Synopsis

The episode begins with a view of the big city. A Wingull hovers above and flies down into a park. Meowth just happens to be in this park. He looks up at all the buildings, exclaiming how much he loves the city. He then opens his picnic basket and begins to eat. He takes out a sub sandwich and places it down. After some time, he looks over to a nearby Tauros statue and begins to day dream of people placing a giant golden Meowth statue up just for him. As he dreams, he reaches to take a bite of his sandwich, but chows down on only his hand! He freaks out and blows on it, obviously hurting. He then looks over to see his sandwich hovering in midair. Meowth thinks he's just hallucinating and goes to grab the sandwich, but it slides away. He tries again, but his sandwich then takes off running! Meowth gets mad and chases it, now revealing that a red stripe seems to be carrying the sandwich. Up above, one of the Pichu bros is collecting berries in a tree. It looks down to see Meowth chasing his sandwich. After watching for some time, Pichu's brother slides down to see what's going on. They both watch Meowth give chase and decide to help out. They slide down the tree and rush after him. Meanwhile, An Azumarill is happily preparing a table. It places some flowers in a vase and steps back, knowing it's perfect. A Smoochum, Magby, and Wooper watch it. Suddenly, the sandwich floats by followed by a very angry Meowth. He leaps onto the table and smashes it before continuing his hunt. Azumarill is now angry, and gives Meowth a mad look. It then begins to pick up the mess, but Meowth returns when his sandwich passes by. This time he smashes the whole table! Azumarill calls out to him and he apologizes, saying he wouldn't be in such a rush if his sandwich wasn't. The sandwich turns around and rushes towards the other Pokemon, then veers left. The other Pokemon decide to help and they chase after it, knocking Azumarill down. Now it is extremely mad, and it begins trying to water gun them. Meowth tells it to stop and ducks, but Azumarill is too mad. Meanwhile, a Teddiursa is also in the park. It digs on the ground and finds some acorn shells, but to its dismay, they are empty. It then hears some commotion and turns to see many Pokemon chasing a floating sandwich. The stripe trips on a rock and the sandwich flies into Teddiursa's mouth. Meowth freaks out as the little bear chows down on his flying food. He tackles it and begins to knock it around. He smashes Teddiursa's head against the ground and tries to get his sandwich back, but it is long gone. The Pichu bros discover a footprint in the ground and wonder what it could belong too. Meowth inspects it with a magnifying glass, and soon everyone is sitting down wondering who the print belongs too. Meowth exclaims that when he figures it out, the owner will pay for his stolen sandwich. He sits on the ground and begins to think, but isn't having much luck. He begins to blame the other Pokemon, angering the Pichu bros. They exclaim that the print could very well belong to him too, and he informs them that he wouldn't steal his own sandwich. Meowth then inspects everyone's feet, and concludes that Magby stole the sandwich as its foot is most closely matched. The Pichu bros deny it, as Magby was chasing it along with them. Suddenly, the stripe waddles by. The Pichu's point it out and a sweat drop appears above it. All the Pokemon begin to chase it through the park, knowing that it is the culprit. After some time, the stripe runs into a stadium. The Pokemon follow, but find the stadium is full of multicolored stripe paintings. The group looks down to see a Smeargle happily painting the walls next to a bushel of apples. The stripe steals and apple and rushes off. The Pokemon run to catch it, but soon realize it's futile. The Pichu bros then get an idea and tell the Smeargle to splash its paint all over. It does so, and exposes the stripe as a Kecleon! It tires to sneak away, and Meowth jumps on it, pretending he still can't find it. The Pokemon crowd around and the Pichu bros explain to it that it's covered in yellow paint. It realizes this and rushes off. The Pokemon all give chase, but the Kecleon has disappeared. Meowth then notices a trail of yellow footprints, so they decide to follow them. After some time, the group comes to a concrete tube where the prints lead inside. They peer in to see the Kecleon taking care of a baby Azurill. It opens its mouth and feeds it the apple. Meowth realizes that it only took the sandwich to feed it and he starts to understand. Meanwhile, Azumarill has finally redecorated its table. Kecleon approaches with Azurill, and it happily leaps into its arms. The two Pokemon hug and Meowth realizes that Azumarill must be its mom. He then asks Kecleon what happened and it explains how it was walking along and found Azurill cold and trying to find shelter from a storm. It was obviously lost, so it took care of it by feeding and carrying it around. Meowth says that was pretty nice of it. Azumarill thanks Kecleon and invites the whole group to have dinner with it at its table. Everyone sits down to a feast of fruits. Meowth says grace and they all dig in. The scene then ends with the Pokemon happily eating.
