DP190: The Brockster Is In!

is the 33rd episode of Pokémon: DP Sinnoh League Victors.
==Synopsis==
On the ferry ride to Twinleaf Town, our heroes discuss their plans for the future. Realizing that they will soon be going their separate ways, Dawn invites them over to her house first, and everyone happily agrees. Also on the way, the group meets a Pokémon Nursery teacher trainee named Normajean, who is taking care of a group of young, cute Pokémon.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is hot on the trail of our heroes, following the ferry in their submarine. But they get off course when James spies his kind of treasure—a rare bottle cap—amidst a group of Tentacruel. They snag the bottle cap, and the very unhappy Tentacruel chase them right out of the water and onto the ferry, where they collide with our heroes! Ash and Pikachu try to drive the angry Tentacruel off, but Normajean’s young Pokémon are poisoned in the attack.
Springing into action, Brock attempts to heal the sick and injured Pokémon. The ferry’s passengers help him find some medicine, but not enough to cure everyone. Brock gets advice via video monitor from Nurse Joy, who is on her way by boat. She advises Brock to be persistent and do whatever he can to alleviate the suffering of the young Pokémon. Sure enough, Brock’s creativity and talent carry him through, and by the time Nurse Joy arrives, the Pokémon are as healthy as ever…and Brock’s Happiny, after helping him care for his patients, has evolved into Chansey!
Nurse Joy suggests to Brock that he’d be a great Pokémon Doctor, and he starts to think about a career path he’d never considered before. As the ferry approaches the Twinleaf Town seaport, Dawn spies her mother waiting there for her. We leave the group knowing that Ash, Dawn, and Brock will soon part ways, heading off to brand-new adventures!
==Episode plot==
Brock thinks of something and suddenly, Ash and Dawn arrive. They comment they will reach Twinleaf Town. Brock and Ash plan to get home to plan what to do next and Dawn agrees to do the same. Ash responds that when they reach the ferry, they will have to part, as he and Brock will go to Kanto. Dawn already feels sad at the thought of it, but advises they go to her house before going to Kanto. They agree and suddenly see some small Pokémon and go to say hi to them. A woman comes and advises her Pokémon not to go alone or they will fall over. She almost falls over, but Brock gets her.
She thanks him as she tells them they are from the Nursery and she takes care of them, even if they are stubborn. Brock knows for sure she needs to be honest, patient and caring for them alost that everything will be fine. The woman is dazzled by his response and soon finds out he wants to be a Breeder. The heroes introduce themselves, while the woman is Normajean. Team Rocket is in their submarine, going after a treasure. James soon spots something on a radar, which is guarded by a group of Tentacruel. They attempt to get them away and anger Tentacruel. James gets the treasure, which is a rare bottle cap. However, the Tentacruel attack using Poison Sting. Jessie orders James to give the bottle cap back, but James does not want to and the submarine flees. However, they hit the boat and go on it and bump into the twerps.
The heroes demand to know what have they done, but soon see Tentacruel going on the ship. They use Poison Sting, but Pikachu reflects it using Iron Tail. However, he becomes poisoned. Team Rocket flees and the Tentacruel chase them. Ash asks how is Pikachu, but Brock tells him and Dawn to go after Tentacruel while he goes to treat Pikachu. The Tentacruel begin to attack anyone, so Normajean's Pokémon protect her, but get poisoned. Pichu attempts to attack one of them, but gets attacked. The Tentacruel surround Team Rocket. Ash and Dawn come, while Brock and Pikachu also arrive. Brock sees the Tentacruel angry and suspects Team Rocket did something to stir them up. Team Rocket denies they have done anything, as James points at his bottle cap which he found among the Tentacruel. He drops the cap, Brock picks it up and goes somewhere, while Tentacruel follow him.
Brock throws the cap in the sea and the Tentacruel go towards it. Ash thanks Brock for healing Pikachu, but Brock has to treat Normajean's Pokémon, who got poisoned as well. Brock sees they have been poisoned and Pichu took things even more, as it was hit by Poison Jab. Brock would like to treat them if he had some berries, which he used to treat Pikachu. One of the boat staff comes and sees what happened. While they don't have any infirmary, but tells them to follow him to see if there are any berries among the goods being transported. They come to the room and the man says he will contact the nearest Nurse Joy for help, then goes away. Brock sends Happiny to look in the search. Happiny found a door and the heroes go inside, seeing Team Rocket eating the berries they were looking for. The heroes want the berries and Team Rocket Pikachu for them. Angered, Happiny blasts them off using Pound.
Brock sees they have only one berry. Dawn asks if the passengers have an antidote. Brock thinks it is possible, so Ash, Brock and Dawn go to look. After some time, Ash and Dawn got two berries and Brock some Healing Powder. Brock now sees it won't be enough, but an old lady comes and offers a Lava Cookie, which Brock gladly accepts to cure them all. Brock gives to them all but Pichu, who does not want to. Brock offers it to drink it instead of eating, which Pichu drinks. After some time, the Pokémon feel better, but Pichu is not feeling good. Normajean asks Brock what to do, but he is out of answers. The man comes back and tells Nurse Joy is coming on her boat. Brock contacts her and asks when is she coming. She replies it will be two hours, but Brock worries Pichu won't make it. Nurse Joy tells him he can do something else.
Dawn's Piplup uses Whirlpool and gets frozen by Buneary's Ice Beam and destroyed by Happiny's Pound. They put the ice on Pichu's head, but it still needs something else. Buizel uses Water Gun and Infernape Flamethrower to raise humidity. Pikachu shares a bit of electricity to Pichu to make it feel better for a while. Brock takes some other berries from the cargo to make a drink for Pichu to regain its strength. Happiny takes the drink and offers it to Pichu, but it refuses. Everyone attempts to persuade it, but fail. Happiny suddenly evolves into Chansey and learns Softboiled, using it to save Pichu. Later, Nurse Joy treated all Pokémon. They all thank Nurse Joy, but she thanks Brock for taking a lot of care to the Pokémon. The Pokémon thank Brock and Nurse Joy recognizes some doctor talent in Brock. Dawn reminds Brock being a doctor would make him spend a lot of time with Nurse Joy. Brock flirts with Nurse Joy and Croagunk stabs him, but does not poison him.
Team Rocket is fishing on a small raft and when Meowth got a Tentacruel, they quickly go elsewhere. Brock thinks of becoming a doctor, while Ash and Dawn compliment him for such an outstanding work. Soon, they see the port and Dawn spots her mom.
