Ash, Pikachu, and their friends continue their adventures through the Hoenn region in Pokemon the Series season 7 episode 44, titled "Who's Flying Now?". The episode opens with Ash and his friends encountering a group of Pelipper, flying Pokémon known for their strong wings and ability to carry heavy objects. After observing their graceful flight, Ash decides that it's time to teach his Swellow how to carry passengers mid-flight.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is watching from a distance and devises a plan to capture Pikachu once again. They create a giant magnet to lure Pikachu into their trap, but the magnet ends up attracting all of the nearby Pokémon, including Swellow, Pelipper, and the entire group of Ash's friends.

As the Pokémon are dragged towards the magnet, they soon realize that the only way to escape is to work together. This includes having Swellow carry some of the group in its powerful talons, and even Ash himself, who gets a chance to experience the thrill of flying mid-air. The Pelipper also come to the rescue by flapping their powerful wings to provide assistance.

In the midst of the chaos, Pikachu is able to use its Thunderbolt attack to destroy the magnet and free the captured Pokémon. But Team Rocket is not finished yet, and they launch a second plan to capture Pikachu using a giant mechanical hand.

Once again, the Pokémon band together to take down the robot and free Pikachu. They combine their strongest attacks to create a powerful gust of wind that sends Team Rocket blasting off again. In the end, the trainers and their Pokémon are all safe and exhausted from the intense battle.

As they continue on their journey, Ash and his friends reflect on the power of teamwork and their strong bonds with their Pokémon. They are reminded that no matter what challenges they may face, they can always count on their Pokémon for support.
