Believe it or not, the name of this lake is Lake May.

No kidding.

Well, then, that explains why it's so beautiful.

With a beautiful name like May.

I don't know, I guess I don't see the connection here.

Who asked you?

- Hmm, hey, look! - Huh?

ASH There's something out there, on the lake.

[HAPPY]

That looks like a new Pokémon.

[BOWING]

[PLAYFUL]

Hey, that's an Illumise and a Volbeat.

- Wow! - Let's check it out.

POKEDEX Illumise, the Firefly Pokémon.

Illumise uses Sweet Scent to lure in Volbeat

having them draw geometric patterns in the sky.

Volbeat, the Firefly Pokémon.

Volbeat uses the designs on its tail for sketching

and communicating with other Volbeat.

[PLAYFUL]

They're so cute, they're dancing together.

Looks like they're having fun.

- 'Hello, there!' - Huh?

You're all here to see the May Festival, right?

- We are! Yes! - May Festival?

It's a wonderful festival where you'll get to see

Illumise and Volbeat performing their dances.

That sounds awesome.

Well, it's almost time

for them to begin practicing.

- Just over there. - Huh?

NURSE JOY 'And those two are Illumise and Volbeat's Trainers.'

'He's Romeo and she's Juliet.'

Ah, Juliet!

But soft. What light through yonder window breaks?

- Juliet's the sun! - Ah!

- You mustn't bother them. - Chill out, Brock.

Back it up.

I'm Juliet, I pledge to make this

May Festival a smashing success.

- Alright, go for it. - 'Good luck, yeah.'

With your smashing good looks, Juliet

you're already a success!

So legend has it that anyone in love who happens to watch

Illumise and Volbeat dancing together

is soon to be blessed with super-good luck.

I'm in love!

Right then, Illumise, time to practice, dear.

[AGREEMENT]

Let's start things off with Sweet Scent.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[SWEET SCENT MOVE]

Oh, Romeo.

Be a love and release more Volbeat.

Um, right.

- Oh! - Oh, dear.

- Dropped them again? - Sorry. I'll tidy up.

How did that loser get partnered with Juliet?

That's just wrong.

He doesn't look very dependable, does he?

Hang tough, Romeo!

[ENCOURAGING]

Hey, thanks, mate.

Alright, Volbeat. Everyone out.

[EMERGING]

It's show time, Volbeat.

[CONFIRMING]

Right!

[READY]

[ADORING]

ILLUMISE/VOLBEAT [FLEEING]/[CHASING]

- They're too close to Illumise. - Uh-huh.

Please direct your Volbeat like you're supposed to.

Right.

Straight away, Volbeat, now do what I..

'Oh!'

Oh, no!

[CONFUSED]/[DIVING]

VOLBEAT/ILLUMISE [EAGER]/[STARTLED]

ILLUMISE/VOLBEAT [PAINED]/[CONFUSED]

- Help! - My Illumise!

[SCREAMING]

Oh, no, I don't think that was supposed to be part of the act.

[WORRIED]

Juliet!

[GASPING]

Illumise! Where are you, Illumise?

- Illumise! - Oh.

[grunts]

[screams]

Somebody help me!

I'm drowning. I can't swim!

Come on, you guys, you've gotta help Romeo

and all of those Pokémon.

- Right. - Don't worry about a thing.

Corphish, I choose you.

[EMERGING]

Alright, Lotad, Mudkip, let's go!

[EMERGING]

[EMERGING]

- Ready, Brock? - Yeah!

[grunts]

[span tts:fontStyle="italic"][thinking] [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] Illumise, where are you?

Someone, help me!

I can't swim. I'm drowning.

[gasping]

- Oh! - Oh, thank goodness.

- Romeo, help! - Juliet.

Don't worry, we'll help you guys.

Mudkip, you look for Illumise

and Lotad, help out those Volbeat, go.

[AFFIRMATIVE]/[SWIMMING]

Corphish, let's go and help out those Volbeat too.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[NOTICING]

LOTAD/VOLBEAT [SWIMMING]/[THOUGHTFUL]

CORPHISH [STRUGGLING]

Here, Juliet, I brought a towel for you.

Great, I could use this. Thank you.

- But, Illumise.. - Huh?

[WAKING]/[SURPRISED]

Oh, look, it's waking up.

