It was another glorious day in Metropolis, as Ash, N, and Lita were helping Jessica at the pet adoption center.

Dewey: All right, team, gather round. [sighs] Okay. So today, we're gonna try to beat last year's goal and get... ...three pets adopted.

Jessica: Three? Why stop at three? I say we get all these pets adopted. Who is with me?

Ash and Lita: Yeah!

Pikachu: [determined] PIKA!

Jessica: Forever homes! Forever homes! Forever homes! That's the spirit. Now... Let's house some pets.

Dewey: Wow, Jess. You've got a real gift for pairing animals with families.

Jessica: Well, I believe there's a perfect owner for every pet. It's up to us to find them.

Ash: Yeah! You're really good at this, Jess!

Jessica: Thanks, Ash! And thanks again for helping me today!

Ash: No problem! It was pretty fun!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Lita: I second that!

N: Indeed!

Ash: Yep! Lita has a thing or two here with pets!

Lita: Oh, Ash [kisses his cheek]!

Pikipek: [lands on Jessica's shoulder] PIKIPEK!

Ash: [gasps] A Pikipek! [takes out Rotom Phone]

Ash's Rotom Phone: Pikipek, the Woodpecker Pokémon. A Normal and Flying type. This Pokémon feeds on berries, whose leftover seeds become the ammunition for the attacks it fires off from its mouth.

Ash: Jess, is it yours?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Jessica: Yep! Caught it the other day! [nuzzles it] And it's really cute!

Pikipek: [happy] PIKI!

Ash: That's awesome, Jess! Now you have three Pokémon!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Jessica: Yep! [gives Pikipek a Sitrus Berry] Here, Pikipek! Snack time!

Pikipek: [eating Sitrus Berry] PIKI PIKI PIKI PIKI!

Jessica: Hungry little guy, aren't you?

Pikipek: [nods] PIKI! [Bullet Seed move] PIKIPEK!

Ash: That's Bullet Seed!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Lita: Whoa!

N: Impressive!

Jessica: Easy with the attack, Pikipek!

Pikipek: [lands on her shoulder] PIKIPEK!

When they went to put a few cages away in storage...

Jessica: [gasps]

[lights switching on]

[electricity crackling]

Jessica: Hello?

[thudding in distance]

Ash: [reads danger sign] Say's here it's a cat named Dexter.
