Ep 28. The Light Fantastic

Ash, Misty, and Brock arrive in a small town and notice that the local lighthouse is abandoned. They meet a young boy named Marcellus who tells them about the lighthouse's history and how the people in the town are afraid of the light that comes from it. When asked to investigate, the trio discovers that a mysterious Pokemon named Ampharos is responsible for the strange light. Ash decides that they are going to catch Ampharos and as they prepare to do so, they are confronted by the town's mayor who insists that they leave the Pokemon alone.

While exploring the lighthouse grounds, the group discovers that the light comes from the electricity generated by the movement of Ampharos' wool. As they try to catch it, Ash and his friends realize that Marcellus is using the Pokemon to power the town's electrical grid. They learn, to their surprise, that the town's electricity supply had stopped working sometime ago and Ampharos's electricity charges the town's power grid.

Marcellus and the town's mayor had not wanted Ash and his friends to catch the Pokemon because they would be unable to restore power to the town. However, Team Rocket appears and tries to capture Ampharos for their own personal gain. After a battle with Team Rocket, Ash and his friends are able to capture Ampharos. The trio convinces Marcellus that there are other ways to generate power and they offer to help restore the lighthouse's functions through the use of wind turbines.

In the end, the town's electricity supply is restored thanks to Ash and his friends, who use the lighthouse's power to generate electricity and lift the town's spirits through a dance and music celebration. Marcellus promises that the town will take care of Ampharos and no longer rely solely on its power to generate electricity.
