==Synopsis==
==Blurb==
As our heroes enter the [[Ilex Forest]], {{an|Misty}} worries they might be lost. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} worries about their empty stomach.
<!--https://www.pokemon.com/us/animation/seasons/3/episode-40-a-farfetchd-tale/-->
 
<i>An inexperienced young Trainer mistakenly scares off his own Farfetch'd. Ash and friends are happy to help, but will have to find it before Team Rocket, their stomachs as empty as their piggy bank, can get their hands on this savory Pokémon.</i>
{{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} soon happen to meet a boy and his {{p|Farfetch'd}}. They appear to be having a problem; the boy tries to get Farfetch'd to use "Cutting attack", but Farfetch'd is disregarding its {{pkmn|Trainer}} completely. Ash steps in and informs the boy that "{{m|Cut}} attack" is the correct name. The much embarrassed boy now tells Farfetch'd to use "Cut", but even when given the correct name of the [[Move|attack]], Farfetch'd refuses to obey!
 
Team Rocket trudges on, ignorant of all but their hunger pangs. Apparently, they're all out of money and are too weak to forage for food.
 
The boy, who introduces himself as {{jo|Sylvester}}, explains that he is a beginning trainer and sometimes has trouble remembering the names of attacks. He wants to be able to make "purifying [[charcoal]]" like his father does. {{an|Brock}} explains to Ash and Misty that purifying charcoal is {{wp|Charcoal|burnt wood used for fuel}} that can also purify water and air. The Ilex Forest is world-famous for its purified charcoal; in fact, Brock even uses it for a recipe he calls "Brock's Rockin' Rice". Sylvester says that he needs to teach Farfetch'd how to cut wood into perfect blocks. Farfetch'd doesn't look happy to be working with Sylvester, though. It appears to think very little of its Trainer. Nevertheless, Ash encourages the two by telling them how he and {{AP|Pikachu}} worked together to become best friends. Sylvester and Farfetch'd are persuaded to try again.
 
At the local [[Pokémon Center]], Ash reports to {{an|Professor Oak}} that he has safely delivered the [[GS Ball]] to [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]]. Ash also tells Oak of his [[Lure Ball]], which he received from Kurt as a gift, and his {{badge|Hive}}, which he won from [[Bugsy]], the [[Gym Leader]]. Ash's {{AP|Muk}}, {{AP|Kingler}}, {{AP|Snorlax}}, and {{AP|Tauros}} squeeze into the screen to wish Ash luck as he seeks out the next Gym. Suddenly, Sylvester runs into the Center and asks [[Nurse Joy]] if she has seen his Farfetch'd; apparently, it has run away after Sylvester forgot a few attack names again. Nurse Joy suggests looking for Farfetch'd at [[Yosaku|his father's]] house, since Farfetch'd went there the previous time it ran away. Sylvester seems very down on himself, so Ash cheers him up by volunteering to accompany him to his house, and to search the forest if Farfetch'd cannot be found there.
 
At Sylvester's house, Sylvester's father is busy at a hearth. His {{p|Magmar}} provides flames while he works hard to make the pruifying charcoal. He receives the news that Farfetch'd has run away again with very little patience; in fact, he begans berating his son for being such a bad Trainer. Ash, feeling sorry for Sylvester, steps in and tells the father that his son is trying his best and should not be pressed so hard. Sylvester's father is not impressed; he orders his son and his new friends out into the forest to look for Farfetch'd.


Meanwhile, Team Rocket is still hungry. Then, {{MTR}} smells food! The scent is coming from two rolls on a strange-looking pedestal. [[James]] picks them up, but [[Jessie]] and Meowth eat them before he can. Then, Farfetch'd walks out from behind a bush, unaware of Team Rocket. The always-scheming thieves decide to grab the valuabe Pokémon and sell it, using the money to buy lots of food. Farfetch'd manages to avoid James' initial lunge, but soon the poor Pokémon is cornered!
==Plot==
{{an|Brock}}, with a map in hand, guides {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} through the [[Ilex Forest]]. The group soon comes across a boy commanding his {{p|Farfetch'd}} to use "cutting attack", but Farfetch'd [[obedience|disregards]] its {{pkmn|Trainer}} completely. Ash steps in and informs the boy that "{{m|Cut}} attack" is the correct name. The embarrassed boy then tells Farfetch'd to use "Cut", but even so, Farfetch'd refuses to obey. The boy, who introduces himself as {{OBP|Sylvester|EP145}}, explains that he is a beginning Trainer and sometimes has trouble remembering the names of attacks. He wants to be able to make "purifying [[charcoal]]" like his father does. Brock explains to Ash and Misty that purifying charcoal is {{wp|Charcoal|burnt wood used for fuel}} that can also purify water and air. The Ilex Forest is world-famous for its purified charcoal; in fact, Brock even uses it for a recipe he calls "Brock's Rockin' Rice". Sylvester says that he needs to teach Farfetch'd how to cut wood into perfect blocks. Farfetch'd, however, doesn't look happy to be working with Sylvester. It appears to think very little of its Trainer. Ash can empathize with Sylvester and admits that he and {{AP|Pikachu}} initially struggled to work together before they became best friends. Sylvester and Farfetch'd are persuaded by Ash's words to try again.


