En route to [[Ecruteak City]], {{Ash}} is afflicted with stomach ache, caused by some earlier over-eating. With no medicine to treat it, {{Ash}} {{ashfr}} 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. | En route to [[Ecruteak City]], {{Ash}} is afflicted with stomach ache, caused by some earlier over-eating.

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 {{DL|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|purple}} {{DL|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. | Old Man Shuckle reveals his laboratory, packed with natural ingredients, but admits that there is a special secret to how his medicine is produced.

Following the Shuckle, Old Man Shuckle says that drinking the undiluted purple Shuckle juice would cause a human to emit strong {{wp|pheromone}}s that would attract any nearby Pokémon for three days. This seems to be coming true for Team Rocket. While Meowth obsessively licks James's face, Jessie discovers an amorous Shuckle licking her hand. Soon, they realize they are surrounded by lovestruck Shuckle, and flee, directly into the path of Ash and friends. Brock tells them that Meowth and the Shuckle's behavior is a result of drinking the undiluted juice. Despite this Team Rocket refuse to hand over the purple Shuckle. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} to battle, but both fall under the effect of the pheromones and pounce on her. James tries to help her by sending out {{TP|James|Victreebel}}, but it affectionately tries to eat him as usual. Team Rocket recall their Pokémon and concede defeat, but something is wrong - {{AP|Pikachu}} stops listening to Ash and approaches Jessie, lovestruck. Deciding that things have gone too far, Old Man Shuckle scatters some powder over the area, neutralizing the effects of the pheromones. Meowth and the Shuckle return to normal, although Jessie still has hold of both Pikachu and the purple Shuckle. The purple Shuckle emerges from its shell and licks Jessie, causing her to fling it into the air in shock. Spoopy uses its {{m|Vine Whip}} to catch it. Jessie boasts that she still has Pikachu, although she soon discovers that Pikachu is no longer affected by the pheromones either, and Team Rocket are quickly sent blasting off. | Following the Shuckle, Old Man Shuckle says that drinking the undiluted purple Shuckle juice would cause a human to emit strong {{wp|pheromone}}s that would attract any nearby Pokémon for three days.

Back at his laboratory, Old Man Shuckle thanks the group for helping him obtain more Shuckle juice than ever before. He presents Brock with some Pokémon-taming medicine, as promised, but Brock decides to decline. Having seen how the Shuckle flocked to Team Rocket in spite of their nature, he says he would prefer to tame Pokémon the normal way. The friends bid Old Man Shuckle goodbye and continue on their journey.
