The gang is having breakfast, while [[May (anime)|May]] practices with her [[May's Beautifly|Beautifly]]. She throws a Frisbee and it uses Gust, throwing the Frisbee back to May. The process is repeated once more, but May throws the Frisbee in the wrong direction, so [[May's Blaziken|Torchic]] goes to get it. Torchic begins to speed up, as the terrain is narrow. Torchic bashes on a rock, but sees the Frisbee. When Torchic begins to take it up, it hears a noise from the grass and looks for the source. The gang goes to find Torchic, but they notice a Pokémon shivering.

''Eliza the therapist shows the kids her fragrance collection and uses a special mixture to make Skitty better while it sleeps. Meanwhile, Team Rocket flies overhead in a balloon and decides to steal some fragrance for their Pokémon.''
−
The Pokémon is Skitty. May goes to meet it and when Skitty gets her attention, May bursts of happiness - she'd like to catch it. Torchic prepares for battle, but Skitty does not want to battle May. [[Brock (anime)|Brock]] offers it food, but Skitty refuses, so it must be tired. Brock leads them to a place, but during their walk, the gang notice Oddish and Weepinbell. The gang arrives to the greenhouse where Skitty will recover.

''Skitty wakes up feeling much better, and May battles it using Torchic. Her attempt to catch Skitty is interrupted by Team Rocket bursting in. Jessie's Seviper uses Haze, causing a lot of confusion. Meowth completely falls for Skitty.''
−
The Skitty will recover with aroma therapy. The woman (which Brock identifies as Eliza and begins to flirt with her) arrives and May explains that Skitty needs rest. Eliza invites them in, and Brock goes to flirt with her more, but [[Max]] pulls his ear. The gang enters in, so Eliza shows the products. Brock tries to impress Eliza, but Max once again pulls his ear. Eliza checks Skitty, so she begins to mix aroma to make it feel better. Eliza made the mixture and releases the smell, so Skitty begins to feel better already.

''Team Rocket flees, but Ash's Taillow wrecks their balloon. They manage to get away with one bag, finding Skitty inside. Jessie claims it as her own, much to Meowth's dismay. He helps Skitty run away.''
⚫
May will stay with Skitty, while the others go out. Team Rocket spots the lab as well, so [[James]] and [[Jessie]] think that their Pokémon would do well to breathe the smell. [[Team Rocket's Meowth|Meowth]] thinks that their boss should be given the mixtures - Giovanni would feel better and a promotion for them would arrive. James reminds that the mixtures are meant for Pokémon, so they stick to James and Jessie's plan. Skitty awakes and plays around. Eliza goes to check Skitty, but Skitty sees [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]]'s tail and goes after it. Skitty after that eats Brock's food.

''May and friends locate Team Rocket, and Jessie and May get into a fight over who gets to catch Skitty. May's Beautifly knocks out Jessie's Dustox. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to send Team Rocket blasting away.''

May still plans to catch it, so she brings out Torchic, despite battling inside the lab. Skitty tackles Torchic. Torchic uses Quick Attack, hitting Skitty. May almost uses a Poké Ball, but the window is destroyed and Team Rocket appears. Jessie sends [[Jessie's Seviper|Seviper]] to use Haze. Team Rocket begins to steal the mixtures, but Skitty appears near Meowth, so he falls in love with it. Brock tackles James, but the mixtures are combined, so every Pokémon gets super-happy, though humans think it smells awful. Team Rocket jumps out through the window with the mixtures and go to the balloon, but Brock takes the mixtures James took already.

Ash sends [[Ash's Corphish|Corphish]] and uses Bubble Beam, hitting Seviper. James brings [[James' Cacnea|Cacnea]] and uses Pin Missile, but Cophish uses Harden. When James sees Weepinbell, he wants to take them, but the rest of Team Rocket flies off. Corphish uses Crabhammer to send James to the balloon. Next, he sends [[Ash's Swellow|Taillow]] and it uses Wing Attack, blasting them off. After the battle, Brock saved a bottle, but May does not see Skitty. Team Rocket has blasted off and Jessie sees the mixtures, with no bottle being broken. Skitty appears out of the bag, making Meowth in love.

