Synopsis

Template:Incomplete synopsis On the S.S. St. Flower to Slateport City, the mysterious disguising thief Brodie returns and steals the Ribbon Cup, which forces officials to cancel the Grand Festival! Now Ash and friends must get the Ribbon Cup back and save the Grand Festival! Not only that but Team Rocket decide to go after it as well.

The gang realize that they will need to find some way to force Brody out. Officer Jenny has an idea and quickly spray paints a Poke Ball calling it the first Golden Poke Ball. Ash and friends then begin spreading the word to everywhere hoping that Brody will hear at least one of them and will decide to steal the Poke ball.

Our heroes regroup back at the same place where the ball was stolen. They then hear someone coming and hide. Team Rocket disguised as bell hops try to steal the ball, but our heroes catch them in the act. They then reveal themselves only for Pikachu to send them blasting off. Our heroes are shocked that wasn't Brodie trying to steal the ball.

Suddenly the captain appears and states to Officer Jenny that Brodie is attacking the Pokemon Center. May realizes that all her Pokemon are there. The gang rush off to there only to meet the captain again, who claims he just got back from the Pokemon Center. The gang realize the captain earlier was an imposter.

The fake captain is about to steal the Poke ball when Jenny orders him to stop and reveal himself. Brodie notes they are persistent and immediately throws away his disguise. Officer Jenny states he is under arrest, but Brodie immediately calls out his Golbat and it uses Haze blinding out heroes with the smoke and allowing Brodie to get away. Unfortunately there is even worse news: Brodie took the Golden Poke Ball.

The gang know they cannot fool Brodie the same way again, but Officer Jenny notes it is not a problem as she placed a tracker in the ball, so they can track Brodie down with no problems.

• This is the fourth episode in the anime series with "Caper" in the title. The other three are The Case of the K9 Caper, The Kecleon Caper, and The Corsola Caper.
• When Officer Jenny sprays the Poké Ball with golden color, she says she present world's first golden Poké Ball. This is not completely true. Another fake golden Poké Ball was sold to James by Magikarp salesman in Battle Aboard the St. Anne. Also, the GS Ball is half golden. However, Officer Jenny may not have knew about them.
