== Synopsis ==
Preparing to depart for [[Valencia Island]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are at a grocery store picking up supplies for their trip. Ash suggests walking, but {{an|Brock}}'s guidebook says that it will only take a day traveling by [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|blimp]]. While the blimp arrives, two men sponsor a contest where the winner gets a prize just by showing their store receipt to them. Ash shows his receipt, and wins a trip on the blimp. Unknown to the kids, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] have received an assignment from {{an|Giovanni}} to operate the blimp.


Ash and the others reach the blimp yard, where they see a broken down blimp. Two men approach them and ask if they are riding the blimp. They then tell them the blimp is haunted and full of ghosts. At this point, Jessie and James enter the blimp.

==Plot==
As they prepare to depart for [[Valencia Island]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} pick up supplies at a grocery store. Ash suggests walking to the island, but {{an|Brock}}'s guidebook says that it will only take less than a day traveling by [[Air transportation in the Pokémon world#Blimps|blimp]]. While the blimp arrives, two men sponsor a contest where the winner gets a prize just by showing their store receipt to them. Ash shows his receipt and wins a free trip on the blimp, leaving his friends dumbfounded.  
 
Meanwhile, {{TRT}} receives an assignment from {{an|Giovanni}} to join the organization's Dirigible Brigade, and their duties include operating a blimp. Unbeknownst to them, it is a scheme to get rid of the trio, since Giovanni only maintained the blimp's insurance policy and not its integrity for decades.


Once on board, Ash and the others notice how broken down the blimp truly is. At the same time, {{MTR}} is fixing dinner, while Jessie and James act as waiters. During some turbulence, Ash complains about the ride. Jessie and James ask Meowth who's flying the blimp. They realize that nobody was flying the blimp. Realizing this, Jessie and James attempt to pilot the blimp, but instead fly it into a big storm.
Ash and the others reach the blimp yard and see a broken-down blimp. Two men approach them and warn that the blimp is haunted. [[Jessie]] and [[James]], [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] as an air hostess and pilot, respectively, push the engineers out of the way, and push the group on board. {{an|Jigglypuff}} appears and notices a lever that resembles a microphone. As it jumps to {{m|sing}} into it, it unexpectedly causes the ballast water to be released, and the blimp begins to soar into the sky. Jigglypuff finds its foot tangled in some rope and is also carried off.


Suddenly, {{an|Misty}} notices that {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} is missing. They set out to find it, while {{TRT}} starts looking for the twerps. When Ash and the others reach the inflated portion of the blimp, they encounter what they believe to be a ghost. As it turns out, the ghost is actually {{an|Jigglypuff}}.
Once on board, the group notices how deteriorated the blimp truly is. Meanwhile, {{MTR}} fixes dinner while Jessie and James act as waiters. When Ash complains about the ride, Jessie and James find out from Meowth that no one is flying the blimp. The pair desperately tries to commandeer the blimp, but they fly it into a big storm. Suddenly, {{an|Misty}} notices that {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} is missing. They set out to find it in the inflated portion of the blimp, where they encounter what they believe to be a ghost. However, it is actually revealed to be Jigglypuff covered in a white sheet.


Eventually, Ash and friends meet up with Team Rocket, and begin a [[Pokémon battle]]. At one point, [[Brock's Geodude]] throws [[James's Weezing]] through the blimp and it starts ripping apart. While this is happening, Misty finally spots Togepi on a high ledge. Ash uses {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to grab Togepi from the ledge. While trying to rescue Togepi, Team Rocket attempts to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}. Their plan is thwarted when the blimp hits a pocket of turbulence and they fall out of the blimp. Using fabric from the blimp, Meowth makes a parachute. However, Jigglypuff lands on top of it and starts to {{m|sing}}. They fall asleep, and Meowth lets go of the fabric, causing the trio to fall into the ocean.

Team Rocket takes the opportunity and attempts to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}, but their plan is thwarted when the blimp hits a pocket of turbulence, forcing them to fall out of the aircraft. Meowth makes a parachute from some of the blimp's fabric, but Jigglypuff lands on top of it and starts to Sing. The trio falls {{status|Sleep|asleep}}, and Meowth lets go of the fabric, causing the trio to fall into the ocean and drift away.


Now in control of the blimp, Ash and the others try to land it. Using their Pokémon, they are able to steer the blimp and crash land it on Valencia Island. Now safely on land, they continue to [[Professor Ivy]]'s lab to obtain the [[GS Ball]].

Blurb

Ash, Brock and Misty prepare for their long journey to Valencia Island to bring back a mysterious Poké Ball for Professor Oak. After discovering that the trip will take a month to get there, Ash manages to win a free blimp ride so it will take only a day! Once on board, they realize the blimp is being powered by Team Rocket! And things only get worse from there!

Plot

As they prepare to depart for Valencia Island, Ash and his friends pick up supplies at a grocery store. Ash suggests walking to the island, but Brock's guidebook says that it will only take less than a day traveling by blimp. While the blimp arrives, two men sponsor a contest where the winner gets a prize just by showing their store receipt to them. Ash shows his receipt and wins a free trip on the blimp, leaving his friends dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket receives an assignment from Giovanni to join the organization's Dirigible Brigade, and their duties include operating a blimp. Unbeknownst to them, it is a scheme to get rid of the trio, since Giovanni only maintained the blimp's insurance policy and not its integrity for decades.

Ash and the others reach the blimp yard and see a broken-down blimp. Two men approach them and warn that the blimp is haunted. Jessie and James, disguised as an air hostess and pilot, respectively, push the engineers out of the way, and push the group on board. Jigglypuff appears and notices a lever that resembles a microphone. As it jumps to sing into it, it unexpectedly causes the ballast water to be released, and the blimp begins to soar into the sky. Jigglypuff finds its foot tangled in some rope and is also carried off.

Once on board, the group notices how deteriorated the blimp truly is. Meanwhile, Meowth fixes dinner while Jessie and James act as waiters. When Ash complains about the ride, Jessie and James find out from Meowth that no one is flying the blimp. The pair desperately tries to commandeer the blimp, but they fly it into a big storm. Suddenly, Misty notices that Togepi is missing. They set out to find it in the inflated portion of the blimp, where they encounter what they believe to be a ghost. However, it is actually revealed to be Jigglypuff covered in a white sheet.

Eventually, Ash and his friends meet up with Team Rocket and begin a Pokémon battle. At one point, Brock's Geodude throws James's Weezing through the blimp, causing it to rip apart. Misty finally spots Togepi on a high ledge, so Ash has Bulbasaur try to grab it with its Vine Whips. Team Rocket takes the opportunity and attempts to steal Pikachu, but their plan is thwarted when the blimp hits a pocket of turbulence, forcing them to fall out of the aircraft. Meowth makes a parachute from some of the blimp's fabric, but Jigglypuff lands on top of it and starts to Sing. The trio falls asleep, and Meowth lets go of the fabric, causing the trio to fall into the ocean and drift away.

Ash and the others rush to take control the blimp and try to land it. Using their Pokémon as counterbalances, they are able to steer the blimp and crash-land it on Valencia Island. Now safely on land, they continue to Professor Ivy's lab to obtain the mysterious Poké Ball.
