Plot
Morty reflects on his words to Ethan before their Gym battle, believing that he would be the one to make the Legendary Pokémon spoken of in Ecruteak City's legends appear, as he watches Ethan and Silver battle with their Typhlosion and Ho-Oh. He guesses he just has not trained enough to be worthy of Ho-Oh's respect yet and walks away in resignation.
Later, in the mountains, Morty is training his senses by having his Drifblim hide itself in the shadows and locating it without opening his eyes. His Gengar, Banette, and Mismagius interrupt him to make sure he does not overwork himself, and he thanks them for their support. While walking back, he notices something sparkling on the ground and picks it up. It looks like a Ho-Oh feather, so he decides to return it to Silver. He finds Silver is talking to Ethan, Kris, and Lyra in the village and gives the feather to him, but Silver says the feather didn't come from his Ho-Oh. As Morty wonders where it came from, they suddenly overhear a Rising Star bragging about her own Ho-Oh feather.
After the Rising Star finishes talking to her friends, she is approached by Morty and the kids, who want to see her Ho-Oh feather too. Silver says that her feather is not from his Ho-Oh either, so Kris wonders if it is a feather from a different Pokémon. The girl insists that it is a Ho-Oh feather and runs off. Lyra and Ethan wonder if that means a different Ho-Oh has come to Pasio. Morty declares that if there is even a chance he could meet Ho-Oh, he has to take it, so he goes to search for this other Ho-Oh. Lyra and Ethan volunteer to help him look, but Silver and Kris are skeptical, so they each leave to do some investigating on their own. In town, Silver's Sneasel finds the Rising Star with the Ho-Oh feather, and Silver approaches her.
Morty guides Ethan and Lyra to the spot in the forest where he found his Ho-Oh feather. He tells them how much he wants to meet Ho-Oh and all the other Legendary Pokémon in the Johto region, and how he has been training all his life to become a truly powerful Trainer that is worthy of meeting a Legendary Pokémon. There were times he felt it was just too hard, but thanks to the support of his Ghost-type Pokémon, it has become a good memory instead of a hardship. He plans to keep training until he discovers a new future for himself. This gets Lyra and Ethan pumped up to help him find Ho-Oh. Meanwhile, Kris consults reference materials about Ho-Oh in Professor Oak's lab. After leaving the lab, she runs into Silver and the Rising Star from before. Silver comments that she looks like she found something out, too, so they compare notes. Lyra, Ethan, and Morty return to the village, having had no success in their search. They hear a commotion nearby, where they find a bunch of people with Ho-Oh feathers arguing over which of them is going to find Ho-Oh. Morty recognizes that something strange is going on, and Silver, Kris, and the Rising Star show up to confirm his suspicions: the feather the girl had was a fake that she bought from Team Rocket.
Lyra guesses that the other people with Ho-Oh feathers were scammed by Team Rocket, and Morty says that he wants to go find the people who did this and put a stop to it. Ethan, Lyra, Kris, and Silver all agree to help him out. Morty is especially agitated that Team Rocket would toy with people's hearts, giving them Ho-Oh feathers and then crushing their dreams and aspirations when they find out the feathers are fake. He finds a group of Team Rocket grunts selling fake feathers and comes at them with his whole team, defeating them soundly. When they refuse to promise that they will never engage in such deception again, he is about to drive the lesson a little further home when Silver shows up to reign him in. The grunts flee as soon as they see Silver's Ho-Oh, and Morty returns his team. Silver notes that he was being uncharacteristically aggressive with them and wonders if it is because he couldn't stand what they were doing or because it involved Ho-Oh, and Morty says that it was a bit of both. Just then, Kris, Ethan, and Lyra show up and say that they took care of the other Team Rocket members selling fake feathers, and someone from the International Police is taking care of them. Silver tells Morty that he does not need a feather to meet Ho-Oh and leaves, but Morty decides to keep the feather he found anyways, as a reminder of his determination to meet Ho-Oh.
A few days later, as Morty begins his usual training, he senses another presence behind him, one that is not any of his Pokémon. He turns around and is shocked to see a Shiny Ho-Oh appear in front of him—his new future. As dawn arrives, Morty changes into his sygna suit and heads up the mountain to watch the sunrise with his new partner, Ho-Oh.

