A New Pokémon Ally!

Thanks to Drowzee's powers, the children wake up from their trance, and promptly return to their homes, none the worse for wear. Even the mom the gang met at the plaza reunites with her son, Arnold. The next stop is the Pokémon Center, where Joy awaits anxiously.

All the patients -including Pikachu- recover their health. All, that is, except Psyduck, who lives with a perpetual headache. Joy leaves Psyduck in Brock's hands, but the clumsy Pokémon chooses Misty as its trainer after she accidentally trips and her Pokéball catches it!

Psyduck joins the gang!

Team Rocket's Hang Gliders

Drowzee's sleepwaves successfully cure Misty of her hypnotic state and she is back to normal. Ash carries Drowzee on his shoulders and prepares to return to the park, but before hitting the elevator, three hang gliders land on the terrace... it's Team Rocket!

Jessie and James use whips to capture Hypno and Drowzee, but Misty's Staryu quickly comes to the rescue and saves them. Then, Ash's Pidgeotto uses a powerful wind blast to send the intruders blasting off. With the bad guys out of the way, everyone returns to the park.

Pokémon Lovers Club Headquarters

Jenny approaches the children, and realizes that all of them firmly believe they are Pokémon; not only that, they are acting the part! Kids behaving like Weedle, like Bulbasaur, like Gloom... even one splashing in the water thinking she is a Magikarp!

The leader of the Pokémon Lovers Club suggests using Drowzee's sleep waves to counteract Hypno's power and cure the children of their "Pokénitis." The group agrees to this plan, and they return to the penthouse mansion, bringing Misty with them.

Central Park

The investigators conclude that when Hypno started using its abilities on the socialites to help them rest, the sleep waves propagated all over town, stealing the Pokémon of their energy, and causing the children to run away from their homes.

To test this theory, Misty lets Hypno use its powers on her, and immediately, she is hypnotized into believing she is a Seel. Misty runs away from the mansion, and down the building to a nearby park. It's here where all the missing children are finally found!

Mansion on Top of a Building

Rather than a terrace, or even a penthouse, the group finds instead a luxurious mansion sitting on top of the building, adorned with lush gardens, fountains, and hedge mazes. Ash and Brock charge towards the immense double doors, revealing the interior of the manor.

A group of rich socialites calling themselves the "Pokémon Lovers Club" are gathered around a Drowzee and a Hypno. Suffering from insomnia due to their busy urban lives, the socialites have been relying on Hypno for the past three days to help them sleep at night.

Downtown HopHopHop

Officer Jenny tells the gang that her sleep wave detector started buzzing three days ago, right when the children disappeared and the Pokémon lost their energy. Now, the device takes the investigators to a skyscraper in the heart of town.

The detector shows that the source of the waves is somewhere on the top floor of the residential building, so the group takes an elevator. Expecting to find a simple rooftop terrace, the group is shocked by what they see when the elevator doors open.

Team Rocket's Sleep Wave Detector

As the gang and Officer Jenny decide to follow the readings of her portable detector, Pikachu is affected by the sleep waves, and loses all its energy. With even more reasons to solve this mystery, the investigators leave the Pokémon Center and head downtown.

Meanwhile, Jessie, James, and Meowth arrive in HopHopHop Town after tracking the strange sleep waves using an advanced, long-range detector. Their goal is to find the source, so they use it to put their boss Giovanni to sleep, and go on vacation while he snoozes.
