| − | Ash and his friends are continuing their journey when suddenly Team Rocket shows up once more, and they try to tell Ash that the chest belonged to James. Ash and friends assume it is a lie, but Brock says that if it did belong to James, then he would know how to open it. James tries to open the chest, but he can't remember how. He tries different passwords, and when he tries for the third time, the chests looks like it is opening, but it's really the security system. James tells them to run, but a cannon comes out of the lid and sends Team Rocket blasting off. When they land, James suddenly remembers what was inside the chest, but he won't tell Jessie or Meowth. He becomes determined to stop anyone finding out what was inside the chest. |

| − | Meanwhile, Ash and his friends are admiring a huge, impressive-looking mansion, when suddenly the gates open and a butler comes running out of the building to take the chest, which he says belongs to master James. He proves it is James's by showing the gang a picture on the bottom of the chest which James did of his Pokémon Growlie when he was a little boy. The butler gets very emotional at the thought of James returning, and starts to look for him in the bushes and trees. Ash and Brock tell Dawn that James came from a very rich family, and that the huge mansion was probably one of his family's summer estates. |
||
| + | Team Rocket come to the twerps and James claims that it is his chest. Though they doubt him, they ask of him to open the chest if it is his. James attempts to unlock it and says a pass code. He attempts this twice and soon a security decide activates, as it fires and blasts Team Rocket off. After another blast off, James remembers that inside the chest is something that must not be shown and promises to get it back before it opens.

As Ash is about to reveal the location of the chest, Sebastian goes to the door and finds Jessibelle (which is Jessie) with two of her men (which are James and Meowth). Jessibelle asks to get the chest, as James wants it back. Meowth orders Ash to get it, although quite rude. When they are to give the chest back, Growlie, James' pet, comes and recognizes James, trips over him and licks, revealing his disguise. |

Sebastian offer a meal to Ash and his friends as a thank you for finding master James's treasure chest, and while the gang are tucking in, Sebastian asks them where they found the chest. Before they can answer, the doorbell rings. It is Jessie, disguised as Jessiebelle, and Meowth and James disguised as her servants. Jessie says that she has just come to pick up the treasure chest for James, who had returned and was marrying her after all. Sebastian begins to cry with happiness, and Meowth orders Ash to fetch the chest. Everything is going well for James, but then suddenly his old Pokémon Growlie wanders out, and recognizes James even through his disguise. Growlie jumps onto James to say hello, and knocks the disguise off. Even though James is scared that has been found out, he is pleased to see his old Pokémon again. Sebastian is overjoyed to see James, but he quickly sends out a Spinarak which he tells to use String Shot on James so he can be handed over to his parents and marry Jessiebelle. James sends out his Mime Jr. which uses Teeter Dance, which allows James to send Sebastian and Spinarak down a hidden trap door into a dungeon. James takes the chest from Ash, and when asked by Dawn and Jessie, he tells them what is inside the chest. |

One night, James and Growlie were away from a ball and saw a young lady. James introduced himself and the lady walks away, but said she was Jessibelle, a girl James had a crush on. Later, James wrote a letter, proposing marriage to Jessibelle. His parents were present and gave him a chest, where he could've stored his letter he wrote. Also, he was invited to Jessibelle's house. |