| Ethan | Wow, Silver! You and Ho-Oh have gotten so much stronger together! |
| Silver | Hmph. You haven’t seen anything yet. I'm just getting started. |

| Morty | Drifblim must be... There! All right! Next, I'll— No, you're right—I really shouldn't overdo it. I think I'll call it a day. Thanks so much for sticking with me through all of this, everyone. |
| (Transition to Morty walking through the forest, something on the ground sparkles) | |
| Morty | Hm? What was that just now? Is this...a Ho-Oh feather? |
| The next day... | |
| (Town) | |
| Morty | I hope Silver's around here somewhere... |
| Ethan | C'mon, Silver. Everyone else wants to battle against Ho-Oh, too! |
| Kris | It's such a strong and beautiful Pokémon. It's even spoken of in myths! As Pokémon Trainers, of course we want to battle it! |
| Lyra | Please! We just want you to show us how it behaves in battle! |
| Silver | Hmph... Just listen to you all prattle on... Why is everyone from Johto always like this? |
| Morty | Hey there! I'm glad I found you, Silver! I've got something I wanted to return to you. |
| Silver | To me? |
| Ethan | Whoa! Is that...a Ho-Oh feather?! |
| Morty | Yeah, I figured it must belong to Silver's Ho-Oh. |
| Silver | No... That's not from my Ho-Oh. |
| Morty | Really? Then where did this feather come from? |
| ??? | Look, everybody! A Ho-Oh feather! |
| Morty | Wha—?! |
| Rising Star | See, what do you think? Isn't it amazing?! |
- Traces of Ho-Oh
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Ace Trainer | Oh wow... I wish I had a Ho-Oh feather... |
| Rising Star | I know, right? In Johto, it's said that if you have one of these feathers, you'll be able to meet Ho-Oh! |
| Camper | Where exactly did you find such a precious thing? |
| Rising Star | Huh?! Umm... That's a secret. Anyway, uh, bye! |
| Morty | Hey, do you have a second? |
| Ethan | That's a Ho-Oh feather you've got, right? Could you please show it to us, too? |
| Rising Star | Wh-what do you want? |
| Lyra | Oh, sorry for popping up so suddenly. We didn't mean to startle you. |
| Silver | Yeah...that's definitely not from my Ho-Oh. |
| Kris | So maybe it's really a feather from a different Pokémon. |
| Rising Star | H-hey, don't just come up to me and start saying stuff like that! I swear, this is definitely a Ho-Oh feather! Probably! I mean...I think... |
| (The Rising Star leaves) | |
| Lyra | If that really is a Ho-Oh feather... and it's not from Silver's Ho-Oh... |
| Ethan | Then maybe a different Ho-Oh has come to Pasio! |
| Kris | You really think so? |
| Silver | ... ... ... |
| Morty | Another Ho-Oh on Pasio... |
| ??? | It's said that Legendary Pokémon will appear to the truly powerful Trainers. |
| Morty | If there's even a chance, then I have to try! I've just got to set my mind to it and go searching for Ho-Oh! |
| Lyra | And I'll help you! |
| Ethan | Let's all find Ho-Oh together! |
| Morty | Thank you both so much! |
| Silver | I'll pass. |
| Ethan | Huh? You won't come along with us? |
| Silver | The feather that girl had just now... There was something really suspicious about it. You can believe her if you want and go search for Ho-Oh. But don't get me involved. |
| Kris | I think...I agree with Silver. I'd like to do a little digging and see if what we just saw really was a Ho-Oh feather. |
| Lyra | You, too, Kris? |
| Kris | Sorry I can't go with you. I'll let you know if I find anything out! |
| Lyra | It looks like both of them want to be a bit more cautious about this. I was hoping they'd come along, but... Oh well. |
| Morty | It's fine. In fact, we may get even more information by splitting up like this. So let's do our part and start looking for Ho-Oh! |
| (Transition to Silver watching the Rising Star) | |
| Silver | How did it go, Sneasel? Yes... That's definitely the girl from before. |
| Rising Star | Aww... It looks so yummy... |
| Silver | What, you're not going to buy something? |
| Rising Star | Eep! |

| Ethan | You found the Ho-Oh feather somewhere around here, right? |
| Morty | Yes... I found it shining in the dark. At first, I could hardly believe it. That I actually had a Ho-Oh feather in my own hand... |
| Lyra | You've wanted to meet Ho-Oh that badly? |
| Morty | Not just Ho-Oh—all of the Legendary Pokémon in the Johto region. But yes. Legendary Pokémon will appear to truly powerful Trainers. That's a saying that's been passed down in Ecruteak City. I believe those words are true, and since the moment I was born, I've been training in secret. Thanks to that training, I can see things that others can't see, but... that training hasn’t been easy. |
| Lyra | Have you ever felt like it's just too hard? |
| Morty | If I'm honest with you, yes, lots of times. But thanks to my Ghost-type Pokémon always sticking with me... the training's become a really good memory, not just hardship. Although, saying it like that makes it sound like it's all in the past, when actually my training is still ongoing. And I'll keep it up until I discover a new future for me. |
| Lyra | Wow, that's impressive... |
| Ethan | Let's do this, Morty! We'll find Ho-Oh for sure! |
| Morty | Yes! I certainly intend to! |
| (Transition to Professor Bellis's Lab) | |
