DP062: Difference between revisions

The episode begins with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} on a cliff. Ash is excited about his next [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} at [[Veilstone City]]. {{an|Dawn}} claims she needs to kick back and think about her next [[Pokémon Contest]]. {{an|Brock}} decides to take his friends to the [[Café Cabin|Mountain Hut Maid Café]]. There, they meet the three maids {{OBP|Autumn|DP062}}, {{OBP|Spring and Summer|DP062|Spring, and Summer}}. Brock immediately goes for Spring and Summer, but is stopped by {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}. After recovering, Spring, Autumn, and Summer take all three of them to the barn for {{p|Miltank}} milk at their request. Once there, Spring's two Miltank and Summer's Miltank happily run into the barn, hooking themselves up to give Ash and friends a nice round of milk. Everyone sends out their Pokémon to enjoy it as well.

Brock then inquires about Autumn's Miltank. She says her Miltank, Ilta, is outside and doesn't listen to her since she just got her. She also claimed that she was thinking about [[Released Pokémon|releasing]] her since she 'isn't that cute anyway'. Brock jumps in, saying that Autumn shouldn't just give up on her Miltank. Spring then compliments on Brock's knowledge, causing Brock to proclaim his dream of becoming a great {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}. He also claims that he can help Autumn with any problems she may have with her Miltank, becoming quite flirtatious with Spring. Predictably, Croagunk {{m|Poison Jab}}s him once again.

The episode switches back to Brock and Autumn. Brock says that a good way to bond with Pokémon is to [[Friendship|gain its trust]]. When Autumn asks how one can gain the trust of Pokémon, Brock demonstrates on his {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}. Autumn tries it for herself, repeating the process with Ilta. When Ilta ignores her, Autumn gets frustrated, only to calm down when Brock tells Autumn to be 'kind and patient'. Autumn tries again, but Ilta eats the flower that Autumn was addressing, so she throws a fit. Brock simply walks over to Ilta, petting her head and asking her if the flower tasted good. When Autumn tried to do the same, she thought Ilta was leaning in to give her a small kiss, but Ilta belched in her face. Autumn of course threw another fit.

Brock then suggests working on 'praise giving' by letting Pokémon overcome fear through kind words. A rickety bridge is the next setting for the two. Brock and Happiny go first. Happiny gets scared, but overcomes the fear when Brock cheers her on. With a bit of struggling, Brock was able to get Ilta to try to cross the bridge with a [[Pecha Berry]]. Ilta tries to cross, but becomes frightened in the middle. Brock reminds Autumn that she must cheer Ilta on. Upon doing so, Autumn smacks Ilta in the back, trying to be encouraging, but winds up tripping and falling to the side. Ilta, receiving the blow on the back, fell to the other side of the bridge. Autumn falls over the rope and hangs above the raging rapids below. Brock runs over to save her, grabbing onto her hand before it was too late. However, Brock, too, began to fall off the bridge. Fortunately, in a spurt of quick thinking Happiny runs over and grabs Brock's leg, flinging both him and Autumn back over the edge and where they started.

The episode switches to Happiny and Ilta eating happily, while Autumn cries over what happened and Brock tries to reassure her.

The episode goes back to Ash and friends working in the Mountain Hunt Maid Café. Spring tells Ash that the rush hour is over and that she can handle it. Excited, Ash runs off with his {{AP|Turtwig}} to practice Turtwig's {{m|Energy Ball}}. Dawn looks sadly at Ash's enthusiasm, still upset about her [[DP061|last Contest]].

Again, the episode switches. This time to the two boys from earlier. They are staring at a new café that wasn't even on the map. Upon entering, they are greeted by [[Jessie]] in a maid outfit, [[James]] in a butler suit, and {{MTR}} in a baby costume. Once the boys are seated, Team Rocket asks if they want coffee. Even though they said no, Team Rocket insisted on it and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, in another maid costume, gets them a cup.

Once again, the episode goes to Ash and his Turtwig practicing Energy Ball. Turtwig is able to produce the ball, but is unable to really use it as an attack as of yet. Turtwig becomes upset, but regains happiness when Ash comforts and encourages it. Dawn, who was watching the practice session, became pumped up and thought of also working hard. Upon getting out her [[Poké Ball]], she started thinking about what [[Zoey]] said to her. She lost her will yet again. {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} looked sadly at his Trainer. Although Dawn tried to reassure Piplup that she was all right, Dawn began to get upset and cry. Ash, seeing her cry, asked why she had been crying, and when Ash asks if she had something in her eye, she dismisses it as just that.

Ash then says he is hungry, so Dawn suggests getting some ice cream. Ash jumps at the chance and they go off.

 

 

Once more, the episode switches back to Brock and Autumn. This time, Ilta comes across an apple tree and knocks down a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} while trying to get some of the fruit. Autumn tries to protect Ilta from the oncoming swarm as Happiny saves the day with a {{m|Secret Power}}. After escaping Ilta gives Autumn a lick on the face seeing how courageous Autumn was. Suddenly, Team Rocket appears, and captures both Ilta and Autumn. Seeing this, Brock jumps onto the net, so Team Rocket grabs him and Happiny as well. Team Rocket puts all of them in a cage, as they want some milk from Ilta, who refuses. Happiny is able to put Team Rocket to sleep with Secret Power, so they drop the key and everyone escapes. Wobbuffet later wakes Team Rocket up and they see that Autumn, Brock, Ilta, and Happiny got away.
