{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} have seen the film as well, which Ash considers degrading to the Clefairy, saying that the movie depicts them like {{wp|E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial}}. When he adds that nobody knows what the Clefairy are really like, Misty and Brock give him a hard time, reminding him that he has [[ET03|witnessed a Clefairy evolution ceremony]]. Ash wonders aloud how [[Professor Oak]] is doing, when Oak appears behind him. | {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} have seen the film as well, which Ash considers degrading to the Clefairy, saying that the movie depicts them like {{wp|E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial}}.

Prof. Oak explains that he has been asked to appear on TV along with another professor, Professor Orville. Professor Orville is interviewed for TV, asserting that the recent UFO sightings in Apple City support his theory that Clefairy are from outer space. He goes into further detail, noting that there have been many strange occurences in the city, such as electronic devices behaving strangely and objects floating in midair. Professor Oak objects to this, stating that Clefairy are very rare and unlikely to appear in a city, and that their {{t|Psychic}} powers aren't necessarily strong enough to cause such odd disturbances. Meanwhile, Mimi is back in her home, wondering where the Clefairy she saw the night before were. | Prof. Oak explains that he has been asked to appear on TV along with another professor, [[Oswald|Professor Orville]].

When out to dinner at a restaurant with Professor Oak, Ash and friends notice the table beginning to shake and tip over. In the commotion, a shadowy figure runs off with a dinner plate. Professor Oak sends out a {{p|Sandshrew}} and has it use {{m|Fissure}} on the shadowy figure, which turns out to indeed be a Clefairy. {{AP|Pikachu}} runs after it and attaches a tracking device. | When out to dinner at a restaurant with Professor Oak, Ash and friends notice the table beginning to shake and tip over.
