Synopsis
Template:Incomplete synopsis The episode starts with Ash and friends traveling through a valley on the way to Dawn's next contest in Celestic Town. They encounter three Psyduck in the middle of the road. After confirming with Brock that the Pokémon are Psyduck, Dawn scans them with her Pokédex. As they walk closer to them the Psyduck's eyes glow pink, surrounding the trio with pink as well and lifting them up with Psychic. Ash, Dawn and Brock sit down to come up with a plan to get around them. When it seems like there's no other choice but to use force, Ash sends out Turtwig who attacks with Razor Leaf and Bite, but the three Psyduck are too powerful and Ash calls Turtwig back. Next up is Piplup who uses Whirlpool but is defeated by the Psyduck, who use Psychic to reflect Whirlpool back to Piplup. Brock sends out Croagunk who uses Poison Sting, but he too is defeated. Chimchar also comes out, uses Dig (as Ash thinks Psychic won't reach underground), gets lifted out of the hole by the Psyduck, smashed into the ground, and defeated.
Team Rocket appears and do their motto. They haughtily state that they can do a better job of getting the Psyduck out of the way than the twerps can. Meowth walks up to the Psyduck and attempts to bargain with them. It backfires; however, and Team Rocket is sent off by Psychic to the top of the valley. Brock's Happiny comes out and uses Pound while the Psyduck use Psychic on Happiny, crashing her to the ground. Happiny gets angry and starts lifting up a gigantic boulder to throw onto the Psyduck, but she loses her balance and swerves around while Ash, Dawn, and Brock try not to get hit. Eventually, Happiny crashes and breaks the boulder, fainting. Dawn's Swinub is sent out, but gets defeated as well. They then come up with a plan for Staravia and Gliscor to fly around with Ash while Dawn and Brock distract the Psyduck. Brock begins to perform Brock's Paradise while Ash and Gliscor take off. Gliscor flies into the wall a little farther down the valley. Ash sees a few mother Psyduck holding eggs, and realizes that the Psyduck are protecting their babies.
Back with Brock, he is still performing the song but is getting tired. Ash reappears with Gliscor and lands. He explains to Brock and Dawn that the three Psyduck are just protecting their babies. Team Rocket reappears again in their Meowth Balloon and reperform their motto. Ash, Brock, and Dawn send out Staravia, Croagunk and Buneary respectively to battle Team Rocket. Chimchar also comes out to fight Carnivine and Yanmega. Team Rocket blasts off.
They return to the lake in time to see the eggs hatch. They wonder why they are not at their lake, when three Muk rise up from the water. Dawn scans the Muk with her Pokédex. They send the Muk out of this lake and back into their original lake where they meet three other Muk and fall in love. The Psyduck hop back into the lake as Ash, Dawn and Brock continue their journey to Celestic Town.

Trivia
- This episode is based on an event in the games. A group of Psyduck are initially blocking the route to Celestic Town but a potion provided by Cynthia cures their headaches and makes them move away.
- Brock wears his outfit from Takeshi's Paradise in this episode, and music from that is used as well in the original Japanese version.
- This episode marks the third time that Brock's Croagunk is shown to be defeated, the other two times being in DP008 (although he gets up in a few seconds) and in DP052. It wasn't knocked out again until DP096.
- This episode also marks the first and only time so far that Brock's Happiny got knocked out.
- The Psyduck group also defeated Pikachu, Turtwig, Piplup, Chimchar and Swinub in quick succession.
- After it is knocked out, Dawn returns Piplup to its Poké Ball for the first time since Pruning a Passel of Pals!, in which the episode number is a reversal of this episode. Once it was returned, it didn't reappear for the rest of the episode.
- Ambipom had not used Double Team since she was an Aipom, making this her first time since evolving. In addition, Ambipom hasn't used this move since The Keystone Pops!, 31 episodes beforehand.
- An earlier episode had a similar title to this episode. Both are references to the famous saying "the buck stops here".
- This episode also marks the only time where Team Rocket's balloon falls to the ground when torn instead of blasting off. However, later in the episode Jessie, James, and Meowth blast off.
Errors
- When Dawn got her "Psyducklings" idea, Brock's hair is colored black instead of brown.
Dub edits
- As Brock performs Takeshi's Paradise, the Takeshi's Paradise background music is removed.
