Plot

Giovanni arrives in Unova to oversee the collection of the Meteonite from the Relic Castle in the Desert Resort. Meanwhile, Ash, Iris and Cilan travel to the Desert Resort with Professor Juniper and Officer Jenny to investigate why a swarm of Venipede attacked Castelia City in the previous episode. However, their helicopter is shot down by a Liepard owned by three members of a mysterious organization, who also express interest in the Meteonite and want to obtain it for their own mysterious purposes. Sensing danger, Officer Jenny tells Ash's group to make their way back to Castelia City, but they get sidetracked by a persistent nemesis looking to settle things with Pikachu, the battle leaving Pikachu in a bad state.

After collecting the Meteonite, Giovanni and the rest of Team Rocket return to Castelia City and crash a masquerade party held for the most elite people of Unova. Looker appears, picks up Ash's group along with Juniper and Jenny and helps them infiltrate the party, at which Giovanni is set to demonstrate the Meteonite's power to the guests and ransom total control of the Unova region. However, the Meteonite's active energy causes Pikachu to fall ill and lose control of it's own electric power.
