Arriving at the port, Juniper buys Ash, Iris, and Cilan their tickets. Iris sees their ship, and the three are excited by its size. Meowth tells James to initiate their plan, and when Juniper emerges with the tickets, James, disguised as an elderly man, bumps into her, causing her to drop the tickets. He quickly switches the real tickets out with three fake ones, and Juniper walks over to give them to the kids. James tells Jessie that his part's done, and Ash, Cilan, and Iris thank Juniper as she returns to work.

Ash and Iris complain about how small, old, and uncomfortable their cabin is, but James tells them they're stuck with it. Cilan tells them to relax, it's really just old-world charm. James reminds them to remain in their cabin until the ship leaves port and leaves, the door locking behind him.

Synopsis

The episode opens with Ash riding on Reshiram, laughing happily. After asking if Reshiram can go faster, he's interrupted by Iris riding on Zekrom. Iris states that she and Zekrom challenge Ash, who is confused, and Zekrom launches a thunderbolt towards Ash, knocking him off of Reshiram and sending him plummeting.

Ash wakes up after hitting the ground, revealing that it was a dream. Iris states that Ash is finally awake, and Ash realizes that Pikachu had used Thunderbolt to wake him up, which Iris replies was her way to get him to wake up. Ash realizes that they're back in Nuvema Town, staying with Professor Juniper, and Iris tells him to hurry up and get dressed. The narrator makes a brief flashback and the theme song starts.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket informs Giovanni of their success in stopping Team Plasma, and Giovanni congratulates them. Pleased and excited, Jessie suggests that they prove themselves worthy of their praise by catching Pikachu and the other twerps, which Meowth and James agree to.

Back at Juniper's lab, Ash tells Juniper about his dream, saying it was awesome, except the weird ending. Iris, annoyed, states that it wasn't her fault he couldn't wake up. Cilan and Juniper remind Iris that Ash was exhausted, and Juniper then asks Ash what his next plan is. Ash decides to return to Kanto, shocking Iris, who then appears to think about something. Ash explains that he wants to tell Oak about his journey, and Juniper asks Cilan his plan. However, Cilan is interrupted by Iris, who decides to go with Ash, with confirmation from Axew, stating that she wants to learn more about Dragon-types from other regions.

Ash isn't sure, so Juniper suggests that they take a cruise through the Decalore Archipelago, where several rare Pokémon live. Ash, Iris, and Cilan decide to take the cruise, which Team Rocket overhear, and begin coming up with a plan.

Ash, Pikachu, and Oshawott tell Professor Oak the plan to return to Kanto by boat. Juniper decides to send Ash's Pokémon from Unova to Oak, and Muk shows his excitement about Ash returning by tackling Oak, and Oak hangs up to try to calm Muk down.

Arriving at the port, Juniper buys Ash, Iris, and Cilan their tickets. Iris sees their ship, and the three are excited by its size. Meowth tells James to initiate their plan, and when Juniper emerges with the tickets, James, disguised as an elderly man, bumps into her, causing her to drop the tickets. He quickly switches the real tickets out with three fake ones, and Juniper walks over to give them to the kids. James tells Jessie that his part's done, and Ash, Cilan, and Iris thank Juniper as she returns to work.

The three heroes head over to their ship, while Cilan reminds Ash that this is his and Iris's first time in Kanto. Cilan then gives Porter their tickets, but Porter informs them that the tickets don't match the ship. Bummed, the three try to find their actual ship. Jessie, disguised as a female Porter, approaches them and tells them that their tickets are for her ship. Excited, the kids follow Jessie to a smaller, old ship. Jessie informs Meowth that she completed her part of the plan as James gives the heroes a tour of the ship. Jessie explains that they have a relax-and-refresh-o-matic for their Pokémon, and a playroom for Pikachu and Axew. Ash, Iris, and Cilan give Jessie their Poké Balls and send Pikachu and Axew with her, while James leads them to their cabin. Jessie drops Oshawott, who emerges from his Poké Ball and runs off to find Ash.

Ash and Iris complain about how small, old, and uncomfortable their cabin is, but James tells them they're stuck with it. Cilan tells them to relax, it's really just old-world charm. James reminds them to remain in their cabin until the ship leaves port and leaves, the door locking behind him.

Pikachu, Axew, Jessie, and the other Pokémon arrive at the playroom/relax-and-refresh-o-matic, where Jessie tells them to enjoy their stay, also leaving as the door locks behind her.

As Oshawott continues to explore the ship, he finds his way to the pilot's room, where he overhears Jessie, James, and Meowth discuss their plan. Enraged, he continues to listen.

Iris tells Ash that she's going to check on Axew and the others, but when she tries to leave, the door is locked tight. Ash and Cilan attempt to help her, but they're unable to get it opened up.

Meanwhile, Axew has become bored with the playroom and attempt to return to his trainers, but finds that they have the same problem. Pikachu tries to help him, but to no avail.

Oshawott, finally annoyed when he finds out that Jessie and James plan to leave Ash, Cilan, and Iris floating in the ocean alone, attacks the three Team Rocket members, who try to catch him. He accidentally razor shells the button to unlock the doors, sending Iris flying as she was currently tugging on hers. The three decide to find their Pokémon.

Pikachu and Axew decide to free the Pokémon from the relax-and-refresh-o-matic before escaping, but are unable to get to the door. Pikachu decides to get Ash to help and runs off, Axew staying behind.

Cilan realizes that they're the only passengers on the ship, and Ash finds Oshawott's Poké Ball. Pikachu arrives to tell them about the others, and after he and Ash hug, he leads them back to the playroom. Cilan frees the Poké Balls, and the gang decide to escape the ship after they find Oshawott.

Meanwhile, Oshawott is about to get caught by Team Rocket, but Ash finds him and distracts the three villains long enough for Oshawott to run over to Ash to be protected. Team Rocket introduce themselves, shocking and annoying Ash, Iris, and Cilan, who remind them that they helped them earlier. Jessie, James, and Meowth reveal their scheme, but Oshawott had stopped them. Jessie and James send out Woobat and Amoonguss while Iris sends out Excadrill. Cilan warns them not to battle on board, but the others ignore them as Pikachu uses Iron Tail, which Woobat dodges.

Trivia

Meowth's ear error
  • This episode marks Giovanni's first appearance since leaving Unova in Unova's Survival Crisis! 26 episodes earlier.
  • The lettering on the magazine Ash reads in the cabin closely resembles the English alphabet.
  • This is the first time the Team Rocket trio has received credit and praise directly from Giovanni — in this case, for defeating Team Plasma. Previously, messages of praise were conveyed to them through other agents, Pierce or Matori.

Errors

  • In a shot of the water rising through the ship, Meowth's ears are colored cream like the rest of his body instead of black.
  • When meeting Porter for the first time, Ash addresses him by his Japanese name, Parker. Closed-captions of the scene call him by Porter, meaning that Ash's line was recorded before the change from Parker to Porter was finalized.
