Cilan prepares lunch for the gang until Iris and Ash accidentally ruin his cooking by getting a leaf inside. He knocks over the pot in his anger, and regrets it instantly. Furiously, he tells Ash and Iris that they will have no lunch, but Iris gives them all apples. Cilan sighs and says it can't be helped, and tells them to go play somewhere else while he cooks them a new meal. While they wait, Iris and Ash explore the surrounding forest where they accidentally come across Trip who is using his new Vanilite on a wild Palpitoad. Ash gets in the way of the Poké Ball, allowing Palpitoad to escape. When Iris arrives, Trip is fascinated by her, saying that he's always wanted to meet someone from the Dragon Village, and snaps a few photos with his trademark camera. When Iris sees the Vanilite, she acts very scared of its presence, knowing how Ice-type Pokémon are strong against Dragon-types. Trip tells her this logic does not make sense, because in her logic, she should be afraid of dragon types, too, as dragon types are weak against other dragon types, and yet, she keeps Axew so close to her. Trip challenges her to a battle , but Iris, remembering how her Excadrill refuses to battle and Emolga refuses to listen to her, awkwardly refuses. Trip says to her that she'll never be a Dragon Master at this rate and starts to leave. Before Trip leaves, Ash challenges him to a battle once more. Initially, Trip refuses, taunting Ash by saying that his Pokémon will level down if he battles Ash. Iris taunts him back, and calls him a little kid. Trip accepts the battle request from Ash. Trip sends out his Servine while Ash sends out Snivy. Snivy is defeated quickly, and then Trip recalls how a meeting with Alder when he was younger inspired him to become a strong Pokémon trainer. The next match is Timburr against Oshawott. During the fight, Trip takes a photo of Oshawott in an Aqua Jet, revealing that Oshawott does not look where it is going during the move as he does not open his eyes underwater, while Timburr looks on Oshawott's failed Aqua Jet with pity. In the end, Oshawott defeats Timburr with a Razor Shell. The next match is between Vanilite and Tepig. Vanilite is eventually beat, but Tepig is also knocked out, resulting in a tie. As Ash and Iris say goodbye to Trip, they suddenly remember that Cilan is waiting for them at the campsite for lunch where he, his Pansage, and his Dwebble, are waiting impatiently for Ash and Iris's return.

Barry and his Heracross went off on their own investigation, and spotted a strange machine. Barry ran into Team Rocket and blamed them for everything, but Team Rocket denied that the machine is theirs. Barry and Team Rocket took a closer look and discovered that the machine is Team Galactic's, and headed by Commander Mars. When Team Galactic spotted them, Team Rocket started up a fight which caused themselves to fall with Barry into an underground ruin. Up on the surface, Riley, Ash, Dawn and Brock tracked Team Galactic, and found that the ruins were made of metal. Together with Team Galactic's Spear Key, this caused the low-frequency wave. Commander Mars released the Spear Key and the key melded with the ruins, which released a huge bolt of energy. The waves knocked Lucario backwards and it was overcome by a strange power. It lost control and prepared to attack Ash and friends!

It is finally Ash's turn for a Gym Battle. As Cilan and Iris try to get him, he has locked himself up in his room trying to think of a strategy to overcome Elesa's Pokémon.

They arrive at the Gym and Ash hands Pikachu over to Cilan before he begins his match against Elesa calls out Zebstrika while Ash calls out Palpitoad. Palpitoad uses Mud Shot while Zebstrika uses Flame Charge. It uses Flame Charge once again to increase its speed. Palpitoad uses Hydro Pump but it misses. Zebstrika uses Double Kick and lands a direct hit, before using a Quick Attack. Palpitoad uses Supersonic followed by Mud Shot and then by Hydro Pump, taking out Zebstrika. Palpitoad is clearly worn out when Elesa sends out her Emolga. Palpitoad uses Supersonic, but it misses due to Emolga's Acrobatics. Emolga uses Attract on Palpitoad, making him fall in love with her. Emolga finishes the match with Aerial Ace. Ash, however, has forgotten to take all of his Pokémon with him, so he runs off the field to go get Snivy. Snivy and Emolga both use Attract on each other, but it does not work as they are both female, a fact Ash has forgotten about his own Snivy. He reveals to be further off his game when he forgets Emolga is also a Flying-Type Pokémon, which is strong against Grass-Types. After a long fight, Emolga knocks out Snivy, all the while Pikachu has been getting angry over being left out. Ash does not know how to proceed when Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on him, and yells at him. Finally, Ash realizes that he has been going at this the wrong way and realizes that the bond with his Pokémon is much more important than strategy. He chooses Pikachu for his final Pokémon, and Pikachu uses a Quick Attack to knock out Emolga. Elesa then calls out her strongest Pokémon: Tynamo. It starts off using Tackle which slams Pikachu into a wall, followed up by another Tackle that slams Pikachu into the floor, repeating its Tackle attacks against Pikachu, leading Ash to realize that Tynamo is trying to trap Pikachu in the battleground terrain. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt everywhere to destroy the field and with one an Iron Tail attack takes out Tynamo and wins the battle. Elesa awards Ash the Bolt Badge, but she tells him that because the Driftveil Drawbridge is still raised, Ash cannot move on to Driftveil City yet to challenge the Gym Leader there.

