Pokémon: Ignorance Is Blissey

Team Rocket can't believe their luck when the Blissey employed in a Pokémon Center willingly gives them the center's entire food supply. As they abscond with the grub, however, an collective pang of conscience tells them to return their ill-gotten booty. However, they are ashamed lest this act of decency ruin their carefully cultivated reputation as troublemakers.

Recap

Ash and co. are dragging their feet through a place called Happy Town. It is night, and they are hungry and tired. Up ahead, Ash sees a Pokémon Center, and the three of them run to it. Unfortunately, the doors to the Pokémon Center are locked. Ash knocks on the door rapidly. Suddenly, the doors open, and a Blissey comes out. Ash forgives the Blissey for knocking him down. Then Ash looks up Blissey in his Pokédex. Ash's stomach growls because he is hungry. Blissey leads Ash and co. inside the Pokémon Center. Then Blissey goes into the kitchen and prepares a meal for them. Blissey comes out with a stack of trays. Each tray has food on it. Blissey then begins to run towards Ash and co. Ash and co. run away from Blissey because Blissey might spill the food. Ash trips and falls to the ground. Blissey bumps into Ash, and all the food tumbles down on him. Blissey apologizes to Ash. Ash says that it isn't a problem...
