It seems like just another lazy summer is in store for Amane and her older cousin Natsuki. Boredom quickly vanishes when they find an injured dog in the woods and bring him back to the cabin where they discover that he is not a dog at all, but Pochi, an alien botanist sent to Earth to track down a rare and powerful plant. Before long, Pochi has whisked the kids away to a space colony on the dark side of the moon where they experience a non-stop parade of humorous alien creatures, jellyfish spaceships, and dragon trains.
