Summary!!

 

Ash and them are walking on the side of a small river, when they see a pair of eyes staring at them.... or is it eyes? It's a Stantler! Brock realizes that it must be lost, and tries to communicate with the Stantler, by acting like it, but ends up  scaring it. With closer examination, Brock notices that the Stantler has an injured leg. Brock starts teasing the Stantler with food, and then the Stantler starts emitting a smell from it's antlers, and Brock starts licking the antlers. Suddenly, a whole bunch of Stantler show up, and start stampeding after Ash and them. The young injured Stantler limps off. Ash and them think they're finally safe, and then they realize the stampeding Stantler just totally disappeared. Brock is disappointed that he couldn't bandage the Stantler's leg, and then Officer Jenny shows up and asks the group to follow them to the station to give a report. Jenny then reveals that the Stantler herd has been scaring tourists in the park, making tourist population scarce. Screams are heard outside, and T-Rocket is seen running, scared stiff. They do their stupid motto, and they then reveal that they heard about the Stantler herd, they wanted to catch them all and give them to Giovanni, but they were stampeded on too. Suddenly, an antler is seen again, the odor is released, and the stampede starts up again. Brock notices that there's something wrong with the Stantler stampede, jumps in front to stop it, and then it's clear that the stampede is nothing but an illusion, created by thte little Stantler.

Brock bandages up the injured Stantler, and it cuddles Brock, it's trust in Brock highly evident. Brock reveals that his illusion making capabilities was it's only method of defense against strangers. Brock knew what was wrong with the Stantler by the look in its eyes, when Brock was trying to communicate with the Stantler. The scene switches to T-Rocket, who feel stupid knowing about the Stantler illusion, and they decide to catch the Stantler, they need cash because James blew all their money on something, sorry I don't remember what. Back to Ash and co., it's nighttime, the Stantler is asleep inBrock's lap, and then Brock decides to release the Stantler the next day, he feels that the Stantler misses its family. The next day, Brock goes to release Stantler, but he doesn't want to leave. Brock yells at it, and it gets sad and leaves, feeling really dejected, but it was for the good of it. Brock starts to shake, Ash asks him what's wrong, and Brock says it was good for him. Brock sees T-Rocket's balloon land in the forest, Meowth pulls out a remote control, and a large mechanical Stantler rolls up. Stantler goes to use it's illusion trick again, but it fails, and Stantler is captured. Back to Ash and them, Brock is running through the forest, Ash and Misty can't keep up and tell Brock to go ahead, they cannot catch up. T-Rocket is talking about their catch, and Stantler makes odour come out, making Meowth re-think his actions. Brock runs up to save Stantler, but is caught in rope from the large Stantler. Brock sends out Onix, it Tackles the robo Stantler, then Binds it, destroying it. Ash sends out Pikachu, he Thunderbolts the balloon, and it does nothing to the balloon. Brock is still running after the balloon, and then suddnely, another Stantler jumps out of nowhere, cuts the young Stantler free, and Ash's Bulbasaur catchs it in midair. Bulbasaur slips, and Brock makes a dive-catch for Stantler, perfect catch! T-Rocket is complaining about their broken balloon, and they then notice the Stantler herd in front of them. James is fed up of the illusion, and throws the remote control at one, but it connects, and the Stantler is enraged. They stampede, and T-Rocket is sent flying again! Back to Brock and them, Brock is bidding farewell to Stantler for real this time, and Brock is happy that he's with his family. And that's it!!!
