She is going to release Staryu, but Psyduck comes out instead. She groans as Ash laughs. Misty flashes back to when she first got Psyduck.

Hypno's Naptime

She and her friends are walking through HopHopHop Town when they see an Officer Jenny. She tells them that there are children who have gone missing three days ago. Ash immediately declares them on the job. They head off toward the Pokémon Center and see Nurse Joy. They see other Pokémon behind her and ask what is wrong. She tells them that the Pokémon became sick three days ago. They realize that is the same time the children went missing. Misty then spies a Psyduck lying with the other Pokémon. She is not impressed, and neither is Ash. Officer Jenny says that there has been an increase in sleep waves being admitted from the town. Nurse Joy says that it couldn't be her Pokémon and Officer Jenny says it isn't, and they follow her out of the center to a mansion. Walking inside they see many people wearing fancy dresses and skirts. Walking over to one guy, they ask him what is going on. They find out that this is the Pokémon Lovers Club. They are having trouble sleeping so they are having a Hypno admit sleep waves. Misty walks over to it and begins to act like a Seel. Ash and Brock are horrified and Misty runs off. She leads them to a place where the missing children are, all acting like a Pokémon. They take them back and have Drowzee cure them. Going back to the center, all the Pokémon are better except the Psyduck. Brock volunteers to care for it to impress Nurse Joy. Heading out Brock says that Misty would be a better trainer for it. Misty declines then trips and an empty Poké Ball lands next to Psyduck. It hits the ball with its beak and it opens, capturing Psyduck.

The Ninja-Poké Showdown

Ash is battling Koga at the Fuchsia Gym for the Soul Badge. Suddenly the ceiling caves in as Jessie and James appear. Team Rocket recites their motto and then Meowth pounces in front of Koga and says that they are there to steal the Poison-type Pokémon. Jessie and James release their Arbok and Weezing as Ash lets out Charmander.
