<section begin="Synopsis"/>''On the way to Celestic Town, Ash and his friends are camped at a mountain cabin. While Dawn trains and Ash snoozes, Brock goes down the mountain to visit a pharmacy. That leaves Ash and Dawn in charge of the Pokémon, and their first task is to give the Pokémon a shower. Ash accidentally blasts Pachirisu with cold water, but everything seems to go smoothly. After that, it's lunchtime and a siesta! But naptime is cut short when Pachirisu comes down with a bad fever and there's no Pokémon Center in the area.''<section end="Synopsis"/>
The scene opens to Dawn practicing Contest moves, while Ash is wondering how to counter Fantina's Drifblim's Hypnosis. But he ends up falling asleep himself, so Pikachu wakes him up, slightly annoyed. Brock emerges, and he and Dawn remind Ash he’s going to get Pokémon medicine. He gives them a list of things to do and he and his Pokémon depart.

''While Staravia goes out to find Brock, Ash has Buneary use Ice Beam to make an ice pack for Pachirisu's fever. The little Pokémon is still unwell, and Dawn and Ash argue over whose fault it was before they realize they need to find the berries that Brock uses for sick Pokémon. Meanwhile, Team Rocket sees a Zapdos fly by and try to hit it with a cannon full of sticky goo, but they hit Staravia instead. It manages to evade them, but now it can't fly. When Staravia fails to return, Ash sends Gliscor out to get Brock instead.''
Ash reads the list and calls out his Pokémon for showers. When it’s Pachirisu’s turn, Ash accidentally sprays it with cool water. Dawn scolds him, and he turns on the warm water. Everyone has showered, and they cheer that they're finished. Team Rocket then flies in on a desperate hunt for the twerps and Pikachu. Jessie calls out for them, but gets furious when James and Meowth point out the twerps would not answer.

''Alerted by Gliscor, Brock runs back to the cabin and realizes that Pachirisu may have a build-up of excess electricity. Once he drains the extra charge and treats Pachirisu with medicine and Oran Berries, it's on its way to a speedy recovery—just in time to be stolen by Team Rocket, who spotted the cabin! But Staravia found some friendly Wooper to clean the gunk off its wing, and it returns in time to free Pachirisu from Team Rocket's net. Then Buneary and a healthy Pachirisu team up to blast Team Rocket back where they came from. It looks like a happy ending all around, except that they forgot about one Pokémon: poor Gliscor, still struggling up the long road back to the cabin!''<ref>{{Cite|url = https://www.pokemon.com/us/animation/seasons/11/episode-42-doc-brock/|entry = Doc Brock! {{!}} Pokémon TV (pokemon.com)|title = The Official Pokémon Website {{!}} Pokemon.com|access-date = {{MDY|1|31|2024}}}}</ref>
Ash says it’s lunchtime, so Dawn and Pikachu cook pancakes. The group is delighted by how great they taste, and Pachirisu even asks for more! Team Rocket is also eating, though they have a large bag of chips. They happily lay on their backs, their larger stomachs showing.
 
   
 
==Episode plot==
While all the Pokémon are taking a nap, Ash is still trying to figure out how to keep his Pokémon awake, but falls asleep once more. Dawn scolds him, and Pikachu burst through the door, showing something is terribly wrong. Ash and Dawn rush out to see Pachirisu has a high fever. They rush inside to find a Pokémon Center, but there’s not one close by. Ash suggests they get Brock back, and he sends Staravia off, much to Gliscor’s disappointment. Dawn is still worrying, and Ash takes Buneary and Happiny to make ice to bring Pachirisu’s fever down. Dawn puts the ice on Pachirisu’s head, then yells at Ash for spraying it with cold water. Ash counters by saying it probably has an upset stomach because of those pancakes she fed it. The two argue until Dawn hears her sick Pokémon’s voice, and they agree it’s no time to fight. Team Rocket then spots a Zapdos, and they want it. James fires a Bazooka Gun, but Zapdos flies up. The wad hit’s Staravia, and Jessie tells them they can change their sights to that one instead.
 
