Chapter 161: Misty Send Her Psyduck To Breeding Center And chef's Favourite Pokemon Psyduck?!

(Continuing on their journey, Mew and her friends decide to take a break.)

(Their friend, Todd, a photographer, decides to take some Pokemon pictures.)

Misty: "Come on, turn around, Togepi. Now, don't be shy. Turn and say 'Togepi'."

(Misty says as Togepi sits on her lap.)

(Togepi happily turns around and says.)

Togepi: "Togepi!" (I'm Togepi!)

(Then Todd takes pictures of Togepi.)

Todd: "Great! That was a cool shot,"

(Todd says.)

(Suddenly, they hear a voice.)

weather anchor: "Now, a Pokemon weather update!

(The group turns to see the T.V screen on one of the buildings showing the weather.)

(The weather anchor says.)

weather anchor: "Our area will remain clear and sunny today with highs in the upper seventies.

Mew: "Sounds like good weather!"

(Mew says.)

Pikachu: "Pikachu," (Pretty, too.)

(Pikachu agrees.)

Todd: "It should be great for taking pictures,"

(Todd says.)

(After the weather, a commercial comes up.)

commercial: "Pokemon love power! Find it at our Five Star Breeding Center, where every Pokemon is treated like a loved one."

(Then the commercial shows a Charmander.)

commercial: "This guest evolved into a Charmeleon, and then into a Charizard, in just a few short days. At the Five Star Breeding Center, a little pampering goes a long way. Let our experts provide your Pokemon with our loving care. So why go through all the fuss when you can bring your Pokemon to us?"

Tomo: "What's that?"

(Tomo asks.)

Brock: "Looks like somebody just opened up a new breeding center,"

(Brock says.)

Mew: "Breeding Center?"

(Mew says, confused.)

Todd: "The newest thing! Breeding Centers raise Pokemon for kids who can't themselves. It's like a Pokemon spa,"

(Todd says.)

Misty: "A really excellent breeding center can even help your Pokemon evolve,"

(Misty says.)

Mew: "Wow! Let's go check it out!"

(Mew says, interested.)

Tomo: "Yeah,"

(Tomo replies.)

(Mew and her friends decide to check out the breeding center.)

(Soon, they see the place is crowded.)

(In front of the center, there is a woman with gold hair in long low pigtails, purple eyes, and wears triangle magenta earrings.)

(She is also wearing a lab coat.)

(The lady in front of the building says.)

woman: "There's no need to push! We have plenty of rooms left in our luxury suites! We guarantee your Pokemon will soon be like new, and some may even evolve!"

Misty: "She seems really nice,"

(Misty says.)

(Brock takes a closer look and is head over heels for her.)

woman: "And do you know why we're so popular? It's because we believe in love,"

(The woman says.)

(She picks up a trainer's Sandshrew and says.)

woman: "We feel every Pokemon is lovable. We believe in Pokemon love power!"

man: "Love power!"

(A man says.)

(The man is also wearing a lab coat as well.)

(He has maroon colored eyes and green hair.)

(Brock blushes and says.)

Brock: "Love. Power."

Todd: "Wow! She sure knows how to attract customers,"

(Todd says.)

Misty: "Yeah,"

(Misty says, suspiciously.)

(In the center, there is a large pack of people ready to send their Pokemon.)

woman: "Our next guest,"

(The woman says.)

man: "Right this way, please,"

(The man says, putting his Pokemon on the conveyor belt.)

(He pushes the button and the Pokemon rolls right inside.)

(Misty comes to the front desk.)

Misty: "I have a Pokemon, too!"

(Shocked and slightly embarrassed, the woman says.)

woman: "Well, you're in the right place."

Misty: "So, what do I have to do to check my Pokemon in here?"

(Misty quickly asks.)

(Mew walks over and asks.)

Mew: "Misty, you're leaving one here?"

Misty: "Yep. I'll give it a try,"

(Misty answers.)

Todd: "But, which Pokemon? Not your Staryu!"

(Todd replies.)

(Then Brock says.)

Brock: "Togepi's too young."

(Misty answers as she places Psyduck on the table.)

Misty: "My Psyduck! I wanna leave my Psyduck here with you."

woman: "It's so cute. Don't you just adore those eyes? They're bright and bouncy as ping pong balls!"

(The woman says, looking at Psyduck.)

Misty: "Yeah, and I wish I had a paddle,"

(Misty mutters.)

woman: "So, then, is there anything special you'd like us to do?"

(The woman asks.)

Misty: "For starters, you might try knocking some common sense into its big, empty head,"

(Misty says.)

(Then harshly ruffles Psyduck's head.)

Misty: "There's an awful lot of unused space in here!"

(The woman looks over and says.)

woman: "That's strange, it looks intelligent to me."

(Todd and Brock nearly fall over.)

Misty: "And you have to change this clueless looking face,"

(Misty says, stretching her Pokemon's face.)

Mew: "I think Psyduck is already fine,"

(Mew comments.)

woman: "Funny you should say that. Our motto here at the breeding center is: 'A little Pokemon love power works miracles'."

(The woman says, and holds out a peace sign.)

(Soon, Psyduck is given tag #12.)

(and ride on the conveyor belt to the back of the center.)

