Template:Incomplete synopsis
In a Pokémon Center, Ash and his friends meet a boy with a camera named Robert when Ash pets Pikachu. He explains his dream of photographing Pokémon across the world. He is immediately interested in Pikachu, and takes photos while Iris, Cilan, and Ash look through his scrapbooks. They find a strange picture of Sawsbuck from all four seasons together, which was supposed to be impossible. Robert's grandfather was also a Pokémon photographer, and took the photo of the Sawsbuck, which was his most prized possession. Robert decided to find the very spot of the photo, and Ash and friends agree to go with him to help.
Robert explains to them that flowers found in the photo are only found on a certain mountain, and they set off to climb it. While on the mountain, a mysterious fog surrounds them. Ash and Robert get lost, and see a Deerling, which supposedly will lead them to the leader Sawsbuck. They start chasing it until Robert gets poisoned by an Amoonguss, with no Antidotes between them. They spend the night lost on the mountain, and Ash waits until daybreak. With Robert on his back, Ash starts to try to leave the mountain. The Deerling they saw before leads them to a summer Sawsbuck by a spring. Sawsbuck summons three other forms, which were the same Sawsbuck in the photo. A bright light starts shining from a nearby spring, and Robert is healed. As Robert tries to take a photo, they leave in the mysterious fog and he is left with a very blurry photograph.
The fog comes again and envelops Ash and Robert. Suddenly Iris and Cilan run up to them and question them. They find out that Ash and Robert were frozen in time, and that whatever happened to them is the only way to find the four Sawsbuck. As Robert departs, everything is well again.
Major events
For a list of all major events in the animated series, please see the history page.
This is the first time since A Night in the Nacrene City Museum! that a Pokémon from a previous generation, other than Pikachu, Persian or Meowth, have appeared in an episode. However they were only in pictures.
Due to the Team Rocket VS. Team Plasma episodes being delayed, this episode is the first one to feature a Liepard, although said Pokémon merely appears in a photograph.
Errors

When Robert showed Ash and his friends the photos of the Unova Pokémon, Herdier's cream fur near nose was half colored brown.
