Plot
Having just caught Scorbunny, Go 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. Go is fully stocked with Poké Balls. Pikachu leads them over to a Pidgey nesting in a tree. Go 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 Go to be more careful next time, though just as rash as before, Scorbunny rushes over to a nearby Pidgeotto. Though Pidgeotto hears them coming and flies off into the distance. Just as Go asks Scorbunny to be more calm, it starts chasing a Diglett around. Suddenly a Dugtrio bursts from the ground, carrying Go off while the others follow after him. Go sees his chance to catch it, but Dugtrio returns underground, causing Go to crash into Scorbunny headfirst.
Scorbunny's ears twitch again, leading Go and Ash directly to a leaf-munching Caterpie. Trying a more careful approach, Go and Scorbunny crawl towards their target before catching Caterpie. Go 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 Go kick the trunk, though a tree branch falls onto Go. Scorbunny and Pikachu follow suit, causing a Metapod to land on Ash. A throw later and Go catches himself a Metapod. Go soon adds a Venomoth, Paras and Parasect to his collection. A Butterfree then flies past before resting in a nearby tree, and Go gives chase. After a failed throw due to height, Ash gives Go a helpful hoist. Go, however fumbles the Poké Ball, though kicks it and successfully captures Butterfree.
Meanwhile Ash and Pikachu go over to inspect a rustling shrub, but a startled to find an aggressive Pinsir with its gnashing horns. Pikachu strikes it with a Quick Attack, though Pinsir traps him and Ash inside a Rock Tomb. Pinsir then turns its attention to dealing with Go. Go furiously throws items to keep Pinsir away, and unintentionally captures it in the process. Soon, Go finds another dangerous Pokémon, a Scyther. He tries throwing a Poké Ball at it, but Scyther defends itself with its sharp scythes. It follows on with Air Slash, sending Go and Scorbunny blasting off. After landing, Go sees that Scyther has fled, so he decides to turn his attention to catching the Weedle line.
Scorbunny soon spots an oblivious Weedle in a tree, and Go lands the catch with a single throw. Go then 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 ready their stingers to attack. Go and Scorbunny rush over a hill, warning Ash and Pikahcu of the impending danger, as the Beedrill fly after them. Pikachu uses an Electroweb to trap their pursuers, however one Beedrill escapes the trap. Go sees this Beedrill as the strongest and throws out a Ball to make another successful catch. Go 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 nocturnal.
On a hunch, Go 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 Go throws a Ball at it. However, Venonat doesn't get caught as easily as the others. Instead, Ash suggests Go battle it first. Go outright refuses and claims that throwing a Poké Ball is faster. However, Scorbunny leaps into action, determined to battle Venonat. Go spurs Scorbunny on, and orders a Quick Attack. Venonat replies with Poison Powder, which poisons Scorbunny. Go orders a Double Kick before making his catch. Go 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. Go apologizes for letting his Pokémon get injured, though Scorbunny is just as enthusiastic to help Go in his catching quest as before.
Returning to the forest, Ash and Go split up to find Scyther. Scorbunny is the one to find Scyther. Go tries another Poké Ball, but Scyther remains too strong. With one Poké Ball remaining, Go 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. Go calls for another Quick Attack, with Scorbunny delivering a successful kick on Scyther. Go then throws out his Ball, landing the catch. Go 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 Sakuragi notice that the boys haven't gotten up yet for breakfast. Sudden bursts of laughter lead them to investigate the boys' bedroom, and inside they find Ash and Go swarmed by all of the Bug Pokémon. Sakuragi is thrilled by the interactions, before unveiling his purpose-built greenhouse ecosystem, Sakuragi Park, to house all of the Pokémon. Koharu queries why Go didn’t make Mew his first catch. Go 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 Go are confused, but Ash explains that it is much more than being the world's greatest Trainer. Even so, Go and Ash spur each other on to achieve their seemingly impossible dreams.
