This episode is a bit of a wildcard, with an interesting plot direction, right from the start. Ash and the party are walking in Palmpona when they meet Benny and his Wobbuffet. What makes it interesting is that from the get-go, Benny is looking to trade away his Wobuffett, even though he has trained hard with it. This is the first time in the series that we see a Trainer that is actively looking to trade away their Pokémon, and it does strike a moral chord.
During their time in Palmpona, they learn about the Running of the Tauros event, which presents Ash with the opportunity to call Professor Oak to request a transfer of active Pokémon, sending back his Heracross in trade for his Tauros. This leads to an exciting showdown between Ash and Fernando in a Tauros v Tauros mirror match. Ash ends as the victor, which makes Benny want to trade his Wobbuffet for Ash’s Tauros.
Benny ends up setting up a trade at a trading machine with a random Trainer for a Stantler, however the other Trainer pulls out at the last minute. A series of unfortunate events leads to Jessie hitting her head on the machine and her Pokéball containing Lickitung hitting the trade machine in just the right spot. This will absolutely cause some confusion later in the episode.
We end up getting quite a few battle scenes, with Chikorita putting in some work against Team Rocket’s new and surprising Wobbuffet.Benny ends up super excited about his new Lickitung, and we’re sure Lickitung is happier now that he doesn’t have to deal with Team Rocket. Not putting the pieces of the puzzle together, Ash never realizes that this Lickitung once belonged to Jessie. As for Wobbuffett, he may actually enjoy the Rocket Life, and even gets to have a taste of being blasted off in his first episode!
