The episode opens as Jimmy and his {{TP|Jimmy|Typhlosion}} prepare to battle {{jo|Shinji}} and his {{p|Hitmonlee}}. Hitmonlee begins with a {{m|Jump Kick}}, which Typhlosion blocks by grabbing Hitmonlee's leg. Hitmonlee then uses his other leg to hit Typhlosion with {{m|Rolling Kick}}. Typhlosion easily recovers, so Hitmonlee jumps up high and uses {{m|Mega Kick}}. Typhlosion counters with Flamethrower, which engulfs Hitmonlee for a knockout. Jimmy does a "high-paw" with Typhlosion as the small audience cheers. As Jimmy and his opponent graciously shake hands and swear to battle again, the narrator talks about the wonders of the [[Pokémon world]] and the rare power that is {{p|Raikou}}.

Meanwhile, a helicopter enters one of Team Rocket's secret hideouts hidden under a mountain range. Hun introduces Attila to Professor Sebastian, who shows them an item known as ''The Miracle Crystal''. Sebastian demonstrates the crystal's ability to attract and manipulate all nearby electricity. Hun notes that it now won't be long until unlimited power is in their hands.

As Jimmy continues on his journey, he stops by at a [[Pokémon Center]], where Nurse Joy heals all his Pokémon. He stays in the Center to groom Typhlosion, complimenting it on its strength. He then hears a familiar voice, and sees Marina talking on the phone to Vincent. Her {{p|Misdreavus}} (nicknamed [[Little Miss]]) and Vincent notice Jimmy, but it takes Marina a moment to remember him. When she does, she is enthusiastic to see him again. Before the call ends, Vincent quietly tells Jimmy that he wants Marina to be his girlfriend and Jimmy, who has a crush on her, shouldn't try to take her away. Already not enthused to see Vincent again, Jimmy hangs up on him.

Jimmy wants to battle one-on-one, but Marina insists on using two Pokémon each. Marina sends out {{DL|Marina (Johto)|Little Pink}}, her {{p|Jigglypuff}}, while Jimmy sends out Beedrill, which Marina recognizes from when it was a {{p|Weedle}}. Little Pink starts out with {{m|Sing}}, but it fails as the beating of Beedrill's wings blocks sound waves before they reach its ears. Beedrill uses {{m|Agility}} followed by {{m|Twineedle}}. Little Pink inflates to rise into the air, and is able to dodge Beedrill thanks to its many dance lessons. While Marina talks about turning it into a routine, Beedrill launches a {{m|Pin Missile}}, which makes Little Pink faint.

Next, Marina sends out [[Wani-Wani]], her {{p|Croconaw}}, while Jimmy returns Beedrill and sends out Typhlosion. As the battle begins, thunderclouds start to build up. Wani-Wani uses {{m|Water Gun}}, and Typhlosion charges into it. Typhlosion survives the attack and uses {{m|Quick Attack}}, but a bolt of lightning shoots down between them. Jimmy tells the Pokémon to go back to the Pokémon Center, but they go the wrong way. Typhlosion and Wani-Wani are successfully recalled, but Little Miss gets too far ahead.

As Jimmy and Marina chase after Little Miss, the source of the thunder is revealed to be the crystal. Under the control of Attila, Hun, and a mecha, it is now attracting {{t|Electric}} Pokémon from all over the area. There is no sign of Raikou yet, but Hun tells Attila that making trouble with the Pokémon that have appeared will make it more likely for Raikou to turn up. A {{p|Raichu}} tries to stop them, but is quickly defeated by the crystal. Little Miss, Jimmy, and Marina come upon the scene as a separate, yellow-colored cloud begins to appear.

Attila grabs the Raichu and a Mareep using the mecha's robotic claws, and suddenly Raikou appears from the yellow thundercloud. It quickly frees the Raichu and Mareep by destroying the mecha's arms, and all the Electric Pokémon run away. Team Rocket are unfazed and proceed to attack Raikou. Raikou retaliates with a Thunderbolt that is sucked into the crystal. Though it keeps attacking, the powerful Electric attacks are just sent right back. As Hun points out, the more Raikou fights, the stronger Team Rocket get. Raikou collapses, but before Attila can capture it, Jimmy runs forward, telling them to stop. He sends out Typhlosion, while Attila sends out Skarmory and Hun sends out Steelix.

