==Synopsis==
==Blurb==
The [[Pichu Brothers]] wake up on top of a nearby building. They yawn and stretch out. One of them hears someone calling and they run off to find it. Nearby, a {{p|Smoochum}} is applying some much needed makeup. It hears the call and rushes off too. Soon, a {{p|Wooper}}, {{p|Magby}}, and {{p|Teddiursa}} join in the rush.
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-0/episode-21-chronicles-21-big-meowth-little-dreams/-->
The source of the calling is an {{p|Azumarill}}. It happily calls out while holding a tray of acorns. The Pokémon line up to get some, but Teddiursa trips, causing a domino fall to Azumarill. It falls also and the acorns go tumbling down the hill. They all freak out and prepare to retrieve the nuts when a car drives by, smashing them all. The non-haired Pichu bro becomes mad and yells at Teddiursa. It then folds its arms and gives it a mean look. All the Pokémon begin to laugh at how tough it's trying to act.
<i>Meowth wants to enjoy the last days of its vacation with a picnic lunch in the park. But Meowth's sandwich starts floating in the air, and it zooms away when Meowth tries to chase it! Meowth chases the sandwich through the park and runs right through the special reception Azumarill is preparing for Azurill, who is coming from out of down. After a commotion like that, all the Pokémon friends end up chasing the sandwich! When the sandwich goes flying, Teddiursa catches it and gobbles it down in one gulp. The other Pokémon spot a footprint that suggests it was an invisible Pokémon who first swiped the sandwich, but who?
Meanwhile, Meowth enjoys a nice cat nap at the top room of a large building. A weird system of contraptions pours him a cup of coffee and he wakes up. He puts a bath robe on and looks out the window, exclaiming that he has this whole city to enjoy! The narrator then reminds him of his hunger, and Meowth wonders what he'll eat. He then remembers the picnic basket he packed and sits in a chair. He takes off his robe and begins to talk with an imaginary maid who he switches between. After the "maid" gets his picnic basket, he decides to take a stroll to the park.
 
He walks along an alley without a care in the world. Teddiursa also walks down this alley, a little bummed at the loss of the acorn. It then smells Meowth's picnic basket and forgets all about it. Meowth makes it to the edge of the alley that overlooks the city. He daydreams about the people placing a giant Meowth statue in the middle, and soon realizes Teddiursa is sniffing his food. He yells at it, telling it to go away and it can't have any. Teddiursa sadly shoves off.
Just then, Meowth sees a strange red stripe floating by. This must be the invisible Pokémon! One of the Pichu Bros. asks a Smeargle for help, and Smeargle throws paint around until the invisible Pokémon is covered in paint and plain to see. It's a Kecleon! Kecleon runs away, but its paint-covered footsteps lead the others to an empty pipe. Inside the pipe are Kecleon and the Azurill that Azumarill was waiting for: Kecleon was stealing the food for Azurill! Once everything is cleared up, the Pokémon settle down to a delicious picnic with friends.
As Meowth hugs his precious picnic basket, Smoochum comes running to it with an identical one. It accidentally bumps into him and the two baskets are thrown together. Smoochum yells to Meowth, telling it to watch where he's going. It then grabs a basket and leaves. Meowth is a little aggravated, and he is soon in tears when he discovers his basket is just a bunch of cosmetics. The scene rewinds to show how the baskets must've switched, and Meowth rushes off to find Smoochum.
 
