This episode begins with Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu heading for Mt. Moon. Then they hear someone screaming for help! They run to see a man in a lab coat being attacked by Zubat! Ash has Pikachu shock them and they fly back into the cave. The guy introduces himself as Seymour the Scientist.
They go inside the cave, and Seymour shows them that someone has strung up lights throughout the cave, confusing all the Pokemon. Seymore says some stuff about the Moon Stone and how he believes all Pokemon are from space and came here on the Moon Stone. Then, a Clefairy skips by! Ash is about to catch it, but Seymour says it is better to leave it here. The Clefairy turns a corner, then it screams! Er, sort of.
The others rush after it, to see it cornered by ! Team Rocket appears and say their lines. Ash sends Butterfree and Brock sends a Zubat he caught before they went into the cave. Team Rocket sends Koffing and Ekans. Misty and Seymour have to watch Clefairy. Zubat and Butterfree use Whirlwind and blow Team Rocket out of the cave.
Meanwhile Clefairy is running away. Misty and Seymour rush to catch up. They all tumble into a stream, then Meowth appears! Misty sends out Staryu and it beats Meowth.
They all stop for a break. Brock feeds the Pokemon some of his special Pokemon food. Pikachu and Clefairy have a conversation, and then Clefairy jumps away. They all follow.
Clefairy leads them to another cave. They go inside, to see the Moonstone, surrounded by a ring of smaller stones. Clefairy puts the stone it was carrying in the ring, and the Moonstone begins to glow. Suddenly, dozens of Clefairy come, and start dancing around the Moonstone. Pikachu tells them, after some difficulty with translation, that the Clefairy pray to the Moonstone.
Then Team Rocket appears again. Ash and Brock fight them, but it was all a trick so Team Rocket could sneak off with the Moonstone. Brock has Onix follow them underground. Ash, Misty and Brock rush out. Seymour explains to the Clefairy that it iss their responsibilty to get the Moonstone back, because it is sacred to them.
Meanwhile, Jessie, James and Meowth are sliding down Mt. Moon on the Moonstone, but Onix blasts out of the ground in front of them. They hit it and James has Koffing attack. They're both knocked out.
Dozens of Clefairy pop out of the hole where Onix came out, along with Seymour. They all face Team Rocket and start waving their fingers and saying Clefairy. Seymour says that they are going to use their Metronome attack and he has never seen it before. Then, all the Clefairy stop, and start glowing. The ground cracks and a beam of light shoots up. Team Rocket, the Clefairy, and the Moonstone are blasted up. All the Clefairy land unharmed.
The Moonstone was shattered and all the shards falls to earth. Some of them touch some of the Clefairy, evolving them into Clefable!
Seymour says he is going to stay with the Clefairy and Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu continue to Cerulean City.
On a sign they see on the way, a message is written: Gary was here! Ash is a loser!
Ash rushes ahead, trying to catch up with Gary.
