Back home at [[Pallet Town]], [[Mimey]] tickles both {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} with its broom, prompting Pikachu to electrocute Ash, which wakes him up. This also awakens Misty, who was sleeping in Ash's bunk. Later, during breakfast, {{Delia}} asks her son to help out with her garden, as he does not appear to be training for the [[Pokémon League]]. Not wanting to help out out of concern that he would be left too exhausted to train afterwards, Ash leaves with Misty and {{an|Brock}}, claiming he had to train in the mountains. As they leave, Delia tells them to get three-to-four hundred pounds of fertilizer from the [[Xanadu Nursery]].

The group encounters a greenhouse, which Ash tells Misty and Brock is the Xanadu Nursery, his old childhood stomping ground. He recalls that the owner had moved away when he was a child and he does not know the new owner. Brock peers inside and finds an attractive woman, but Ash only sees a {{p|Gloom}}. Misty tells Ash to turn around, though he replies that only one of the group will hallucinate at a time. They are interrupted by a gardener named [[Potter]], who describes the Xanadu Nursery as a place that attracts {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Upon hearing this, Ash sends {{AP|Bulbasaur}} out to enjoy the place, while he and Misty explore. Brock then learns that the girl he saw was [[Florinda Showers|Florinda]], the new owner of the Xanadu Nursery. Just then, Bulbasaur sniffs a bunch of Stun Stem, a plant that produces pollen that can paralyze, much like {{m|Stun Spore}}; this knocks it out cold. Florinda and Gloom appear, and Florinda advises Ash to take Bulbasaur with her to the house for treatment. Gloom, who has developed an immunity to Stun Stem by being exposed to it for so long, drips a milky white substance into Bulbasaur's mouth and it quickly recovers. As the two Grass Pokémon play, Brock and Florinda talk privately.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket themselves are at the nursery, looking for Pokémon to steal. After encountering the Stun Stem, they decide to harvest it instead, as it could help them. However, their thievery triggers alarms, and they are confronted by Ash, his friends, Florida, and Potter. Though Bulbasaur manages to tie them up, {{MTR}} unleashes a bomb made of the stolen Stun Stem to incapacitate nearly everyone. With Florinda and Gloom the only ones left, Brock urges Florinda to attack, just as Team Rocket steals the paralyzed Pikachu. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] send {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} out to deal with Gloom, and they unleash a black cloud with their {{m|Toxic}} and {{m|Smog}} attacks. Florinda is surprised at Gloom's battling ability when it uses {{m|Double Team}} to get Arbok and Weezing to hit each other. Meanwhile, Pikachu bites Jessie's arm and frees itself, landing behind Bulbasaur. Meanwhile, Brock continues to coach Florinda, telling her that Team Rocket is now open to a more powerful attack. Though Florinda is not confident that {{m|Solar Beam}} will do the trick, Gloom sends Team Rocket flying with it.

Later, after everyone has been treated, Florinda thanks Brock, noting that Gloom is a strong Pokémon, and that it does not need to evolve. Florinda states that now she has the confidence to run the nursery with a special someone, which causes Brock to fall over. Unfortunately, when he recovers from fantasizing, he finds that Florinda has already proposed to Potter, and that they plan to run the nursery together. Brock is left feeling rejected, and Ash tries to console him, telling him that he will meet more women who will reject him. As Ash heads back to town with his friends, he is reminded that he has spent a day not training for the Pokémon League. However, he replies that there is always tomorrow.
