Template:Incomplete synopsisAsh and friends are running to catch the last ferry off of Cinnabar Island, and just as they are approaching the ferry, they collide with a Wartortle, it was running to find help for its leader, Blastoise. Wartortle and Ash's Squirtle, with the Squirtle Squad sunglasses, swim to the Squirtle Island. They find everyone on the island asleep, including Blastoise. Ash and Squirtle check out Blastoise, and hear a strange noise which puts them to sleep. Pikachu manages to wake them all up, and then they try to wake up Blastoise. It eventually wakes up on its own, when the strange noise stops. Squirtle then notices something stuck in one of Blastoise's hydro cannons. It is squishy and pink, and then its ear sticks out. Then the noise starts again and everyone falls asleep.
Team Rocket intrude on the island, hoping to catch Blastoise, but Meowth, the one who went to get Blastoise, falls asleep. Jessie and James wake him up, and throw him back. They then use their Gyarados grabber. They successfully escape, until they hear the noise coming out of Blastoise's shell. They begin to sink into the water but all the Squirtle and Wartortle save them. Back on the island, Team Rocket chase the Squirtle and Wartortle around, and so Ash's Squirtle and Pikachu try to wake up Blastoise. They succeed, and guess what pops out? It's Jigglypuff! And Jigglypuff is blown away into the Mecha Gyarados. Blastoise successfully drives off Team Rocket, except Jigglypuff is still inside, luckily Jigglypuff is blasted out and lands on the island. Jigglypuff sings, everyone sleeps, everyone gets scribbled on. Misty is annoyed because the marker scribbling makes her look like a cartoon character. Ash breaks the fourth wall by chiming in, "Like that could ever happen!". In the end, Ash and co. finally leave.
When Wartortle is attempting to tell Pikachu what's happened, Pikachu appears to not understand, and summons Squirtle from its Pokeball to help. This is a contradiction to other episodes, most notably Island of the Giant Pokemon, where all Pokemon are able to understand each other.
