Meanwhile, Giovanni is in his office trying to think of any ideas for world domination, but his grown too bored and depressed because of it, suddenly the phone rings and Giovanni angrily grabs it and states, "WHAT IS IT?! Huh, oh you three again, mmhmm, yes, Pikachu, eh? You don't s-" Suddenly, he snaps outloud, "PIKACHU AGAIN?! WHERE AT?!" Then the scene cuts to him getting into his car speeding fast enough to confront Jessie, James and Meowth.

Team Rocket are at a warehouse, where they put Pikachu in a cage, so they can show Giovanni, who suddenly interrupts their plan abruptly slamming the doors open shouting, "JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH!", they are exited to see Giovanni as they await their congrats from him, only for him to angrily backhand them offscreen, which causes Pikachu to flinch, as they were sent backward to the ground, meanwhile, Ash silently sneaks in to secretly save Pikachu to get into the ventilation shafts. Back with Jessie, James and Meowth, rubbing red marks on their cheeks and don't understand why their master is angrily talking to them like that, and Giovanni states, "Of all the screw-ups you pull, what do you think I care?", while Meowth grabs a blueprint showing Pikachu as a electronic device as Meowth explains how Pikachu will use it to drain the energy of every Pokemon Center and they would swipe them, and that Giovanni would say, "This Pikachu is exactly what I need, and I owe it all to Jessie, James and Meowth", only for Giovanni to grab the blueprint from Meowth and swat it across his head offscreen snapping him out of his imagination, "EXCEPT WHEN YOU IMAGINE WHAT I'D THINK, do you want to know what I'd really say? I'd say such nonsense" and ripping the blue prints in anger and starts losing it, and Jessie, James and Meowth flee from the angry man trying to protect themselves from a axe to defend themselves as they try to ask him to calm down, Giovanni angrily scolds them and reminds them 10 years ago that what he had to do when Team Rocket screws up and fails miserably.

Then Team Rocket gets the memo that they were fired from a letter from the late Giovanni, as they were shocked that this is not Giovanni who then was shocked by Pikachu's Thunderbotl destroying his disguise, After that he quotes, "The Real Giovanni died at the explosion caused by Mewtwo", as he grabs the axe and pushes them out the glass window sending them to the Rift for their incompetence, and the Utrom/ fake Giovanni joined them reluctantly.

Ash having got the thought of his father, over and over again, decides to take a break on his dream of being a Pokemon master, so he gains help from his friends Misty, Brock, Tracey, May, Max, Dawn, Iris, Cilan, Serena, Bonnie and Clemont into finding his father and answers about that mysterious rift that consumed Team Rocket, leaving everyone to doubt Jessie, James and Meowth died, as they search for answers, Misty, May,and Iris except Dawn then question question if Ash was the real one or an Avatar created by the Rift. Meanwhile Bonnie asks a girl to become Clemont's future bride, who overreacts and grabs Bonnie from doing the same thing, while Brock butts in and ask the girl to be his future bride, only to get punched in the stomach by Crogunk, and being dragged away by Misty and Max, and Tracey and Cilan suggest talking with Ash on how he knows his friends for too long and how they've known him, Ash states it's been a long time and decides to spend one more time with them while finding answers on his father.

They finally reach their destination in the place where Team Rocket vanished with the fake Giovanni, they all try to discover a way to open the Rift, as they use Rift Artifacts called "Spectral Metals, and then they entered the Rift, where they see that it is a world of Imagination and Power, as Ash asks where his father, suddenly Utroms show up as did the fake Giovanni, who takes Cynatron into custody and imprisons him, and Jessie and James were placed in a lab called Lab U.T.U.M.N.O., and like the real Ash (since the one in the Pokemon world was a duplicate to deceive the world.

10 years later, Ash has been mutated by Val Khan into a Mewtwo where he is ordered to take out a Military base Val Khan tried to use the remote on him, but a foot crushed the Controller, and Ash was freed, plus a mysterious Dragon Figure removes the Game Spider where the controller can gain Ash. Ash then realizes that Dawn who has been turned into Jinx, busts Ash out of U.T.U.M.N.O. (Ultimate Testing of Ultra Mutegens in National Operation), Then they reach a Car which James who was transformed into the Joker then drives Ash with all the friends from the Beginning out and into the world of New Avalon.
