==Plot==
{{Ash}} and a {{pkmn|Trainer}} are having a tense [[Pokémon battle]]. As {{AP|Chikorita}} was getting tired, Ash decides to use {{AP|Pikachu}} against the Trainer's {{p|Raticate}}. When he attempts to return Chikorita to her [[Poké Ball]], Chikorita [[Disobedience|refuses]]. Evening comes and Ash still tries to return Chikorita to her Poké Ball. The Trainer's mother calls her son in for dinner as Ash finally is able to return Chikorita. Ash and co. go to a [[Pokémon Center]] and call {{an|Professor Oak}}. Ash tells him about the {{Badge|Zephyr}} and {{AP|Muk}} appears and smothers Oak. A short time later, all of Ash's Pokémon are eating except Chikorita. Pikachu brings a piece of Pokémon Food to Chikorita, but Chikorita bats it away with her leaf. A glasses-wearing [[Nurse Joy]] (who has a degree in Pokémon Psychology) walks up and {{an|Brock}} begins to flirt with her, but {{an|Misty}} pulls him away. Nurse Joy asks Ash some questions and tells Ash that Chikorita is jealous of Pikachu. She suggests to put Chikorita together with plants for the night to make her feel comfortable.
{{Ash}} and a {{tc|School Kid|Schoolboy}} are having a [[Pokémon battle]]. When {{AP|Chikorita}} gets tired, Ash decides to use {{AP|Pikachu}} against the Schoolboy's {{p|Raticate}}. When he attempts to return Chikorita into her {{i|Poké Ball}}, Chikorita [[Obedience|refuses]] and evades it. The Schoolboy's mother calls her son in for dinner, just as Ash is finally able to return Chikorita. Ash and {{ashfr}} go to a [[Pokémon Center]] to eat, but Chikorita doesn't participate. Pikachu tries sharing his food with Chikorita, but she bats the plate away with her leaf. Observing this, a glasses-wearing [[Nurse Joy]], who has a degree in Pokémon psychology from [[Celadon University]], walks up and requests having a counseling session with Ash, Pikachu, and Chikorita. After Ash answers several questions, Nurse Joy deduces that Chikorita is jealous of Pikachu. She escorts the group to the Center's greenhouse, and suggests putting Chikorita together with plants for the night to make her feel comfortable.


During the night, Pikachu goes to find Chikorita. As Pikachu watches, Chikorita pops out of her Poké Ball. Chikorita goes out of the Pokémon Center and Pikachu tries to stop her. Chikorita then runs off and disappears into the tall grass. She finds a warehouse to sleep in, but is awakened by four {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon; {{p|Machoke}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Primeape}}. Chikorita defeats Primeape with a {{m|Vine Whip}} and the other three kneel down and say that Chikorita is their friend.  
During the night, Pikachu approaches Chikorita in the greenhouse. As Pikachu watches, Chikorita pops out of her Poké Ball and proceeds to leave the Center. Despite Pikachu's attempts to intervene, Chikorita manages to run off, pursued by Pikachu. She soon finds a warehouse to sleep in, but is awakened by four {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon: {{p|Machoke}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}}, and {{p|Primeape}}. Chikorita attempts to ignore the Pokémon, but Primeape attacks her. Chikorita soon defeats Primeape with a {{m|Vine Whip}}, shocking the other three and causing them to kneel out of respect for Chikorita.


Ash and the gang are in the lobby the next morning looking for Chikorita. They head outside and Ash lets out {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to look for Chikorita.  
The next morning, Nurse Joy shows Ash and his friends footage from last night, which reveals that Chikorita had run away. The group begins searching, and Ash sends out {{AP|Bulbasaur}} at Brock's suggestion. Meanwhile, {{TRT}}, who is spying nearby, sees Chikorita and Pikachu's disappearances as an opportunity to capture them. [[James]] contacts {{MTR}}, who is in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|hot-air balloon]], to search for Pikachu and Chikorita. Meowth soon spots Pikachu, who is traveling through some long grass.


{{TRT}} is spying on them and [[James]] tells {{MTR}} to get ready in the balloon.
Pikachu heads inside the warehouse and finds Chikorita. She refuses to go with him when [[Jessie]] and James appear at the doorway and recite their {{motto}}. James casts a net, but Primeape knocks it back, and the other Fighting Pokémon appear. Meowth sends in a mecha constructed from old tires, which knocks the Fighting Pokémon away, and its rubber body makes Pikachu's {{t|Electric}} attacks useless. Pikachu and Chikorita are soon captured just as Ash and his friends arrive. Brock spots the mecha's antenna, which prompts Ash to send out {{AP|Heracross}}. Heracross uses its large horn to send Ash up onto the machine, but the mecha dodges and Ash lands in a pile of tires. Ash then spots a nearby water tower, and rushes up a flight of stairs to get the same height as the mecha.


