==Synopsis==
As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} walk through a village, both Ash and {{an|Dawn}} complain of hunger. As they look for a place to have lunch, Ash spots a {{p|Marill}} stuck between two buildings. {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} struggle to pull it out, but Marill eventually uses {{m|Water Gun}} to force itself out. {{an|Brock}} checks it as Dawn scans with her [[Pokédex]]. A girl runs up and claims the Marill as hers, recalling it to its [[Poké Ball]]. She introduces herself as {{an|Lyra}} as Ash and his friends make their introductions. Lyra notices Dawn's Piplup and scans it with her own Pokédex. She reveals that her Pokédex is a brand-new [[Johto]] model, the same region she is from, and that the [[Johto Festival]] is commencing. She calls Dawn {{tt|Dane|Hikarin}} before they set off.

At the center of the village, the festival is in full gear as a phone rings. Lyra pulls out a new type of [[Pokégear]] that Ash doesn't recognize and answers it, talking to her friend [[Khoury]]. She talks about the festival, how it travels throughout other regions to promote Johto. A recording of Lyra hosting a documentary appears on the screen, the documentary talking about Johto's features, touching on [[Ecruteak City]], its [[Burned Tower]] and the [[Kimono Girl]]s, bringing back Ash's memories (and Brock's of the girls) of his previous travels throughout the Johto [[region]]. The presentation continues with [[Goldenrod City]], the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] in [[Olivine City]] and its [[Amphy|Ampharos]]. It rounds up with Johto's final [[Gym Leader]] in [[Blackthorn City]], {{type2|Dragon}} specialist [[Clair]] of [[Blackthorn Gym]]. The presentaion ends with Lyra hoping that the viewer visits the land of Johto soon. Lyra leads them to a [[Drink|MooMoo Milk]] stand that her friend Khoury runs. Dawn notices a {{p|Totodile}} behind the counter and scans it. Piplup and Pikachu try to meet, but Totodile doesn't respond to the friend request, about as well as with its [[Pokémon food]] that Khoury made. Brock samples it and says that it is too sweet, asking for [[Chesto Berry|Chesto Berries]]. Brock grinds up some berries into powder with a {{wp|mortar and pestle}}, then adds it to the food, which makes it more appealing to Totodile and allows it to chow down. As Brock offers to give him a recipe, [[Khoury's father]] offers the group soft serve ice cream made from MooMoo Milk, which they love. Lyra introduces the group to Khoury, a [[Pokémon breeder]], and his father, the man responsible for running the festival. Ash and Lyra share their experiences throughout [[Sinnoh]] and Johto [[gym]]s respectively, Ash with seven [[badge]]s and Lyra with the first two. Dawn mentions that she is a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}, the first one Lyra has met in person, as Khoury's Totodile jumps on his shoulder, hinting that the exhibition of the Johto {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is about to start.

While [[Team Rocket]] chows down on food, Lyra starts the exhibition. She discusses the three Johto [[starter Pokémon]] on the screen before bringing out her {{p|Chikorita}}. Lyra calls Dawn up to the field to {{pkmn|battle}} Chikorita with Piplup. The crowd applauds as she accepts, stepping up to the platform. Lyra reveals that if Dawn wins, Lyra will give her a prize. Piplup jumps to battle, even though Chikorita has a [[Elemental type|type]] [[Damage modification|advantage]]. Khoruy's father starts the battle as Chikorita hits with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Piplup rebounds and fires {{m|BubbleBeam}}, but a {{m|Light Screen}} blocks it. Piplup charges with {{m|Peck}} and hits before following up with another BubbleBeam. Another Light Screen blocks it, but it is clearly weaker. Another Peck attack breaks the shield and [[fainting|knocks out]] Chikorita, giving Dawn the win. Khoury was impressed by the strategy as Lyra recalls Chikorita.  Lyra presents Dawn with a wrapped box, her prize.  Dawn opens it and finds a [[Pokémon egg]] in an egg case.  As they wonder what is inside the egg, Team Rocket suddenly appears in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]], packed up with food from the festival. {{MTR}} steals Dawn's egg with a mecha arm. They proceed to escape, but they run into a tree and puncture their balloon, sending them crashing away from the village in the forest. Ash and his friends pursue, and Lyra does too, but she has to convince Khoury to go too. 

