A Pokémon Fortune Telling book turns out to be a Team Rocket plot to steal Pokémon from local trainers with a fake daycare center. The engineers of this plot, though, are not the Team Rocket regulars, but by the formidable Butch and Cassidy.

* BaitAndSwitch: Before seeing her fortune in the book, Misty fantasizes about getting some sort of cute or elegant Pokémon as her type, before seeing it to be Gyarados and getting agitated. When Jessie gets her hands on it and begins doing the same, viewers would expect her to get something just as insulting. Instead, she's pleasantly surprised to find that she's an "Eevee" type.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Butch and Cassidy's operation would have gone off without a hitch had they not written two entries in the fortune book that would draw in the Team Rocket trio and Ash's group into the fold: Gyarados for Misty (which enrages her enough to storm their Daycare) and Moltres for James (which gives him a huge confidence boost to [[EvilVsEvil raid the Daycare for the stolen Pokémon]]). To be fair, they wouldn't have known these two's birthdays but still.
Added DiffLines:
* SeriousBusiness: Misty treats her fortune reading of being Gyarados to be an unforgivable crime, the point that her primary objective at the Daycare Center is to punish Butch and Cassidy for this entry, with freeing the Pokémon being a secondary concern.
