A Different Kind of Misty (Japanese: プラスルとマイナン！山の灯台！！ Plusle and Minun! The Mountain Lighthouse!!) is the 38th episode of the Advanced Generation series, and the 312th episode of the Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 14, 2003 and in the United States on August 27, 2004.
Synopsis
As Ash and his friends make their way through a foggy forest path on their way to Mauville City, Brock suggests that it's too dangerous to go on, and that they should rest a while. Ash confirms this, as he soon trips over a hidden root and finds himself in a puddle of mud. During their rest, they meet up with Team Rocket, who immediately declare that they're going to capture Pikachu in order to make some sort of light stone that they stole work.
James sends out his Cacnea and begins the assault with a Pin Missile, which is easily deflected by Pikachu's sturdy Iron Tail and sent back at them. Meowth looses hold of the light stone and it falls down next to Pikachu, who climbs on top of it, preparing to use a Thunderbolt. Ash makes the call and Pikachu responds, blowing up Team Rocket's balloon and sending the three down into the water below.
As Ash picks up the light stone, a voice calls out to him, naming him to be a thief! A girl with a younger boy in tow appear, challenging them to a battle for the stolen stone. The girl calls out her Magnemite, but it is quickly taken out by Pikachu's Quick Attack. She then asks the younger boy to help, but he says that he's never battled with his Pokémon before, so instead, he'll lend his 'support.' He calls upon a Plusle and a Minun, and together they use Helping Hand, revitalizing Magnemite. The girl, whom the younger boy called by the name 'Alyssa,' then warns the group to return the light stone. Team Rocket suddenly reappears, and the young boy recognizes them as the real thieves. Wasting no time, Pikachu sends them away with a powerful Thunderbolt, and Ash returns the stone to its rightful owners.
The group heads for the lighthouse, and Alyssa explains that the light stone is the treasure of her village, and without it, she cannot operate the mountain lighthouse at all. She then shows the group how it works, using Plusle and Minun as an example; By using the power of Electric Pokémon, the stone shines brightly for all to see.
While Alyssa is explaining all of this, the younger boy, whom she had introduced as Thatcher, interrupts and goes on about how Ash looks just like the 'legendary hero.' Alyssa tells him to calm down, and explains that long ago, a legendary hero dressed in blue accompanied by an Electric Pokémon brought the light stone to their village. Ash assures Thatcher that he is no hero, but the young boy insists upon it. He brings everyone to his house and pleads with Ash to teach him how to battle, and the trainer agrees.
They move to a quiet spot in the woods to begin their training. Ash starts off by saying that getting to know one's Pokémon and putting trust in them is one of the most important things to keep in mind. Before he is able to explain anymore, Alyssa exclaims that she must get back to the lighthouse because a heavy fog is beginning to roll in. Thatcher and the rest of the group decide to follow her.
Once they arrive, Team Rocket shows up once again, this time armed with a Zapdos robot. They slice the roof off of the lighthouse and swipe both the stone and Alyssa's Magnemite. Pikachu attempts to stop them with a Thunderbolt, but to no avail; The attack bounced off, having no effect on the villains. They quickly snatch up Pikachu, throw Magnemite back at Alyssa, and make their getaway. Even though the thick fog veils their escape, Ash calls out to Pikachu and tells it to use its Thunderbolt on the light stone, which it does. The light stone, charged with electrical power, shines brightly within the fog. Now, with a beacon to follow, the group heads after the thieves.
They're soon found and, in another attempt to escape, take to the sky once more. Thatcher orders his Plusle and Minun to use Helping Hand on Pikachu, which recharges the Electric Mouse to full power. Pikachu grins and lets loose a devastating Thunder attack, overloading the machine and sending in spiraling to the ground. Thatcher doesn't stop there, however; after another Helping Hand used on each other, Plusle and Minun rush the incapacitated machine using Spark, dealing with Team Rocket once and for all.
With the light stone returned and Thatcher more confident in his Pokémon, the group bids them farewell and continues on their way towards Mauville City and Ash's next gym badge...

Trivia
- For reasons unknown, this episode, as well as Jump For Joy, A Pokéblock Party, and Watt's With Wattson? have aired only twice on American TV. These may be classified as "lost" TV episodes since Pokémon: Advanced underwent a 3 month hiatus on Kids' WB!. They can still be obtained on Volume 8 of the Advanced DVD and the Advanced DVD Box Set. It has been played once more in Cartoon Network's Pokémon Episodes that are new to the network in the summer of 2008.
- This is the first time Max pulls Brock away from a girl.
- The dub title makes a reference to Misty, the Gym Leader and Ash's traveling companion during the original series. Interestingly, she would reappear just six episodes later.
- This episode is featured on the Volume 4: Electric copy of Pokémon Elements.
- This is one of the few episodes in which Ash's Pikachu uses Thunder.
Errors
- In one scene, May's socks completely disappeared.
- James's Cacnea had the three dark green diamonds under its mouth and the four point shape at the top of its head colored black like its mouth when it was attacking Ash and his friends.
