At the end of a long day, our heroes search for a Pokémon Center in a small town near Olivine City. Unable to locate one they ask a local lady for directions. She explains the nearest Pokémon Center is ten miles away! Too exhausted to extend today's journey, the gang decides to set up camp in a local park. As he gets water from a nearby fountain, Brock notices a Nidorina approaching to take a drink. Running after Nidorina is her trainer, who trips and almost falls into the fountain. She is narrowly saved by Brock and immediately falls head over heals in love with him. Introducing herself as Temacu, she insists Brock and his friends stay with her at her father's house. They agree, but what will happy when a girl actually loves Brock and will do anything for him?

Now that Chikorita has evolved into Bayleef, it is bigger then it once was. However, it has yet to realize how much stronger it has gotten. After tackling Ash a few times, he yells at Bayleef, and it runs away. Everyone goes off in search of her. Meanwhile, Bayleef slips and falls into the river. Our heroes follow the scent, which leads them to an old woman's house. Ash is relieved to see Bayleef, but Bayleef wants nothing to do with Ash. Now Ash must prove to Bayleef that he still cares about her, and fend off Team Rocket.
