Episode 143: Will the Real Oak Please Stand Up?

Mew and her friends continue their journey to the Johto League, and they stop in a small town and decide to treat themselves to a little gourmet dining. Mew and her friends are at a fast food restaurant, having some lunch.

"Hmm, the food tastes really good," Tomo says.

And the fires are yummy," Molly says.

Soon, some music plays over the radio before a familiar voice is heard.

A familiar radio host, "Hey, kids, get ready for Professor Oak's radio show!"

And soon hears Professor Oak's voice, "Hello, boys and girls! Been catching lots of Pokemon?"

"Professor Oak's show," Mew says.

"And DJ Mary, too!" Brock happily says.

Professor Oak's voice continues on the radio, "So it is possible that Starmie's blinking crystal is somehow being used to communicate with beings from outer space."

"You know, it does seem like Starmie are from some other world," Mew says.

"Wow. Do you think so?" Misty asks.

DJ Mary says, "Now it's time for the Professor's Poetry Pantry. Do you have a Starmie poem for us today, Professor?"

Then Professor Oak says, "I sure do, Mary. Put your fighting faith in Starmie, to make sure that you're safe from harmie."

Tomo says, "I hate to say it, but that poem…"

"It was kinda awful, huh?" Misty replies.

"I don't know about that," Brock says, "They say you have to think about them for a while to get what they're about. A Pokémon poem may seem silly, but there's always a deeper meaning in there."

"Really?" Jen asks.

"It's true. I've heard Professor Oak talk about Pokemon Poetry all the time. Even though they're always silly, there's always a deeper meaning behind their words. I may not do it as often, but I do read Pokemon poetry during my time, Mew says.

"That's impressive," Brock says.

"Thanks, but I'm still learning about it, but they have meaning and understanding of Pokemon behind it, "Mew says.

Then DJ Mary says, "Great news, kids! Check it out. Tomorrow, Professor Oak will be doing a live, outdoor recording of the show in Maroon Town, and admission is free!"

At the radio station, both the host and the guest continue.

"That's right, Mary," Professor Oak says, "And I'll follow up my lecture with a question and answer section."

"Recording starts at 1:00 PM on the Pokemon stage at the Maroon Town fairgrounds. And I'll be there, too, of course, hosting the entire affair!" DJ Mary says.

Back to the group…

"Whoa! Mary's gonna be there, too! Okay, next stop, Maroon Town," Brock happily says, and quickly looks into the guidebook.

"But how would we get there in time? She said it's tomorrow at one," Misty says.

Brock rapidly flips through his guidebook to find where Maroon Town.

"Hey! Maroon Town happens to be right on our way and it's only one town away from here!" Brock says.

"Yeah! Then let's hit the road to Maroon Town, you guys!" Mew says.

"Let's go," Jen happily says.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket wanders into a town.

"Finally, a town. I could use a rest," Jessie happily says.

"I could use a rest-a-raunt," Meowth says.

Jessie says, deflated, "It's your fault, James, for losing that pack of goody-goods."

"It's Meowth's fault," James says, deflated.

"Sure, blame da little guy," Meowth says.

"WOBBUFFET!" (Blame for all!) Wobbuffet says.

"Get back...!" Jessie angrily says, about to return Wobbuffet.

But before she can finish, Jessie's hunger stops her before the entire team collapses.

"I'm starvin'," Meowth says.

"WOBBUFFET!" (So am I!) Wobbuffet says

Jessie lifts her head up, "I'm exhausted!"

"I can't walk another step," James feels the same.

Meowth looks up to notice something, "Huh? What's dis here poster about?"

Team Rocket looks to see the picture of Professor Oak and DJ Mary.

"Whoa! That's Professor Oak and they're up everywhere!" James says, seeing all the Posters around.

"You're right for a change! But what is it?" Jessie asks.

Meowth looks at the poster, "A public recording of Professor Oak's radio show."

"Here in this dinky town?" James questions.

"Unless there's a free lunch, I'm not interested," Jessie says.

And Meowth reads, "And after the tapin', dere's a free lunch buffet for da stars of da show!"

"A lunch buffet?!" Jessie and James ask, surprised.

"Salad!" Jessie says.

Then James, "And fruit cups!"

"Alls we gotta do…" Meowth says.

"s be the stars!" Meowth happily says.

