The episode begins with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|the others}} riding on a ferry to the next location. [[Max]] exclaims that they've arrived at the next island, and {{an|Brock}} says that it's [[Wales Island]], a crescent moon-shaped island. Ash's excited to think about what kind of rare [[Pokémon]] will be on this remote island.
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|the others}} continue their journey, this time stopping at [[Wales Island]], a crescent moon-shaped island. Ash and {{an|May}} can't wait to stop and do more training for their next battles.


On the beach, {{an|May}} is training {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} for the next {{pkmn|Contest}}, trying to teach it {{m|Petal Dance}}. Meanwhile, Ash is doing some {{pkmn|training}} of his own, trying to make {{AP|Pikachu}} strongerHe commands Pikachu to hit a log floating in the ocean with its {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack. The attack lands and flips the log up into the air, where Pikachu is ordered to use {{m|Iron Tail}} to chop it in half. After Pikachu lands, May happily exclaims that Bulbasaur has learned Petal Dance. She decides to show Ash, so she has her {{t|Grass}} Pokémon use the [[Move|attack]] on an incoming tidal wave. The Petal Dance tears right through the wave, cutting a giant circular hole out of the wall of water.  
On the beach, May and Ash immediately begin their training, with Ash having {{AP|Pikachu}} practice some of its attacks on a floating logSoon, May happily exclaims that her {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} has finally learned {{m|Petal Dance}}. Sure enough, Bulbasaur is able to use the move to slice a hole through an incoming wave.


Meanwhile, Max is out by himself gathering firewood in the forest. Suddenly, he spots a {{p|Cradily}}. The Pokémon runs off as Max sits, flabbergasted. Ash and the others arrive on the scene, and Max informs them of what he just saw. After May looks it up on her [[Pokédex]], Brock says that Cradily is supposed to be [[Fossil|extinct]]. As Ash looks for the Pokémon, May suggests that maybe he mistook a different Pokémon for Cradily. Suddenly, a {{p|Breloom}} appears, and everyone assumes that this is what Max saw. Max insists that he really saw a Cradily and runs off, anxious to prove them wrong.
Meanwhile, [[Max]] is out by himself gathering firewood in the forest when spots a {{p|Cradily}}. Max screams and the Pokemon runs off.  Hearing the scream, the others come running and Max explains what he saw. {{an|Brock}} says that Cradily is supposed to be extinct. As Ash looks for the Pokémon, May suggests that maybe he mistook it for another Pokemon. Suddenly, a {{p|Breloom}} appears, and everyone assumes that this is what Max saw.  


Max is searching in the forest when he comes across a huge mansion! He approaches the grounds and peeks through the window, discovering that the mansion has a laboratory inside! Through the window, he's also able to see a bunch of {{p|Lileep}}, the [[Evolution|pre-evolved]] form of Cradily! Suddenly, a man in a lab coat appears behind Max and angrily asks him what he's doing there.
Max insists that he really saw a Cradily and runs off, anxious to prove them wrong.  As he explores the forest, Max comes across a mansion with what appears to be a laboratory insideThrough the window, he's also able to see that there are many {{p|Lileep}} inside, which are the [[Evolution|pre-evolved]] form of CradilySuddenly Max is caught by a man in a lab coat.


Ash and the others are still out in the forest, looking for Max. Suddenly, Cradily appears in front of our heroes! As Ash and the others realize that Max wasn't as crazy as they thought, a young female in a lab coat appears and happily hug the ancient Pokémon, happy that it's OK. As Brock does his usual “fall for a beautiful girl” routine, the girl introduces herself as [[Annie Proctor]]. Ash and the others ask if she's seen Max, and the woman responds that if he's anywhere, he would have found his way to the lab where she works.
As Ash and the others look for Max in the forest, a {{p|Cradily}} appears behind them! A woman in a lab coat quickly follows it, and Brock falls madly in love. The woman introduces herself as [[Annie Proctor]], and ask what they're doing in the forest. {{Ash}} and {{an|May}} explain what happened, and Annie thinks Max probably ended up at the laboratory.