Illumise!

[HAPPY]

Thank goodness.

Juliet, I think Illumise should have a check-up

at the Pokémon Center, okay?

Yes, of course, Nurse Joy.

Romeo, it'd be a good idea for you

to bring by those Volbeat too.

Uh, alright.

Thanks for saving me.

No sweat. Hi, I'm Ash, from Palette Town.

[GREETING]

Hello, my name's May.

- And I'm Max. - Hey, my name's Brock.

The four of us are traveling together with our Pokémon.

We're on our way to the Hoenn League.

[FRIENDLY]

I sure wish I were as energetic as you.

You have so much passion.

I don't!

Yipes! Ugh!

See? No energy!

[LOOKING]

No energy?

Looks like he's got tons of it.

Or he's crazy.

[UNSURE]

Pull me out of here, I'm going to catch a cold!

- I'm drowning again! - Uh-oh.

I hope that Volbeat Trainer's alright.

And what's it to you how that whining wacko feels?

I want to see Illumise and those Volbeat

do their Light Dance and bring me luck.

And perhaps, bring me Prince Charming too.

But it's only good luck for those people in love already.

And who says I'm not already in love with my Prince Charming?

[span tts:fontStyle="italic"]He's on his way here [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] to sweep me off my feet

[span tts:fontStyle="italic"]so we can live [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] happily ever after.

- That's nice. - That's nice.

Wait, hold on, I say we get busy and catch

those Illumise and Volbeat and give 'em to the Boss.

Why would we wanna do that?

[span tts:fontStyle="italic"]MEOWTH [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] Imagine the [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] Boss sitting there

[span tts:fontStyle="italic"]burdened by all the hard work [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] of being the Boss.

- [span tts:fontStyle="italic"]Go on. [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] - Go on.

[span tts:fontStyle="italic"]MEOWTH [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] With the help [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] of those Volbeat

[span tts:fontStyle="italic"]we'll put on a [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] dancing show

[span tts:fontStyle="italic"]that'll knock the Boss' [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] socks off.

[span tts:fontStyle="italic"]And you know [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] what the Boss'll say, right?

[span tts:fontStyle="italic"][Meowth imitating Boss] [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] "Why, this entertainment [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] is first rate.

[span tts:fontStyle="italic"]It's time I rewarded Meowth [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] and his pals."

- [span tts:fontStyle="italic"]Rewards! [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] - Rewards!

We're talking expense accounts galore

and lots of money!

Catching that Illumise and those Volbeat

will be our express to success.

- Yes! - Yes!

[ENTHUSIASTIC]

Here, Romeo. Your Volbeat will be just fine.

Thank you, thank you.

[sighs]

Romeo, hey. Cheer up.

[ENCOURAGING]

I know, but the way my luck has been running

we're going to mess up in this festival and royally.

- We could help you practice. - That's right.

We're all dying to see your Light Dance.

Good enough.

No sense in being a wet blanket, right?

Without Illumise we can't really have a proper rehearsal

but here goes.

Right then, Volbeat, go.

[EMERGING]

[HAPPY]

Heads up, lads.

Fly in formation.

[HAPPY]

Somersault!

[SOARING]

Awesome!

[IMPRESSED]

Talk about an improvement.

So what's different?

Very good, Beat.

[FLYING]

Well, if you can pull that off

during the May Festival

there'll be nothing to worry about.

Yeah, Romeo. You're gonna be great.

Thanks, Ash, everything is always aces

when I practice alone, but when I try it out with Juliet

'we both fall flat on our faces.'

- Who's we? - Beat, my leading Volbeat.

Whenever it gets near Illumise, Beat gets out of sorts.

[AGREEMENT]

So, you mean, Beat gets so nervous that you guys

can't perform as well as in the rehearsal?

Well, that's really weird.

I don't think I've ever been nervous in my life.

[THINKING]

And how do you feel when you're with Juliet, Romeo?

I guess first of all, I get this tight feeling in my chest.

And then my heart starts beating fast.

My hands will get all sweaty.

[span tts:fontStyle="italic"]And before you know it [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] [span tts:fontStyle="italic"] I get all goofy and clumsy.

Shaking like a leaf and unable to speak!

Then, I'm completely hopeless.

