As {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} return their Pokémon after they have eaten, {{AP|Pikachu}} suddenly imitates {{AP|Turtwig}}, and Brock realizes that Turtwig went by itself into the woods. Following its trail, they find Turtwig, who points them to a cliff where a frightened {{p|Hippopotas}} is trapped. Deciding to help it, Ash climbs down the cliff, with the help of a rope onto the platform where Hippopotas is. Ash tries to reassure Hippopotas, but he bites his hand.

Ash then calls Pikachu who slides down the rope, and comforts Hippopotas, with success. Ash promptly hoists Hippopotas into his arms and they are lifted to safety by Brock and Dawn. Brock hands Hippopotas some [[Pokémon food]], however it doesn’t like the taste. Instead, Hippopotas walks over to a nearby fruit tree, so Ash gets a fruit for him, which Hippopotas devours whole.  


Ash then hoists Hippopotas onto his arms and is lifted onto the cliff by Brock and Dawn. The gang find that Hippopotas really wanted to get the fruit on a tree, but fell in the process, so Ash gets a fruit for him, which Hippopotas devours whole. After that they continue their journey when the Hippopotas is starting to follow them. At the same time {{si|Rhonda}} and her staff from ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' show up who are making a film about a herd of Hippopotas. Rhonda recognizes them and informs them that a male {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Hippopotas}} got lost from his family. After hearing the story about his family Ash, Dawn and Brock decide to help him return to his family.
Ash and his friends prepare to leave, saying goodbye to Hippopotas, however the young Pokémon continues to follow them. Suddenly {{si|Rhonda}} and her staff from ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' show up for a scoop about a herd of Hippopotas.

After hearing the story about his family, Ash’s group decides to help Hippopotas return to his family.


They set off in searching for the herd with Hippopotas and the TV crew following them, but they all get into a pitfall trap set up by {{TRT}} who takes Hippopotas in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]]. Being scared, he responds with a {{m|Yawn}}, which hits {{MTR}}. Then Ash sends out his Turtwig which uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} to release Hippopotas. He falls and is caught by Ash releasing another Yawn which hits Brock and Jack. Then they leave and the scene turns to Team Rocket flying around in their balloon and {{MTR}} falling asleep.

He falls and is caught by Ash releasing another Yawn which hits Brock and {{si|Jack}}. [[Jessie]] is left feeling frustrated as Ash and the others flee with the Hippopotas while Meowth drifts off to sleep. [[James]] convinces Jessie that they should go after Hippopotas for the {{an|Giovanni|boss}}, even providing his own [[boss fantasy]].  


James then explains to Jessie that Meowth has been hit by a Yawn attack and suggests they gave the Hippopotas to the {{an|Giovanni|boss}}. Then he [[boss fantasy|imagines]] that Hippopotas would help the boss when he is playing golf by getting his golf ball out of a sand trap. Also when he is at a seaside and there is no sand, Hippopotas would make a beach for him.
Brock suddenly succumbs to the Yawn attack, collapsing on the ground. Ash and Dawn notice Team Rocket flying overhead and decide to hide behind a nearby bush. They quickly realize they forgot Brock, though {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} drags Brock behind the same bush. Meanwhile, Rhonda is annoyed as she is forced to hold the microphone boom while one of her staff carries the now sleeping Jack on his back. Later, Ash and his friends stop at a roadblock, where a bridge is under construction. While distracted, Team Rocket lures Hippopotas into their balloon with the help of a fishing rod and a bait. Then Hippopotas uses {{m|Sand Tomb}} to bring the balloon down to the ground. Ash sends out {{AP|Aipom}} who uses {{m|Focus Punch}} to send Team Rocket blasting off. Back on Ash's head, Hippopotas releases another Yawn, this time on Dawn, making her drowsy, and eventually fall asleep.


The scene then turns to Ash, Dawn and Brock. Hippopotas is carried by Ash on his head and Brock is seen being sleepy followed by a fall to the ground. They notice Team Rocket in their balloon and decide to hide behind a nearby bush. After they realize they forgot Brock, they see {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} dragging Brock behind the same bush.
Next, they continue their trek with Dawn being carried on Brock's back. They come across another bridge, which they proceed to cross. Team Rocket shows up and uses a net to capture Hippopotas. Ash jumps on the net which breaks and they both fall into the river below. Then Brock sends out Croagunk which uses {{m|Poison Sting}} to send Team Rocket blasting off again. Dawn turns her attention to Ash and Hippopotas, and sends her {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}} outs to rescue them. Once ashore, Dawn immediately dries Hippopotas because he is weak to water before taking him to the nearest [[Pokémon Center]] for treatment. After a check-up, [[Nurse Joy]] places Hippopotas in a box of sand to rest and dry himself. Ash and his friends retrieve some more desert sand which helps Hippopotas make a quick recovery.Then they set off in searching of the herd again.


The scene turns to The TV crew with Rhonda carrying the microphone after Jack fell asleep. The scene reverts to Ash, Dawn and Brock who has just woken up. They come across a bridge which is under construction when Team Rocket lures Hippopotas into their balloon with the help of a fishing rod and a bait. Then Hippopotas uses {{m|Sand Tomb}} and brings the balloon down to earth. Ash appears and sends out {{AP|Aipom}} who uses {{m|Focus Punch}} to send Team Rocket blasting off. Back on Ash's head, Hippopotas releases another Yawn, this time on Dawn, making her yawn, and eventually fall asleep.
On their way out, the group spot some roadside sand traders, none other than Team Rocket in [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]]. Not recognizing the trio, Hippopotas releases another Yawn on Jessie and Ash decides to let Hippopotas try the sand, before buying it. Team Rocket closes the bag, trapping Hippopotas inside, before revealing their true identity and rushing to the balloon. As they recite the {{motto}}, Jessie starts to fall asleep, and Hippopotas escapes from the bag. Ash and his friends are furious, and respond back with own rip-off of the Team Rocket motto to intimidate James. James calls {{TP|James|Cacnea}} out to battle and Ash sends out Turtwig. Cacnea unleashes a {{m|Pin Missile}}, but Turtwig dodges and uses {{m|Bite}} then Razor Leaf followed by a {{m|Tackle}}. Then Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} and sends Team Rocket blasting off again for good as Jessie wakes up.  


