Just then, a boat arrives at the pier. Professor Oak and Tracey confirm who they are and the driver identifies himself as [[Jared]], a research and development assistant at the Sayda Lab. The boat sets out, Jared tells Professor Oak and Tracey that Gary would have come to pick them up but he is finishing his project as they speak. Professor Oak asks what kind of project it is, though Jared says that he will see. A school of Seaking jumps out of the water exciting Tracey, as he has never sketched them before. As he makes his sketch, Professor Oak remembers having a {{p|Seaking}} when he was a {{pkmn|Trainer}} after seeing it heading upstream near [[Vermilion City]], as he felt that he could relate to it. As he concludes that they are pretty incredible, Jared tells him that Seaking aren't half as incredible as what they are about to see. As the boat arrives at Sayda Island, Jared tells Professor Oak that he won't believe what his grandson has done.

Inside the lab, there is a large display with life-size reconstructions of all the [[Kanto]] [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]]. While they are now extinct, their DNA can be studied through the Fossils they left behind, such as the [[Old Amber]] that Gary found while he was on his journey. Dora explains that they already had a fossilized Aerodactyl {{pkmn|Egg}} at the lab before Gary arrived. When Gary found that the DNA matched, they got the idea to combine them to bring an Aerodactyl back to life. Gary tells his grandfather that congratulations aren't in order, and shows a lot of destroyed equipment thanks to newly revived Aerodactyl. Arriving on the scene, Dora’s little sister, {{OBP|Crystal|HS15}}, mentions that she was the one who actually found the Fossil Egg. Professor Oak says that they need to find the Aerodactyl since it could be dangerous if it crosses the ocean. Crystal says that her friends could help them out. She whistles to her friends, some {{p|Lapras}} and {{p|Farfetch'd}}, and asks them to find Aerodactyl. Professor Oak comments that she will make an excellent Trainer one day.

Up in a tree, Butch and Cassidy are surveying the area. They are ready to concentrate, but Aerodactyl then flies up in front of them. It uses {{m|Gust}} to send them into the bushes below.

The Farfetch'd appears, gathering all the search party up at the islands highest point, where Crystal informs them that she found the fossilized Egg. Nearby, they find the Aerodactyl sleeping by a rock and try to sneak up on it. However, Crystal trips and disturbs it. The Aerodactyl flies off, though not before Tracey jumps and grabs onto one of its legs. As Tracey gets further away, Crystal calls to the Farfetch'd to follow. A scared Tracey asks the Aerodactyl to fly lower, alerting it to his presence and resulting in it trying to shake him off. As the others give pursuit, Aerodactyl flies over a clearing and Tracey jumps off.

This blast broke the net, allowing Aerodactyl to fly away again. It heads towards the ocean, but then turns around. Professor Oak guesses that it doesn't want to leave the island, which Gary agrees with realizing that it is because it is new to the world. Tracey wonders why such a powerful Pokémon would be scared of them. Professor Oak replies that a lot of Pokémon don't realize how powerful they are, and its confusion and the actions of Team Rocket have probably made it even more scared of humans. Professor Oak says that they now have to show that they don't mean it any harm. The question is how, and so Gary suggests feeding it. Dora then remembers that they found some fossilized seeds were discovered near the Egg.

Inside, Cassidy and Butch prepare another capture attempt. Aerodactyl flies off and the helicopter gives chase. As it reaches the ocean, Aerodactyl turns around and uses {{m|Whirlwind}} on the helicopter. Butch is finding it hard to keep control so Cassidy sends a mechanical arm forward to grab Aerodactyl. Crystal sends out Ivysaur to use {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but the attack doesn’t work on the helicopter’s metal construction. So Gary calls out his {{p|Dodrio}}, and it uses its powerful legs to leap onto the helicopter. It follows up with a fury of {{m|Drill Peck}}s which eventually cause the helicopter to blow up. A Hyper Beam from Aerodactyl sends Butch and Cassidy blasting off again. Crystal and Gary tell Ivysaur and Dodrio that they were great. Professor Oak comments that now they only need to get Aerodactyl to trust them.

* When Gary tells {{p|Dodrio}} to use {{m|Drill Peck}}, the attack it uses is more similar to {{m|Fury Attack}}. However, this might just be a different-looking version of the move.

* In the English dub, [[Butch]] claims that Aerodactyl is 11 feet tall, when it is actually 5 feet 11 inches tall.
