Kellyn captured Floatzel after they were attacked by J's henchmen. Kellyn and Riolu used it to cross the lake, escaping from J's henchmen and their Sharpedo. Kellyn, Riolu, Ash Ketchum and his friends encountered Pokémon Hunter J and her Salamence. Salamence attacked them with Hyper Beam and Kellyn ordered Floatzel to use Water Gun, hitting Salamence's wing. J and Salamence were brought out of balance but they were able to separate Riolu from Kellyn and Floatzel.
