Suddenly, a scratched-up Meowth stumbles from the bushes and collapses in front of the group, who treat it back to health. When Meowth comes to, he thanks them graciously and tells the group, who is skeptical of his intentions, that he came to warn them about danger. He tells the story, beginning with the bright light Malamar used on Team Rocket. Jessie and James shook it off, sent out {{TP|James|Inkay}} and {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}, and commanded them to use {{m|Psybeam}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}} respectively. However, the Pokémon were stopped by Malamar's bright light, which turned their eyes blank and brainwashed them, Jessie, and James. Meowth realized that he could remain conscious only by enduring intense physical pain, so he used {{m|Fury Swipes}} on himself and escaped. Meowth warns the children that they must run because Madame X is also targeting Pikachu, but they remain skeptical. Just then, a brainwashed Jessie, James, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} appear behind Meowth, telling him to hurry up and capture Pikachu. The group runs away only to immediately turn into Madame X and Malamar. Malamar uses its bright light, and Meowth warns the children not to look into it. Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Electro Ball}}, and the group uses the opportunity to flee, but are stopped by Jessie and James, who look to make Pikachu part of Madame X's Pokémon corps. Pikachu is lifted into the air by Malamar's {{m|Psychic}}, and he and his captor disappear into the distant sky. | ||

The group follows after the machine, which brings them to the radio observatory, where it gets stuck in the fence and electrocutes the group. {{an|Bonnie}} notices [[Officer Jenny]]'s motor bike parked outside the observatory and assumes that the observatory is Madame X's hideout and Officer Jenny came to investigate. The group goes inside, watched by a security camera. Inside the observatory, Malamar brainwashes Pikachu. Team Rocket notify Madame X that Ash and his friends are on the property. | ||
In the observatory halls, Ash's group splits up, Clemont with his sister and {{an|Serena}} with Ash. Clemont and Bonnie are met with Malamar, who brainwashes them.

Ash asks Meowth to use Fury Swipes on him, to which Meowth complies, using the attack on both himself and Ash. However, Serena, not wanting her face to be scratched up, is brainwashed.

The pair arrive at an observation chamber and are greeted by Madame X, who makes Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Ash, and attacks him again and again. Ash is determined to get through to his partner, but the situation grows more dire as the Pokémon corps are revealed, consisting of a {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Noivern}}, {{p|Pangoro}}, {{p|Scolipede}}, and {{p|Exploud}}. Pikachu electrocutes Ash continuously, forcing Ash to his knees, but he, in the midst of the electricity, tries to communicate with Pikachu. As Ash tells Pikachu that he believes in him, Pikachu hesitates in his attack. Outside the observatory, Clemont's machine awakes and rushes off towards the observatory. It comes into the observation chamber and crashes into Malamar as it bursts into flames, and Madame X screams and falls at her defeat. All the brainwashed people and Pokémon return to normal, including Pikachu and the Pokémon corps. Madame X's cloak falls off, and reveals her to be Officer Jenny, who had been brainwashed by Malamar, who appears behind her. Meowth translates for Malamar, who hopes to restructure the world under its command using a mind control machine. James and Ash send Inkay and Pikachu to attack Malamar, but it escapes. | ||

Malamar decides to abandon the place since it was originally owned by humans, and makes it explode, forcing the humans to take shelter. The humans, their Pokémon, and the Pokémon corps escape outside as the observatory explodes behind them. They watch as Malamar flies off into the sky, and wonder what its grand plan was. | ||
