Ash and friends fall victim to a prank by a group of unruly Squirtle known as the Squirtle Squad--but after a confrontation with Team Rocket, the squad's leader decides to join Ash's team! They have many adventures together, including a visit to an island inhabited by Wartortle and Blastoise, a tough battle at the Trovita Gym, and an encounter with some firefighting Pokemon! Although Squirtle eventually re-joins the Squirtle Squad, it returns to battle in the Johto League. Later, Ash's friend May catches an adorable Squirtle of her own--can it hold its own in Pokemon Contests?