Smoochum happily skips through an alley when Meowth comes racing behind it. Thinking Meowth is insane, Smoochum rushes off as fast as it can. Meowth chases it, but it ducks under a hole in a fence. Meowth crashes into it and falls down. Little {{p|Torchic}} run around his dazed head. Smoochum enters the tire playground from the third mini movie where the Pichu bros and the other Pokemon are playing. It explains the situation to them, and Meowth enters, exclaiming that he wants that basket. Smoochum throws it to one of the Pichu and it rushes up the slide.
The next day, the Pichu Bros. are helping Azumarill look after Azurill. But as soon as they take their eyes off the little Pokémon, it disappears! The Pichu Bros. gather all of their friends to help them find Azurill. Even though they can see it, they can hardly catch up as it bounces all over town! Not far away, Meowth is trying to win a pretty Skitty's heart with roses when Azurill bounces past, switching Meowth's roses for a bundle of laundry. Skitty is not impressed.
Meowth chases it up there, and the Pichu is having trouble climbing higher. It then throws the basket to Magby, who rushes off. Meowth jumps down and psychotically follows. After some running, Magby tosses the basket to the other Pichu. It runs from Meowth, but soon trips. Meowth laughs, exclaiming that he finally has his basket. Wooper then {{m|Water Gun}}s it over a fence. Meowth is now insane with anger and rushes to get it, dropping Smoochum's basket. The Pokemon see this and Smoochum recalls the mix up. The haired Pichu bro then says they should go help out Meowth.
 
In the alley just outside the fence, Meowth is reunited with his picnic basket. He hugs it passionately, and then starts to walk off. He then accidentally steps on a sleeping Houndour's head and freezes with fear. The Pokémon lunges and Meowth runs for his life; dropping the basket in the process.  
For Meowth's next attempt at romance, it tries to give Skitty a cake, but Azurill steals the cake and eats it. Then Meowth sings a romantic serenade, only to have Azurill ruin this chance at love, too! That's when the Pokémon pals show up and grab Azurill, while Meowth ends up stuck under a Snorlax. So much for love; Meowth decides to settle for a nice, peaceful nap instead!</i>
Meanwhile, Teddiursa stares at a cake in a shop window; obviously very hungry. Suddenly, the picnic basket lands on its head and it spies the food inside. The Pichu bros and their friends listen to Meowth get his rear end kicked from a hole in the fence. He appears seconds later, beaten and injured. Teddiursa then shows up and Meowth angrily grabs the picnic basket, but finds everything has been eaten! He sighs as Teddiursa explains how good the food was. He then collapses on the ground as the scene rises to the sky.
 
It's another beautiful day in the big city as Meowth happily strolls down the street. He looks around at the many food posters and remembers his picnic basket. He gets a little angry, and then decides he wants a pizza. He gets a job as a pizza delivery boy, and the owner hands him some pizzas. He then gets a plan to get the job done quicker.
==Plot==
Meowth goes to the tire playground and the Pokémon gather round. Teddiursa smells the pizzas and tries to grab one, but Meowth tells it to back off. He then tells them that when he gets done with his deliveries, they can all enjoy some pizza, and as planned, the Pokemon offer to help. Meowth grins and hands each Pokemon an address and a pizza. The Pichu Brothers fight over who gets to carry their pizza, but the haired one ends up winning. Meowth laughs out loud, exclaiming that with the Pokemon delivering the pizzas, he won't have too.
The episode begins with a view of the big city. A {{p|Wingull}} hovers above and flies down into a park. {{p|Meowth}} just happens to be in this park. He looks up at all the buildings, exclaiming how much he loves the city. He then opens his picnic basket and begins to eat. He takes out a sub sandwich and places it down. After some time, he looks over to a nearby {{p|Tauros}} statue and begins to daydream of people placing a giant golden Meowth statue up just for him.
Smoochum runs down the street carrying its pizza. It turns a corner to find the road is blocked. Suddenly, a sewer erupts in front of it and a {{p|Squirtle}} wearing the same shades as [[Ash's Squirtle]] jumps out. Two more erupt form sewers surrounding Smoochum. The leader explains that it has entered their territory. Smoochum tries to run, but they surround it and water gun it to death. Smoochum goes flying sky high and is about to fall on Wooper. Wooper notices this and tries to Water Gun it away, but it doesn't work. Both Pokémon lay on the ground stunned with their now soggy pizzas next to them.
 
