==Plot==
{{Ash}} wonders what will hatch from his Egg. He says that all he wants is that the Pokémon will be healthy. It also seems like he's not the only one interested in the Egg. {{TRT}} spies on them, also daydreaming about what's inside the Egg. Meowth thinks it might be a legendary Pokémon, like {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, or {{p|Moltres}}, but Jessie and James think that can't happen. Presently, some storm clouds start to form, causing Pikachu to get excited from the electricity. {{an|Brock}} says that there is a [[Pokémon Center]] nearby and they should get there as soon as possible. Their pace is decided when a bolt of lightning strikes nearby. It looks like that bolt hit Team Rocket, ruining their plan.  
While {{Ash}} wonders what will hatch from his {{pkmn|Egg}}, {{TRT}} are also keen to find out. {{MTR}} thinks it might be a [[Legendary Pokémon]], though his teammates have their doubts. [[Jessie]] then declares that they will steal the Egg, and her teammates cheer to the idea.


It starts to pour and the group runs for that Pokémon Center Brock mentioned. When they get there, they are greeted by [[Nurse Joy]], who gives them a room. They decide to hit the hay and turn in. When the lights are out, Team Rocket, who is waiting just outside the Center, decides to make their way in. Meowth picks the lock on the outside door and they go in. Every so often Wobbuffet just comes in a makes a loud shout, which ends up getting him beaten down. Finally they make it to Ash's room, and {{MTR}} picks that lock as well. They wonder how they can easily get the Egg, so they hook Meowth to a fishing pole. They sneak their way in, then Brock starts talking, except it's only in his sleep. Then they fuss over who gets credit for the Egg. Through all this, Togepi wakes up and starts using {{m|Metronome}}. Before Team Rocket could finish, the Egg teleports away just outside the center, leaving them baffled.  
Storm clouds begin to gather causing {{AP|Pikachu}} to get excited from the electricity. {{an|Brock}} says that there is a [[Pokémon Center]] nearby and they should get there as soon as possible. A bolt of lightning strikes nearby and ruins Team Rocket’s next plan. The group rushes into a Pokémon Center. Brock eyes off the resident [[Nurse Joy]], but {{an|Misty}} pulls him away by the ear. Joy gives the group a room, admitting they are her only guests for the night. Meanwhile, Team Rocket wait for the lights to finally dim before breaking into the Center. They tiptoe through the hallway {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} emerges from his [[Poké Ball]] and almost disturbs the peace with his loud shout, but Jessie and the others beat him to the ground. The trio soon reaches the group's room. Meowth picks the lock with his sharp claw. They wonder how they can easily get the Egg, so they tie Meowth onto a fishing pole. They sneak their way in, and then they fuss over who gets credit for the Egg. Though their squabble wakes up {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, who {{m|Teleport}}s the Egg outside using its {{m|Metronome}}. The trio are startled when Brock starts talking, except it's only in his sleep. The Rockets turn their attention to the Egg again, but it seems to have vanished. They are distracted again, this time by Wobbuffet who appears with an apple in hand. Jessie decides a snack break is in order. Wobbuffet points them to a basket of fruit in the kitchen down the hall. Rushing to the kitchen, Team Rocket trips over Wobbuffet and they all fall flat on their faces. They shush each other to avoid raising nay alarms. Later outside, an infant {{p|Kangaskhan}} approaches the odd [[Egg case]] with caution. She taps on the glass out of curiosity, causing the Egg to simply roll out of its case. Her mother comes along. She promptly puts the Egg and her baby into her protective pouch before wandering back into the wilderness.