Hun warns Jimmy to "leave now or be destroyed." Jimmy warns Team Rocket to "let Raikou go, or you're in for the fight of your life."

Skarmory begins with {{m|Fury Attack}} while Typhlosion responds with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Steelix counters with {{m|Sandstorm}}, stopping the Flamethrower and causing Typhlosion pain. After Jimmy gives some words of encouragement, Typhlosion begins to make its way over to Steelix, but is hit by Skarmory's {{m|Steel Wing}}.

After Jimmy gives some words of encouragement, Typhlosion endures the Sandstorm and starts making its way over to Steelix, but is hit by Skarmory's {{m|Steel Wing}}.


With Typhlosion defeated, Attila uses the crystal to further weaken Raikou. After seeing Raikou in even more excruciating pain, Marina and Little Miss enter the battle. Steelix goes to use {{m|Bite}}, but Little Miss uses {{m|Perish Song}}. While Skarmory and Steelix are incapacitated by Little Miss, Attila returns his attention to Raikou. Jimmy sends out Beedrill, who destroys the mecha's claws with Pin Missile. With no means to capture Raikou, Attila orders a retreat. After creating a smokescreen, Team Rocket escapes.

Raikou turns to go, but Jimmy calls after it, offering to help it. Raikou hits Jimmy with an electric bolt, throwing him back. Jimmy gets back up again, narrowly missing another attack. The two stare each other down, until Jimmy makes a step forward. Raikou goes to shock him again, but is countered by a blast of flame from Typhlosion. Jimmy assures Raikou that they want to help it, promising that it can trust him. Raikou then collapses.

Back at the Pokémon Center, [[Professor Elm]] tells Marina that there is a danger that Raikou will become withdrawn and depressed and not heal properly because it is in captivity. Marina decides that singing it a song may help, and while Professor Elm admits that that isn't a bad idea, he tells her that the important thing is to set it free as soon as it is healed. News of Raikou spreads, but {{TP|Joy|Chansey}} guards the door so that only Jimmy is allowed to watch Nurse Joy treat the [[legendary Pokémon]]. Meanwhile, Team Rocket work on repairing their machine.

That evening, as Raikou sleeps, Marina tries to cheer Jimmy up. However, a man comes in demanding to see Raikou. Marina becomes enamored with him and asks his name, but then [[Officer Jenny]] leads another man to them. The first man is [[Eusine|Eugene]] and the second is [[Kudo]], and they appear to know each other. Marina is more interested in Eugene's cape, which Eugene informs her no one is permitted to touch.

Eugene explains that Raikou is a legendary Pokémon, making it unique and extraordinary. While it cannot be captured, man has always tried to capture that which they cannot have. As Raikou can control thunder and lightning, the envious feel that capturing it will allow them to control its power, and so men have always hunted Raikou; because of this, Raikou does not trust humans. Kudo says that Raikou thinks that all humans are the same, but Jimmy believes that it can sense who its friends and enemies are.

Kudo says that Raikou thinks that all humans are the same, but Jimmy believes that it can sense who its friends and enemies are.


The following morning, Raikou wakes up and is strong enough to break the glass in the Pokémon Center with electricity. Jimmy introduces himself, but Raikou just sends more electricity his way. As the others appear, Raikou blows a hole in the wall and runs off. The clouds that the crystal created have returned, and Raikou runs right back into Team Rocket's trap. Eugene tells Jimmy and Marina to get into his car so that they can follow it. Meanwhile, Kudo mans the home base and calls Officer Jenny.

As the Raikou jumps into battle, he is hit by the crystal's electricity. But before anyone can release a Pokémon, Steelix uses {{m|Rock Throw}} on Jimmy and Marina. One large rock is heading straight for them, yet before they are hit, a beam from off-screen destroys it. Looking to where the beam came from, they see a {{p|Meganium}} with... Fabu-Lance? No, it's "Fabu-Vinny," their childhood friend Vincent, who has come to save them. Vincent orders Meganium to use {{m|SolarBeam}}, but it barely leaves a mark on Steelix, who retaliates with {{m|Crunch}}, followed by {{m|Iron Tail}} and Rock Throw. Eugene goes to save them, but the falling Rock Throw prevents him from doing so.