Next, they continue their road with Dawn being carried on Brock's back. They come across another bridge, which they proceed to cross it. Team Rocket shows up and uses a net to capture Hippopotas. Ash jumps on the net which breaks and they both fall into water. Then Brock sends out Croagunk which uses {{m|Poison Sting}} to send Team Rocket blasting off again.
The group heads off to a large desert, where they spot recent Hippopotas [[footprint]]s. Aside from the sand dunes, nothing is in sight. Hippopotas then calls out to its friends, resulting in plenty of Hippopotas popping out of the sand. They leave Hippopotas there, but, before that, Ash tosses him a fruit, which he gobbles down in a single bite. Hippopotas replies by releasing another Yawn, which lulls Ash and Pikachu to sleep. Later, the group continue onwards to [[Hearthome City]] with a sleeping Ash being carried on Brock's back while Dawn holds Pikachu in her arms.
 
The scene turns to Ash and Hippopotas who struggles to get onto the surface. Then Dawn sends out {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}} to rescue them. The scene is skipped to a scene where Dawn is drying Hippopotas while Ash is drying his own body. They decide to take Hippopotas to the nearest [[Pokémon Center]], and hurry off. At the Pokémon Center, Hippopotas is soaked in the sand, and [[Nurse Joy]] asks Ash and the gang to gather some more dry sand for Hippopotas. They agree, and the scene turns to them gathering sand in a bag. They return to the Center and cover Hippopotas in the sand who starts recovering. Then they set off in searching of the herd again.
 
On their way out, they see Team Rocket who are disguised as a pair of sand salespeople. Not recognizing them, Hippopotas releases another Yawn on Jessie and Ash decides to let Hippopotas try the sand, before buying it. Then, Team Rocket closes the bag revealing their true identity then rush to the balloon. As they recite the {{motto}}, Jessie starts to fall asleep, and Hippopotas escapes out of the bag.
 
Next, James sends out {{TP|James|Cacnea}} and Ash sends out Turtwig. Cacnea uses {{m|Pin Missile}} but Turtwig dodges and uses {{m|Bite}} then Razor Leaf followed by a {{m|Tackle}}. Then Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} and sends Team Rocket blasting off again for good as Jessie wakes up. The group heads off to a large desert, where they see Hippopotas footprints. They sense that Hippopotas are near, when Hippopotas calls out to them, resulting in plenty of Hippopotas popping out of the soil. They leave Hippopotas there, but, before that, Ash tosses him a fruit, which he gobbles down. Then he releases another Yawn resulting in both Ash and Pikachu falling asleep.
 
They once again proceed on their journey with a sleeping Ash being carried on Brock's back and a sleeping Pikachu in Dawn's arms.

Blurb

Ash's Turtwig brings everyone's attention to a young Hippopotas that's stranded on the ledge of a cliff. Ash hauls the Hippopotas to safety, and it insists on following him. Then Rhonda and the Sinnoh Now news team arrive on the scene, and they want to follow Ash around, too! Rhonda wants to see Ash reunite the Hippopotas with its migrating herd. Team Rocket, of course, wants to steal Hippopotas, but between Hippopotas's Yawn attack and Ash, Team Rocket barely even manages to slow our heroes down.

Of course, Team Rocket won't quit that easily. They come back for another try, using a piece of fruit to lure Hippopotas into their balloon. But when Hippopotas uses Sand Tomb, their plans are sunk just as fast as their balloon, and Hippopotas happily returns to Ash. Next Ash has to cross a narrow bridge across a river, and when Team Rocket attacks, Hippopotas falls in the river! For a Ground-type like Hippopotas, that's bad news.

Hippopotas is rushed to the nearest Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy has it feeling fine in no time. The quest for the Hippopotas herd resumes, and the gang encounters a strangely familiar group of sand salesmen. They turn out to be Team Rocket, of course, but the thieving trio didn't count on Hippopotas and that Yawn attack, which puts Jessie to sleep. Meowth and James' Cacnea are no match for Pikachu and Ash's Turtwig, and once they're gone, our heroes keep searching until they find the Hippopotas herd. The lost Hippopotas is back where it belongs and Ash is headed back on the road to Hearthome City—after a Yawn-induced nap, that is!

Plot

After a lunch break, Ash, Dawn and Brock recall their Pokémon and prepare to hit the road once again. Pikachu suddenly imitates Turtwig, and Brock realizes that Turtwig went by itself into the woods. Following its trail, they find Turtwig, who points them to a cliff where a frightened Hippopotas is trapped. Deciding to help it, Ash climbs down the cliff, with the help of a rope onto the ledge where Hippopotas is. Ash tries to reassure Hippopotas, but he is too frightened and bites Ash’s hand. Ash then calls Pikachu who slides down the rope, and comforts Hippopotas, with success. Ash promptly hoists Hippopotas into his arms and they are lifted to safety by Brock and Dawn. Brock hands Hippopotas some Pokémon food, however it doesn’t like the taste. Instead, Hippopotas walks over to a nearby fruit tree, so Ash gets a fruit for him, which Hippopotas devours whole.
