At [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], {{Tracey}} rushes to the front door when he hears the doorbell ring. He opens the door to see [[Ritchie]] and [[Sparky]], who he recognizes from {{Ash}}’s travel stories, so he invites them inside. Ritchie explains that he has come to get advice from {{an|Professor Oak}} on the best way to evolve his {{p|Eevee}}. Tracey confirms that the Professor would be the best person to ask, but that he is currently on {{an|Seafoam Island}}, and won't be back until that night. Tracey decides to call Professor Oak on the phone, but learns from [[DJ Mary]] that Oak has vanished without a trace.

One hitchhiking lorry ride later, Tracey and Ritchie arrive at the Seafoam Island TV Station.  The security guards tell them that is temporarily closed, but Mary explains that Tracey is Professor Oak's assistant. Tracey then introduces Ritchie as Oak's nephew, gaining them both entry inside. Mary explains that Professor Oak disappeared halfway through a rehearsal. He is nowhere in the building, and yet the security guards haven't seen him leave. At Ritchie's request, Mary explains that they had arrived early so that they could rehearse before the show aired live that evening. Everything had gone well until they had taken a break for lunch. Professor Oak invited Mary to lunch but while they were waiting for the elevator, two funny-looking scientists approached them. Professor Oak is intrigued after the scientists offer to show him something rare, so he stays behind and will catch up with Mary later. That was the last she saw of him. Ritchie guesses that the scientists had something to do with it, but [[Officer Jenny]] tells him that no one else has seen the scientists in the building, including the security guards.

Outside, Ritchie establishes that the only way out is through the front doors. There are doors at the back and on the roof, but they haven't been opened all day. Ritchie thinks for a moment, and then asks the guards if any large packages have been brought in. Ritchie explains his theory:  One person came in with a large package. Inside, a second person came out and they put Professor Oak inside. Then, they walked out the front door. The security guards says there was one delivery earlier that morning. A disguised [[Butch]] from [[Team Rocket]] had brought in a {{p|Nidoqueen}} costume, which [[Cassidy]] hid inside of, supposedly as a prop for ''Funniest Pokémon Home Videos''. Ritchie thinks it sounds like this is who took Professor Oak. As the guard recounts that one went in and two went out, leaving with the same stuffed Nidoqueen, it is obvious to Ritchie that they are the ones who took Professor Oak. The security guard tells them that the lorry they left in had a marking of a {{p|Pidgeot}}. As the only way off the island by road is the bridge back to [[Fuchsia City]], Ritchie gets Officer Jenny to set up a road block there.  They then head over there in a police car.

A disguised [[Butch]] from [[Team Rocket]] had brought in a {{p|Nidoqueen}} costume, which [[Cassidy]] hid inside of, supposedly as a prop for ''Funniest Pokémon Home Videos''. Ritchie thinks this is who most likely took Professor Oak. Ritchie's suspicions are confirmed, when the guard recounts that one person went in and two people came out, leaving with the same stuffed Nidoqueen. The security guard tells them that the lorry they left in had a marking of a {{p|Pidgeot}}. As the only way off the island by road is the bridge back to [[Fuchsia City]], Ritchie gets Officer Jenny to set up a road block there and they head off in that direction by police car.


As Butch and Cassidy speed towards the rendezvous point, with Oak tied up in the back, they recall their mission set by [[Professor Namba]]. As a part of Namba’s secret Pokémon Power Acceleration Project, he needs information from Professor Oak to advance his project. They make a right turn, and over at the police checkpoint Officer Jenny gets word that no truck fitting the description has left Seafoam island. Ritchie sends out Rose, his {{p|Taillow}}, and Tracey comments that Ash has a {{AP|Taillow}} too. Ritchie says that he and Ash tend to catch a lot of the same Pokémon. Ritchie tells Rose to search for the truck, but Rose does not know what a Pidgeot looks like.  So Tracey quickly {{pkmn|watcher|makes a sketch}} for Rose. Rose flies off.

