"Dear Kate, your heart is so pure and generous that you deserve a special reward."

Puppy in My Pocket: Adventures in Pocketville may be Narm, but it has its fair share of awesome scenes in its episodes.

As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.

    In general 
  • Kate. Just Kate. A 10-going-on-11-year-old Kid Hero girl who was tasked with carrying out Ava's monarchical duties while she is away. She even does this while juggling it at the same time as going back to school and dealing with her mother being away until her work is finished. What bravery and determination she has.
  • Literally every single Friendship Ceremony sequence. Ava (or Kate) steps upon the springboard, the Friendship Heart disconnects from her collar and makes its way to the center obelisk of the Magic Fountain, and teleports the Chosen Pet to its owner while the fountain water shows an image of the pet.
  • Also every time the Pocketpedia activates, with all those sparkles and glow.

    The Friendship Ceremony 
  • While Ava is being ambushed by Zull as part of Eva’s plan to thwart the Friendship Ceremony and get her jewel, she steps on the pillar and pushes Magic out of the way so he won’t get hurt, but ends up getting herself teleported to the Big City. What an incredible step she took, making a sacrifice for her fellow subject.

    The Unexpected Guest 
  • While the beavers try to get the waterwheel to move, which ended up making part of it start to splinter, Kate dives underwater to find that a rock has blocked its path and moves it out of the way.

    Evershell the Wise 
  • Kate was brave enough to slide through the underground slope with the Royal Guards, though Magic himself was frightened.
  • When in a cave with a rapidly-moving underground river, Kate follows the Royal Guards by stepping on a group of walks to cross it, though she eventually almost loses her balance. She then successfully crosses the river, earning praise from Magic.
    Magic: Wasn't Katie terrific? And she only has two legs!

    Going Home 
  • The Royal Guards managed to chase Zull and Gort from one side of Pocketville to another without stopping until the collar is passed to Krakia. Pure determination right there.
    • And when they need extra help, they call on the Winged Guards, who behave a lot like noble soldiers. William summons them by howling.
    Winged Guard: You heard him, boys! The entire kingdom and all of its citizens are relying on us. For the honour of the Pocket Kingdom! Chocks away and tally ho!
  • After three Winged Guards get knocked out by flying into trees that Krakia, holding the Royal Collar, weaves through in a forest, one of them ends up being agile enough to dodge them. Eventually Krakia becomes tired, noticing him catching up to her until she gives up, drops the collar, and flies off. The eagle successfully catches the collar.
    Winged Guard: Bingo!

    A Big Responsibility 
  • While Kate and Magic were Caught in a Snare, not only did the Royal Guards arrive to their rescue, but Toby as well, who was meant to be the Chosen Pet for Martina. Toby helps ward Eva's gang off by proving to them he's not afraid of them.

    Crest of a Wave 
  • Swimmy and the other dolphins arriving to Kate and her friends’ rescue. He and the other dolphins spit water at Krakia to disorient her so she can’t take Kate’s bracelet and he gets a consortium of crabs to snip off the seaweed which got ahold of Kate and the dogs in the water. Then he and the other dolphins guide them back to shore.

    Frisbee 
  • Otto warns everyone of an incoming avalanche and pushes Kate out of the way, though Magic and the Royal Guards end up buried in snow.
  • Kate throws a frisbee to distract Zull and Gort and calls for help in rescuing her friends from the snow. Another St Bernard named Hugo comes to her aid and helps Otto with recovering Kate's friends from the snow, who shake it off like it's nothing.

    Food for Thought 
  • Goldie somehow manages to make healthy foods smell like sweets. That must've taken a lot of talent.
  • When Kate and her friends are put to sleep by the herbs in the soup, Eva is about to take the Royal Collar when Goldie arrives in a whirlwind, taking it before Eva could get her paws on it. Immediately do Zull and Gort go after her, but she hides inside a crevice with the bracelet until the protagonists wake up.

    New Friends 
  • Without Eva and her gang's knowledge, Robbie is spying on them from the trees as they surround the Pit Trap which Kate and her friends are trapped in. He gets a rope for Kate and her friends to get out of, which Balloon and Mela get out of. Kate then throws the collar around Balloon's neck, which prompts Zull and Gort to chase after her and Mela. Once Eva realizes that Robbie is helping, she orders Krakia to chase him down. Balloon tricks Zull and Gort into falling into the pit themselves, while Robbie gets Krakia stuck in a tree. Thanks to their smarts, the protagonists, even with the help of Robbie, managed to get out of another of Eva's traps.
    • Zull and Gort, two burly and athletic Angry Guard Dogs, happened to be outran by a cat that would be practically half their size in Real Life. Not to mention Krakia, a crow, was outflown and tricked by a robin, which are half as long as crows. Shows that it's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog… and birds and cat.

    Patience 
  • Wallace immediately gets Ava to safety once he notices an incoming car, saving her life.
  • The Winged Guards go to the Great Peak to retrieve the Magic Drop, as no other pet could.

