Recap
Ash and co. are headed for another city while on their way to Violet City. They are making their way through a shortcut. Pikachu senses something in the bushes. Something that looks like eyes comes out. Brock tells the group that those aren't eyes. Finally, the thing comes out. It is a Stantler, and its horns were mistaken for eyes. Ash looks up Stantler in his Pokédex. Misty wonders what Stantler is doing in the city. Brock says that this Stantler is still young and probably got lost. Brock then kneels down to the ground and starts to act like a Stantler. He tells Ash and Misty that in order to get close to a Stantler, you have to act like one. When Brock gets closer to Stantler, Stantler gets a bit creeped out and backs away. Suddenly, Brock sees that Stantler's leg is injured. He offers Stantler some food. Stantler then sends out a purple aroma which smells very refreshing. Ash and co. snaps out of their trance from the aroma. They see a herd of Stantler behind Brock. Brock runs from the baby Stantler with Ash and Misty following him. The herd begins to chase them down. A few seconds later, Ash and co. stop for a rest. They notice that the herd isn't anywhere in sight. Brock hopes that the Stantler's mother can take care of it. Then another rustle in the bushes occur. Thinking that it might be the herd, Ash and co. stand guard. However, Officer Jenny pops out. She tells them that they need to fill out a report at the station...
