Following the completion of the Pokemon League, Ash is back home in Pallet Town. Professor Oak and Delia throw him a party which of course Team Rocket crashes, but Ash is able to send them off with the help of Charizard, who proceeds to wreck the party. Later that day Professor Oak asks Ash to run a errand for him. He wants Ash to go to the Orange Islands and pick up the GS Ball from Professor Ivy. He agrees and leaves soon after. Along the way they become trapped ina forest where the same flock of Spearow from the beginning of Ash's journey is still causing trouble, along with their newly evolved Fearow leader. Now they must figure out a way to get out of the forest before the Spearow manage to get to them.

Ash and friends stop at a convenience store for some supplies for their journey to Valencia Island, and outside Ash participates in a contest and ends up winning blimp tickets to the island! What they don't know though, is that it was a setup by Team Rocket. However, before Team Rocket can plan anything, they lose control of the blimp, and Ash, Misty, and Brock also lose Togepi. Now everyone is in an all out race to find Togepi, dodge the ghost of the blimp, and catch Pikachu before the blimp crash lands.

Walking along the beaches of Valencia Island, Ash and friends are searching for Professor Ivy, who luckily ends up appearing on her own. After finding out why they are there, she takes them to the lab where she shows them the GS Ball and explains why it is so mysterious. Ash then calls Professor Oak about it and Oak is excited to look at it, and then he and Ivy get into a discussion about their various works. Following that, Brock helps clean their living quarters and even makes dinner. That night a little scare happens when Professor Ivy jumps into a cloud of Vileplume's Stun Spore to save a Raticate, and she is taken to the Pokemon Center.After spending the night on the island and seeing how Ivy ans her assistants live and work, Brock decide to make a bold decision as Ash and Misty are ready to leave.

After picking up the "GS Ball" from Professor Ivy, Brock decided to stay on the island so Ash and Misty head back home by blimp. Unfortunately, our duo gets double-crossed by Team Rocket once again, and then Jigglypuff puts the whole crew to sleep. The blimp crashes on sunny Tangelo Island. Ash and Misty then wonder along the beach and find some kids picking on a beached baby Lapras. They chase them away and get a hold of Nurse Joy to come save it.

As they go to investigate; Pikachu stops, turns around, and attacks Ash. Togepi jumps out of Misty's arms. Then a group of Magnemite surround Ash, shocking him. To create a distraction, an Electrode rolls by and explodes in front of Ash. When the smoke clears Pikachu and Togepi are gone. They find out from Officer Jenny that the same thing has happened to many others. They believe it is some sort of psychic Pokemon behind all of this, because Jenny's Gastly is not effected. Meanwhile, Jessie and James are on the island and Meowth suddenly leaves them. They follow him to the source of all this, it is the work of Butch and Cassidy. Butch and Cassidy get rid of them, and Officer Jenny find them. Team Rocket reluctantly agree to help Officer Jenny and Ash to stop Butch and Cassidy.
