The episode begins with Bonnie, Ash, Clemont, and Serena camping. Everyone is in their sleeping bags, waiting to watch the meteor shower. Serena says they will all have to make a wish, and Bonnie asks why. Serena tells her that if you make a wish when you see a shooting star, it'll come true. Bonnie then decides to make a lot of wishes, and Ash agrees.
The meteor shower begins, everyone makes their wishes: Ash wishes that he meets lots of strong Trainers, Serena wishes that she wins her third Princess Key, and Bonnie wishes that she can become a Trainer soon, and also that Clemont can find a wife soon, much to Clemont's embarrassment. Clemont can't decide what to wish for, and simply wishes that everyone else's wishes will come true.
Before everyone goes to sleep, Clemont announces that he has made an alarm clock that is guaranteed to wake everyone up in the morning, so they can head out early. While everyone is sleeping, Dedenne rolls over and knocks Squishy out of Bonnie's purse. Squishy goes off on its own and finds a nearby tree to sleep in. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is sleeping up against a tree. Meowth can't sleep due to Jesse and James's snoring, so he puts earplugs in his ears and counts Mareep in order to fall asleep. Darkrai comes and puts Meowth and Pikachu into Squishy's dream. In the dream, Pikachu wakes up to go get some water. He finds a river and starts drinking from it. He is greeted by a Froakie, a Diggersby, and a Delphox. They can all speak somehow and startle Pikachu. Meowth wakes up and goes to get water as well. and tries to wake up Jessie and James.
