As our heroes enter the [[Ilex Forest]], {{an|Misty}} worries they might be lost. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} worries about their empty stomachs.
As {{ashfr|the group}} enters the [[Ilex Forest]], {{an|Misty}} worries they might be lost. {{Ash}} and his friends then meet a boy and his {{p|Farfetch'd}}. The boy tries to get Farfetch'd to use a "cutting attack", but Farfetch'd is disregarding its {{pkmn|Trainer}} completely. Ash steps in and informs the boy that "{{m|Cut}} attack" is the correct name. The embarrassed boy then tells Farfetch'd to use "Cut", but even so, Farfetch'd refuses to obey. Meanwhile, Team Rocket struggles with their hunger.
 
{{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} soon happen to meet a boy and his {{p|Farfetch'd}}. They appear to be having a problem; the boy tries to get Farfetch'd to use "Cutting attack", but Farfetch'd is disregarding its {{pkmn|Trainer}} completely. Ash steps in and informs the boy that "{{m|Cut}} attack" is the correct name. The much embarrassed boy now tells Farfetch'd to use "Cut", but even when given the correct name of the [[Move|attack]], Farfetch'd refuses to obey!
 
Team Rocket trudges on, ignorant of all but their hunger pangs. Apparently, they're all out of money and are too weak to forage for food.


The boy, who introduces himself as {{OBP|Sylvester|EP145}}, explains that he is a beginning Trainer and sometimes has trouble remembering the names of attacks. He wants to be able to make "purifying [[charcoal]]" like his father does. {{an|Brock}} explains to Ash and Misty that purifying charcoal is {{wp|Charcoal|burnt wood used for fuel}} that can also purify water and air. The Ilex Forest is world-famous for its purified charcoal; in fact, Brock even uses it for a recipe he calls "Brock's Rockin' Rice". Sylvester says that he needs to teach Farfetch'd how to cut wood into perfect blocks. Farfetch'd doesn't look happy to be working with Sylvester, though. It appears to think very little of its Trainer. Nevertheless, Ash encourages the two by telling them how he and {{AP|Pikachu}} worked together to become best friends. Sylvester and Farfetch'd are persuaded to try again.

At the local [[Pokémon Center]], Ash reports to {{an|Professor Oak}} that he has safely delivered the [[GS Ball]] to [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]]. Ash also tells Oak of his {{ball|Lure}}, which he received from Kurt as a gift, and his {{Badge|Hive}}, which he won from [[Bugsy]], the [[Gym Leader]]. Ash's {{AP|Muk}}, {{AP|Kingler}}, {{AP|Snorlax}}, and {{AP|Tauros}} squeeze into the screen to wish Ash luck as he seeks out the next Gym. Suddenly, Sylvester runs into the Center and asks [[Nurse Joy]] if she has seen his Farfetch'd; apparently, it has run away after Sylvester forgot a few attack names again. Nurse Joy suggests looking for Farfetch'd at [[Yosaku|his father's]] house, since Farfetch'd went there the previous time it ran away. Sylvester seems very down on himself, so Ash cheers him up by volunteering to accompany him to his house, and to search the forest if Farfetch'd cannot be found there.

Ash cheers up the despondent Sylvester by volunteering to accompany him to his house, and to search the forest if Farfetch'd cannot be found there.
 
At Sylvester's house, Sylvester's father is busy at a hearth. His {{p|Magmar}} provides flames while he works hard to make the purifying charcoal. He receives the news that Farfetch'd has run away again with very little patience; in fact, he begins berating his son for being such a bad Trainer. Ash, feeling sorry for Sylvester, steps in and tells the father that his son is trying his best and should not be pressed so hard. Sylvester's father is not impressed; he orders his son and his new friends out into the forest to look for Farfetch'd.
 
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is still hungry. Then, {{MTR}} smells food! The scent is coming from two rolls on a strange-looking pedestal. [[James]] picks them up, but [[Jessie]] and Meowth eat them before he can. Then, Farfetch'd walks out from behind a bush, unaware of Team Rocket. The always-scheming thieves decide to grab the valuable Pokémon and sell it, using the money to buy lots of food. Farfetch'd manages to avoid James' initial lunge, but soon the poor Pokémon is cornered!
 
Ash and the others are having no luck finding Farfetch'd. Then Ash comes up with an idea: they can use their Pokémon to search! After Brock hastily withdraws his {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} before it {{m|Selfdestruct}}s, Ash realizes that none of the Pokémon are looking for Farfetch'd, so he gets them into action.


