The episode begins with Ash, Misty and Brock deciding whether to go to Onix Tunnel just before sunset, only to decide to wait until morning to enter the tunnel. Jigglypuff follows them, and Snubbull follows closely behind. Next, Jessie, James, and Meowth are shown at the cave's entrance, and tell us that it is morning. They attempt to pass the tunnel, but three Onix are blocking the way, and defeat them. Team Rocket runs out of the tunnel, and decides to steal Misty's water Pokémon. A quick flashback follows, including Psyduck, Staryu, Togepi, Poliwhirl, and Goldeen.
Meanwhile, Ash is sitting by the water, Brock is doing exercises with Pineco and Misty is scolding her Psyduck for its habit of putting its hands on its head. Ash begins to notice a somewhat familiar Snubull. Misty says that it's obviously the Snubull that belongs to Madame Muchmoney. Then, a short flashback follows, with Snubull biting Meowth's tail, which was part of Team Rocket's plan to lure Snubull into their trap. Brock thinks that probably Snubullll didn't like living in a fancy mansion, or it could've sniffed something out. Then Snubull runs away. The gang gives chase to Snubull. While, they're doing that, Team Rocket is looking for Misty while daydreaming about the water pokémon.

Trivia
- This is the first time Wobbuffet shouts out its name at the end of Team Rocket's motto.
- This is one of the episodes where Jigglypuff sings its song the most with Ash, Misty, and Brock hearing it twice, Team Rocket hearing it once and the Onix that dwell in the Onix tunnel once.
- Ash mentions that he no longer has his Squirtle. In the dub, however, this episode aired slightly out of order, and aired before the episode where Squirtle returned to the Squirtle Squad, causing confusion for viewers, as well as spoiling the ending to another episode.
Errors
- Brock says that the food pitfall trap is familiar, but the only other one so far was in the Orange Islands when Brock was with Professor Ivy.
