Summary: Our heroes are laying down in the grass on a full moon, chowing down and admiring nature when they see a shooting star. They all make a very predictable wish, until the star zooms back looking like a UFO, ALIENS! Phanpy walks to look at it and Cleffa falls from the saucer right onto our favorite baby elephant. Our heroes vow to bring Cleffa back to the ship while Team Rocket plans to steal Cleffa. Meanwhile, a random pair called the PMC (Pokemon Mystery Club), their names are Ken and Mary. Our heroes think they may be acting as the PMC and actually be Team Rocket, to which the PMC says Team Rocket are a bunch of idiots. PMC tries to steal Cleffa, but Phanpy picks it up and runs into the woods before Pikachu bolts the PMC and our heroes follow Phanpy. PMC pulls out a tracker to find Cleffa, and then assembles a tractor to plow through the forest. They find Cleffa and corner Phanpy at a cliff, but Phanpy uses Headbutt to down a tree and walk across, what a trooper. PMC is in pursuit but Team Rocket screws with their plans, only to be harpooned and plunged back to earth. Our heroes cross the tree but worry that Phanpy fell. They keep following the trail with Pikachu leading them right to the ship. They find the ship and see a bunch of dismayed Clefairy. Team Rocket uses an electric shield-Meowth grabber to get the fairy Pokemon, but now they have our heroes and the PMC against them. PMC constructs another device, the Tri-tipped dual-gripped Mashing Monster, a mano-i-mano battle. The Clefairy use the PMC parts to construct their space ship but their ship still won’t work, so PMC and Team Rocket work together to get the fairies. Pikachu shocks them and the ship, while Phanpy uses Rollout to send both teams flying. The ship takes off and Phanpy has to say goodbye to Cleffa … what a sad moment, until it evolves into Clefairy to be able to fly away. I’m not crying, you are… What an (inter)stellar ending.
Best Trainer/Pokémon: Phanpy, what a good friend with great instincts.
Worst Trainer/Pokémon: PMC, they have a lot of toys and aerobic stances but not many positive results.
One thing I learned: Phanpy has grown up quite a lot.
Who is that Pokémon?: Voltorb, meh but I used Electrode in a Pokemon Red playthrough and it was clutch.
Best Quote: “PMC” – Ken and Mary doing a whole routine.
Best Scene: Phanpy saying goodbye to Cleffa… heartbreaking.
