03x06 - Flower Power

[bunniefuu]

When we last saw
our heroes,

they'd been lost
in the forest

on their way to
Violet City.

But now they're finally
out of the woods!

He-e-e-eyyy!

A real city!

Yep..that's Florando!

Maybe we can relax

and do some sightseeing
while we're here!

Misty I can't relax in
a city full of girls

who need t' be protected!

Protected from you.

What're we waitin' for? ! . .

let's see the sights!

Flower Power

Wow.. there's so
much t' see.

What d' you guys think
we should do first?

Check out the
Pokémon Exhibition!

What's a Pokémon
Exhibition?

It's a giant outdoor Pokémon
entertainment festival!

Every year trainers and Pokémon
from all around the world

come here t' put on
Pokémon shows!

It's what Florando
is famous for!

He-e-e-y...

..we read about the
Florando Pokémon Exhibition

in the last issue
of Pokémon Trainer Monthly!

Hey ya think I could do
a show with all o' my Pokémon?

Sure!

A live stage show?

No..I mean a
television show!

Now who'd watch
anything like that? !

C'mon guys let's go
an' see some

real entertainment!

Wow.. that's cool!

Hey..what're they? !

Bellossom, the
Flower Pokémon.

When these Pokémon move,

their delicate
petals rub together,

creating a
pleasant sound.

They are also known
for their unique

acrobatic dancing abilities.

They sound pretty neat!

Wanna get a closer look! ?

They're just
like gymnasts!

Yeah..that girl's
done a really great job

of training 'em hasn't she.

And now ladies
and gentlemen

our gravity-defying
grand finale!

Now just stay relaxed and
we'll get it this time!

GO!

Belle-Loop-D-Loop!

I'm so sorry are
you all right? !

I'm fine..I made
a lucky catch!

You were in the right place
at the right time for us!

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!

There's a time and
place for everything

but for you it's not
here and it's not now!

Here's a toast to you
and your friends

for saving my Bellossom!

Thank you for
that great show!

Yeah here's t' you!

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!

My name is Ash.

This is pikachu

Pleased t' meet you!

My name's Misty..and
this is my Togepi!

Who cares about
their Pokémon..

my name is Brock...

why don't you and..

Whaddya mean "who cares
about Pokémon? !"

Are you an' your Bellossom
gonna try that trick again

at the exhibition
tomorrow!

Well that was our
original plan...

Belle doesn't
sound too happy.

I'm afraid our
"Belle-loop d-loop"

just hasn't been
working out lately.

Yeah I kinda noticed that.

Belle used t' do it perfectly
but ever since we got here

we've been having
problems with it.

Belle's just in a slump.

Yes.. But we'll just
keep doing the best we can

isn't that right Belle!

There's something very
festive in the air,

wouldn't you say James?

I thought that was Meowth.

Looks t' me like the whole
town's getting' ready

for some kind o'
street performance!

That sounds like it's
right up our alley!

Wouldn't it be
exciting if James

and I could demonstrate
our talents here! ?

It'd be excitin' if either
of ya had any talents

t' demonstrate!

It is in my blood the
Flamenco-o-o-o-o-o!

You better get a
blood test Jessie!

We're gonna get rich!

Yes and you're going
to help us do it!

I don't have t' dance
or nothin' do I?

Oh no

...we'll do all
the dancing!

Then wha' do I
have t' do? !

Just be yourself!

Hurry hurry..
...Step right up.

It's the one of a kind
attraction guaranteed

to shock and amaze you..

gather 'round and
feast your eyes

and ears on the world's
only walking

talking squawking
Meowth anywhere!

Whaddam I gonna say? !

Gather 'round folks!

Did she say a
talking Meowth! ?

I don't believe it!

Let's check it out.

I wonder what
it's gonna say? !

I gotta hear this!

Here's our star!

So say somethin'

Yeah... talk!

Come on!

You call that talking? !

What're you
tryin' t' pull? !

what a rip off!

that thing can't talk!

There will now be a
short intermission!

What's the matter
with you Meowth

why didn't you
say something! ?

Because I get very inhibited
when I'm bein' exhibited!

But the crowd won't give
us a cent if you don't talk!

I can't think of nothin'
t' say t' all them people!

Who cares just
say any old thing!

I will not insult
my public

with an unscripted
performance!

I thought I was
supposed to be

the Team Rocket
prima donna!

