==Plot==
{{an|Jigglypuff}} {{m|sing}}s its song in the woods, putting a nearby {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Caterpie}} to sleep. After scribbling on their faces, a teapot drops on its head. It looks up to notice a {{wp|UFO}} overhead just before it crash-lands nearby. Jigglypuff walks over to it to see some {{p|Clefairy}} get out.


While searching for the aliens, they see a UFO land in front of them. Two aliens come out and abduct Pikachu, but they are really [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in disguise. They put Pikachu in a glass container that absorbs electricity into a lightbulb. The UFO is really being operated by {{MTR}}, using a crane. Ash summons his {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, which brings down the UFO. Before the battle with Team Rocket can continue, Clefairy appears, and Oswald's scanner says that it is an alien. It says the same thing about Jigglypuff when it shows up. When the scanner says Misty is an alien, she knocks it out of his hand, breaking it.
The next day, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are eating ice cream when a Clefairy walks up to them. They chase Clefairy, but while they are gone, more Clefairy steal their ice cream and [[Bag|backpacks]]. When Ash and his friends go to [[Officer Jenny]], they discover that many other people have also been robbed. As {{an|Brock}} questions why the robbers chose such obscure items, a man named [[Oswald]] enters and believes the string of thefts are the work of {{wp|aliens}}. Officer Jenny reveals that objects began disappearing three nights ago.


A Clefairy grabs Pikachu and runs off with it, still trapped in its shockproof container. Ash, Misty, Brock, Oswald, Togepi, and Jigglypuff chase after it and go down a hole into an underground cave. There they see the Clefairy have been using their stolen items to build a spaceship attached to a rocket, and they plan to use Pikachu's electricity to power it and make it blast off. Ash, Misty, Oswald, Togepi, and Jigglypuff enter while Brock goes back to tell Officer Jenny. Team Rocket also enters, intending to steal Pikachu and all the Clefairy.

It says the same thing about Jigglypuff when it shows up. When the scanner says {{an|Misty}} is an alien, she knocks it out of his hand, breaking Oswald's comic book-ordered scanner.


Inside the ship, Jigglypuff defeats all the Clefairy except for the leader, in the cockpit, where Oswald tries to pull a lever, but it breaks off. It turns out to be Jigglypuff's microphone/marker, which Jigglypuff takes and then sings its song, putting everyone inside the ship to sleep. The ship is timed to take off, and does. The stolen items are all lost during takeoff, and are returned to their rightful owners. The rocket, with Team Rocket still aboard, detaches from the ship and falls. Ash finds Pikachu, whose electric attacks are too powerful for its prison, shattering the glass. Ash, Misty, Pikachu, and Togepi escape from the ship, using [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]'s {{m|Vine Whip}} to grab onto a skyscraper as the ship goes into space.

Later, the Clefairy's UFO returns and lands in a small village, where Oswald gets out, inside cardboard box with a helmet, as he believes himself to be on the Clefairy's home planet. The Clefairy come out, and take more items from the inhabitants.

==Trivia==
* The episode's title is a straight parody of {{wp|fairy tale}}s.
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]]: {{p|Raichu}}
* This episode title is almost identical to that of a chapter in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]''.
** Pokémon senryū summary: A {{p|Raichu}}, one per household; private power generator.
* Near the end of this episode, a chef said he was going to cook {{wp|chicken}}. This leads reason to believe that animals may exist in the [[Pokémon world]].
* The group of {{p|Clefairy}} from this episode later reappear in ''[[EP246|Wish Upon a Star Shape]]''.
* This episode raised many theories which include the idea that Pokémon are indeed aliens. Many believe that alien Pokémon are in fact Pokémon in the {{egg3|Fairy}}. The evidence backing this theory is the fact that the scanner beeped when near Clefairy, Jigglypuff, and Misty (holding Togepi, which evolves into Togetic). In addition, some could say that when Oswald's scanner beeps when detecting Team Rocket's "aliens", it was actually beeping because Ash approached it with Pikachu, another member of the Fairy egg group.
* The episode's English [[dub]] title is derived from "{{wp|fairy tale}}s".
* Team Rocket, disguised as aliens, mutter something that is heard as "nomékop," which happens to be the word "Pokémon" said backwards.
** It is almost identical to that of a chapter in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}, ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'', which is partially based on this episode.
* The group of Clefairy from this episode later reappear in ''[[EP246|Wish Upon a Star Shape]]''.
* A Clefairy recites its name in the end of {{TRT}}'s motto instead of {{MTR}}.
* This was the last episode to air before the release of {{game|Yellow}}.

