As Ash and his friends continue their journey through the Johto region, they stumble upon a small town that's in the midst of a major water crisis. The residents of this town are at odds with each other over a disagreement regarding the town's water supply.

In this episode titled "The Pokémon Water War," Ash and his friends learn that a drought has caused the town's river to dry up, leaving the residents without a source of fresh water. The town is split into two factions, one of whom believes that they should divert the water from a nearby lake to the town, while the other says that it would harm the local Pokémon's habitat.

Amidst these tensions, the kids meet Oliver, a young boy who's a member of the pro-lake faction. Oliver is desperate to find a solution to the water crisis, so his town's Pokémon can start thriving again. He believes that the lake is the best source of water, but his opponents believe otherwise.

Despite all the disagreements, Ash, Misty, and Brock are determined to resolve the conflict. They offer to help both factions come up with a solution that would benefit everyone and ensure the safety of the town's Pokémon. Their plan is to investigate the lake and see if it's a viable water source for the town.

As the group heads out on their exploration, they soon encounter a group of aggressive water-type Pokémon that dislike their presence. They quickly realize that the Pokémon of the lake are ready for battle, and the group must work together to navigate through the lake safely.

The evil organization has released a multitude of Pokémon that have been artificially enhanced by technology to drain the area's water supply. The group joins forces to stop them and save the Pokémon's habitat by neutralizing Team Rocket's operation and restoring the natural flow of the river.

In the end, the group discovers an underground spring located beneath the lake, which can provide clean water to the town without harming the Pokémon's habitat.
