Attention all readers-Here is the Johto region. I'm going on record to say that I'm working hard on the Johto region and I've only seen certain clips online for certain episodes. In the original airing of Pokemon and its entire running of Ash and Pikachu's journey, I know that Ash doesnt have a sibling. Like the other Pokemon Fanfiction that I have uploaded so far, in my version (as well as others that I have read), Ash has a sibling.
Also, Jordan will do the current count for the number of times Team Rocket tried to take Pikachu and Meeko away from her and Ash, that includes the banned and not aired in the United States episodes. I don't want to make those episodes feel left out. I hope that you will like it and Happy Reading!
I DONT OWN POKEMON! I ONLY OWN THE OC AND THE CREATION OF HER REGIONAL POKEMON TEAM! TO ANYONE WHO HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE REGION ORDER THAT I'M WRITING, I ASK THAT YOU STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT IT! ITS GETTING REALLY ANNOYING RIGHT NOW! I'M WORKING WITH WHAT I GOT SO DONT RUSH ME TO DO THE OTHER REGIONS, OK!
Shoutouts:
Guest-Am I to assume that you know when the Pokemon Horizons episodes are going to air for the United States? If not, then please stop asking me about it. It's at the point right now where I'm feeling very regretful about posting my Pokemon fanfiction and that I should take them down. So, unless you have questions, comments, concerns, possible ideas, or even suggestions about the current regions: Alola, Johto, Kalos, Kanto, or Galar, then I'm asking that you and everyone else to please stop asking me. I'm not trying to be mean or rude about it, I'm just telling you the truth.
Narrator: When we last saw our heroes, they'd been lost in the forest on their way to Violet City. Jordan even got a new Pokémon.
Jordan: Yep, a Hoothoot.
Meeko, nodding: Riolu!
Narrator: But now, they're finally out of the woods.
"Hey! A real city!" said Ash as the quartet pulled up to a fenced cliff.
"Pika!" squeaked Pikachu.
"Yep, that's Florando!" said Brock.
"Maybe we can relax and do some sightseeing while we're here." said Misty.
"Toge-Toge!" squealed Togepi.
"I hope that we can get some laundry done and stock up on some snacks." said Jordan.
"Riolu!" said Meeko.
"Misty, Jordan, I can't relax in a city full of girls who need to be protected!" Brock tells them.
"Protected from you." said Misty.
"And your romantic adventures." added Jordan.
"What are we waiting for?" asked Ash. "Let's see the sights!"
"Pikachu!" said Pikachu, eager to see the town.
Once they arrived inside Florando, a lot of people were gathered around. "Wow, there's so much to see." said Ash as he held onto Jordan and Meeko.
"Pika." Pikachu said, excitedly.
"What do you guys think we should do first?" asked Misty.
"Check out the Pokémon Exhibition." said a girl who ran up to them.
"The Pokémon what?" asked Jordan.
"The Pokémon Exhibition." she said and holds up a flyer.
"Whats a Pokémon Exhibition?" asked Ash, taking the flyer.
"It's a giant outdoor Pokémon entertainment festival." the girl explained. "Every year, Trainers and Pokémon from around the world come here to put on Pokémon shows. It's what Florando is famous for."
"Cool! Riol!" said Jordan and Meeko.
"Hey!" said Misty.
"We read about the Florando Pokémon Exhibition in the last issue of 'Pokémon Trainer Monthly'." said Brock.
"Hey, you think Jordan and I could do a show with all of our Pokémon?" Ash asked Brock.
"Sure." said Brock as Jordan and Meeko smiled.
"A live stage show?" asked Misty.
"No, I mean a television show." said Ash.
"I would start out with a stage show first before heading in that direction if I were you." Jordan tells her brother as Misty, Brock, Pikachu and Meeko groaned. "You don't know if any of your Pokémon are camera shy."
"Jordan's right. Who'd watch anything like that?" asked Misty.
"Come on, guys, let's go and see some real entertainment." said Brock, dragging Ash by his backpack while the girls walked behind them. A crowd was applauding as the quartet walks into the center of town.
Gasping, they see a Flareon jumping through a flaming hoop. "Flar! Flar!" it said.
"Oddish! Electrode!" said an Oddish balancing on top of an Electrode. "Oddish!"
A troupe of Mankey was copying the moves of a guy with sunglasses. "Alakazam! Alakazam!" said an Alakazam, using its psychic power to bend a giant spoon.
