Ep 7. Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!
- March 19, 2011
Ash and his friends are on their way to the next gym battle when they come across a field full of different types of grass Pokemon. Ash is eager to catch a new Pokemon, and he sees a Snivy in the distance. He tries to catch it with his Pikachu, but Snivy proves to be a difficult catch.
Meanwhile, a young trainer named Burgundy is also on the hunt for a Snivy. She challenges Cilan to a battle and he accepts, thinking it would be an easy victory. Burgundy surprises Cilan with a new move and wins the battle. She then catches a Snivy and brags about how easy it was to catch.
Ash is determined to catch the elusive Snivy and chases it through the fields. He tries using his Tepig, but Snivy outmaneuvers it with ease. Ash then tries his Oshawott, but Snivy shows off its speed and agility by dodging all of Oshawott's attacks.
Meanwhile, Burgundy is boasting about her victory to a group of trainers at a nearby cafe. Cilan overhears her and challenges her to a rematch. Burgundy accepts, but only if Cilan catches a new Pokemon before their battle.
Ash and his friends arrive at the cafe and overhear Burgundy's challenge. Cilan tells Ash about the challenge and suggests they work together to catch a new Pokemon. Ash agrees, but they soon realize that catching a Pokemon in the nearby forest is easier said than done.
Snivy continues to elude Ash and his friends, but they don't give up. They eventually come across a group of Scolipede who are blocking their path. It turns out the Scolipede are defending their young, and Ash and his friends help them defend against a group of wild Garbodor.
Ash finally catches Snivy after a daring battle. As they make their way back to the cafe, they run into Burgundy who has caught a new Pokemon of her own. Cilan challenges her to a rematch, and they have a hard-fought battle. In the end, Cilan emerges victorious and Burgundy is forced to eat her words about Snivy being an easy catch.
The episode ends with Ash and his friends continuing on their journey, while Burgundy sets off on her own adventure.