Ash and the others are having no luck finding Farfetch'd. Then Ash comes up with an idea: they can use their Pokémon to search! After Brock hastily withdraws his {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} before it {{m|Selfdestruct}}s, Ash realizes that none of the Pokémon are looking for Farfetch'd, so he gets them into action.
At the local [[Pokémon Center]], Ash reports to {{an|Professor Oak}} that he has [[EP143|safely delivered]] the [[GS Ball]] to [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]]. Ash also tells Oak of his [[Lure Ball]], which he received from Kurt as a gift, and his {{Badge|Hive}}, which he [[EP144|won]] from [[Bugsy]], the [[Gym Leader]]. [[Ash's Muk]], {{AP|Kingler}}, {{AP|Snorlax}}, and {{AP|Tauros}} squeeze into the screen to wish Ash luck and the video call ends. Ash then sits down with his friends and learns that [[Goldenrod City]] is the location of the next Gym. Suddenly, Sylvester runs into the Center and asks [[Nurse Joy]] if she has seen his Farfetch'd; apparently, it has run away after Sylvester forgot a few attack names again. Nurse Joy suggests looking for Farfetch'd at [[Yosaku|his father]]'s house, since Farfetch'd went there the previous time it ran away. Ash cheers up the despondent Sylvester by volunteering to accompany him to his house, and to search the forest if Farfetch'd cannot be found there.


At the same time, Team Rocket is discovering that Farfetch'd won't be so easy to capture. It flies up to perch on a tree limb, cutting several branches with its leek and causing them to fall on Team Rocket's heads. Jessie tosses Meowth upwards in frustration, but Farfetch'd easily bonks it on the head, sending it back down on Jessie's head. Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}; Farfetch'd blocks Arbok's {{m|Poison Sting}} with its leek. Arbok dives for the leek, but misses. Finally, Lickitung uses its giant Tongue to grab the leek. Without its leek, Farfetch'd tries to run away, but Meowth lassoes it. With Farfetch'd secure in a netted bag, James tries to eat the leek, but Jessie swipes it away. Meowth reminds him that the leek will make Farfetch'd complete, and more money can be made.
At Sylvester's house, his father [[Yosaku]] works alongside his {{p|Magmar}} at a hearth to make purifying charcoal. Yosaku receives the news that Farfetch'd has run away again and begins berating his son for being such a bad Trainer. Ash, feeling sorry for Sylvester, steps in and tells Yosaku that his son is trying his best and should not be pushed so hard. Sylvester's father is not impressed; he orders his son and his new friends out into the forest to look for Farfetch'd. Meanwhile, as {{TRT}} continues to trudge through the forest, {{MTR}} suddenly smells food and leads his teammates to a [[Ilex Forest shrine|forest shrine]] with some offerings. [[Jessie]] and Meowth eat the buns before [[James]] can get a bite. Then, Farfetch'd walks out from behind a bush, unaware of Team Rocket. The trio corners the valuable Pokémon and decides to capture and sell it, using the money to buy lots of food.


{{AP|Heracross}} spots Team Rocket with Farfetch'd and reports back to Ash. Having been discovered, Team Rocket performs their motto for Ash and Sylvester, then makes a run for it. But {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Chikorita}} use {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the bag, freeing Farfetch'd. Before it can fly back to Sylvester, though, Farfetch'd is grabbed by Lickitung. James sends out his {{TP|James|Weezing}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}} and, after being swallowed by the latter, orders the former to fire {{m|Sludge}} at Ash and his Pokémon, immobilizing them. As Arbok's Poison Sting heads straight for the helpless group, Brock's {{TP|Brock|Onix}} erupts out of the ground and blocks the attack!
Elsewhere, Ash and the others soon reach the shrine, dedicated to the {{p|Celebi|spirit that watches over the forest}}, and try to call out to Farfetch'd, to no avail. They decide to use all of their Pokémon, minus [[Misty's Goldeen]] and {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, to search for Farfetch'd. Brock, however, is forced to recall his {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} before it {{m|Self-Destruct}}s. Though Sylvester is concerned by Ash's Pokémon who seem to be too preoccupied to help with the search. Just as Misty is about to scold Ash for his misbehaving Pokémon, she spots her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} fast asleep on {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}}'s tail. The Pokémon manage to organize themselves and the group agrees to meet back at the shrine within the next hour before splitting off to search for Farfetch'd.


