Brock promises Melanie that they will not try to catch any of the Pokémon in the village. Despite her earlier attempt to catch Oddish, Misty concurs. Ash worries if the traps are enough to keep robbers away, noting the idiocy of being caught in them. The camera cuts to Team Rocket, who have just fallen into their third pit trap. They finally manage to get out, only to immediately get caught in a net. Brock and Ash tend to a {{p|Staryu}}, while Misty apologizes to Oddish. She and Ash begin quarreling, and the Bulbasaur tackles Misty, thinking Oddish is in danger. Melanie explains that Bulbasaur has volunteered to protect the whole village. Bulbasaur tries to nudge Ash out of the village because it doesn't trust Pokémon Trainers. | Brock promises Melanie that they will not try to catch any of the Pokémon in the village.

Suddenly, Team Rocket appears from behind a cloud, standing on a balloon-lifted | Suddenly, Team Rocket appears from behind a cloud, standing on a [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon-lifted flying baseball stadium]], and reciting their {{motto}}. They land in a clearing outside the village and try to collect all the Pokémon in the village with a massive vacuum. As Brock herds everyone into the cabin, Oddish gets caught in the suction. Bulbasaur rescues Oddish with its {{m|Vine Whip}}, and Ash helps block the wind so it can carry Oddish to the cabin. Team Rocket moves the vacuum directly over the cabin, so Bulbasaur uses its vines to smack the hose around. Ash instructs his {{AP|Pidgeotto}} to use {{m|Gust}}, and this causes a tornado that tosses Team Rocket and their flying stadium into the distance. | ||
Melanie asks Ash to take the Bulbasaur with him, seeing the pair as a good match; the village is too small for its bulb to grow. She says the Pokémon have stayed in the village too long because the Bulbasaur has done too good a job of protecting them. Bulbasaur agrees to go with Ash, on condition that they battle first. Ash sends Pikachu, who dodges Bulbasaur's vines but is tackled. Bulbasaur uses its Vine Whips to slam Pikachu into the ground, but Ash calls for a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which uses Bulbasaur's vines as wires to shock it into submission, allowing Ash to catch it. Brock offers to stay and help, but Melanie refuses, telling him to continue on his adventures. The trio and Bulbasaur wave goodbye to Melanie as they continue their journey to Vermilion City. | Melanie asks Ash to take the Bulbasaur with him, seeing the pair as a good match; the village is too small for its bulb to grow.
