== Chief meets Copper ==
(Just then, everyone hears a noise from outside.)

Heroes: Huh?

(They go to peak outside and see an old man driving his truck home next door. His hunting dog, an elderly Irish Wolfhound named Chief, is awakened from the truck's noise.)

Misty: Oh! Who is that old man living next door, Mrs. Tweed? Is he a certain friend of yours?

Widow Tweed: Hmm? Oh, that's just my grumpy neighbor, Amos Slade. He's a lonely mountain man who spent most of his days hunting for food and fur. He's hardly spoken to anybody because he doesn't have any friends. So, if I were you, kids, it's best if you don't interact with him at all.

Ash Ketchum: Why?

Widow Tweed: Because he doesn't want visitors. So, watch out for Amos.

Heroes: We will.

(Back next door, Amos is moving stuff around in the back of his truck. Chief stretches and yawns from his slumber.)

Amos Slade: (holds up a bag) I got a surprise for you, Chief, old boy. (laughs; Chief, becoming excited thinking it was treats, barks happily) Now, now, now, take it easy.

(Chief sniffs the bag to see what it is. The bag begins the move and something inside makes a yelping sound. Amos pulls out a small, hound puppy.)

Amos Slade: Well. How's this for a huntin' dog?

(Chief's excitement fades since his "surprise" wasn't what he'd expected.)

Amos Slade: He's just a little runt now, but he'll grow. 

(The puppy affectionately licks Amos and is placed on the ground. Chief sniffs the puppy who responds by giving him a lick on the nose, much to the latter's chagrin. Chief gives Amos a disgusted look.)

Amos Slade: You may as well get used to him, Chief. (the puppy whines and paws on Chief's legs) He's for you to look after from now on. (heads into his house)

(Chief, a little grumpy, heads for his barrel. The puppy heads in with him. Chief is startled and backs out. The puppy prances out playfully. Chief bowls the puppy over. He tries to go back to sleep, but is distracted when the puppy walks underneath his head, falling asleep on one of his front paws. Chief looks around, a little embarrassed. He then places his head down beside the puppy. He half smiles then goes to sleep.)
