| A {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Sentret}} stumbles upon {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, who are taking a daytime nap, and reports what it saw back to the other Sentret. On a more restless note, {{TRT}} are testing out their new [[Team Rocket's mechas|Arbotank]], a tank resembling {{p|Arbok}}. [[Jessie]] looks out for the group, and is thrilled to see they are sound asleep.

| While Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} sleep, the Sentret comes back and tries to figure out what Togepi is, but in the process, Togepi rolls down a hill, and the wild Sentret chases it. At the bottom of the hill, Togepi wakes up and meets the Sentret. The two play together and end up rolling off a cliff, but they fall into the Arbotank's hatch opening. Team Rocket hear the noise and are instantly alerted to the two Pokémon playing with the Arbotank's control panel. Soon enough, Togepi jumps on a lever causing the mecha to take off, and Team Rocket chases after them.

| Misty is the first to wake from the nap and notices that Togepi is gone; but before she can wake up Ash, a Sentret comes along and wakes him. The Sentret tries to desperately tell him something, and Brock suggests that it's trying to find something it has lost. Then, the trio hear a crash coming from the distance. The crash came from Togepi and the Sentret trying to navigate around a rock, but once they do, they crash right into the side of a cliff. | | {{an|Misty}} wakes up and notices that Togepi is gone, but before she can wake up Ash, another Sentret comes along and wakes him. It tries to desperately tell him something, and Brock suggests that it is trying to find something it has lost. Then, the trio hears a crash in the distance, revealed to be the Arbotank colliding into a cliff. Ash and his friends, meet up with Team Rocket, who tells Misty that Togepi and its Sentret are controlling the tank. {{an|Brock}} sends out {{TP|Brock|Onix}} so the group can get to the tank faster. They arrive at a clearing that the Arbotank will be passing by and devise a plan to stop the Arbotank. The plan partially succeeds, allowing {{AP|Pikachu}} to board the stuck Arbotank before it returns to a standing position and is freed. |

| Both Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket chase after the tank, and soon, the two groups meet up. Team Rocket tells Misty that Togepi is inside controlling the tank, and this sends Misty running for the tank again. Meowth then tells the Sentret that's with Ash's group that there's also another Sentret in the tank, which sends the Sentret right after Misty. Brock sends out {{TP|Brock|Onix}} so they can get to the tank faster. They get to a clearing that the Arbotank should be passing by soon, and devise a plan, Operation Sinktank; Onix will dig a hole in the clearing, they'll fill it with rocks and crush those rocks to dirt. They will then use {{t|Water}} Pokémon to turn it to mud, and the Arbotank will fall in and get stuck. Then, Ash, Pikachu, and Sentret will enter the tank to rescue Togepi and the other Sentret.
| | While [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|dressed as magicians]], Team Rocket uses a magic trick to trap the Arbotank in another hole. Meowth jumps inside, only to be greeted with Pikachu's {{m|Thunder Shock}}. The shock causes a technical failure, which activates a spring on the bottom of the Arbotank, and the mecha bounces out of the hole. Ash, his friends, their Sentret, and Team Rocket give chase again as the Arbotank continues its rampage. At Ash's insistence, Sentret calls out for danger, allowing the other Pokémon to hide and reach safety. The tank starts going faster and is about to crash into the side of another cliff, but Togepi uses {{m|Metronome}} to drill a hole through the mountain. Brock realizes that if it drills straight through the mountain, it will destroy a town on the other side. As a result, Ash sends out {{AP|Charizard}} to defeat it. |

| The plan is initially going to plan, except for Psyduck who cannot use {{m|Water Gun}} and decides to take a swim in the mud. The Arbotank reaches a half-filled pitfall trap, but manages to get stuck as planned. Pikachu, Ash, Misty, and the Sentret rush to help rescue the two, but as they begin to climb inside, the Arbotank is able to return to a standing position, and only Pikachu is able to get inside. With a rocket, Togepi blasts the tank out of the hole and continues on the accidental rampage. | | The group follows Charizard aboard Onix, just as Charizard is almost able to bring the tank to a halt. Pikachu, Onix and the group's Sentret helps Charizard, eventually causing a complete mechanical failure. Charizard then uses {{m|Flamethrower}} to melt one of the mecha's windows, allowing to Pikachu, Togepi, and their Sentret to flee. However, with Meowth still inside, Jessie and [[James]] try to rescue the Arbotank at the last second. However, the mecha explodes, sending them blasting off again. |

| [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|Dressed as magicians]], Team Rocket appears and says they have a trick to show, and suddenly, the Arbotank disappears. Ash and his friends rush to see what happened to it, but when they get there, they see that the tank has fallen into a hole dug by Team Rocket. Meowth jumps into the tank, only to be greeted with Pikachu's {{m|ThunderShock}}. The shock causes a technical failure with activates a spring on the bottom of the tank, and the mecha bounces out fo the hole. Ash, his friends, Sentret and Team Rocket give chase as the Arbotank continues to smash its way through the cliffs. At Ash's insistence, Sentret calls to signal for danger, which allows the other Pokémon to hide and reach safety. The tank starts going faster and is about to crash into the side of a cliff, but Togepi uses {{m|Metronome}} to drill a hole through the mountain. Brock concludes that if it drills straight through the mountain, it will destroy a town on the other side, and no natural obstacle with overcome it, so they need to use {{AP|Charizard}} to defeat it. Jessie and [[James]] are furious that the Arbotank will be destroyed and demand that Ash and his friends pay for damages, but Misty quickly silences them.
| | As Ash and his friends watch the smoldering remains of the Arbotank, the two Sentret reunite while Misty scolds Togepi. [[Officer Jenny]] arrives on the scene in her motorcycle. She thanks Ash and his friends for creating the tunnel, which halves the time required to travel between the town and [[Violet City]]. The trio laughs amongst themselves about the fact that Team Rocket were responsible for some accidental good. |
