{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} continue through the mountains when a {{p|Murkrow}} approaches them and starts squawking. Then, a girl comes running out from a clearing, exclaiming that she finally found a {{p|Pikachu}}. The girl introduces herself as {{OBP|Lily|EP241}}, a Pokémon magician. Lily explains that she has been searching far and wide for bizarre things from different Pokémon such as a {{m|Thunderbolt}} from Pikachu. {{an|Misty}} asks Lily to perform magic for her because she once dreamed about being a Pokémon magician when she was little. Lily flicks through her spellbook and asks Misty if she'd like a smoother complexion, and Misty says yes. So, Lily mixes everything together and says a magic chant which causes a lot of smoke to rise from the pot. To Misty's surprise, the spell summons a bunch of {{p|Spinarak}} which use {{m|String Shot}} to give her smoother skin. | {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} continue through the mountains when a {{p|Murkrow}} approaches them and starts squawking.

Ash is particularly intrigued about a Pokemon | Ash is particularly intrigued about a Pokemon mind-reading spell. Lily admits that the final ingredient is always missing - {{m|Stun Spore}} from a {{p|Parasect}}. Murkrow returns to everyone and brings them over to a wild Parasect. Ash volunteers to retrieve the Stun Spore, so he challenges Parasect to a battle. At first, it tries spraying Ash with {{m|Sleep Powder}}, but luckily, Murkrow blows it away. Then Parasect finally uses Stun Spore and Lily obtains it with a vacuum. Just then, {{TRT}} appears and uses a long mechanical arm to kidnap {{AP|Pikachu}}. Lily notices {{MTR}} and wants to get the dirt from its claws, so she sends Murkrow to get it. Instead, Murkrow makes a hole in their balloon, sending them blasting off again. Pikachu falls from their clutches and into Ash's arms. Team Rocket is later seen slumped precariously over a rock ledge on top of a tall cliff. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} pops out of his {{i|Poké Ball}} and adds more weight, and the ledge starts to crack. Lily, Ash, and his friends catch up to Team Rocket. Lily rushes to collect the dirt from Meowth's claws. As soon as she steps off the ledge, it breaks, and Team Rocket goes crashing into the bushes below. | ||
Later, {{an|Brock}} asks Lily what else she needs and she tells the crew that she needs the tears of an {{p|Aipom}}. Ash is keen to see Lily’s magic, so he begins calling out for an Aipom. Misty and Brock doubt Ash’s approach will ever work, but to their surprise, an Aipom emerges from a nearby shrub. Lily is thrilled, but her enthusiasm sends Aipom fleeing. Meanwhile, the Rocket trio pop out of the nearby bushes. They heard about the spell, so they set out to capture the Aipom, Lily's bag and book so they can make a lot of money. When Aipom lets its guard down, Lily and the others charge at it. A net grabs Aipom, causing everyone to collide instead. Team Rocket strikes again in their balloon and Meowth uses the long arm to snatch Lily's bag. Then they recite their {{motto}}. Lily orders Murkrow to get her bag back, but Meowth uses the arm to punch Murkrow out of the sky. Jessie and James then make their getaway. Lily crumbles into tears, but Ash reassures her that they will retrieve her bag. | Later, {{an|Brock}} asks Lily what else she needs and she tells the crew that she needs the tears of an {{p|Aipom}}.

Just then Ash and his friends catch up to Team Rocket and demand that the stolen stuff be returned. Jessie orders her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} into battle, but it is sent flying into the balloon's basket by Murkrow's {{m|Icy Wind}}. Then it's Ash's Pikachu against [[James's Weezing]]. Weezing uses {{m|Sludge}}, but the attack eventually runs out while trying to counter Pikachu's Thunderbolt. Meanwhile, Brock manages to untie Aipom who promptly runs off. Lily has Murkrow use {{m|Swift}}, which causes Weezing to ram Team Rocket into the basket. Pikachu performs {{m|Thunder}} on the balloon which makes it blow up and sends Team Rocket blasting off. Aipom finds this funny, laughing so hard that it produces tears of mirth. Ash quickly grabs a jar and tries to catch a tear, but he trips and takes a nosedive. Pikachu quickly grabs the jar and catches the tear instead. Both Lily and Ash thank Pikachu. | Just then Ash and his friends catch up to Team Rocket and demand that the stolen stuff be returned.

Lily mixes in all the ingredients for the spell and then she asks who will volunteer. Ash begs to be picked, so Lily selects him. Following orders, Ash finishes the spell with Pikachu's Thunderbolt. A lot of yellow smoke surrounds Ash and he comments that he felt a little like he's getting into Pikachu's mind. | Lily mixes in all the ingredients for the spell and then she asks who will volunteer.

Moments later, Ash notices that his friends seem to have gotten really big all of a sudden. Misty pulls out a mirror and shows Ash his reflection to reveal that he has been turned into [[Ashachu|a Pikachu]]. As Ash panics, Lily comments that the effect was unexpected. She glances through her book and finds that the spell continues on the next page, but said page is too smudged for her to read. Misty asks Lily if Ash will be a Pikachu permanently, but Lily assures that he'll be back to normal as soon as the spell wears off. With this reassurance, Ash calms down and decides to make the best of the weird situation. Misty and Brock watch Ash play around with Pikachu, Murkrow, and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, commenting that Ash really is in the mind of a Pikachu, meaning that the spell did work, in a way. | ||
