Pluto's orbit is quite unusual. It takes 248 Earth years for Pluto to complete one orbit around the Sun. Its orbit is also more oval-shaped, or elliptical, than those of the 8 major planets. That means that sometimes Pluto is a lot nearer to the Sun than at other times, At times Pluto's orbit brings it closer to the Sun than Neptune.

It has a more eccentric orbit than the eight major planets. The eight major planets orbit the sun in approximately the same plane, and have fairly uniform orbits - more or less staying the same distance from the sun in more circular orbits. Pluto's orbital plane is at a tilt, it's distance from the sun also varies a lot more during one orbit.

all planets and dwarf planets have an elliptical or a flat oval orbit

Yes, it's quite eccentric. It's distance from the sun varies by quite a bit, while it does not fit to the ecliptic plane as well as the eight major planets.

Does Pluto overlap Neptune?

Actually, yes it does. Pluto, because of its lopsided orbit, crosses paths and goes in front of Neptune once every 288 years. It probably is once every 288 years because Pluto orbits the Sun once after 248 years.