They soon run off and reappear in disguise. James is disguised as Professor Oak, and Jessie is disguised as Mary. Meowth is dressed as a disguised man, with Wobbuffet acting as his legs.

Jessie happily says, "Hi, kids! I'm everyone's favorite DJ, Mary! Welcome to today's live show! Well?"

"Way too dramatic, babe. Tone it down," Meowth says.

Wobuffet cries out, "WOBBUFFET!" (Get off me!)

And Meowth falls off him.

"Just who are you supposed to be anyway?" Jessie questions.

"I'm da big mouthed, overbearin' producer. Every show has to have one, baby," Meowth says.

"Sad but true," James says.

Soon, Nurse Joy shows up, "I couldn't help but overhear you talking. Are you Professor Oak and DJ Mary?"

"I am Professor Oak, the one and only," James says.

"And I'm Mary, the incredible dj! It's so nice of you to have us, Nurse Joy!" Jessie happily says.

Nurse Joy then says, "Welcome, on behalf of Maroon Town. But I'm surprised to see you since you originally said you wouldn't be arriving until tomorrow."

Team Rocket looks in shock, realizing that they arrived here too early.

"Uh, yeah, let me explain dat. I'm da big top cheese here," Meowth says, "You see, I told da professor dat Maroon Town was full of loyal Pokemon fans and he said he wanted to meet them all as soon as he could.

"I'm impressed, Professor," Nurse Joy says, "In that case, let me take you to the stage right now."

Soon, they see where the stage was set up and chow down once there.

"Wow! You three must've been hungry," Nurse Joy says, surprised.

"Oh, yeah! It's been a long journey for us," Jessie says, stuffing her face.

"You got more grub where dis came from?" Meowth replies.

"All this food was supposed to be the after-show buffet. I could go see if there's any left backstage," Nurse Joy points out.

"That's the plan! You just keep bringing it all out!" James says and laughs.

"Fine, then, while I'm doing that, Professor, would you mind answering some of these children's questions?" Nurse says.

"Uh, questions?" James questions.

"Of course! Of course! Feel free to ask the professor anything," Jessie says.

James whispers, "Jessie, what if I don't know the answers?"

Hey, that's for you to figure out. You're Professor Oak, now, aren't you?" Jessie says.

All the kids start talking at once, and like to know something.

James panics, "It's horrible! They're staring holes through me with those sweet and unsuspecting eyes!"

Meowth whispers, "No sweat, James, I got all de answers for ya in dese here books," holding out a stack of books.

Jessie then whispers, "You're a great producer, Meowth."

Soon, one child steps in, "Hello, professor. I'm a really huge fan of yours."

"Always nice to hear.

"So, what exactly is that leek thing that Farfetch'd is always carrying around?" the child asks.

"A fine question. What is that?" James replies, nervously.

Meowth searches in the book, "Farfetch'd? Farfetch'd? It doesn't say anyting about Farfetch'd in here," Then searches in another, "Let's look in here. Hmm. Wow! I didn't know tomatoes were actually fruits and not vegetables."

Jessie whispers, "Pokemon facts, not fruit facts."

In his thoughts, James says, "Never mind, I'll fake it!"

And says out loud, "I have the answer to that question, young lad! Farfetch'd has a hockey stick."

"I never would've guessed that, but now that I heard it from you, it must be true!" the child says, amazed.

Then another child asks, "Why is it that electric attacks don't work on Pokemon like Quagsire even though they're water types?"

"Uh, well. Because of…" James nervously tries to explain.

Meowth whispers, "Hang on. I've got dat here." and whispers to James.

James says, "Now, that's because Quagsire have the characteristics of both water and ground types. And, of course, you know that electric attacks don't work on ground types. Isn't that right? So even though Quagsire is a water type, its ground type characteristics protect it from electric attacks."

"Wow! You really do know everything, Professor Oak!" The child says, amazed.

"Well, that's my job!" James says and laughs.

Then the child asks, "Is it true Clefairy are aliens, Professor?"

Another child asks, "How will I know if it's the right time to evolve my little Eevee?"

"Is there really such a Pokemon as Celebi?" Another child asks.

Then another child asks, "What do I do to evolve my Tyrogue into a Hitmontop?"

Meowth whispers and panics, "Get em to slow down, James, or we won't be able to keep up!"

