As Ash and his friends are walking along a dirt path, Misty notices a flagpole with several wind cones modeled after a Gyarados, Goldeen, and Magikarp. At that moment, the group recognizes that it is Kids Day. Suddenly, a woman, Reiko, mistakes the trio for the Pokémon Trainers she has been expecting, though a phone call clarifies that the requested visitors will not be able to attend. However, after hearing how she wanted to do something special for the preschool’s children, Ash and his friends decide to let the children play with their Pokémon instead. Elsewhere, Team Rocket reminisces about Kids Day; James says he always had a great Kids Day with the day off school, swimming, and ice cream sandwiches, whereas Jessie did not.
