Ash catches the cold badge, while Snorunt puts the badge case inside its "cloak" and uses Double Team. Ash goes to take it, but Snorunt throws it and freezes it with Icy Wind. Snorunt comes to a dead end and Ash demands his badges. Ash sends Corphish to help him get his badge case back. Snorunt takes Ash's badge case, though Joy tells them it is a prank and will give the badges back, but Ash points out he worked hard for the badges and will not allow them to be just played around. Joy greets Snorunt and explains some Pokémon visit the Center on their own. The Pokémon is Snorunt, which May finds adorable. Brock begins to flirt with Nurse Joy, though a Pokémon freezes him. The gang arrived to Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy gives them a place to stay in before the snowstorm. After finding the Pokémon Center, Ash runs towards it and his friends follow him, while a Pokémon from afar watches them. May worries it will snow again, though Brock plans they all will go down to the Pokémon Center, then to catch a ship to Sootopolis City. The heroes arrive in the snowy part of Izabe Island. Will he be able to get them back or will he have to train all over again?
At the Center, a wild Snorunt steals all 7 of Ash’s Badges. Still heading for Cerosi Town and the ferry to Sootopolis City, Ash and his friends stop at a Pokémon Center to stay warm as a blizzard approaches.
