Synopsis
Template:Incomplete synopsis
Ash and his friends are walking along the road, with Pikachu and Axew running ahead. After running past a bend in the road, Pikachu loses sight of Axew, and instead runs into a Mareep. After wondering if the Mareep is wild, they notice a light coming towards them from the other end, which turns out to be an Ampharos.
Soon after, a girl walks over, calling for Ampharos and Mareep. She introduces herself to be Ellie, and explains that the Mareep and Ampharos are hers. Furthermore, her grandfather owns Floccesy Ranch, where a great number of Mareep live. She brings them to the ranch, where she offers Ash and his friends some sandwiches and soup. She also explains to them the problem with Ampharos - it is too timid and the Mareep refuse to follow its orders. Because of its timidness, Ellie is trying to teach Ampharos a new move, ThunderPunch. Ampharos demonstrates its ThunderPunch, although it fails. To help, Iris sends out her Dragonite to demonstrate ThunderPunch and to coach Ampharos.
While Team Rocket is watching them from atop a hill and decide that catching the Mareep would help with their electrical power, and begin their plan to capture all the Mareep along with the Ampharos.
Meanwhile, Dragonite is still teaching Ampharos how to use ThunderPunch when suddenly, a beam of electricity hits one of the Mareep. The Mareep wakes up and happily follows the beam to its source, which happens to be a machine that Team Rocket created, with a cage on the bottom. The unsuspecting Mareep walks into the cage, which closes behind it.
Ellie suddenly notices that there seems to be something wrong, and she counts the Mareep, realizing that there are only nine as opposed to ten. She and Ampharos panic, until Ash and his friends decide to help Ellie search. Meanwhile, Team Rocket changes locations and catches another Mareep.
After searching for a while, they meet back up at the ranch, where they discover that no one has found anything. Ellie count the Mareep again, and discovers that another one has wandered off! They go search again, but suddenly, the fog sets in. Frustrated, they go back to the ranch, where they consult a map of the ranch. As they do, Ellie's grandfather walks by and asks what's wrong, to which Ellie replies that two of the Mareep are lost. Ellie's grandfather then says that Ampharos is not suited to guarding the Mareep and suggests exchanging it in the upcoming Pokemon exchange meeting, but Ellie convinces him to give Ampharos more time. Suddenly, Pikachu and Axew run up and point to something in the woods, which turns out to be Ampharos using its light to search for the Mareep.