Then they notice {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} eating an apple. They forget about the Egg and want to know where he got the food, which Wobbuffet points to a basket of fruit in the kitchen down the hall. Rushing to the kitchen, Team Rocket falls flat on their faces. Later outside, where the Egg is teleported, a {{p|Kangaskhan}} Joey walks to it and taps it a couple of times before its mother comes along. The Kangaskhan takes a look at the Egg, then puts it in her pouch along with the Joey.  
Overnight Ash dreams about the Egg, only it appears much larger. The Egg suddenly cracks, revealing another Egg inside and it keeps going until there's nothing left. Ash wakes up from the nightmare. He looks over at the room’s desk and notices that the Egg is missing. He searches frantically and his shouting disturbs everyone including Nurse Joy. By morning [[Officer Jenny]] arrives on the scene, and the police sirens lead Team Rocket to hide in the Center kitchen momentarily. Ash tells her about his missing Egg and Jenny says that she can solve this one right out, they don't call her the Great Police Detective for nothing. A {{p|Chansey}} comes by to see what's going on and Jenny thinks maybe one of the Chansey may have it. Joy inspects her two Chansey, but neither have the Egg. Jenny tries another idea, she gets out her {{p|Growlithe}} in order to search for clues. The Growlithe sniffs Ash to get his scent. Growlithe rushes ahead and leads everyone outside to the empty Egg case. A sudden rustle alerts to who he thinks might be the culprit, but it turns out to be a wild {{p|Exeggcute}}. Joy remembers that there are Exeggcute nests nearby, and so they decide to inspect them. However this yields no results.  


Ash is dreaming about the Egg, only a lot larger. It begins to crack and open, breaking into another Egg, and then it breaks into another, and it keeps going until there's nothing left. After that, Ash wakes up and walks over towards the table on which his Egg was sitting, only to see that it is not there. He looks around but can't find any trace of the Egg. Misty and Pikachu get up wondering what's going on, Ash tells them. Brock goes off talking in his sleep again, then Joy knocks on the door wondering what happened.  
Misty considers checking the Center again, and Jenny leads everyone back to the crime scene. Officer Jenny investigates the room and discovers no signs of forced entry. With that in mind it must be an inside job, so she accuses Brock of stealing the Egg. Jenny explains her reasoning; Brock got jealous because Misty had her Togepi and Ash had his unhatched Egg. Ash and Misty believe the story, and they asks for Brock to explain himself. Brock collapses to the group and apologizes before realizing that he wasn't the Egg thief. As Jenny pulls Brock away by the wrists, Misty notices some scratch marks on the doorknob. Jenny concludes that Brock must have scratched the knob to make it look like someone else picked the lock. Jenny continues to march off with Brock, but Joy says that there were also scratch marks on the knob on the outside door. Now it can't be Brock since he was inside the whole time.  


The next day, all of them wait outside for [[Officer Jenny]] to come by. Ash tells her about his missing Egg and Jenny says that she can solve this one right out, they don't call her the Great Police Detective for nothing. A {{p|Chansey}} comes by to see what's going on and Jenny thinks maybe one of the Chansey may have it. Joy checks them out and none of them do. Jenny tries another idea, she gets out her {{p|Growlithe}} in order to search for clues. The Growlithe sniffs Ash to get his scent and then runs off. The only thing that the Growlithe finds is the case.  
Jenny decides to use her {{p|Jumpluff}} for another investigation. The Jumpluff sprinkles some pollen onto the floor, which reveals a lot of shoeprints. Nurse Joy explains that she cleaned the floor thoroughly yesterday afternoon, meaning that only Ash's group, she and Officer Jenny would have left any trace. Jenny inspects everyone's shoes and starts to look around. They then notice that some different shoe prints that appear to be the closest to the desk. The significant distance between the desk and these footprints is also suspicious, indicating either the thief had long arms or they had a Pokémon assist them. Ash suggests {{m|Vine Whip}} would help. Misty then points out that Ash has a {{AP|Bayleef}}. The circumstantial evidence leads Jenny to declare that Ash must be the culprit. Ash pleads his innocence and Misty reminds Officer Jenny of the different footprints. With that in mind, Jenny has Jumpluff sprinkle the hallway for more clues. Jenny spots some Pokémon [[footprint]]s with her magnifying glass. She declares that the culprit must be a {{p|Suicune}}, but Brock notices that the prints are too small. Unable to actually identify the footprints, the group decides to instead follow the trail.


