Synopsis

Ash, Misty, and Tracey are riding on Lapras to get to the next island, when they see small splashes of water coming up behind them. When it goes past, Tracey can tell that it's a Nurse Joy. They follow her to a small island. On the island they follow her tracks and see that they stop in front of a small bay. Then a giant Magikarp jumps out of the water onto shore. They try to push it back in when Nurse Joy comes. She calms the Magikarp down and her Chansey gives it 25 calcium tablets because it's over three meters long. Then Nurse Joy picks the Magikarp up and throws it into the bay. After that, she tells them that she goes from each small island to the next to help Pokémon because they're too small to have Pokémon Centers of their own. She then treats them to free food at her clinic. They then ask if they can help, and they go into a montage where they help a Sandshrew, Vileplume, Spearow, Onix, and a Mankey. Then after trying to help some baby Seel during a storm, they have to all go to the nearest island to rest. This is when Team Rocket comes and captures them all in a net. Then the giant Magikarp comes and starts to ram into the boat. Nurse Joy says there's no use but Magikarp keeps trying. While taking a breath Magikarp evolves into a Gyarados then whacks Team Rocket away with a Tail Whip. Then Ash, Misty, and Tracey leave after helping the baby Seel.
