As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stop for lunch, a wild {{p|Elekid}} emerges from the shrubbery and promptly eats some of {{AP|Larvitar}}'s food. It prepares to attack the group, though {{AP|Pikachu}} responds with his own {{t|Electric}} attack. Ash tries to stop the conflict from escalating but gets shocked as a result. Elekid turns its attention to Larvitar and begins patting it on the back, though Larvitar doesn't seem to be enjoying the attention. Unexpectedly, {{TRT}} swoops in and nets both Elekid and Larvitar for themselves. Ash calls out {{AP|Bayleef}}, but her {{m|Razor Leaf}} attack fails to cut up the capture net. [[James]] orders his {{TP|James|Weezing}}, and its {{m|Smokescreen}} helps the Rocket trio escape in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]]. However, Elekid manages to break both Larvitar and itself free from Team Rocket, and the two begin wandering around the forest together.

As they search for Larvitar, Ash and his friends run into {{an|Casey}} and see that her Bayleef has [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Casey|Meganium}}. They learn that Casey is after the same Elekid that they saw earlier, so she joins them in their search. During their walk, Elekid overhears Larvitar's stomach grumbling. It promptly fetches some apples from a nearby tree and hands one to Larvitar. As Larvitar goes to nibble gently, Elekid shows it how to take a real bite. The small gesture instantly makes Larvitar feel at ease. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is standing from a tree branch and looking for any signs of their lost catches with a set of binoculars. James is feeling reluctant about all the effort for the little Pokemon, and {{MTR}}’s [[boss fantasy]] encourages him to continue searching. Meowth suddenly spots the duo, and soon enough Team Rocket recaptures their escapees with another drop net. Elekid tries an Electric attack to free itself, but the strategy fails as the net is engineered to withstand electricity. Larvitar resorts to {{m|Screech}}ing, and the ear-splitting noise alerts Ash and his friends to Team Rocket’s latest attempt. Casey has her Meganium to slice the net with a Razor Leaf. [[Jessie]] is infuriated and demands answers from James, who reveals that he swapped out the Razor Leaf-proof net for an electric-proof one. {{an|Brock}} orders out his {{TP|Brock|Forretress}}, and its {{m|Rapid Spin}} bursts Team Rocket's balloon and sends the evil trio blasting off. Ash and his friends rush to find Larvitar and Elekid, though they instead find the net entangled on a precarious cliff. The group decides to venture into the forest below to search for the missing pair.

After being blasted off, the Rocket trio crash lands onto the [[Magikarp salesman]], who promptly begins his usual sales pitch. James, remembering his losses to the [[EP015|salesman's earlier scams]], demands a refund, but the salesman offers to [[trade]] them a [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio#Victreebel|Weepinbell]] that knows {{m|Sweet Scent}} as a substitute. Jessie and Meowth agree to this deal. The trio considers their options and force James to trade away his prized {{TP|James|Victreebel}} because of its annoying habit of latching onto James’s head. Jessie makes the trade with the Magikarp salesman's portable [[trade machine]]. The dodgy salesman informs them that he won’t accept a trade back before quickly fleeing.
