44: A Chansey Operation

Pokemopolis Title: The Dodgy Doctor

Dodginess: 5/5

Animation: 4/5

Story: The scarey thing is, there are dudes like Doctor Proctor out there

Team Rocketness: Jesse the flirt

Pikachu is going through trees looking for apples, then finds one which he swallows whole. Pikachu is not feeling well and the nearest Pokémon Center is far away. The twerps take Pikachu to a hospital instead and Doctor Proctor gets the apple out.

Doctor Proctor's name in Japan is "Dr. Doku", which means "Dr. Poison". Hmmmmmmmm, and we think we are dodgy.

And he doesn't strike me as a real Doctor, firstly he uses superglue in most of his operations, secondly he seems to be THE ONLY PERSON in the entire hospital and finally he hits on both Misty and Jesse, despite being 20 and 15 years older than them both respectively.

He is then called by Nurse Joy who says there has been an accident and needs him to take care of some Pokémon because there was an accident. Some Chansey arrive and they help the Pokémon arriving to recover.

Team Rocket is there, too. Meowth has lost his charm and their other Pokémon are hurt. Their Pokémon are helped by Chansey. Meowth keeps crying because he lost his charm and Chansey kept bringing him odd things, this was a pun in the Japanese version. Meowth's charm is called a "konban" in Japanese, so Chansey keeps bringing items that rhyme or sound like "konban". First, Chansey brings him rice ("gohan"), then the board game ("go"), then a police box ("kouban"), and finally a Venonat ("Konpan").

The doctor is put to sleep by some anesthetic and while he sleeps, Team Rocket attack. They catch Ash and friends in stretchers. A Chansey stands in front of them to protect them, and Team Rocket's Pokémon will not hurt Chansey because it helped them earlier. Team Rocket get away with just a Voltorb which explodes in their faces and Meowth gets his charm back.