Also, Meowth mentions "Cape Canasta" in the dub, a pun on {{wp|Cape Canaveral, Florida}}, and the card game {{wp|Canasta}}, while in the original version, he just mentions that it has gotten noisy.
* Ash's analogy of Pikachu's electricity being like the excess air that pops a balloon was added in the dub; in the original he just repeats Misty's theory of Pikachu's electricity being too powerful.

Blurb

Ash, Brock and Misty get sidetracked on their way to Viridian City when all of their belongings mysteriously disappear. While searching for their missing things, the group find themselves mixed up in a close encounter that's really out of this world!

Plot

Jigglypuff sings its song in the woods, putting a nearby wild Pidgey and Caterpie to sleep. After scribbling on their faces, a teapot drops on its head. It looks up to notice a UFO overhead just before it crash-lands nearby. Jigglypuff walks over to it to see some Clefairy get out.

The next day, Ash and his friends are eating ice cream when a Clefairy walks up to them. They chase Clefairy, but while they are gone, more Clefairy steal their ice cream and backpacks. When Ash and his friends go to Officer Jenny, they discover that many other people have also been robbed. As Brock questions why the robbers chose such obscure items, a man named Oswald enters and believes the string of thefts are the work of aliens. Officer Jenny reveals that objects began disappearing three nights ago.

While searching for the aliens, they see a UFO land in front of them. Two silver aliens come out and abduct Pikachu, but they are really Jessie and James in disguise. They put Pikachu in a glass container that absorbs electricity into a lightbulb. The UFO is really being operated by Meowth, using a crane. Ash summons his Pidgeotto, which brings down the UFO. Before the battle with Team Rocket can continue, Clefairy appears, and Oswald's scanner says that it is an alien. It says the same thing about Jigglypuff when it shows up. When the scanner says Misty is an alien, she knocks it out of his hand, breaking Oswald's comic book-ordered scanner.

A Clefairy grabs Pikachu and runs off with him, still trapped in his shockproof container. Ash and the others chase after it and go down a manhole cover that leads to an underground cave. There they see the Clefairy have been using their stolen items to build a spaceship attached to a rocket, and they plan to use Pikachu's electricity to power it and make it blast off. Ash and the others enter while Brock goes back to tell Officer Jenny. Team Rocket also enters, intending to steal Pikachu and all the Clefairy.

Inside the ship, Jigglypuff defeats all the Clefairy with a series of Pound attacks, and later battles the leader, who is in the cockpit. Oswald makes his way to the cockpit and tries to pull a lever, but it breaks off. It turns out to be Jigglypuff's marker microphone, which Jigglypuff takes and then sings its song, putting everyone inside the ship to sleep. The ship is timed to take off, and does. The stolen items are all lost during the takeoff, and are returned to their rightful owners. The rocket, with Team Rocket still aboard, detaches from the ship and falls. Ash finds Pikachu, whose Electric attacks are too powerful for his prison, shattering the glass. Ash and the others escape from the ship, using Ash's Bulbasaur's Vine Whip to grab onto a skyscraper as the spacecraft continues its ascent.

Later, the Clefairy's UFO returns and lands in a small village to take more items from locals for their next escape attempt. Oswald gets out, inside a cardboard box for a helmet, as he believes himself to be on the Clefairy's home planet.

Ash and his friends continue their Pokémon journey, unaware that Jigglypuff is following them.
