Meanwhile, Misty gets a Voltorb out of a Weepinbell's mouth and Brock attaches a lost horn to a Pinsir. When Ash and Brock are to treat a Dodrio, Proctor decides to use an anesthetic. When he goes to administer it, the Dodrio attacks and the anesthetic is injected into Proctor by accident and he goes to sleep. Ash improvises and sends Squirtle to use Water Gun on Dodrio, then Pikachu electrocutes it. He goes to catch Dodrio, but Brock reminds him he must not capture any Pokémon, so Ash and Brock treat it.
   
Everyone, except Meowth, is helping heal the hurt Pokémon, even Jessie and James. Later, Jessie and James decide to steal the Pokémon. They take off their uniforms and jump onto a stretcher and say their motto. They don't get all the way though it because Meowth interrupts them by yelling that he wants his charm. Team Rocket pushes stretchers with arms at Ash and his friends. The stretchers trap them and James pulls out a big needle and says he's going to use it on Ash. A Chansey jumps in front of Ash to protect him. James asks Arbok and Weezing to attack Chansey, but they won't. Dr. Proctor says they won't attack Chansey because it healed them. Jessie gets mad at Dr. Proctor and throws a beaker at him. Dr. Proctor breaks the beaker with a scapel. Dr. Proctor opens up and shows his coat to Team Rocket, which is lined with scissors, scapels, and needles. James says they shouldn't mess with him and they turn to leave, but Ash and his friends break free and push the strechers at Team Rocket.

A Chansey Operation (Japanese: ラッキーのカルテ, HepburnChansey's Clinical Records) is the 47th episode of Pocket Monsters of Pocket Monsters (1997 series), Season 1 of Pokémon the Series, and Pokémon: Indigo League of Pokémon the Series: The Beginning.

Synopsis

As our heroes sleep peacefully, Pikachu begins experiencing an unusual sensation. As though it were choking on something, Pikachu's expression grows steadily more and more pained. It seems there's nothing left to do but take Pikachu to a Pokémon Center immediately. Ash takes off running, carrying Pikachu over his shoulder, but the Pokémon Center is quite a distance away. Ash decides to take Pikachu to a nearby emergency room, but when he arrives, a sign hangs on the hospital door coldly stating, Hospital Closed Today. Is there any help for Pikachu?[1]

Episode plot

Pikachu finds an apple which he swallows whole. Pikachu's voice sounds odd and Brock thinks the apple got stuck in its throat. They take Pikachu to a human hospital because it's the closest. The doctor there gets the apple out of Pikachu's throat. The doctor is then called by Nurse Joy who says there has been an accident involving some Pokémon stolen by Team Rocket, who are seriously injured and needs him to help take them.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is at the scene of the accident and Jessie and James are arguing about who's fault it is that they got in an accident. Meowth is feeling down in the dumps because the charm on his head is missing.

At the hospital, Nurse Joy asks Dr. Proctor to help the hurt Pokémon. Dr. Proctor asks Nurse Joy out on a date, making her mad. Dr. Proctor says he will help after that and he gives Ash and his friends their uniforms, saying that he's the only person at the hospital and needs help. Ash and Brock dress in doctor uniforms similar to Dr. Proctor, while Misty dresses up like Nurse Joy. The hurt Pokémon start coming in and everyone starts working. Ash brings out Bulbasaur to hold down a Cubone, who is struggling in pain. Misty comforts the Cubone and it calms down. Dr. Proctor says Misty is a natural.

Team Rocket enters the hospital carrying more hurt Pokémon. Dr. Proctor asks Jessie out on a date. Jessie is impressed by Dr. Proctor. Ash asks Dr. Proctor not to help Team Rocket because they are bad guys. Dr. Proctor says his job is to heal, not to judge.

Meowth is crying over his missing charm. Chansey tries to cheer him up, but Chansey doesn't quite understand what Meowth wants. Ex: Meowth says," Somebody help me find my charm, I'll pay any price!" and Chansey gives him a bowl of rice. Chansey gets mad and slaps him to get him calmed down. Meanwhile, Misty gets a Voltorb out of a Weepinbell's mouth and Brock attaches a lost horn to a Pinsir. When Ash and Brock are to treat a Dodrio, Proctor decides to use an anesthetic. When he goes to administer it, the Dodrio attacks and the anesthetic is injected into Proctor by accident and he goes to sleep. Ash improvises and sends Squirtle to use Water Gun on Dodrio, then Pikachu electrocutes it. He goes to catch Dodrio, but Brock reminds him he must not capture any Pokémon, so Ash and Brock treat it.

Everyone, except Meowth, is helping heal the hurt Pokémon, even Jessie and James. Later, Jessie and James decide to steal the Pokémon. They take off their uniforms and jump onto a stretcher and say their motto. They don't get all the way through it because Meowth interrupts them by yelling that he wants his charm. Team Rocket pushes stretchers with arms at Ash and his friends. The stretchers trap them and James pulls out a big needle and says he's going to use it on Ash. A Chansey jumps in front of Ash to protect him. James asks Arbok and Weezing to attack Chansey, but they won't. Dr. Proctor, having awoken from the anesthetic, says they won't attack Chansey because it healed them. Jessie gets mad at Dr. Proctor and throws a beaker at him. Dr. Proctor breaks the beaker with a scalpel. Dr. Proctor opens up and shows his coat to Team Rocket, which is lined with scissors, scalpels, and needles. Everything a doctor needs to operate, or protect his patients since they can be used as deadly weapons against threats. James says they shouldn't mess with him and they turn to leave, but Ash and his friends break free and push the stretchers at Team Rocket.

Jessie is mad they didn't get any Pokémon but James says he got one. James pulls a Voltorb out of his pocket and it explodes, sending Team Rocket blasting off again. When they hit the ground, Meowth's charm pops out of his head, which was just embedded into his head. Meowth is very happy, but Jessie and James aren't.

In the hospital, Dr. Proctor thanks Ash and his friends for their help and asks them to stay and train to be doctors. Misty says she would like to, but she wants to learn a lot more about water Pokémon first. Ash and his friends leave the hospital and wave goodbye to Dr. Proctor.