Brock and Misty hurry towards them with their Pokémon, and Misty has {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}} use {{m|Water Gun}} to get rid of the Sludge. As they prepare to get Farfetch'd back, Sylvester realizes how great of a team Ash and his Pokémon are. However, the fight is not over yet! Weezing and Victreebel use {{m|SmokeScreen}} and Razor Leaf, but then Ash puts down Team Rocket's hopes of finally succeeding by ordering {{AP|Squirtle}} to use {{m|Hydro Pump}} to blow away Weezing's smoke. While Ash's Pokémon attack together, Sylvester expresses the wish to work with Farfetch'd the way Ash works with his Pokémon. Brock explains that Ash's [[Party|team]] act with one mind.
Meanwhile, Farfetch'd momentarily evades Team Rocket by flying up on a tree branch, cutting several smaller branches with its leek, and causing them to fall on Team Rocket's heads. Jessie tosses Meowth upwards in frustration, but Farfetch'd easily hits him on the head, sending Meowth back down on Jessie's own head. Jessie then sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}; Farfetch'd blocks Arbok's {{m|Poison Sting}} with its leek. Arbok dives for the leek, but misses. Finally, Lickitung uses its giant tongue to grab the leek before Jessie snatches the leek from it. Without its leek, Farfetch'd tries to run away, but Meowth captures it with a lasso. With Farfetch'd now secured in a net, James tries to eat the leek, but Jessie swipes it away and Meowth reminds him that the leek will make Farfetch'd complete, meaning more money could be made.


Heracross {{m|Tackle}}s Team Rocket, sending the leek spinning up in the air. Jessie and Sylvester both dive for it, but only Sylvester comes up with the leek in hand! Farfetch'd sees its trainer after making that great dive and realizes that maybe he isn't such a bad trainer after all. Ash asks Sylvester if he's alright, but Sylvester shakes off the dust easily. Now that he knows the power of teamwork, his confidence has grown enormously. He throws the leek to Farfetch'd, who catches it and {{m|Peck}}s Lickitung so hard that it loosens its tongue, freeing Farfetch'd. In a last-dtich attempt, Team Rocket dives toward Farfetch'd, but Sylvester orders Farfetch'd to use {{m|Fury Attack}}. The devastating leek-bashing leaves Team Rocket completely worn out. Before they can run far, Farfetch'd uses Cut to down two big trees in front of Team Rocket's path. With that, Ash wraps things up by having Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Team Rocket blasts off for the umpteenth time, feeling cheated... and still hungry!
{{AP|Heracross}} spots Team Rocket with Farfetch'd and reports back to Ash. Having been discovered, Team Rocket performs their {{motto}} for Ash and Sylvester. Jessie sends out Arbok and Lickitung while Meowth kicks at Sylvester, allowing the trio to make a run for it. However, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Chikorita}} use {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the bag, freeing Farfetch'd. Before it can fly back to Sylvester, though, Farfetch'd is grabbed by Lickitung. James sends out his {{TP|James|Weezing}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}}, and orders the former to fire {{m|Sludge}} at Ash and his Pokémon, immobilizing them. As Arbok's Poison Sting heads straight for the helpless group, [[Brock's Onix]] erupts out of the ground and blocks the attack. Brock and Misty hurry towards them with their Pokémon, and Misty has Poliwag wash away the Sludge attack with its {{m|Water Gun}}. Weezing and Victreebel then use {{m|Smokescreen}} and Razor Leaf respectively, but Ash orders {{AP|Squirtle}} to use {{m|Hydro Pump}} to blow away Weezing's smoke. While Ash's Pokémon attack together, Sylvester expresses his wish to work with Farfetch'd the way Ash works with his Pokémon. Brock explains that Ash's [[Party|team]] acts with one mind. Heracross {{m|Tackle}}s Team Rocket, sending the leek spinning up in the air. Jessie and Sylvester both dive for it, and Sylvester grabs it. This causes Farfetch'd to realize that he isn't such a bad Trainer after all. Sylvester promptly throws the leek to Farfetch'd, who goes onto free itself from Lickitung's grasp with a powerful {{m|Peck}}. In a last-ditch attempt, Team Rocket dives toward Farfetch'd, but Sylvester orders Farfetch'd to use {{m|Fury Attack}}, which leaves Team Rocket completely worn out. Before they can run far, Farfetch'd uses Cut to down two big trees in front of Team Rocket's path. Then, Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, sending Team Rocket blasting off.


