In a dark room, a {{p|Galvantula}} is the subject of an experiment by [[Colress]], [[Team Plasma]]'s head scientist. With [[Aldith]] and two other {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s looking on, a device attaches to the Galvantula's glass prison and begins emitting strange energy waves. As a small receiver on Galvantula's head blinks to life, the EleSpider Pokémon begins releasing massive amounts of electricity, its eyes glowing red and its demeanor becoming more violent. Aldith comments that Colress' experiment will soon give Team Plasma the power to conquer Unova, but Colress declares that his only concern is whether or not he can unlock the true strength of Pokémon. | In a dark room, a {{p|Galvantula}} is the subject of an experiment by [[Colress]], [[Team Plasma]]'s head scientist.

Unable to determine the source of their rage, Ash has {{AP|Pikachu}} subdue the Amoonguss with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. The group brings the unconscious Pokémon to the [[Pokémon Center]], only to find [[Nurse Joy]] already dealing with dozens of similar cases. [[Officer Jenny]] explains that the patients are all casualties of the same incidents: the wild Pokémon living around Floccesy Town have recently started coming down from their mountain home and violently attacking everyone they see. A young man comments that he had seen a suspicious group of people near the old observatory on the mountain, despite it having been closed for years. With Officer Jenny occupied with a rampaging {{p|Bouffalant}}, Ash and his friends decide to investigate themselves. Unbeknownst to them, Team Rocket is eavesdropping on the conversation, deciding to follow the group and wait for a chance to steal Pikachu; additionally, a bearded {{tc|Hiker}} appears to have taken interest in Ash's group. | ||
Back in Colress' lab, the Plasma grunts are astonished by the increase in Galvantula's power and aggression. Aldith explains that the experiment has also left Galvantula under their complete control, but the Pokémon falls unconscious when Colress shuts down his machine. Lamenting that he may have used too much power, the scientist decides to work with his next subject: a {{p|Beartic}}. As he starts up the machine again, Colress explains that he is using EM radio waves to force Pokémon into a state of extreme aggression, increasing the power of their attacks. He boasts that his theories are working flawlessly, Beartic roaring in pain as it falls under his control. | Back in Colress' lab, the Plasma grunts are astonished by the increase in Galvantula's power and aggression.

On the path leading up the mountain, Ash's group has stopped for a short rest. While Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} play together and {{an|Iris}} tries to keep {{an|Cilan}}'s mind off of the beautiful landscape and on their investigation, the Hiker seen in the Pokémon Center arrives to chat with Ash, suggesting that he keep away from the observatory. Before Ash can question further, Pikachu and Axew suddenly turn on their trainers, joined by a group of wild {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. Ash and his friends are saved by the Hiker, who throws a small device that emits an orange energy field to return the Pokémon to normal. As Ash and Iris reunite with their Pokémon, the Hiker explains that his device emits EM waves to counteract the signal that drove the Pokémon to aggression. He also welcomes Ash and Pikachu as old friends, revealing himself to be none other than [[Looker]]. | On the path leading up the mountain, Ash's group has stopped for a short rest.

Learning what little the officer knows about the villains, including their plans to conquer [[Unova]], Ash, Iris, and Cilan offer to help Looker's search. Seeing that the EM waves have stopped for now, Looker agrees, asking them to stay close to him in case the malignant waves start up again. Watching this exchange from a nearby shrub, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] plan to steal Team Plasma's technology for themselves, believing that it will help them catch Pikachu. Their scheming is interrupted by an irate {{MTR}}, who has been bound with a metal ring to prevent him from attacking his allies when the radio waves activate. James promises to free Meowth shortly, but the talking Scratch Cat Pokémon rages that his bonds are hurting his arms, lamenting that he was framed. | ||
Within the observatory, the Team Plasma operatives receive a transmission from their leader, [[Ghetsis]]. He asks Colress for a status report on their experiment, remarking that the rampaging wild Pokémon are proving beneficial to Team Plasma's ultimate goals. However, Colress reports that the EM wave generator is still in the testing stage - it will take some time before they can implement it fully. The discussion is interrupted when the security systems detect intruders nearby, prompting Ghetsis to suggest using Colress' | Within the observatory, the Team Plasma operatives receive a transmission from their leader, [[Ghetsis]]. He asks Colress for a status report on their experiment, remarking that the rampaging wild Pokémon are proving beneficial to Team Plasma's ultimate goals. However, Colress reports that the EM wave generator is still in the testing stage - it will take some time before they can implement it fully. The discussion is interrupted when the security systems detect intruders nearby, prompting Ghetsis to suggest using Colress' test subjects against them. Colress agrees wholeheartedly – if only to gather more data on their power increase – but admits that his Pokémon will require some more time to recover from the tests. To this end, Aldith leads the other grunts out of the room, while Ghetsis bids Colress "good hunting". | ||
Outside the observatory, Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Looker are confronted by Aldith's subordinates, who send out a {{p|Golbat}} and a {{p|Magnemite}}. Pikachu and Axew quickly engage the attacking Pokémon, but Aldith soon orders her comrades to retreat into the building. Ash leads his friends in hot pursuit of the grunts, only to come face-to-face with Colress in the latter's experimenting room. After dispelling Looker's belief that he is the leader of Team Plasma, Colress summons his brainwashed Pokémon: Galvantula, Beartic, {{p|Scolipede}}, and {{p|Mienshao}}. Ash and Pikachu's pleas to fight the control go unheeded as the Pokémon attack with their strongest [[move]]s, Colress explaining that his machine has driven them to furious aggression against humans while leaving them under Team Plasma's complete control. | Outside the observatory, Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Looker are confronted by Aldith's subordinates, who send out a {{p|Golbat}} and a {{p|Magnemite}}.

Colress is delighted by Pikachu's resilience, but Aldith tells him that they have no time to analyze it. Before she can have their other Pokémon attack again, a small device lands on Colress' control panel and begins hacking his machine's systems. Colress' attempts to save his mainframe are in vain; his console explodes, the wild Pokémon are freed, and Team Rocket retrieves their spy camera before reciting their motto. Sneering that Team Plasma is too incompetent to rule Unova, Jessie, James, and Meowth promise to use Colress' research for their own ends before making their escape. Despite this, Colress declares that they have all the data they need to continue their work elsewhere, prompting Aldith to lead them in a retreat. Looker tries to follow the criminals, but they activate a hidden self-destruct mechanism, forcing the group to evacuate the Pokémon and take cover. As the observatory explodes, Team Plasma escapes in a helicopter, shooting down Team Rocket's balloon on their way out. | Colress is delighted by Pikachu's resilience, but Aldith tells him that they have no time to analyze it.

Looker is disappointed that Team Plasma managed to escape and destroy all evidence of their activities, but nonetheless reports his findings to Officer Jenny. After Nurse Joy begins tending to the remaining wild Pokémon affected by Colress' device, Ash and his friends meet Looker outside the Pokémon Center. Declaring that he can always count on Ash and Pikachu, the officer leaves to continue his hunt for Team Plasma, leaving Ash's group to resume their trek towards the White Ruins. | Looker is disappointed that Team Plasma managed to escape and destroy all evidence of their activities, but nonetheless reports his findings to Officer Jenny.