They head back to check out the room. Jenny notices Misty's Togepi. She gets another idea that it was Brock who stole the Egg. She explains that Ash and Misty both had an Egg, but Brock never did. So late at night, he stole the Egg while everyone was asleep. They believe her at first, but stop her as she tries to arrest Brock. Misty points out scratch marks on the doorknob before they leave. Jenny states that Brock must have scratched the knob to make it look like someone else picked the lock. Jenny continues to march off with Brock, but Joy says that there were also scratch marks on the knob on the outside door. Now it can't be Brock since he was inside the whole time.  
They spot four face prints, belonging to the Rocket trio and Jessie's Wobbuffet. Brock also points out that James owns a {{TP|James|Victreebel}} that knows Vine Whip. Jenny declares that she knew it was Team Rocket, and her "suspicions" leads the detective party to the kitchen. Officer Jenny reaches for the doorknob, but notices it appears to be locked. Nurse Joy explains that the kitchen door doesn’t have a lock on it. In fact Team Rocket have pushed themselves up against the door. Everyone decides to knock the door down. As they run at the door it gives way, causing them to fall. The Rocket trio flees outside and Ash's group gives chase. They lose Team Rocket at first, but not before finding their footprints in the road. They are soon stopped by Kangaskhan. Brock tells everyone to look because Ash's Egg is in her pouch. Ash tells the Kangaskhan that the Egg is his. Kangaskhan sniffs the Egg, she then smells Ash to confirm his story before happily returning the Egg to Ash. Jenny figures that when Team Rocket was running away with the Egg, the Kangaskhan stopped them and fought them for it. Just as this little scene happens, Team Rocket swipes the Egg for real with an extendable grabber hand from their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]]. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to try to stall Ash and the others for a while, but the Kangaskhan {{m|Dizzy Punch}}es Arbok back at them. Jenny calls out her Growlithe to use {{m|Flamethrower}} on the hand, causing it to drop the Egg. Ash runs up to catch the Egg, and he does. He then orders Pikachu to deliver a {{m|Thunderbolt}} which blows up the balloon and sends Team Rocket blasting off. Afterwards, Officer Jenny gives the Kangaskhan a salute and thanks them for their civil service.  


Jenny decides to use her {{p|Jumpluff}} for another investigation. The Jumpluff sprinkles some pollen onto the floor, which shows the shoeprints. Jenny checks out everyone's shoes and starts to look around. They then notice that the shoeprints are way out of reach of the table. Jenny has Jumpluff sprinkle the hallway. Jenny then comes up with a Pokémon [[footprint]]. She thinks it was a {{p|Suicune}}, but obviously, it must be Meowth's. Later on, they see four faceprints, Team Rocket's faceprints! Team Rocket hears the investigation. while they're still in the kitchen, Ash and {{Ashfr}} run to the door. Team Rocket holds it steady but lets go as soon as everyone tries to tackle the door down and they run off.
Back at the Center, Officer Jenny admits that the missing Egg case had a lot of unexpected twists, though Misty thinks that Jenny made the investigation more complicated. Brock asks Officer Jenny to solve the case of the lovesick Breeder, though Misty apologizes to the Officer before pulling Brock away by the ear. Nurse Joy wishes Ash all the best with the Egg. Soon after, Ash and his friends continue their journey towards [[Mahogany Town]].
 
They lose Team Rocket at first, but not before finding their footprints in the road. They are soon stopped by Kangaskhan. Brock tells everyone to look, because Ash's Egg is in her pouch. Ash tells the Kangaskhan that the Egg is his, so the Kangaskhan sniffs it, then Ash and lets Ash take it. Jenny figures that when Team Rocket was running away with the Egg, the Kangaskhan stopped them and fought them for it. Just as this little scene happens, Team Rocket swipes it for real with a hand in their balloon. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to try to stall them for a while but the Kangaskhan uses {{m|Dizzy Punch}}, sending it all the way back. Jenny calls out her Growlithe to use {{m|Flamethrower}} on the hand, causing it to drop the Egg. Ash runs up to catch the Egg, and when he does, he tells Pikachu to let out a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, blowing up the balloon and sending Team Rocket blasting off.
 
They thank Kangaskhan afterwards for her help and later that evening; the group sets off to [[Mahogany Town]].
