Pikachu tries to offer it some of his own electricity as well, but Francois refuses. Ash and Goh note that Francois seems to only like eating electricity from retro appliances. Ren confirms this and adds that it used to be a lot worse. However, before he can tell how he first met Francois, the lights suddenly turn off, before turning back on several seconds later. Soon after, Professor Cerise explains that the brief blackout was caused by a magnetic storm, a phenomenon created by explosions on the surface of the sun, which can damage power grids and ruin delicate equipment. Ren receives a phone call from Chrysa, who asks him if Francois is okay and sends him a video that shows Magnemite around Vermilion City behaving oddly. Professor Cerise analyzes Francois and discovers that it's receiving a strange transmission, which is likely the cause of the Magnemite's unusual behavior. When Francois starts behaving strangely as well and refuses to be recalled, Ren wraps the screw on its head in tinfoil, blocking the transmission. Since the disturbance seems to be affecting only downtown Vermilion City, Professor Cerise suggests Francois being evacuated to the outskirts for the time being. Francois, however, shows signs of annoyance. Ren explains that it's gotten so picky that it wants all things that have a retro feel, so he decides to cover the tinfoil with a doorknob cover, pleasing Francois. Outside the laboratory, Ash and Goh call out Dragonite and Flygon to fly them out of the city, although Ren, having a fear of heights, finds himself uncomfortable flying on Flygon's back. To distract Ren from his fear, Goh asks him to tell how he had met Francois. Ren starts reminiscing of how he used to visit a café, whose proprietor loved collecting antiques and using them as decorations. Francois had also become a regular visitor to the café, loving to eat electricity from its chandelier.
