The episode starts with Team Rocket gobbling down a bunch of fruits stacked in a treehollow,without carin much for their owners.Suddenly they hear spine-chilling and ominous laughters that drive them crazy.Those are being produced by a group of Phantump,with a shiny one,who are apparently infuriated because the fruits were intended to be the offerings to them.Team Rocket pays no heed,and soon gets blasted off in the horizon,with the shiny Phantump tagging along.

This runagate Phantump is later discovered by Ash and co.,with whom it quickly warms up,after some initial sullenness and refusals.It is revealed that ,because of living with no other pokemon but its own gang,Phantump has become caustic and cynical towards the rest of the world.After meeting a few amiable wild pokemon,and in the jocund company of our heroes,it begins to reconsider its worldview.

Team Rocket seizes the opportunity,and in the guises of Kirlia,Gardevoir and Gallade,kidnaps the shiny Phantump.In an attempt of rescuing it,Pikachu gets trapped.But with a joint effort of our heroes and its fellow Phantump,both it and Pikachu are rescued.After boosting the confidence of the shiny Phantump,Ash and the gang continue their journey towards Snowbelle city,leaving their newfound friend in an optimistic and benevolent world which it shouldn't fear living in.

Trivia

File:Title Card XY Team Rocket V2.png
The title card segment focuses on Team Rocket for this episode

Errors

  • After Ash scans the Shiny Phantump with his Pokédex, the macaron it was eating got larger as if it hadn't eaten much of it though while the Pokedex entry was being read, it ate most of the macaron.
  • When Team Rocket disguises themselves as Phantump and take the Shiny Phantump away, when Clemont, Bonnie and Dedenne come around the corner, Dedenne is heard but his mouth doesn't move.
  • Before being blasted off, the group of Phantump trap Team Rocket in Forest's Curse. However, this should not have affected Gourgeist because she is part Grass-type.
