{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} decide to stop and eat, with {{an|Brock}} making his famous [[rice ball]]s. However, Ash notices what he thinks is a gun pointing at {{AP|Pikachu}} and knocks his friends out of the way. Ash then sends out {{AP|Squirtle}} and commands it to use {{m|Water Gun}} at the bushes where he saw the gun. Just then, {{Todd}} stands up, holding nothing but a camera, and tells him to stop, afraid that his camera will be ruined. Ash, infuriated at Todd, asks why he was spying on them. Todd explains that he is a world-famous Pokémon photographer and didn't want his picture of Pikachu to look fake.

Todd explains that he is a world-famous {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} photographer and didn't want his picture of Pikachu to look fake.


The group goes back to Todd's house to talk, and he shows them a magazine with his picture of the same {{p|Aerodactyl}} [[EP046|that took Ash]]. Todd subtly tries to get a picture of Pikachu, but it accidentally {{m|Thunder Shock|zaps}} him in the process. He tries again but gives up and reiterates that Pokémon should be photographed naturally, not posing, showing them pictures he took of various Pokémon to prove his point. Pikachu doesn't like to be photographed, so Ash, Misty, and Brock send out their Pokémon for Todd to photograph. However, Todd says that he only wants to take pictures of Pikachu. They ask him why, but he says that he cannot tell them.

Ash and his friends leave, and as they are walking down a path, Todd is shown hidden in the grass, trying to get another shot. It is revealed that {{TRT}}, disguised as seniors, assigned Todd to capture Pikachu, unaware that he was just a photographer.

Misty and Brock rest under a tree as Ash and Pikachu wash their faces in a pond. Twice, Todd tries to take Pikachu's picture, but he hides behind Ash before the photo is taken, much to his frustration. Meanwhile, as Team Rocket is digging a pitfall trap, {{MTR}} yells that Todd is coming, and Jessie and James quickly put their disguises back on. Todd tells them that he hasn't taken Pikachu yet, and James almost tells him about the pitfall, but Jessie and Meowth stop him and drag him away.

Todd sets up his camera on a tripod and waits for Ash and the group to walk by. Pikachu hides in Ash's bag and Brock suggests he must dislike photography. Todd overhears Ash criticizing him by pointing out that Todd shows no regard for his photographed Pokémon and their feelings. As they walk, however, they fall into Team Rocket's pitfall trap. Todd comes up and tries to rescue them when he sees Pikachu peeking out of Ash's [[bag|backpack]] and decides to take his picture. Team Rocket sees this and realizes that he is actually a photographer. Just then, the ground below Ash starts to crack, and Ash and Pikachu fall into an underground cavern. Todd jumps down after them and runs along the water's edge. Realizing they will fall over the waterfall, Todd holds out his camera on the tripod for them to grab onto. Ash grabs onto the strap and realizes that Todd sacrificed his camera to save them. As Ash starts to pull himself up, Todd reassures him that the loss of the camera is not an issue.
