Moral Learnt

Having a gift like a Internal Nurse Joy Detection System is more of a curse than a blessing


Ash wins his second battle in the rock arena, as Squirtle defeats Nidorino. After the battle, Ash decides to go off to find something to eat as he and Pikachu are both starved. He leaves his other Pokémon behind to eat as well, although Misty and Brock feel he should have taken them to a Pokémon Centre.

They catch up with Ash, Pokéballs in hand, to tell Ash to take them to the center. They cannot because the center is filled up. After deciding to go looking for another center, Ash spots a restaurant. He arrives inside to find there is plenty of food there, except he has no money.
Fortunately, they are offering free meals to participants in the Pokémon League and Ash gets the food for free. After a nice meal, and another close call for Togepi (where Pikachu saves the day as usual), they head out to notice Brock is missing. They find him out on the street watching all the Nurse Joys and Officer Jennies passing by. Brock explains to Ash about his Internal Nurse Joy Detection System, and Ash is looking up at Brock in awe and admiration, Misty rushes between them and bursts their eardrums with her inane shouting.
They then find a finger from the alley summoning them. They discover a hidden Pokémon Centre, or so they think. Then they meet Nurse James.
Yes. James, face covered, wearing a cute little short nurses uniform takes the kids to a fake Pokémon Center (the poster in the background reads "Pock Mon" as in Pocket Monsters) with a fake Nurse Joy (Nurse Joooy!). Brock doesn't react to her and guesses he must be experiencing a temporary Nurse Joy overload.
We've often wondered why Brock fails to react to Jesse, she's certainly far more attractive than Joy (Jooooy!) or Jenny, although we suppose her dominating personality shines through. James dresses as a Nurse and Jesse as Nurse Joy but when Ash, Misty and Brock make numerous references to trouble, double and being prepared, our melodramatic friends can't help but let loose with The Team Rocket motto.
Ash gives in his Pokémon, before they discover it is Team Rocket and they are getting away with Ash's Pokémon. The center turns into their balloon and they start to float away, until Onix stops them and brings back Ash's Pokémon. Then after piercing their balloon, Team Rocket is let off to blow away.

Back in the competition in the ice arena, Ash is winning until the competitor calls out an Arcanine. The battle is hard as Arcanine melts the ice all around leaving Pikachu no place to run. Pikachu dives, shocks, and wins the battle.



BEST QUOTES
"You can stuff your selfish little face after we drop your pokémon at the Pokémon Center!"
"My face is little?"



"Usually when I see a Nurse Joy I'm dizzy, I act kinda crazy, and I start talking in a really goofy voice."
"So what? That sounds like Ash all the time."