James says, "Settle down, everyone! Questions, one at a time! One at a time!"

Jessie looks to her left and finds photographers with cameras in hand, making her nervous.

One photographer says, "As president of the DJ Mary fan club, I'm pleased to welcome you to our town, DJ Mary."

"I can hardly believe I'm seeing you in person," A second photographer says.

Jessie nervously says, "Isn't that nice?"

"Can we all take your picture, Mary?" Another photographer asks.

"Well, uh…" Jessie nervously says.

Meowth whispers, "A star never says no to her fans, Mary."

Then says out loud, "Absolutely, folks! Take all you want!"

Soon, the cameras start clicking as Jessie nervously plays along.

"Go ahead," Jessie says.

And says in thought, "A girl could get used to this kind of treatment."

Later that night, at the local hot spring.

Jessie sighs, "hat was close. For a minute there, I thought they'd figure out we were phonies. But we fooled them all and here we are, still getting the star treatment."

"Hot springs are always so relaxing," James says.

"Hey, I got an idea. I'll go find a phone and order room soivice," Meowth says.

Jessie then grabs Meowth by the tail, "Hold it. We've got a good thing going and I don't want you messing it up."

"Yeah, just think about all the other freebies that could be coming our way," James says.

"Den we'll keep riding dis gravy train," Meowth says.

"All hail, the imposters!" Team Rocket cheers.

The next day, the real Professor Oak and DJ Mary show up at the Maroon Town Pokemon Center, but are left with a shocking surprise.

"What do you mean the professor and Mary are already here?" Professor Oak asks, shocked.

"They are," Nurse Joy says.

"But that's impossible, since this is Professor Oak and I'm DJ Mary," Mary confirms.

"Then who's over there having breakfast?" Nurse Joy wonders.

"How's that?" Professor Oak asks.

Both of them look over to the left and spot the imposters chowing down.

"She's gotta be kidding with that hairdo, right?" Mary questions.

"And their manners are terrible," Professor Oak points out.

Soon, the children from yesterday show up.

The first child asks, Professor Oak? I've been thinking about what you said yesterday and I'm pretty sure that's not a hockey stick Farfetch'd holds, but some kind of a root."

"Well, you're on the right track," Professor Oak says, "But the stick that you're talking about isn't actually a root, it's the stem of a plant, and it certainly isn't sporting goods."

"Then why did you say something different yesterday, Professor Oak?" the child asks.

"Huh?" This leave the professor confused.

"Yeah! You told us that Farfetch'd carries a hockey stick!" The second child says.

The first child says, "Just cause we're kids, you shouldn't give us fake answers!"

Professor Oak calls out, "Wait! Wait! It really is believed to be a stem, just like I said."

"Tell me, Professor. Is it a stem or is it a root?" A child asks.

"Can you prove Clefairys are aliens, like you said before?" The child asks.

The professor says, "No, I can't prove that. Some have said Clefairy are extraterrestrials, but there isn't any proof of it in Pokémon science."

Then the child says, "Something's wrong. I don't trust this professor at all."

"I think they're trying to fool us with their phony Oak," The other child says.

Dumbfounded, Mary wonders, "Professor, what do you think is going on?"

Suddenly, Mew's voice appears, "Professor Oak!"

That's when Mew and the others show up.

"Hi!" The group happily reply.

"Hey, thanks for coming," Mary says.

Then Brock takes Mary's hand, "It's clear that since fate has brought us together again, we must've been meant to be!"

Misty grabs Brock by the ear, "Actually, fate wants you to stand over here."

"Well, thank you, and it's nice seeing you again, too," Mary says.

Nurse Joy then asks, "Can you folks identify those people over at the breakfast table?"

The group turns to see the imposters sitting at the table.

Mew decides to confront them, "Hey, who are these weirdos?!"

Team Rocket soon panics and falls backwards.

They whisper, "Twerps!"

Mew sternly walks over, "Get out here!"

"Why are you pretending to be the Professor and DJ Mary and whatever it is you are?!" Misty demands.

Brock closely examines the second DJ Mary.

"What are you talking about?" Jessie asks.

Brock covers his ears and screams in agony, "That voice! This thing is not Mary!"

Jessie grabs Brock angrily by his vest, "Where do you get off calling me a thing?! I AM Mary! I am! I am! I am!"

"And, obviously, I am the professor," James says.

