A young boy decides he wants to catch a frog, while a young girl decides she wants to grow a tulip. The two set off into the forest to find what they want, but end up discovering a Bulbasaur and taking it home. The girl tries to water Bulbasaur with overly cold water, while the boy attempts to feed it flies, causing the two to get into a fight over how to care for it. Bulbasaur feels bad for making them fight and runs into the forest, and the next morning the two wake up to discover a frog and a tulip bulb in their yard. Seeing that the two are happy, Bulbasaur takes a nap, having stayed up all night to find the frog and bulb.