    Believe in Yourself! 
  • Frankie is one fearless dachshund, willing to take on any challenge no matter the difficulty and even if it came from a notorious royal outlaw like Eva. This was what proved him to be the pet for Valerie, who had trouble with confidence in her sport.
  • The entirety of the Pawball game. Eva's team was the first to score, but Kate's team managed to pull through with determination and confidence so that Frankie can prove himself worthy for Valerie and eventually win the game.
  • Ava and Wallace are chased down by other stray dogs, whom the latter said he stole steaks from. Eventually they hide in the warehouse where the pile of tires was set up again. Ava is chased up the pile, and this time, she jumps from tire to tire instead of stumbling and lands on her paws. Turns out the chase was all to give her more motivation to practice her reflexes.
  • Kate telling Valerie that Frankie has the same problem as her but deals it with a different way and also telling her he wants to watch her play had motivated her enough to get back in the game. She successfully passes the ball over the net, which the opposing team failed to pass back. Her team ends up winning.

    Heads Up 
  • Pia uses not only her intuition but her sense of logic to find the Magic Drop, by telling the Royal Guards that the wind took the Magic Drop to that particular spot she's looking at. She ends up winning the challenge.

    Nearly! 
  • Wallace and Ava fleeing from the Pet Buster. He throws his net to catch Ava, only to miss except for her getting her leg caught. Wallace helps free her leg by biting the net off and they get further away from him.

    A Bad Fall 
  • The Winged Guards successfully breaking the ice with their beaks to retrieve the Magic Drop, being the noble soldiers they are once again. The leader of the squadron gives the drop to Kate.
  • The Royal Guards watch in wonder as Kate calms down a spooked Jenny by brushing her coat, knowing that she was getting dangerously close to a horse that might try to kick her accidentally. Kate really was showing how brave she was.
  • Jenny making Vanessa laugh was enough for her to get back on the saddle after a long time of being scared to get back on a horse.

    Kate's Birthday 
  • The sequence of the Unfriendliness Ritual. An enormous whirlwind blows atop the murky waters of the pond in the middle of the Valley of No-One and blows Kate and Magic's hairs away, and Krakia flies towards the pond, making her teleport to the Big City.

    The Puppybuster 
  • Mela and Balloon managed to obtain the Magic Drop near the top of the tallest tree known in the Pocket Kingdom.
  • While Slowpoke was away and busy with tending to her plants, the Royal Guards fight Eva and her goons and drive them out of her home. Keep in mind all of this happened in the dark.
    • Zull, Gort, William, and Danny collide with each other and end up rolling down the stairs, but that didn't stop them from proceeding to beat up each other.
    • Eva blows pollen into William's eyes to hinder him and then Zull attacks him, but William immediately attacks Zull back without hesitation.

    White Paw 
  • Wallace chases down the Pet Buster's van to the point he gets exhausted and even manages to get inside it without the Pet Buster's knowledge while he kidnaps a stray cat off the streets. Even Krakia is in awe of his stealth and determination.
    Krakia: That dog is risking his life just to help Princess Ava! He must really care for her!
  • Mela was brave and light enough to get the Magic Drop from the tree overhanging a massive pit. Even if she was about to slip off, she still managed to cling on to the branch as long as she could before help arrived… from none other than Zull and Gort.
  • However, help from Zull and Gort came at the price of Kate giving Eva her bracelet. Kate even says that a promise is a promise, to which everyone else is astonished at her sense of selflessness.
    Mela: But you know she wouldn’t keep her word if she were in your shoes!
    Kate: That may be true, but that’s why we’re different. It’s what Princess Ava would do.
    William: Sometimes being pure of heart can be very difficult but you, Kate, taught us once again never to waver even under pressure.
    Juno: Yes, that takes real courage.
  • As Eva jumps around, thinking that she finally got what she wanted, she suddenly gets herself in a rising geyser and loses the collar. Juno jumps over to retrieve the collar and gives it back to Kate.
    William: Fate has returned the Friendship Heart into the hands of the rightful keeper.

    Friendship is a Treasure 
  • Kate is brave enough to face the Pet Buster with only two dogs accompanying her.
  • Keeping Evershell's advice in mind to follow the direction of one's heart and use one's ears, Kate and her friends find a secret field of golden flowers where real gold coins can be found.
  • All of the strays jeer at Krakia, shouting at her to leave Ava alone as she tries to get Ava herself. One cat even swats at her, knocking her back.
  • Kate manages to find her way to the Pet Buster's house while carrying a heavy bag of gold coins with her at the same time, just as he had Ava on the table for the auction.

    Sweet Dreams 
  • The final round of Capture the Banner where it's Kate against Eva. Eva claims that she'll win because of her feline reflexes, but Kate has some tricks up her sleeves. She and Eva run in a circle, circling Mela until Eva gets dizzy. Kate takes the banner, ending in a victory for her team so that they can get Flipper to the Big City.
    Magic: You're number one in every way, Katie!
    Balloon: How did you not get dizzy after all those circles?
    Kate: The secret's to always stare at the same spot! And I looked at my puppy!

