The episode opens not with Ash and {{ashfr}} but with [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, for another installation of the trials and tribulations of {{TRT}}. Team Rocket report in to {{an|Giovanni}}. Though they don't have anything new to report, Giovanni becomes very angry with them because the secret base they were working on was destroyed in ''[[AG071|A Six Pack Attack!]]''. He says that they're failing their mission in the [[Hoenn|Hoenn Region]], which he has been funding, and if they don't improve, he'll send in [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] to finish the job instead. | The episode opens not with Ash and {{ashfr}} but with [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, for another installation of the trials and tribulations of {{TRT}}.

Meanwhile, continuing the trek to [[Fortree City]], Ash and the gang come across a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Spoink}}, a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon. Most Spoink use the Pearls on their heads to channel their formidable psychic powers, but this Spoink is upset after losing its Pearl. Being the good Samaritans that they are, the group decides to help the distressed Spoink locate its lost pearl. Though they look hard for it, the Spoink tries to put any round objects it sees on its head, (including an {{p|Igglybuff}}, a {{p|Voltorb}}, and an {{p|Electrode}}). When the Pearl is found, however, Team Rocket, working with renewed vigor after Giovanni threatened to replace them, attack the group. Though they use a traditional pitfall trap, they introduce themselves as the "new Team Rocket" and say that they're going for a fresh start—however, they end up blasting off as usual. This time, though, Meowth manages to grab the Spoink's pearl which blasts off with them. Ash and the gang soon notice the absence of the pearl and chase after Team Rocket. | ||

After blasting off, Team Rocket comes across a fair, and Ash and company chase Team Rocket onto the fairgrounds, where they initially lose sight of each other. Spoink tries a few more round objects, like a juggler's balls and a fortune teller's crystal ball. Team Rocket, meanwhile is approached by the same [[Magikarp salesman]] who has made James' life a misery in the past and offers to trade Feebas for the Pearl. Though James is wary of the known swindler, the Magikarp salesman reveals that {{p|Feebas}} evolves into {{p|Milotic}}, the most beautiful of all Pokémon, [[Jessie]] becomes dazzled by the possibilities. [[James]] and {{MTR}} are still reluctant and question the salesman on the source of his information, which he says he got from {{an|Professor Oak}} (the information on Feebas' evolution is accurate). He also regales them with a tale of his family life (he has many children to support, etc.) and that he has given up a life of crime. This story finally convinces Team Rocket to make the trade. | After blasting off, Team Rocket comes across a fair, and Ash and company chase Team Rocket onto the fairgrounds, where they initially lose sight of each other.
