<i>Ash arrives at the Canalave Gym, only to hear bad news: the Gym Leader is away on Iron Island, and the locals are all sleep-deprived due to horrible nightmares! Officer Jenny blames the Darkrai that visits Canalave City once a year; a Cresselia from Full Moon Island always drives Darkrai away, but Darkrai is early this year and Cresselia is nowhere to be found. Officer Jenny bought a Lunar Wing charm to ward off bad dreams, but it's not working. When Brock inspects it, he realizes it's just a fake made from a lacquered Pidgey feather! An investigation leads Ash and the gang to Team Rocket, who are using a nightmare-generating machine to create a market for their fake Lunar Wing charms.

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} go to [[Canalave Gym]], only to hear the Gym referee screaming. He steps outside completely exhausted, telling the group that everyone has been having nightmares. As Ash asks for a Gym battle, the referee informs him that the [[Byron|Gym Leader]] is out training on [[Iron Island]] and won’t be back for a couple of days. {{an|Dawn}} decides that some shopping will cheer up the disappointed Ash, however, they find the most popular shopping area on the island is deserted. {{an|Brock}} sees a police station, and goes to make a move on a very tired [[Officer Jenny]].

At the police station, Jenny cannot stay awake. She informs them that all the people in the town are having nightmares, and that the cause of the nightmares seems to be the Pokémon {{p|Darkrai}}. Jenny admits the nightmares an annual occurrence, however {{p|Cresselia}} always helps [[Canalave City]] overcome its sleeplessness. She pulls out a [[Lunar Wing]], telling them that even though she paid good money for it, it doesn't seem to be working. Brock examines it with a magnifying glass and finds out it's just a lacquered {{p|Pidgey}} feather. Jenny runs out in a rage, determined to arrest the counterfeiters – none other than {{TRT}}. Over at the Lunar Wing stall, {{MTR}} and [[Jessie]] retreat inside their tent as they prepare more fake Lunar Wings and their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Nightmare Machine]], which they have built to scam people into buying their Lunar Wings. However Jenny hears them admit the forgeries and moves in to arrest them. Team Rocket remove their [[Team Rocket's disguises|disguises]] and recite their {{motto}}. {{AP|Pikachu}} uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} and sends them blasting off, destroying the machine.

Officer Jenny is immensely grateful, so she prepares dinner for the group and has them stay over at the police station. Later that night, the group awaken to the same nightmare, and find out that the real Darkrai is nearby, and that they must summon Cresselia to stop it. The group and Jenny set off for [[Fullmoon Island]], with Team Rocket following closely in their Magikarp submarine. They plan to catch Cresselia and Pikachu as an added bonus.

*** Also, in this episode, no one knows what Darkrai is, despite some having spoken to it in ''The Rise of Darkrai''. This is particularly shown when Ash refers to Darkrai as "a creepy Pokémon", and exclaims "so ''that's'' Darkrai!" when first seeing him.
**** However, this is fixed in the English dub, when Ash instead says, "Hey, it's Darkrai! So it was Darkrai after all!" This demonstrates that he did indeed recognize it.