Even a group of water Pokémon were doing a water show. "Wow! That's cool!" said Ash.
"Pika!" said Pikachu.
"Riolu!" said Meeko, then pulls at Jordan's arm. "Riol, Riol!"
"You want to do something like that?" asked Jordan.
"Riolu!" Meeko said, nodding.
"You got it!" said Jordan, hugging Meeko.
"Hmm?" said Ash as he hears cheering.
"Bella! Bella!" said a grass type Pokémon as it and its friends jumped and twirled in the air.
"Hey, what are they?" asked Ash.
"Bellossom, the Flower Pokémon. When these Pokémon move, their delicate petals run together creating a pleasant sound. They are also known for their unique acrobatic dancing abilities." said Dexter.
"Riol!" squealed Meeko, wanting to try acrobatics.
"They sound pretty neat." said Ash.
"Want to get a closer look?" asked Misty.
"I know Meeko and I do!" said Jordan.
"Mm-mm." said Ash, nodding.
"Bell! Bell! Bello!" said the two Bellossom, dancing together for the crowd as the quartet got even closer.
"Bell! Bell!"
"Bello!"
"They're just like gymnasts." said Misty.
"Yeah, that girl's done a really great job of training them, hasn't she?" asked Brock.
"Togeprriii!" squealed Togepi.
"Riolu." said Meeko, watching the Bellossom.
"And now, ladies and gentlemen our gravity-defying grand finale!" said the girl.
"Bello, Bello, Bello!" said Bellossom #1, doing a backflip.
"Now, just stay relaxed and we'll get it this time." she said.
"Bello." they both said.
"Go!" said the girl.
"Bell!" said Bellossom #2, running towards its friend who puts its hands together. "Bell!"
"Bell!" said Bellossom #1, lifting its friend into the air.
"Belle-Loop-D-Loop!" said the girl.
"Bello…." said Bellossom when it closed its eyes and falls into Ash's arms.
"That's a lucky catch, Ash." said Jordan as her brother falls to his butt.
"Riolu." said Meeko.
"Oh! I'm so sorry. Are you alright?" asked the girl.
"I'm fine. Like my sister said, I made a lucky catch." said Ash.
"You were in the right place at the right time for us." she said, taking Bellossom from Ash.
"Uh, my name's Brock, and as far as I'm concerned any place you are and anytime you're there is the right place and the right time for me." said Brock, holding her hand.
"Huh?" asked the girl, confused.
"There's a time and place for everything but for you, it's not here and it's not now!" said Misty, dragging Brock away.
"Cool you jets, lover boy." said Jordan.
"Olu!" said Meeko.
"Here's a toast to you and your friends for saving my Bellossom." said the girl, making a toast with her soda.
"Thank you for that great show." said Ash.
"Yeah, here's to you." said Jordan, Misty and Brock.
"Pika!" squeaked Pikachu as he shared a soda with Togepi while Meeko had her own.
"I don't think we've introduced ourselves. My name is Bailey and these very talented Bellossom are my two-star performers, Belle and Bella." said Bailey.
"Bello!" said Belle and Bella, introducing themselves.
"My name's Ash and this is Pikachu, my sister Jordan and her buddy Meeko." said Ash.
"Pikachu!" said Pikachu.
"Hi!" said Jordan.
"Riolu." said Meeko.
"Pleased to meet you." said Bailey.
"My name's Misty and this is my Togepi!" said Misty.
"Togeprrii!" squealed Togepi.
"Who cares about their Pokémon?" asked Brock. "My name's Brock. Why don't you and I…Uh-I! Ah!"
"Down lover boy!" growled Jordan as Misty grabs Brock by his vest.
"What do you mean, 'Who cares about Pokémon?'" asked Misty.
"Are you and your Bellossom gonna try that trick again at the exhibition tomorrow?" Ash asked Bailey.
"Well, that was our original plan." said Bailey, looking Belle.
"Bell." said Belle, disappointed about what she did.
"Belle doesn't sound too happy." said Misty.
"I'm afraid our Belle-Loop-D-Loop just hasn't been working out lately." Bailey explained.
"Yeah, I kind of noticed that." said Ash.
"Belle used to do it perfectly, but ever since we got here we've been having problems with it." said Bailey.
"Bell." said Belle, turning away from everyone.
