EDIT

Episode Summary

Ash, May, Brock and Max have arrived at a small town on their way to Rustboro City. Brock decides to stock up on supplies, while Max is eager to go hunting for city dwelling Pokmon. Max soon stumbles upon a very frightened Shroomish who is hiding in an alleyway. Ash, Max, Pikachu and their new Shroomish friend head off to find a Pokmon Center. On their way they pass by a deserted mansion that is being torn down. There, the gang learns that not long ago most of the city was forest and that many, many Shroomish lived in the area. They also learn that strange things are going on at the mansion, and many people believe that it's haunted. A little investigation reveals that the mansion is actually inhabited by all of the Shroomish who used to live in the forest. When the forest was destroyed, they had nowhere else to go. All of the strange noises and smells that the construction workers were hearing were actually the Shroomish. Now Ash and Max must help the Shroomish so that they don't lose their living area.moreless

    I found this episode not much interest at all. So we see an owner trying to protect an old mansion from being torn down. The trainer's Shroomish wants to live there like before. Instead, the mansion is converted into a forest where the Shroomish will enjoy their enviornment. I didn't see much action here at all.
