The episode opens in a small town, focusing on a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] {{TRT}} running a phony [[Pokémon Day Care]], promising {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to [[Evolution|evolve]] any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} left in their care within a two-hour period. A young Trainer with a {{p|Magby}} passes by and Team Rocket easily talks him into it. They take him inside their makeshift shop and tell him about their plan. While the Trainer is excited, Team Rocket [[Boss fantasy|fantasizes]] about giving Magby to {{an|Giovanni|the Boss}}. The Trainer leaves Magby and his [[Poké Ball]] before leaving.

Meanwhile, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive in the same town, en route to [[Lake Valor]]. The same boy crosses their path and is excited to notice a cute Pokémon. He takes interest in [[Ash's Pikachu]], which upsets {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. After quick introductions, Ash lets [[Roland]] play with his Pikachu in a local park. Dawn wants Piplup to play too, but he is still upset. When asked about what Pokémon he has, Roland mentions his Magby, which Dawn looks up. When asked to see it, Roland tells about his earlier action of letting the day care evolve it. This instantly gets the group's attention, knowing something is amiss. When Roland takes them to the shop where he left Magby, they find it completely locked up. The building is also bare, with the signs gone. Roland realizes his mistake and needs to inform [[Bertha]]. That name gets {{an|Brock}}'s attention as someone calls out to Roland. She introduces herself as Bertha. Brock feels that he knows who she is, but before he can say it, she drags him away and confirms she is part of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], but to not say anything. Bertha wants to train Roland, but when he says his Magby was stolen, she is clearly upset. Roland is related to Bertha, a child to one of her cousins, and that she was asked to train Roland. She lectures him on responsibility and to correct his mistake. Ash and his friends decide to help. As they walk, Ash and Dawn share their goals with Bertha as she asks about their plan to search, which stumps them as they have been searching aimlessly.
