With the St. Anne deep underwater, the group recovers and discover their predicament. Jessie and James wake up as well. When they meet up they initially start a battle, but the weight of their Pokémon rocks the boat. They agree to work together to get out. They find their way to a weak point in the boat where Charmander welds through it. Water gushes in and the three escape on water Pokémon. Team Rocket try to escape, but their Magikarp is too weak. They eventually float to the surface and are discovered by Pidgeotto who was searching for dry land. Just when the group are about to push overboard the apparently dead Team Rocket, they wake up. After sitting around starved for days with no land in sight, they start to consider eating Magikarp. They discover that Magikarp is all scale and bones. After James kicks Magikarp overboard, it evolves into Gyarados. The angry Gyarados does a dragon rage attack on them and they all spin away in a tornado created by Gyarados. |

After being blown around in the tornado created by the Gyarados, the group and Team Rocket land on a mysterious island. They are also separated from their Pokémon. Pikachu wakes up and calls all of Ash's other Pokémon out and they search for Ash. Bulbasaur thinks that they have been abandoned, but Pikachu keeps the rest from thinking that. After everyone on the island gets chased around by giant Pokémon for a while, Jessie and James come upon Pikachu. They rush out of the phone booth they were hiding in to find it is a huge Pikachu. In running they find a train car and try to escape. They break the brake when trying to stop it and they keep going. Ash and the group see this giant Pikachu just as the train car goes by under them; collapsing the ledge they stood on. They land in the train car with Team Rocket who demand Pikachu (not that big one). They are thrown into the air and crash through one of the giant Pokémon and they discover that they were mechanical. After all is through, they arrive at Porta Vista just in time for a vacation. |

Tired, the group settles down for a rest in a small vacation resort. Team Rocket is watching them inside a submarine intent on stealing Pikachu. The group are later riding a boat, and crash into Team Rocket's submarine sending them out of control until they crash into an old man's dock outside of his restaurant. He rushes out to see the damage, and is very upset. Team Rocket manages to survive too, landing back at the beach where they meet an old lady (Nastina). Ash's group start working to promote the old man's restaurant to help pay him back for the damage. The promotion doesn't work well as Team Rocket are helping Nastina with her beach house and taking all the customers. Ash uses his Pokémon to help the restaurant, and customers begin flocking to the place making it popular again. Team Rocket begin playing various tricks to sabotage their success and manage to take away the customers they had gotten. Professor Oak and Ash's mom stop in at the restaurant surprising Ash, and tell them about a swimsuit competition for girls and disguised Pokémon where they could win money to pay back the old man. Misty decides to enter the contest. For her Pokémon, Squirtle comes out disguised as a space alien and Starmie is the UFO. She is quickly greeted by competition from Jessie and James. James pretends he's a girl complete with fake body suit (not to mention fully inflatable ^_^), and the audience falls for it. They have Koffing and Ekans wrapped together not looking like anything in particular. Gary shows up to enter his numerous girlfriends in the competition. Team Rocket are angry that they've lost, so as they get their sub back, they crash the competition. A heat seeking missle is on it's way, and Ash manages to reverse it's course with a fire blast from Charmander. Team Rocket pedal away as fast as they can with the missle following close behind, they crash into the beach house and they all blast off into the sky including Nastina. In the end, Ash's mom comes out the winner and makes enough money to pay back the old man for the dock. Ash's group continue on their way. |

Stuck in Porta Vista because they missed the boat, Ash and friends sit around waiting for the next boat and witness a great explosion. They later discover that it is the Tentacool that are attacking the boats. Nastina, the cousin of the girl in the last episode, brings them in to thank them for saving the people on the boat. She then suggests to them a Tentacool extermination project. She offers a million dollars and a great dinner to them for it. Ash and Brock rush for it, but Misty pulls them away walking out angry. She doesn't want to hurt the Tentacool. Nastina offers the same thing to everyone else in town, eventually Team Rocket ends up with the job. They quickly fail as usual. In the process they greatly enlarge a Tentacruel. The enlarged Tentacruel attacks the city. Eventually with convincing from other Pokémon and Misty, the Tentacruel stops and leaves. Nastina isn't finished though, and attacks it. The Tentacruel whacks her away and she lands on her cousins half-built cottage which crumbles upon Nastina landing. The group, with a newly caught Horsea, catch the next boat and are again on their way. |

The boat that the group was on lands at a small town. This town is celebrating its Summer's End festival. Brock and James both see a girl standing by the sea and disappears. They are later warned by an old woman of a girl that will lead them to a cruel fate. An old man shows the people a painting of the maiden who Brock and James recognize as the girl they saw. They learn that she was turned to stone two thousand years ago waiting for her love to return. Brock stays out late to watch the stone that was said to be the maiden. The next morning both James and Brock are mindlessly floating around. They buy anti-ghost stickers and have Brock and James wait for the ghost. When it comes, James and Brock are almost taken again with the stickers blown away. The ghost turns out to be a Gastly impersonating the real ghost of the maiden. The sun rises and it has to leave, but promises to return next summer. Later on back at the festival, they all celebrate with the people while Jessie and James play the drums. |

As the group arrive in Celadon City, the first thing they notice is the smell. Misty enters a perfume shop and tries out some of the perfume offered. Ash tries to stop her because he feels it is a waste of money. He is thrown out of the shop and goes to the Celadon gym. He is refused there because they won't let anyone in who doesn't like perfume. Jessie and James later break in to steal Pokémon. They are chased out as well. Jessie and James offer to help Ash get in the gym if he would untie them from the tree they were hanging from and he agrees. They dress him up as a girl named Ashley who likes perfume. The disguise gets him in far enough so that when he is found out, he has already reached the gym leader. They have a match in which Ash does well until Team Rocket burst in to blow up the place. They used Ash as a distraction to get the secret perfume formula. The gym bursts into flames. Squirtle and others help put out the flame. Gloom is trapped inside the burning gym and Ash runs in through the flames to save it. When the fire is put out and everything is normal again, Ash receives the Rainbow badge for his bravery during the fire. |

Officer Jenny soon picks up sleep waves on her radio. They track the source to a huge mansion on the top of a building where inside a Hypno and a Drowzee are sitting on a table.
