The episode opens with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} crossing a rickety bridge to reach a nearby town. As {{AP|Pikachu}} eagerly crosses the old wooden bridge, the planks break under the small Pokémon's weight, and Pikachu nearly plummets into the river! However, with a feat of acrobatics, Pikachu manages to leap from the dangerous bridge onto Ash's head. As Ash recovers from the blow, he looks up and an {{p|Absol}} -- a Pokémon known for heralding disaster -- is standing just on the other side of the broken bridge! As Ash postulates that Absol's appearance is related to the destruction of the bridge, two armed villagers approach the Absol and begin to shout angrily at the Pokémon, claiming it's "another bridge" that Absol has destroyed. Absol evades capture easily, and Ash and company leave for the nearby town to inquire about Absol further. Apparently, a spate of minor disasters, including the destruction of three bridges, started with Absol's appearance several months ago. The villagers say that their problems should soon be over, though, because they've hired "expert Absol hunters" ({{TRT}} in disguise with ridiculous accents) to rid the village of their problems. Meanwhile, Team Rocket decides to capture Pikachu instead of Absol (reasoning that giving Absol to the boss would result in disasters for them). | The episode opens with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} crossing a rickety bridge to reach a nearby town.

Right before Team Rocket is about to leave with Ash, though, a boy, {{ | Right before Team Rocket is about to leave with Ash, though, a boy, {{OBP|Nicky|AG107}} appears and shouts at Team Rocket, claiming that Absol would never be caught by their likes. It's soon revealed that Nicky's elder brother {{OBP|Gordon|AG107}}, had left town to catch an Absol because Gordon didn't believe that Absol caused disasters. Nicky reasons that if his brother can't catch an Absol, then Team Rocket can't either. While Team Rocket leaves on their hunt, Nicky, Ash, and company leave for a nearby mountain-top -- reasoning that from a higher vantage point they would have a better chance of catching Absol. However, just as the party passes some mysterious water-filled rocks, Absol finds them. As Absol advances on [[Max]] and Nicky, Pikachu cautions Absol with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. The two Pokémon reach a standoff... but just moments later, a flood of water erupts from the rocks behind them! Max, Nicky, Pikachu, and Absol are swept away by the flood, and the former three are caught on a branch over the side of the cliff. Nicky loses his grip and begins to fall, but Absol leaps to save him -- convincing all present that Absol is a kind-hearted Pokémon. Team Rocket also observes these events from afar. | ||
Just as the gang realizes that Absol isn't causing the disasters, the branch holding Max and Pikachu breaks. Ash calls out {{AP|Swellow}} who saves Max, but Pikachu is rescued by a mysterious {{p|Heracross}} -- a Heracross which turns out to belong to Nicky's older brother, Gordon. Gordon explains that he's been tracking groups of Absol in other mountains to better understand them after saving the life of the wild Absol in his village's mountain. Gordon also explains that from his research, Absol only approach human settlements with good reason, that they don't actually cause disasters but often take the blame, and don't attack unless provoked. After some thinking, {{an|Brock}} realizes that the water pressure in the mountain's spring is building -- and Absol has been trying to warn everyone that the village will soon be flooded (the increased water flow destroyed the bridges). No sooner has Brock made this realization than a geyser of water erupts out of the side of the mountain -- threatening to destroy Gordon's village. Absol tries to knock over a giant boulder to block the water's path, and everyone present calls out their Pokémon to help, but the boulder doesn't budge. Absol moves into point blank range with its {{m|Hyper Beam}} and successfully diverts the boulder and the water flow, soaking Team Rocket in the process and washing away their ridiculous disguises. Absol, however, knocks Team Rocket away with {{m|Razor Wind}} before they can even make an attempt to capture Pikachu. As the episode ends, the villagers are left with the realization that Absol has the power to predict disasters -- not to cause them -- and that Absol is in fact a good Pokémon. | Just as the gang realizes that Absol isn't causing the disasters, the branch holding Max and Pikachu breaks.
