Synopsis
While Ash and his friends continue to make their way for the Violet City Gym, they find themselves looking for a place to spend the night in a quiet area called Happy Town. Tired, hungry, and dirty, Ash knocks on the door of a locked Pokémon center, and to his surprise, is greeted by a Blissey. After noticing Ash's hunger, Blissey tries to give Ash some sweets, but ends up spilling it on Ash, and while washing off, Blissey suggests that she wash his back, but ends up scratching him, and while she tries to attend to the scratch, she puts too much alcohol on him, and at the end of the sequence of events, he is in a full-body cast for one scene. Nurse Joy wakes up eventually and apologizes for her Blissey's trouble.
Outside, Team Rocket is just as hungry as Ash's party. James devises a plan to sneak into the Pokémon Center and steal some Pokémon and some food, but once they get inside, they find themselves in an empty kitchen with nothing to eat. Meowth finds some parsnip in the fridge, but refuses to share it and runs off. Jessie goes looking for him, but finds Blissey in the hallway. Blissey tackles Jessie in joy, but Jessie notices the Blissey's necklace; it's in the shape of the top of a broken egg, which Jessie pulls out the bottom half to it and connects the pieces:
Jessie went to a Chansey Pokémon Medical School, and Jessie was the only human in the class, the rest were Chansey. She failed the class due to her inability to soothe Pokémon like the Chansey could, and so when her roommate and her best friend, another Chansey, graduated from medical school, she gave Jessie half of her egg necklace so they would always remember each other.
Overjoyed, the Blissey satisfies Team Rocket's hunger by giving them boxes of food from the Pokémon Center stockpile. But because of her given bounty, Ash and his friends are only given a meager breakfast the next morning. Ash complains to Nurse Joy who reviews the security cameras to see who took the food, and she catches Blissey on tape. Nurse Joy wants Blissey to confess what she did with the food and if she doesn't, it could end her career as a nurse.
Overlooking the scene, Team Rocket devise a plan to get Blissey out of trouble, and they decide to go back and tell them they tricked Blissey into giving them food. Once they've gotten everyone's attention, they demand that all of the Pokémon in the Pokémon Center be handed over to them. While Ash and Nurse Joy argue with them, Blissey comes outside and runs to greet Jessie. Jessie pleads that Blissey not reveal their friendship, and in an attempt to save Blissey's job, she sends out Arbok and Lickitung to keep Blissey at a distance, but even after this, Blissey still wants to be with Jessie, so Jessie forces herself to order Arbok and Lickitung to attack Blissey.
But immediately, Blissey is on her feet and walks toward Jessie again, still unaware of why Jessie wants to keep their distance. Jessie then orders her Pokémon to attack Blissey again, but lightly. But even after that, Blissey limps toward Jessie, refusing to turn away. Then, Jessie shoots the ground with some sort of gun, and threatens to hit her if she comes any closer. James begins to insult Ash because he's letting a Blissey do all the fighting, and then Meowth uses a pair of grabbers to steal Pikachu, but Pikachu immediately uses ThunderShock to release himself.
Nurse Joy then runs to Blissey and apologizes for doubting her, even for a minute. Blissey then looks to Jessie, who puts her finger over her mouth to symbolize that it's a secret. Still hungry, Ash sends out Squirtle and Chikorita to retrieve the food. Pikachu uses a Thunderbolt on Arbok, Chikorita uses a Vine Whip on Lickitung, and Squirtle blasts a Water Gun at Jessie, James, and Meowth, who run to the balloon right after the attack, but Chikorita uses a Razor Leaf to cut the food from the balloon and to put a hole in it, sending the food to the ground and sending Team Rocket blasting off again.
The episode ends with Blissey finally serving a whole meal to Ash and his friends.
