Full summary

Ash and his friends are traveling when Pikachu complains that he wants to rest. They bring Pikachu to a Pokemon Center, where they find out that it's having problems because the Pokeball teleporter's out of order, causing them to get mixed-up along the way.

The kids later go to the mansion of Professor Norton Byte, the one who created the teleporter system, to investigate the cause of the problems, and they get caught by the professor who forces them to enter an oversized Pokeball transporter! While they're trapped, he explains that he found out that some "strange people" broke into his mansion, stole the prototype for a CG-Pokemon, Porygon, went into the computer network and blocked the information highway that carries Pokeball's to their destination.

Before they could protest, Norton sends a non-prototype version of Porygon to help them, and transports them into the network. Ash and the others appear through a worm-hole in the computer system, but unfortunately the hole was several feet from the "ground". Porygon enlarges itself and flies down to save the kids and Pikachu, and as they're flying over the network, they see what's causing the Pokeball mix-up; the strange people are the Team Rocket, who've set up roadblocks on the highway to block the flow of Pokeball's. James and Jessie send Weezing and Arbok to fight Porygon, but Porygon counters by mimicking Weezing's Smog attack; they then send the prototype Porygon to fight Ash's Porygon, and while the fight's going, the kids and Pikachu try to remove the barricades blocking the highway.

Meanwhile, back at the Pokemon Center, Nurse Joy hired a computer consultant to put an anti-virus in the system, which unfortunately can't tell the difference between computer code and human beings. Team Rocket gets hit by the anti-virus program, taking out their Porygon, and Ash and the others manage to save them before the anti-virus attacks them again. Everyone manages to escape in the nick of time thanks to Pikachu, but Norton's lab gets blown up in the process, destroying the human-sized transporter. Team Rocket suprisingly thanks the twerps and they walk off without anything else going on. Norton falls to his knees picking up the destroyed remains of his computers, he is done with the computer world. Our heroes go back to the Pokemon Center and find out everything is working just fine, so they continue on their journey.
