Dodginess: 2/5

Animation: 4/5

Story: Awkward

Team Rocketness: Stop picking on them

The group stop in the forest where there is a Farfetch'd lurking around. Brock and Ash go to get some water and Misty notices a Farfetch'd. She chases it into the forest where the trainer of the Farfetch'd secretly switches bags. He is a thief who uses Farfetch'd to distract his victims.

Finally a Pokemon trainer of less than perfect moral integrity, not seen since Episode 8: The Path to the Pokemon League. He steals Misty's Pokemon (and of all of them, it's Psyduck that gets away!) and then Jesse and James' as well.

Psyduck escapes from him and gets back to Misty. Psyduck then guides them to the guy who stole her Pokémon. They have a battle with the Farfetch'd who surprises its trainer by showing it can battle by defeating Ash's Bulbasaur. Misty battles next with Psyduck. Farfetch'd strikes Psyduck on the head repeatedly until it's headache is bad enough and it uses a disable attack. The boy realizes his wrong and hands the stolen Pokémon over to Officer Jenny. He promises to lead a better life training his Farfetch'd and catching Pokémon rather then stealing them. After getting all The Pokemon back, Officer Jenny says there is no need to press charges.... just what the hell does she do, anyway?

NOTE: In Japan this episode was aired after Princess Vs. Princess, but, in the US we put it before so, when Jessie lost her Poke-balls she yelled out Arbok and Lickitung.
