May and Max are admiring the Hoenn starter Pokémon at the lab (Treecko, Mudkip, and Torchic), when Professor Oak shows up. He shows them the Kanto starter Pokémon he brought: Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander. May befriends the Bulbasaur.

Team Rocket arrives and kidnaps all six starter Pokémon, and Professor Oak and the siblings go after them. They track the thieves to a Secret Base, but fall into a trap and are imprisoned. Team Rocket also takes May's Poké Balls.

Oak and the siblings escape from imprisonment with the starter Pokémon. Oak has a Zubat use Supersonic on Team Rocket while the Bulbasaur uses its vines to grab May's Poké Balls. After running, they eventually find their way to an outside door, but can't break out.

Professor Birch and company arrive outside the door, where they use Water-type attacks on the door and then have Pikachu blast it with electricity. A group of Pokémon on Oak's side knocks down the now-weakened door with Tackle or Pound.

{{Ash}} admires his [[Badge]]s for a moment before asking {{an|Brock}} where {{ashfr|the group}} is heading next. Brock informs him of the [[Fortree Gym]], which excites Ash as he announces [[Fortree City]] is their next stop. Though {{an|May}} and {{an|Max}} is quick to remind him that they promised to see [[Professor Birch]] first. Ash point’s out the Professor’s lab in the distance, when suddenly Birch drives his SUV over a nearby cliff. He skids to a stop next to them. The group gets reacquainted and then Birch comments that he on his way to pick up {{an|Professor Oak}} from the [[Littleroot Town|port]]. Ash and Brock jump into the SUV while May and Max decide to wait at the lab for them. As they speed off, Max becomes excited at the thought of finally meeting his idol.

As the SUV speeds over a mountain trail, Birch becomes distracted as he points out a {{p|Skarmory}} perched on a rock. He is forced to swerve the SUV to avoid colliding with an oncoming wagon pulled by a {{p|Camerupt}}. As Ash and Brock recover from the ordeal, Birch embarrassingly remarks that everything is fine. Unknown to the group, Professor Oak is, sleeping with a cowboy hat on, hitching a ride on the back of the old man's wagon. Meanwhile, May and Max admire the new {{pkmn2|starter}} trio Birch is taking care of at the lab. Birch's assistant {{OBP|Joshua|assistant}} holds a {{p|Mudkip}} as May and Max pet the new {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Treecko}}. Joshua comments that it has been awhile since May got her Pokémon, and she happily remembers the incidents on [[AG001|the day]] she got {{TP|May|Torchic}}. May  comments that she has come a long way since then. Max cuts in, remarking that she still isn't very good with Pokémon, and it ends with May chasing her brother around the lab.

Max bumps into Professor Oak, who lifts his brim hat to reveal himself. Max is in total shock as Oak greets him and his sister. After a quick inspection, Max declares that Oak is real and asks him to autograph a bunch of celebrity snapshots. He quickly hands Oak the photos and the Professor happily signs them. As he does, Oak notices that Ash and Brock are absent, though Joshua explains that they accompanied Birch to the port. Oak laughs and hands the photos back to a very jumpy Max. Max rushes back to Oak and asks if he brought along any Pokémon with him. Oak tells him to calm down and then reaches into his pack before calling out the three [[Kanto]] starters. Max happily inspects them. Spying from the bushes, {{TRT}} are enticed by the thought of having the six starter Pokémon, but {{MTR}} suggests that they give them to the {{an|Giovanni|Boss}} instead. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] wonder why and {{p|Meowth}} [[Boss fantasy|explains]] that with the starters, the Boss will have a new sense of confidence in his team. The three cheer with this new thought in mind.

Meanwhile, Max is busily inspecting the bulb on {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s back. As he begins to prod the bulb, Bulbasaur turns around and slaps Max away. May asks her brother if he's all right and he seems impressed with the strength of the {{m|Tackle}}. Max goes over to the other two starters and begins to pull at their faces. The pair become annoyed, replying with an {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Water Gun}} to Max’s face, though Max is still excited. Oak laughs and remarks that if Max likes them so much then he can have the responsibility of looking after them today. Max doesn't believe it and Oak comments that if he is up to it he'll let him. Max salutes and says he'll do his best. May says she'll try her best to help as well. Bulbasaur holds its vine up to her, and she quickly realizes that it is being friendly so she shakes its fine. Suddenly, a large {{p|Skiploom}} [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] rises above the trees. Before even saying their {{motto}}, Team Rocket launches a net and snags all six starter Pokémon. As the mecha begins to fly away, Oak tells Joshua to wait for Ash and Brock. Joshua nods, so Oak and the siblings rush off to retrieve the Pokémon. At the docks, Birch and the others are dumbfounded at why Oak hasn't gotten off the ship. Birch calls up Joshua to find out Oak actually arrived but is now chasing after Team Rocket to retrieve the starter Pokémon. Birch says they'll get back as soon as possible.

Oak, May, and Max have come to a river and wonder where the Rocket trio have disappeared to. Oak thinks for a moment, and then notices a cave behind a nearby waterfall. The three decide to investigate, and a bunch of lights hung up inside makes them realize something is up. Meanwhile, Joshua hands [[Bag|Max's backpack]] to Ash, Brock and Birch and the SUV speeds off to find them. Oak and the kids slowly walk through the cave, unaware that a motion tracker has detected the trio. The entry suddenly seals shut and a camera hones in on them. Soon they spot the six starter Pokémon in a cage. They rush to reclaim them, but suddenly fall into a pitfall trap. Annoyed, May tries to call out her Pokémon, but a large vacuum suddenly sucks the {{i|Poké Ball}}s up. The Rocket trio taunt their captives before rushing off. As they go, a large metal gate shuts over the hole, leaving May, Oak and Max trapped until help arrives. Outside, Birch steers the car through a large rocky canyon. Birch informs the others that they are perfectly safe, but they begin to disagree when Birch drives the SUV off a ledge.

Team Rocket is now celebrating their victory with a toast inside their [[Secret Base]]. Meowth turns his attention to the surveillance system, where Oak is oddly still, but they think nothing of it. It turns out that Max placed one of his collectible photos in front of the camera, and the captives are now climbing out of the hole. Hoisted by the others, Max manages to climb out. Following on the Professor’s advice, Max has Torchic and {{p|Charmander}} heat the cage with {{m|Ember}}, then he asks Mudkip and {{p|Squirtle}} to cool the bars with {{m|Water Gun}}, and then has Bulbasaur and Treecko use {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Pound}} to knock the bars away. Now free, the Pokémon leap onto Max and hug him out of gratitude. Outside, Ash and Brock wonder how they are ever going to find the others. Birch whistles and a {{p|Poochyena}} suddenly appears. He has it smell Max's pack and it quickly takes off after picking up a scent. Inside the cave, the Pokémon have now helped May and Oak out of the hole. Oak thanks Max for his hard work, and they quickly turn their attention to retrieving May’s Pokémon. They peer inside Team Rocket’s base of operations to see the trio celebrating their success with food and dancing. May wonders how they can get past the Rockets and Oak notices a {{p|Zubat}} sleeping on the cave ceiling. Oak has it use {{m|Supersonic}} to hurt Team Rocket's ears, and Bulbasaur grabs the Poké Balls with {{m|Vine Whip}}.
