In fact, Natalie isn't the only one smitten with Brock – a quirky little Lotad seems to have taken a liking to him as well. Natalie decides to win Brock's affection by finding a Citrus Berry and she wanders off into the woods. She finds one, but a Beedrill wants it, too! Luckily, Brock arrives in time to save her from the Beedrill. Meanwhile, Team Rocket has decided to catch all the Lotad in the lake and it's up to Brock's quirky friend, Lotad, and Pikachu to save the day.
The Celestian Alliance, Ash, and his friends The Atkins sisters were on the beach relaxing after the whole Hoopa incident. Baraz, Hoopa, and Meray joined in as well.
Misty, Frank, Kiki and Sam were surfing, Pikachu and the other Pokemon were playing volleyball, Meray, Hoopa, Stitch, Angel, and The Celestian Birds were building a sandcastle, Gary, Kiki, Frank, May, Tucker, and Betty Ann were playing in the water, Ash was eating an apple, Brock was looking at a bikini magazine and Max was reading a Pokemon Friend magazine.
Suddenly 3 girls came in. 2 were teens like while the other was a girl around Max's age. They were selling berries on the street, figuring it can be healthier. Lucy saw them, waved, and introduced The Celestian Alliance to them. "I'm Natalie and these are my big sisters, "Nicole" and "Rita"." said the youngest sister.
Chilrie recognized Nicole from her math class in high school. Gary started to act nervous, "You know what that means." Gary said.
"Major beauty!" Brock said as he held their hands, "Your flowers are elegant as you beauts are and I would love to learn about your berries."
"Maybe Squishing that habit you have would be better," Max said as he grabbed Brock by the ear.
Suddenly, a flock of lotads followed them. "What's up Pikachu?" Ash asked as Pikachu ran up to them.
"What are those things?" Lucy asked.
"I don't know" Max answered, "But there's a lot of them.
"Those are Lotad," Chilrie answered,
"Lotad are you sure." Betty Ann asked, "They are kind of cute."
"They seem friendly," Sam replied.
"I think they just want to play," Max suggested.
"I think Max is right," Tucker said
"Are you taking your lotads for a walk Nikki?" Chilrie asked.
"Of course Chills," Nicole answered.
Natalie started to get jealous of her sisters since Brock flirted with them. He explained the Natalie is too young for him.
"Look at all these berries," Tucker said as he ate a tamato berry, only for him to get a burning mouth.
There he rushed to the picnic basket and drank a water bottle.
"My brother tends to be disobedient," Gary explained.
Nicole offered them some cheri berries for free and they were delicious, "These taste organic." Meadow said.
"Our paternal grandmother is in town and we're spending time at the beach," Sye explained.
"We can use rotten berries for our art and for writing poetry," Clair explained.
"Have the twins always been spooky?" Natalie asked.
"They have," Chilrie answered.
Meanwhile, Lord Hater and The Harbingers of Doom were practicing under the boardwalk when they saw some lotads. King Dedede thought that they would be perfect for a lotad soup or lotad legs.
A girl with purple hair and a fashionable bathing suit with a totodile and litten, and another girl with brown hair in a bun, a green swimsuit and accompanied with a Glaceon and Dedenne. The purple haired girl said, "Keep it down you bozos, we're trying to relax."
"Want to hear our latest song?" Goldar asked.
"No!" shouted the brown hair girl.
"Apologize for Brianna, she can be a loud mouth time to time." the purple haired girl explained.
"Your right Moana." Brianna replied, "Let's have a sunbathe while our Pokemon play in the sand.
Later at their shop, "Lombre Berries" the Lotad sisters were giving The Celestian Alliance a tour
"You and Miss Bossypants would be a perfect match, Max," May suggested.
"Can it May," Max replied.
"I apologize for our sisters' rudeness."
"Look at the garden," Gary said.
"We raise all kinds of berries there." Nicole explained, "All the berries have effects on Pokemon."
"Can you give us an example of a berry?" Lucy asked.
"Citrus berries can give Pokemon all kinds of energy," Nicole answered.
"I want to learn everything about breeding Pokemon," Brock said.
"I can give my boyfriend here a list." Natalie insisted, much to Brock's embarrassment.
Rita came in saying that the hose is busted, but Nicole wasn't worried. She told the lotad to use water gun not the plants. "Lotads don't use water gun," Max explained.
"They actually perform all types of special attacks," Nicole replied.
"Where's Natalie?" Frank asked.
"Let's look around," Lilo suggested.
They looked around the garden til they found Natalie by a Cheri Berry tree picking some berries. She explained that she was doing this for Brock.
Lord Hater and The Harbingers of stole all the lotads. Pikachu saw the whole thing. He tried to stop them, but King Dedede decided to make Pikachu into a Pikachu sandwich. The Celestian Alliance came in and were horrified, "Generosity!" Betty Ann shouted as she freed the Lotads.
"Now Thunderbolt," Pikachu shouted.
Pikachu did a thunderbolt on the band and they got scared and ran away.
"Rats!" King Dedede groaned."I guess I can kiss the Pikachu sandwich goodbye."
"Don't forget the lotad legs and soup." Commander Peepers replied.
"No more berry hunting by yourself Natalie," Nicole said.
"Okay," Natalie said.
She gave Brock a list of the perfect berries for Pokemon and they took off for the lab.
The End.
