==Synopsis==
As {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} continue on their way through [[Viridian Forest]], a shrill scream disrupts the calm of the trees. Ash turns around, realizing that the sound came from his female companion. She is hiding in a tree because she has seen a {{t|Bug|bug}}, to which Ash makes a pun. Then he spots the bug, a {{p|Weedle}}, and decides to catch it. He tries to use Pikachu against it, but it is more interested in sleeping than {{pkmn|battle|battling}}, so he sends out his {{AP|Pidgeotto}}. Pidgeotto manages to defeat Weedle, but, just when Ash is about to toss a {{ball|Poké}} to capture it, a boy dressed as a [[samurai]] arrives on the scene. The samurai asks Ash if he is from [[Pallet Town]], and when Ash replies that, yes, he is from Pallet Town, the samurai challenges Ash to a Pokémon battle. The {{pkmn2|wild}} Weedle escapes and the samurai rebukes Ash for allowing it to escape, but Ash insists that it is the samurai's fault that the Weedle escaped. The two then begin their Pokémon battle.

Ash uses his Pidgeotto and the samurai battles with his {{p|Pinsir}}. The two battle for some time, but Pinsir finally manages to defeat Pidgeotto. Ash then sends out his {{AP|Metapod}}. Metapod breaks Pinsir's pincers with {{m|Harden}} and wins the round. The samurai then sends out his own {{p|Metapod}}! The two Metapod continue to harden themselves, leaving Misty and Pikachu to wonder whether the match will ever finish. Suddenly, a swarm of angry {{p|Beedrill}} arrives, and one Beedrill lifts Ash's Metapod away. The samurai takes Ash, Misty and their Pokémon to a safe place.

Sure enough, the sound awakens the Kakuna, which evolve into Beedrill and prepare to dive-bomb Ash and Team Rocket.  Ash runs forward below their attacks, reaching the tree where Metapod is waiting.  Jessie and James attempt to take cover from the Beedrill beneath a large protective tank they have been carrying, but, as it is made of cardboard, a group of {{p|Weedle}} are easily able to chew through it.

Ash attempts to recall Metapod to its Poké Ball, but it rolls away from his arms.  Seeing a look of sorrow in Metapod's eyes, Ash realizes that he has lost Metapod's trust. Ash attempts to explain what happened, saying that losing Metapod was all Samurai's fault. However, Ash suddenly realizes that he is lying to himself and to Metapod, and admits that losing Metapod was his fault and his alone. Ash is upset upon realizing that it was his carelessness that put his Pokémon's life in danger, and, amid tearful apologies to Metapod, he sincerely promises to take better care of it. Its faith in its Trainer restored, Metapod saves Ash by leaping into the path of an attacking Beedrill, but in the process its shell is torn by the Beedrill's needle-like arm. Ash picks up his Metapod and cradles it in his arms, thinking it has been badly injured, but it instead begins to glow; the hole in its shell has triggered Metapod's [[Evolution|evolution]] into {{AP|Butterfree}}. Ash gazes happily at his first fully-evolved Pokémon, and even Misty doesn't feel her normal fear of {{t|bug}}s, going so far as to call Ash's Butterfree beautiful.

Ash and the others are then once again attacked by the swarm of Beedrill, but, this time, Ash is prepared for them. He orders his newly-evolved Butterfree to use {{m|Sleep Powder}}, which puts the bee-like Pokémon to sleep and allows the group to escape.  Samurai applauds Ash for being able to control his Butterfree well so soon after its evolution. Samurai also tells Ash that he takes back the statements he made about Ash being a novice, and that, compared to Ash, Samurai is the novice.
