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