Pokemon the Series Season 7 Episode 37 A Fan with a Plan
- May 7, 2005
Ash and his friends reach a new town called Solaceon. As usual, they visit the local Pokémon Center to rest their Pokémon and get some information about the town. There, they meet a young boy named Tyler, a big fan of Ash and his friends. Tyler tells them that he has a plan to help catch legendary Pokémon. However, he needs their help to make it work.
Tyler takes them to a nearby forest, where they meet a local guide who tells them about a legend of a Pokémon called Mew. According to the legend, Mew only appears to those who have pure hearts and are worthy of its sight. Tyler believes that he is that person who can catch Mew, and he has a plan to make it happen.
Tyler's plan is to make himself a pure-hearted person by doing good deeds. He has made a list of tasks that he needs to complete to achieve his goal. Ash and his friends decide to help Tyler on his mission. They all split up to complete the tasks. Brock and Max help a local farmer with his work, while May helps in a local school. Ash and Pikachu, on the other hand, help a woman who is lost in the woods.
Tyler, meanwhile, helps an old man cross the street, and also helps a little girl find her lost toy. By doing these good deeds, Tyler starts feeling pure at heart. He believes that he has become worthy of seeing Mew, and goes back to the forest to wait for it.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket, as usual, is hanging around trying to cause trouble. They come up with a plan to catch Pikachu, but Ash and his friends are too busy with Tyler's mission to notice. Team Rocket manages to trick Tyler into believing that they are also pure of heart and worthy of seeing Mew. However, their plan backfires, and they end up trapping themselves in their own trap.
As Tyler awaits the appearance of Mew, Ash and his friends return to the forest and see that Tyler has managed to do all the tasks on his list. Tyler is convinced that Mew is about to appear, but then Team Rocket appears from their trap to try and steal Pikachu. Ash and his friends try to stop them, but it's Tyler who comes up with a plan.
Tyler convinces Team Rocket that he has seen Mew, and that it's only visible to those with pure hearts. He tells them that if they do good deeds, they too can become worthy of seeing Mew. Impressed by Tyler's words, Team Rocket decides to help Tyler complete his mission.
Together, Tyler and Team Rocket complete the remaining tasks on his list, and in doing so, they become worthy of seeing Mew. Suddenly, Mew appears in front of them. Tyler is overjoyed and teary-eyed, and Team Rocket is in awe. However, their joy is short-lived as Mew is quickly whisked away by a gust of wind.
Tyler is disappointed that Mew didn't stay longer, but Ash and his friends remind him that he achieved his goal and should be proud of that. Tyler accepts their words and thanks them for their help. The episode ends with Ash and his friends saying goodbye to Solaceon and continuing their journey towards their next adventure.
