"Good morning, guys!" Ash called as he strolled into the kitchen and grabbed some milk from the refrigerator. "What's going on?"
"I'm letting Ami help me put the dishes away." Misty called from the sink, washing the dishes Brock had used to prepare the morning's breakfast: cinnamon rolls. Ami sat nearby, sorting the forks, spoons and knives.
"How did you teach her to do that?" Ash asked as he sat down and poured a glass of milk for himself.
"I told her the forks are used to pick up the food, the spoon to scoop up food, and the knife to cut the food." Misty explained as she returned to scubbing the pans in the sink.
Just then, Brock noticed that a plate had somehow fallen out of the cabinet and was hurtling towards the floor. "Look out!"
"I got it!" Ash dashed from his chair and caught the plate in his hands before it hit the floor. "Whew..." But before he could return the plate to the cabinet, a second plate fell on top of the first plate!
"What the..." Misty asked as more plates, cups, silverware, and other dishes rained from the cabinet above.
"Uh, Misty? I could use some help over here..." Ash grunted as he struggled to balance the five plates in his right hand, three cups in the other hand, a cup and three more plates on his head, and several more cups on one foot.
"Wonder how all the silverware wound up on you, Ash?" Brock laughed, taking a bite of his cinnamon roll.
Ash looked to see Ami peeking out from the empty cabinet, clutching a lemon candy in her paws. "Ril azu?" she asked, offering the candy to Ash.
"Not--whoa---right...yipe!--now, Ami..." Ash stammered. "I'm--yipe!--trying..."
"Azu azu!" Ami giggled, tossing the candy into the air!
"Uh..." Brock started, but winced as the candy landed on the last plate, causing Ash to lose his balance, sending all the silverware crashing to the floor!
"I said no, okay?" Ash grumbled as he eased himself to his feet and helped Misty sweep up the bits of the plates.
"Look at it this way..." Brock assured Ash as he helped sweep up plate bits. "I have plenty more plates to replace these!" At this, Ami's eye's brightened, thrilled at the prospect of pushing off more plates. "But they're not for you to break!" he sternly told Ami as the cleanup continued...

"Okay, Ami..." Misty cooed as she filled up the bathtub. "It's time for your bath..."
"Azu..." Ami grumbled as she watched the water in the bathtub rise.
"I know you don't want to..." Misty continued as she grabbed a few bath toys and placed them in the water. "but you do want to be nice and clean, don't you?"
"Azu?" Ami smiled. "Rill azu!"
"Would you want to enter a Cute contest?" Misty asked as she carefully set Ami in the water. "If you want to win first prize, you'll want to look clean and pretty for the judge."
"Rill ril!" Ami chirped, splashing around excitedly.
"Okay, I'll let you play for a while." and Misty left the room...
"Ril ril azu rill!" Ami laughed to herself as she scooted a boat across the water. Next, she grabbed several more boats and laid them out all in a row--or rather--sailed them into a row... "Ril!"
"Pika?" Pikachu and the other Pokemon walked in the bathroom, curious as to what Ami was doing. "Pika pi chu?"
"Azuri azu rill!" Ami explained, proudly showing off the fleet of boats that bobbed in the water. "Ril azu ril!"
"Grov grovyle vyle..." Grovyle commented.
"Pika?" Pikachu asked, curious to know the answer to Grovyle's question.
Grovyle curled himself in a ball and leapt into the air. "GROV-VYYYLLLLEEEE!!!!" he cried as he landed in the water with a gigantic splash.
Totodile looked down and noticed the water was up to his legs. "Toto toto!" he commented, applauding Grovyle for his cannonball dive.
"Pika!" Pikachu commented. "Pika pi pi chu!" Sure enogh, the bathtub was empty, save for Ami in one corner, and a soaked Grovyle.
"Quil cynda cynda quil!" Cyndaquil begged. Totodile hopped over to the bathtub faucent and helped Cyndaquil turn the water on, causing the bathtub to fill again. When the tub was full again...
"GROVYYYYYYLLLLEEEE!!!!!"
"PIKAAAAA!!!!"
Pikachu was the first to land in the water, but Grovyle once again emptied the entire tub. Ami, meanwhile, laughed with delight as Cyndaquil and Totodile began filling up the bathub again...

Meanwhile, in the living room, Brock and Misty relaxed on the couch--Misty reading a new novel, and Brock watching a baseball game on TV.
"Isn't this nice, hearing the Pokemon playing in there?" Misty mused as she heard the laughter coming from the bathroom.
"Well..." Brock began as he watched the pitch fly into the outfield. "I'm not sure what they're doing in there...but all I'm hearing is the water running, a big splash, laughter, more water running, another splash, more laughter, water running again, yet another big splash...
"Your point?" Misty asked.
"Does a waterfall coming down the stairs sound familiar?" Brock sighed, gesturing to a pool of water collecting at the bottom of the stairs. Misty gasped, sloshed up the stairs, and threw open the door, where five sopping wet Pokemon and a flooded bathroom met her eyes. "Who did this?" All the other Pokemon pointed at Grovyle.
"Grov?" Grovyle asked. "Vyle Groooov?" he mused in a romantic voice.
"Sorry, Grovyle, but the sweet talk doesn't work on Misty, no sir!" Misty snapped, leading Grovyle into a time out area. "Now, you sit here and think about what you did! The bathtub is not a swimming pool!"
"What happened?" Ash asked as he sloshed up the stairs.
"Grovyle flooded the bathroom by doing cannonball dives into the bathtub...Misty grumbled as she grabbed the buckets...again...