Teddiursa strolls down the street as well. It then realizes it's hungry and looks around to make sure no one is looking. It then sits by some trash cans and prepares to chow down, but a Snorlax sleeping in the alley rolls over on top of it! Meanwhile, the Pichu bros are still delivering their pizza.
As he dreams, he reaches to take a bite of his sandwich, but chows down on only his hand! He freaks out and blows on it, obviously hurting. He then looks over to see his sandwich hovering in midair. Meowth thinks he's just hallucinating and goes to grab the sandwich, but it slides away. He tries again, but his sandwich then takes off running! Meowth gets mad and chases it, now revealing that a red stripe seems to be carrying the sandwich.
They take a short cut through an alley and find a fence blocking their way. The other Pichu snatches the pizza from the other and jumps on a board. The box on the other end flies up then crashes back down, sending Pichu sailing over the fence. It thinks it has landed safely, but it landed right on {{p|Houndour}}'s head! It runs off as the other Pichu makes it over the fence. It calls to its brother and the two run as fast as they can as the Houndour gives chase.
Up above, one of the [[Pichu Brothers]] is collecting berries in a tree. It looks down to see Meowth chasing his sandwich. After watching for some time, {{p|Pichu}}'s brother slides down to see what's going on. They both watch Meowth give chase and decide to help out. They slide down the tree and rush after him.
Magby is looking at its address, wondering how to get there. The Pichu Brothers suddenly smash into it, sending both their pizzas flying. The pizzas smack into Houndour but it keeps coming. Magby is now aggravated, and it prepares a {{m|Flamethrower}}. The Pichu Brothers dodge and the attack smashes Houndour right in the face, making a huge explosion. Houndour sits there stunned, burnt to a crisp. It then yelps and rushes off.  
 
The Pokémon return to Meowth with their destroyed pizzas. Meowth freaks out, knowing he'll never get his pizza now. He returns to the pizza parlor, and in turn is fired. The Pokemon watch as the owner kicks him out. He then gets a job cleaning the park. The Pichu Brothers peek out from behind a tree, and Meowth just thinks he's seeing things. All of the Pokémon then appear, and Meowth freaks out, telling them to leave before they cause trouble again. The Pokémon all pull out brooms and offer to do his work for him.
Meanwhile, {{p|Azumarill}} is happily preparing a table for a lunch with its visiting friend {{p|Azurill}}. It places some flowers in a vase and steps back, knowing it's perfect. A {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Magby}}, and {{p|Wooper}} watch it. Suddenly, the sandwich floats by followed by a very angry Meowth. He leaps onto the table and smashes it before continuing his hunt. Azumarill is now angry, and gives Meowth a mad look.
Meowth lounges on a bench, happy that he can relax. The Pichu Brothers dust a window when one yawns. They talk for a little bit, and then head away from the window. Meowth is now sipping coffee and relaxing further. He then spots the Pichu Brothers on a statue of a crescent moon on a globe. The moon is held from falling off by strings, but it begins to rock back and forth at the Pichu's cleaning.  
 
Meowth rushes over there and one jumps off, exclaiming that they are almost done. Meowth notices the other Pichu still on and sees the ropes break on the opposite side of it. He lunges and grabs them before the moon falls off. He now hangs dangling from the ropes as the crescent moon teeters back and forth. The Pichu flies off and sparks a bit. Wooper's Water Gun goes haywire, and it smashes Magby in the face. It gets mad again and uses Flamethrower, striking the ropes and burning them away. The crescent moon falls into some pillars, which in turn create a domino effect. Pillar after pillar falls over; the last smashing into the pool and breaking the fountain. The area floods and the Pokémon are all washed away. The scene zooms out to show that this park was actually on top of a building; which is now leaking water down its sides.
It then begins to pick up the mess, but Meowth returns when his sandwich passes by. This time he smashes the whole table! Azumarill calls out to him and he apologizes, saying he wouldn't be in such a rush if his sandwich wasn't. The sandwich turns around and rushes towards the other Pokémon, then veers left. The other Pokémon decide to help and they chase after it, knocking Azumarill down. Now it is extremely mad, and it begins trying to {{m|Water Gun}} them. Meowth tells it to stop and ducks, but Azumarill is too mad.
Meowth then gets the boot from that job too. He now sits in a nearby park, very depressed. The Pokémon group shows up again and he freaks out, but they just hold out a bunch of acorns for him. Meowth is in tears at how they still want to help him and he chows down on one. As soon as he puts it in his mouth, Meowth realizes acorns taste bad. He still wants to be polite and pretends he likes them. He takes another one and reluctantly puts it in. The Pokémon all happily watch him eat as the scene rises.
 
