Go To

Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu spot a dirigible and find it landing in a nearby airstrip. Two of the passengers aboard need help with their sick Kecleon, a Pokemon with the ability to turn invisible.

Tropes

  • Didn't Think This Through: Ash and Misty show off their Pokemon to Madison and Alexa. Brock, wanting to impress them, tries to show off Onix. Misty yells how releasing a massive Pokemon inside is a very stupid, causing Brock to whimper in dejection.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Kecleon, a Gen 3 Pokemon, makes it animated appearance here.
  • Kansas City Shuffle: To prevent Team Rocket from stealing their masters' jewelry box, the Green Kecleon keeps it in its mouth while the Purple Kecleon steals a medical kit of similar dimension to the box. At one point, Team Rocket catches the Purple Kecleon only find that it has the kit, and later on, the Trio come across the two Kecleon, who swap their with the other like a Shell Game to confuse the trio.
  • Noodle Incident: Madison and Alexa mention how their Kecleon are quite at playing hide and seek, as the two Pokémon once disappeared for a week and half and had to bring in the police to find them.
  • Saying Too Much: Team Rocket break into Madison and Alexa's room looking for things to steal and comes across their Jewelry Box, but the Green Kecleon snatches it in its mouth before the trio could take it. Just as Team Rocket is trying to pry the Kecleon open, a flight attendent comes across them and inquires if the Kecleon is fine, thinking that the trio is trying to help it, but Meowth lets it slip that they're trying to steal from the passengers, forcing the team to retreat.
