{{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} are all sleeping. All of a sudden, there is a glowing light, which wakes up Cilan, and Iris gets woken up by it too. On the other hand, Ash is still asleep, but soon wakes up and sneezes (accidentally) on {{AP|Pikachu}}. The glowing light is more distinctive than ever and they watch the light fade away, as Cilan says he is also a "Science Connoisseur" and explains all of the methods he comes up with. As such, he thinks it was a UFO, while Iris is surprised and Ash is excited.

Cilan says he is also a "Science Connoisseur" and explains all of the methods he comes up with. As such, he thinks it was a UFO, Iris is surprised and Ash is excited.  


The next morning, Ash, Cilan, and Iris are at a local diner. As they talk to a worker there, they realize that they are at [[Area 28]], a place where UFOs are common sightings, which Ash gets down as he thought they made a huge discovery. A customer, hearing this conversation, tells them about [[Professor Icarus]], who has been studying UFOs. Cilan gets excited, saying that he has just finished a book Professor Icarus wrote. The customer begins talking about Professor Icarus's research, and how everybody is very interested in it. One day, a mailman, while delivering, got a severe headache and witnessed outer space floating all around him. The worker continues the story from here, saying people were so concerned for this man they asked Professor Icarus, and Icarus insisted they left at once, and while leaving, they experienced the same feeling as the mailman. Ash, Iris, and Cilan insist that they go to Icarus's house, and, soon, they head off.

The group heads to the Professor Icarus's house.


On the road to Professor Icarus's house, there is a bridge. As Ash and company walk across it, an {{p|Elgyem}} sees them, and, when walking near the halfway point of the bridge, they see a vision of Ash falling through the broken parts of the bridge. The three of them get confused, and wonder if that's the future, while Ash raps on a part of a bridge, which falls off easily. All of them get surprised.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is seen spying on the Elgyem, while [[Jessie]] is impressed by Elgyem's powers, and so is [[James]], though he wonders how they're going to catch it with Elgyem using {{m|Teleport}}. {{MTR}} says they'll come up with a device to sense where Elgyem has teleported.  
Meanwhile, {{TRT}} are seen spying on the Elgyem, the group are pleased of the power of Elgyem and decided capture it, but they must use a device that Elgyem will not be unable to teleport.  


Ash and his friends have gotten across the bridge and are now rapping at Professor Icarus's door, especially Cilan. After a few moments, Icarus finally opens up, while Cilan gets excited, saying how he greatly admires Icarus's work and has just finished the book he has written, and Ash and Iris look slightly sheepish. Icarus, very surprised, invites them in for some snacks, and they allow him to lead them into the house.  
Ash and his friends arrive at Professor Icarus's house. The knock on the door and Icarus opens up Cilan admires Icarus's work and has just finished the book he has written. Icarus, seeing how Cilan delighted is, invites them.  


The four of them are discussing the odd visions they are experiencing, while even Professor Icarus does not understand. Cilan, still a bit giddy from meeting Icarus, tells everyone the pointers of the book, and Ash, interested, insists that he should read it. Iris teases him since he "can't even get through page one". This upsets Ash, but before Ash and Iris can have their argument, all four of them experience a sudden vision of a lab exploding. Icarus is very fussed and runs, insisting that they don't come with him, though Ash, Iris, and Cilan, worried about what's going to happen to the Professor and the lab, follow anyway.

Icarus is typing wildly, attempting to prevent the building from exploding. Ash, Iris, and Cilan arrive, but Icarus gets annoyed, saying that they should have stayed back there, but Cilan persists that they must help. Icarus gives in and says they could help by pulling a plug out of a large UFO. Ash, Iris, Cilan, and even Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew|Axew}} try to help, but it's no good--the plug simply won't come out. When it looks like all is lost, some Pokémon uses {{m|Telekinesis}} to pull it out, saving the lab and all of them!

Ash and co. look around for the Pokémon, and then they notice an Elgyem, which Ash wrongly states for an alien.

Suddenly there is a knock on the door, and they wonder who it is, Icarus asking. Apparently, it's Science Workers, who seem to have found out how to manipulate dark matter, something Icarus has been studying for years. So he gets very excited and demands them to show it. The two pull out devices that open, saying it prevents Pokémon powers. They pull out another device, which they do not explain and open it. Bolts of blue electricity wrap around the four of them, and the Science Workers are revealed to be Team Rocket!
The group hears the knock on the door and open the door to find Team Rocket dressed as the Science Workers. They pull out devices that open that traps the group with an blue electricity wrap and they take off their clothes to reveal their idenity.


Ash gets upset, and Elgyem senses danger and uses Teleport. Apparently the device that senses teleporting activates and it is immediately found out where Elgyem teleported. Another bolt of electricity come out and wraps Elgyem, and once put in the box cannot Teleport. Meowth then comes in a machine, as Jessie and James hop in with Elgyem in tow. Icarus gets very worried as they all attempt to break free. Cilan manages to pull out {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble}}'s Poké Ball. Once Dwebble is out, Cilan commands an {{m|X-Scissor}} to break the device, and it works. When they get out, they notice Team Rocket is too far up from the sky, Icarus decides to use the UFO he's been building, and they run inside.
Elgyem attempts to get away with a Teleport. The one of devices sense teleporting and use electricity to caputre and traps it on the box.

As soon as the UFO is lifted into the air, it lurches a bit, however Icarus is able to manage it. They continue up and get closer, which Team Rocket notices, and Meowth turns the ship upon command. Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} while Ash sends out {{AP|Tranquill}}. Both Trainers order a {{m|Gust}} which seems to have even power at first but eventually Tranquill's goes through, knocking out Woobat.