"You're an imposter!" Professor Oak says.

Team Rocket falls back.

Meowth whispers, "What do we do now? Da real deal is here! Da jig is up!"

Mary then questions, "Who are you and what are you doing impersonating us?"

"You're impersonating me, sweetheart," Jessie says.

"I'm me, and I oughta know!" Mary says.

"Somehow, the fake Mary seems more real than the real one!" Brock says.

"Or the real one's more fake," Tomo bluntly says, though he's not serious about it.

"Please," Mew says, and points to James, "That guy is clearly not Professor Oak. I lived in his household for two years and visited him and saw his face multiple times. I know a fake when I see one."

"You tell them, Mew," Tomo says.

"I agree. If anyone knows who the fake, it's Mew," Jen says.

Molly nods in reply.

Then Professor Oak says, "You've got a lot of nerve showing up here like this and ruining my good name, whoever you are!

Jessie turns to James, "Professor Oak, this is outrageous! Don't let that phony talk to you this way!" Then whispers to James, "Our only shot is to play this bluff for all it's worth, James."

Meowth says, "Dat's right! Keep it goin'!"

"Right!" James whispers.

Then James says out loud, "You'll never convince anyone you're Professor Oak with THAT haircut."

"I like this cut," Professor Oak shouts, feeling offended.

Then Misty gets between them and shouts, "Stop! Since neither of you will back down, we'll have to have a contest to determine which of you is real. All we have to do is ask questions about Pokemon and whoever answers correctly is the real professor. After all, Professor Oak is the world's leading authority on Pokemon research, isn't he? There shouldn't be any Pokemon question you can't answer correctly.

"Fine," Professor Oak says, "Let these be the terms. Whoever loses will concede the battle and leave with no further argument."

"Professor!" Tomo says, worried.

"But what if you lose?" Brock asks.

Professor Oak says, "Don't worry, there's only one Oak in this world, my friend, so it should be easy enough to spot the fake. And if somehow I do lose, it only proves that I haven't studied sufficiently and I'm due to start over from the beginning anyway."

"Oh!" Jen says.

"Only the TRUE professor would say something like that!" Brock says.

"I agree. That's the Professor Oak I always know," Mew says.

Then Professor Oak turns to the fake, "Well, how say you, Professor Oak?"

"Well, I, uh... That is, I, uh…" James says nervously.

James whispers, "Accept."

Jessie and Meowth slightly push James forward.

"Ow," James yelps, but then says, "I mean, wow! Wow! I accept, yes!"

Jessie hugs the professor, "Oh, professor! You're so confident!"

"Who's gonna be the judge for this contest?" Jen asks.

"None of us can do it because we know who the real Professor is, especially me," Misty says.

"How come?" Tomo asks.

"Well, we all knew Professor Oak and who's the real one. For Mew, she knows him longer than we do, so she knows Professor Oak more than us," Brock says.

Mew then has an idea, "I know!"

Then turns to Nurse Joy, "Nurse Joy, would you like to be the judge."

"There couldn't be a more perfect choice!" Brock happily says, taking Joy's hand.

Nurse Joy sheepishly says, "I guess after all the game shows I've watched, I can probably fake it."

Soon, the contest is set and ready to begin.

Mary announces, "Hi, everyone! I'm Mary!"

"And, I'm Mary!" Jessie says.

"And we have a very unusual show for you today," Mary says.

"A contest to reveal the real professor!" Jessie says.

"Why do we have to have two announcers?" Jen questions.

"They're both trying to convince us they're the real Mary," Misty says.

"I can tell because the real one is more beautiful," Brock says, blushes.

"Thank you, Brock. So nice to hear," Jessie says.

But Brock panics, "There's something way scary about that Mary."

"Maybe, but there's something very family about that one, especially attitude," Mew says.

"Our test will consist of three questions," Mary announces.

Then Jessie announces, "The first contestant to answer two questions correctly will be judged as the real Professor Oak."

Then Mary says, "Our first question requires a speedy response. But if you give a wrong answer, you may not respond again, so listen closely and be careful that you don't hit the buzzer too soon."

"Now, take it away, Nurse Joy!" Jessie says.

"Right," Nurse Joy says, "Here is the first question. What is the evolved form of Slowpoke…

Right on cue, Prof. Oak buzzes in.

"That was quick," James says.

