{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} sail onboard {{AP|Lapras}}, but all of them seem bored. {{AP|Pikachu}} points to [[Unnamed island (EP098)|a nearby island]], which they mark as their destination. As they head for it, {{an|Jigglypuff}} surfaces nearby. They touch down in a cove as Pikachu and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} run off while the humans take in the island scenery. {{an|Misty}} sends out her {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}} and {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} to play, along with Ash's Lapras. A piece of fruit hits Ash in the head as they see a {{p|Farfetch'd}} flying above them. A whole flock takes off from the island as {{Tracey}} sketches them. Pikachu and Togepi return with some fruit as Pikachu points to all the fruit trees. Ash and Misty take a bit of the yellow fruit, finding them sour. Tracey finds some darker ones that are riper. The group decides to rest for the day on the island as a {{wp|vacation}}. Ash brings out his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, his {{AP|Snorlax}} and {{AP|Charizard}} quickly going to sleep. Tracey brings out his Pokémon. Misty brings out {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, but it is already out. {{TP|Tracey|Scyther}} shows off its strength, scaring some of the Pokémon. Togepi is not afraid, walking up to Scyther and playing. Everyone else soon follows. Ash calls to Charizard to greet, but it looks away. Ash walks closer as Charizard uses {{m|Flamethrower}} on Ash. The attack also heads toward Scyther, but it deflects it with its scythes. Charizard notices as Scyther steps closer. Charizard stands up, as the two seem ready to fight. Ash stops them as the two turn away.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is also taking their vacation on the island. [[Jessie]] decides to not steal any Pokémon, but when she spots Togepi playing with {{TP|Tracey|Marill}} nearby, Lapras eating algae, and Goldeen and Staryu swimming, they realize that Ash and his friends are nearby. Ash’s group enjoys the break as Team Rocket observes nearby, deciding to poach all the Pokémon.  
The group decides to rest for the day on the island and sends out all of their Pokémon. Just then, as Ash is trying to interact with {{AP|Charizard}}, it uses {{m|Flamethrower}} on him. The attack also heads toward {{TP|Tracey|Scyther}}, but it deflects it with its scythes. The two then have a tense confrontation before it is defused by Ash. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is also taking a vacation on the island. [[Jessie]] decides to not steal any Pokémon, but when she spots the group's Pokémon, they realize that Ash and his friends are nearby, and abandon their vacation plans in favor of stealing Pokémon.


Ash and co. bring back fruit as Snorlax attempts to eat the pile, but Scyther wards him away. Inside the pile, Jigglypuff pops out and {{m|sing}}s, putting everyone to {{status|sleep}}. As usual, Jigglypuff stops, gets angry and draws on everyone.  
Later, Ash and his friends bring back fruit as {{AP|Snorlax}} attempts to eat the pile, but Scyther wards him away. Inside the pile, Jigglypuff pops out and {{m|sing}}s, putting everyone to {{status|sleep}}. As usual, Jigglypuff stops, gets angry, and scribbles on everyone's faces. When everyone wakes up, they decide to let Snorlax sleep longer while they continue preparing. The Pokémon enjoy their share of fruit as everyone realizes how much they need the vacation. Tracey brings fruit sandwiches to the table as Misty is curious about the new food style. Snorlax comes up, eats everything, and goes back to sleep, leaving everyone else to clean the dishes. Tracey notices that Snorlax doesn't eat as much now due to less energy exertion. Misty chastises Ash for not {{pkmn|training}} Snorlax.


When everyone wakes up, they decide to let Snorlax sleep longer while they continue preparing. The Pokémon enjoy their share of fruit as everyone realizes how much they need the vacation. Tracey brings fruit sandwiches to the table as Misty is curious about the new food style. Snorlax comes up and takes the entire plate, sliding the contents into its mouth. It goes back to sleep, leaving everyone else to clean the dishes. Tracey notices that Snorlax doesn't eat as much now due to less energy exertion. Misty slams Ash for not really {{pkmn|training}} Snorlax. Togepi seems happy playing with Marill's tail. Scyther flexes its power while training in the middle of the pond, Charizard watching with intent.
At night, everyone is asleep, but Pikachu wakes up and notices that Ash is not there. He finds Ash on the beach, speculating about the [[GS Ball]]. Pikachu comes over and joins him in some stargazing. Ash then pulls out his two [[Badge]]s and remembers how different [[Cissy]] and [[Danny]] were as [[Gym Leader]]s compared to the ones in [[Kanto]].


At night, everyone is asleep, but Pikachu wakes up and notices Ash is not there. Ash is out on the beach, speculating about the [[GS Ball]], comparing it to a normal [[Poké Ball]]. Pikachu comes over as they watch the stars bright and clear. Ash pulls out his two [[Badge]]s and remembers how different [[Cissy]] and [[Danny]] were as [[Gym]] Leaders compared to the [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s, reflecting on his wins for the {{Badge|Coral Eye}} and {{Badge|Sea Ruby}}, wondering about the next one.  
Back at the camp, Misty is awakened by Tracey's sleep-talking, but a {{m|Sleep Powder}} attack over the camp silences all but Charizard and Scyther. [[James's Victreebel]] stops sending the powder as Jessie fires a {{wp|bazooka}}, capturing everyone with suction plugs. {{MTR}} tries to reel them all in, but Snorlax is too heavy to drag. Scyther slashes the rope as Charizard steps up to aid. The powerful Pokémon roar battle cries, waking the camp and getting Ash and Pikachu to return. Team Rocket rappels in on a {{wp|zip-line}} reciting their {{motto}}, but they crash into a tree before they can finish.

