Deep in the woods, Ash spies a Treecko. He's wanted to catch a Treecko since he first saw one at Professor Birch's laboratory. He follows the Treecko to an enormous tree that seems to be dying. There, Treecko has an argument with all of the other Treecko. It seems that this Treecko is very attached to the tree and wants to stay with it, while the rest of the clan wants to move on to a new tree. Ash watches as the lone Treecko struggles to save the tree. Ash is determined to help this Treecko, but Team Rocket are determined to capture all of the Treecko.moreless
This episode seemed cool, but it only bought a focus to one of the Treecko who was concerned about a tree passing out really soon. It didn't bring out much interest to me. But one interest I found cool was Ash capturing Treecko! Pretty soon, he'll get Grovyle, but time can only tell.
Though this episode received its first Cartoon Network airing on June 3, 2007 as part of the Pokémon Master Marathon, its official Cartoon Network syndication date was July 18, 2008.

Ash: (seeing James' Cacnea) Where did they get that from? I'm sure they probably stole it.

May: What's the matter? I've seen Slugma slither faster that you.
Max: Grrr... you look like a Slugma!
Brock: It's heartwarming to see how well those two get along.