Skitty plays around. Jessie is happy, so she wants to capture it, but Meowth isn't thrilled, as Skitty would be blasted off every time. Meowth then tries to convince that it should be given to the boss, making him happier. Jessie isn't convinced, as she thinks it is her own. Meowth goes with Skitty, so he tells her to go away, but Skitty is still happy and stays with him. Meowth throws a rock to make her go away, so Skitty goes to catch the rock. Jessie appears, asking where Skitty is, but Meowth replies she got away. Jessie is ultra-furious and kicks Meowth, but Meowth hasn't forgotten that "it is all for the best".

As Max, Ash and Brock are having breakfast, [[May (anime)|May]] practices with her [[May's Beautifly|Beautifly]]. She throws a frisbee at Beautifly, who gusts the frisbee back to May. May is glad Beautifly has succeeded, knowing for sure she will win the next Contest. May throws the frisbee once more, allowing Beautifly to master the technique. Suddenly, May throws the frisbee in the wrong direction, so [[May's Blaziken|Torchic]] runs off to get it. Torchic begins to speed up, as the slope is quite narrow and bashes into a rock. Regardless, Torchic sees the frisbee. When Torchic is about to take it, it hears a noise coming from the grass. The heroes follow Torchic and find it with a pink Pokémon, who is shivering. The Pokémon is Skitty, which May finds adorable and wants to catch it. Torchic prepares for battle, but Skitty does not want to battle May, as it looks sick. [[Brock (anime)|Brock]] offers it food, but Skitty refuses, so it must be tired.

Brock promises to take care of the problem and leads his friends to a place. During their walk, the heroes notice some Oddish and Weepinbell. Eventually, they arrive to the greenhouse close to the Pokémon Aromatherapy Laboratory, where Skitty should recover. Ash wonders if aromatherapy is a new Pokémon, but is told the fragrances of the flowers should cure Skitty of its illness. A woman, which Brock identifies as Eliza, who owns this laboratory arrives. While Max suspects Brock led them here because of a girl, May explains Skitty is ill. Eliza invites them in, and Brock goes to flirt with her more, but [[Max]] pulls him by his ear. Brock tries to impress Eliza, but Max once again pulls his ear. Inside the laboratory, Eliza shows a lot of potions, which are fragrances from grass-type Pokémon. Brock admits he always loves aromatherapy as much as Eliza, causing him to be pulled once again by Max. Eliza examines Skitty, but doubts it is actually ill. Nevertheless, she begins to mix potions to make a healing fragrance. After making the mixture, Eliza releases the smell, allowing Skitty begins to feel better already. May, however, decides to stay a bit with Skitty.
⚫
The gang searches for Skitty. Taillow has found Skitty, so everybody goes after it. They see Team Rocket's balloon blasted off. Eliza sends Oddish and uses Sweet Scent. Team Rocket search for Skitty, but Meowth and [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] smell Oddish's scent. May demands to know what happened to Skitty, but Skitty appears, so Meowth tries to make it run away. Jessie hears Meowth's words, but Meowth stops. Jessie sends [[Jessie's Dustox|Dustox]] and May sends her Beautifly. Beautifly uses Gust, but Dustox uses Tackle. Beautifly dodges, so Dustox uses Psybeam. Beautifly dodges the attacks and uses Tackle, hitting Dustox and uses Gust, knocking Team Rocket. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, blasting them off.
  
   
  ⚫
Eliza takes the boys out and show them the garden, where the Oddish are walking to release their scent. Team Rocket spots the lab as well, so [[James]] and [[Jessie]] think that their Pokémon would do well to breathe the smell. [[Team Rocket's Meowth|Meowth]] thinks that their boss should be given the mixtures, who would feel better and a promotion for them would arrive. James reminds the mixtures are meant for Pokémon, so they decide to just use the fragrances to improve their Pokémon. As Brock, Ash and Max come to May, Skitty awakes and plays around by chasing its own tail. Ash tries to grab its attention, but Skitty just fools around. Eliza goes to check Skitty (causing Brock to flirt with her and Max to pull him away), but Skitty sees [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]]'s tail and goes after it. May grabs it, while Eliza suspects Skitty was just worn out from all the playing. Afterwards, Skitty eats Brock's food. May still plans to catch it, so she sends out Torchic, despite battling inside the lab. Skitty tackles Torchic, who uses Quick Attack, hitting Skitty. May almost uses a Poké Ball, but the window is destroyed and Team Rocket appears (dressed in royal clothes).

