Here's where the actual story begins. Aipom is now queen of the village and the villagers are much more accepting of the fact they have a Pokémon making their decisions for them, but there's just one problem, they don't understand anything she tells them, but that's when Meowth comes along and puts his plan into action by translating so the villagers are able to understand Aipom's thoughts. Both Ash and Aipom have their suspicions Meowth is up to something, although he convinces them otherwise.
Aipom has been queen of the village for a week now, and the villagers are much more able to accept the fact she's their leader and the one in charge for the next year, although there is a slight predicament. Aipom tries to tell the villagers her thoughts on what they can do to improve their village, but nobody understands her at all.
She always tries to give suggestions, but the villagers just look at each other in confusion and question each other, "Does anybody understand what she's trying to tell us?"
Just then Meowth came in and immediately when she noticed him Aipom began screaming trying to order the villagers to throw him back out, but once again, they don't understand her.
Ash then comes along and notices Aipom going frantic so he rushes over and questions, "What's going on, Aipom?" he then noticed Meowth and gasped in shock and then wondered, "How'd he get in here?" he then speaks up and informs the villagers, "Hey, that Meowth is bad! He's a part of an evil organization known as Team Rocket, and they always follow my friends and I around and try to steal our Pokémon away from us!"
The villagers all gasped in shock and turned to Meowth, and one of them noted, "That's probably what the queen was trying to tell us, and Meowth's probably trying to steal her away from us!"
Meowth hollered and defended himself, "That's not what I'm doin', I swear on all of my nine lives! Please don't hurt me!"
Ash wrapped his arms around Aipom to protect her and remarked, "I don't believe anything you say, Meowth! You're not going to steal Aipom! She's already got a lot of stress to deal with, so just get lost!" Ash knelt over as Aipom whispered in his ear, and then he informed the villagers, "The queen is saying to get rid of this Meowth immediately!"
The villagers all begin charging at Meowth and he runs from them as quickly as he could, and when he finally reached Ash and Aipom he saw that Ash was still shielding Aipom from him and they were both glaring at him, but he informed them, "Look, I'm not here to do anything bad, I promise. I came here all on my own to help you out. Since Aipom's the one who's in charge I thought I'd translate for the villagers so they can understand what she wants from them."
Aipom noticed the villagers still running at Meowth, and then she looked back at him and noticed how terrified he was, so she ordered the villagers to stop and began explaining to them what Meowth just explained to her and Ash, although the villagers didn't understand her.
This time, it was Meowth who translated to the villagers by informing them, "Basically, what Aipom's tellin' ya is that I'm really not here to cause any trouble like she first thought. I just wanna help you all out because otherwise you wouldn't be able to understand her when she tries to give you an idea or tell you something she wants," after that speech the villagers all backed away from Meowth who let out a sigh of relief and remarked, "Glad that's all over with," he then thought to himself, "I gotta be careful or otherwise the twerp or Aipom might find out the truth and then blow my cover."
Ash and Aipom were still glaring at Meowth as he thought to himself, and then Ash leaned over and whispered to Aipom, "We've both gotta keep a sharp eye out. We don't know Meowth's real intentions, and I'd hate for him to do anything sneaky like try to steal you away. I'll be here to protect from him I promise I won't let him do anything to you, Aipom."
The Long Tail Pokémon looked at Ash lovingly and began blushing at his sweet words. She knew she just had to tell him how she felt and that she had to do it soon. She looked over at Meowth and got the perfect idea in her mind, she'd tell him how she felt and then have him tell Ash for her.
So now that Aipom is queen of the village and Meowth is there to translate her thoughts to the villagers, will everything go more smoothly for her, and now that she plans to use Meowth to explain her feelings to Ash, what will happen between them?
