Nurse Joy tells them that there are many kind of berries, so they kept the blenders inside the Pokemon Center. May goes away, experimenting. Meowth, Jessie and James are tending the plants.

It is a Munchlax, so Team Rocket demand that it apologises, but it doesn't. As they go to get it, they see some Berry blenders inside the Center. Meowth has made a plan and tells it to Jessie and James, who agree with him.

Inside the Center, Brock and Max spot the people mixing the Berries.

Brock imagines trying to impress Nurse Joy, while Max sees it is only a fantasy. May arrives with a basket full of Berries. May, who has harvested a lot of Berries, plans on making new Pokéblocks to improve her Pokémon for the Grand Festival.

She calls it "May's Purple Surprise". May cuts the Berries and blends them. The Pokéblocks come out and Brock and Max eat them.

Suddenly, the children notice their Pokéblocks are gone. Everyone begins to suspect Munchlax ate it, though May stands in its guard.

May sends Combusken, but Munchlax is gone. They see it on a tree, eating more Berries. May offers her Purple Surprise, in which Munchlax is interested into.

Team Rocket is seen mixing Berries, so Jessie plans to steal Pikachu as well. James goes to eat one last Berry, which is the Tamato Berry, so his lips are on swollen.

Jessie grabs Pikachu in a moment and Team Rocket takes off their disguises.

May throws the Poké Ball, but Munchlax eats it. However, it has been captured from inside. Ash, Brock and Max are amazed by this wild catch, but Nurse Joy shows May has a Munchlax now.

Berry, Berry Interesting (Japanese: ハルカデリシャスで、ゴンベGETかも!!, HepburnWith May's Purple Surprise, Catch Munchlax!!) is the 26th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Battle.

Synopsis

When our heroes pass through a village rich with wild berries, May takes the opportunity to create some original Pokéblock, noting that nutrition and health are key to performing well in Pokémon Contests. No sooner does she whip up her first batch though than a Munchlax arrives and eats everything. Nonetheless, May takes a liking to this ravenous Pokémon and begins a new batch without any gripes. But when Team Rocket secretly steals Pokéblock from a number of trainers in town, and Munchlax is made the scapegoat, it’s up to our heroes to recover the Pokéblock and restore Munchlax’s good name.[1]

Episode plot

The heroes are going towards Slateport City, where May's Grand Festival will be held. As they stop on an island, they spot a lot of Berries. Ash gets one and eats it, only to have its mouth burned by its spiciness. At the Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy is terrified, thinking Ash is a monster with his big lips. Brock, as always, flirts with her, so Max pulls his ears. The gang wants Joy to look after their Pokémon, so Joy accepts this duty. Ash goes away to practice Snorunt's Ice Beam; Pikachu goes after him, but bashes into the automatic doors. A group of children pass by, planning to make Pokéblocks.

Nurse Joy tells them that there are many kind of Berries, so they keep the blenders inside the Pokémon Center. May has an idea and goes away. Meowth, Jessie and James are tending the plants. Meowth isn't impressed they are trimming the hedges, but James reminds him the twerps are bound to visit the Pokémon Center sooner or later. Meowth is exhausted, so Jessie and James threaten him to work, as they are out of money. Jessie and James also lie down and daydream, thinking about the shapes of clouds. Suddenly, a Pokémon stomps on their bellies. It is a Munchlax, so Team Rocket demands that it apologizes. Munchlax ignores them, so Team Rocket pursues it. As they go to get it, they see some Berry Blenders inside the Center. Meowth makes a plan and tells it to Jessie and James, who agree with him. Outside, Snorunt uses Ice Beam, but before it hits the target, it dissipates. Snorunt tries again, but it goes up and down to Ash. Ash unfreezes himself and his lips are back to normal.

Inside the Center, Brock and Max spot the people mixing the Berries. Max wonders why would anyone use a spicy Tamato Berry, so Brock explains it adds an interesting flavor, as long as it is not overused. Joy arrives to them, stating the best way to know which Pokéblock is the best is to experiment. Joy tells them they are welcome to grab any Berries to make the Pokéblocks. Brock imagines trying to impress Nurse Joy, while Max sees it is only a fantasy. May arrives with a basket full of Berries. May, who has harvested a lot of Berries, plans on making new Pokéblocks to improve her Pokémon for the Grand Festival. Brock tells her too much or too little Berries can ruin the effect, so gives her the cookbook Natalie gave to him. However, May tells him she got a recipe of her own. She calls it "May's Purple Surprise". May cuts the Berries and blends them. The Pokéblocks come out and Brock and Max eat them. However, Brock notes the flavor is quite unusual, while Max comments that can't be called a flavor, which makes May angry.
