The episode begins with everybody playing and taking a break at night. As Ash,Misty, and Brock watch the moon, they spot a shooting star. Soon the star comes out of orbit heading towards them! Ash wonders if it was a UFO. Something shoots out of the UFO and lands on Phanpy. Soon the UFO crashes on the other side of the mountain Ash and the gang are near. Soon it is revealed two mysterious people are watching. A Cleffa is revealed to be the thing that landed on Phanpy.

Ash looks Cleffa up in the Pokédex. Cleffa and Phanpy soon come to like each other. But soon Cleffa points toward the place where the UFO landed longingly. Since cleffa came from the UFO, the gang thinks it must be a clefairy spaceship. Ash and the gang decide to get cleffa back to its pals. Team Rocket is soon watching and decides to get cleffa. Just then, two people run up to cleffa and start studying it. They reveal themselves to be Ken and Mary of the Pokémon mystery club(PMC). They ask to take cleffa, except Ash thinks they could be members of team rocket. Upon hearing this they say Team Rocket is horrible. When they hear this,Team Rocket reveals themselves and are angry. Then they recite the modo. The PMC is angry and reveals their machine. The machine shoots out a net, and phanpy runs off with cleffa on its back. Pikachu uses thunderbolt creating smoke and Ash, Misty and Brock run off. While Ash and the gang head toward the mountain, Team Rocket cannot find phanpy and cleffa, so they use a divining stick to show which way they went. As they begin to head that way, PMC appears and shows another machine. It looks like a satellite. It shows them where cleffa is. Then they bring out another machine, which bears a certain resemblance to a snowplow. It quickly catches up to phanpy and cleffa at a cliff. Phanpy looks around and knocks over a tree as a bridge and walks across it.

PMC try's to use harpoons to get to the other side of the cliff but Team Rocket catches up and blast away the harpoons!
