== Synopsis ==
Something gets stuck in {{AP|Pikachu}}'s throat which is making its voice sound weird. [[Brock]] quickly suggests to take Pikachu to the Pokémon Center. They run down the path to look for a Pokémon Center, but there isn't one for miles. They eventually reach a hospital for humans and asks help from the doctor in charge there. {{Ash}}'s plead had no effect on the doctor, but when [[Misty]] starts pleading, the doctor gave in, saying that he can't resist a pretty face. After checking on Pikachu, the doctor states that there was something stuck in Pikachu's throat. The doctor manages to remove the thing in its throat, which happens to be an apple.


The phone then starts ringing. Brock answers the call and learns that it's [[Nurse Joy]]. She informs Brock that there has been an accident and the Pokémon are in dire need of medical attention. The extra room of the hospital is needed. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are at the scene of the accident, with Jessie and James having a heated argument. Meowth is feeling down because the charm on his head is missing. Nurse Joy asks Dr. Proctor for his help. Instead of answering the nurse seriously, he asks her out, making her angry. After that, the doctor gives everyone their uniforms and equipment, saying that he needs their help because he is short on staff. When the injured Pokémon arrives, everyone starts working. Ash calls out his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to hold down {{p|Cubone}} who keeps on struggling in pain. Misty comforts it and successfully calms it down. Dr. Proctor says that Misty is a natural.

==Plot==
{{AP|Pikachu}} is climbing in a tree when something gets stuck in his throat. {{an|Brock}} quickly suggests that they take Pikachu to see a doctor. They search for a [[Pokémon Center]], but there isn't one for miles. They eventually reach a hospital for humans and ask for help from a doctor. They find one, [[Dr. Proctor]] but the doctor doesn't pay much attention to {{Ash}}'s pleas. However, when {{an|Misty}} starts pleading, the doctor gives in, stating that he can't resist a pretty face. Thinking Misty is the one in need of help, the doctor asks her what the problem was. After explaining that Pikachu was the sick one, Ash once again asks for help. Although a hospital for humans, the doctor reluctantly agrees to help. After checking on Pikachu, the doctor manages to remove the object from his throat, which is revealed to be an apple.
 
The phone then starts ringing; when the doctor refuses to answer, saying he is off duty, Brock answers for him and learns it is [[Nurse Joy]]. She informs the group that there has been a violent accident involving a truck of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} stolen by {{TRT}}, and the Pokémon are in dire need of medical attention. With the Pokémon Center at full capacity, the extra room in the hospital is needed. Instead of giving Nurse Joy a serious answer, Brock asks her out, making her angry. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is at the scene of the accident, with [[Jessie]] blaming [[James]] for the accident, while {{MTR}} is feeling down because the charm on his head is missing. Back at the hospital, the doctor gives hospital uniforms to Ash and {{ashfr}} to wear, as well as medical equipment, saying that he needs their help due to a staff shortage. When the injured Pokémon arrive on stretchers pushed by {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}}, everyone starts working. Ash calls out his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to hold down {{p|Cubone}}, who is struggling in pain. Misty then comforts it and successfully calms it down.
 
Team Rocket comes in, bringing more patients, namely [[Jessie's Arbok]] and a {{p|Raticate}}. The doctor asks Jessie on a date and she is impressed, but Ash urges the doctor not to help Team Rocket. However, Dr. Proctor explains that it is his job to heal, not to judge.


[[Team Rocket]] comes in, bringing more patients, namely Jessie's {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and a {{p|Raticate}}. The doctor proceeds on asking Jessie out for some pizza. Jessie is impressed with the doctor. Ash comes and tells the doctor not to help Team Rocket, but Dr. Proctor explains that it was his job to heal not to judge.  
Everyone, including Jessie and James, work collaboratively to help all the injured Pokémon. There is a {{p|Dodrio}} in need of untangling, so the doctor prepares an anesthetic injection to calm it down. The Dodrio lunges at Dr. Proctor, causing the doctor to inadvertently stab himself with the anesthetic needle and fall asleep. With no doctor on hand, Ash decides to weaken Dodrio with his own Pokémon. He has {{AP|Squirtle}} use {{m|Water Gun}} followed by Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Caught up in the moment, Ash pulls out a {{i|Poké Ball}} to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} the Pokémon, though Brock intervenes, reminding Ash that they are there to help the Pokémon, not catch them.


On the other hand, {{MTR}} is still stressing over the lost of his charm. {{p|Chansey}} tries to cheer him up but did not succeed.
Later, Jessie and James decide that they are going to steal all of the injured Pokémon. They take off their hospital uniforms and start reciting their {{motto}}. However, Meowth unexpectedly interrupts them, still mourning the loss of his charm. Jessie and James try to hold back Ash and his friends with a "stretcher catcher" contraption. Chansey faces James, who threatens Ash with a big needle. Jessie and James command Arbok and {{TP|James|Weezing}} to attack Chansey, but the Pokémon refuse. Dr. Proctor, who has just awoken, states that Arbok and Weezing will not attack Chansey because they were cared for by it when they were injured. Getting angry, Jessie throws a beaker at him, but Dr. Proctor simply cuts it in half using a scalpel. Dr. Proctor then shows them his arsenal of sharp tools, such as shots, scissors, and scalpels. Ash and his friends are freed by the Chansey. Team Rocket runs out of the building being chased by the "stretcher catchers" that Ash and his friends had pushed their way. Team Rocket then end up blasting off when the Voltorb that James sneaked away with {{m|Self-Destruct|self-destructs}}. Upon landing, Meowth is ecstatic to find his charm pop out of his head, where it had been all along.
Everyone is busy helping all the injured Pokémon, even Jessie and James pitch in. They are all working together diligently. Later on, while treatment is still going on, Jessie and James decide to steal all the injured Pokémon. They take off the uniforms and starts reciting their motto. They didn't manage to finish it because Meowth unexpectedly interrupts them. Jessie and James tries to stop Ash, Misty and Brock. Chansey faces James, who threatens Ash with a big needle. He commands Arbok and then Weezing to attack Chansey, but they didn't budge one bit. Dr. Proctor states that Arbok and {{TP|James|Weezing}} will not attack Chansey because they were indebted to it. Getting angry, Jessie throws a beaker at him, but Dr. Proctor simply cuts it in half using a scalpel. Team Rocket runs out of the building when Ash and his friends push the stretchers towards them. Team Rock ends up blasting off when the {{p|Voltorb}} that James took self-destruct. Upon landing, the charm on Meowth's head pops out, making him very happy.  