In an abandoned warehouse, Professor Oak is awake, though tied to a chair. Butch contacts Namba through a big screen. Professor Namba explains to Professor Oak that the mysterious viral lifeform [[Pokérus]] is an important component of the PPAP, which make ill Pokémon evolve at a faster rate. However, all of his specimens have died out. So he tells Professor Oak to tell him everything he knows about Pokérus and where it grows. Professor Oak refuses to talk, so Butch and Cassidy start the torture by scraping a nail across a piece of glass. Once Professor Oak has finished screaming, Cassidy asks if he is ready to talk. Professor Oak states that he will never talk and continues to stall, so they do it repeatedly.

Rose hears Professor Oak's screams and heads back to Ritchie. On seeing Rose, Officer Jenny starts driving towards the warehouse. Rose flies in and crashes into the glass, shattering it. Turning, Butch and Cassidy see the rescue team at the door. Cassidy turns off the connection, and then tells Butch to get ready to run. Meanwhile, Tracey and Ritchie recognize them and, after Butch gets annoyed for being called "Botch", Ritchie tells them to hand the Professor over. Cassidy refuses and the two pick up Professor Oak and run out the back door.  Ritchie sends Sparky forward, but Cassidy sends out her {{p|Sableye}} to attack with {{m|Scratch}}.

Ritchie and Tracey run after them, but Professor Oak is already being loaded into the lorry and Butch sends out his {{p|Mightyena}}. Rose uses {{m|Gust}}, but Sableye hits it with a {{m|Focus Punch}}.  Tracey sends out his {{TP|Tracey|Scyther}}, which Mightyena attacks with {{m|Bite}}.  Scyther then counters with {{m|Slash}}, and Mightyena then uses {{m|Tackle}} on Scyther. As Mary calls to Tracey to be careful, Mightyena strikes Syther down with a {{m|Iron Tail}}, and so Tracey [[recall]]s it. Ritchie sends Sparky into the battle, and Sableye uses {{m|Fury Swipes}} on both it and Rose. Ritchie returns Rose and tells Sparky to step back. He then sends out [[Zippo]] the {{p|Charmeleon}} to use {{m|Flamethrower}}. Mightyena jumps aside, but some stray embers land on Professor Oak's head. In pain, he runs past everyone and right into the wall. Butch and Cassidy run over to get him back, busying Ritchie's Pokémon by sending their own Pokémon in to attack.  Sparky uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Sableye, who falls on Mightyena. Zippo then uses {{m|Fire Spin}} on the two of them, sending them into Butch and Cassidy. Sparky finishes with {{m|Thunder}}, blasting Butch and Cassidy off.

Professor Oak is alright, but Mary worries that they won't get to the live broadcast in time. Officer Jenny promises to get them there, and they make it in time to record an episode of ''Pokémon Masterchef'' in front of an audience. Later, Professor Oak asks what brought him around, and Ritchie asks if he can stay for a few days to get help with his Eevee. Professor Oak says he can stay around for a few weeks if he likes, and asks if Ritchie could help him to set up a security system at the lab. Mary calls them over to be contestants on ''I Wouldn't Eat That if I Were You''. That night, both boys went to bed with a stomach-ache, but Professor Oak stayed up to research Pokérus in order to try to discover Team Rocket's plans for it.

* In the dub, [[Ritchie]] mentions that he owns an {{p|Eevee}}. In the original version, he does not mention this Pokémon at all.
* In the English dub, [[Ritchie]] mentions that he owns an {{p|Eevee}}. In the original Japanese version, he does not mention this Pokémon at all.
* The Japanese version of the final scene is completely different from the English version (as seen in the above summary). Whereas the dub has Professor Oak wanting to set up a security system and Tracey and Ritchie wanting to appear on ''I Wouldn't Eat That If I Were You'', the original has Oak explaining to Tracey and Ritchie that [[Team Rocket]] captured him because he knows about Pokérus. Then, as [[DJ Mary]] shows up, Oak, Tracey, and Ritchie decide to head off home to Pallet Town.
