<i>On their way to Saffron City, Ash and his friends encounter a Caterpie and its Trainer-in-training, Xander, who mistakes them for lab robbers. Fortunately, Dr. Gordon, the lab owner and Xander's teacher, shows up and things are sorted out. The kids visit Dr. Gordon's lab, where he makes all kinds of strange inventions. Of course, Team Rocket wants to steal them all! | |||
Caterpie helps catch them in the act, but in the process, Dr. Gordon's briefcase opens and blue candies roll out. Caterpie eats some and grows until it's big enough to send Team Rocket blasting off. The Mystery Candy Complete keeps Caterpie growing until it's bigger than a building! The giant Caterpie heads into town as people flee in a panic. Climbing the local radio tower, it then evolves into Metapod. | |||
Elsewhere, Team Rocket discovers that Wobbuffet stole some Mystery Candy too, so they head back into town and kidnap Dr. Gordon. The Candy makes Dustox and Cacnea huge—Dustox is so big that Team Rocket hops on its back and flies away with Dr. Gordon! Metapod evolves into a giant Butterfree just in time for Ash and Xander to give chase. | |||
After some aerial maneuvers, Dustox suddenly shrinks back to normal size. Butterfree catches it but Team Rocket plummets into a pond. No sooner do they emerge than Officer Jenny arrives with Ash's friends, and when Team Rocket puts up a fight, Pikachu and Butterfree send them on their way once more. Eventually Butterfree returns to normal size too, and Ash says farewell to Xander and his newly-evolved friend—as well as Dr. Gordon, who's now more enthusiastic about his inventions than ever!</i> | |||
==Plot== | |||
It's another beautiful day in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], as {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} head towards their next destination, [[Saffron City]]. A {{p|Caterpie}} suddenly pops out from the bushes and appears to be angry. Curious about it, {{an|May}} brings out her [[Pokédex]]. [[Xander|A young boy]] then appears and accuses the group of being thieves. The boy commands Caterpie to use {{m|String Shot}} on {{Ash}} and the gang. Ash and friends cry out in protest, but Caterpie continues to encase them in String Shot. A man in a lab coat called [[Dr. Gordon]] and with a strange device on his head comes onto the scene, and tries to determine the truth about the trio. Using the device's Alakazam, he determines that... their limousine is waiting for them. Eventually the group convinces Dr. Gordon and the boy, Xander, that they are just travelers. Xander apologizes for accosting them. | It's another beautiful day in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], as {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} head towards their next destination, [[Saffron City]].
