Aladibababad takes the card, but is stopped by by the thieves. The leader of the thieves takes the card and strands Aladibababad on a desert island.

On this island, Aladibababad discovers a magical bottle which contains a genie. After defeating the genie's mindgames, Aladibababad escapes the island by hopping to the adjacent mainland, getting his feet only a little wet.

Back at the Burger Doodle, the magical cave entrance has closed. Eventually the thieves get it open again by singing the entire Burger Doodle ditty. Aladibababad returns, and fights the leader of the thieves for the Pokemon card. While they fight, another thief opens the bottle, releasing the genie.