"Maybe Belle is having stage fright." said Jordan.
"Stage fright?" asked Misty and Bailey.
"Yeah. Maybe Belle is scared to perform the trick in front of other people." Jordan explained. "I know I would if I was doing an acro trick."
"You used to have stage fright at your dance recitals." said Ash.
"Yeah…." said Jordan.
"Belle's just in a slump." said Brock.
"Yes, but we'll just keep doing the best we can." said Bailey. "Isn't that right, Belle?"
"Bell." Belle said, nodding in agreement.
Walking through town, Team Rocket was in the crowd. "There's something very festive in the air wouldn't you say, James?" asked Jessie.
"I thought it was Meowth." said James.
"Looks to me like the whole town is getting ready for some of street performance." said Meowth.
"That sounds like it's right up our alley." said James.
"Wouldn't it be exciting if James and I could demonstrate our talents here?" asked Jessie.
"It's be exciting if either of you had any talent." said Meowth, not caring about their actual talents.
"Hah! It is in my blood, the flamenco!" said Jessie as she Baile dances her way towards Meowth.
"You better get a blood test, Jessie." said Meowth, freaking out at the dress as James hums his way in with a Ballet outfit.
"We're gonna get rich." said Jessie.
"Yes, and you're going to help us do it." added James.
"I don't have to dance or nothing, do I?" Meowth asked.
"Oh, no." said the two as Jessie spins James around. "We'll do all the dancing.
"Then what do I have to do?" questioned Meowth.
"Just be yourself." said Jessie and James. Jessie giggles as she and James found a stage, with Meowth glaring at them.
"Hurry, hurry! Step right up." said Jessie, trying to pull in a crowd. "It's the one-of-a-kind attraction guaranteed to shock and amaze you. Gather around and feast your eyes and ears on the world's only walking, talking, squawking Meowth anywhere!"
"What am I gonna say?" Meowth asked, shocked that this was what they had in mind.
"Gather round, folks!" James called out as a crowd started to gather.
"This should be interesting." said a man from the crowd.
"I wonder what its gonna say." said a woman.
"Did she say a talking Meowth?"
"I've got to hear this!"
Jessie plucks Meowth up and places him in the center of the stage. "Here's our star!" said Jessie and James as Meowth blinks at the crowd.
"Yeah, say something."
"Yeah, talk. Come on."
"What are you waiting for?" Jessie asked Meowth, who whimpers on stage.
"Meow-w-w." said Meowth, scared of the questioning crowd who were going to asked how he learned to talk.
"Huh?" the crowd said, confused by this.
"You call that talking?" asked one man.
"What're you trying to pull?" asked the second man. The crowd boos at Team Rocket as they try to come up with an excuse.
"There will now be a short intermission." said James as he and Jessie grabbed Meowth, taking off.
"Whats the matter with you, Meowth?" asked Jessie. "Why didn't you say something?"
"Because I get very inhibited when I'm being exhibited." Meowth stated.
"But the crowd won't give us a cent if you don't talk." said James.
"I can't think of nothing to say to all them people." said Meowth.
"Who care. Just say any old thing!" demanded James.
"I will not insult my public with an unscripted performance." protested Meowth.
"I thought I was supposed to be the Team Rocket prima donna." said Jessie. She then turns around and starts writing something for Meowth. "Here! Go out and read these jokes." she says to Meowth.
"I don't know, comedy is tricky." said James.
"It's all in the delivery." said Meowth, taking the paper.
"Sorry for the interruption." Jessie said to the crowd once they were back on stage.
"Now, to delight and amuse you, we present the amazing Meowth!" said James.
"Hi, folks. I got some great jokes for ya." Meowth said to the crowd.
"Get a load of that!"
"Hey!"
"It really talks."
"That's amazing."
"Uh, what does a Pokémon with allergies say?" Meowth asked. "Peek-achoo!"
"Huh?" said the crowd, confused by the joke.
"When should a Pokémon trainer make an appointment to see a doctor?" asked Meowth. "When his 'Bulb is sore'."
"What? 'Bulb is sore'?" someone in the crowd asked.
"That was one of my best ones." giggled Jessie.
"We ought to clean up with material like that." chortled James. Just then, the crowd starts to disperse.
"I'm moving. Come on." said a woman in the crowd.
"Hey, you, the show's not free!" said Jessie, holding a container for money.
"If it's not, it should be." said the man, giving Jessie an uncomfortable look.