Oshawott prepares a Razor Shell attack until Blitzle does a Double Kick, knocking the Scalchop out of his hand. Oshawott runs off to try to find it, ending the battle prematurely. Ash and Pikachu catch up with Oshawott who searches in a field for the Scalchop, finding something that he believes to be his Scalchop until it shocks him, with Ash discovering that it is a Joltick. Next, Iris gives Oshawott an Iapapa Berry to stand in for the Scalchop. Pikachu uses Thundershock to test it, but Oshawott is hit by the shock. Cilan then gives Oshawott one of his serving domes, but it also does not protect Oshawott from the shock. Cilan then sends out Dwebble and has him craft a stone Scalchop for Oshawott. Even though it blocks Pikachu's Thundershock, it is much too heavy for Oshawott to carry. Ash helps Oshawott train to no luck, until later that night when Oshawott decides to train on his own with the large Scalchop, until Ash finds him and helps. When they meet Stephan again for the rematch, he has been powering up Blitzle with a bike generator.

However, training with the large shell has made Oshawott faster, and he is able to dodge Blitzle's attacks. Oshawott and Blitzle use Aqua Jet and Flame Charge against each other, with Oshawott winning the battle. After the match, Axew comes running up to the group, having found the real Scalchop.

After they cannot bear to hear anymore, Meowth drags him away and they walk to the subway tracks. Cilan, again, is losing himself with trains and begins to embarrass the gang as he explains how the trains work. Suddenly the emergency brakes kick in on the train as a ghost train passes the train they are in. Suddenly the Subway Masters, Emmet and Ingo appear on the train and get it going again. They resume the ride to Nimbasa Central. Cilan begins to get angry at the people driving the ghost train and once again, Meowth drags him away. The gang head to the Pokémon Center where Meowth, Pikachu, and Axew as well as Ash's other Pokémon go to get pampered. It occurs to Meowth that he has forgotten to do something. In a plot twist, Meowth is revealed to have been working with Team Rocket the entire time; he enters a phone booth to call Team Rocket to give them the go ahead. Meowth returns and they go to the treatment spas. Ash decides to call Professor Oak's. Suddenly the communication lines are cut by Team Rocket's Dr. Zager. Meowth begins operations in stealing the Pokémon from the Pokémon Center. Meanwhile, the drawbridge to Driftveil City is raised and the shorted out. Meowth begins to dump the Poké Balls down the air shaft, connected to Team Rocket's train, and begins loading them on. Suddenly, everyone in Nimbasa City is confused and Cilan suggests that someone is trying to steal the Pokémon. Nurse Joy, Cilan, Iris, and Ash head to the security vault to find that all the Poké Balls are missing, including Pikachu and Axew, as well as Meowth. Meantime, Meowth regroups with Team Rocket and Dr. Zager who has begun hacking the train system, causing all the subway trains to freeze in place and stop responding. When Cilan, Iris, and Ash find Meowth, they realize that Meowth has betrayed them and was never fired from Team Rocket in the first place. Team Rocket forces them out of the way and drive away with the train loaded with the Pokémon. Ash and his friends regroup with the Subway Masters and they head to the mail carriage train. They drive to the point where Team Rocket has to pass through and catch up with their train. When they close in on it, Ash jumps on it and it begins to deflate and explode, derailing the carriage train. They realize that it was a fake train meant to distract them. When the Subway Masters regain control of the sensors, they notice a train heading for the junction and realize it is Team Rocket as they drive right past them. They claim they can track their location at all times, but as soon as Team Rocket passes the point, the trains showing up in the system begin to multiply.

Rune Jimu! Mizu no Ātisuto, Adan!