"Yes, as a child, I played a lot of video games and I was known as 'Flying Fingers Sammy'." Professor Oak says.

Then Mary approaches, "Give us your answer now, please, Professor A."

"The correct answer is Slowbro," Professor Iak says.

However, the incorrect buzzer sounded.

"So sorry, Professor A, but that was your final answer," Jessie says.

"Sorry, there was more to the question. You were correct in saying Slowpoke evolves into Slowbro, but…" Nurse Joy says.

"Oh. Old 'Flying Fingers Sammy' jumped the gun," Professor Oak replies.

"But what is the name of the psychic attack that Slowbro learns upon reaching level 46?" Nurse Joy says.

Everyone waits for an answer in anticipation as the clock ticks away before James buzzes in.

James nervously says, "Uh, I think I know."

Jessie quierly says, "Hurry up and say something, James."

"I've, got, amnesia," James says.

Jessie sighs, "We're finished."

However, that turned out to be the correct answer.

"Yes," Nurse Joy says.

Jessie and James look in surprise.

"That's right. Professor B is correct. The attack is Amnesia," Nurse Joy says.

The crowd cheers.

James is surprised, "I'm right and he's wrong."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!" Jessie cheers.

Mew says, "Well, he is right, Slowbro does learn Amnesia after reaching that level."

"I guess to pretend to be the professor, he'd have to know some things," Brock says.

"He looked very nervously while answering it though," Molly replies.

"Maybe he just got lucky," Jen says.

James says in thought, "Luck is on my side so I'll just keep guessing."

"This guy really knows his stuff," Professor Oak says in his thoughts.

"That's one correct for Professor B. But that's no surprise as he is the true Professor Oak," Jessie happily says.

Then Mary says, "Alright, Nurse Joy, let's have question number two."

"This question deals with a silhouette. Examine the silhouette, and tell me which Pokemon it is," Nurse Joy says.

The silhouette comes up on the screen above Nurse Joy.

James mumbles, "What is that? Some kind of mutant footprint?"

"I remember answering a question like this once," Mew says.

"That's right, Mew. It looked like a footprint or something, but it was actually a Jigglypuff seen from a different angle," Misty says.

"I remember too. Mew was able to answer it right away back at the The Pokemon League Entrance Exam," Tomo says.

"Let's see which professor knows it," Brock says.

Then Mary says, "Now Professor B has the privilege of answering first."

"Uh, is it, the hand of a Sudowoodo?" James guests.

"Ha! That's a great answer," Jessie happily says.

Then Mary replies, "And now, Professor A?"

"It is clearly the tail of an Aipom," Professor Oak says.

"Nurse Joy, has either one of them given the correct answer?" Mary asks.

"The answer is; Aipom's tail. Professor A is correct," Nurse Joy answers.

The crowd cheers once more.

"Good job, professor!" Misty cheers

"That's it! You're halfway there!" Mew says.

Then Dj Mary says, "Professors A and B each have earned one point. Our last question will determine the winner and the identity of the true Professor Oak. Okay, Nurse Joy, I think we're ready for the final question."

"Wow. Winner take all. Pretty dramatic stuff, huh?" Meowth says.

"Who are you?" Mary asks.

"I'm da producer of dis here show, kiddo," Meowth says.

Jessie whispers, "Listen, Meowth. If you don't do something, we'll lose."

Meowth whispers, "Just leave it all to Meowthy, baby!"

Then Meowth says, "Everyone knows dat Professor Oak is known as much for his poetic ability as for his Pokemon knowledge, so why don't we decide dis with a poetry contest?"

The crowd cheers in agreement.

"I'm sure da true professor can come up with an original Pokemon poem dat would knock the socks off of does who have socks, right?" Meowth says with a chuckle.

"I like it," Professor Oak says.

"I've got no problem with that at all!" James says.

"A poetry battle, huh?" Tomo says.

"This'll be awesome!" Brock says.

"I agree. This will tell who's Professor Oak for sure," Mew says.

Jessie whispers, "Bad move. You don't know a thing about poems."

But James whispers, "That's where you're wrong, dear Jessie. In fact, I was champion stand-up poet back in grade school, and I won the Golden Tongue award three years running!"

"Oh," Jessie replies.

Then Mary says, "A round of Pokemon poetry will now decide this contest once and for all! I guess we just need the audience to suggest a theme for us."