"Yeah, those jokes are the worst." said man #2.
"Meowth's just getting warmed up the funny stuff is on the way!" said James, stopping both men from walking away any further. He then rushes over to Meowth and whispers in his ear.
"They'll love this one." said Meowth. "Hey, did you hear about the low-fat Pokémon? Caterpie. Ha-ha!"
"Huh?"
"Butter-free, not Caterpie!" James growled at Meowth as he ruined the punchline.
"Butter-free! Caterpie! Whats the difference?" asked Meowth as the crowd walked away.
"It isn't funny!" argued James.
"It's funny if you tell it!" shouted Meowth then both of them looked out.
"Where is everybody?" they asked.
"Well, at least you two managed to stop the show." replied Jessie.
"Well, don't blame me." said Meowth.
"If your delivery had been better we would have been a hit." argued James.
"You wanna see a hit, I'll show you a hit, believe you me!" yelled Meowth.
"We need you to warm up the crowd not cool them off." said Jessie.
"Now, they'll never get to see Jessie and me dance." said James.
"And you think that's a bad thing?" asked Meowth.
"We would have put on a sensational show, James." Jessie told him.
"The best!" he said.
"My flamenco would have been the rage!" squawked Jessie.
"And I would've done a leap right off the stage!" said James. "They would've gone mad for my glad pirouettes."
"And I'd drive them wild with my great castanets." shrieked Jessie. "James, maybe there's still a chance for our dancing dreams to come true."
"I agree, so wha do we do?" he questioned.
"Luckily, I have a brilliant idea." she said, with castanets in hand.
"That worries me." said Meowth. Seconds later, Team Rocket comes in on a moving stage.
"Stand back, stand back!" yelled Jessie.
"Out of the way!" shouted James. "Out of the way! Out of the way!"
"Stand away! Watch out!"
Bailey and the quartet looked up as they see Team Rocket made their way. "I know those voices!" said Ash.
"Me too." said Jordan.
"Back off!"
"Hey!" shouted Ash as he and Jordan stops Team Rocket from going any further. "You can't just bulldoze your way in here, Team Rocket!"
"Ash, what's going on? Who are these three?" asked Bailey.
"Prepare for trouble and for dance."
"I'm wearing tights instead of pants."
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all people within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!" said Jessie.
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!" said James.
"Ta-dah!" said Meowth.
"Although, that tutu looks a little weird on you, James." said Jordan. "Have you ever thought of wearing a Male's Leotard?"
"Riolu." said Meeko, shaking her head in shock.
"There's a Male's Leotard?" asked James, confused as he looks down at his ballet outfit.
"Uh…yeah. I took ballet for six months when I was two." said Jordan. "So many dance recitals."
"Come on, Pikachu, we know how to get rid of these three, don't we?" asked Ash.
"Pika!" shouted Pikachu.
"Wait, Ash!" said Bailey.
"Huh?"
"This place is reserved for the trainers and Pokémon who perform in the exhibition and we'll be the ones to defend it." Bailey said.
"Well, if it's a battle you want…" said Jessie.
"Then a battle you shall have!" said James.
"Alakazam, use your Psychic attack on them!" shouted Alakazam's trainer.
"Alakazam!" it shouted, using Psychic on Team Rocket as it lifts their stage up into the air and tips it over.
"Let's give them a performance!" said Jessie. "Arbok!"
"Victreebel, go!" shouted James as Victreebel tries to eat his head. "Get off! I have my public to think about!"
"Come on, team, they can't scare us!" shouted Bailey.
"Bello!" shouted Belle and Bella.
"Arbok, get them with your Poison Sting!" said Jessie.
"Bok!" shouted Arbok firing its Poison Sting.
"Bello, Bell, Bello, Bell." said Belle and Bella as they danced their way through Poison Sting.
"Victreebel, Swords Dance Attack!" shouted James. Shrieking, Victreebel gets off of James.
"Use the back step we rehearsed." said Bailey.
"Bello, Bello, Bello, Bell! Bello, Bello!" said Belle and Bella as they jumped back from Victreebel's attack.
"They're cool." said Misty.
"Nice moves." said Brock.
"Keep it up, guys, you're doing great!" said Ash.
"Pika!" cheered Pikachu.
"You're doing awesome!" said Jordan.
"Riol, Riol!" said Meeko.
