Rusty's Parents

Rusty's Parents live with Rusty in Beige Town. They own a deli and don't want Rusty to become a Pokemon trainer.

The Journey Begins
Rusty's parents appear in the first episode of Pokemon Rusty. When Rusty says that he is going to be a Pokemon trainer, his dad stops him and tells him he isn't allowed to catch Pokemon. After the three argue about it, Rusty's mom tells him to deliver a panini to Prof. Tree's house. Although they don't appear for the rest of the episode, Rusty tells Tree to tell them he's dead, which the professor apparently does.

Snorcrash
In the previous episode, Rusty calls his dad and tells him to pick him up. This episode begins with Rusty being driven home by his dad, who lectures him. However, they run into a Snorlax on the road, paralyzing it and throwing Rusty's dad out of the car. Although his dad begs Rusty to take him to the hospital, Rusty puts his dad into a Poke Ball and battles the Snorlax. After this, Rusty takes both of them to the Pokemon Center, where Rusty leaves his dad. Rusty's dad comes out of the Poké ball naked, but is glad to find his ulcer is gone.