Meanwhile, {{p|Teddiursa}} is also in the park. It digs on the ground and finds some acorn shells, but to its dismay, they are empty. It then hears some commotion and turns to see many Pokémon chasing a floating sandwich. The stripe trips on a rock and the sandwich flies into Teddiursa's mouth. Meowth freaks out as the little bear chows down on his flying food. He tackles it and begins to knock it around. He smashes Teddiursa's head against the ground and tries to get his sandwich back, but it is long gone.
 
The Pichu Bros. discover a footprint in the ground and wonder what it could belong too. Meowth inspects it with a magnifying glass, and soon everyone is sitting down wondering who the print belongs too. Meowth exclaims that when he figures it out, the owner will pay for his stolen sandwich. He sits on the ground and begins to think, but isn't having much luck. He begins to inspect the other Pokémon's feet, finding no matches.
 
Suddenly, the stripe waddles by. The Pichu Bros. point it out and a sweat drop appears above it. All the Pokémon begin to chase it through the park, knowing that it is the culprit. After some time, the stripe runs into a stadium. The Pokémon follow, but find the stadium is full of multicolored stripe paintings. The group looks down to see a {{p|Smeargle}} happily painting the walls next to a bushel of apples. At first Meowth doesn't know what to do, but then it sees one of the apples float. Meowth tries to follow it, but it disappears. While Meowth tries to locate it, Pichu Big tells the Smeargle to splash the paint on its tail everywhere. The invisible Pokémon is revealed to be a {{p|Kecleon}}. Thinking it is still invisible, Kecleon tries to tip-toe away. Taking advantage of this, Meowth purposefully bumps into and steps over the Pokémon.
 
The Pokémon crowd around and Meowth tells it that he has caught it. Smeargle then show its tail, and Kecleon looks at its paint-covered hands. The Pokémon all give chase as Kecleon starts to scurry. But it disappears again. Meowth then notices a trail of yellow footprints, so they decide to follow them. After some time, the group comes to a concrete tube where the prints lead inside. They peer in to see the Kecleon taking care of Azurill. It opens its mouth and feeds it the apple. Meowth realizes that it only took the sandwich to feed it and he starts to understand. This Azurill was the same one visiting Azumarill.
 
Meanwhile, Azumarill has finally redecorated its table. Kecleon approaches with Azurill, and it happily leaps into its arms. The two Pokémon hug. Meowth then asks Kecleon how it met Azurill. Kecleon then explains how it was walking along in the rain and found Azurill cold and hungry. It was obviously lost, so it took care of it by feeding and sheltering it in the drain pipe. Meowth then understands why Kecleon was taking food. It knew Azurill would be hungry when it awoke.
 
Azumarill thanks Kecleon and invites the whole group to have dinner with it at its table. Everyone sits down to a feast of fruits. Meowth narrates  as they all dig in. He says eating with the The Pichu Brothers and all the other Pokémon was better than eating a soggy tuna sandwich. The scene then ends with the Pokémon happily eating.