[SAD]

Romeo, you sound sick.

I think maybe you should get to a hospital right now.

He's sick alright. No doubt about that.

Problem is, there's no hospital in the world that can cure him.

Huh? Why not?

- He's lovesick. - "Lovesick?"

[CONFUSED]

So, Romeo, you do like Juliet, don't you?

- Huh? - Yes, I do!

So much I can't take it!

Heh, Brock, not talking to you. Go!

- 'Right.' - I'm right, aren't I, Romeo?

I don't know.

See, Juliet and I, uh

we've been mates since we were kids.

- So, no. - Yes.

Even old friends can fall in love, you know.

- Yeah? Straight on? - Sure.

And I'll bet Beat is in love with Illumise.

[BASHFUL]

So we're in love?

Great. Just great.

Now, what am I supposed to do?

Now, don't you worry.

I know just the thing.

[giggles]

There's nothing like finding young love.

Check out May. She's really getting into all this.

Of course. She lives for this kinda stuff.

I've got an idea, Ash.

But first, can I ask you a favor?

Yeah, I guess.

[UNSURE]

Um, Juliet?

Well, there's something I need to tell you.

You see, it's just..

I, I really--

Like you.

I don't think I can say it.

It's easy. Don't be afraid.

Once you tell her how you feel, she'll understand

and then all that pressure will be off.

But what if she says she doesn't like me?

Well, then, I guess you're sunk.

- Hey, that's no good. - 'Would you guys step on it?'

I'm sick of waiting here like this. Got it?

Hey, you wanna see Illumise and Volbeat's

Light Dance too, Ash, don't you?

Yes, of course I wanna see it, May.

Well, then you have to help us out.

But you'd make a much better Juliet than I do.

Of course, but I am the coach.

- Uh, fine. - Good.

Now, let's try this one more time.

But why? I just can't bring myself to say it.

BROCK 'Would you like the master to show you how it's done?'

- Huh? - My friend.

Truth is, I love Juliet every bit as much as you do.

Man to man.

No hard feelings, because we're rivals, okay?

Uh, okay.

This just seems to keep gettin' better and better.

My Juliet, your beauty out-beautifies even these roses!

Hark, your love has pierced my heart as a thorn would.

Dear, Juliet, take my heart!

Heal me with your love!

Game over! I am out of here!

- Come back, my Juliet! - Aah!

You've really lost it this time, Brock!

- Leave me alone! - My sweet!

Well, if this doesn't take the cake, I don't know what does.

[EXASPERATED]

[groans]

I don't understand it. What's happened to Romeo?

[GLOOMY]

He was so much less clumsy

and awkward when he was younger.

[ASKING]

You know, we used to have so much fun together.

- Hey, Romeo? - Yeah?

When you and I get to be grown ups and all

do you think you'd want to marry me?

Sure! Why not?

- Promise? - Oh!

[laughs]

So much for that promise.

I'm lucky if I can get him to even say, "Hi."

[SAD]/[NOTICING]

Huh?

That looks like a Volbeat's light, huh?

[THOUGHTFUL]

JESSIE Are you ready down there, Meowth?

JAMES Let's get that Volbeat mating dance up and dancing.

MEOWTH Youse got it!

♪ Step right up Illumise baby ♪

♪ Take a chance I don't mean maybe ♪♪

Is that Romeo's Volbeat?

[WONDERING]

Maybe they're coming over to practice with us.

[HOPEFUL]/[GLEEFUL]

[CURIOUS]

Too late, I'm spoken for.

[ALARMED]

Whee!

[SCARED]

Illumise?

Well, look what I found surfing the net.

Alright, Meowth! You're like a real Volbeat!

All part of the job.

Huh?

Where are they going now?

Illumise!

- Illumise! - Juliet.

Guess what? I think I like you.

No, Romeo, no!

- Speak up, like this! - I can't.

You say you like Juliet, right?

- Mm-hmm. - Then you've got to tell her.

Romeo..

I like you, Juliet!

I really do! Whoa!

- It's the real Juliet! - Juliet?

I just saw a Volbeat down by the lake

and was wondering if it was yours.

- Not mine. - Well, now I'm scared.

Illumise thought it was your Volbeat too, then disappeared.

- Uh! - Disappeared?

Juliet, fear not.