| Kris | I'll have to see it again to be sure, but I think that was... |
| Professor Oak | Hmm... |
| Kris | Thanks for the reference materials about Ho-Oh, Professor! They were really helpful! |
| Professor Oak | I'm glad to hear it! Feel free to come back anytime if you need anything. |
| (Transition to Silver with the Rising Star) | |
| Kris | Oh, Silver! And you from before! I'm so glad I found you! There's something I wanted to ask... |
| Silver | It seems like you've discovered something as well. Let's compare notes. |
| (Transition to Ethan, Lyra, and Morty in town) | |
| Lyra | We didn't find a single clue... |
| Ethan | I know—it's so frustrating! We've been searching high and low! |
| Morty | Well, that's the way it goes sometimes. It's not a Pokémon that can be found so easily. By the way, what’s all the commotion about? |
| Poké Fan | I'm the one who's gonna find Ho-Oh! |
| Hiker | Don't make me laugh! There's no possible way you could do it! |
| Pokémon Ranger | I already told you both—Ho-Oh is going to become MY partner Pokémon! |
| Lyra | Wh-what's going on? Every one of them has a Ho-Oh feather! |
| Ethan | Even though we searched so hard and couldn't find a single one! |
| Morty | Something's definitely strange here. Silver and Kris may have been right after all... |
| ??? | It certainly looks that way. |
| (Kris, Silver, and the Rising Star appear) | |
| Kris | About that Ho-Oh feather she had... It was a fake—a feather taken from a different bird Pokémon and dyed. |
| Lyra | Whaaa?! A fake?! |
| Silver | Now tell them where you got that feather. |
| Rising Star | I, uh... Actually...I bought it from Team Rocket. |
| Ethan | T-Team Rocket?! |
| Rising Star | I didn't know it was a fake... It was really expensive, but I spent all the cash I had on it because I thought I'd be able to meet Ho-Oh... |
| Morty | I see... So Team Rocket's been selling fake Ho-Oh feathers... |
- Into the Future
| Name | Text |

| Lyra | If Team Rocket is selling fake Ho-Oh feathers, does that mean... All of those people have been tricked as well?! |
| Hiker | I will! |
| Pokémon Ranger | No, I will! |
| Poké Fan | Nooo! I will catch Ho-Oh! |
| Morty | ... ... ... Right, then. Let's find the people who did this. Will you all help? |
| Ethan | Of course! |
| Kris | Let's catch them right away and put a stop to all this! |
| Morty | All those people truly believe that their feathers are genuine... Toying with their trusting hearts and stomping on their dreams and aspirations... It's unforgivable. |
| (Morty finds a group of Team Rocket grunts) | |
| Team Rocket Grunt (1) | Oh! How about you? Wouldn't you like one of these Ho-Oh feathers? |
| Team Rocket Grunt (2) | Right now, they're going for just one million apiece! Great deal, don't you think? |
| Morty | Ah... So you're the ones selling the fake Ho-Oh feathers. |
| Team Rocket Grunt (2) | Shoot! H-he knows they're fake! |
| Team Rocket Grunt (1) | Hmph. If he's on to us, there's only one thing we can do! |
| Team Rocket Grunt (3) | C'mon, everyone! Get him! |
| Morty | The trusting hearts of humans, as well as their dreams and aspirations... These things are worthy of respect. I won't just stand by and let you trample all over those precious thoughts and feelings! |
| (Morty battles and defeats the Team Rocket grunts) | |
| Team Rocket Grunt (1) | H-he's so strong! |
| Team Rocket Grunt (2) | This is...not good! |
| Team Rocket Grunt (3) | Urk! |
| Morty | Promise me now that you'll never deceive people like that again. |
| Team Rocket Grunt (1) | What're you talkin' about? It's easy money. Why would we ever give that up? |
| Morty | Then I suppose I'll have to drive this lesson a little further home. |
| (Silver appears) | |
| Silver | No, that's enough. It looks like those fakes of yours were actually of some use. Behold—the real Ho-Oh. |
| Team Rocket Grunt (3) | D-darn it! |
| Team Rocket Grunt (2) | We can't keep selling these if someone here's actually partnered with the real thing! |
| (The grunts leave) | |
| Silver | That wasn't like you at all. |
| Morty | You're right... I may have gotten a bit carried away. |
| Silver | Was it because of Ho-Oh? Or because you couldn't stand what Team Rocket was doing? |
| Morty | Probably...both. |
| (Ethan, Kris, and Lyra appear) | |
| Kris | We took care of the other Team Rocket members selling fake Ho-Oh feathers, too! |
| Ethan | That guy from the International Police told us to leave the rest to him. |
| Morty | I see... That's a relief. |
| Lyra | ... ... ... |
| Silver | You don't need a feather. |
| Morty | Huh? |
| Silver | After all, I didn't. |
| Morty | Thanks, Silver... |
| Ethan | They say Ho-Oh will reveal itself before a pure-hearted Trainer, right? I'm sure it's watching you from somewhere, Morty, and seeing your pure and strong feelings! |
| Morty | Maybe. I think I'll keep the feather I found yesterday as a memento. So I never forget my determination to meet Ho-Oh! |
| A few days later, as Morty began his usual training... | |
| (A Shiny Ho-Oh appears) | |
| Morty | ... ... ... Are you...my new future? |
| (Transition to Morty in his sygna suit and the Shiny Ho-Oh watching the sunrise on the mountain) | |
