<i>After catching Scorbunny and learning about his Pokédex, Goh is determined to catch lots more Pokémon! But it’s slow going at first when Scorbunny becomes overly excited, causing Pokémon after Pokémon to flee the commotion. Goh’s luck changes when he focuses on Bug-type Pokémon that live in Kanto, and he catches a Caterpie, Metapod, and Venomoth, followed by a Paras, Parasect, and Butterfree. After several more catches, he has just two Bug-type Pokémon to go: Venonat and Scyther. Goh and Scorbunny battle it out with both, and they succeed! Along with Ash and Pikachu, they return to the Cerise Laboratory, where all of Goh’s new Pokémon settle right in!</i>


==Plot==
==Plot==
Having just {{pkmn2|caught}} {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}}, [[Goh]] is keen to catch more Pokémon and fill the [[Pokédex]]. {{Ash}} suggests they go right now, so the boys make their way over to a forest area. Goh is fully stocked with {{i|Poké Ball}}s. {{AP|Pikachu}} leads them over to a {{p|Pidgey}} nesting in a tree. Goh eagerly tosses a Ball its way, only for the Poké Ball to rebound off a tree branch instead. Pidgey is also alerted to their presence, and blows them away with a flap of its wings. Ash advises Goh to be more careful next time, though just as rash as before, Scorbunny rushes over to a nearby {{p|Pidgeotto}}. Though Pidgeotto hears them coming and flies off into the distance. Just as Goh asks Scorbunny to be more calm, it starts chasing a {{p|Diglett}} around. Suddenly a {{p|Dugtrio}} bursts from the ground, carrying Goh off while the others follow after him. Goh sees his chance to catch it, but Dugtrio returns underground, causing Goh to crash into Scorbunny headfirst.

Pidgey is also alerted to their presence and blows them away with {{m|Gust}}. Ash advises Goh to be more careful next time, though just as rash as before, Scorbunny rushes over to a nearby {{p|Pidgeotto}}. However, Pidgeotto hears them coming and flies off into the distance. Just as Goh asks Scorbunny to be calmer, it starts chasing a {{p|Diglett}} around. Suddenly a {{p|Dugtrio}} bursts from the ground, carrying Goh off while the others follow after him. Goh sees his chance to catch it, but Dugtrio returns underground, causing Goh to crash into Scorbunny headfirst.


Scorbunny's ears twitch again, leading Goh and Ash directly to a leaf-munching {{p|Caterpie}}. Trying a more careful approach, Goh and Scorbunny crawl towards their target before catching Caterpie. Goh then asks the Pokédex about what other Pokémon he can catch in the area, and he sets his target of completing the Caterpie evolutionary line. However the search isn't going so well, until they hear a rustling in a tree. Ash and Goh kick the trunk, though a tree branch falls onto Go. Scorbunny and Pikachu follow suit, causing a {{p|Metapod}} to land on Ash. Goh quickly throws a Poké Ball and catches himself a Metapod. Goh soon adds a {{p|Venomoth}}, {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Parasect}} to his collection. A {{p|Butterfree}} then flies past before resting in a nearby tree, and Goh gives chase. After a failed throw due to height, Ash gives Goh a helpful hoist. Go, however fumbles the Poké Ball, though Scorbunny kicks it and successfully captures Butterfree.

Scorbunny and Pikachu follow suit, causing a {{p|Metapod}} to land on Ash. Goh quickly throws a Poké Ball and catches the Metapod for himself. Goh soon adds a {{TP|Goh|Venomoth}}, a {{p|Paras}}, and a {{p|Parasect}} to his collection. A {{TP|Goh|Butterfree}} flies past before resting in a nearby tree, and Goh gives chase. After a failed throw due to height, Ash gives Goh a helpful hoist. Goh, however, fumbles the Poké Ball, though Scorbunny kicks it and successfully captures Butterfree.


