Both Ash's group and Team Rocket head for the Shrine of the Maiden. They see the shrine's greatest treasure, a 2,000-year-old painting of the maiden. Brock and James both realize that the girl in the painting is the same girl they saw before, and both attempt to approach the painting but are blocked by a man presenting the painting to the audience. He tells the story of the maiden, who waited on the cliff for her loved one to return from the war, and eventually turned into stone. The two groups go to take a closer look at the cliff, and {{MTR}} formulates a plan to steal the painting, with the intention of selling it for a lot of money. As night falls, Brock is still at the cliff. Misty and Ash leave to enjoy the festival while Brock insists on staying at the cliff-side. When it is about time for the local [[Pokémon Center]] to lock the doors for the night, Brock still has not returned from the cliff, so Ash decides to go look for him, but [[Nurse Joy]] holds him back, giving Ash a short lecture on the importance of sleep. | Both Ash's group and Team Rocket head for the Shrine of the Maiden.

In the middle of the night, {{MTR}} tries to wake up Jessie and James so they can try to steal the painting, but the two are not very eager to wake up. Suddenly, a strong wind blows, and the doors of the Maiden's Shrine open. The ghost of the maiden floats out, causes Meowth to fall asleep, and then wakes up James. She also shows herself to Brock, telling him that she's been waiting for him. Brock replies that he has been waiting, too. Ash and Misty start looking for Brock the next morning, while Meowth and Jessie search for James. Ash and Jessie meet face-to-face and notice that they both are looking for someone who is missing. Jessie performs the [[Team Rocket mottos|Team Rocket motto]] all alone, but then realizes that she can hear James saying his lines. James, and later Brock, are thrown out of the shrine. As they all try to return Brock and James to normal, the old lady appears again, reminding them of her warning about the ghost of the maiden.

As they all try to return Brock and James to normal, the old lady appears again, reminding them of her warning about the ghost of the maiden. Pikachu shocks James and Brock, which finally restores them to their "normal" selves. They all head inside, and the old lady explains how all young men passing through Maiden's Peak fall into its curse. They decide to protect themselves from the ghost by buying a large quantity of {{wp|ofuda}} or anti-ghost stickers, and placing them around the shrine and the two cursed ones. However, when night comes, they note that the stickers do not work, and the ghost of the maiden returns. Ash and the others try to prevent Brock and James from being pulled out by the maiden. | ||
After being shot with a bazooka by Jessie, the ghost of the maiden summons several skull-like ghostly apparitions. Ash tries to identify them with his [[Pokédex]], but with no results. However, the Pokédex is still searching for one and, when Ash points the Pokédex at the ghost of the maiden, it identifies her as a {{p|Gastly}}, who is impersonating the old lady as well. Since Gastly's disguise has been revealed, it transforms back to its normal form. Ash challenges it to a {{pkmn|battle}}, sending in Pikachu, when Gastly summons a living mouse trap to scare Pikachu off. Meowth states that mouse traps do not work on him, but Gastly summons a ball for him to play with, distracting him. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, only for it to be scared off by Gastly's newly summoned mongoose. James commands his {{TP|James|Koffing}} to attack with the {{m|Poison Gas}} attack, but the mongoose puts on a gas mask and stomps Koffing down. | After being shot with a bazooka by Jessie, the ghost of the maiden summons several skull-like ghostly apparitions.