I shall get Illumise back, this I vow!

Really, Brock? Do you have any clues?

- Nope! - Perfect.

Hold on. My Volbeat will be able to find Illumise.

All they need to do is follow Illumise's scent.

Awesome! That's a great idea.

- It might work. - Alright.

- Thanks, Romeo. - Hmm.

Let's go, Beat.

[SNIFFING]

[ALERT]/[NOTICING]

[CHASING]

Hey, it looks like the Volbeat have possibly caught its scent.

- Great. Let's go. - Hmm.

- Up there, huh? - That's a really steep cliff.

Alright, then, I'm climbing up

but the rest of you should walk around.

- But.. - Great!

Then I'll take care of Juliet.

I'm going with you, Romeo.

[EAGER]

- Alright, let's go, Ash. - Yeah.

[grunts]

Romeo. Hmm.

[ALERT]/[SURPRISED]

- What is it, Beat? - Ah!

Who are you?

[laughing]

JESSIE 'Prepare for trouble, don't we look divine?'

JAMES 'And make it double, looking good, feeling fine.'

To protect the world from devastation.

To unite all peoples within our nation.

To walk the line towards the Sweet Scent of success.

To light up your world with my Volbeat-ness.

- Jessie. - James.

Team Rocket blasts off at the scented speed of light.

Surrender now, or prepare yourselves

for a sweet scented fight.

That's right!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Team Rocket!

[ANGRY]

You've sniffed right into our trap.

You see, 'twas us sending out the Sweet Scent.

[SCARED]

Illumise!

[WORRIED]

Now, time for the best part.

MEOWTH 'Volbeat, come on down.'

[SCREAMING]

Hold on to each other real tight!

[STRAINING]

[SCREAMING]

- Ah! - My Volbeat!

Now, time to power up.

[SCREAMING]

Pikachu! Ah!

- Oh, no! - Ash!

[STRUGGLING]

Romeo, you've gotta save Illumise.

Straight away, Ash.

Use Quick Attack on that cage, Beat!

[QUICK MOVE]

[SURPRISED]

ILLUMISE/VOLBEAT [TOUCHED]/[BASHFUL]

Drat! Illumise's free.

Meowth, make sure we catch Pikachu!

Maximum suction, go!

[screaming]

- No, Ash! - Pikachu!

- Next up.. - The last stragglers.

Come on in.

[SCARED]

Turn this off.

Pikachu, Thunderbolt, now!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Stop spinning.

[groaning]

You're going nowhere.

Seviper, catch them again!

[EMERGING]/[THREATENING]

Hey, look out!

They're gonna get the Volbeat again.

Illumise, use your Sweet Scent to lure them in.

[SWEET SCENT MOVE]

[CURIOUS]/[ADORING]

[ATTACK]

ILLUMISE/VOLBEAT [SWEET SCENT MOVE]/[ADORING]

Awesome! The Volbeat all gathered to the Sweet Scent.

Ah, what a nice fragrance.

Delightful.

Perhaps you could chat about it later?

Seviper, go get those Volbeat, now.

[AFFIRMATIVE]/[AGGRESSIVE]

Volbeat, all together, use Signal Beam.

[SIGNAL BEAM MOVE]

[REELING]

[screaming]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Team Rocket's blasting off again!

BROCK/MAX/MAY/ASH We did it!

PIKACHU/ILLUMISE [PLEASED]/[GRATEFUL]

BROCK/MAX/MAY/ASH Huh?

[SMOOCHING]/[SURPRISED]

[BASHFUL]

[HAPPY]

Juliet, listen.

- Huh? - I like you.

- So sudden? - Huh?

Juliet, I like you, too.

And at least I brought you flowers.

Brock, I'm sorry.

You see, I like someone else.

[screams]

You promised we'd get married when we grew up.

- So then.. - Huh?

Gonna keep your promise?

S-sure. Why not?

All's well that ends well.

This is great. I just love happy endings.

Hmm.

Well, happy for most of us.

[HAPPY]

Volbeat, fly in formation.

Follow, Illumise.

[HAPPY]

[EXERTION]

ASH Wow! Romeo's so much more confident now!

Like a different person from yesterday.

Yeah.

All thanks to the power of love.

"Power of love?"

You'll understand when you're older, Ash.

Oh, boy.
