| While eating Brock's riceballs, Ash hears a shutter which he thinks that it is a gun. Then, Ash realize that it is a photo camera. Then, the gang meets a photographer named Todd. Todd wants to take photo of Pikachu, as Team Rocket in disguise thinks that he captures Pokémon, asking him to capture Pikachu, but he fails to capture a picture of Pikachu. In the end of the episode, Team Rocket then realize that Todd captures Pokémon on camera but not the real thing. Then later, Todd joins the group. (Or) As Ash and the group continue on their way, they notice a boy trying to take a picture of Pikachu. The boy, whose name is Snap, invites them to his place for pancakes and he tries to get a picture of Pikachu. They don’t know that Team Rocket had hired him to capture Pikachu. They misunderstood his ad stating he could “capture” any Pokémon. Team Rocket dressed up as an old couple, asked him to “capture” Pikachu and that is what he is doing. Team Rocket show up again and try to get Pikachu, but Snap saves them and Team Rocket is defeated as usual. He agrees to follow the group on their journeys so he can get some shots of rare Pokémon. | ||||