Wobbuffet muffles, "Wobbuffet!" (I'm sweating!)

The noise of Wobbuffet's sudden outburst catches the attention of, not just DJ Mary, but some of the audience as well.

Especially Mew when she says in thought, "Hold on, was that Team Rocket's Wobbuffet just now?!"

Meowth quicky says. "Oh, sorry. I have a bad habit of bloiting dat out sometimes for no reason. Wobbuffet!"

"Fine. Wobbuffet will be the theme of our two poems," Nurse Joy says.

"So, we're gonna do Wobbuffet, huh?" Professor Oak asks.

"No problem!" James says, "I can spin together a beautiful line of verse," Then stands up, "Stand back and I'll start this off. It inflates its psychic self / But light will put it on the shelf / Wobbuffet."

The crowd is impressed.

"Not bad, if I do say so myself, for a little Wobbuffet poem I just whipped up on the spot, but then, I guess that's the kind of stuff you'd expect from the real Professor Oak," James says.

"I don't get it, but it did sound kind of pretty," Mew says.

"I guess it had a certain ring to it," Jen says.

"Hmmm…" Mew says, sounding unsure.

Jessie whispers, "James, that was really fantastic. I never knew you had a talent for rhymes."

"Maybe now you'll listen to me when I talk, and by the way, don't call me James, I'm a professor," James says.

Professor Oak says, "Not bad, but let me show you how it's done. Wobbuffet / When life is a mystery / It's your answer."

The crowd's expression quickly changes.

"Ah, man, that's a little deep," Tomo says.

"Yeah, it's so deep, it's a ditch," Brock says.

Professor Oak says, "This verse applies to both one small element of a Wobbuffet's life, and on another level, to the struggles of all people to understand and make the most of their lives."

"Give it up. Your poem went over like a lead balloon," James says.

"I could've done better than that," Jessie says, "If I just said Wobbuffet wears a hair barrette, at least it would've rhymed."

"Time to announce da winner!" Meowth says.

DJ Mary turns to Nurse Joy, "Now, Nurse Joy, who's the winner?!"

Nurse Joy thinks for the results. Everyone is waiting in suspence, while James, Jessie, and Meowth are confident about it.

Finally, Nurse Joy makes her decision, "Contestant A is the one and only true Professor Oak."

Tomo, Jen and Molly cheer, "YAY!"

"Way to go, Professor!" Brock says.

"Go Professor Oak!" Mew cheers.

Team Rocket falls over in disbelief.

James screams in disbelief, "How can you say that?! It's so obvious that my poem was superior to his pompous drivel!"

But Nurse Joy states, "Not true. Your work showed no understanding of Pokemon poetry!"

"Huh?!" Team Rocket says, confused.

"I oughta know, since I'm a fifth level master of Pokemon poetry!" Nurse Joy adds.

"Hey. That is impressive," Professor Oak says, impressed.

Jessie whispers to James, "How come you didn't know that?" which James doesn't respond.

"All of Professor Oak's poems have one thing in common; the ability to reassure and relax people," Nurse Joy says. And then explains, "Such as; Blastoise fight or hide away to fight again some other day. Obviously one meaning is literally to be careful, but the deeper message is for all people to save their strength for those difficult times in life when they will really need it.

Professor Oak nods in agreement.

Nurse Joy continues, "And to give another example; Sandslash rolls into a spiny ball / Three meals a day and eats them all. On the surface, this poem sounds like just a description of Sandslash and its lifestyle, but it also carries a lesson for us, that we should enjoy a balanced life and try all the new experiences that life offers us. So the professor has clearly proven that he is a master of Pokemon poetry, and sometimes he even gets it to rhyme!" and lets out a giggle.

"Now, Joy, that's laying it on a little thick," Professor Oak says.

Then Nurse Joy points to Team Rocket, "You, on the other hand, are obviously an amateur and your clever rhyme doesn't change the fact that you're wearing a bad wig!"

Jessie cries out in anger, "Amateur?! How dare you!"

"I paid a fortune for this disguise!" James shouts in anger.

Wobbuffet's voice cries out, "Wobbu!" (Can't breathe!)

"That's no imitation Wobbuffet, that sounds like the real thing!" Misty says.

Wobbuffet shouts out once more.

"There it is again!" Misty says.

