==Synopsis==
En route to [[Ecruteak City]], {{Ash}} is afflicted with stomach ache, caused by some earlier over-eating. With no medicine to treat it, {{ashfr|the group}} are greeted by [[Old Man Shuckle]], a pharmacist. The old man gives Ash some pills, which he takes, resulting in an explosion of purple gas from his mouth. {{an|Misty}} gets angry and yells at Old Man Shuckle when he tells her that the pills he gave Ash are Pokémon medicine. When Ash recovers, though, he reports that his stomach ache is now gone, and Misty calms down. Old Man Shuckle explains that his medicine works on both humans and Pokémon, and {{an|Brock}} is excited to discover that he makes the medicine himself, quickly taking the old man up his offer to show him where the medicine is made.

Old Man Shuckle reveals his laboratory, packed with natural ingredients, but admits that there is a special secret to how his medicine is produced. He shows the group a store room, full of strange red containers with corks in them. Misty picks one up, and is surprised to find that it's alive - the containers are actually {{p|Shuckle}}. The old man explains that he fills the Shuckle shells with his ingredients until they turn into the [[Drink#Berry Juice|juices]] which form the basis of all of his medicines. Different ingredients and Shuckle produce different medicines, and he shows the group a picture of a rare [[Shiny Pokémon|purple]] [[List of Shiny Pokémon in the anime#Shuckle|Shuckle]], which can produce a juice that would allow its user to tame any Pokémon. Brock is extremely taken by this notion, and asks the old man for some of the juice. However, Old Man Shuckle says that tracking down a purple Shuckle isn't easy, although if he had help in finding it, he would be willing to share the juice. He introduces the group to Spoopy, a {{p|Bellsprout}} that checks the scent of Shuckle in order to see if the juice inside them is ready.

When out looking for Shuckle with Spoopy, Old Man Shuckle explains that only wild Shuckle can produce quality juice, and so instead of catching them, he simply takes them back to his laboratory, fills them with ingredients, and returns them to the wild for a year while the ingredients turn into juice. Spoopy then detects the Shuckle by scent, and they are returned to the laboratory. Despite Spoopy's help, finding the Shuckle is still an arduous process, and so Ash and friends agree to help. Nearby, {{TRT}} are listening in, excited at the prospect of a juice that would make any Pokémon obedient to them.