Pikachu heads inside the warehouse and finds Chikorita. Chikorita refuses to go with him when [[Jessie]] and James appear at the doorway and recite their motto. Just then, Primeape leaps over and knocks the net back with Machoke, Hitmonchan, and Hitmonlee following it. Team Rocket is getting beaten as Meowth flies over and transforms the balloon into a mecha. The four Fighting-type Pokémon are unable to beat the bot and Pikachu is captured. Chikorita uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} but she is also captured. Ash sends out {{AP|Heracross}} who starts eating Bulbasaur's pollen. Heracross sends Ash up onto the machine. Meowth knocks Ash off but Chikorita catches him with a bit of difficulty. Ash pulls off the top and Jessie and James fall into the mecha. They are then blasted-off. The four Fighting-type Pokémon say good-bye to their new friend and Ash tells Pikachu good job.  
Ash jumps to reach the robot's antenna, but Meowth has the mecha move out the way and Ash is sent plummeting to the ground. However, Chikorita catches him with her vines, and with a bit of difficulty, she manages to hoist Ash up to the mecha's head. Ash yanks off the antenna dish, causing the mecha to go haywire, allowing Pikachu and Chikorita to be released. The robot grabs onto the ropes connected to the Meowth balloon, and in desperation, Meowth cuts them. Jessie and James, who were climbing the ropes, fall into the mecha's head, and Team Rocket is blasted off when it explodes. Afterwards, Chikorita decides to leave the warehouse, and the four Fighting-type Pokémon say goodbye to her.


Chikorita's jealousy subsides and she becomes friends with Pikachu. Chikorita hops on Ash's other shoulder. Ash and friends now continue on with their adventure.
Back at the Pokémon Center, Ash thanks Nurse Joy for diagnosing Chikorita's jealousy, which appears to have subsided for now. As they are about to head off, Pikachu jumps onto Ash's shoulder, and at Ash's insistence, Chikorita leaps onto the other.

Blurb

A severe case of rivalry between Pikachu and Chikorita calls for therapy sessions with Nurse Joy (schooled in Pokémon psychology at the Pokémon Institute). In such delicate matters, there's no such thing as an overnight cure, though—or is there? The following day, when Team Rocket attacks, Ash will need all his Pokémon to overcome their latest challenge.

Plot

Ash and a Schoolboy are having a Pokémon battle. When Chikorita gets tired, Ash decides to use Pikachu against the Schoolboy's Raticate. When he attempts to return Chikorita into her Poké Ball, Chikorita refuses and evades it. The Schoolboy's mother calls her son in for dinner, just as Ash is finally able to return Chikorita. Ash and his friends go to a Pokémon Center to eat, but Chikorita doesn't participate. Pikachu tries sharing his food with Chikorita, but she bats the plate away with her leaf. Observing this, a glasses-wearing Nurse Joy, who has a degree in Pokémon psychology from Celadon University, walks up and requests having a counseling session with Ash, Pikachu, and Chikorita. After Ash answers several questions, Nurse Joy deduces that Chikorita is jealous of Pikachu. She escorts the group to the Center's greenhouse, and suggests putting Chikorita together with plants for the night to make her feel comfortable.

During the night, Pikachu approaches Chikorita in the greenhouse. As Pikachu watches, Chikorita pops out of her Poké Ball and proceeds to leave the Center. Despite Pikachu's attempts to intervene, Chikorita manages to run off, pursued by Pikachu. She soon finds a warehouse to sleep in, but is awakened by four Fighting-type Pokémon: Machoke, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, and Primeape. Chikorita attempts to ignore the Pokémon, but Primeape attacks her. Chikorita soon defeats Primeape with a Vine Whip, shocking the other three and causing them to kneel out of respect for Chikorita.

The next morning, Nurse Joy shows Ash and his friends footage from last night, which reveals that Chikorita had run away. The group begins searching, and Ash sends out Bulbasaur at Brock's suggestion. Meanwhile, Team Rocket, who is spying nearby, sees Chikorita and Pikachu's disappearances as an opportunity to capture them. James contacts Meowth, who is in their hot-air balloon, to search for Pikachu and Chikorita. Meowth soon spots Pikachu, who is traveling through some long grass.

Pikachu heads inside the warehouse and finds Chikorita. She refuses to go with him when Jessie and James appear at the doorway and recite their motto. James casts a net, but Primeape knocks it back, and the other Fighting Pokémon appear. Meowth sends in a mecha constructed from old tires, which knocks the Fighting Pokémon away, and its rubber body makes Pikachu's Electric attacks useless. Pikachu and Chikorita are soon captured just as Ash and his friends arrive. Brock spots the mecha's antenna, which prompts Ash to send out Heracross. Heracross uses its large horn to send Ash up onto the machine, but the mecha dodges and Ash lands in a pile of tires. Ash then spots a nearby water tower, and rushes up a flight of stairs to get the same height as the mecha.

Afterwards, Chikorita decides to leave the warehouse, and the four Fighting-type Pokémon say goodbye to her.
