The episode starts with Ash, Misty and Brock walking through the forest, and, according to the narrator, still heading for Violet City. They come across a beautiful looking valley, which they will have to pass through in order to continue on their way. Ash is proclaiming his eagerness to continue, when the ground starts shaking and some large rocks fall the cliff above. On the a ledge on the same cliff sit Jessie, James and Meowth, who are looking very relived at how the rocks missed them. Just as Meowth cracks another awful pun, there is more shaking and the section of rock they are sitting on falls away beneath them. They fall into some trees below and get tangled up into a load of vines. At this point the title screen cuts in.
Ash and Misty and Brock are walking along a road, when they notice a shaking bush, which is concealing a Donphan behind it. Ash is just about to capture it when Brock stops him, saying that because it's tusks are so short, it must be very young, and that he should catch it because it needs a good Pokémon breeder. Ash and Brock then start arguing over who would be the best trainer for it, when Misty cuts in to tell them that the Donphan is walking away.
