A preview of the last episode plays with them being trapped in a cyclone. Let's see what happens now.
Ash, Misty, and Brock find themselves stranded on an island. Ash wakes Misty up and Brock soon gets up. Then Ash notices that all of his Pokémon are gone. Meanwhile, on another part of the same island, a Krabby walks along and pinches James's leg which wakes him up. Jessie also wakes up. They too realize that their Pokémon are gone. They then find a phone booth, but they have no money. Then on another part of the same island, Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander wake up. They walk along the island looking for Ash. Squirtle thinks that wild Pokémon ate them. The other Pokémon don't think so. Bulbasaur suggests that maybe Ash abandoned them, but Pikachu says that Ash would never do that.
Ekans, Koffing, and Meowth are watching the other Pokémon. Meowth says that he can now get his revenge and he orders Ekans and Koffing to attack. They don't attack and they say that Meowth isn't their master. They also say that they do bad things because their masters are bad. Soon Charmander, Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Pikachu tie Meowth up.
When the Pokémon start to eat, Meowth begs for some food but since he didn't apologized to them, he doesn't get any. A big Rhydon comes and Pikachu unties Meowth.
Meanwhile, Ash, Misty, and Brock are being chased by a Zapdos. They soon find shelter and the Zapdos leaves.
Then, Jessie and James are being chased by Moltres. They crash and hide behind a sign and the Moltres flies away.
During the night, the Pokémon find a buffet and start to eat. Ekans and Koffing are crying and Bulbasaur and Squirtle are talking.
The Pokémon wake up the next morning. Ash plans on looking for the Pokémon now that it's bright outside. Jessie and James head into the telephone booth and Jessie calls the boss. They do their motto and their boss hangs up. They then start to pull the cable as they realize that it must lead to some place.
The Pokémon and Ash, Misty, & Brock trry to find each other but they have no luck. Jessie and James are pulling the cable when they see a Pikachu wawlking by. They think that it's a mirage. They soon see the Pikachu being over 50 feet tall and "Bigachu" smashes tthe telephone booth.
Ash and co. then see an oversized Charizard. It sshoots out a Flamethrowewr and they run for cover. Meanwhile, the Pokémon see a gigantic Blastoise. Squirtle goes and talks to it but the Blastoises fires a Hydro Pump at them. The Pokémon also sees a Venusaur passing by. Jessie and James are running from a Kabutops. The see a rail cart and hop in it. They pull the lever and it starts moving backwards. The cable gets caught on Kabutops's leg. Ash and the others see the gigantic Pikachu. The bridge soon crumbles and breaks and they land in the same cart with Jessie and James. The PIkachu also gets caught in the cable.
Misty then points out the Pokémon. The Pokémon call out for them as they are being chased by the gigantic Pokémon. Ash tells them to hit the brake but James says that the brake is broken. They see a loop and go on it. Ash tells the Pokémon to jump in and they all do. All the Pokémon are caught on the cable and the cable snaps sending the cart in the air. The cart crashes into the Zapdos and it breaks. The Zapdos then falls on the other Pokémon destroying them. The cart lands in the water.