Everyone is taken to the lab, where Max is waiting. May and Max share a hug while the man in the lab coat from before appears. His name's [[Professor Proctor]], and he's studying at the lab with his wife, Annie. Brock cries about the fact that Annie's already spoken for, while May looks Lileep up on the Pokédex. She then tells Professor Proctor that she thought that Lileep and Cradily were supposed to be extinct, and Annie says that the Pokémon came from fossils. The young Trainers eagerly ask Professor Proctor to explain how they made the fossil Pokémon came to lifeMeanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] is spying on the doctor from the top of a tree.  
Everyone is taken to the lab, where Max is waiting with [[Professor Proctor]], Annie's husband. Brock is crushed to find out she's married.  There they see the Lileep, and May wonders how they could be there since they're supposed to be extinct.  Annie and Prof. Proctor explain that the Pokémon were cloned from fossils, and the gang are eager to learn moreOutside, [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] spy on everyone and listen in.


Professor Proctor starts his explanation. Many many years ago, when all these fossil Pokémon were still alive, the {{p|Anorith}} who lived on a remote peninsula used to eat a special fruit. Over time, however, the land changed, and the peninsula gradually broke off into its own island, the island that's now known as [[Izabe Island]]. Professor Proctor then explains that they were able to extract Lileep from the [[Claw and Root Fossils|Root Fossil]], while Anorith was extracted from a [[Claw and Root Fossils|Claw Fossil]]. Professor Proctor thinks that he'll be famous for the work he's done with the ancient Pokémon, but Annie tells the kids that they haven't made any official announcement to the scientific world at the moment.  
Professor Proctor begins to explain that when they were alive, {{p|Lileep}}, {{p|Cradily}}, {{p|Anorith}}, and {{p|Armaldo}} lived on a peninsula, that has since broken off to become an [[Wales Island]]. Once the land was isolated, the Pokemon became extinct. They also found nearby fossils of fruit that are believed to be their main source of food. Professor Proctor then explains that they were able to extract Lileep from the [[Claw and Root Fossils|Root Fossil]], while Anorith was extracted from a [[Claw and Root Fossils|Claw Fossil]]. Professor Proctor thinks that he'll be famous for the work he's done with the ancient Pokémon, but Annie tells the kids that they haven't made any official announcement to the scientific world at the moment.  Outside, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} begin plotting to steal the Pokemon.


Outside, Team Rocket is plotting to steal the fossil Pokémon. They plot something about how {{an|Giovanni|the Boss}} will be in the jungle with the Pokémon, and then for some reason he rips his clothes off to reveal a loincloth. As he swings on a vine {{wp|Tarzan}}-style ({{MTR}} even does a Tarzan yell for the Boss), they imagine the Boss flipping through the air, diving toward a waterfall as {{p|Aerodactyl}} fly beside him.  
Back in the lab, Annie exclaims that an {{p|Anorith}} is ready to evolve, so the gang gathers to watch. After its successful evolution into an {{p|Armaldo}}, a net appears and grabs Armaldo.  Team Rocket begin to gleefully reel in their catch, but Armaldo uses {{m|Metal Claw}} to break free of the net and uses {{m|Water Gun}} on Team Rocket, breaking them through the wall of the lab and blasting them off again.  Unfortunately Armaldo is enraged and turns its Water Gun on Ash and the rest of the lab before storming outside.


Back in the lab, it's time for another experiment! A cylinder with an Anorith in it rises from the ground and opens up. As either May or Ash looks up the Pokémon in the Pokédex, Annie says that the Pokémon is ready to evolve! After it evolves into {{p|Armaldo}}, Ash looks it up in his Pokédex. Professor Proctor and Annie seem happy, but their celebration ends soon when a net thrown by Team Rocket lands on the Armaldo! They start to pull the Pokémon in, but Armaldo responds with an {{m|Metal Claw}} attack. It breaks free of the net and uses {{m|Water Gun}} on Team Rocket, breaking them through the wall of the lab and blasting them off again. Suddenly, Armaldo turns on Ash and aims a Water Gun at the young {{pkmn|Trainer}}! Ash dodges as the fossil Pokémon starts going on a rampage, breaking every computer in the lab! The Pokémon then runs out the hole made by Team Rocket and starts running.
Ash and the others begin to give chase into the forest, confused as to why Armaldo turned on them.  They soon find Armaldo chewing on some fruit, unable to find any it likes.  When they try to convince it to come back to the lab, it launches another Water Gun, which everyone is able to dodge.  {{AP|Pikachu}} tries to explain things to Armaldo, and the group decide that maybe having Pokemon of the same type talk to it would help.  So since May's {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and Brock's {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} share Armaldo's {{type2|Bug}} traits, they are sent out to talk.