Meanwhile, Ash and Pikachu go over to inspect a rustling shrub, but are startled to find an aggressive {{p|Pinsir}} who attacks them with its gnashing horns. Pikachu strikes it with a {{m|Quick Attack}}, though Pinsir traps him and Ash inside a {{m|Rock Tomb}}. Pinsir then turns its attention to dealing with Go. Goh startling throws items to keep Pinsir away, and unintentionally captures it in the process. Soon, Goh finds another dangerous Pokémon, a {{p|Scyther}}. He tries throwing a Poké Ball at it, but Scyther slaps it away with its sharp scythes. It follows on with {{m|Air Slash}}, sending Goh and Scorbunny blasting off. After landing, Goh sees that Scyther has fled, so he decides to turn his attention to catching the {{p|Weedle}} evolutionary line.

After landing, Goh sees that Scyther has fled, so he decides to turn his attention to catching the {{p|Weedle}} evolutionary line.


Scorbunny soon spots an oblivious Weedle in a tree, and Goh lands the catch with a single throw. Goh then finds a horde of {{p|Kakuna}} dangling from the trees, and catches one for himself. As he goes to retrieve his catch, a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} ready their stingers to attack. Goh and Scorbunny rush over a hill, warning Ash and Pikachu of the impending danger, as the Beedrill fly after them. Pikachu uses an {{m|Electroweb}} to trap their pursuers, however one Beedrill escapes the trap. Goh sees this Beedrill as the strongest and throws out a Ball to make another successful catch. Goh is thrilled with the day’s result, but with two remaining he hopes to complete his [[Kanto]] {{type|Bug}} collection. He informs Ash that he spotted a Scyther earlier, though {{p|Venonat}} may be a tougher find as it is nocturnal.

On a hunch, Goh inspects a tree hollow and screams out as he comes face to face with a Venonat. The Insect Pokémon bounces out of its hideaway, so Goh throws a Ball at it. However, Venonat doesn't get caught as easily as the others. Instead, Ash suggests Goh battle it first. Goh outright refuses and claims that throwing a Poké Ball is faster. However, Scorbunny leaps into action, determined to battle Venonat. Goh spurs Scorbunny on, and orders a Quick Attack. Venonat replies with {{m|Poison Powder}}, which {{status|poison}}s Scorbunny. Goh orders a {{m|Double Kick}} before making his catch. Goh turns his attention to getting Scorbunny some treatment, so the boys rush towards the nearest [[Pokémon Center]]. Soon enough [[Nurse Joy]] and {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} discharge Scorbunny with a clean bill of health. Goh apologizes for letting his Pokémon get injured, though Scorbunny is just as enthusiastic to help Goh in his catching quest as before.

Returning to the forest, Ash and Goh split up to find Scyther. Scorbunny is the one to find Scyther. Goh tries another Poké Ball, but Scyther once again slaps it away. With one Poké Ball remaining, Goh decides to settle things with a battle. Scyther dodges Scorbunny's Quick Attack, and attempts to strike it with an Air Slash which misses. Ash and Pikachu arrive on the scene just as a Double Kick from Scorbunny fails to its mark. Scyther knocks Scorbunny to the ground with a {{m|Slash}} attack. Goh calls for another Quick Attack, with Scorbunny delivering a successful kick on Scyther. Goh then throws out his Ball, landing the catch. Goh is ecstatic to have caught all twelve of Kanto's Bug Pokémon. He and Scorbunny exchange a high-five to celebrate.

The next morning, [[Koharu]] and her father [[Professor Cerise]] notice that the boys haven't woken up yet for breakfast. When they hear laughter, they find Ash and Goh swarmed by all of the Bug Pokémon in their bedroom. Cerise is thrilled by the interactions, before unveiling his purpose-built greenhouse ecosystem, Sakuragi Park, to house all of the Pokémon. Koharu questions why Goh didn’t make {{p|Mew}} his first catch. Goh smugly replies that he will catch every Pokémon he can, hoping to get closer to finally fulfilling his long-term ambition of catching Mew. Ash admits his dream is to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. Koharu and Goh are confused, but Ash explains that it is much more than being the world's greatest Trainer. Even so, Goh and Ash spur each other on to achieve their seemingly impossible dreams.