At the crash site, [[Jessie]] eats almost all the food (causing her belly to become swollen, in true anime fashion) as they turn to the egg. [[James]] theorizes that it holds a [[Legendary Pokémon]], each one coming up with an idea. A {{p|Teddiursa}} sneaks up and starts eating their food.  Jessie scolds it and makes it cry, causing its parent {{p|Ursaring}} to attack them with {{m|Hyper Beam}}.  Team Rocket runs away with the Ursaring in hot pursuit.

Ash and his friends find the deserted crash site as Lyra tries to motivate Khoury to be more brave. The guys and the girls split off to search as Ash sends {{AP|Staraptor}} to scout. Meanwhile, Team Rocket continues to run. Jessie trips and loses the egg. James and Meowth go after it while Jessie flees from Ursaring. Meowth and James reclaim it and try to meet up with Jessie. Ash and the guys spot James and follow. As James walks, he notices the egg flashing, indicating it is close to hatching. Staraptor has also spotted James, and Khoury phones Lyra to coordinate a meet.  Using Marill and Totodile's Water Gun attacks, they are able to pursue James. When the guys catch up with James, the girls cut him off. Surrounded, James sends out {{TP|James|Carnivine}}. Khoury proceeds to check Carnivine with his Pokédex at a bad moment. Carnivine fires {{m|Bullet Seed}} to suppress the guys, but Totodile sneaks up and takes the egg back. Pikachu and Piplup attack with BubbleBeam and {{m|Thunderbolt}} before a twin Water Gun attack from Marill and Totodile sends James and Meowth off. Dawn reclaims her egg and notes it is close to hatching. 

James and Meowth land and meet up with Jessie (whose stomach has instantly reverted to normal, also in true anime fashion), when they are then surrounded by many Ursaring. Back at the village, Lyra convinces Khoury's father to allow her to go attend the upcoming Contest, while Khoury wants to learn from Brock.  He agrees to let Lyra and Khoury go with Ash and his friends for a while. Dawn's egg fully glows as she brings it out of the case, revealing her new {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}.  Dawn picks up Cyndaquil, as it shows affection by lighting its back fire, torching Dawn's hair.  Everyone laughs as they decide to travel together.

==Trivia== 
[[File:HGSS Clair Dragonair anime.png|thumb|220px|Clair in her new clothes]]
* This is the first episode of the five-part 'Lyra and Khoury' mini-arc.
*[[Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture]] takes a seven episode hiatus beginning with this episode.
* Lyra's Johto introduction showed Clair in her [[Generation IV]] outfit.
* This is the first time that a main character receives an egg in which it hatches in the same episode.
* The episode shows many of the new [[List of key items in Generation IV|key items]] within {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. At their stall, Khoury and his father are selling items such as [[Apricorn]]s, {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Apricorn Box}}es, {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Berry Pots}}, [[Rage Candy Bar]]s, and [[Apriblender]]s.
* Much like how [[Marilyn]] from ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'' called {{an|Dawn|Hikari}} ''Hikarin'', {{an|Lyra|Kotone}} also calls Hikari this.
** Lyra calls Dawn "Dane" in the dub, unlike how Marilyn calls Dawn "Dawny".
* The move {{m|Water Gun}} receives a new digital effect in this episode. 
* In this episode, [[Team Rocket]] uses a [[Team Rocket mottos#An Egg Scramble! motto|variation]] of their motto.
* Coincidently, this episode shares its dub title (minus the exclamation point) with that of a {{wp|Merrie Melodies|Merry Melodies}} {{wp|List of cartoons featuring Porky Pig#1950|short}} starring {{wp|Porky Pig}}. 
* The three Pokémon that Team Rocket said could be in the egg are the stars of the [[M02|second]], [[M03|third]], and [[M04|fourth]] movies.
* Music from ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' is used.

===Errors===
* When Team Rocket is eating the stolen food at their balloon, their voices are left undubbed.
===Dub edits===
<!--when team rocket run you can hear piplup's voice even though it wasn't there-->
