Synopsis

Template:Incomplete synopsis Hearing a rustling sound, Misty awakens to find an adorable Teddiursa that had wandered into the abandoned shack where she was putting up for the night. She is overjoyed to gain such a cuddly companion, but beginning the following day, Misty and friends face a string of troubles involving the theft of food. In all cases, the Teddiursa is quick to point out the culprits, blaming other Pokémon belonging to Ash, Misty and Brock After Teddiursa is caught it steals Ash's backpack and runsoff, only to find Team Rocket and steals the corn they are selling from them! When Ash and his friends finally find the Teddiursa (with the help of the local Officer Jenny) Ash gets his takes back his backpack and the Teddiursa evolves into an Ursaring. Hoping that the new Ursaring is more mature and can find its own food from now on Ash and friends leave to continue on their journey to Olivine town. Unknown to the group, Ursaring finds the miserable Team Rocket and tricks them with its "cuteness" (which just creeped Team Rocket out) to share their popcorn. While Team Rocket rejoices at their gain of their new, strong, friend Ursaring, the Ursaring gives the camera one final evil glance.