"Argh! Come on, team!" screamed Meowth. "Quit dancing around and attack them back, will ya?"
"Arbok, Victreebel, use Wrap Attack!" shouted Jessie and James.
"Cha…bok!" shouted Arbok as it and Victreebel wrapped themselves around Belle and Bella.
"Belle, Bella, do the Jump Turn." said Bailey.
"Bello!" said the two as they jumped up and flipped forward.
"Riolu!" said Meeko with stars in her eyes as Belle and Bella landed on Victreebel and Arbok.
"Bell…..!"
"Now use Sleep Powder." said Bailey.
"Soom!" said Belle and Bella, using Sleep Powder on them.
"My poor baby!" shrieked Jessie and James as they ran to their Pokémon.
"I think we've been upstaged." said Jessie.
"Lets make a grand exit." said James.
"We'll be back for an encore!" Meowth shouted over his shoulder.
"Meowth, make sure you get him a Leotard." Jordan called out a Team Rocket runs past her.
"Belle…som!" said Belle and Bella, landing on their feet.
"Thank you, ladies and gentleman, we hope you enjoyed the show." Bailey said as she bowed.
"Bell!"
The crowd cheered and applauded for their performance. "That seemed more like a performance than a battle, didn't it, guys?" asked Misty.
"Togeprii!" added Togepi.
"It did." said Jordan. "Meeko and I could do something like that."
"As long as the beat Team Rocket, who cares?" said Brock.
"I don't know how they did it, but they sure deserve a big hand." said Ash.
"Pikachu!" squealed Pikachu, impressed by Belle and Bella.
"Riolu! Olu!" squealed Meeko.
"Bello!" said Belle and Bella, proud of their routine as they got an ovation.
As the sun sets, Team Rocket eats their dinner in an alley. When the last piece of food was still on the plate, James and Meowth started to fight over it when Jessie snags it at the last second. "Aa…"
"Huh?"
"The last one's always the best." said Jessie.
"How in the world am I supposed to survive if I keep on getting deprived?" asked Meowth.
"You could always let baby twerp capture you." Jessie tells him.
"And she'll let you all fat with Pikachu and Meeko." added James.
Meowth starts daydreaming about what would happen if Jordan had caught him along with Meowzie.
[Meowth's daydream]
"Here you go, Meowth!" said Jordan, placing a big bowl of food in front of him.
"Wowee! Thanks a lot!" said Meowth.
"Meowth! Meowth!" purred Meowzie, rubbing her head against him.
"This is the life!" Meowth said as he eats everything.
"Pika! Riol!" said Pikachu and Meeko, smiling at him.
Meowth continues to eat as Jordan, Pikachu and Meeko placed more food in front of him and Meowzie smiles.
[Meowth's daydream ends]
"Oh how I wish that could've happened…." said Meowth.
"I guess renting that bulldozer didn't exactly help our financial situation." said James, picking around the plate as the wind howls around them.
Out of nowhere, the wind blows a piece of paper into Jessie's face. "Huh? 'Come and enjoy the annual Florando Pokémon Talent Exhibition'." Jessie said, reading the paper.
"Its tomorrow." said James, reading it as well.
"And I bet there'll be tons of talented Pokémon for us to swipe." Meowth added.
"We'll go then." Jessie said.
"And we'll grab every Pokémon at the exhibition." added James.
"And while we're at it, we can grab a slice of pizza." Meowth finally said.
Stars were in the sky as the sun finally sets behind the buildings. Pikachu, Meeko, Togepi, Belle and Bella were nearby as their trainers were around the table, watching them. "Did you always train your Pokémon to dance instead of battle?" asked Ash.
"No, at first we practiced dancing as a way of cross training for battle." Bailey tells Ash. "But when I saw how happy Belle and Bella were whenever they danced together, the look on their faces convinced me to concentrate on dancing instead of battling. We've been communicating with each other much better since we've focused on dancing and now it's our goal to become the greatest Pokémon dance troupe anywhere."
"They really love dancing, don't they?" asked Misty as Meeko runs over to Jordan and have to join the dance.
"They sure do." said Brock.
"That's why we all want to do the very best we can at the exhibition tomorrow." said Bailey.
"Bello." said Belle and Bella.
"Now you know all about us, we want to head about you." Bailey said to the quartet.
"Well, I want to learn everything there is to know about Water Pokémon." said Misty.
