For Crying Out Loud

Chikorita's Big Upset
A severe case of rivalry between Pikachu and Chikorita calls for therapy sessions with Nurse Joy (schooled in Pokémon psychology at the Pokémon Institute).

The following day, when Team Rocket attacks, Ash will need all his Pokémon to overcome their latest challenge.
