SNIVY PLAYS HARD TO CATCH!
"Cilan says..."
Score: 3.5/10
The heroes stop for lunch in the forest, and Iris runs out into the trees to find some wild fruit because, and I did not know this, but apparently, in the dense forests of New York, you can find wild apples, pears, bananas, and some kind of... yellow thing. It's not a lemon. I don't know. Cilan, however, insists on turning them into fruit muffins and cakes before they eat them. Don’t worry, this isn’t important, it’s just here to pad out the episode.
A wild Snivy appears and steals some of their food, so Ash decides to catch it without bothering to weaken it first. Of course, it escapes and tries to runs off, but Ash, excited at the idea of catching a grass pokemon (because God knows he’s never caught one in the past), sends Pikachu to fight it because it's the second-to-worst possible choice and he feels like saving Oshawott for later. Snivy simply uses attract on Pikachu, and while Pikachu's confused, whips it good. I could make a joke, but honestly, I've really already covered basically every possible BDSM joke in this cartoon. Ash decides that a pokemon attacking another pokemon is far too much for his delicate constitution to watch, and interposes himself between Snivy and Pikachu, taking the attacks and impressing Snivy. Still, however, Snivy just runs off, but it proves to be so strong that Cilan suspects it once had a trainer but left him. I don’t know if this will come up in a later episode, but it doesn’t come up again in this one. Rather than cut off its escape like last time, Ash just sends out Pidove to track Snivy down because he’s kind of a lazy douchebag.
Team Rocket, in the area, gets more orders from Giovanni, and decide to catch more pokemon. Snivy shows up, so Jessie sends out Meowth. Snivy just kind of leaves. Significance of this scene? About two minutes. Does Team Rocket appear again? No.
