This episode is essential viewing because: Misty catches a Corsola.

Ash, Misty and Brock are arriving at Yellow Rock Isle. As they are walking around, Misty notices that the rocks are actually yellow. They stop at a shop, and notice the pretty ornaments and jewellry there. The shop-keeper says that they are made out of Corsola. He explains that Corsola often shed the skin on their horns. He turns them into things to sell in his shop. The shop-keeper admires Pikachu, and says that all of the islanders adore yellow Pokemon. Misty sends out her yellow Pokemon: Psyduck. Psyduck starts to wander off and everyone follows. Psyduck wanders onto the beach and points out to sea. There's a floating house! There's a girl and a Corsola 'on board', and it's drifting towards a whirlpool! The gang realize that they need to help, and see a boat near them. They get in and start to chase after the house. Ash sends out Bulbasaur and Bayleef, and tells them to use Vine Whip. They grab hold of the boat and pull it back to shore.

On the shore, two people, a male and female say thank-you for rescuing their house and Mika, the girl. The female is Mika's big sister and the male is their father. Brock falls in love with the women, named Andrea, and yet again Misty has to pull him off by the ear. Andrea and her dad say that they live on a bunch of Corsola. The gang are confused so Andrea explains that actually live on top of a Corsola nest. It's a tradition on Yellow Rock Isle to do so. As their dad works with Corsola horns making things, it's easy to collect them. Misty admires the Corsola. Andrea says that that Corsola just appeared one day, and it's very different from all of the others. It has a lot more energy, and it keeps tackling the other Corsola. All the other Corsola had had enough and ran away. Without the Corsola, the foundations of the house broke. The Corsola had tried to pull the house back, but it wasn't strong enough.

As they are talking, the Corsola speaks to Pikachu and then goes to tackle it. Pikachu steps out the way, and Corsola hits Psyduck. Misty realizes that the Corsola must be a wild one, and goes to capture it. Brock takes the opportunity to pull Misty off by the ear. They all agree to help look for the missing Corsola.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket are breaking into a shop. Meowth says that this is their 500th break-in. James does a bit of working out, and realizes that Meowth is right. They all slide down on ropes (apart from James who falls off). They walk around and find a lot of Corsola jewellry. Jesse finds a crown. She goes into a daze and decides that her true calling is as a Queen. James and Meowth are filling up their sacks with Corsola jewellry. They tell Jesse to hurry up. Just as Jesse finishes, the shop-keeper enters, and sees that they are thieves. He chases them outside, where Team Rocket bump into 'the twerps'. The shop-keeper tells them to give all the stuff back, but they refuse. The Corsola tackles Jesse to the floor, much to her horror. Team Rocket send out Victreebel (which tries to eat James), and Arbok. Ash and Misty send out Totodile and Staryu. Staryu tackles Victreebel. Totodile tries to bite Arbok, but misses and just headbutts it. Victreebel uses Razor Leaf , but misses Staryu. Staryu uses Rapid Spin on Victreebel. Then Totodile and Staryu both use Water Gun, making Team Rocket drop all of their sacks full of jewellry, and sends them 'Blasting Off Again!'. The shop-keeper picks up his goods and thanks the gang for their help.

The gang go searching in a nearby forest. They are calling out lots of different names belonging to the Corsola. Mika explains that the Corsola are all 'part of the family'. They so find the first one. Misty decides to catch the wild Corsola, but Brock pulls her off by the ear again. They start to search by the sea, and find another one. They soon return back to the forest where they left some food, and sure enough they find another two Corsola.

Meanwhile Team Rocket are watching them from a nearby tree. They decide to capture all of the Corsola for 'the boss'. Then they all start to dream about becoming heroes. As if.

Ash sends Noctowl out, and Noctowl finds another two Corsola. They return back home and count up all the Corsola. They're all there. Suddenly, lots of plungers fall down from the sky. They all capture all the Corsola, except for the wild one which Misty protects. Team Rocket pull up all the Corsola from their balloon. They say their motto, and announce that the Corsola belong to them now. Ash sends out Noctowl to pierce the balloon, but James sends out Wheezing and tells it to use Smokescreen. Noctowl chokes and Team Rocket start to escape, but Noctowl soon flies up and pierces the balloon. Team Rocket descend to the ground, and the gang run after them. The Corsola tackles Jesse again. Misty sends out Staryu, and has it use Rapid Spin, to cut all of the Corsola free. Jesse and James send out Arbok and Victreebel (Victreebel does the old joke which is really getting old now). All of the Corsola start to tackle Arbok, so Victreebel aims a Razor Leaf at them. Arbok wraps Staryu, so the Corsola tackle it again, and Staryu breaks free. Victreebel uses Vine Whip and hits a Corsola, knocking it out. It suddenly starts to glow, and becomes healthy again. Brock explains that it must of used Recover. Misty is totally amazed, and really wants that Corsola now. Then all of the Corsola group together and use Spike Cannon at Team Rocket. They all run and hide behind the balloon, but a Spike Cannon hits the engine. There is a big explosion, and Team Rocket go flying. They realize that this the 500th time that they have 'Blasted Off', and leave us with a 'Happy Anniversary!'

Misty decides that this is the time to capture that wild Corsola. She sends out Poliwhirl to battle. Firstly, Poliwhirl uses Bubble, but Corsola fights back with a Tackle. Poliwhirl uses Double Slap, and knocks Corsola out. Poliwhirl looks pleased with itself, until Corsola uses Recover. Poliwhirl uses Water Gun, but Corsola uses Mirror Coat and the water shoots right back at Poliwhirl. Poliwhirl uses Bubble, and Corsola Tackles back. Poliwhirl uses Doubleslap, quickly followed by a Tackle. Before Corsola can use Recover, Misty throws her Lure Ball and......... catches the Corsola!

Ash, Misty and Brock are heading off, and wave goodbye to Mika and her family. Mika shouts to Misty to take good care of her Corsola. Misty says that she will, after all it's 'part of the family now!'