"Since I was a kids, all I've ever wanted was to be a Pokémon Breeder." said Brock.
"Until recently, I didn't know what I wanted. But now, I want to be the best trainer that I can be and maybe beat my brother in a battle." said Jordan.
"And all I want to do is become the world's greatest Pokémon Master." said Ash.
"Well, it sounds like we're all big Pokémon fans." chuckled Bailey.
"Bailey, I was wondering about something." said Ash. "How did your Bellossom beat Team Rocket just by dancing around?"
"Yeah! Your Bellossom caught the attention of Meeko." said Jordan.
"Olu!" said Meeko.
"Because dancing and battling aren't so different." answered Bailey.
"They're not?" asked Ash. "What do you mean?"
"Dance steps can be just like a fighter's footwork and rhythm is just as important in battle as it is dancing." Bailey explained.
"You really think so?" asked Misty and Jordan.
"Riol?" asked Meeko.
"Come to our workout tomorrow and we'll show you." offered Bailey.
"Mm, that would be great." said Ash, then turns to Meeko and Jordan. "Maybe this workout would inspire Meeko to dance a little bit."
"Good idea, Ash." said Jordan.
"Olu?" Meeko asked with hope in her eyes.
"Yeah, it would help you strengthen up some things." said Jordan. Meeko squeals happily as she jumps into Jordan's arms.
"Bello." Belle and Bella said to Pikachu.
"Pika!" Pikachu said, eager to watch their workout.
"One, two, one, two." Bailey said the next day as she started Belle and Bella's workout. "Try to step in time with the beat, Pikachu and Meeko."
"Bello, Bello, Bello." said Belle and Bella as they, Pikachu and Meeko did the dance.
"Rio…lu…Rio…lu." said Meeko, trying to stay on beat.
"That's right, that's good." Bailey said, encouraging the Pokémon. "Now try the Backflip."
"Bello, Bell….o." said Belle and Bella as they did a couple backflips with Pikachu and Meeko.
"Sidestep, sidestep. Then double twirl and pose." said Bailey.
"Bello, Bello." Belle and Bella said as they sidestepped to the left with Pikachu and Meeko, then double twirled in the air.
"Pika! Riol!" said Pikachu and Meeko as they landed.
"That was great, Pikachu." said Ash, clapping for the performance.
"Meeko, you were awesome." said Jordan.
"Pika!" Pikachu squeaked as he and Meeko became embarrassed.
"Now, don't forget those steps, you two, and next time you're in a battle, you can use them to get away from your opponent's attacks." Bailey said to the two.
"Pikachu!" said Pikachu, nodding.
"Riolu!" said Meeko.
"All set, Bailey. Ready when you are." said Ash, who was in position just in case..
"If everyone's in position, lets practice the Belle-Loop-D-Loop." said Bailey.
"Bell, Bell." said Belle and Bella.
"Alright, Belle, now picture in your mind how its done and try to relax, okay?" Bailey asked Belle.
"Bell." said Belle.
"And Bella, you need to have split second timing when you give Belle the boost." Bailey said to Bella.
"Bello." said Bella.
"Go!" shouted Bailey.
"Bell….." Belle started off, running towards Bella.
"Bello." said Bella, lifting Belle into the sky. Belle closed her eyes and tensed up in mid-air, starting to panic as Ash catches her in his arms.
"Belle!" said Bailey, running over to Ash and Belle. "It looks like we still need some practice."
"Bell." Belle said, hanging her head in disappointment.
"Please don't feel badly, Belle." Bailey tells her. "I know you did your best. We can just leave the Belle-Loop-D-Loop out of our routine for tomorrow."
"Bellossom." said Belle, still disappointed in herself for messing up the routine. At a small stadium, everyone came to watch.
Under the stage, three guards were tied up and had gags around their mouths. "Ladies and gentlemen, I can't tell you who'll go home with the grand prize at our annual Pokémon Exhibition but I can promise it'll be a big surprise." said Jessie as she and James walked out.
"We guarantee an unforgettable show so lets meet our first contestants, right here." said James and introduces Bailey and the others as they came out.
"Come on, Bailey." said Brock.
"Good luck, you guys." said Ash.
"You can do it, Bailey." said Misty and Jordan.
"With that kind of welcome we'll have to drag them off stage." said James.
"Take it away!" said Jessie, laughing as the quartet and the crowd cheered for the performers until they hear Meowth laughing overhead.