In the forest, we see Ash and the others running after Armaldo in the forest. Far ahead, Armaldo is seen eating apples from a tree, looking disappointed, and spitting them out. Soon, Ash and the others catch up. They ask Armaldo to return to the lab, but the Pokémon responds by firing a Water Gun at them. Everyone dodges the attack and runs behind a bush, where they wonder what to do.
The talks fail, however, when Armaldo uses {{m|Metal Claw}} attack on the Pokémon. They're all able to dogde, but Ash decides to try battling it, and calls on his {{AP|Corphish}} and orders it to use {{m|Crabhammer}} on Armaldo. Armaldo merely swats Corphish away. Meanwhile the Professor notes Armaldo's dislike of the nearby fruit. Corphish recovers and uses {{m|BubbleBeam}}, but Armaldo counters it with a Water Gun attack and succeeds in blasting through Corphish's attack and ending the battle.  As Ash tends to Corphish, Armaldo uses Metal Claw to burrow into the ground and escape.


Suddenly, Pikachu jumps in front of the Armaldo and begins talking to it. The group is happy that Pikachu is trying to talk things out, so they decide to all send their {{type2|Bug}} out to talk to it (since Armaldo itself is part Bug). May releases her {{TP|May|Beautifly}} while Brock releases his {{TP|Brock|Forretress}}, and the two Bug-Types join Pikachu in trying to calm Armaldo down. The talks fail, however, when Armaldo uses Metal Claw attack on the Pokémon. They're all able to dodge, and as they assess the situation Armaldo takes another apple, bites into it, and spits it out. As Professor Proctor takes notice of this behavior, Ash calls on his {{AP|Corphish}} and orders it to use {{m|Crabhammer}} on Armaldo. However, it's ineffective as the fossil Pokémon merely swats Corphish away like some sort of insect. Corphish recovers and uses {{m|BubbleBeam}}, but Armaldo counters it with a Water Gun attack. The two attacks collide and a battle of strength occurs, but Armaldo's Water Gun proves to be more powerful. It blasts through Corphish's BubbleBeam attack and hits Corphish, causing it to [[fainting|faint]]. The Pokémon then uses its Metal Claw attack to burrow underground, disappearing from the battle site.
As May wonders if {{p|Armaldo}} is looking for something, [[Professor Proctor]] theorizes that it is looking for the fruit the species ate when the island was still a peninsula. Today, the berries only exist at the very tip of the crescent-shaped island.
 
As everyone recovers from their failed attempts, Professor Proctor figures out why Armaldo is so upset—it's looking for food. It wants the special berries that used to grow during the days when the island was a peninsula, but now those berries aren't as plentiful anymore. However, they can still be found on the island, but now they're restricted to the top point of the crescent-shaped island. So, everyone decides to head toward the berries.


At the edge of the island, Armaldo arrives, as does Ash and the gang. However, it's grabbed by a {{TP|Team Rocket|Team Rocket mecha|mechas}} before it gets a chance to eat! The mecha is a tank-type machine with arms, and it's supposed to be super-strong. After Team Rocket says {{TP|Team Rocket|their motto|mottos}}, Meowth says that they should go back to the lab to grab the Lileep there, so the tank-mecha makes its way to the lab. Professor Proctor doesn't give up, though, and he chases the tank until he's close enough to jump on the back. The Armaldo inside hears the thud created by Professor Proctor's landing and tries to {{m|scratch}} its way out of its container, but [[James]] (who's with the others in a cockpit separated from the containment area) repeats that the mecha was built to be super strong. Outside, Professor Proctor tries to talk to Armaldo. Unfortunately for him, James notices that they have a stowaway, so he drives erratically in order to shake the doctor off. Professor Proctor still clings on, so James has the mecha's arms grab him and toss him off the mecha. The doctor lands with a thud in front of Ash and the others, who are trying their best to keep up with the mecha.
