The Pokemon League Tournament is over, and now our heros look forward to a week of rest and relaxation camping out in the woods. Little to they know that our trio is being watched in the distance by a very strange looking set of eyes. The scene shifts to a large green bush with two large, red eyes peering out of it. Behind the bush is a yet unseen POKEMON who simply says "Gimme-achu". Music plays, Ash announces the name of this episode,"Gimme-achu, Please?" Suddenly, Gimme-achu leaps out from behind the bush, scaring Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu. MISTY (frightened): What's that thing? BROCK (trembling): It's nothing like I've ever seen before! GIMME-ACHU (extends hand out towards them): GIMME-ACHU! GIMME-ACHU! ASH (points Poke-dec at it): Maybe Dexter can tell us something about it POKE-DECK (picture of Gimme-achu appears on screen): GIMME-ACHU, the tobacco chewing Pokemon, it seeks and chews tobacco products constantly, it usually has a pleasant demeanor unless it no longer has tobacco to chew... MISTY (makes a face): Ewwwwwww! A tobacco Pokemon, how gross!!! BROCK (sadly): It certainly is an ugly looking thing, isn't it? ASH (turns to the others): What do we do? None of us has any tobacco! GIMME-ACHU (sternly, hand extended): GIMME-ACHU! GIMME-ACHU! MISTY (takes out a stick of gum): Here, Gimme-achu, try this! The strange looking creature takes the stick of gum and begins chewing it. A smile comes across it's face as it continues to chew the gum. ASH (happy): Look! It's working! Gimme-achu likes to chew gum! BROCK (surprised): Amazing! I wouldn't think that a tobacco chewing Pokemon would enjoy regular chewing gum! MISTY (sarcasticly at the boys): Shows what you two know about Pokemon! Since it's calmed down now, I'm going to capture it! BROCK (bewildered): Are you sure you want to, Misty? ASH (pointing at it): Yeah, it looks even uglier than Psyduck! MISTY (producing a Poke-ball): I don't think it's THAT aweful looking, here goes.... GO POKE-BALL!! The Poke-ball flies in the direction of Gimme-achu, it quickly swats it away and grows angry. GIMME-ACHU (angry): GIMME-ACHU!!! GIMME-ACHU!!! BROCK (scared): I don't think you should've done that, Misty! ASH (scared): Yeah, it looks really mad now! MISTY (stern): I just need to wear it down a little, that's all! STARMY!! I CHOOSE YOU!!! As Misty begins to throw her Poke-ball with Starmy in it, Psyduck jumps out of her backpack instead. MISTY (angry): NOT YOU, PSYDUCK!!!! PSYDUCK (holding head with both hands): Psy....Psy....Psy...duck! Psyduck begins paces back and forth, causing Misty to grow even more angry. Gimme-achu stares at it and starts laughing, in the process, it swallows the piece of gum it's chewing and nearly chokes. This causes Gimme-achu to grow furious and stomp it's feet on the ground in disgust. GIMME-ACHU (furious): GIMME-ACHU!!!! GIMME-ACHU!!! BROCK (tapping Misty on the shoulder): We better get out of here! ASH (grabbing Pikachu): I'm with you, Brock, let's go! As the threesome turns to run away, Gimme-achu spits a stream of tobacco juice on all of them, hitting them and Pikachu also. Pikachu jumps out of Ash's hands and runs towards Gimme-achu, readying himself to give it a thunder shock. ASH (turning around): PIKACHU! COME BACK! Before Pikachu can 'power up', Gimme-achu spits several streams of tobacco juice on him, drenching him and shorting out all of his electrical abilities. ASH (cries out): PIKACHU!!!! The frightened Pikachu runs away, following Brock and Misty who are still running from Gimme-achu. Ash turns red in the face and throws one of his Poke-balls in the air. ASH (shouts): Bulbasaur, razor leaf attack! Bulbasaur instantly appears and shoots razor leafs at Gimme-achu, who responds by rapid-fire tobacco spitting which effectively knocks down all the razor leafs. ASH (shouts): I'll teach you for hurting my Pikachu! Bulbasaur! Vine whip attack! Bulbasaur shoots out two vines from it's back, both of which are dodged by Gimme-achu. The tobacco Pokeman then fires a stream of tobacco spit into Bulbasaur's eyes, blinding him for the moment. ASH (screams): BULBASAUR!!! Bulbasaur is in great pain, it