Ep 41. Take This House and Shuppet

Ash and his friends finally arrive in Mauville City, a bustling metropolis full of Pokémon enthusiasts. As they wander through the city trying to find the Gym Leader, they come across a haunted house that seems to be scaring off the locals. Of course, Ash and his friends can't resist investigating the spooky mansion, and they quickly discover that it's home to a mischievous group of Shuppet.

The Shuppet seem to be having a blast playing pranks on anyone who enters the house, but Ash and his friends soon realize that they're also causing serious problems for the rest of the city. The Shuppet's powers can make people see things that aren't there, and their constant mischief is causing chaos and confusion all over town.

Determined to help fix the problem, Ash and his friends team up with a local Pokémon researcher named Vivian, who has been studying the Shuppet for years. Together, they come up with a plan to lure the mischievous ghosts out of the haunted house and into a special containment chamber that Vivian has developed.

The plan seems to be going well at first, as the Shuppet are easily drawn out of the house with the promise of new toys and treats. However, things quickly take a turn for the worse when the group realizes that they've accidentally trapped one of their own Pokémon in the containment chamber along with the Shuppet.

Desperate to free their friend, Ash and his friends must find a way to outsmart the mischievous ghosts and retrieve their Pokémon without causing even more chaos. It's an intense battle of wits and strategy, with Ash and his friends pulling out all the stops to protect their friends and save the city from the Shuppet's pranks.

In the end, Ash and his friends emerge victorious, managing to outsmart the Shuppet and rescue their trapped friend. The haunted house is left quiet and empty, with the mischievous ghosts safely contained in Vivian's special chamber. As Ash and his friends continue on their journey, they're left with a newfound sense of confidence and a deeper understanding of the power of friendship - and the importance of never underestimating the mischievous spirit of a group of playful ghosts.
