13: A mischievous Solution is the 13. episode of To Be the Very Best/Kanto Journey.

Major Events

 * Serena is seen training with her Pokémon. Jigglypuff prefers to sing rather than train, though.
 * Ash talks to Professor Oak, who encourages him to catch more Pokémon. So, Ash decides to catch the first Pokémon he comes across. Professor Oak also tells Serena that the next Contest is to be held in Crescent Town, a town which lies between Mt. Moon and Cerulean City.
 * It's a Mankey during their lunch break. Brock offers an onigiri to him and while Mankey eats it, Ash tries to catch it.
 * Mankey is furious and steals Ash's hat. Ash chases it. The only option to get his hat back seems to capture Mankey.
 * Ash succeeds in capturing Mankey using his Pidgey.
 * Even after it is captured, Mankey is still angry. So they decide to use Jigglypuff to put it to sleep while the trainers wear earplugs. Surprisingly, it doesn't fall asleep due to its ability being Vital Spirit. Jigglypuff's Sing Attack soothes it, however, and Jigglypuff is happy to have met someone who doesn't fall asleep when it sings.
