Ash, Brock, and Misty were on their way to Olivine City when they saw a Pokemon village nearby and decided to go stay at the village for a while until they were ready to leave for Olivine City. Meanwhile, Team Rocket were above a ledge overlooking the Johto region. Wonder where they're headed? asked Meowth It's obvious they're headed to the Pokemon village. Which means there's sure to be plenty of rumput pokemon for us to get our hands on. berkata Jessie Wobbuffet! berkata Wobbuffet, finally popping out of its Pokeball at the last minit (At the Pokemon Village) Hello. What brings anda here? asked Melanie We were passing through and we just so happened to come across your village. berkata Ash Well, in that case, how does a little lunch sound to anda and your Pokemon? I'm sure anda must be hungry. berkata Melanie Yes. I am. I'm hungry for your love. berkata Brock, getting the wrong idea and flirting with her until his stomach growled. On saat thought, some lunch wouldn't be a bad idea. berkata Brock Great. I'll go inside and make anda all something and then after, i can tunjuk anda the Pokemon. berkata Melanie Great! berkata Ash in excitement (After lunch) Oh how cute. berkata Misty, getting ready to pet the wild Chikorita on the belly until it swung its leaf on its head in defense Oh i'm so sorry. I forgot to mention Chikorita doesn't like having its belly petted sejak anyone who it thinks are strangers. berkata Melanie Oh. I wasn't aware. berkata Misty It's quite alright. berkata Melanie (Later that night) When Brock, Melanie, Ash, and Misty were all asleep, Team Rocket got to work using a mechanical Venusaur to capture Melanie's rumput Pokemon. They caught her rumput Pokemon off guard and her rumput Pokemon tried to run to inform Melanie there were thieves outside but were snagged sejak a net that dragged them up towards the mecha where they disappeared before being trapped in a glass cage. As soon Melanie, Brock, Ash, and Misty realized this, they woke up and arrived outside to see the Venusaur mecha with Melanie's Pokemon inside the glass cage. Give me back my Pokemon! shouted Melanie I'm afraid we can't do that. replied Jessie As soon as we're through with you, we'll be taking your rumput Pokemon with us to give to our boss. replied James anda aren't going anywhere with them. Not as long i have anything to say about it. replied Melanie That's right. She's not about to let anda take her rumput Pokemon. added Ash, stepping ke hadapan Out of our way, twerp unless anda want us to steal your Pikachu along with these rumput Pokemon. snapped Jessie You're not stealing my Pikachu. replied Ash Too late. We're still going to anyways. replied Jessie A mechanical vine swung ke hadapan and grabbed Pikachu, placing it in the glass cage along with the rumput Pokemon. Melanie stood there motionless, worried about her Pokemon until Ash encouraged her to get her Pokemon to slam against the glass holding cage. She agreed and finally took his advice. Before long, all her rumput Pokemon slammed against the glass holding cage repeatedly. Even Pikachu pitched in and helped them to get free. Heracross. Help them out. replied Ash, sending Heracross in (The seterusnya morning) I can't thank anda three enough for rescuing my rumput Pokemon from those thieves. berkata Melanie My pleasure. berkata Brock, flirting with her one last time before being dragged away from her sejak Misty. Goodbye and thanks for everything. berkata Melanie, with her Rattata, Paras, and Caterpie down sejak her feet and her Chikorita in her arms. I wonder why that Chikorita wouldn't let me pet its belly. berkata Misty during their walk to Olivine City When a Pokemon like Chikorita feels as if you're a stranger, then that's a sign its body language is "hey i don't want to be petted right now". berkata Brock Melanie seems to be able to hold it with no problem. berkata Misty That's because Chikorita has known Melanie the longest and is used to her. berkata Brock With that, they headed on to Olivine City.
