Fennel explains that pink mist is over the city, causing pokemon to fall asleep. Officer Jenny, having switched into the most butch haircut possible (and I’m really trying to stop making gay jokes but this show just makes it too easy), appears and orders all pokemon recalled into their pokeballs because of the mist. Ash protests, saying that Pikachu dislikes pokeballs. Huh. Okay. How about you, as a cop, just force him to because he's ten years old? No? Okay. Fine, Fennel has a solution, anyway.


Fennel thinks the key to solving this is in the remnants of the dream works, so she has Officer Jenny drive her there. Also, the heroes go with them because they have absolutely no involvement in this situation whatsoever. They all arrive and confront a disguised Team Rocket, asking what they're doing. Team Rocket admits they're conducting research on the energy here. Huh. How… villainous? I mean, yes, they activated Musharna and Musharna caused the pink mist to alert Fennel to come to the dream works to stop Team Rocket (this is explained), but that’s not really Team Rocket’s doing. Team Rocket’s not really doing anything villainous here, I have to say. I mean, if this area was dangerous, wouldn’t it be taped off or something?

Well, whatever. Musharna then teleports into existence from the Dream World or something, it’s never explained, because... it feels like this episode would be improved by a flying pig fetus, I guess. Team Rocket decides to do something actually villainous and kidnap Musharna for no reason, but fortunately, Pikachu easily defeats the harmless machine that is holding Musharna hostage but cannot otherwise defend itself, so Team Rocket just kind of leaves. Officer Jenny declares the case closed even though Team Rocket got away, thus showing that whether you’re in Japan or America, Officer Jenny is a terrible, terrible cop.

Team Rocket calls up Giovanni, who’s satisfied with their work. Huh. I… think that’s the first time that’s ever happened, actually.

Cilan, impressed by Pikachu’s ability to destroy stationary machines, asks to join Ash on his journey so that he can learn more about the pairing of pokemon and trainer. Iris appears again, and this time she decides to officially join Ash and Cilan for no reason. Ash and Cilan talk about their dreams, and ask Iris what hers are. Despite her dream of being a dragon trainer being ultra obvious, she refuses to say and the episode ends with laughter.

What a turd of an episode.
