Ash, Dawn and Brock are on their way to Snowpoint City, after barely making it out of Mt Coronet, when they get surprised with a harsh blast of wind and snow. Something is heard up ahead, and is slightly visible, but the snow and wind get thicker and rougher. The noise got closer and ended up being a group of Swinub and Piloswine. The three trainers stare at them for a few moments until the cold was too much. A shrill cry yells out as a huge Pokemon comes out of nowhere, smashing down beside them. A few Pokemon jump off and grab Ash, Dawn and Brock, taking them away. The huge Pokemon runs off, followed by the smaller Pokemon and their trainer hostages.

The next scene, Ash is asleep. Pikachu walks up, tapping his cheek. He wakes up, asking what's happening. A new voice speaks, a young girl, "You're not gonna get them."

"Calm down, Hallie," Said another, more soothing male voice. He got up, "You're up. Good."

"Ugh... what's goin' on?" Ash groaned, sitting up. The small group of Swinub and Piloswine look at him. He stares at them, taking out his PokeDex, "What Pokemon are they?"

"They are Swinub and their evolution, Piloswine." Spoke a harsh, familiar voice: Paul. "There's also a few Froslass here and a couple Mamoswine outside."

"Mamoswine?" Ash questioned. The boy walked to Ash, "Yes, Mamoswine. It's Piloswine's evolution. I'm Hal. You must be hungry. Your friends have eaten something. You should too."

Ash got up and walked to a small table, where he was greeted with some piping hot food. He happily eat, as Dawn and Brock joined him. Paul stood in a corner, staring outside at the blizzard that trapped them all there. Hal explained to them about something called the Snow Truffle. Hal explains that the Snow Truffle grows under deep snow and only Pokemon in the Swine family can sniff them out. He tells them a story of a time in the past, where his and Hallie's father went in search of the Snow Truffle and got lost in the snow, never returning. He continues telling them that if he were to find one Snow Truffle he could have a little peace with his father's disappearance. Of course, Ash and friends (excluding Paul) agree to help.

As a few cheers ring out, three evil chuckles join from afar. Team Rocket hears the entire, wanting to get in on the action. They plot and plan, running off, singing a goofy song about truffles. The blizzard finally ends and Hal gears up himself and his Pokemon. Ash releases his Abomasnow and Dawn releases her Glaceon to help. Brock remains at the house with Paul and Hallie, protecting Hallie. Hal bids his goodbye and promises to come back. He kicks Mamoswine's side and rides off. The Swinub, Piloswine, Ash and Dawn following.

After a while of searching, Hal sighs with defeat. Ash reassures him. Pikachu's ears flicked as he jumped off Ash's shoulder and runs to a far off area. He calls out, holding something up, a mushroom-shaped item, beautiful and sparkling in the sun. Hal smiles, "The Snow Truffle!" Swinub and Piloswine rush over to Pikachu, hoping to find more under the snow. Instead of truffles, a net explodes up, pulling and trapping the Pokemon. A familiar balloon rises up as laughter is heard. Team Rocket makes themselves known, doing their motto. "Team Rocket!" Ash and Dawn yell. Several claws shoot out, snatching up Glaceon and one of Hal's Mamoswines.

Ash talks to himself out loud, "If only Pikachu can attack..." Hal looks at him, then up to the balloon. He tells Ash that his Pokemon are part ground, so Pikachu's power would have no effect. Ash smiles, telling the little mouse Pokemon to do a Thunder attack. The usual "Pi.... Ka.... Chu!!" is said and Team Rocket goes blasting off again. The Pokemon they capture are freed and the falling Mamoswine causes a mini avalanche, exposing a huge deposit of the fabled Snow Truffles. Hal happily collects several and leads the group home. Later that night, Hal is busy making medicines and Poke-treats from the Snow Truffles.

The next morning, as Ash and friends are leaving, Hal presents each of them with some Snow Truffle items, such as medicines, treats and rare Poffin. The gang say their goodbyies and walk off, heading to Snowpoint City, which is now visible as the three trainers head down the mountains to the snow-covered city.

End of episode.
