Synopsis

After Pikachu gets an apple stuck in its throat Ash and the others go to find a Pokémon Center, but with none in sight they go to a local human hospital where they meet Dr. Proctor, at first he seems unwilling to help, but after some convincing he agrees to help Pikachu and successfully removes the apple. Later, a phone call tells the doctor that an ambulance containing numerous injured Pokémon crashed and their too far from the Pokémon center. The Pokémon are in dire need of medical attention, so they are sent to Dr. Proctor's hospital instead. With the help from Ash, Misty and Brock and a reluctant Team Rocket they manage to pull through. However, in the end, Team Rocket attempts to steal all the injured Pokémon, but as a result, as always, they fail and blast off again. At the end of the show, Ash and the others say goodbye to the good doctor and his Chansey nurses.

Errors

• While Misty and Jessie are trying to help a Voltorb caught in a Weepinbell, Doctor Proctor tells Jessie that Voltorb can self-destruct, to which she seems not to know. However, Jessie saw several Voltorb self-destruct when Ash battled Koga.

Dub edits

• In the Kids' WB! version, the scene where Dr. Proctor is injected with the anesthetic is cut. However, in every other version, including the one that airs on Cartoon Network, the scene is kept in.
• On that same note, the sound effects are kept in, and the anesthetic scene is frozen.
• In the dub, after getting injected with the anesthetic, Dr. Proctor goes to sleep for six hours. In the original, he sleeps for about nine hours.
