to start on the grapefruits there. Meanwhile, Team Rocket stumbles upon the grapefruit and decide to steal some. They are getting away until Snorlax stops them, and then the group arrive. They try several different methods to stop Snorlax, they try to put it to sleep, but nothing works. They realize that Jigglypuff would be the perfect Pokémon to put Snorlax to sleep, so they set up a stage, set out several color felt-tip markers ^_^, and they begin cheering for Jigglypuff. When Jigglypuff arrives, she immediately begins to sing, and Ash rushes away upon Snorlax collapsing in sleep, just in time to catch it, before he falls asleep. Once all asleep, Jigglypuff scribbles on everyone's faces with her new color felt-tip markers. After waking up, Ruby gives them a bag of candied Grapefruit peels, and they also notice that where Snorlax went there are new Grapefruit trees sprouting which will yield a great harvest next year.

That night, Team Rocket break into the museum and steal the trophy, getting past all the security lasers they head out, but James trips and falls on his face leaving an imprint of himself and the trophy on the ground. Later the next day, they don't know who could've done it, but Ash and the group notice legs sticking out of a bush, and notice Team Rocket behind the bush. They were totally wasted from the celebration the previous night after celebrating and from their talking they unintentionally admit to stealing it, then when they realize Ash's group was there, they try to deny it, and soon run off catching a small Seadra pedal-boat. They enter a fog, and discover a tall ship, they decide to board the ship to hide. On the ship, they discover it's haunted by ghosts.

Anyway, Squirtle water gun's them off again, but Meowth was hiding, and when he comes out, Squirtle blasts him too, sending him flying off way far to an island where a group of people worship him to bring them money. They offer a banquet of food and good treatment bowing before him "Hail the Meowth of bounty!". The following morning, he is dissatisfied that he has no meatballs. So, they deliver him a large box filled with meatballs in neat little slots. He demands entertainment, so they bring out the girl's to be dancers and he melts away. Later on, he's playing his banjo and spots Ash's group headed towards the island, fearing he'll be found out as part of Team Rocket and being condemned by the villagers, he asks them to get rid of the kids on the Lapras, that they'll bring bad fortune and luck to the people. So, they bring out the large golden Meowth which chases them away. Later Team Rocket find their way to the island, and shown to Meowth so he can decide what to do with them.

Ash is hungry, so they go for lunch. Tracey finds a brochure saying that a seminar is being given later that day by the famous Prima(Lorelei of the elite four! I will refer to her as Lorelei for the rest of this summary). Misty is thrilled to know Lorelei is coming to the island, that she uses water and ice Pokémon. Lorelei just happens to be walking by where they are, and Ash nearly chokes on what he's eating. Tracey and Misty are really excited telling her how great she is, but she completely ignores them talking to Togepi. Team Rocket is spying on them, and James thinks he's seen her somewhere before. Ash tries to challenge her to a battle, but she just keeps saying random things about the wind, and the sun. So, Ash decides to go challenge someone else. Ash's Squirtle battles against a Persian that knows a thunderbolt attack, and it nearly gets Squirtle, but he's okay and beats the Persian. So, the trainer uses a Tauros and beats Squirtle. Ash chooses Charizard, and after being taunted by Tauros, beats it. Then Charizard goes psycho on everyone leaving Lorelei to stop it with her Slowbro. Before leaving she invites the group to attend her seminar. At the show later that day, she demonstrates how good she is at battle by having a few. After the show, she has the group over to her house to talk. Tracey and Misty are really thrilled about it. Ash wants to battle again, he wants to prove he can beat someone as good as Lorelei. Lorelei finally agrees to a battle, so Pikachu goes against Cloyster and after a tough battle, and a lot of electricity, still manages to loose. Team Rocket then enter the scene, having decided to take Pikachu while it's down. Lorelei doesn't let them and has Jynx use an ice beam.
