One day, Ash and Misty, and Pikachu were doing stuff. They had just gone on a filler sidequest involving Team Rocket and a guy they said they would keep in touch with but didn't ever contact again, because screw continuity.
Ash and Misty may have been underdeveloped, annoying characters with nauseatingly self-righteous personalities, but they were still people. Which meant they had stomachs. Which meant they got hungry.
"I'm hungry," said Ash.
"I'm hungry too," said Misty.
"Pika pika," said Pikachu, which meant "I wish I could talk."
"Where can we get food?" said Ash.
"I don't know," said Misty.
"Uh...guys?" said some guy. "I'm the official chef person, remember?"
Oh, wait a second. I almost forgot. There was someone else with them. His name was Brock. He was wearing a vest and kept his eyes closed. He could open them whenever he wanted. He just chose not to.
"Oh yeah," said Ash. "Brock, go kill us a Miltank. Filler episodes make me hungry!"
"Couldn't I just make us some stew? " said Brock. Stew was Brock's specialty, because Brock was an awful chef, and stew is so disgusting that stew from a bad chef doesn't taste all that different than stew from a good chef.
"HELL NO" said Misty, who was a whiny bitch with a hormone imbalance. "You always make stew. I'm tired of stew. You're always bragging about your skills as a chef. Now's your chance to prove yourself!"
"Make sure to get one with big udders," said Ash. "That's the best part."
"Oh, fine," said Brock, thinking he would just go to the butcher shop and get some of the pre-sliced stuff.
"And to make sure you don't just go to the butcher shop and get some of the pre-sliced stuff," said Misty, "we're going to watch you and make sure you go into the forest."
"Forest?" gulped Brock. "But Miltank don't live-"
"I DON'T CARE THE PLOT DEMANDS IT" raged Misty. Brock wondered if Misty was on her period. Then he wondered if she'd actually hit puberty yet.
"Pika pika," said Pikachu, which meant "I'm actually a herbivore."
And so our hero walked bravely into the Petalburg Woods, which happened to be full of lots of scary Pokémon that liked to eat humans. It also was completely devoid of Miltank.
"Oh well," said Brock. "Maybe I'll meet a pretty girl."
Then he remembered that all Bug Catchers were guys.
