EP068: Difference between revisions

Back home at [[Pallet Town]], [[Mimey]] tickles both {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} with its broom, prompting Pikachu to electrocute Ash, which wakes him up. This also awakens Misty, who had been sleeping in Ash's bunk. Later, during breakfast, {{Delia}} asks her son to help out with her garden, as he does not appear to be training for the [[Pokémon League]]. Not wanting to help out of concern that he would be left too exhausted to train afterwards, Ash leaves with Misty and {{an|Brock}}, claiming he had to train in the mountains. As they leave, Delia tells them to get three-to-four hundred pounds of fertilizer from the [[Xanadu Nursery]].

The group encounters a greenhouse, which Ash tells Misty and Brock is the Xanadu Nursery, his old childhood stomping ground. He recalls that the owner had moved away when he was a child and he does not know the new owner. Brock peers inside and finds an attractive woman, but Ash only sees a {{p|Gloom}}. Misty tells Ash to turn around, though he replies that only one of the group will hallucinate at a time. They are interrupted by a gardener named [[Potter]], who describes the Xanadu Nursery as a place that attracts {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Upon hearing this, Ash sends {{AP|Bulbasaur}} out to enjoy the place, while he and Misty explore. Brock then learns that the girl he saw was [[Florinda Showers|Florinda]], the new owner of the Xanadu Nursery. Just then, Bulbasaur sniffs a bunch of Stun Stem, a plant that produces pollen that can paralyze, much like {{m|Stun Spore}}; this knocks it out cold. Florinda and Gloom appear, and Florinda advises Ash to take Bulbasaur with her to the house for treatment. Gloom, who has developed an immunity to Stun Stem by being exposed to it for so long, drips a milky white substance into Bulbasaur's mouth and it quickly recovers. As the two Grass Pokémon play, Brock and Florinda talk privately.
