JESSIE: So this is the stage? I'll just show off
my giga-gorgeousness and win this time for sure!

is ahead of time!

it's an Ekans with a Mamoswine jammed into its mouth
JAMES: To my eye, it looks like a UFO.
JESSIE: So it's a performance from another planet?!
JESSIE: Wait! Maybe this is some kind of Pokémon hat!
MEOWTH: You may be right! I'll bet they're gonna test
your fashion sense!
