Jessie, James and Meowth are thanking Giovanni for their new mission after they broke contact with him. Later, Ash, Misty and Brock are heading to the blimp which Misty starting to wonder due to the blimp's appearance that it is save to fly in there. Ash tells Misty that it is save to fly in there. Two workers then appears and one of them evenly asks them if they are going to ride with the blimp. Misty asks then more about the blimp, which the workers explains the history of it. They are then getting pushed aside by Jessie and James in disguise and is taking them inside the blimp. Once inside the blimp, Ash and his friends are in shocked after seeing the quality of the blimp. Ash almost falls away from the blimp after the floor broke but got saved by Misty and Brock.
 
  +
Brock sees the Valentia Island in his guide book and thinks of girls. However, he knows they need to find means of transport to get there. Misty wants only to get a tan once they get there. Ash comes out of a store, with his hands full of groceries, thinking it will last for weeks, as it takes a month to get there by foot. Brock read if a blimp is used, it will take a day only. Ash wishes they had money to rent a blimp. They hear a pair of men talking a winner of the lottery can win prizes, including a blimp to Valentia Island. Ash thinks this is an opportunity, though Misty does not believe he will win. However, Ash got the main prize; the flight to Valentia Island.
   
  +
Team Rocket contact Giovanni, who had them transfered to a blimp brigade, clarifying only specials are sent. Team Rocket are honored and are told not to fail him. Team Rocket think Giovanni has put faith in them, finally trusting them, but Giovanni knows these blimps have only their insurace policy ensured, nothing else. The heroes see the giant blimp. Misty notices it is old, but Ash assures her there is nothing wrong. A pair of men heard them and tell them stories are the blimp is haunted. Suddenly, Team Rocket, as the blimp's hosts, appear and push the heroes to the blimp, telling there are no ghosts on that blimp. After the heroes (and Team Rocket) boarded the ship, Jigglypuff appears and sees a lever as a microphone podest. Jigglypuff jumps on it, but accidentally pushes it, causing the blimp to go up, as Jigglypuff gets entangled by a rope and goes with the blimp.
During dinner, the blimps starts to lose control of balance which they are Ash and his friends are wondering which person is controlling the blimp. After Jessie and James are asking Meowth about it, Meowth tells them that he has no idea either. Meowth then tells them that the blimp is flying on itself which all three are looking shocked and are heading to the control room. They see that nobody is controlling the blimp. After that the blimp has been flying out of hand, Ash and his friends has discovered Team Rocket is behind all the trouble. During the battle with Team Rocket, the blimp has been heavily damaged and Misty is trying to save Togepi. After Team Rocket has been fallen from the blimp, Ash and his friends are trying to control the blimp so that they can land save on Valencia Island. After a lot of tries, Ash and his friends didn't land safe but more crashed down to the airport of Valencia Island.
 
