A bright and sunny day begins our adventure as {{Ash}} gently places his third [[Frontier Symbol|Symbol]] into place. [[Max]] checks his [[PokéNav]] and tells them that the nearest facility is the Battle Pike, near [[Fuchsia City]]. {{an|May}} polishes her {{pkmn|Egg}} with {{AP|Phanpy}} watching nearby. They talk about the Egg and how long it took for Phanpy to hatch from one. May then lifts the lid on the container and gently places the Egg inside. A thunderous sound erupts as everyone looks overhead to sight an overpowering thunderstorm. A thunderbolt then sparks from the storm and explodes into the nearby mountainous region. Everyone dashes off into the distance towards the disturbance.

Coming out of the brush, Max sights several severely injured {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which consists of {{p|Nuzleaf}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, and a few others. A strange sound comes from the bushes as they rush over to find an {{p|Elekid}} fighting an {{p|Exeggutor}} while May quickly queries its [[Pokédex]] data. Elekid starts rotating its arms at a high speed generating an enormous amount of energy and thrusts Exeggutor backwards. Going berserk, Elekid goes for another attack electrifying Exeggutor and [[fainting|knocking it unconscious]]. Ash attempts to stop Elekid but it just angrily launches a {{m|Thunder}} attack towards {{AP|Pikachu}}. The attack is avoided as Pikachu retaliates with an {{m|Iron Tail}}. Elekid dodges this attack and attacks quickly, sending an electrifying charge throughout Pikachu. Pikachu then recovers from the attack and thrusts towards Elekid with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, but the attack fails and Pikachu gets pushed back by Elekid. Elekid then dashes towards him with a {{m|ThunderPunch}} but {{AP|Phanpy}} intervenes and blocks the attack. Phanpy then performs a {{m|Rollout}} knocking Elekid backwards. This only angers Elekid more as its power greatly increases sending electrical bolts in every direction. Everyone dodges the attack but May drops her Pokémon Egg as Max takes a direct hit from the uncontrollable energy. Elekid then launches May's Egg into the air and on top of its head as it devastates the area destroying trees and terrain. The dust and smoke clears as Elekid has disappeared with May's Egg. After a few moments, May finally notices that Elekid has escaped with her Egg. Elekid tries to remove the Egg from atop his head but it is lodged between both of his ears.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is walking down a path as {{MTR}} spots an injured {{p|Scyther}} in the path ahead. Elekid walks across Team Rocket's path as they devise a plan to capture Elekid. This plan is thwarted as Elekid begins rapidly spinning its arms and sends Team Rocket blasting off into the sky with {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} being blasted in the opposite direction.

Elekid manages to remove the Egg from atop its head. Ash and everyone is searching for May's lost Egg as Team Rocket begins searching for Mime Jr.. Ahead in the path, Meowth spots the Egg that was lodged between Elekid's ears. While [[Jessie]] is excited with this find, James is still worried about Mime Jr..

 

Team Rocket is still searching for Mime Jr. as an electrical disturbance sparks nearby and Elekid appears from the nearby underbrush. As James tries to dash towards Elekid, Jessie restrains him and Elekid dashes forward with another ThunderPunch sending Team Rocket blasting off again. In another location, everyone else is searching for May's Egg. Brock then recalls in the past with Pikachu being overcharged with electrical energy and notes that Elekid is in the same condition. A bolt of lightning erupts into the nearby ground as another bolt erupts from the sky and electrifies Pikachu. Pikachu begins the battle with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} as then a strange {{TP|Team Rocket|mecha|mechas}} comes thundering from the distance with Team Rocket setting the usual scene. May identifies that James has her Egg while James notices that May has Mime Jr.. James then rushes down as May and James trade for Mime Jr. and the Egg. James then returns back to the mecha as a net is launched from the mecha with Pikachu dodging and electrifying the mecha.

With Elekid now returned to normal, everyone gives Elekid an honorable departure as Ash inches ever so closer to the next big adventure.