can no longer fight. Ash gets a Poke-ball and calls it back. Ash is so upset, he reaches for another Poke-ball and throws it into the air. ASH (shouts): Charazard! I choose you! The huge, red fire Pokemon suddenly appears before the bewildered Gime-achu, who watches in amazement as Charazard lays down on it's side and yawns. ASH (sadly): Charazard never obeys me... Charazard soon springs into action when the angry Gimme-achu spits tobacco juice on it. It turns and shoots flame out of it's mouth in Gimme-achu's direction. Instead of burning Gimme-achu, this causes it to evolve. Charazard and Ash watch as the tobacco spitting Pokemon grows and changes form. Ash reaches for his Poke-deck and listens to the description. POKE-DECK (picture of Gimme-asmoke appears on screen): Gimme-asmoke, the tobacco smoking Pokemon. This is the evolved state of Gimme-achew, it's attacks include smoke blast and tobacco fire. At that instant, a canister of tear gas falls on the ground between Gimme-asmoke and Charazard, quickly knocking all of them out. As Ash slowly recovers, he sees three all too familiar forms in the distance. JESSE (shouts): PREPARE FOR TROUBLE!! JAMES (shouts): AND MAKE THAT DOUBLE!! MEOWETH (slaps Jesse and James): Alright, they've all hoid that speech already! Let's grab Pikachu and scram! ASH (pointing): It's Team Rocket! JESSE (laughing): So, you recognize us, you little brat! JAMES (shouting): Where's your Pikachu? ASH (angry): It ran away... Charazard, flame thrower on Team Rocket! Charazard slowly stands up, and flies away, landing on a nearby cliff. ASH (grumbles): He still won't listen to me! MEOWETH (points): Hey youse guys, there's a Pokemon we can grab! ASH (shakes head): I wouldn't do that if I were you! JESSE (shouts): So, the little brat doesn't want us to have it! JAMES (shouts): That's a good reason to take it! ASH (stands up and run away): You'll be sorry! .... Jesse, James and Meoweth surround Gimme-asmoke, ready to throw a huge plastic bag over it. Gimme-asmoke shouts "Gimme-asmoke" and sends out a huge puff of cigarette and cigar smoke that completely covers all the members of Team Rocket. Jesse, James and Meoweth cough and hack until the smoke disapates. JESSE (coughs): That Pokemon sure is powerful, and it smells worse than Gloom! JAMES (throws Poke-ball): Wheezing, poison gas attack! Instantly, Wheezing appears, floats over Gimme-asmoke, and shoots poison gas out of it's mouths. Gimme-asmoke sees this and begins to send fire out of it's hands. MEOWETH (scared): NO!!!! WHEEZING!!!! STOP!!!!!! JAMES (frightened): That fire will ignite the poison gas! A loud explosion occurs, sending James, Jesse, Meoweth and Wheezing flying into the air. JESSE, JAMES AND MEOWETH (together): Looks like Team Rocket is blasting off again! As Team Rocket disappears into the sky, the scene shifts back to Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu, who have returned to their nature path. ASH (relieved): Wow, that was a close one! BROCK (worried): We have to find a Pokemon center soon! Pikachu needs to be treated fast. MISTY (whispers to Ash): Pikachu really needs a bath! Pikachu hears this, shakes off the tobacco juice, and with a loud cry of "Pikachu!" shocks Misty, Brock and Ash. ASH (still glowing): Pikachu hates it when you mention the B word. BROCK (outloud): You mean.... bath? Pikachu shocks all three of them again. ASH (lying on the ground): Does that answer your question, Brock? BROCK (clothes still smoking): Yes, it does Ash. NARRARATOR: And so, once again, our three friends learn an important lesson, about the evils of smokeless tobacco and smoking cigarettes, and ... JESSE (interrupting): HEY! That's not the moral of this story! JAMES (interrupting): YEAH! You've missed the entire plot of this story! NARRARATOR (confused): Well... what is the moral of this story then? MEOWETH (jumps up in front of the TV screen): THIS!!!! Meoweth punchs the Narrarator, knocking him out cold. MEOWETH (smiling): After all of these years, I finally got to belt that twerp! The screen shrinks to the side, and the words "To be continued" appear. ------------------------------------------------------
