{{AP|Pikachu}}'s cheeks are sparking with electricity as [[Colonel Hansen]] orders his Pokémon to attack. His two {{p|Ninjask}} use {{m|Hyper Beam}} while {{p|Shedinja}} unleashes a {{m|Solar Beam}} at the group. {{an|Misty}} watches as {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} protects everyone from the attacks with a {{m|Safeguard}}. After that, {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and the others disappear, much to Colonel Hansen's dismay. They find themselves in a mysterious [[dimension]], which {{ho|Miranda}} calls the [[Togepi Paradise]]. She explains that the [[Mirage Kingdom]] and Togepi Paradise help to protect each other, but she is sad to say that a lot has changed since the last time she was here. Misty's Togepi leads everyone to some injured Togepi. {{an|May}} consults her [[Pokédex]] for a solution which details that Togepi has the ability to sense people's hearts, but its power will be weakened if it senses impurity in a Trainer. Hansen and his Pokémon manage to break into the Togepi Paradise, a feat which does not go unnoticed by Ash and the others. Togepi floats towards Hansen, much to the surprise of everyone. With Togepi in his grasp, Hansen makes his way towards the palace to demand the throne from the [[King and Queen of the Mirage Kingdom|King]]. When the King refuses, Hansen sends the reigning monarchs to the dungeon. | |||
Misty is left fuming and attempts to break through the time-space barrier to the Mirage Kingdom. The weakened Togepi use their power to assist the group in returning. Later, as they make their way through town, {{an|Brock}} leads the discussion and states they have to defeat Colonel Hansen's {{t|Bug}} Pokémon. May replies that her {{type|Fire}} {{TP|May|Torchic}} would be perfect. Suddenly [[Jessie]] appears on a broadcast screen to announce that Colonel Hansen is now the Mirage Kingdom's regent. Miranda and the townspeople are aghast, and [[Princess Sara]] is now deeply concerned for her parents. Meanwhile, {{TRT}}'s attention turns to their reward, but Hansen declares that he has no need for them anymore. The Team Rocket trio think it is a cruel joke, but realize Hansen has betrayed them after he orders his Pokémon to send them blasting off. | |||
[[Ash's Taillow]] and [[May's Beautifly]] conduct an aerial search of the palace, but report back without any news. Miranda advises the group that the King and Queen are likely being kept in the tower, so Brock suggests they break into the palace. Ash, Misty, May, and Princess Sara decide that they will rescue Togepi while Brock, [[Max]], and Miranda search for Sara's parents. As Brock, Max, and Miranda look for the King, [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|two fortune tellers]], who are actually Team Rocket in disguise, inform them of the King's location. After that, Team Rocket disappears, their revenge on Hansen for betraying them complete. Miranda says she'll lead Brock and Max to the hinted location. | |||
Meanwhile, Colonel Hansen arrives at the coronation temple with Togepi in hand, and the priest officially declares him the new monarch of the Mirage Kingdom. He leaves the complex and orders Togepi to use {{m|Metronome}} to open the portal to the Togepi Paradise. However, Ash and the others arrive to stop his plans. Colonel Hansen refuses to listen and instead orders his Pokémon to attack. May sends out Torchic, but she quickly [[recall]]s it after it is hit by a {{m|Shadow Ball}} from one of Colonel Hansen's Ninjask. {{AP|Pikachu}}, however, manages to knock out both Ninjask with a {{m|Thunder}} attack. As Shedinja charges up a Solar Beam, a Safeguard intervenes, with the defenses source revealed to be the Togepi from the Paradise. The Paradise Togepi perform a Metronome and bestow a mysterious blue light on Misty's Togepi. Next, Togepi bursts with blue energy before [[evolution|evolving]] into {{p|Togetic}}. Ash and the others look quite bewildered by Togetic's new form. It flies up to the Paradise Togepi and protects them from an oncoming Solar Beam, which irritates Colonel Hansen. Togetic causes the area to flare with bright white light. Misty smiles and tells Togetic to leave everything to her. She takes out a {{i|Poké Ball}}, kisses it, and calls out her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}, much to Ash's surprise, as he's never seen her use one before. Hansen is not fazed one bit, knowing that Gyarados's {{t|Water}} attacks are useless against his Shedinja. Misty does not back down and confidently orders Gyarados to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, much to Hansen's horror. The Fire-type attack deals great [[damage]] to the Bug-type Shedinja, finally knocking it out. It also burns off part of Hansen's mustache. While everyone wonders why Gyarados can use Flamethrower, Misty states that some Water Pokémon can learn Fire attacks, too. The King and Queen, with their guards, Brock, Max, and Miranda all behind them, arrive at that moment and confront Hansen, and he is sent to the dungeon for his treachery. Team Rocket spies on the scene from a rooftop and are pleased to see Hansen being taken away. | |||
Later, the Togepi appear cheerier than before and return to the Paradise. Togetic informs Misty that it wishes to stay behind in the Paradise and become its protector to prevent people like Hansen from causing harm. Misty [[Released Pokémon|releases]] Togetic, and they share one last tearful moment before bidding each other farewell. As Togetic enters the Togepi Paradise, the sky mirage fades. Princess Sara assures Misty that she will protect the Paradise and Togetic from harm. Something is tugging at the Princess's dress, and Sara is surprised to see a Togepi, likely one that didn't return to Paradise with the others. She is happy, because not only does she get a Togepi, but she is also eligible to become the new ruler. Later, as Misty prepares to return to [[Cerulean City]] and resume her [[Gym Leader]] duties, she wishes everyone the best of luck with their endeavors and invites them to visit her sometime. Ash and the others wave to Misty as she leaves back to [[Kanto]] in a blimp. Meanwhile, at the Paradise, Togetic happily looks around the lush landscape. | |||
