Solana uses her device to capture an Altaria. She succeeds and orders the Altaria to lead the flock, to which it does. Solana says the Rangers detected some unusual geomagnetic force and she was sent to investigate. She captured the Altaria and ordered it to lead the flock because they use the geomagnetic force, otherwise they'd be hurt. This force also affects the devices and Electric-type Pokémon. Still, Solana's device worked because the devices are sealed so they are not affected by such forces. Pikachu senses something - from a portal in the sky, a Deoxys appears. The Deoxys looks upon Max and Max had a sudden vision, then the Deoxys disappeared back into the portal. Solana tells them to go to the Pokémon Center.

At the Center, Max pulls Brock's ear for flirting. Solana asks Joy if the computers are working, with Joy replying that because of the geomagnetic force, the computers do not work. Since Deoxys came, Solana believes that the troubles were caused by it - the geomagnetic force problem started a week ago. Deoxys, however, appeared long before - Deoxys was spotted in a town and one professor told it came from a meteorite that fell on a mountain, though that event happened 10 years ago. Now, Solana needs to find the meteorite, so Joy goes to get the map. Max wants to come, but May and Solana think it would be best for anyone to stay while Solana goes to investigate. Joy gives Solana the map and Team Rocket hear these things. Meowth agrees it would be best to give the Deoxys to the boss, who would ride it in space. So, Team Rocket follow Solana.

Solana came to a cave and demands Max (who was hiding in a bush) to come out. The heroes come as well, bickering why they didn't stay in the Center.

The heroes and Solana go into the cave and Team Rocket follow as well, even if James feels something is wrong. Brock suddenly spots that the geomagnetic force became normal - Ash's Pikachu and Solana's Plusle feel better. Solana thinks this is a temporary. Max tells them to speed up and sees a lone Miltank. Solana captures Miltank - she thinks Miltank will help them in the investigation. They arrive to the meteorite spot. Max calls Deoxys, but Brock tells him Deoxys does not know his name. Max asks if Solana is sure that Deoxys is causing the geomagnetic disturbance, as he feels something else is happening.

Synopsis

Our heroes spot a confused flock of Pokémon and realize something isn't right, especially once an unusual aurora appears in the sky and their Poké Balls and PokéNav stop working! That's when they spot Solana, the Pokémon Ranger, who helps get the Pokémon going in the right direction. She explains that the Rangers have detected strange geomagnetic activity, and just then, the group sees a Deoxys in the sky! Could it be the source of the disturbance?

With Nurse Joy's help, Solana reasons that Deoxys may be connected to an old meteorite that crashed nearby. Solana goes to investigate alone—at least, that's what she thinks. Team Rocket wants Deoxys for the boss, and they secretly follow her to the meteorite cave. So does Max and the rest of the crew! Solana reluctantly lets Ash and company tag along. Inside the cave, she finds a Miltank and captures it because it may help them with Deoxys.

Once they find the meteorite, Deoxys emerges. It's in pain and is clearly hostile to them, but Solana can't capture it to calm it down unless it's in Normal Forme. She has Miltank use Heal Bell to soothe Deoxys' pain, but it still won't be captured. Team Rocket reveal themselves, but Max and Meowth are getting strange impressions from Deoxys so both of them try to talk to it. Deoxys possesses Meowth and uses it to communicate with Max, but this backfires when Deoxys vanishes into a strange dimension and decides to take both Max and Meowth with it![1]