| − | James tells them about how, when he was very little, he was tired of all the formal balls his parents hosted, and on the night of one of these parties he met Jessiebelle on a balcony. He fell in love with her right away, even though he only knew her name. He didn't realize the meeting had been planned by his parents. That night he wrote a love letter to Jessiebelle, asking her to marry him. He thought how embarrassing it would be if anyone other than her read the note, and just then his parents, who had been listening to him, handed him the treasure chest, which was handmade by his father. They also told him that he would be going to Jessiebelle's house the next night, and he should tell her how he feels. The next night, before James got a chance to ask Jessiebelle to marry him, she said yes, and that it has already been arranged by their parents. She demanded that he gets a Skitty to replace his Growlithe, but James refused to part with his best friend, and ran out of the house. He told Growlie use Dig, and buried the chest so no-one will find it. |
||
| + | When he came, Jessibelle knew he was to propose her and agreed to. She only asked to get rid of Growlithe, his pet, and get a Skitty instead. James refused, as Growlie was his partner, to which Jessibelle told that now she is his partner. James ran away from Jessibelle's house and Growlie dug a hole so James stored the chest. The heroes do not understand, as it is an ordinary letter, but James suspects Jessibelle could force him to marry her with that. Suddenly, the security alarm rings, as Jessibelle and her army of bodyguards arrive and surround the house (as Sebastian told her James is in the mansion). Sebastian shows Jessibelle the way where James went to; through the escape tunnel. |
||
| − | The flash-back ends, and James says that if Jessiebelle was to find the letter, she would see it as a marriage certificate, and he would have to spend the rest of his life with her. Suddenly, the security systems go off... it is Jessiebelle, she is making her way to the mansion along with hundreds of guards. The guards surround the building, so James can't escape. James realizes Sebastian must have called her. James says that he has a secret passageway they can escape through. At the same time, Jessiebelle enters the mansion, where she is greeted by Sebastian, who jumps up through the floor. He leads her to the secret passageway, where Ash, Dawn, Brock, Jessie, James and Meowth are all running from her. James tells everyone to hurry up, and Dawn says that she can't see what any of it has to do with them. James reminds them that none of it would have happened if Ash hadn't dug the chest up in the first place, so they should help him escape. They see Jessiebelle and Sebastian running close behind them, and quickly get to the end of the tunnel, trapping Jessiebelle and Sebastian inside. Ash and Brock tell James to run while he has the chance, but James says that he has to dispose of the letter first, and he unsuccessfully tries to guess the password again. This time the chest transforms into a huge and scary looking robot, but really it is only a foot tall. It shoots at Team Rocket, but Growlie uses Flamethrower and stops the laser. James gets Growlie to attack the chest, and once Growlie has used Flamethrower, Dig, then one last Flamethrower, the robot turns back into a chest, which then turns into a tiny rocket and flies away. |
||
| + | The heroes do not understand why are they involved; James clarifies they found the chest. James tries to open it, but fails. They run away as soon as they find Sebastian and Jessibelle going towards them. As they come out, Brock and Ash put the rocks to barricade the way. Team Rocket try to open the chest and the security device activates and fires, but Growlithe uses Flamethrower to negate it. Seeing no option, James decides to destroy the chest as well - Growlie uses Flamethrower, but no effect is made, as Growlie gets hit by a missile from the chest. Growlie continues to fight, as it digs out and uses Flamethrower. The security system is disabled, as the chest turns into a rocket and goes in the sky. |
||
| − | Inside the tunnel, Jessiebelle gets her Vileplume to use SolarBeam, which breaks down the door. Jessiebelle tells James that all the arrangements for the wedding have been made, and James says that he gives up, and just wants to say goodbye to his friends before he goes to get married, but James asks Ash to use Thunderbolt. Ash agrees, and Pikachu sends Team Rocket blasting off. James is happy to have escaped, but suddenly realizes that it is not Jessie who has blasted off with them, its Jessiebelle! Jessie lands on her own, surrounded by Jessiebelle's guards, who mistake her for Jessiebelle. |
||
| + | As Sebastian failed to open the door, Jessibelle sends Vileplume, who uses Solarbeam and crashes through the door. Sebastian tells James to make the right decision, so James goes to say goodbye. James asks of Ash to order Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, as he does not want Jessibelle's marriage. Jessie and Meowth demand to know why would they blast off, so James tells they are a team that sticks together. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Jessibelle runs towards James. James waves goodbye to Growlie, but sees Jessibelle is blasted too, as Jessie got on Jessibelle's couch.

Plot
Piplup is about to use BubbleBeam on Monferno as a part of training of Ash and Dawn. Monferno digs and gets his fingers hurt, as it dug out something. It is a treasure chest, but a locked one. Team Rocket also see the chest and plan to take it. As the heroes are to bring it to Officer Jenny, Team Rocket come as pirates and Jessie attempts to take the chest. Seeing how it is not easy, they undisguse themselves and soon blast off by Pikachu. After the blast-off, James realizes it is his chest, when he buried it as a child. He does not remember what it is inside; either toys, bottle caps or money.
Team Rocket come to the twerps and James claims that it is his chest. Though they doubt him, they ask of him to open the chest if it is his. James attempts to unlock it and says a pass code. He attempts this twice and soon a security decide activates, as it fires and blasts Team Rocket off. After another blast off, James remembers that inside the chest is something that must not be shown and promises to get it back before it opens. The heroes come to an estate and a butler comes and recognizes the chest. He shows the painting of Growlithe under the chest and calls after James. Ash and Brock explain to Dawn James' family is quite rich, surprising her.
James sees the heroes are at his mansion. He begs Jessie and Meowth to get the chest, otherwise Jessibelle, her fianceé, will come and force him to marry her. Jessie and Meowth regretfully join his plan to get the chest. The butler, Sebastian, gives the heroes some food for the recovery of the chest.
