047 Voor Wie is Togepi? (Who Gets to Keep Togepi?)

Wie is deze Pokemon? Aerodactyl

Ash, Misty en Brock zitten met een vreemd Pokemon-ei in het Pokemoncenter. Team Rocket zit daar ook, en hoort ze over het Pokemon-ei praten. Team Rocket besluit het ei te stelen en verkleden zich als Pokemon-ei-verkopers. Ze gooien alle nep-eieren naar voren richting Ash, Misty en Brock, waardoor Brock het ei laat vallen en Meowth het kan pakken.     In Team Rocket's hutje verzorgt Meowth het ei tot Ash, Brock en Misty het spoor van eieren hebben gevolgd tot de plaats waar Team Rocket zit. Dan begint een strijd om wie het ei mag hebben. Als het ei van hoog in de lucht naar beneden valt vangt Pikachu het op en begint het uit te komen. Misty pakt snel het uitkomende ei van Ash af en als het ei (van Togepi) uitkomt, ziet Togepi als eerste Misty. Dan gaan Ash, Brock, Misty en Meowth Pokemongevechten houden wie het ei mag hebben. Brock tegen Meowth, Meowth wint, en Ash tegen Misty, Ash wint, en Ash tegen Meowth, Ash wint en mag het ei hebben. Maar Togepi wil alleen bij Misty omdat hij haar als eerste gezien had toen hij uitkwam en haar beschouwt als zijn moeder. 

As this story begins as our heroes are sitting in the Pokémon Center playing when Ash gets a phone call from Professor Oak on the PC phone from back home at Pallet Town. Professor Oak appears on the screen and so does Ash's Muk, the Pokémon Professor is very displeased with Ash's Muk as it has climbed all over him and spoiling his new lab coat. He caught the Muk back at the Power Plant. Professor Oak informs Ash that his Pokédex is now upgradeable and tells Ash of how he can get his old Pokédex to be as same as the newer version. Ash follows the directions and places his little red Pokédex into the small slot on the computer. They go back to a table and talk about the Pokémon that they wish would hatch out of the mysterious egg that Ash found back at Grandpa Canyon. Naturally they all say their favorite Pokémon, Misty choosing Lapras and Brock choosing Golem.

After this they leave the Pokémon Center and go outside where they find Team Rocket posing as egg sellers - they are wearing one of Team Rockets more lame uniforms. They have a whole basketful of eggs, just like Ash's Mysterious egg. Team Rocket tries to talk them into trading or buying one of their eggs and when they politely refuse Jessie and James resort to throwing all of their fake eggs in the air. The real egg, the one Brock was holding, gets taken when there is a mix-up with all the eggs.

Team Rocket runs out of site and escape with the real egg! Ash, Misty and Brock are stuck with a fake. While in Team Rocket's little hiding shack, Meowth takes care of the egg. While it is in his possession, the egg gets its best attention ever. Our little furred friend is quite surprisingly a good mom, uh, dad…eh whatever. Meowth sleeps with it, sings with it and even eats with it. Who would have thought!

The three young adventurers follow a trail of broken red blue and green eggs until they reach the shack in which Team Rocket is hiding. They decide to bust in, even though it may be dangerous, and get the egg back.

They all quickly bust into the shack but unfortunately, James, the male member of Team Rocket is quick to react and as soon as they break in he sends out Weezing who gives a Poison Gas attack. Weezing's attack is quite powerful and it makes Ash and others cough and gasp for breath. Ash feels around his belt and grabs the Poké Ball that contains his Pidgeotto. Ash tells Pidgeotto to use its Gust attack and before you know it Weezing's gas is gone, much to the surprise of the infamous two. They take a lunge for the little white egg. The egg goes up and down much like in a game of football! Through much controversy Pikachu ends up with the egg and gives the egg back to Ash, at that moment the egg begins to break open, it was beginning to hatch.

Misty, enthralled with what was going on, jumps in and pushes everyone out of the way to get a closer look and the hatching Pokémon. When she does the egg hatches and out pops a new unidentified Pokémon. Ash and the others are all surprised, especially Team Rocket who instantly wants to steal it. Ash points his newly updated Pokédex at this Pokémon and it recognizes it as a new Pokémon, Togepi.

Togepi, unlike other Pokémon will not just like anybody - to Ash's and Brock's disappointment it chooses Misty! As Misty is the first thing that this Pokémon sees it thinks that Misty is its mother.

This newly hatched Pokémon causes quite a fuss among the group. Ash feels that he should have it because he found it, Brock feels it should be his because he cared for it before Meowth, Meowth wants it because he looked after it before it hatched, Jessie and James both just want it. Meowth says to them that ze nooit enige aandacht voor Togepi hebben gehad. Misty feels she should have it, as Togepi likes her best. They all decide to have a Pokémon Tournament to decide who should have it. Meowth panics because he has no Pokémon and asks Jessie and James for theirs. They refuse as he didn't let them participate, but Meowth then remembers that he is a Pokémon and decides to battle for himself. After the draw, the first battle ends up between Misty and Ash, their first battle since Cerulean City. Ash wins but because Misty was the first thing that Togepi saw she gets to keep Togepi.