* For reasons unknown, the "To Be Continued" text is removed in the [[Pokémon TV]] version of this episode. This will be the case for all aforementioned version episodes moving forward.

Blurb

After catching Scorbunny and learning about his Pokédex, Goh is determined to catch lots more Pokémon! But it’s slow going at first when Scorbunny becomes overly excited, causing Pokémon after Pokémon to flee the commotion. Goh’s luck changes when he focuses on Bug-type Pokémon that live in Kanto, and he catches a Caterpie, Metapod, and Venomoth, followed by a Paras, Parasect, and Butterfree. After several more catches, he has just two Bug-type Pokémon to go: Venonat and Scyther. Goh and Scorbunny battle it out with both, and they succeed! Along with Ash and Pikachu, they return to the Cerise Laboratory, where all of Goh’s new Pokémon settle right in!

Plot

Having just caught Scorbunny, Goh is keen to catch more Pokémon and fill the Pokédex. Ash suggests they go right now, so the boys make their way over to Vermilion Forest. Goh is fully stocked with Poké Balls. Pikachu leads them to a Pidgey nesting in a tree. Goh eagerly tosses a Poké Ball its way, only for it to rebound off of a tree branch instead. Pidgey is also alerted to their presence and blows them away with Gust. Ash advises Goh to be more careful next time, though just as rash as before, Scorbunny rushes over to a nearby Pidgeotto. However, Pidgeotto hears them coming and flies off into the distance. Just as Goh asks Scorbunny to be calmer, it starts chasing a Diglett around. Suddenly a Dugtrio bursts from the ground, carrying Goh off while the others follow after him. Goh sees his chance to catch it, but Dugtrio returns underground, causing Goh to crash into Scorbunny headfirst.

Scorbunny's ears twitch again, leading Goh and Ash directly to a leaf-munching Caterpie. Trying a more careful approach, Goh and Scorbunny crawl towards their target before catching Caterpie. Goh checks the Pokédex about what other Pokémon he can catch in the area, and he sets his target of completing the Caterpie evolutionary line. However, the search isn't going so well, until they hear a rustling in a tree. Ash and Goh kick the trunk, though a tree branch falls onto Goh. Scorbunny and Pikachu follow suit, causing a Metapod to land on Ash. Goh quickly throws a Poké Ball and catches the Metapod for himself. Goh soon adds a Venomoth, a Paras, and a Parasect to his collection. A Butterfree flies past before resting in a nearby tree, and Goh gives chase. After a failed throw due to height, Ash gives Goh a helpful hoist. Goh, however, fumbles the Poké Ball, though Scorbunny kicks it and successfully captures Butterfree.

Meanwhile, Ash and Pikachu go over to inspect a rustling shrub but are startled to find an aggressive Pinsir who attacks them with its gnashing horns. Pikachu strikes it with a Quick Attack, though Pinsir traps him and Ash inside a Rock Tomb. Pinsir turns its attention to dealing with Goh. Goh, startling, throws items to keep Pinsir away, and unintentionally captures it in the process. Soon, Goh finds another dangerous Pokémon, a Scyther. He tries throwing a Poké Ball at it, but Scyther slaps it away with its sharp scythes. It follows on with Air Slash, sending Goh and Scorbunny blasting off. After landing, Goh sees that Scyther has fled, so he decides to turn his attention to catching the Weedle evolutionary line.

