As Ash and his friends walk towards Bluefinland, Misty spots four Corsola, a Pokémon she desperately wants to catch for herself, swimming nearby. Brock reveals the Corsola are headed towards Pudgy Pidgey Isle, so Misty demands a boat to reach them. A local man, Wilbur, overhears the conversation and reveals that he can take the group across. He shows them to a rope bridge to avoid the swirling whirlpools below. Despite a strong gust of wind everyone makes it onto Pudgy Pidgey Isle. Afterward, Wilbur calls out and a flock of Pidgey come towards him for food. The Pidgey don’t look normal, they are particularly chubby. Wilbur explains that these Pidgey have no natural predators because the island is protected by the whirlpools, and therefore they have no need to fly, hence their larger bodies. Team Rocket scopes them out from above, seeing that there could be another good catch for the day.
