Summary:
Satoshi and his friends have arrived in Tokiwa City. Their target: A Green Badge from Tokiwa Gym.

This will be the 8th of the badges required to participate in the Pokémon League for Satoshi, and he's unable to hide his determined fighting spirit. But then his rival Shigeru suddenly appears.

Shigeru tells them he has already managed to obtain an entire 10 badges and is currently on his way back to Masara Town, but that he decided to come here to test his skills against Tokiwa Gym's Leader. He then immediately rushes into the Gym.

Greatly agitated at once again having been surpassed by Shigeru, Satoshi accidentally ends up throwing Togepi into the air. Thus, the search for the lost Togepi is on.
