Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village
S1, E10: Still lost, the party continues to wander in search of the next town. Falling from a rope bridge, stumbling into pitfalls, being caught in various traps, they struggle on until they reach a village not shown on their map. This quiet place is inhabited by Pokémon that have been injured in battle or abandoned by their Trainers. In this village, a kind-hearted young woman named Melanie cares for the Pokémon. Even as our heroes, touched by Melanie’s kind example, attempt to assist her in caring for the Pokémon, Team Rocket is slowly making its way toward the village. A combined effort of Melanie’s and Ash’s Pokémon is needed to fight off Team Rocket, and as a result, Ash’s courage earns him a battle between Pikachu and Melanie’s bravest Pokémon, Bulbasaur!