While Ash, Iris, Cilan, Pikachu, and Axew are asleep, they are suddenly woken up by a bright light. Ash and Iris believe it is a UFO, while Cilan insists there must be a scientific explanation. He claims to be a Science Connoisseur. When they reach town the next day, Cilan asks if there are any rumors of UFO sightings in the area, and someone overhearing the conversation directs them to Professor Ikarus. As they cross a rope bridge to his lab, they all receive a strange vision of Ash falling through one of the planks. When they test the plank before stepping on it, they watch it break. As they reach the professor's lab, Cilan knocks on the door and asks him if the UFO rumors are true. As professor Ikarus tries to get them to leave, Cilan convinces him to let them stay after praising his work. As Ikarus tries to explain what he is doing, they get a vision of something exploding. He rushes off to check on his experiment as Cilan and the others follow to see the professor's flying saucer. He tells them to remove its energy source, and they do so, with the help of professor Ikarus' Elgyem which is revealed to have psychic powers. The professor tells them of how he always wanted to travel to outer space and spent most of his life developing a flying saucer spacecraft. He explained that when he tested one of his mini prototypes, it accidentally hit Elgyem, and he brought it back to his lab to help it heal, beginning their friendship. When Elgyem began showing interest in his research, Ikarus began having Elgyem test its powers, but it began to scare off the other townsfolk from his property to seclude them, which began the UFO rumors. Soon, two people approach the lab and state that they want to have Professor Ikarus be the first to see the successful manipulation of Dark Matter. However, a device they have soon traps Ash and the other and captures Elgyem, before the two people reveal themselves to be Team Rocket who escape with Elgyem. Cilan manages to send out Dwebble to free them from the device. Ikarus tells everyone to get onto his flying saucer and they chase Team Rocket in their hovercraft. As Ash's Tranquil fights Jessie's Woobat, Elgyem is freed by the efforts of Axew and Pansage, before Pikachu's Electro Ball destroys Team Rocket's hovercraft. However, the fight has damaged the professor's flying saucer. With only one engine working, the flying saucer falls into a gorge. Elgyem using Telekinesis manages to lift and land the saucer safely back at the lab. Ikarus then tells them that he plans to repair the flying saucer, and send Elgyem back into space. As Ash and the others say their goodbyes to the professor, Elgyem's psychic powers show the group various visions, which Cilan realizes must explain the vision earlier. He also says these visions are telling Professor Ikarus that Elgyem wants to stay with him. After they leave, the gang sees a UFO zigzagging through the sky which cannot be explained.

Cilan realizes that it is the time of year that Cottonee pair up and that this male Cottonee must be looking for a mate. While they watch it find a female Cottonee that he has fallen in love with, they watch as she attacks him because he is too weak. Scraggy steps forward, wanting to help Cottonee to become stronger and braver, but Scraggy's Scary Face sends it cowering behind a tree stump. Ash then steps in, helping train Cottonee against Scraggy, as Team Rocket watches the Cottonee swarm from afar. Axew and Cottonee train next, with Axew teaching Cottonee accuracy for its Energy Ball, and then Dwebble goes up against Cottonee to test its Razor Leaf and Solar Beam. Ash then sends out Tranquill to search for the other Cottonee so Cottonee can get a mate as Team Rocket calls in for new supplies. As soon as Ash and the others reach the Cottonee swarm, a gust of wind blows up from Team Rocket's large fan, catching all the Cottonee in a bag. Ash sends out Tranquill to slice open the bag with Air Cutter, freeing the Cottonee and dispatching Team Rocket. Later, the Cottonee they have been training with finally defeats several other male Cottonee, impressing the same female Cottonee from before and getting a mate. The next day, as the perfect weather conditions are finally met, Ash, Iris, Cilan, Pikachu, Axew, and Scraggy watch all the paired Cottonee drift away on the wind to a new life together.

She tells Ash and Cilan how she captured Excadrill when she first found him as a Drilbur bothering other Pokémon in the forest around her home town many years ago. After she saved him after he nearly fell off a cliff, Drilbur became Iris's partner and trained under her, eventually evolving into an Excadrill and winning a tournament in her home. Drayden, a Dragon Master, tells Iris that he is impressed. She challenges him to a battle, and says it will be their 100th victory, and she wants it to be against a Dragon Master. He accepts her challenge, but when Excadrill fights Shaga's Haxorus, none of its moves appear effective, and he loses the match. Upset, Excadrill shut itself off from Iris and has not listened to her. Cilan says that it is not disappointment that is causing Excadrill's behavior but anger at Iris for forcing it to fight a match that he knew that he would lose. That night, Iris apologizes to Excadrill, saying that she did not try to understand his feelings. Excadrill listens in surprise, remembering how Iris never gave up trying to beat him, and her words of encouragement. He moves out of its inactive mode, but Iris is already asleep.

Mr. Garrason says he will go to the caves to look, and Ash and his friends volunteer to follow. Elsewhere, the same Roggenrola warns several wild Pokémon about something, and inside a cave, a strange device driven by Team Rocket chases after several Roggenrola.

As Team Rocket exits the cave, they fire an energy blast from the Roggenrola Cannon to cause a cave in at the entrance. Pansage and Excadrill use Dig to get the gang outside, where they chase down Team Rocket who try to use the Roggenrola Cannon to escape once more. They fire the cannon and Roggenrola intercepts the blast with Flash Cannon. Team Rocket fires a second time, however, the device backfires, due to the Roggenrola forcing the energy into reverse causing the machine to break down. The Roggenrola are freed, and with combined attacks from all the Roggenrola, Pikachu, and Tepig, they defeat Team Rocket's Pokémon, and destroy the machine, forcing Team Rocket to flee on jetpacks. At the Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy checks on all of the Roggenrola and Tepig, revealing that they are healthy, and the one Roggenrola that Ash first saved reveals it wanted to travel with Ash from the moment they met. This time, Tepig manages to defeat Roggenrola, allowing Ash to capture his eighth Pokémon in the Unova Region.