Here! Go out and
read these jokes!

I don't know,
comedy's tricky.

It's all in the delivery!

Sorry for the
interruption!

Now to delight
and amuse you

we present the
Amazing Meowth!

Hi folks...

I got some (great)
jokes for ya!

Hey it really talks!

That's amazing!

Uhh..What's a Pokémon
with allergies say?

Peek-achoo!

ú When should a
Pokémon Trainer

make an appointment t'
see the doctor?

When his "bulb is sore!"

That was one of
my best ones! ?

We oughta clean up with
material like that!

Hey you..the
show's not free!

If it's not it should be.

those jokes
are the worst!

Meowth's just
getting warmed up

the funny stuff
is on the way!

They'll love this one!

Hey didja hear about
the low- fat Pokémon..

Caterpie..

Haha!

Huh?

BUTTER-FREE not CATERPIE!

BUTTERFREE CATERPIE WHAT'S
THE DIFFERENCE IT AIN'T FUNNY!

Where is everybody?

Well at least you two
managed to stop the show.

Well don't blame me!

If your delivery'd been
better we'd've been a hit.

YA WANNA SEE A HIT, I'LL
SHOW YA A HIT BELIEVE YOU ME! !

We needed you t' warm up the
crowd not t' cool them off.

Now they'll never get to
see Jessie and me dance.

An' you think
that's a bad thing?

We would've put on a
sensational show James.

The best!

My flamenco would
have been the rage!

And I would've done a
leap right off the stage!

They would've gone mad
for my glad pirouettes!

And I'd drive them wild
with my great castanets!

James maybe there's
still a chance

for our dancing
dreams to come true!

I agree so what d' we do? !

Luckily I have a
brilliant idea!

That worries me.

Stand back stand back!

Outta the way..
Outta the way..

artists coming through
artists coming through..

watch out...

I know those voices!

HEY! Y' can't just
bulldoze your way in here

Team Rocket!

Ash what's going on!

Who are these three? ! !

Prepare for trouble
and for dance!

I'm wearing tights
instead of pants!

To protect the world
from devastation.

To unite all peoples
within our nation.

To denounce the evils
of truth and love.

To extend our reach
to the stars above.

Jessie!

James!

Team Rocket blast off
at the speed of light.

Surrender now or
prepare to fight.

TA -DAHHH!

Come on Pikachu we know

how t' get rid o'
these three don't we!

Wait Ash!

This place is reserved
for the trainers

and Pokémon who perform
in the exhibition

and we'll be the
ones to defend it!

Well..if it's a
battle you want..

..then a battle
you shall have!

Alakazam use your
Psychic attack on 'em!

Let's give 'em
a performance!

Arbok!

Victreebel!

Get OFF..I have my
public to think about!

Come on team..they
can't scare us!

Arbok get them with
your Poison Sting!

Victreebel Swords
Dance Attack!

Use the back step
we rehearsed!

-They're cool!
-Nice moves!

Keep it up guys
you're doin' great!

Come on team! Quit
dancin' around

and attack 'em
back will ya!

Arbok use Wrap attack!
Victreebel use Wrap attack!

Belle, Bella do
the Jump Turn!

Now use Sleep Powder!

I think we've
been upstaged!

Let's make a grand exit!

We'll be back for
an encore-ee!

Thank you ladies
and gentleman

we hope you all
enjoyed the show!

That seemed more
like a performance

than a battle didn't it guys!

As long as they beat
Team Rocket who cares!

I don't know
how they did it

but they sure
deserve a big hand!

The last one's
always the best.

How'm I supposed t'
survive like this if

I keep on gettin'
deprived ? !

I guess renting
that bulldozer

didn't exactly help our
financial situation.

Come and enjoy the annual

Florando Pokémon
Talent Exhibition.

It's tomorrow.

An' I bet there'll be
tons o' talented Pokémon

for us t' swipe!

We'll go then!

And we'll grab every
Pokémon at the exhibition!

An' while we're at it we
can grab a slice a pizza!

Did ya always
train your Pokémon

t' dance instead o' battle?

No at first we
practiced dancing

as a way of cross
training for battle.

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
focussed on dancing..

and now it's our goal to become

the greatest Pokémon
dance troupe anywhere!

They really love
dancing don't they!

They sure do!

That's why we all want
to do the very best

we can at the
exhibition tomorrow.

