Talk:EP044
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
General plot is that Cassandra makes medicine for Pokémon with Paras's help, but Paras is too weak, so, to help give it some confidence, Ash's Pokémon (and Meowth, if I remember this right) battle it and lose on purpose. Paras, thinking it's far more powerful than it really is, challenges Charmeleon to a fight. I forget what exactly happens there, but I know Paras eventually evolves into Parasect, thus fulfilling Cassandra's wish to do whatever is was that she had intended to do once Paras was stronger.