"I may not know how to dance the Flamenco, but I'm great when it comes to casting nets." said Meowth, holding a net in his paws. "Hah!"
"A dancing pun…." said Jordan as Meowth drops the net below. "interesting."
"Oh, no!" said Ash as Team Rocket's balloon takes off,
"Not again!" said Brock.
"Up, up and away!" said Meowth, taking the Pokémon with him.
"What are you doing?" Bailey asked, reaching out for her Pokémon as Jessie and James grab onto the rope. "Those are my Bellossom! They look awfully familiar."
"That's probably because Team Rocket's familiar and we're pretty awful too." said Jessie.
"Ta-ta, twerps." said James, seeing them in the crowd.
"We've gotta do something fast!" said Brock.
"But they're already too high up." said Misty.
"Meeko's Vacuum Wave cant reach that high." said Jordan.
"Hey, wait." said Ash. "I choose you, Heracross!"
"Hera! Heracross!"
"Quick, Heracross, if you use your horn to throw Pikachu high enough, maybe we can stop Team Rocket." said Ash.
"Heracross!" said Heracross, lowering its horn for Ash.
"Ready to go, Pikachu?" asked Ash.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu replied.
"Okay, Heracross, fire away!" said Ash.
"Hera! Chu!" said both Pokémon as Heracross lifts Pikachu up in the air.
"Oh, my!" said Bailey.
"Huh?" said Jessie and James as Pikachu rockets past them and the Pokémon.
"Oh?" said Meowth as Pikachu goes past him.
"Wow, Heracross…." said Jordan, standing next to the Pokémon with Meeko. "You got Pikachu past Team Rocket and the Pokémon."
"Hera!" said Heracross.
"That only leaves me with one question…were you aiming for the basket or just the balloon?" Jordan asked.
"Hera…Heracross." Heracross tells her. Just then, Pikachu lands on the balloon.
"I'm impressed with that height distance." said Jordan, high-fiving Heracross.
"Use your Thunderbolt on that balloon!" shouted Ash.
"Pika…chu!" shouted Pikachu, releasing his Thunderbolt and Team Rocket screams while their balloon pops. Team Rocket groans as they hit the ground.
"Pikachu, are you alright?" Ash called out to the electric mouse.
"Pika-Pik!" Pikachu shouted as he ran out from under Team Rocket's balloon.
"Pikachu." said Ash as Pikachu jumps into his arms.
"Huh? You again?" asked Jessie and James, seeing Bailey and the quartet.
"You're grounded, give those Pokémon back." said Ash.
"Now without a battle, Twerp. Arbok, I choose you!" said Jessie.
"Chaa-bok-bok!" shouted Arbok.
"Victreebel." said James.
"Victree!" screeched Victreebel.
"This is so embarrassing! Ee!" said James as Victreebel landed on him.
"Yeah….he really needs to train that one." said Jordan.
"Riolu." said Meeko.
"We tried telling him, but you know from experience how stubborn he is." said Meowth.
"How do you think we feel about these two." said Misty, pointing at Ash and Jordan.
"Its true." said Jordan.
"Its an everyday thing." said Ash, then points to Team Rocket. "Go get 'em, Pikachu!"
"Pika!"
"You too, Meeko!" said Jordan.
"Riol!"
"Arbok, Poison Sting Attack now!" shouted Jessie.
"Dance around them, Pikachu and Meeko." said Ash.
"Yeah!" said Jordan.
"Pika! Riol!" they both said as they did the workout routine they learned with Belle and Bella.
"Treebel!" screeched Victreebel, heading towards Pikachu and Meeko.
"Victreebel, use your Take Down Attack." said James.
"Do like the Bellossom do!" said Ash and Jordan.
"Pika! Riol!" said Pikachu and Meeko, following the steps as they dodged Victreebel's attack.
"Don't let that Pikachu and Riolu get away from you." Jessie said to Victreebel and Arbok. "Use Tackle Attack together!"
"Bok!" said Arbok as it and Victreebel surrounded Pikachu and Meeko.
"Take a big leap, Pikachu!" said Ash.
"Jump as high as you can, Meeko!" said Jordan.
"Chu! Olu!"
Pikachu and Meeko leaped high into the air, causing Arbok and Victreebel to crash into each other. "Don't just lie there. Use your Wrap Attack, now!" shouted James.
