Snivy Plays Hard to Catch! (Japanese: ツタージャ・ゲットでメロメロ！？, Hepburn: Snivy—Capture and Attract It!?) is the 7th episode of Pokémon: Black & White.
Synopsis
Now accompanied by Cilan and Iris, Ash is headed toward Nacrene City and his second Gym battle. On their way, the three Trainers come across a wild Snivy. Of course, Ash’s first reaction is to catch this intelligent and speedy Pokémon, but the wily Snivy doesn’t give up easily, ensnaring most of Ash’s team with a devastating Attract move. After Pikachu, Oshawott, and Tepig all fall prey to Snivy’s charms, Ash enlists the aid of his Pidove, who turns out to be a girl—and thus immune to Snivy’s Attract! Finally, after some intense battling, the weary Snivy finally stays in its Poké Ball, and Ash has his fourth Unova region Pokémon![1]
Episode plot
As the heroes go towards Nacrene City, Ash and Pikachu get hungry. Iris promises she will take care of things. A moment later, she comes back with fruit. Ash and Iris go to eat, but Cilan stops them, as he can prepare the food. Cilan cooks the food and gives it to Ash, Iris, Pikachu and Axew, who enjoy the food and think he is a good chef. After they ate, Ash and Iris go to get more, but they don't see any other food. The heroes are surprised to see the food gone, then hear something moving in the grass. Ash sneaks and sees it is a Snivy. Ash throws his Poké Ball, but Snivy frees itself and throws the Ball back. Nevertheless, Ash is determined to catch it.
As Snivy eats the food, Pikachu uses Quick Attack, though Snivy dodges, as Cilan tells Ash it is smart and fast. Snivy finishes the food and goes to battle. It starts with Attract, causing Pikachu to fall in love with her, as Attract works on Pokémon of opposite gender. Snivy uses Vine Whip, hitting Pikachu. She does it once more, but Ash protect Pikachu, surprising her. Snivy uses Leaf Storm and vanishes. Iris thinks Snivy was abandoned, as she must've had a bad trainer, as Cilan stated they were smart and fast. Cilan is not surprised, but Ash wants to catch her even more, sending Pidove to track her down. Meanwhile, Giovanni contacts Team Rocket and reports a secret organization in Unova may be aware of them. After logging out, James tells they need to be prepared by catching more Pokémon.
They encounter Snivy, so Jessie throws her Poké Ball, but Snivy dodges. Meowth goes to scratch Snivy, but a moment later, he sees he scratched a rock, surprising himself.

Pidove reports to its master, who is glad to see Snivy is found. Snivy wakes up and sees Ash, who challenges her to a battle. Oshawott comes out and Ash sees he wants to battle Snivy, so allows him that. Snivy knocks out a rock, which causes more rocks to slide down, so Ash, Pikachu and Oshawott hide behind a stone.
