Synopsis

Ash, Brock, and Dawn have finally arrived at Chocovine Town, the site of Dawn's next Pokémon Contest. As they explore the harbor, Dawn notices a stand selling all kinds of Phione merchandise and begins hugging one of the Phione dolls. The man in charge of the stand informs the gang that Phione bring good luck to those who spot them and about Phione watching, where tourists can take a ride on a submarine and hopefully see the Phione up close. He mentions that every Coordinator that visited Chocovine and saw a Phione won the Contest they entered. Ash, Brock, and Dawn all decide to try their luck on finding the Phione. Ash asks Dawn which Pokémon she plans on using in her Contest which she responds with Buneary and Pachirisu. This discourages Piplup, but she assures Piplup that the other Pokémon look up to him and he should cheer them on.

That night, the gang head over to a submarine to go Phione watching, not knowing that it's being organized by Team Rocket. As they prepare to set off, James questions the consequences if they are unable to find any Phione. Jessie tells him that if they can't find any, then they'll just put Meowth in the water disguised as a Phione, which terrifies Meowth. As the gang and other tourists observe the aquatic life a trio of Phione rush past their submarine. The three of them begin swimming around the ship as the tourists praise them for bringing good luck. Team Rocket is also overjoyed at the chance of finding the Phione as Jessie unrolls a long list of things that she wants. The Phione denies her list of requests and simply sticks its tongue out at Team Rocket. As the trio continue showing off for the tourists, one of them takes a liking to Dawn's Buneary. Jessie then comes up with a plan of capturing a Phione and giving it to the boss to bring him good luck, hoping to get some good luck in return. The submarine returns to shore and as everyone begins to head home, the Phione from before surfaces already missing Buneary. Its friends call it back to the water when they notice how sad their friend seems that Buneary is gone. In its moment of sadness, Team Rocket appears and captures Phione in a net.

The next morning, Ash and the gang are doing their morning exercises when Ash then decides that it's time to train for his Snowpoint City Gym battle. Dawn then requests to do some shopping before training and promises that she wouldn't take long. Team Rocket is then seen sitting in the park admiring their successful capture of Phione when Jessie decides to let it swim in the fountain for a little while. They decide it's time to go, but Phione slips and slides from their clutches and uses Acid Armor to escape into the town's water system. Phione then travels across town through sinks and other types of plumbing in search of Buneary. It finally spots them as they are on their way to the store and loses track of them when they get on a bus. Phione was disappointed for a moment until Team Rocket spotted it and gave chase. Phione freezes them giving it enough time to escape. Meanwhile, Dawn is browsing through the store's supply of seals, leaving Brock, Pikachu, and Ash to carry all her bags. She tells them that she's finished shopping and they can spend the rest of their time training.

The three head down to the beach and Dawn begins training Pachirisu for the Contest when Phione appears out of the water. It rushes over to Buneary and invites Buneary to come with it. Piplup walks over and happily greets Phione by shaking its fin, which Phione responds by freezing Piplup with an Ice Beam. Team Rocket's submarine appears from the water, and they tell Phione to return to them. Phione backs away from them and notices Buneary latched on to Pikachu. Phione, enraged with envy, challenges Pikachu to a battle and the winner keeps Buneary for themselves. Pikachu rejects Phione's offer which only upsets it even more. Buneary then decides that she'll battle Phione instead. Phione agrees and the two begin battling down on the beach.

Buneary beats Phione and Brock goes over to make sure Phione is okay. Phione, heartbroken, goes over and tells Buneary goodbye, and heads back to the sea. Jessie then claims that just because Phione has personal problems, that it's not getting away from them again. Buneary and Pikachu jump in front of Phione to defend it from Team Rocket. Buneary and Phione freeze Team Rocket with a double Ice Beam, and Pikachu sends them blasting off with a Thunderbolt. With Team Rocket gone, Phione heads back to it's aquatic home, disappointed at it's loss of Buneary, when Buneary calls out to it. Dawn translates that Buneary hopes to see Phione again and have another battle. Phione then is overjoyed and waves goodbye to its new friends when its fellow Phione appear to welcome it back home. The episode ends with Team Rocket floating in their iceberg complaining that Phione brought them no good luck at all.
