Having Snubbull as a companion of the group, Mew and her friends are enjoying a leafy green oasis right in the middle of a busy metropolis.
Misty lets out a sight, "It must be nice to live here in the city and have such a beautiful park so nearby.
"Yeah, and it's pretty nice for us, too. We can cut through here and get right to the center of town," Brock says.
Suddenly, Pikachu and Eevee sense something moving in the bushes close by.
Mew notices and asks, "What is it guys?"
Mew and the others turn their heads to see something moving towards them.
Misty says, "Don't move! It'll see us!"
"With eyes that big, it'll see us anyway," Tomo says.
Mew squints her eyes and says, "Wait a minute, those aren't eyes. Those look like antlers."
"Mew's right. Take another look, guys," Brock says.
"Hmm, I think you're right. Those look like antlers," Jen says.
"Snubbull," (I agree.) Snubbull replies.
Soon, the head the antlers are attached to pops out of the bushes, revealing to be a Stantler.
"It's a Stantler," Tomo says.
"Let's see what Dexter says," Mew says, and takes out her Pokedex.
Dexter says, "Stantler, the Big Horn Pokemon. A Normal Type. The eye-like shapes at the base of its horns produce a pleasant odor that has a bewildering effect on anyone who smells it. It can also create startling, realistic illusions by shaking its horns. Stantler form horns and live in mountainous terrain.
"Wow. I wonder what it's doing so close to the city. Especially all alone," Misty says.
"You're right. From the size of it. I think that's a baby Stantler," Mew says.
"Yeah. It probably got lost," Brock says.
He crouches down and puts down his backpack, as he says, "Easy, now, pal. These little ones scare pretty easily, so to get close to one, you have to act like a Stantler so it thinks you're one of them." He then scratches the back of his left ear with his left foot, "You have to use Stantler psychology."
The baby Stantler looks confused at Brock's behavior.
"Stay, still. I'm a, Stantler, too," Brock says as he crawls closer to it.
Brock then licks his hand with his hand with his face as the shocked and bewildered Stantler begins to back off.
"Brock, you're scaring it," Mew says.
"Pika/Eev," (He is.) Pikachu and Eevee reply.
"He's definitely scaring me," Misty says.
Then Brock begins to scratch his back against the tree, "It may seem a little stand-offish, but I think we're developing an instinctual connection on a primal level!"
"Brock, you're being ridiculous right now," Mew says.
She then gently approaches the little Stantler.
She kneels down gently and says, "Hello little guy, are you okay? Are you lost?"
Just then, Brock and Mew notice a welt on Stantler's front left leg
"It looks like its leg is hurt!" Brock says.
"And it looks really bad. We need to fix it right away," Mew says.
Brock then sits down and gets out a packet of Pokemon food. He pours some food pellets into his hand.
Come on. Chow time," Brock says, and presents it to Stantler, "You're gonna like this."