With the Pokémon all treated, Dr. Proctor tell Ash and his friends that they should be doctors and asks them if they want to stay and train. Misty states her interest in becoming a doctor but she still has a lot to learn about water Pokémon. Ash and friend then bid farewell to the good doctor and continue on their journey.
With all the Pokémon successfully treated, Dr. Proctor suggests that Ash and his friends become doctors, offering them training. Misty shows interest, but adds that she still has a lot to learn about {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Ash and his friends ultimately bid farewell to Dr. Proctor and set out to continue their journey.

Blurb

As our heroes sleep peacefully, Pikachu begins experiencing an unusual sensation. As though it were choking on something, Pikachu's expression grows steadily more and more pained. It seems there's nothing left to do but take Pikachu to a Pokémon Center immediately. Ash takes off running, carrying Pikachu over his shoulder, but the Pokémon Center is quite a distance away. Ash decides to take Pikachu to a nearby emergency room, but when he arrives, a sign hangs on the hospital door coldly stating, Hospital Closed Today. Is there any help for Pikachu?

Plot

Pikachu is climbing in a tree when something gets stuck in his throat. Brock quickly suggests that they take Pikachu to see a doctor. They search for a Pokémon Center, but there isn't one for miles. They eventually reach a hospital for humans and ask for help from a doctor. They find one, Dr. Proctor but the doctor doesn't pay much attention to Ash's pleas. However, when Misty starts pleading, the doctor gives in, stating that he can't resist a pretty face. Thinking Misty is the one in need of help, the doctor asks her what the problem was. After explaining that Pikachu was the sick one, Ash once again asks for help. Although a hospital for humans, the doctor reluctantly agrees to help. After checking on Pikachu, the doctor manages to remove the object from his throat, which is revealed to be an apple.

The phone then starts ringing; when the doctor refuses to answer, saying he is off duty, Brock answers for him and learns it is Nurse Joy. She informs the group that there has been a violent accident involving a truck of Pokémon stolen by Team Rocket, and the Pokémon are in dire need of medical attention. With the Pokémon Center at full capacity, the extra room in the hospital is needed. Instead of giving Nurse Joy a serious answer, Brock asks her out, making her angry. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is at the scene of the accident, with Jessie blaming James for the accident, while Meowth is feeling down because the charm on his head is missing. Back at the hospital, the doctor gives hospital uniforms to Ash and his friends to wear, as well as medical equipment, saying that he needs their help due to a staff shortage. When the injured Pokémon arrive on stretchers pushed by Chansey, everyone starts working. Ash calls out his Bulbasaur to hold down Cubone, who is struggling in pain. Misty then comforts it and successfully calms it down.

Team Rocket comes in, bringing more patients, namely Jessie's Arbok and a Raticate. The doctor asks Jessie on a date and she is impressed, but Ash urges the doctor not to help Team Rocket. However, Dr. Proctor explains that it is his job to heal, not to judge.

Everyone, including Jessie and James, work collaboratively to help all the injured Pokémon. There is a Dodrio in need of untangling, so the doctor prepares an anesthetic injection to calm it down. The Dodrio lunges at Dr. Proctor, causing the doctor to inadvertently stab himself with the anesthetic needle and fall asleep. With no doctor on hand, Ash decides to weaken Dodrio with his own Pokémon. He has Squirtle use Water Gun followed by Pikachu's Thunderbolt. Caught up in the moment, Ash pulls out a Poké Ball to catch the Pokémon, though Brock intervenes, reminding Ash that they are there to help the Pokémon, not catch them.

Later, Jessie and James decide that they are going to steal all of the injured Pokémon. They take off their hospital uniforms and start reciting their motto. However, Meowth unexpectedly interrupts them, still mourning the loss of his charm. Jessie and James try to hold back Ash and his friends with a "stretcher catcher" contraption. Chansey faces James, who threatens Ash with a big needle. Jessie and James command Arbok and Weezing to attack Chansey, but the Pokémon refuse. Dr. Proctor, who has just awoken, states that Arbok and Weezing will not attack Chansey because they were cared for by it when they were injured. Getting angry, Jessie throws a beaker at him, but Dr. Proctor simply cuts it in half using a scalpel. Dr. Proctor then shows them his arsenal of sharp tools, such as shots, scissors, and scalpels. Ash and his friends are freed by the Chansey. Team Rocket runs out of the building being chased by the "stretcher catchers" that Ash and his friends had pushed their way. Team Rocket then end up blasting off when the Voltorb that James sneaked away with self-destructs. Upon landing, Meowth is ecstatic to find his charm pop out of his head, where it had been all along.

With all the Pokémon successfully treated, Dr. Proctor suggests that Ash and his friends become doctors, offering them training. Misty shows interest, but adds that she still has a lot to learn about Water-type Pokémon. Ash and his friends ultimately bid farewell to Dr. Proctor and set out to continue their journey.
