Synopsis

Template:Incomplete synopsis Ash, Misty, and Brock are walking through a city on their way to Ash's next gym battle. Up ahead they see something weird poking out of a bush, and find out that it is a baby Stantler. Ash looks it up on his Pokédex while Brock attempts to lure it out. He wipes his face, rubs his back up against a tree, and gets out Pokémon food. He then notices a wound on one of the Stantler's front legs. Brock takes a bite of the food and the smell of it is carried to the Stantler. The Stantler then walks up to Brock. Much to Brock's horror, many Stantler appear from the bushes behind. The Stantler charge and Ash, Misty and Brock run with the herd of Stantler behind them. The Stantler soon leave them alone and the little Stantler goes back into the bushes. As they begin to search for the Stantler Officer Jenny approaches and takes them back to her office. Officer Jenny tells them that the herd of Stantler has been terrorizing the town.

Team Rocket are standing outside the office as the gang walk out. They perform their motto.
