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 草 pokemon for us to get our hands on. 说 Jessie Wobbuffet! 说 Wobbuffet, finally popping out of its Pokeball at the last 分钟 (At the Pokemon Village) Hello. What brings 你 here? asked Melanie We were passing through and we just so happened to come across your village. 说 Ash Well, in that case, how does a little lunch sound to 你 and your Pokemon? I'm sure 你 must be hungry. 说 Melanie Yes. I am. I'm hungry for your love. 说 Brock, getting the wrong idea and flirting with her until his stomach growled. On 秒 thought, some lunch wouldn't be a bad idea. 说 Brock Great. I'll go inside and make 你 all something and then after, i can 显示 你 the Pokemon. 说 Melanie Great! 说 Ash in excitement (After lunch) Oh how cute. 说 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 由 anyone who it thinks are strangers. 说 Melanie Oh. I wasn't aware. 说 Misty It's quite alright. 说 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 草 Pokemon. They caught her 草 Pokemon off guard and her 草 Pokemon tried to run to inform Melanie there were thieves outside but were snagged 由 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 草 Pokemon with us to give to our boss. replied James 你 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 你 take her 草 Pokemon. added Ash, stepping 前锋, 期待 Out of our way, twerp unless 你 want us to steal your 皮卡丘 along with these 草 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 前锋, 期待 and grabbed Pikachu, placing it in the glass cage along with the 草 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 草 Pokemon slammed against the glass holding cage repeatedly. Even 皮卡丘 pitched in and helped them to get free. Heracross. Help them out. replied Ash, sending Heracross in (The 下一个 morning) I can't thank 你 three enough for rescuing my 草 Pokemon from those thieves. 说 Melanie My pleasure. 说 Brock, flirting with her one last time before being dragged away from her 由 Misty. Goodbye and thanks for everything. 说 Melanie, with her Rattata, Paras, and Caterpie down 由 her feet and her Chikorita in her arms. I wonder why that Chikorita wouldn't let me pet its belly. 说 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". 说 Brock Melanie seems to be able to hold it with no problem. 说 Misty That's because Chikorita has known Melanie the longest and is used to her. 说 Brock With that, they headed on to Olivine City.