Scorbunny soon spots an oblivious Weedle in a tree, and Goh lands the catch with a single throw. Goh finds a horde of Kakuna dangling from the trees, and catches one for himself. As he goes to retrieve his catch, a swarm of Beedrill readies their stingers to attack. Goh and Scorbunny rush over a hill, warning Ash and Pikachu of the impending danger, as the Beedrill fly after them. Pikachu uses an Electroweb to trap their pursuers; however, one Beedrill avoids the trap. Goh sees this Beedrill as the strongest and throws out a Poké Ball to make another successful catch. Goh is thrilled with the day’s result, but with two remaining, he hopes to complete his Kanto Bug-type collection. He informs Ash that he spotted a Scyther earlier, though Venonat may be a tougher find as it is nocturnal.

On a hunch, Goh inspects a tree hollow and screams out as he comes face to face with a Venonat. The Insect Pokémon bounces out of its hideaway, so Goh throws a Ball at it. However, Venonat doesn't get caught as easily as the others. Instead, Ash suggests Goh battle it first. Goh outright refuses and claims that throwing a Poké Ball is faster. However, Scorbunny leaps into action, determined to battle Venonat. Goh spurs Scorbunny on and orders a Quick Attack. Venonat replies with Poison Powder, which poisons Scorbunny. Goh orders a Double Kick before making his catch. Goh turns his attention to getting Scorbunny some treatment, so the boys rush towards the nearest Pokémon Center. Soon enough Nurse Joy and Chansey discharge Scorbunny with a clean bill of health. Goh apologizes for letting his Pokémon get injured, though Scorbunny is just as enthusiastic to help Goh in his catching quest as before.

Returning to the forest, Ash and Goh split up to find Scyther. Scorbunny is the one to find Scyther. Goh tries another Poké Ball, but Scyther once again slaps it away. With one Poké Ball remaining, Goh decides to settle things with a battle. Scyther dodges Scorbunny's Quick Attack and attempts to strike it with an Air Slash, which misses. Ash and Pikachu arrive on the scene just as a Double Kick from Scorbunny fails to its mark. Scyther knocks Scorbunny to the ground with a Slash attack. Goh calls for another Quick Attack, with Scorbunny delivering a successful kick on Scyther. Goh throws out his Ball, landing the catch. Goh is ecstatic to have caught all twelve of Kanto's Bug Pokémon. He and Scorbunny exchange a high-five to celebrate.

The next morning, Chloe and her father, Professor Cerise, notice that the boys haven't woken up yet for breakfast. When they hear laughter, they find Ash and Goh swarmed by all of the Bug Pokémon in their bedroom. Cerise is thrilled by the interactions, before unveiling his purpose-built greenhouse ecosystem, the Cerise Park, to house all of the Pokémon. Chloe questions why Goh didn’t make Mew his first catch. Goh smugly replies that he will catch every Pokémon he can, hoping to get closer to finally fulfilling his long-term ambition of catching Mew. Ash admits his dream is to become a Pokémon Master. Chloe and Goh are confused, but Ash explains that it is much more than being the world's greatest Trainer. Even so, Goh and Ash spur each other on to achieve their seemingly impossible dreams.

Errors

  • When Goh tries to catch Venonat, the strip around the middle button of the Poké Ball is colored black instead of white.
  • In one scene near the end, Ash is seen with his backpack on, even though he isn't supposed have it on at that point.
  • In the English dub, the series logo is not shown during the Who's That Pokémon? segment.

Dub edits

  • In the Japanese version, Goh's capture of Caterpie is rated as "Nice", both Paras and Parasect double catch are rated as "Great", Venonat capture is rated as "Great" and Scyther capture is rated as "Excellent". In the English dub, the captures are not rated at all.
  • In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, the title card is read by both Ash and Goh.
  • In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, when Goh is being attacked by Pinsir, he says, "Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out of here! Don't kill me, please! I did nothing bad!" In the original and the English dub, he just screams without saying anything.
  • For reasons unknown, the "To Be Continued" text is removed in the Pokémon TV version of this episode. This will be the case for all aforementioned version episodes moving forward.
