Continuing their journey in the Orange Islands, Ash and friends stop at the Seven Grapefruit Islands, a small chain of islands known for grown tons of Grapefruit. When they try to pick them, a girl named Ruby appears and calls them thieves, and tries to stop them. However, it is just misunderstanding. When the real thief appears, they agree to help her, but that may be easier said then done when the thief is a very hungry Snorlax that can swim between islands!

Team Rocket has engine trouble and lands on an island where the natives are waiting for the "Great Meowth of Bounty" to arrive and fulfill an ancient prophecy. When Meowth gets mistaken for this great creature with special powers, he enjoys the special treatment and decides to play along. But, when he's unable to perform the ancient ritual that's expected of him, the treatment he gets becomes less and less enjoyable.