Ash congratulates Sylvester for getting Farfetch'd to use Cut, and Misty and Brock comment on how well the pair worked as a team. Encouraged by Ash and the gang, Sylvester asks Farfetch'd to cut one of the trees into blocks for charcoal. After pausing to orientate itself, like a true Cutting master, Farfetch'd executes a serious of slashes, creating many perfectly-shaped blocks of wood. Yet again, Ash and his friends have helped a trainer and his Pokémon become a solid team.

Later, Sylvester's father admits that he is proud of his son's growth. Yosaku also gives Ash and his friends some charcoal as a show of his gratitude. The group says their goodbyes before setting off for Goldenrod City.
 
At the end of the day, Sylvester's father expresses his appreciation of his son's work and how very proud of him he is. After being given some charcoal in gratitude, our heroes set off for [[Goldenrod City]], where the next [[Johto League]] [[Gym]] lies.

Blurb

An inexperienced young Trainer mistakenly scares off his own Farfetch'd. Ash and friends are happy to help, but will have to find it before Team Rocket, their stomachs as empty as their piggy bank, can get their hands on this savory Pokémon.

Plot

Brock, with a map in hand, guides Ash and Misty through the Ilex Forest. The group soon comes across a boy commanding his Farfetch'd to use "cutting attack", but Farfetch'd disregards its Trainer completely. Ash steps in and informs the boy that "Cut attack" is the correct name. The embarrassed boy then tells Farfetch'd to use "Cut", but even so, Farfetch'd refuses to obey. The boy, who introduces himself as Sylvester, explains that he is a beginning Trainer and sometimes has trouble remembering the names of attacks. He wants to be able to make "purifying charcoal" like his father does. Brock explains to Ash and Misty that purifying charcoal is burnt wood used for fuel that can also purify water and air. The Ilex Forest is world-famous for its purified charcoal; in fact, Brock even uses it for a recipe he calls "Brock's Rockin' Rice". Sylvester says that he needs to teach Farfetch'd how to cut wood into perfect blocks. Farfetch'd, however, doesn't look happy to be working with Sylvester. It appears to think very little of its Trainer. Ash can empathize with Sylvester and admits that he and Pikachu initially struggled to work together before they became best friends. Sylvester and Farfetch'd are persuaded by Ash's words to try again.

At the local Pokémon Center, Ash reports to Professor Oak that he has safely delivered the GS Ball to Kurt in Azalea Town. Ash also tells Oak of his Lure Ball, which he received from Kurt as a gift, and his Hive Badge, which he won from Bugsy, the Gym Leader. Ash's Muk, Kingler, Snorlax, and Tauros squeeze into the screen to wish Ash luck and the video call ends. Ash then sits down with his friends and learns that Goldenrod City is the location of the next Gym. Suddenly, Sylvester runs into the Center and asks Nurse Joy if she has seen his Farfetch'd; apparently, it has run away after Sylvester forgot a few attack names again. Nurse Joy suggests looking for Farfetch'd at his father's house, since Farfetch'd went there the previous time it ran away. Ash cheers up the despondent Sylvester by volunteering to accompany him to his house, and to search the forest if Farfetch'd cannot be found there.

At Sylvester's house, his father Yosaku works alongside his Magmar at a hearth to make purifying charcoal. Yosaku receives the news that Farfetch'd has run away again and begins berating his son for being such a bad Trainer. Ash, feeling sorry for Sylvester, steps in and tells Yosaku that his son is trying his best and should not be pushed so hard. Sylvester's father is not impressed; he orders his son and his new friends out into the forest to look for Farfetch'd. Meanwhile, as Team Rocket continues to trudge through the forest, Meowth suddenly smells food and leads his teammates to a forest shrine with some offerings. Jessie and Meowth eat the buns before James can get a bite. Then, Farfetch'd walks out from behind a bush, unaware of Team Rocket. The trio corners the valuable Pokémon and decides to capture and sell it, using the money to buy lots of food.

Elsewhere, Ash and the others soon reach the shrine, dedicated to the spirit that watches over the forest, and try to call out to Farfetch'd, to no avail. They decide to use all of their Pokémon, minus Misty's Goldeen and Staryu, to search for Farfetch'd. Brock, however, is forced to recall his Pineco before it Self-Destructs. Though Sylvester is concerned by Ash's Pokémon who seem to be too preoccupied to help with the search. Just as Misty is about to scold Ash for his misbehaving Pokémon, she spots her Psyduck fast asleep on Poliwag's tail. The Pokémon manage to organize themselves and the group agrees to meet back at the shrine within the next hour before splitting off to search for Farfetch'd.

