Chapter 3: As Rocky was heade to Jubilife City, Lucario got out of his pokeball. Rocky asked Lucario why he came out. Lucario replied using telepathy "It's too cramped in that pokeball, master. Do you mind if I travel with you outside of my pokeball?" Rocky said it was okay. Rocky and Lucario were walking down the path to their destination, when they saw Ash fighting Paul. It looked like the fight was almost over. Ash was using a Pikachuand Paul was using a Torterra. Torterra finished the battle with a Frenzy Plant attack. Pal called back his pokemon and started insulting Ash.Rocky ran to Ash and threatened Paul to leave or get blasted by Lucario's Aura Sphere. Paul walked off and Rocky pulled Ash up to his feetand offered him to join his travels. Ash said that he needed to travel alone. Rocky and Lucario started walking again. When they got to Jubilife City, They were greeted by the town mayor. He gave Rocky a Poketch and told him about a contest. Rocky thought that a contest wouldn't hurt before a gym battle.