  +
Dawn trains with her pokemon while Ash attempts to find a way to beat Fantina. During this time, he falls asleep. Brock decides to leave to pick up more medical supplies and leaves Dawn and Ash in charge. First things first: bath time. They take time to shower each pokemon, though Ash accidentally uses cold water. After this is breakfast where they have pancakes. But things begin to grow hectic when Pachirisu comes down with a fever. Panicking because they have no supplies, Ash and Dawn begin to blame each other and struggle to bring Brock back. Coming to an agreement to focus on the pokemon instead of their own struggle, Ash and Dawn search for Oran berries, but find none.
   
  +
Meanwhile, Team Rocket in their balloon, spots a Zapdos and attempt to capture it with their Glue Bazooka. However, they miss it and instead hit the Staravia that Ash sent out to get Brock. Instead, Team Rocket change their target to the Staravia who has glue coating it's wing.
Dawn comments how the fever just won’t go down, then Ash reminds her about Oran Berries. They go to find some, but have no luck. Team Rocket is not getting too lucky with Staravia either. Ash is concerned about Staravia, so Gliscor offers to go get Brock instead. Ash sends it off, shouting for it to go to the right and calm down. Brock is now seen shopping, commenting on how much stuff the pharmacy has. The scene changes, and Dawn comments on how they need more blankets, so Ash’s Pokémon get him a few. Brock is then seen walking home, talking about the stalks. He sees Gliscor, and frantically tries to run. Gliscor lands on him, telling him something’s wrong. Brock starts running, then notices Gliscor needs wind to fly. He offers to carry him, but ends up going on ahead after the failed attempt.
 
   
  +
Ash grows worried that neither Brock nor Staravia have returned, and instead sends Glicor to find them. Brock, finishing with his shopping, sees the Gliscor coming and catches it. Sensing something is wrong, Brock rushes off back to the cabin. Ash and Dawn are struggling to figure out what to do, thinking they need to feed it. Just then, Brock rushes in to stop them from messing up any further. He tells them that they need to stop panicking, as that's the last thing you want to do when someone is sick. He says that the first thing to do is diagnose what the issue is, and he discovers that it is a build up of electricity in it's electric sacs, and uses a special device to get rid of the extra electricity and gives it medicine to help regulate it's electricity further. He then shows them that they were checking the wrong places for Oran berries, saying that the ground is too dry, and that they need to find where it's damp. He shows them where to find some. Dawn begins to cry, realizing how badly she failed to help her pokemon, but is comforted by Ash. Elsewhere, Staravia manages to get free with the help of a Whooper.
Dawn and Ash know they need to get Pachirisu to eat, and Dawn recalls when she was sick, her mom fed her mashed fruit. Ash says they still have the fruit Pikachu found, and try feeding it. It refuses. Brock barges in, running over Pachirisu. He thinks it has an electric cold, similar to Pikachu’s. He gets the electricity out, feeds it a pill, then tells them they need to be calm at times like this. Dawn thinks she’s a terrible Trainer, but Ash tells her not to cry. They tell Brock about the mashed fruit, but he says that doesn’t come until later. They go to try find Oran Berries to feed Pachirisu, then they find a few Oran Berry bushes. Pachirisu accepts them. Everyone is thrilled. At the same time, Staravia gets help from some Wooper to get the gunk off its wings. Pachirisu shows everyone it’s better by running around, only to be grabbed by a net! Everyone runs outside, demanding an explanation. Team Rocket recites their motto. They say they wanted Pikachu, but they’ll take Pachirisu instead. This infuriates Dawn. Staravia flies in and cuts the net, releasing Pachirisu right after sending the Bazooka Wad back at Team Rocket. Buneary freezes them with Ice Beam and pounding them with Dizzy Punch. Pachirisu sends them blasting off with Discharge.
 
   
  +
Outside, Pachirisu is running around and playing when suddenly Team Rocket grabs it. Their true target was Pikachu, but beggars can't be choosers. They try to take it, but Staravia appears and cuts the net. With help from the other Pokemon, Pachirisu uses Discharge and sends Team Rocket blasting off again. Brock then says that they need to learn first aid for their pokemon, and Dawn and Ash agree, knowing the importance of medical knowledge when a doctor is not around. Brock then fixes food for them and they enjoy the rest of the evening. Elsewhere, Gliscor is slowly trudging it's way back to the cabin.
Brock suggests he teaches them first aid, incase something happens and they can’t find a Pokémon Center. They agree. Brock offers to make food, and Pachirisu confirms it’s better by being hungry. As the narrator says the farewell, Ash breaks in, realizing he forgot Gliscor. Brock and Dawn also show worry. Gliscor is seen yelling.