Blurb

Meowth wants to enjoy the last days of its vacation with a picnic lunch in the park. But Meowth's sandwich starts floating in the air, and it zooms away when Meowth tries to chase it! Meowth chases the sandwich through the park and runs right through the special reception Azumarill is preparing for Azurill, who is coming from out of down. After a commotion like that, all the Pokémon friends end up chasing the sandwich! When the sandwich goes flying, Teddiursa catches it and gobbles it down in one gulp. The other Pokémon spot a footprint that suggests it was an invisible Pokémon who first swiped the sandwich, but who?

Just then, Meowth sees a strange red stripe floating by. This must be the invisible Pokémon! One of the Pichu Bros. asks a Smeargle for help, and Smeargle throws paint around until the invisible Pokémon is covered in paint and plain to see. It's a Kecleon! Kecleon runs away, but its paint-covered footsteps lead the others to an empty pipe. Inside the pipe are Kecleon and the Azurill that Azumarill was waiting for: Kecleon was stealing the food for Azurill! Once everything is cleared up, the Pokémon settle down to a delicious picnic with friends.

The next day, the Pichu Bros. are helping Azumarill look after Azurill. But as soon as they take their eyes off the little Pokémon, it disappears! The Pichu Bros. gather all of their friends to help them find Azurill. Even though they can see it, they can hardly catch up as it bounces all over town! Not far away, Meowth is trying to win a pretty Skitty's heart with roses when Azurill bounces past, switching Meowth's roses for a bundle of laundry. Skitty is not impressed.

For Meowth's next attempt at romance, it tries to give Skitty a cake, but Azurill steals the cake and eats it. Then Meowth sings a romantic serenade, only to have Azurill ruin this chance at love, too! That's when the Pokémon pals show up and grab Azurill, while Meowth ends up stuck under a Snorlax. So much for love; Meowth decides to settle for a nice, peaceful nap instead!

Plot

The episode begins with a view of the big city. A Wingull hovers above and flies down into a park. Meowth just happens to be in this park. He looks up at all the buildings, exclaiming how much he loves the city. He then opens his picnic basket and begins to eat. He takes out a sub sandwich and places it down. After some time, he looks over to a nearby Tauros statue and begins to daydream of people placing a giant golden Meowth statue up just for him.

As he dreams, he reaches to take a bite of his sandwich, but chows down on only his hand! He freaks out and blows on it, obviously hurting. He then looks over to see his sandwich hovering in midair. Meowth thinks he's just hallucinating and goes to grab the sandwich, but it slides away. He tries again, but his sandwich then takes off running! Meowth gets mad and chases it, now revealing that a red stripe seems to be carrying the sandwich. Up above, one of the Pichu Brothers is collecting berries in a tree. It looks down to see Meowth chasing his sandwich. After watching for some time, Pichu's brother slides down to see what's going on. They both watch Meowth give chase and decide to help out. They slide down the tree and rush after him.

Meanwhile, Azumarill is happily preparing a table for a lunch with its visiting friend Azurill. It places some flowers in a vase and steps back, knowing it's perfect. A Smoochum, Magby, and Wooper watch it. Suddenly, the sandwich floats by followed by a very angry Meowth. He leaps onto the table and smashes it before continuing his hunt. Azumarill is now angry, and gives Meowth a mad look.

It then begins to pick up the mess, but Meowth returns when his sandwich passes by. This time he smashes the whole table! Azumarill calls out to him and he apologizes, saying he wouldn't be in such a rush if his sandwich wasn't. The sandwich turns around and rushes towards the other Pokémon, then veers left. The other Pokémon decide to help and they chase after it, knocking Azumarill down. Now it is extremely mad, and it begins trying to Water Gun them.

Azumarill thanks Kecleon and invites the whole group to have dinner with it at its table. Everyone sits down to a feast of fruits. Meowth narrates as they all dig in. He says eating with the The Pichu Brothers and all the other Pokémon was better than eating a soggy tuna sandwich. The scene then ends with the Pokémon happily eating.
