At the Gym, Morty has his Gengar demonstrate {{m|Confuse Ray}} to a group of young {{pkmn|Trainer}}s as an example of how to fight without using brute force. Ash and {{ashfr}} interrupt the lecture to challenge the Gym. Morty suggests that his students be allowed to watch and Ash agrees.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} floats over Ecruteak City in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|hot air balloon]]. [[James]] is pleased that he still has his [[Dowsing Machine|Treasure Detector]] with him and smiles as it continues blinking away. [[Jessie]] groans that the device only finds junk and James attempts to prove her wrong by displaying his prized collection of bottle caps, although he declines to explain what makes them so valuable. At that moment, the treasure detector appears to be picking up something as they fly over the Burned Tower, so they descend in the hopes of uncovering real treasures. They land and James follows the treasure detector directly to the [[Ecruteak Gym]] where Ash is about to have his Gym match against Morty.
Meanwhile, {{TRT}} floats over Ecruteak City in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|hot air balloon]]. [[James]] is pleased that he still has his [[Dowsing Machine|Itemfinder]] with him and smiles as it continues blinking away. [[Jessie]] groans that the device only finds junk and James attempts to prove her wrong by displaying his prized collection of bottle caps, although he declines to explain what makes them so valuable. At that moment, the Itemfinder appears to be picking up something as they fly over the Burned Tower, so they descend in the hopes of uncovering real treasures. They land and James follows the Itemfinder directly to the [[Ecruteak Gym]] where Ash is about to have his Gym match against Morty.


The [[Battle judge]] explains the rules of the match before the battle begins. Morty starts things off with his {{TP|Morty|Gastly}} and Ash calls out his {{AP|Noctowl}}. Ash has Noctowl begin with {{m|Hypnosis}}. Gastly dodges, disappearing in the process. Ash has Noctowl use {{m|Foresight}}, and it soon finds Gastly. Noctowl then attempts to {{m|Tackle}} Gastly, but Gastly easily dodges the attack again and again. After failing to Tackle Gastly, Noctowl tries to use {{m|Hypnosis}}; however, Morty orders Gastly to close its eyes to avoid being hypnotized and to use a {{m|Lick}} attack, which whips Noctowl out of the air. Ash returns Noctowl to its {{i|Poké Ball}}. {{an|Brock}} points out that this is a good strategy since Noctowl's Foresight will keep Gastly from disappearing, and Ash can use Noctowl again later on if he needs to.

With Foresight keeping Gastly in view, Ash chooses {{AP|Pikachu}} to replace Noctowl. Pikachu begins by using {{m|Quick Attack}}, which knocks Gastly backwards. Gastly lies on the ground for a moment before recovering itself. Pikachu then uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Gastly dodges and counters with {{m|Night Shade}}. Ash rushes to Pikachu’s side, but his friend is declared knocked out and unable to battle any further. After thanking Pikachu for his hard work, Ash chooses {{AP|Cyndaquil}} as his next choice.

Morty finally sends out Gengar. Noctowl uses Confusion while Gengar tries a {{m|Shadow Ball}}; the Confusion attack hits the Shadow Ball, making it explode, showering everyone with dark energy. Gengar disappears and begins attack Noctowl with Night Shade. While Noctowl manages to evade the attacks, its attempts to use Foresight fail. {{an|Misty}} is surprised that Gengar can attack while it is invisible and Brock says that Noctowl won't win without using Foresight. Ash thinks for a moment and then tells Noctowl to send Confusion through the building. This reveals Gengar and Noctowl is able to use Foresight on it. Gengar attempts to use Shadow Ball again, but Noctowl stops it with a Tackle attack. After hitting the ceiling and falling to the floor, Gengar is now unable to battle, giving Ash the victory. Before the group heads out, Morty admits that Ash may actually have seen {{an|Ho-Oh}}, then hands over the {{Badge|Fog}}.

As the battle waged on, James's treasure detector led him and his teammates to wander into a store room. As they were about to pilfer it of its rare treasures, including ancient swords and valuable vases, a group of Gastly transported them into an illusion – an endless chase for a banquet table of food. Team Rocket finally flees from the haunted building, complaining of how nightmarish the day has been.