May holds Skitty and uses a Poké Ball, but Skitty thinks it is a toy. However, when it touches, Skitty goes into the ball and is captured. Eliza gives the gang directions to Fallarbor Town.

Jessie sends [[Jessie's Seviper|Seviper]] to use Haze. Team Rocket begins to steal the mixtures, but Skitty appears near Meowth, and he falls in love with it.

Elsewhere, James is depressed they didn't get to catch the Weepinbell. Jessie examines the mixtures, with no bottle being broken. Skitty appears out of the bag, causing Meowth to fall in love. Skitty notices Meowth's tail and starts playing with it. Jessie is amused by Skitty, so she wants to capture it, but Meowth isn't thrilled, as Skitty would be blasted off every time they encountered the twerps. Meowth tries to convince Skitty should be given to the boss, to make him happier. Jessie isn't convinced, as she thinks it should belong to her, so Meowth decides to go with Skitty to give her some fresh water. Meowth is alone with Skitty and tells her to go away, warning she will have a rough life with Jessie. Skitty is still happy and stays with Meowth. Meowth throws a rock to make her go away, so Skitty goes to catch the rock. Jessie appears, asking where Skitty is, but Meowth replies she got away.

Team Rocket comes to their enemies, so May demands to know what happened to Skitty. Suddenly, Skitty appears, so Meowth tries to make her run away. Jessie hears Meowth's words, but the latter stops. May goes to reach Skitty, but so does Jessie, causing them to be angry at each other. Jessie sends [[Jessie's Dustox|Dustox]] and May sends her Beautifly. Beautifly uses Gust, but Dustox uses Tackle.

I Feel Skitty! (Japanese: エネコとアロマテラピー！, Hepburn: Skitty and Aromatherapy!) is the 7th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Challenge.

Synopsis

May is practicing for her next Pokémon Contest, when Torchic finds a Skitty in the bushes. May wants to catch it, but it's too sick to battle. Brock leads the group to the Greenhouse, where Skitty can be healed using Aromatherapy.

Eliza the therapist shows the kids her fragrance collection and uses a special mixture to make Skitty better while it sleeps. Meanwhile, Team Rocket flies overhead in a balloon and decides to steal some fragrance for their Pokémon.

Skitty wakes up feeling much better, and May battles it using Torchic. Her attempt to catch Skitty is interrupted by Team Rocket bursting in. Jessie's Seviper uses Haze, causing a lot of confusion. Meowth completely falls for Skitty.

Team Rocket flees, but Ash's Taillow wrecks their balloon. They manage to get away with one bag, finding Skitty inside. Jessie claims it as her own, much to Meowth's dismay. He helps Skitty run away.

May and friends locate Team Rocket, and Jessie and May get into a fight over who gets to catch Skitty. May's Beautifly knocks out Jessie's Dustox. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to send Team Rocket blasting away.

May takes out her Poké Ball to catch Skitty, but Skitty knocks it out of her hand and jumps into it. As they're walking away, Skitty jumps out of the Poké Ball.[1]

Episode plot

As Max, Ash and Brock are having breakfast, May practices with her Beautifly. She throws a frisbee at Beautifly, who gusts the frisbee back to May. May is glad Beautifly has succeeded, knowing for sure she will win the next Contest. May throws the frisbee once more, allowing Beautifly to master the technique. Suddenly, May throws the frisbee in the wrong direction, so Torchic runs off to get it. Torchic begins to speed up, as the slope is quite narrow and bashes into a rock. Regardless, Torchic sees the frisbee. When Torchic is about to take it, it hears a noise coming from the grass. The heroes follow Torchic and find it with a pink Pokémon, who is shivering. The Pokémon is Skitty, which May finds adorable and wants to catch it. Torchic prepares for battle, but Skitty does not want to battle May, as it looks sick. Brock offers it food, but Skitty refuses, so it must be tired.

