Meanwhile on the island, a local boy, [[Oliver]] plays with his {{p|Lanturn}} and good friend {{jo|Silver}}, who remains only a shadow silhouette underwater. He soon spots the group’s rowboat and calls for Silver to hide in the meantime. Ritchie and the others make land and introduce themselves to Oliver. Ash declares that they are looking for a mysterious Pokémon. Oliver seems nervous, almost as if he was faking his uncertainty before swimming off to avoid more questions. Ritchie is suspicious, but with no answer, the gang goes off to comb the island. When the coast is clear, something pulls Oliver under the water, his friend Silver, a young {{p|Lugia}}. | Meanwhile on the island, a local boy, [[Oliver]] plays with his {{p|Lanturn}} and good friend {{jo|Silver}}, who remains only a shadow silhouette underwater.

Oliver thinks the coast is clear, but two {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s stream the footage of Silver back to [[Dr. Namba]], who is watching his operation closely from his underwater lab facility. Inside the base, Dr. Namba orders his agents to move forward and retrieve "mysterious Pokémon X", the code name for Silver. A submarine soon jets off from the base to complete the task. The two Rocket agents quickly net Silver. Oliver orders Lanturn to attack them, while he and Silver dive underwater to escape. As the three swim away, they are forced to change course when the Rocket submarine surfaces. The pursuit continues, and Oliver swims passed Ash and the others, with Silver instantly catching their attention. The [[Team Rocket trio]] also watch the scene unfold from their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp submarine]]'s periscope.

Oliver swims towards the shore and Ash's group. Suddenly Team Rocket duo, [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] emerge from their submarine. As Cassidy casts a net out to catch Silver, Ash calls out {{AP|Bayleef}}, and she slashes the net with a {{m|Razor Leaf}} attack. Cassidy and Butch call out their {{p|Houndour}} and {{p|Hitmontop}} respectively. Bayleef is struck down by Houndour's {{m|Flamethrower}} and Hitmontop's {{m|Rolling Kick}}. Ritchie's {{p|Pupitar}}, [[nickname]]d Cruise, uses {{m|Take Down}} on Hitmontop. Houndour breathes a Flamethrower, but it proves useless against Cruises's hard shell. Hitmontop approaches with a {{m|Triple Kick}}, but Bayleef tangles it in her {{m|Vine Whip}}. Bayleef sends Hitmontop spinning back at Houndour, so Cassidy and Butch quickly recall their Pokémon. Cassidy calls for a full steam ahead approach, but [[Luka]] arrives on the scene and crashes her vessel into the sub. Cruise whips up a {{m|Sandstorm}}, forcing Team Rocket to retreat. As the sub drives, the Team Rocket trio follow in their own submarine. | Oliver swims towards the shore and Ash's group.

Ash pats Silver and tells Ritchie that [[M02|he has seen a Lugia before]] in the Orange Islands. Oliver admits that Silver cannot fly yet, making it vulnerable to being stolen and apologizes for lying earlier. With the child Lugia no longer a secret, they ask Oliver about it. Oliver explains that a week ago, he and Lanturn were caught in a storm while swimming. The waves were too rough and sent him under the water. Later, he found himself back on land with Silver by his side. Suddenly, the {{an|Lugia|parent Lugia}} soon shows up in a rage. Luka notices a red light coming from her locket, and inside her [[Silver Wing]] is beaming. Oliver and the other plead their cases, and Lugia settles down. Luka watches as her Silver Wing also settles and considers if it has some connection to Lugia. The parent nudges its child affectionately, and soon the pair dive into the water. Ash is keen to watch the Lugia swim, so Luka provides everyone with the dive gear to do so. Underwater, the parent Lugia is feeding the child, who then goes towards Ash and gives him a playful headbutt. Above the water, Luka catches the parent jumping above the surface along with the child. | ||
Back at Team Rocket's lab, [[Jessie]] and | Back at Team Rocket's lab, [[Jessie]] and James look around a bit in their [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|new black Team Rocket uniforms]]. James isn’t too thrilled about the "uncool" uniforms, but Jessie is rather blunt and declares they must finally make this plan succeed. The trio enter the room as Dr. Namba orders Butch and Cassidy to catch Lugia. He reveals that {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Feraligatr}} have failed in his experiments to develop a Pokémon power magnifying project. Dr. Namba is feeling incredibly hungry so Cassidy orders Jessie to go fetch some food from the galley. James takes Jessie aside, and outside of the room Jessie vents her anger at being ordered around by her nemesis, Cassidy. | ||
Luka leaves everyone for the time being while she sails to Ogi Isle to restock her supplies. As everyone rests an odd Lugia appears in the distance and calls Silver over. Ritchie is quick to spot rivets on the Lugia's body and realizes everything is a ploy. Though it't too late as the Lugia robot cages Silver in time for Butch and Cassidy to collect their catch. The Rocket trio surface in their Magikarp submarine, and soon the two Rocket gangs argument boils over into a battle. Cassidy orders out her Houndour and Jessie calls on her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}. Houndour blazes through Arbok’s {{m|Poison Sting}} attack and singes the Rocket trio. As Oliver swims closer on his Lanturn, and Ash's friends aboard a rowboat behind him, Butch sends out a mechanical arm to collect Silver's cage. Ash sends out Bayleef and she slices the claw with her Razor Leaf attack. Butch sends out Hitmontop, but Bayleef uses a Vine Whip to make quick work of it. Cassidy orders her Houndour to use {{m|Smog}} to create a cover. Cassidy and Butch grab Silver in its cage and begin their escape. Their large submarine sinks Team Rocket's own sub, and the large wake knocks Oliver and the others into the ocean. Ash and his friends resurface as the Smog clears. They stare hopelessly at the open waters as both Team Rocket and Silver are out of sight. | Luka leaves everyone for the time being while she sails to Ogi Isle to restock her supplies.
