Of Meowth and Pokémon (Japanese: 出会いのミレニアムタウン The Millennium Town Meetup) is episode seventeen of Pokémon Chronicles, and the sixth side story episode of Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station in Japan. It was first broadcast in Japan on March 4, 2003, in the UK on September 14, 2005, and in the USA on October 7, 2006.
Synopsis
The Pichu bros wake up on top of a nearby building. They yawn and stretch out. One of them hears someone calling and they run off to find it. Nearby, a Smoochum is applying some much needed makeup. It hears the call and rushes off too. Soon, a Wooper, Magby, and Teddiursa join in the rush.
The source of the calling is an Azumarill. It happily calls out while holding a tray of acorns. The Pokemon line up to get some, but Teddiursa trips, causing a domino fall to Azumarill. It falls also and the acorns go tumbling down the hill. They all freak out and prepare to retrieve the nuts when a car drives by, smashing them all. The non-haired Pichu bro becomes mad and yells at Teddiursa. It then folds its arms and gives it a mean look. All the Pokemon begin to laugh at how tough it's trying to act.
Meanwhile, Meowth enjoys a nice cat nap at the top room of a large building. A weird system of contraptions pours him a cup of coffee and he wakes up. He puts a bath robe on and looks out the window, exclaiming that he has this whole city to enjoy! The narrator then reminds him of his hunger, and Meowth wonders what he'll eat. He then remembers the picnic basket he packed and sits in a chair. He takes off his robe and begins to talk with an imaginary maid who he switches between. After the "maid" gets his picnic basket, he decides to take a stroll to the park.
He walks along an alley without a care in the world. Teddiursa also walks down this alley, a little bummed at the loss of the acorn. It then smells Meowth picnic basket and forgets all about it. Meowth makes it to the edge of the alley that overlooks the city. He daydreams about the people placing a giant Meowth statue in the middle, and soon realizes Teddirusa is sniffing his food. He yells at it, telling it to go away and it can't have any. Teddiursa sadly shoves off.
As Meowth hugs his precious picnic basket, Smoochum comes running it with an identical one. It accidentally bumps into him and the two baskets are thrown together. Smoochum yells to Meowth, telling it to watch where he's going. It then grabs a basket and leaves. Meowth is a little aggravated, and he is soon in tears when he discovers his basket is just a bunch of cosmetics. The scene rewinds to show how the baskets must've switched, and Meowth rushes off to find Smoochum.
Smoochum happily skips through an alley when Meowth comes racing behind it. Thinking Meowth is insane, Smoochum rushes off as fast as it can. Meowth chases it, but it ducks under a hole in a fence. Meowth crashes into it and falls down. Little Torchics run around his dazed head. Smoochum enters the tire playground from the third mini movie where the Pichu bros and the other Pokemon are playing. It explains the situation to them, and Meowth enters, exclaiming that he wants that basket. Smoochum throws it to one of the Pichu and it rushes up the slide.
Meowth chases it up there, and the Pichu is having trouble climbing higher. It then throws the basket to Magby, who rushes off. Meowth jumps down and psychotically follows. After some running, Magby tosses the basket to the other Pichu. It runs from Meowth, but soon trips. Meowth laughs, exclaiming that he finally has his basket. Wooper then water guns it over a fence. Meowth is now insane with anger and rushes to get it, dropping Smoochum's basket. The Pokemon see this and Smoochum recalls the mix up. The haired Pichu bro then says they should go help out Meowth.
In the alley just outside the fence, Meowth is reunited with his picnic basket. He hugs it passionately, and then starts to walk off. He then accidentally steps on a sleeping Houndour's head and freezes with fear. The Pokemon lunges and Meowth runs for his life; dropping the basket in the process.
Meanwhile, Teddiursa stares at a cake in a shop window; obviously very hungry. Suddenly, the picnic basket lands on its head and it spies the food inside. The Pichu bros and their friends listen to Meowth get his rear end kicked from a hole in the fence. He appears seconds later, beaten and injured. Teddiursa then shows up and Meowth angrily grabs the picnic basket, but finds everything has been eaten! He sighs as Teddiursa explains how good the food was. He then collapses on the ground as the scene rises to the sky.