Meanwhile, Farfetch'd momentarily evades Team Rocket by flying up on a tree branch, cutting several smaller branches with its leek, and causing them to fall on Team Rocket's heads. Jessie tosses Meowth upwards in frustration, but Farfetch'd easily hits him on the head, sending Meowth back down on Jessie's own head. Jessie then sends out her Arbok and Lickitung; Farfetch'd blocks Arbok's Poison Sting with its leek. Arbok dives for the leek, but misses. Finally, Lickitung uses its giant tongue to grab the leek before Jessie snatches the leek from it. Without its leek, Farfetch'd tries to run away, but Meowth captures it with a lasso. With Farfetch'd now secured in a net, James tries to eat the leek, but Jessie swipes it away and Meowth reminds him that the leek will make Farfetch'd complete, meaning more money could be made.

Heracross spots Team Rocket with Farfetch'd and reports back to Ash. Having been discovered, Team Rocket performs their motto for Ash and Sylvester. Jessie sends out Arbok and Lickitung while Meowth kicks at Sylvester, allowing the trio to make a run for it. However, Bulbasaur and Chikorita use Razor Leaf to cut the bag, freeing Farfetch'd. Before it can fly back to Sylvester, though, Farfetch'd is grabbed by Lickitung. James sends out his Weezing and Victreebel, and orders the former to fire Sludge at Ash and his Pokémon, immobilizing them. As Arbok's Poison Sting heads straight for the helpless group, Brock's Onix erupts out of the ground and blocks the attack. Brock and Misty hurry towards them with their Pokémon, and Misty has Poliwag wash away the Sludge attack with its Water Gun. Weezing and Victreebel then use Smokescreen and Razor Leaf respectively, but Ash orders Squirtle to use Hydro Pump to blow away Weezing's smoke. While Ash's Pokémon attack together, Sylvester expresses his wish to work with Farfetch'd the way Ash works with his Pokémon. Brock explains that Ash's team acts with one mind. Heracross Tackles Team Rocket, sending the leek spinning up in the air. Jessie and Sylvester both dive for it, and Sylvester grabs it. This causes Farfetch'd to realize that he isn't such a bad Trainer after all. Sylvester promptly throws the leek to Farfetch'd, who goes onto free itself from Lickitung's grasp with a powerful Peck. In a last-ditch attempt, Team Rocket dives toward Farfetch'd, but Sylvester orders Farfetch'd to use Fury Attack, which leaves Team Rocket completely worn out. Before they can run far, Farfetch'd uses Cut to down two big trees in front of Team Rocket's path. Then, Ash has Pikachu use Thunderbolt, sending Team Rocket blasting off.

Ash congratulates Sylvester for getting Farfetch'd to use Cut, and Misty and Brock comment on how well the pair worked as a team. Encouraged by Ash and the gang, Sylvester asks Farfetch'd to cut one of the trees into blocks for charcoal. After pausing to orient itself, like a true Cutting master, Farfetch'd executes a series of slashes, creating several perfectly-shaped blocks of wood. Later, Sylvester's father admits that he is proud of his son's growth. Yosaku also gives Ash and his friends some charcoal as a show of his gratitude. The group says their goodbyes before setting off for Goldenrod City.

Trivia

  • When Misty lets her Pokémon out, Staryu and Goldeen are omitted, and only Psyduck and Poliwag appear.
    • Though that may be simply because she often does not use her Water-type Pokémon that have trouble functioning on land, such as Goldeen.
  • This is the last time in the anime that the GS Ball is mentioned, other than its appearance in a flashback in No Big Woop!. The producers planned to have it return, but they abandoned that plotline in favor of the fourth movie and shelved the idea.
  • In the Japanese version, Sylvester tells Farfetch'd to use 居合い抜き (iainuki) instead of the correct いあいぎり (iaigiri). The former is the Japanese term for quickly drawing one's sword, slashing, and then sheathing the sword, on which the move name いあいぎり is based.

Errors

  • During the battle with Team Rocket, Ash says, "Use your Razor Leaf attack together!" He was probably directing the command to Bulbasaur and Chikorita, but his Pokémon don't appear to follow the order; Chikorita uses Razor Leaf, but Bulbasaur uses Vine Whip and Cyndaquil (who isn't even capable of using Razor Leaf) uses Flamethrower.
  • While battling against Team Rocket, Sylvester commands Farfetch'd to use "Fury" instead of Fury Attack.
