Pokemon Company

Airdate: January 6th, 2000

Summary: Our friends make their way to a Pokémon Center, but it’s closed. Blissey opens the door, shows the gang their hospitality, but I might go a little to far when Blissey spills a bunch of food all over the floor and Ash. Blissey then marks Ash’s back puts rubbing alcohol in it, forcing Ash to have to bandage himself. Our friends are hungry and tired, and so are Team Rocket. Jessie chases Meowth over a turnip, but meets her old friend Blissey. Team Rocket and Blissey catch up, and Jessie recounts her time in nursing school with the Chansey. Jessie and Chansey became good friends as Jessie helps Chansey, I got have the beginnings of tears right now. James and Meowth start crying, while Blissey shows Team Rocket to their food storage room. Nurse Joy finds out that Blissey gave Team Rocket food, but James and Meowth help Jessie frame themselves as the people who stole the food. Team Rocket reveals their plan, and Ash is fired up. Blissey sees Team Rocket, and comes out to greet Team Rocket. Jessie has to choose to scare Blissey and battle it to push it away and not take the fall for helping Team Rocket with the food. The Pokémon attack hard and soft, but Blissey will not stop loving Jessie. Team Rocket steals Pikachu, who shocks Team Rocket. Jessie and Blissey have a final moment before Chikorita, Squirtle, and Pikachu attack Team Rocket and send them into oblivion. Blissey makes a good deal of food without ruining it. Jessie will never forget Blissey. 

Best Trainer/Pokémon: Jessie, this is her redemption story. 

Worst Trainer/Pokémon: Nurse Joy, how do you not know Blissey’s nature, that she would never steal food.  

One thing I learned: Blissey are sweet-hearted Pokémon. 

Who is that Pokémon?: Togepi, what line of Toge-Pokemon.