    Good Manners 
  • Magic stands up to Kate while Kevin tries to mess with her, even taking the hit of the second water balloon.
  • William and Danny look for the Magic Drop in a pond full of hippopotamuses, considered one of the most dangerous animals there is. Luckily for them, they're just very lazy and refuse to move until Nail and Scratch persuade them to do so, keeping in mind Bella's advice for them.
  • After Zull and Gort purposely fail Bella's lessons, Kate shares her idea with Bella about the exam: to bring two female dogs to the school to get Zull and Gort to behave. This actually worked, much to the dismay of Eva, and Bella could go to the Big City now that she successfully got the two lackeys to behave with the help of Kate.

    Operation 'Princess' 
  • Kate was able to break into the Pet Buster's high-security home with the help of two dogs and everyday objects. An eleven-year-old girl managed to outsmart a man who's about six times her age.
  • Kate and her friends are trapped thanks to Krakia activating a vertical bar trap in the Pet Buster's cage room. What does Kate do? She gets all of the strays' collars to make a chain so that she can press the button at the other side of the room to deactivate it. She manages to get all of the strays free, except for Ava.

    In the Cove of the Cat 
  • As funny as this scene is, Leo manages to talk Zull and Gort into getting a fight to erupt between the two, thus distracting them so they won't notice he's escaping from the hideout. As Eva arrives to see Kate's friends trapped in quicksand, Leo arrives to their rescue, even telling Eva what he did to get out of her home. Eva was not pleased, grumbling at how it's yet another reason why her two lackeys aren't very trustworthy.

    Finally Free! 
  • After a while of training and fumbling at first, Kate and Magic eventually become more agile and quicker than before, with catching tennis balls while keeping their eyes shut, dodging balls thrown at them, and creating silhouettes with paper.
  • For the Royal Test, Kate and Magic will have to figure out how to cross the river together without swimming in it due to how rapid the current moves. Kate throws both Magic and one end of the rope to the other side and Magic ties it to a tree, while Kate does the same with her end. Kate crosses the river by holding on to the rope and not falling in, and succeeds.
  • As Danny was too afraid to complete the Tibetan Bridge trial, his training was still unfinished until now. He finally gets to complete the trial without falling into the water and tells his fellow Guards that it wasn't hard at all.
  • Thanks to Steel Wool's training, Kate and Magic prevented the Pet Buster from trying to take the Friendship Heart and got him arrested while he breaks into their house when Kate's father couldn't, by using "Home Alone" Antics. Once again did an eleven-year-old protect not only a precious jewel but herself and the entire house from a man much older than her while no other adult was available to help her.
    • Not only this but the whole time the Pet Buster was there and Kate got him arrested, Peter was asleep and didn't get up until the morning. She did all this on her own with only a dog to assist her.
  • While the Pet Buster gets, well, busted, Wallace sneaks out of the house to free Princess Ava once and for all.
    Ava: Finally free. Thank you.

    A Gift for Ava 
  • Kate and Magic managed to find their way to an exit of the Bottomless Cave with the help of teamwork, both from each other and from a bat who offers to help them.
    • Kate is arguably one of the only children to get out of dangerous situations, including being inside a cave as massive as the Bottomless Cave, without any help from an adult. Well, she did have help from talking animals, but it still is awesome.
  • Kate, Magic, and the Guards meet Eva and her goons yet again at the cave exit, and once again ward them off from taking Kate's half of the Friendship Heart or the Magic Drop. Zull and Gort leap to get them from Kate but are struck down by William, Danny, and even Magic.

    The Last Piece 
  • The Puppy Trotters' routine. The fact that they're dogs who can do just as amazing at acrobatics as humans could.
  • Eva gives the Puppy Trotters a challenge to catch the pin while jumping over the wishing well. Sketch shows his courage to do the challenge, though the other members tell him he doesn't have to do it because of the risk of falling into the well. He accepts anyway, even if Zull and Gort push him into the well.
  • Kate says her wish to bring Ava back to Pocketville, which the well answers. This brings not Sketch back up from the well, but a Magic Drop as well.
  • The fact that Koty can not only take on the job as secretary or an usher, but he can juggle as well, even at the same time as balancing something on his nose.

    Together Forever! 
  • When the other piece of the Friendship Heart is sent to the Royal Guards, Kate places both halves together to cause the Friendship Heart to magically merge back into one jewel while the Pocketpedia shows an illustration of Kate and Magic on the Magic Fountain's springboard.
  • The Ceremony to bring Ava back to Pocketville, complete with a split scene of Ava and Eva leaping into the air at the same time, and when Ava lands safely in Kate’s arms.
  • The Friendship Heart floats in the air and creates the Ocean of Friendship. Kate and Magic are given the Friendship Heart and the Ocean of Friendship is now in Ava's care.
