<i>Our heroes spot a confused flock of Pokémon and realize something isn't right, especially once an unusual aurora appears in the sky and their Poké Balls and PokéNav stop working! That's when they spot Solana, the Pokémon Ranger, who helps get the Pokémon going in the right direction.

Solana notices {{p|Plusle}} being affected by the geomagnetic disturbance as she approaches a cave. Solana notices Max following as Ash and his friends find Max. Solana lets them follow as Brock takes the geomagnetic scanner. The group heads into the cave as Team Rocket follows. Brock mentions the scanner's status as Max pushes ahead. The geomagnetic disturbance suddenly disappears, the scanner pointing out all clear. However, Solana believes it is intermittent. Max gets impatient and presses ahead, noticing a {{p|Miltank}}. Solana uses the Styler to capture Miltank. The group finds the meteorite. Another disturbance fires up as Deoxys appears atop the meteorite. | Solana notices {{p|Plusle}} being affected by the geomagnetic disturbance as she approaches a cave.

Solana decides to use her Styler to capture Deoxys, but it must be in {{form|Deoxys|Normal Forme}}. Deoxys switches to Normal Forme and she makes her move, but it quickly changes to {{form|Deoxys|Speed Forme}} and dodges. Max hears Deoxys trying to talk as it switches to Normal. She tries again, but it switches to Defense and resists the Styler. Max looks into its eyes as it fires another Psycho Boost, everyone dodging. Team Rocket arrives and {{MTR}} points out that Deoxys in pain. Deoxys flies around as Solana's Styler points out Deoxys is in pain, but from an unknown reason. | ||

Meowth tries to talk to Deoxys as Max climbs up onto the meteorite to Deoxys. Meowth can't understand Deoxys as it emits a {{m|Safeguard}} around the meteorite and the three.
