''Ash has left all of his Pokémon behind in Pallet Town—except Pikachu—and boarded a ship bound for Littleroot Town in Hoenn. Unfortunately, Team Rocket is on board as well, and they're cooking up a scheme to catch Pikachu once and for all. They nab Pikachu and hop off the boat just as it pulls into a port. Their plan quickly goes awry, and Meowth and Pikachu end up in a bad neighborhood. While Meowth and Pikachu team up to chase off a gang of territorial Haunter, Ash teams up with Officer Jenny to rescue Pikachu before the boat leaves.'' | |||

Team Rocket is in their balloon, and while James is searching for Meowth, Jessie is more interested in finding Pikachu. Back with Ash, Officer Jenny asks Ash about his Pikachu, and he explains to her why they are so close and why Pikachu is the only Pokémon he has on him. Pidgeot spots something and speeds up, and Officer Jenny follows. | Team Rocket is in their balloon, and while James is searching for Meowth, Jessie is more interested in finding Pikachu.

Meanwhile the Haunter have shown up and tell the others to get out of their turf. Meowth tries to back away from them and talk his way out of it, but Pikachu says that the area is for all the Pokémon, not just the Haunter. Meowth queries what he is doing, but Pikachu says that that is what Ash would have done, and that it is the right thing to do. Haunter then launches a {{m|Shadow Ball}} at them, which they both dodge. Pikachu launches a Thunderbolt, but the Haunter dodge it and surround them. They all use Night Shade, but Pikachu jumps onto Meowth and then jumps out of the way, pushing Meowth down under the attack, and making the Haunter hit each other. Pikachu then fries them all with Thunderbolt, and they flee. | Meanwhile, the Haunter have shown up and tell the others to get out of their turf.

The Pokémon then ask Pikachu and Meowth to stay and protect them, but then Team Rocket shows up and traps Pikachu in a metal sleeve. They retrieve Meowth with their grabber, before using an electromagnet to stick Pikachu to their balloon. Just as they do, Pidgeot shows up and pierces their balloon, causing it to crash to the ground. Ash and Pikachu are reunited, but then Team Rocket re-activates their electromagnet. Ash refuses to let go, and gets slowly dragged along towards it, but then James ups the power, pulling some nearby metal drums towards it, exposing the Haunter and smashing into Ash. He is knocked over, and Pikachu gets stuck to the magnet which starts to suck all of the electricity out of him causing Pikachu a lot of pain. Ash and Jenny can't do anything, but then one of the Rattata uses {{m|Hyper Fang}} to break the metal sleeve, freeing Pikachu. Team Rocket then runs towards him, but the Haunter use Night Shade on the electromagnet, sending them blasting off. | The Pokémon then ask Pikachu and Meowth to stay and protect them, but then Team Rocket shows up and traps Pikachu in a metal sleeve.

The scene changes, with the captain regretfully looking over the port as the ship starts to sail off into the sunset. Pidgeot then flies up above them with Ash and Pikachu on its back. That night, Pikachu is sleeping on Ash's bed while he is looking at him. he then tucks him in, saying that he deserves a good rest. On the outside of the ship, Team Rocket is stuck to the electromagnet, which has attached to the hull of the ship, by a couple of metal poles from their balloon. | The scene changes, with the captain regretfully looking over the port as the ship starts to sail off into the sunset.
