Back in Masara Town, Satoshi and friends visit the Xanadu Nursery on an errand for Hanako.

Professor Oak shows up and reveals that is is fake and they find out Team Rocket are the ones who sold it. Brock says that he will catch them for Florinda, who has fallen in love with him. Meanwhile, Team Rocket sneak into the nursery to steal plants
