Indigo League - Kanto Region.
Pallet Town.
Ash runs away to escape chores and they reach a greenhouse. Brock notices a beautiful girl. An attendant approaches them and they mistake his garden hose for a flamethrower. He introduces himself as Potter. Bulbasaur accidentally smells Pokenip, a flower that makes pokemons act weird. Bulbasaur then smells Stun Stem that paralyzes it. Florinda takes Bulbasaur to her house and treats it with Gloom’s natural antidote. She thinks herself as a failure as she can’t evolve her Gloom into Vileplume. She even used a Leaf Stone but it didn’t work. Professor Oak arrives and says it’s a fake. He says there’s a spike in fake evolutionary stones being sold to trainers and he’s doing some investigation on it. She explains the description of how the sellers looked like. Our heroes realize its Team Rocket. Florinda feels like she’s a failure. An alarm trips, alerting Team Rocket stealing Stun Stem. Bulbasaur ties them up. Meowth powders the stun stem, creates a bomb and throws it on our heroes, paralyzing them. They take Pikachu. Brock asks Florinda to battle them with her Gloom. She feels like she haven’t trained her Gloom well and won’t be able to win against them. Ash asks Florinda to battle them and save Pikachu. Brock asks her to trust her Gloom. Gloom uses Double Team to confuse them. Pikachu escapes. Gloom uses Solar Beam and blasts Team Rocket away. Florinda believes in herself and feels ready to run this nursery, if a special guy agrees to help her. Brock thinks it’s him but she proposes Potter and he loves her too, breaking Brock’s heart.
