After continuing their onslaught in the White Ruins, Team Plasma's plan starts to take shape. With Athena & Concordia returning, being worried about N, they try to stop Team Plasma. However, their Pokémon soon succumb to Team Plasma's control. Soon after, the Light Stone glows and Reshiram is awakened, but before it has a chance to help against Team Plasma, Colress is ordered by Ghetsis to use the manipulation machine on it to gain control. With Reshiram attacking everywhere, things look bleak. Meanwhile, Ash & co. try to escape after being captured, but Colress decides that he needs Pikachu. As he goes to control it with his machine, Meowth appears, with Team Rocket and Looker, and blocks it...

As they begin their travels through the Decolora Islands, the boat stops off at Honey Island, a place that is world famous for making the special Honeymitsu honey gathered by the Pokémon on the island, specifically Combee. As part of a lottery, Ash wins an All-You-Can-Eat buffet offering over 150 different kinds of treats. However, the lottery soon seems to have turned into a trap when Team Rocket appear. While fighting them off, Pikachu accidentally causes a swarm of Beedrill to appear who then attack, separating everyone into different directions. Will they be able to find eachother?