  +
  +
The heroes enter a room, but see it is not a first class. Ash hears a cracking sound and suddenly falls down, hanging. Misty and Brock pull him up and Jessie appears, thinking they are relaxing. James comes and tells dinner is ready. Brock notices the soup is cold, so James replies it is a recipe. The blimp turns down, so Jessie and James are asked who is driving this blimp. Seeing how they don't have answers, they go to Meowth. Meowth tells he is cooking, but knows that nobody is driving this blimp. Realizing what he said, Team Rocket go to the control room. They argue who gets to drive, but nobody knows, so Meowth follows the instructions in the manual. He reads that the blimp has two tanks, which need to be in balance, so if one loses water, the other must do so as well.
  +
  +
James pulls a lever and lets the water out. Though the blimp is balanced, the water is poured on Jigglypuff, who goes up. However, the blimp becomes unstable, so Team Rocket attempt to maintain the balance. The heroes are also having trouble, as they go from one end to the other. After some time, the tanks are balanced and the blimp becomes stable. However, James notices a storm is approaching and attempts to let more water out to get above the storm, but the tanks are empty, so Jigglypuff enters one of the tanks. Meowth sees the big red button is the only hope - it lets the gas out and will cause the blimp to fall in water. However, Jessie and James do not want that, as they would disappoint Giovanni. Still, they think the boss wouldn't think of it if they bring Pikachu to him.
  +
  +
The heroes are feeling dazed a bit, but Misty notices Togepi is gone. The heroes search for Togepi, but have no luck, while Jigglypuff entered the blimp. Jigglypuff sees a candle and imagines it is a microphone, but when goes to it, Jigglypuff ets wrapped by the table cloth. The heroes enter a gloomy hall, as they did not look into this part. The heroes saw something and go in that direction. They spot Jigglypuff covered in cloth and mistake it to be the ghost the men were telling about and run away. Team Rocket look for the twerps and Meowth believes they became invisible, like ghosts. Jessie gets angry and clarifies him she does not want to have any more gibberish from him. Meowth points behind them and Team Rocket run away, mistaking Jigglypuff as a ghost. Finally, Jigglypuff gets rid of the cloth.
  +
  +
Ash advises to get off the blimp. Brock reminds him they are too high, while Misty does not want to leave without Togepi. Team Rocket appear and want Pikachu, as Arbok and Weezing are sent out. Arbok goes to bite, but Pikachu uses Thundershock, though it causes everyone to be electrocuted. Misty wants Ash that electric attacks could blow the blimp up, so Brock sends Geodude. Geodude throws Weezing out of the blimp. Weezing comes back, but the blimp tears itself apart. Misty notices Togepi on an iron beam, so the heroes are going after it. Jessie and James are depressed, while Meowth encourages them to get up and fight. Misty goes up, so Ash sends Bulbasaur to keep Misty balance when she walks on the iron beam.
  +
  +
Jessie and James notice that when they are busy, they can get Pikachu. However, nobody wants to go on the beam, so Meowth climbs it, making Jessie and James impressed. The blimp passed the storm, so Meowth gets blinded by the light and hangs on the beam, making panic. Misty goes to get Togepi, telling it not to move. Suddenly Jigglypuff appears to sing a song, but the blimp rattles, causing it to fall down, along with Team Rocket. Meowth uses a part of the blimp to make a parachute. Unfortunately, Jigglypuff sings the song, causing them to fall down in sea sleepy. Misty got Togepi and tells it never to wander like that again. Suddenly, the gas leaks from the tanks, so Brock advises to let every Pokémon out. Ash sees this could land the blimp down, so they send their Pokémon. However, Onix is too heavy, so Brock sends it back.
  +
  +
Brock believes they can land the blimp on an island. Ash and the Pokémon move towards the front of the blimp, though they cannot get the blimp balanced. With luck, they manage to land (although hard). The heroes are relieved they have done this part.

Per Oak's task, the heroes go to Valencia Island. With luck, Ash wins the trip using a blimp. With complications, their hosts of the blimp are Team Rocket, tasked by Giovanni as the blimp brigade. However, some tell the blimp is haunted by ghosts and worse yet, Team Rocket have no pilot, as the blimp goes through a storm...

Episode Plot

Brock sees the Valentia Island in his guide book and thinks of girls. However, he knows they need to find means of transport to get there. Misty wants only to get a tan once they get there. Ash comes out of a store, with his hands full of groceries, thinking it will last for weeks, as it takes a month to get there by foot. Brock read if a blimp is used, it will take a day only. Ash wishes they had money to rent a blimp. They hear a pair of men talking a winner of the lottery can win prizes, including a blimp to Valentia Island. Ash thinks this is an opportunity, though Misty does not believe he will win. However, Ash got the main prize; the flight to Valentia Island.

Team Rocket contact Giovanni, who had them transfered to a blimp brigade, clarifying only specials are sent. Team Rocket are honored and are told not to fail him. Team Rocket think Giovanni has put faith in them, finally trusting them, but Giovanni knows these blimps have only their insurace policy ensured, nothing else. The heroes see the giant blimp. Misty notices it is old, but Ash assures her there is nothing wrong. A pair of men heard them and tell them stories are the blimp is haunted. Suddenly, Team Rocket, as the blimp's hosts, appear and push the heroes to the blimp, telling there are no ghosts on that blimp. After the heroes (and Team Rocket) boarded the ship, Jigglypuff appears and sees a lever as a microphone podest. Jigglypuff jumps on it, but accidentally pushes it, causing the blimp to go up, as Jigglypuff gets entangled by a rope and goes with the blimp.