Now that you
know about us,

we wanna hear about you!

Well I wanna learn
everything there is to know

about Water Pokémon!

Since I was a kid all
I've ever wanted was

t' be a Pokémon Breeder.

An' all I wanna
do is be

the world's greatest
Pokémon Master!

Well it sounds like we're
all big Pokémon fans!

Bailey I was wonderin'
about something..

how'd your Bellossom
beat Team Rocket

just by dancing around?

Because dancing and
battling aren't so different!

They're not..whaddya mean?

Dance steps can be just like
a fighter's footwork..

and rhythm is just as important
in battle as it is dancing!

Ya really think so? !

Come to our workout tomorrow
and we'll show you!

That'd be great.

One..two..one.. two...

Try t' step in time
with the beat Pikachu!

That's right
that's good..

now try the backflip!

Sidestep..sidestep.. then
double twirl and pose!

That was great Pikachu!

Now don't forget
those steps Pikachu

and next time you're in a
battle you can use them

to get away from your
opponent's attacks!

All set Bailey!

Ready when you are!

If everyone's in
position let's practice

the Bell Loop D Loop!

All right Belle now picture
in your mind how it's done

and try to relax OK? !

And Bella you need t'
have split- second timing

when you give
Belle the boost!

GO!

Belle!

It looks like we still
need some practice.

Please don't feel badly Belle
I know you did your best...

we can just leave
the Belle Loop D Loop

out of our routine
for tomorrow.

Ladies and Gentlemen!

I can't tell you who'll
go home the grand prize

at our annual
Pokémon Exhibition

but I can promise it'll
be a big surprise!

We guarantee an
unforgettable show

so let's meet our first
contestants..right here!

Come on Bailey!

Good luck you guys!

You can do it Bailey!

With that kind of welcome

we'll have to drag
them off stage!

TAKE IT AWAY!

I may not know how t'
dance the Flamenco

but I'm great when it
comes t' castin' nets!

-Oh no!
-Not again!

Up up and away!

What're you doing
..those are my Bellossom!

They look awfully familiar.

That's probably because
Team Rocket's familiar

and we're pretty
awful too!

Ta ta twerps!

We've gotta do
something fast!

But they're already
too high up!

Hey wait!

I choose you Heracross!

Quick Heracross..if you
use your horn t' throw

Pikachu high enough maybe
we can stop Team Rocket!

Ready t' go Pikachu?

OK Heracross..fire away!

Oh my!

Use your Thunderbolt
on that balloon!

Pikachu are you all right!

Pikachu.

Huh?

You again!

You're grounded, give
those Pokémon back!

Not without a
battle, twerp!

Arbok I choose you! !

Victreebel!

THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING!

Go get 'em Pikachu!

Arbok..Poison
Sting attack NOW!

Dance around 'em Pikachu!

Victreebel..use your
Take Down Attack!

Do like the Bellossom do!

Don't let that Pikachu
get away from you..

use Tackle Attack together!

Take a big leap Pikachu!

DON'T JUST LIE THERE!

USE YOUR WRAP ATTACK NOW!

OK now Arbok, surprise
it your with Bite Attack!

Are you all right?

You can do it!

The Belle Loop D
Loop..it was perfect!

Arbok, Return!

Pikachu use your
Thunderbolt Attack!

Belle and Bella, team up

and blow them away
with a tornado twister!

I feel like I'm
dancing on air!

Those Bellossom
turned things around!

Yeah.. this is a
real twist ending!

Looks like Team Rocket's
blasting off again!

Ya did it! . .

are they OK?

Don't worry.. they're
all just fine!

No problemo!

That's great guys!

Y' know Ash I
think you'd make

a pretty good dance trainer!

Thanks Bailey!

Do you two think you can put
on another performance

just like that at the
Pokémon Exhibition! ?

All right Bailey!

Bailey!

Go for it!

Belle... Bella

..are you ready?

Bell Loop D Loop...GO!

All right!

Perfect!

The Bellossom finally
mastered their moves

and gave the performance
of a lifetime.

But long after the
applause has ended,

Ash will remember the
lesson he's learned:

that battling isn't the
only way for Pokémon

and their trainers
to achieve success.

Let's take one last
spin around town!

Aren't we taking an
awfully roundabout route?

Is this what they mean
by a whirlwind tour!