Doc Brock! (Japanese: パチリスお熱です! 2人でお留守番!?, HepburnPachirisu Has a Fever! Caretaking by 2 People?!) is the 42nd episode of Pokémon: DP Battle Dimension.

Synopsis

On the way to Celestic Town, Ash and his friends are camped at a mountain cabin. While Dawn trains and Ash snoozes, Brock goes down the mountain to visit a pharmacy. That leaves Ash and Dawn in charge of the Pokémon, and their first task is to give the Pokémon a shower. Ash accidentally blasts Pachirisu with cold water, but everything seems to go smoothly. After that, it's lunchtime and a siesta! But naptime is cut short when Pachirisu comes down with a bad fever and there's no Pokémon Center in the area.

While Staravia goes out to find Brock, Ash has Buneary use Ice Beam to make an ice pack for Pachirisu's fever. The little Pokémon is still unwell, and Dawn and Ash argue over whose fault it was before they realize they need to find the berries that Brock uses for sick Pokémon. Meanwhile, Team Rocket sees a Zapdos fly by and try to hit it with a cannon full of sticky goo, but they hit Staravia instead. It manages to evade them, but now it can't fly. When Staravia fails to return, Ash sends Gliscor out to get Brock instead.

Alerted by Gliscor, Brock runs back to the cabin and realizes that Pachirisu may have a build-up of excess electricity. Once he drains the extra charge and treats Pachirisu with medicine and Oran Berries, it's on its way to a speedy recovery—just in time to be stolen by Team Rocket, who spotted the cabin! But Staravia found some friendly Wooper to clean the gunk off its wing, and it returns in time to free Pachirisu from Team Rocket's net. Then Buneary and a healthy Pachirisu team up to blast Team Rocket back where they came from. It looks like a happy ending all around, except that they forgot about one Pokémon: poor Gliscor, still struggling up the long road back to the cabin![1]

Episode plot

Dawn trains with her pokemon while Ash attempts to find a way to beat Fantina. During this time, he falls asleep. Brock decides to leave to pick up more medical supplies and leaves Dawn and Ash in charge. First things first: bath time. They take time to shower each pokemon, though Ash accidentally uses cold water. After this is breakfast where they have pancakes. But things begin to grow hectic when Pachirisu comes down with a fever. Panicking because they have no supplies, Ash and Dawn begin to blame each other and struggle to bring Brock back. Coming to an agreement to focus on the pokemon instead of their own struggle, Ash and Dawn search for Oran berries, but find none.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket in their balloon, spots a Zapdos and attempt to capture it with their Glue Bazooka. However, they miss it and instead hit the Staravia that Ash sent out to get Brock. Instead, Team Rocket change their target to the Staravia who has glue coating it's wing.

Ash grows worried that neither Brock nor Staravia have returned, and instead sends Glicor to find them. Brock, finishing with his shopping, sees the Gliscor coming and catches it. Sensing something is wrong, Brock rushes off back to the cabin. Ash and Dawn are struggling to figure out what to do, thinking they need to feed it. Just then, Brock rushes in to stop them from messing up any further. He tells them that they need to stop panicking, as that's the last thing you want to do when someone is sick. He says that the first thing to do is diagnose what the issue is, and he discovers that it is a build up of electricity in it's electric sacs, and uses a special device to get rid of the extra electricity and gives it medicine to help regulate it's electricity further. He then shows them that they were checking the wrong places for Oran berries, saying that the ground is too dry, and that they need to find where it's damp. He shows them where to find some. Dawn begins to cry, realizing how badly she failed to help her pokemon, but is comforted by Ash. Elsewhere, Staravia manages to get free with the help of a Whooper.

Outside, Pachirisu is running around and playing when suddenly Team Rocket grabs it. Their true target was Pikachu, but beggars can't be choosers. They try to take it, but Staravia appears and cuts the net. With help from the other Pokemon, Pachirisu uses Discharge and sends Team Rocket blasting off again. Brock then says that they need to learn first aid for their pokemon, and Dawn and Ash agree, knowing the importance of medical knowledge when a doctor is not around. Brock then fixes food for them and they enjoy the rest of the evening. Elsewhere, Gliscor is slowly trudging it's way back to the cabin.
