Episode 010: Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village

Taking a break by a stream, Misty and Ash spot an Oddish. After a squabble, Misty declares she will be the one to catch it. Using Starmie, she battles the Oddish and is about to capture it when a Bulbasaur busts out of the brush and knocks away Starmie. Ash calls out Butterfree, who sprinkles Bulbasaur with Sleep Powder. Bulbasaur blows the powder back at Butterfree knocking it out, then Bulbasaur and Oddish escape back into the woods. Disappointed, Ash continues on, crossing a bridge hung over a rapid river. Suddenly, the bridge gives way and Brock tumbles into the water below and is swept away. Ash, Misty and Pikachu manage to make it to the other side and begin to search the river bank for Brock. Along the way, Misty falls into a trap in the ground and later on, all three get caught in a net. Ash spots Bulbasaur down below, who leaves them hanging. Soon after, Brock appears and cuts them down. He leads them to a clearing in the forest and introduces them to Melanie, who is caring for the sick and injured Pokemon who stay there. Ash sees the Bulbasaur he saw earlier and Melanie tells him that Bulbasaur volunteered to protect the entire village from trespassers. As Misty teases Brock about having a crush on Melanie, Team Rocket makes their way to the village, falling into every trap along the way. Ash and Brock help care for a Staryu, while Misty apologizes to the Oddish for scaring it. Suddenly, Bulbasaur tackles Misty, knocking her to the ground. Melanie tells them that Bulbasaur was only trying to protect Oddish. Ash thinks that Bulbasaur is the greatest, but Bulbasaur isn't so fond of Ash, trying to push him away from the village. Suddenly, Team Rocket shows up with a huge vaccumm and tries to suck up all the Pokemon. Oddish is caught in the vaccum but is saved by Bulbasaur's Vine Whip. Ash help Bulbasaur get into the cabin to hide from Team Rocket. Ash sends out Pidgeotto, who uses a Gust Attack to blow away Team Rocket. Bulbasaur trusts Ash now, and Melanie asks Ash to take Bulbasaur along with him. Bulbasaur agrees to go, but only if Ash will defeat him in a Pokemon battle. Pikachu knocks out Bulbasaur and Ash captures him inside a Pokeball. As they leave, Bulbasaur says goodbye to Melanie and they leave the Hidden Village behind.