Meanwhile, Raikou has collapsed from the electric attacks that the crystal has been hitting it with. Attila then activates the capture bubble, which will causes extreme pain to Raikou if it makes contact. Typhlosion blasts the bubble with flame, which concerns Hun, who explains that the system is only designed to absorb electricity--it doesn't know how to handle any other form of energy. As Typhlosion begins to push the bubble back, Little Miss and Meganium join in with {{m|Psybeam}} and SolarBeam. Steelix tries to use Iron Tail to knock everyone out of the way, but the capture bubble explodes. Attila quickly grabs Raikou and puts it into the cargo hold. Team Rocket fly off, but with Marina trapped inside with Raikou!

Raikou tries to blow its way out, but the walls are non-conductive. It then tries tackling the walls, but they are too strong for that to work, either. Marina tries to calm Raikou down and promises to find a way out. During its rampage, Raikou scrapes away a piece of the floor. Marina sees some wires and yanks them apart, which makes the door open. They are too high up for Marina to be able to safely escape, but since Raikou can make the jump, she encourages it to free itself. Attila activates the emergency override, but Raikou escapes before the door closes. The engines of the aircraft begin to fail as well, causing it to lose altitude. As Team Rocket prepare to get Raikou back, it watches as they move away with Marina still trapped.

Vincent is panicking while Jimmy tries to think of a new plan. Eugene tells him that the first rule of any rescue operation is to remain calm. Jimmy decides to try contacting Marina using Vincent's [[Pokégear]]. They call her and have a brief, frantic exchange of words before Attila breaks Marina's Pokégear. Eugene suggests that they use the call log data to locate where Marina was when the call was made.

Meanwhile, the crystal has been reactivated, alerting Raikou notices. Having seen the dark clouds reappear, Eugene, Jimmy, and Vincent head toward the crystal as well. When they arrive, Vincent demands to see Marina, who is tied up but otherwise okay. Jimmy tells them to let Marina and Raikou go, but Eugene realizes that they don't have Raikou, since the crystal has been activated. Suddenly, a huge bolt of lightning hits the crystal, and it seems that Raikou is fighting the battle from outside of the crystal's range. Raikou is stronger than ever, but the group is right in the line of fire.

As electricity reflects off of the crystal and fires everywhere, Marina falls from the cliff she was on, but is rescued by Beedrill. Attila releases Skarmory to attack Beedrill with Steel Wing, making it drop Marina. Both Jimmy and Vincent run to catch her, but Vincent trips and lands on his face, with Marina landing on top of him. Jimmy ensures that Marina is okay, but Vincent interrupts to remind them that he is the one that Marina fell on. Hun then cuts in by ordering Steelix to use Iron Tail. Just as Eugene is about to save them, Raikou comes in and attacks Steelix head-on. Raikou then attacks Attila's mecha, tearing the control panel apart. Skarmory swoops down with a {{m|Sky Attack}}, but Raikou runs away as the control panel explodes, blasting Skarmory back. The purple glow around the crystal disappears.

The group wonders why Raikou risked battling face-to-face when it had been attacking from above beforehand. Jimmy realizes that Raikou does not just protect Electric-type Pokémon; it protects its friends, and considers the group to be so. Although they cannot control the crystal anymore, Team Rocket is still around. The reason for this appears when Raikou attacks them—the electricity is still drawn to the crystal, which sends a powerful blast back. Hun explains that if the control panel is destroyed, the crystal will run on "auto-destruct," which means that its power is now twice as focused. The crystal homes in on Raikou, and then turns black. Its electric hooks sink into Raikou and pull it inwards. Raikou is soon trapped.

Hun taunts that their legend will last forever as they have brains and science on their side—but Jimmy, Vincent, and Marina will not let that happen. They send out Typhlosion, Little Miss, and Meganium. Typhlosion uses Flamethrower, but the field now surrounding Raikou stops it. Jimmy suggests using combined forces again, but Eugene tells them that it won't work. If the field explodes with Raikou trapped inside, then the blast would be so powerful that it would destroy even Raikou.