Brock promises to take care of the problem and leads his friends to a place. During their walk, the heroes notice some Oddish and Weepinbell. Eventually, they arrive to the greenhouse close to the Pokémon Aromatherapy Laboratory, where Skitty should recover. Ash wonders if aromatherapy is a new Pokémon, but is told the fragrances of the flowers should cure Skitty of its illness. A woman, which Brock identifies as Eliza, who owns this laboratory arrives. While Max suspects Brock led them here because of a girl, May explains Skitty is ill. Eliza invites them in, and Brock goes to flirt with her more, but Max pulls him by his ear. Brock tries to impress Eliza, but Max once again pulls his ear. Inside the laboratory, Eliza shows a lot of potions, which are fragrances from grass-type Pokémon. Brock admits he always loves aromatherapy as much as Eliza, causing him to be pulled once again by Max. Eliza examines Skitty, but doubts it is actually ill. Nevertheless, she begins to mix potions to make a healing fragrance. After making the mixture, Eliza releases the smell, allowing Skitty begins to feel better already. May, however, decides to stay a bit with Skitty.

Eliza takes the boys out and show them the garden, where the Oddish are walking to release their scent. Team Rocket spots the lab as well, so James and Jessie think that their Pokémon would do well to breathe the smell. Meowth thinks that their boss should be given the mixtures, who would feel better and a promotion for them would arrive. James reminds the mixtures are meant for Pokémon, so they decide to just use the fragrances to improve their Pokémon. As Brock, Ash and Max come to May, Skitty awakes and plays around by chasing its own tail. Ash tries to grab its attention, but Skitty just fools around. Eliza goes to check Skitty (causing Brock to flirt with her and Max to pull him away), but Skitty sees Pikachu's tail and goes after it. May grabs it, while Eliza suspects Skitty was just worn out from all the playing. Afterwards, Skitty eats Brock's food. May still plans to catch it, so she sends out Torchic, despite battling inside the lab. Skitty tackles Torchic, who uses Quick Attack, hitting Skitty.

Jessie is super-furious and kicks Meowth, but Meowth hasn't forgotten that "it is all for the best".

The heroes search for Skitty. Taillow has found something, so everybody goes after it. They see Team Rocket's broken balloon, but nobody's present, including Skitty. Eliza sends Oddish, who uses Sweet Scent. Team Rocket searches for Skitty, but Meowth and Wobbuffet smell Oddish's scent. Team Rocket comes to their enemies, so May demands to know what happened to Skitty. Suddenly, Skitty appears, so Meowth tries to make her run away. Jessie hears Meowth's words, but the latter stops. May goes to reach Skitty, but so does Jessie, causing them to be angry at each other. Jessie sends Dustox and May sends her Beautifly. Beautifly uses Gust, but Dustox uses Tackle. Beautifly dodges, so Dustox uses Psybeam. Beautifly dodges the attack and uses Tackle, hitting Dustox. Beautifly uses Gust, knocking it onto Team Rocket, while Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to blast them off.

May holds Skitty and uses a Poké Ball, but Skitty thinks it is a toy. However, when Skitty touches the Ball, it goes inside it and is captured. Eliza gives the heroes directions to Fallarbor Town. Brock tries to flirt, but is once more taken by Max. The heroes go onwards and bid farewell to Eliza, who wishes May luck in her Contest. Just then, Skitty comes out from its Poké Ball and plays around.

Trivia

  • Featured Pokémon: Silcoon, Weezing, Sableye, Marill.
    • The "Trainer's Choice" answer is Weezing.
  • Following Misty's example, from this episode, Max will pull Brock's ears when he flirts.
  • This episode's dub name is a pun on the West Side Story song, "I Feel Pretty!"
  • James wanting to catch a group of Weepinbell is a possible reference to his now released Victreebel which he caught as a Weepinbell.

Mistakes

  • When Ash asks which Pokémon Skitty is, Brock's jacket was incorrectly colored.
  • Lee Quick is incorrectly spelled as "Lee Qucik" and is credited in this episode despite not having any roles in it.
  • Meowth's eyelid is not colored in when he says "But, Skitty..."
  • Despite the answer to the Trainer's Choice being Weezing, it is not very effective against Silcoon.
