"Alright everyone lunch time!" Rosa said, holding a large amount of bowls of food. "Pikachu, Herdier, Riolu, Servine, Braviary, and Darumaka."
"And the scraps for Trubbish." Ash said, the poison type excited at hearing his name and the trash all for him.
"Trubbish!" Trubbish exclaimed, eagerly eating the cans and scraps from making lunch.
"You know, it's actually nice having someone who prefers eating that stuff while traveling." Rosa admitted.
"Yeah, it's weird but in a way really useful." Ash admitted.
"I am curious where is all goes." Elliot said. "I mean Trubbish is mostly made up of trash so is he eating flesh, or is this a way of repairing himself."
"Can we, not think about that level of horror during lunch?" Ash asked kindly.
"Right, sorry." Elliot apologized.
"And soon enough they'll have another friend joining them." Ash said, setting the egg down before starting his own lunch.
"Trub Trub Trub!" Trubbish said, enjoying some of the empty cans as one rolled away. "Trub? Trub!" Trubbish exclaimed, chasing after the rolling can to the bottom of the hill.
"Hey Trubbish what are you doing down there?!" Ash called out.
"Trub! Trub!" Trubbish said, holding up the can.
"Alright come on back up!" Ash said.
Trubbish began trotting back up the hill, making his way half up before feeling the can get taken away quickly from his grasp.
"Trub!" Trubbish exclaimed, noticing his missing lunch.
"Pi?" Pikachu said, noticing Trubbish's exclamation.
"Trub! Trub!" Trubbish cried out, tears forming.
"Pika Pi!" Pikachu said, causing both Herdier and Braviary to look up from their lunches.
"What do you think is going on with them?" Rosa asked.
"I think Trubbish lost the can he wanted." Ash said. "It is still our trash, wether or not he eats it, we should make sure to find and clean it up."
"Right." Rosa said. "Herdier do you think you can sniff it out? Trubbish's scent should be all over it and easy to find."
"Gwarf!" Herdier barked, sniffing the ground before racing off in a direction.
"Trub!" Trubbish exclaimed, following Herdier and Rosa.
"Should we follow them?" Elliot asked.
"Braviary keep an eye on them and if they run into more they can handle let us know." Ash said as his flying type took off. "I trust Rosa can handle herself now, but an extra set of eyes can't hurt."
"Alright then, let's make sure the rest of this is cleaned up." Elliot said.
Back with Rosa
"Herdier what is it?" Rosa asked, seeing Herdier sniffing around in circles.
"Gwarf Gwarf!" Herdier barked, standing in place.
"But there's nothing around here, do you have any other scents to track?" Rosa asked.
Herdier sniffed the ground, pawing at it for a moment as Trubbish waited nervously.
"Gwarf!" Herdier barked, running towards some bushes.
"Herdier!" Rosa called out, chasing her Pokemon.
"Trub!" Trubbish exclaimed, following behind.
Rosa followed Herdier through some trees, ending in a grotto of sorts.
"Herdier, what is this place?" Rosa asked.
"Gwarf!" Herdier barked before arching their back and growling.
"Okay, getting ready for a battle, no problem." Rosa said. "Use Work Up!"
Herdier let out a loud growl, bearing her fangs as bushes shook all around them, a whitish blur leaping out towards Trubbish.
"Herdier use Bite!"
Herdier leapt at the blur, catching it in her mouth and saving Trubbish from a potential onslaught.
"Min! Min! Min!" The Pokemon cried out, trying to escape Herdier's jaw.
"Alright, let them go, they shouldn't attack Trubbish again." Rosa sighed, seeing the Pokemon flail about.
"Min Min!" The white Pokemon said, winking at the two Pokemon and Rosa, with only Trubbish seemingly effected as he rushed at the white Pokemon trying to hug it as they pushed against him.
"That, the only way that couldn't have effected us is if it was Attract." Rosa realized. "Herdier we need to knock Trubbish out of the affection. Use Return on the wild Pokemon!"
Herdier leapt over Trubbish, tussling with the wild Pokemon and causing them to roll away from Trubbish.
"Trub Trub!" Trubbish cried out, rushing after the white Pokemon.
"Okay, think how to get rid of those kinds of effects, I've watched Ash win four badges and plenty more fights." Rosa said. "Returning them could work, but I don't have Trubbish's Pokeball. Maybe…". Rosa said. "Herdier I need you to hold them with a bite attack!"
"Gwarf!" Herdier barked, biting down on the Pokemon as their tail slapped her several times.
"Please work. Pokeball go!" Rosa exclaimed, throwing the ball at the Pokemon stuck in Herdier's mouth.
'Ding Ding Ding!'
"That, that worked." Rosa said, noticing Trubbish not attacking Herdier anymore. "We, I I caught a Pokemon."
"Gwarf!" Herdier barked excitedly.
"Herdier, we just caught our first Pokemon!" Rosa exclaimed, holding the Pokeball. "We have to go tell the others come on!"
Herdier and Trubbish followed Rosa as she found her way back.
Back at the camp site
"So Rosa, did you manage to find the can?" Ash asked.
"All taken care of, also why was I the only one going after your trash?" Rosa asked.
"Oh, yeah, forgot about that." Ash admitted. "But hey no harm done right?"
"Actually even better than no harm done." Rosa said, holding up the Pokeball.
"Tell me you didn't catch the can." Elliot said.
"Don't be ridiculous, you can't catch a can." Rosa scoffed.
"I caught a jelly filled doughnut once." Ash admitted, picking up the food bowls.
"I didn't catch a doughnut either. Come on out!" Rosa exclaimed.
"Min?" The Pokemon said, looking around.
"Oh cool a Minccino, that explains where the can went." Elliot said.
"It does?" Rosa asked.
"Yeah, they're known to be neat freaks." Elliot pointed out. "She probably saw Trubbish's can rolling away and ran to clean it up and get rid of it.
"Min Min!" Mincinno said, trying to clean Trubbish.
"Trub!" Trubbish said, running away in fear, knocking into the picnic table.
"The egg!" Ash exclaimed, diving for the falling golden egg, catching it just before it hit the ground.
"Phew, that was a close one, it would have cracked for sure if it hit the ground." Elliot said.
'CRACK!'