(Mew calls out.)

Mew: "Have fun, Psyduck."

Misty: "Bye, Psyduck. Good luck,"

(Misty says.)

(Soon Psyduck disappears to the back of the store.)

(Later on, Mew and the others are walking down the street.)

Misty: "Psyduck will prove if that place is any good,"

(Misty says.)

Mew: "Do you think Psyduck will be okay?"

(Mew says.)

Misty: "I'm sure Psyduck will be fine, Mew. Don't worry,"

(Misty says.)

Mew: "Well, I think Psyduck has some good points,"

(Mew says.)

Misty: "That's true. I caught Psyduck so I'll still keep him, even if he is annoying,"

(Misty says.)

(Todd then stops in front of a restaurant.)

Todd: "That looks tasty."

(The group stops and looks to see the restaurant themselves.)

Brock: "Hey, it's a restaurant!"

(Brock says.)

Misty: "Come to think of it, I'm really starving!"

(Misty says.)

(Soon, Mew notices.)

Mew: "Hey, look at this!"

(The group looks at a sign, which makes Misty happy.)

Misty: "All you can eat, for free?! Alright! I'm heading straight for the desert bar!"

(and chuckles with a grin.)

(Confused, Mew asks.)

Mew: "It can't really be free, can it?"

(But Todd says.)

Todd: "There's gotta be a catch. Like, you gotta order ten dinners to get one free."

Misty: "I'd eat 10 dinners if they came with 10 deserts,"

(Misty says.)

(Mew turns to Misty with a confused face.)

(Just then, the chef comes out of the restaurant with laughter and says.)

Chef: "No need to eat that much, unless ya'll really want to! The buffet is free on one condition!"

Everyone: "What's the condition?"

(The group asks.)

chef: "Well, just show me my favorite Pokemon and I'll treat you to all the food you can eat! Plus, all the desserts you can eat, too!"

(The chef answers.)

Mew: "Your favorite Pokemon, huh?"

(Mew replies.)

Misty: "I'm sure one of us has your favorite!"

(Misty says.)

(Mew throws all her Pokeballs.)

Mew: "I'll go first,"

(With that, Mew releases all of her Pokemon.)

(Even Pikachu and Eevee present themselves to the chef.)

chef: "My, you sure have some unique Pokemon, but none of these are my favorite,"

(The chef says.)

Mew: "Oh well,"

(Mew says.)

(Brock then says.)

Brock: "I'll go next!"

Tomo: "Me too!"

(Tomo replies.)

(Then releases all of their Pokemon, and has been presented to the chef.)

chef: "You sure have interesting Pokemon as well, but none of them is it,"

(The chef says.)

Misty: "Well, how about my Pokemon? I even got Togepi."

(Misty replies, and releases all her Pokemon.)

chef: "None of them is my favorite, but you came close,"

(The chef says.)

Misty: "Came close?"

(Misty says, confused.)

chef: "Yes. Your Golduck is nice, even though it's not my favorite. However, it's the closest to my favorite,"

(The chef says.)

Todd: "Golduck is close to your favorite?"

(Todd says, confused.)

(The group begins to think as they try to understand what the chef means.)

(Suddenly, Mew realizes that not only they have one.)

(more pokemon in their group, but it's as close to Golduck as it can be.)

Mew: "I got it… Psyduck! Psyduck is your favorite Pokemon, isn't it?"

(Mew asks.)

chef: "You are correct, miss,"

(The chef says.)

(And shows the picture of Psyduck.)

chef: "That's my favorite Pokemon."

Brock: "You're a Psyduck fan?"

(Brock asks, surprised.)

(Seeing the picture Todd says.)

Todd: "Hey! That looks like a picture I took!"

chef: "I think Psyduck is the greatest thing since the invention of the microwave oven! I'm such a big fan that whenever a customer brings in a Psyduck, I let em eat for free,"

(The chef says.)

(Todd turns to Mew.)

Todd: "Hey Mew, how do you know his favorite Pokemon is Psyduck?"

Mew: "Well, nothing is closer to Golduck than a Psyduck,"

(Mew says.)

Brock: "She's right. Psyduck is Golduck's pre-evolved form,"

(Brock says.)

(Misty turns to the chef and asks.)

Misty: "Sir, if we come back in a couple of minutes, will you be here?"

chef: "Sure, I've gotta wait here for a delivery of fifty gallons of ice cream,"

(The chef says.)

Misty: "Yay! Yay! Yay!"

(Misty happily cheers with laughter and says.)

Misty: "Back in a flash!"

(Then Misty runs off, Mew and the others hurry after her.)

Misty: "That's typical. It figures Psyduck isn't around the one time I really need it!"

(Misty says.)

Mew: "You're the one who left it at that center,"

(Mew replies.)

(However, when Mew and her friend arrive at the center, there's a close sign in front of it.)

Misty: "It's already closed!"

(Misty says, shocked.)

Brock: "Guess we'll have to come back tomorrow!"

(Brock says.)

(Then Todd says.)

Todd: "We won't get that free buffet today."

(But Misty says.)

Misty: "No way! I'm getting into that dessert bar now! There might not be any ice cream left tomorrow! Let's go see if there's a back way!"

(And stomps off.)
