The episode begins with a {{p|Purrloin}} watching two {{p|Tranquill}} in their nest with a sprig of Berries. The Tranquill then make communication via flapping their wings and leave their nest, leaving the Berries behind.

The Tranquill then make communication via flapping their wings and leave their nest, leaving the Berries behind. Purrloin sneaks into the nest, and eats one, only to be discovered by one of the Tranquill. Purrloin unsheathes his claws in response, and while thinking that it is safe, a huge group of Tranquill swarm the nest. Purrloin quickly dives from the nest and begins to run for safety, being pursued by the Tranquill. However, Purrloin gains speed and races off into the depths of the forest, leaving the confused Tranquill behind. Ash and his companions are shown walking towards the Gym which is required for Ash to obtain his fourth Badge of the Unova region, however {{MTR}} is also with them. Meowth explains that he is in fact good in character, and that everything is better with his new friends. {{AP|Pikachu}}, however, still doubts Meowth in his actions. Meowth is deeply moved by Ash's sentiments towards him in contrast to Pikachu's, and begins to wail and cry in joy. Meowth is in the middle of a huge emotional scene, when Purrloin runs into him, knocking him over. Meowth turns to see his attacker, only to fall in love with Purrloin. Purrloin is then checked in the Pokédex, and suddenly {{an|Cilan}} holds his arms up in front of him in defense, very briefly stating that a Purrloin did something terrible to him once, and that he doesn't want to talk about it. | ||
Meowth asks Purrloin what is wrong, and (after looking away from Meowth in a devious manner) Purrloin begins to plead to Meowth. Meowth, shocked, then turns to the others and explains that Purrloin is asking for help. Cilan tells them not to fall for Purrloin's cuteness, only to have Meowth decide to help Purrloin. Then, all of a sudden, the group are attacked with {{m|Gust}} by the Tranquill, who have discovered Purrloin's location. Ash, stating that they must be agitated, then sends out {{AP|Oshawott}} to help, using {{m|Water Gun}} in combination with Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. The Tranquill then flee in fear. Purrloin then tries to creep away, only to have Meowth stop her. She then flatters Meowth, and also infatuates Oshawott. Meowth then begins to fight over Purrloin with Oshawott, however Ash stops the fighting. After the group then goes to the side of a stream to repose themselves, Purrloin explains to Meowth that she didn't realize that the Berries belonged to the Tranquill, and Cilan yet again dismisses this behavior. Oshawott then uses Water Gun on Ash and Cilan, knocking some Berries out of Ash's [[bag|backpack]]. Iris also begins to become taken with Purrloin at this stage, and tries to catch her, however Meowth blocks her and almost becomes caught by her {{ball|Poké}}. Purrloin then sneaks away, preparing to steal the Berries from Ash's backpack. | Meowth asks Purrloin what is wrong, and (after looking away from Meowth in a devious manner) Purrloin begins to plead to Meowth.

[[Jessie]] and [[James]] are then shown taking photographs in [[Anville Town]], and discussing their feelings of loss about Meowth. They then state that their plans will be undertaken that night. Purrloin is shown running back to Ash and the others, and explains that her friends are stuck in a deep cave up the road. Ash and the others decide to go to assist, however Cilan decides to stay behind, as he can't bring himself to trust Purrloin. She leads them up a steep and rocky mountain, and Ash begins to get tired. Purrloin states that they are almost there, however. She tells Ash to leave his backpack because it is heavy and it might get in the way. However, Ash refuses. Cilan is then depicted in worry about the others, only to have [[Misha]] with her arm in a sling arrive and ask Cilan if she has seen a Purrloin, which is shown in a photograph. | [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are then shown taking photographs in [[Anville Town]], and discussing their feelings of loss about Meowth.

Ash and his companions are then portrayed as running down an abandoned mine tunnel, and Purrloin gestures to a hole in the side of the tunnel which is very miniscule, explaining that the group must crawl through. Ash and the others barely squeeze through, so Meowth is told to make Ash give Purrloin his backpack because it gets even narrower. The narrow hole then opens to a grand hole full of rubble from mining tools, and Purrloin explains that her friends are down there and Meowth must leave the backpack up above. The group jump down the scaffolding, which is very old and begins to creak and shudder. Purrloin then calls goodbye from above, with Ash's backpack, stating that she has no business with them anymore now that she has their food.

The scaffolding then tumbles, and while Purrloin checks to see if they are alright, Cilan and the Misha catch up with them. Purrloin asks why she was abandoned, and the young lady explains that while Purrloin was at home and she out, the young lady had been in an accident and had been unable to come home. The hospital had let her leave, only to find Purrloin gone. | ||
Purrloin accepts the story, but Ash and his group begin to sink into the ground, which is acting like quicksand. Cilan and the lady try to help, but end up in the quicksand too. Purrloin runs for help. Ash uses {{AP|Snivy}} with {{m|Vine Whip}} to pull them to safety, however {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} are needed also. The rope then snaps, but just before all seems lost, the Tranquill return and pull the group to safety, thanks to Purrloin. The group then thank Purrloin, however amidst all the romantic confusion, it is revealed that Purrloin is actually male. The group then go off in search of new adventures, however {{TRT}} are then shown calling in a helicopter, the mobile lab [[Dr. Zager]], into Anville Town so that their evil plans can be advanced. | Purrloin accepts the story, but Ash and his group begin to sink into the ground, which is acting like quicksand.
