{{Incomplete plot}}
After the gym battle, [[Clair]] treated everyone with breakfast, {{Ash}} was excited that he finally got eight gym badges and can enter the Johto League. [[Clair]] states that the Johto League Silver Conference is going to be held in Silver Town three months from now. {{Ash}} says he'll go to Newbark Town to register for the Silver Conference.
{{Ash}} plans to go to [[New Bark Town]] to register for the Johto [[Silver Conference]] now that he has all eight [[Badge]]s even though the Silver Conference is in three months. {{TRT}} has plans of their own, they decide to steal Ash’s Badges for their own purposes. {{MTR}} and [[James]] want to sell the badges, while [[Jessie]] wants to enter the Silver Conference using them. They are successful in stealing his Badges and run away with them. Meanwhile, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} meets a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Wynaut}} in the woods who steals the Badges from Team Rocket. When Ash realizes his loss of Badges he goes through the list of the Gym Leaders he fought to get them.


James believes that a Wynaut drawing by Wobbuffet was his childhood nanny, but after Wobbuffet states that the thief was blue, Team Rocket believes a {{p|Wooper}} stole the Badges, and they try to find one. While Ash tries on his own to try to find the Badges. {{AP|Noctowl}} and {{AP|Bayleef}} find Wynaut and the Badges and some berries it has in a box. But when Team Rocket find Bayleef with the Badges, they attack Bayleef and escape with the Badges. [[Clair]] comes in with {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} to chase the Rocket balloon. When Ash gets his Badges back he realizes he’s missing his Rising Badge, and Wynaut appears holding the Badge. It hands it to Bayleef and escapes without Ash seeing it. Now that Ash has all eight Badges, Clair tells Ash the directions to New Bark Town to register for the Johto League Silver Conference.

While they're talking, a Wynaut takes their bag of doughnut holes without their noticing, and they accuse Wobbuffet of eating them all. They are successful in stealing his Badges and run away with them.
 
Meanwhile, while {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} takes the badges to a place to meet, he smells some berries and thinks that {{TRT}} will respect him better if he picked some berries for them. While he's picking berries he meets {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Wynaut}} in the woods who steals the Badges from Team Rocket. When Ash realizes his loss of Badges he goes through the list of the Gym Leaders he fought to get them.
 
{{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} tries to explain what happened and draws a picture of Wynaut. James believes that a Wynaut drawing by Wobbuffet was his childhood nanny, but after Wobbuffet states that the thief was blue, [[Jessie]] believes a {{p|Wooper}} stole the Badges, and they try to find one.