At the same time, Team Rocket is discovering that Farfetch'd won't be so easy to capture. It flies up to perch on a tree limb, cutting several branches with its leek and causing them to fall on Team Rocket's heads. Jessie tosses Meowth upwards in frustration, but Farfetch'd easily bonks him on the head, sending Meowth back down on Jessie's head. Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}; Farfetch'd blocks Arbok's {{m|Poison Sting}} with its leek. Arbok dives for the leek, but misses. Finally, Lickitung uses its giant Tongue to grab the leek. Without its leek, Farfetch'd tries to run away, but Meowth lassoes it. With Farfetch'd secure in a netted bag, James tries to eat the leek, but Jessie swipes it away. Meowth reminds him that the leek will make Farfetch'd complete, and more money can be made.

The trio corners the valuable Pokémon and decides to capture and sell it, using the money to buy lots of food.


{{AP|Heracross}} spots Team Rocket with Farfetch'd and reports back to Ash. Having been discovered, Team Rocket performs their motto for Ash and Sylvester, then makes a run for it. But {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Chikorita}} use {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the bag, freeing Farfetch'd. Before it can fly back to Sylvester, though, Farfetch'd is grabbed by Lickitung. James sends out his {{TP|James|Weezing}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}} and, after being swallowed by the latter, orders the former to fire {{m|Sludge}} at Ash and his Pokémon, immobilizing them. As Arbok's Poison Sting heads straight for the helpless group, Brock's {{TP|Brock|Onix}} erupts out of the ground and blocks the attack!
Elsewhere, Ash and the others decide to use their Pokémon to search for Farfetch'd. At the same time, Farfetch'd momentarily evades Team Rocket by flying up on a tree branch, cutting several smaller branches with its leek, and causing them to fall on Team Rocket's heads. Jessie tosses Meowth upwards in frustration, but Farfetch'd easily hits him on the head, sending Meowth back down on Jessie's own head. Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}; Farfetch'd blocks Arbok's {{m|Poison Sting}} with its leek. Arbok dives for the leek, but misses. Finally, Lickitung uses its giant Tongue to grab the leek. Without its leek, Farfetch'd tries to run away, but Meowth captures it. With Farfetch'd secure in a netted bag, James tries to eat the leek, but Jessie swipes it away and Meowth reminds him that the leek will make Farfetch'd complete, meaning more money could be made.


Brock and Misty hurry towards them with their Pokémon, and Misty has {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}} use {{m|Water Gun}} to get rid of the Sludge. As they prepare to get Farfetch'd back, Sylvester realizes how great of a team Ash and his Pokémon are. However, the fight is not over yet! Weezing and Victreebel use {{m|SmokeScreen}} and Razor Leaf, but then Ash puts down Team Rocket's hopes of finally succeeding by ordering {{AP|Squirtle}} to use {{m|Hydro Pump}} to blow away Weezing's smoke. While Ash's Pokémon attack together, Sylvester expresses the wish to work with Farfetch'd the way Ash works with his Pokémon. Brock explains that Ash's [[Party|team]] act with one mind.

Heracross {{m|Tackle}}s Team Rocket, sending the leek spinning up in the air. Jessie and Sylvester both dive for it, but only Sylvester comes up with the leek in hand! Farfetch'd sees its Trainer after making that great dive and realizes that maybe he isn't such a bad Trainer after all. Ash asks Sylvester if he's alright, but Sylvester shakes off the dust easily. Now that he knows the power of teamwork, his confidence has grown enormously. He throws the leek to Farfetch'd, who catches it and {{m|Peck}}s Lickitung so hard that it loosens its tongue, freeing Farfetch'd. In a last-ditch attempt, Team Rocket dives toward Farfetch'd, but Sylvester orders Farfetch'd to use {{m|Fury Attack}}. The devastating leek-bashing leaves Team Rocket completely worn out. Before they can run far, Farfetch'd uses Cut to down two big trees in front of Team Rocket's path. With that, Ash wraps things up by having Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Team Rocket blasts off for the umpteenth time, feeling cheated... and still hungry!
Brock and Misty hurry towards them with their Pokémon, and Misty has {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}} use {{m|Water Gun}} to get rid of the Sludge. Weezing and Victreebel then use {{m|Smokescreen}} and Razor Leaf, but Ash orders {{AP|Squirtle}} to use {{m|Hydro Pump}} to blow away Weezing's smoke. While Ash's Pokémon attack together, Sylvester expresses the wish to work with Farfetch'd the way Ash works with his Pokémon. Brock explains that Ash's [[Party|team]] act with one mind.


Ash congratulates Sylvester for getting Farfetch'd to use Cut, and Misty and Brock comment on how well the pair worked as a team. Encouraged by Ash and the gang, Sylvester asks Farfetch'd to cut one of the trees into blocks for charcoal. After pausing to orient itself, like a true Cutting master, Farfetch'd executes a serious of slashes, creating many perfectly-shaped blocks of wood. Yet again, Ash and his friends have helped a Trainer and his Pokémon become a solid team.

At the end of the day, Sylvester's father expresses his appreciation of his son's work and how very proud of him he is. After being given some charcoal in gratitude, our heroes set off for [[Goldenrod City]], where the next [[Johto League]] [[Gym]] lies.