Using a vine, Victreebel wrapped it around Pikachu's and Meeko's legs. "Okay, now Arbok, surprise them with your Bite Attack." said Jessie.
"Cha!" shouted Arbok.
"Are you alright?" Bailey asked her Pokémon, lifting up the net.
"Bell!" said Belle and Bella, nodding that they were fine and leaves the net.
"Pik!" said Pikachu as Arbok heads straight for him and Meeko.
"Bello!" said Belle and Bella as they did the Belle-Loop-D-Loop.
"You can do it!" said Bailey.
"Alright!" said Ash.
"Bell….." said Belle, closing her eyes as she tenses up once again but was more determined than ever to finish the dance. "Ossom!"
Twirling in the air as she did a backflip, Belle kicks Arbok in its face before it could Bite Pikachu and Meeko. "The Belle-Loop-D-Loop, it was perfect!" Bailey exclaimed.
"Victree!" screeched Victreebel as Arbok fell to the ground.
"Arbok, return." said Jessie.
"Treebel!" screeched Victreebel, ready to finish the battle.
"Pikachu, use your Thunderbolt attack." Ash called out.
"Meeko, use Vacuum Wave." said Jordan.
"Pikachu!" shouted Pikachu, using Thunderbolt on Victreebel.
"Riolu!" shouted Meeko, sending Vacuum Wave and knocking Victreebel out.
"Belle and Bella, team up and blow them away with a Tornado Twister." said Bailey.
"Bello, Bello, Bello!" said Belle and Bella as they spin together, creating a Twister and sends it towards Team Rocket.
Screaming, Team Rocket was sucked into the Twister. "I feel like I'm dancing on air." said Jessie.
"Those Bellossom turned things around." said James.
"Yeah, this is a real twist ending." said Meowth.
"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" they shouted into the distance.
"Pika! Riol!" said Pikachu and Meeko, sticking their landing.
"Bell!" said Belle and Bella, posing.
"You did it!" said Ash. "Oh, are they okay?"
"Don't worry." said Misty. "They're all just fine."
"Electrode! Alakazam! Ditto!" said the Pokémon as they went back to their trainers.
"No problemo." said Brock.
"That's great, guys." said Ash.
"You know, Ash and Jordan, I think you'd make a set of pretty good dance trainers." complemented Bailey.
"Thanks, Bailey." said Ash.
"Pika!" said Pikachu.
"Honestly, I think it was fun, seeing Meeko dance like that." said Jordan.
"Riol? Riolu?" Meeko asked, wondering if she could do it again.
"We'll definitely do it again." said Jordan, smiling at her Pokémon. "Maybe this time, I'll join you."
"Riolu!" said Meeko, nodding vigorously that she wanted Jordan to join her.
"Do you two think you can put on another performance just like that at the Pokémon Exhibition?" Bailey asked Belle and Bella.
"Bello!" they said enthusiastically with smiles on their faces.
Back at the exhibition, the show continued as Bailey, Belle and Bella did their performance. "Bello…Bello….Bello!" said Belle and Belle as they did their performance.
"Alright, Bailey!" cheered Misty and Jordan.
"Bailey!" cheered Brock.
"Pika! Riolu!" cheered Pikachu and Meeko.
"Go for it!" said Ash.
"Belle, Bella, are you ready?" asked Bailey.
"Bell." they said, confidently.
"Belle-Loop-D-Loop. Go!" said Bailey.
"Bell…." said Belle, running towards Bella. She was then lifted up into the air and did the twirls, releasing flower petals before landing. The crowd cheered for them and their performance.
"Alright!" shouted Brock and Ash.
"Perfect!" said Misty and Jordan.
"Pika! Riol!"
Narrator: The Bellossom finally mastered their moves and gave the performance of a lifetime.
Jordan: And they've inspired me and Meeko to do our own performances too.
Meeko: Riol!
Narrator: Do you have something in mind?
Jordan: Maybe, but we figured that we should start out with something small.
Meeko, nodding: Olu, Riol.
Narrator: That's a great idea! But long after the applause has ended, Ash and Jordan will remember the lesson they've learned that battling isn't the only way for Pokémon and their trainers to achieve success.
"Lets take one last spin around town." said Jessie as she, James and Meowth were still spinning from the Twister.
"Arent we taking an awfully roundabout route?" asked James.
"Is this what they mean by a whirlwind tour?" asked Meowth.