Team Rocket rappels in on a {{wp|zip-line}} reciting their {{motto}}, crashing into a tree before they can finish, which makes them say their final lines incoherently due to being stunned from the impact. Meowth jumps in and gets them in line with {{m|scratch}}es to the face.  
Team Rocket sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} as Ash sends Pikachu. Weezing's {{m|Smokescreen}} covers the field, but Scyther's {{m|Swords Dance}} clears it and sends Weezing flying. {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}} take turns using {{m|Vine Whip}}, {{m|Water Gun}}, and {{m|Thunder Shock}} to attack Team Rocket. Charizard follows up with Flamethrower as Scyther uses {{m|Skull Bash}} to send them blasting off. Ash congratulates the Pokémon as they watch Charizard and Scyther walk away in an informal motion of respect.

Blurb

Ash and the gang discover a new island that is loaded with different types of fruit trees, and since the food there is free they decide to take a day off and give their Pokémon a little vacation. Unfortunately, Team Rocket doesn't take a day off from trying to steal Pikachu... will they catch our heroes off guard?

Plot

Ash and his friends sail onboard Lapras, but all of them seem bored. Pikachu points to a nearby island, which they mark as their destination. As they head for it, Jigglypuff surfaces nearby. They touch down in a cove as Pikachu and Togepi run off while the humans take in the island scenery. Misty sends out her Goldeen and Staryu to play, along with Lapras. A piece of fruit suddenly hits Ash in the head, and they see a Farfetch'd flying above them. A whole flock takes off from the island as Tracey sketches them. Pikachu and Togepi return with some fruit as Pikachu points to all the fruit trees. Ash and Misty take a bite of the yellow fruit, finding them sour. Tracey finds some darker ones that are riper.

The group decides to rest for the day on the island and sends out all of their Pokémon. Just then, as Ash is trying to interact with Charizard, it uses Flamethrower on him. The attack also heads toward Scyther, but it deflects it with its scythes. The two then have a tense confrontation before it is defused by Ash. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is also taking a vacation on the island. Jessie decides to not steal any Pokémon, but when she spots the group's Pokémon, they realize that Ash and his friends are nearby, and abandon their vacation plans in favor of stealing Pokémon.

Later, Ash and his friends bring back fruit as Snorlax attempts to eat the pile, but Scyther wards him away. Inside the pile, Jigglypuff pops out and sings, putting everyone to sleep. As usual, Jigglypuff stops, gets angry, and scribbles on everyone's faces. When everyone wakes up, they decide to let Snorlax sleep longer while they continue preparing. The Pokémon enjoy their share of fruit as everyone realizes how much they need the vacation. Tracey brings fruit sandwiches to the table as Misty is curious about the new food style. Snorlax comes up, eats everything, and goes back to sleep, leaving everyone else to clean the dishes. Tracey notices that Snorlax doesn't eat as much now due to less energy exertion. Misty chastises Ash for not training Snorlax.

At night, everyone is asleep, but Pikachu wakes up and notices that Ash is not there. He finds Ash on the beach, speculating about the GS Ball. Pikachu comes over and joins him in some stargazing. Ash then pulls out his two Badges and remembers how different Cissy and Danny were as Gym Leaders compared to the ones in Kanto.

Back at the camp, Misty is awakened by Tracey's sleep-talking, but a Sleep Powder attack over the camp silences all but Charizard and Scyther. James's Victreebel stops sending the powder as Jessie fires a bazooka, capturing everyone with suction plugs. Meowth tries to reel them all in, but Snorlax is too heavy to drag. Scyther slashes the rope as Charizard steps up to aid. The powerful Pokémon roar battle cries, waking the camp and getting Ash and Pikachu to return. Team Rocket rappels in on a zip-line reciting their motto, but they crash into a tree before they can finish.

Team Rocket sends out Arbok and Weezing as Ash sends Pikachu. Weezing's Smokescreen covers the field, but Scyther's Swords Dance clears it and sends Weezing flying. Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Pikachu take turns using Vine Whip, Water Gun, and Thunder Shock to attack Team Rocket. Charizard follows up with Flamethrower as Scyther uses Skull Bash to send them blasting off. Ash congratulates the Pokémon as they watch Charizard and Scyther walk away in an informal motion of respect.

The next day, Ash brings out Lapras as everyone departs the island with refreshed spirits. Meanwhile, Team Rocket finds themselves stuck on a small rock island. They try to relax as a Farfetch'd comes up, and the trio realizes that the small rock is holding the Farfetch'd flock. The Farfetch'd all proceed to smack Team Rocket with their sticks.
