Summary

Terapagos explores the Brave Olivine at night, finding the other Pokémon sleeping together. Fuecoco rolls over in his sleep and bumps into Snorunt, who is startled and freezes over the floor with Ice Beam, causing Terapagos to slide around with Fuecoco, until they bump into a box of Oran Berries. Roy and Pikachu later find the Pokémon as they're eating the Berries together.

Episode 3

TBTE3.png

Summary

Feeling hungry, Terapagos wanders into the Brave Olivine's kitchen, where Alcremie produces some cream for it and Rockruff, while Shuckle gives them some of its juice. The cream and the juice end up spilling all over the kitchen, much to the horror of Quaxly, who tries to clean up the mess, but fails. Eventually, Dot enters the kitchen to find it and the Pokémon covered in cream and juice.

Trivia

  • These segments follow the same style as Pikachu's Vacation or Pikachu & Pichu, where Pikachu and the Pokémon from the main characters are the protagonists and the human characters appear briefly (usually from the back or with their faces not shown in the short).
    • It's the first time the animated series has made a short starring only Pokémon since Where Are You Going, Eevee?, almost four years earlier.
