<i>Say cheese! Ash and friends are being shadowed by Snap, the world's greatest Pokémon photographer. Snap hopes to catch just one great shot of Pikachu, but Pikachu is camera-shy. What Ash and friends don't know is that Snap is doing this job for Team Rocket. But Team Rocket thinks that Snap is in the business of actually capturing Pokémon—the villains don't realize that he only captures them on film. When they realize they've been duped, Jessie, James, and Meowth drop in to swipe Pikachu themselves. Ash and Snap work together to send Team Rocket off in a photo finish. Snap gets the photo he wanted, and Ash gets a new friend.</i> | <i>Say cheese! Ash and friends are being shadowed by Snap, the world's greatest Pokémon photographer.

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} decide to stop and eat, with {{an|Brock}} making his famous [[rice ball]]s.

Ash then sends out {{AP|Squirtle}} and commands it to use {{m|Water Gun}} at the bushes where he saw the gun. Just then, {{Todd}} stands up, holding nothing but a camera, and tells him to stop, afraid that his camera will be ruined. Ash, infuriated at Todd, asks why he was spying on them. Todd explains that he is a world-famous {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} photographer and didn't want his picture of Pikachu to look fake. | {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} decide to stop and eat, with {{an|Brock}} making his famous [[rice ball]]s.

Todd subtly tries to get a picture of Pikachu, but the {{pkmn|category|Mouse Pokémon}} accidentally {{m|Thunder Shock|zaps}} him in the process. He tries again but gives up and reiterates that Pokémon should be photographed naturally, not posing, showing them pictures he took of various Pokémon to prove his point. Pikachu doesn't like to be photographed, so Ash and his friends send out their Pokémon for Todd to photograph. However, Todd says that he only wants to take pictures of Pikachu. They ask him why, but he says that he cannot tell them. | ||

* Originally, Todd's name was dubbed as "Snap" | * Originally, Todd's name was dubbed as "Snap". Because of potential issues with {{wp|Kellogg's}} over one of the mascots of {{wp|Rice Krispies}}, the episode was redubbed and aired in the United States with his name as Todd. The "Snap" dub was used in the airings outside of the United States. When Cartoon Network gained the rights to air first-run episodes of Pokémon and stream older ones on [[Pokémon in the United States|Toonami Jetstream]], they chose to use the "Todd" dub, retconning his full name to "Todd Snap". | ||
* In the original, Todd wears a mask of {{p|Blastoise}} because Ash thought he said カメックス (''Kamex'') instead of カメラ (''camera'').
