Ash and his friends are travelling through a stormy area when they come across a beautiful greenhouse owned by a woman named Florinda. She invites them in and gives them all hot tea to warm up. When they ask her about the greenhouse, Florinda explains that she's trying to breed the perfect Pokemon for her garden, but is having trouble with her experiments due to the bad weather.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is also travelling through the storm, hoping to find a warm place to hide. They stumble across Florinda's greenhouse and decide to take shelter there as well. They are amazed by the variety of rare and exotic Pokemon in the greenhouse and begin to hatch a plan to steal them all.
As Ash and his friends help Florinda with her experiments, they begin to notice that the Pokemon in the greenhouse are acting strange. They seem to be agitated and unsettled. Suddenly, a huge bolt of lightning strikes the greenhouse, causing a power outage. The group is plunged into darkness, and they hear strange noises coming from the Pokemon cages.
The group realizes that the Pokemon are frightened and need to be calmed down. They use their Pokemon to soothe the agitated creatures and manage to restore power to the greenhouse. However, Team Rocket has already hatched their plan and they attempt to steal the Pokemon. It's up to Ash and his friends to stop them and protect Florinda's precious garden.
The episode ends with the group saying goodbye to Florinda and her Pokemon, promising to visit her again soon. They continue on their journey, eager to discover what other adventures await them on their quest to become the world's best Pokemon trainers.