"And it sounds very familiar.

Meowth whispers, "Put a cork in it down dere!"

However, Wobbuffet rolls out of the coat as he "Wobbuffet!" (I need air!)

"That's Wobbuffet!" Molly cries out.

And Jen says, "And Meowth!"

"If they're here…" Misty says.

"That means Team Rocket is here!" Brock says.

"I knew they look familiar," Mew says.

Meowth then stands up, "About time yous figured it out!"

James hits the buzzer, starting the motto.

James:

Now, playing the role of Professor Oak...

Then Jessie pushes the buzzer.

Jessie:

We hope you all enjoyed this little joke!

Meowth:

Now I present who we really are!

Jessie: (removes disguise)

To protect the world from devastation.

James: (removing disguise)

To unite all peoples within our nation.

Jessie:

To denounce the evils of truth and love.

James:

To extend our reach to the stars above.

Jessie:

Jessie!

James:

James!

Jessie:

Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!

James:

Surrender now, or prepare to fight, fight, fight!

Meowth:

Meowth Dat's Right!

Wobbuffet:

WOBBUFFET! (Free at last!)

"Team Rocket!" Mary and Nurse Joy say in shock.

"I knew there was something fishy going on!" Mew says.

"Yes, and we've had a whale of a time!" Jesssie says.

"But we're slippery as eels," Meowth says.

Then James calls out, "Weezing, Smokescreen, now!"

Weezing comes out of the Pokeball and releases the attack, blinding everyone as Team Rocket makes their getaway in their balloon with a laugh.

"We decided that we'll take our food to go!" Jessie says.

"Oh, no! The catered lunch!" Nurse Joy cries out.

"Oh, no you don't!" Mew says and about to call out her Pokemon.

But Professor Oak beats her to the punch by throwing a Pokéball, and from which, a Pidgey comes out.

"A Pidgey!" Mew says, a little surprised.

"I caught in on the way and thought it might come in handy," Professor Oak says.

Pidgey zooms upward.

Meowth calls out, "Look out! Inbound Pidgey!"

"Go get em, Pidgey! Quick attack!" Professor Oak calls out the attack.

Pidgey zooms in and breaks the rope holding the catered lunch.

"Hey! All my snacks!" Jessie cries out.

Mew, Tomo, and Brock along with the Pokemon manage to catch the food in time

"Alright, we got it!" Tomo says.

Then Professor Oak calls out, "Now, Pidgey, use Gust attack!"

Pidgey charges while Team Rocket blows it off.

Jessie mocks it, "Don't make me laugh. A little thing like that…"

"Couldn't blow out a candle!" James adds.

"Hey! Come back when you grow up!" Meowth adds in laughter.

Mew then shouts, "I think you three just made a big mistake."

"What does that mean?" Team Rocket questions.

And soon enough, Pigey performs a very powerful Gust Attack and sends Team Rocket blasting off.

Team Rocket cries out, "We're blasting off again!"

"Wobbu Wo!" (I'm hungry!) Wobbuffet cries out.

"That was fantastic!" Misty says.

"They made the classic mistake of judging an opponent solely by its appearance," Professor Oak says, "Terrific work, Pidgey."

Pidgey lands on Professor Oak's outstretched arm.

"Feels like time for a poem," Professor Oak says, "If it's a big Gust you attend, than it's a Pidgey you should befriend."

Pidgey warbles in agreement as the children rush in.

One of the children apologizes, "Professor, I'm sorry I thought you were a fake."

"Don't even think about it. Gather round now and let's talk Pokémon, okay?" Professor Oak says.

The children agree and gather around him.

"Yep. THAT is the professor I always know," Mew says.

"The kids sure know he's the real thing," Misty says.

"Often imitated but never duplicated," Brock says.

The group is glad that everyone knows who the real Professor Oak, and it took a simple meaningful poem to reveal it

Later that evening, elsewhere, Team Rocket is seen hanging from a branch.

"Someone! Anyone! Get us down from here!" Jessie cries out.

"Hey, I thought of another poem," James says.

Meowth is not interested, "I tink we all had enough of your poems."

But James says a poem anyway, "Those twerps don't seem so tough."

Suddenly, the branch starts to break.

Team Rocket cries out, "But we always end up blasting off!"

Right as they finish, the branch breaks completely, sending them plummeting down.
