==Episode plot==
A small boy named Rikuo and one of his relatives are fishing together. As Rikuo begins to play his flute, his relative begins to reel in a Pokémon. The Pokémon suddenly lets go of the line and swims towards the sound of the flute. The Pokémon emerges from the water, revealed to be a Magikarp attracted to Rikuo's music. As the Pokémon of the forest watch the Magikarp and Rikuo together, the sun begins to set and Magikarp is put into a tank to be brought home.
As Rikuo returns home in his relative's truck, he shows his parents the Magikarp he met at the lake. However, his parents don't allow Rikuo to keep the Magikarp, so it is taken to a Pokémon Breeding Center and put in the lake to wait for the boy's return. Saddened by being unable to keep the friendly Magikarp, Rikuo runs home with his flute in hand.
The Magikarp is seen swimming with the other -type Pokémon at the lake until a Farfetch'd swims over. The leek that the Farfetch'd holds reminds the Magikarp of Rikuo's flute, so the Magikarp leaps up high into the air and ends up in a nearby forest, landing on a Rillaboom's drum. The rhythm of the flopping Magikarp causes Rillaboom to start beating its drum as other Pokémon join in to create music.
At the Breeding Center, other children are seen reuniting with their Pokémon that they had left there. As the winter comes, less Pokémon begin to make music as more children pick up their Pokémon. Eventually, Magikarp is left in the lake, waiting for Rikuo. Magikarp spots a boy that looks similar to Rikuo, though it is another boy visiting for his Psyduck. Magikarp flops up onto land, but it is left alone.
Eventually, Magikarp begins to hear the familiar sound of the boy's flute, causing ripples in the lake. Rikuo, now a teenager, plays his flute to attract Magikarp back to him. The Fish Pokémon begins to glow with a bright power as it hears the song of the flute, eventually bursting from the water as a Gyarados. Now reunited with Rikuo, Gyarados slaps its tail on the water to Rikuo's flute playing while the other lake Pokémon gather around at the sound of the music.
