As Ash, Misty, and Brock enter the city, a local girl hands them a pamphlet advertising Florando's annual [[Pokémon Exhibition]], an outdoor performance festival. Excited, the trio make their way to a giant square where many of the Pokémon shows are happening, but it is a pair of acrobatic and dancing {{p|Bellossom}} that catches their eye. One of the Bellossom is asked to do a "Bell-oop-de-loop". However, it fails to complete the trick and lands in Ash's arms, knocking him to the ground. The girl commanding the Bellossom rushes over to Ash, asking him if he is alright. He tells her that he is fine and made a lucky catch, before handing Bellossom back to her.


Continuing on, they start seeing all types of Pokémon shows with different types of Pokémon. As they are watching the shows, they notice some {{p|Bellossom}} jumping up and down. Misty suggests that they should head over and get a better look. Ash and his friends watch the two Bellossom perform and do amazing acrobatic dances. One of the Bellossom is asked to do a "Bell-oop-de-loop". However, the Bellossom fails to complete the move and quickly land in Ash's arms and he falls to the ground.

Ash and his friends thank her for giving them a good show. The girl introduces her self as [[Bailey]], and her two Bellossom as Bella and Belle. Ash and his friends also introduce themselves, but Brock says, "Who cares about the Pokémon?" and starts flirting with Bailey. Misty angrily grabs Brock and asks him what he meant about not caring about Pokémon. Ash asks Bailey if they were going to perform the same trick tomorrow at the show. Bailey says that this was their intent, but Bella is having trouble performing her special move.

As usual, {{TRT}} is up to no good when they enter the exhibition. They are planning to enter the show to make money. They use {{MTR}}'s rare gift of speech to attract a crowd. People start to gather around but Meowth gets stage fright and disappoints the audience. [[Jessie]] angrily ask what Meowth's problem is. She quickly gives Meowth some jokes to tell and orders him to make the people laugh. Meowth goes and starts telling the jokes, and the crowd is surprised to see a Meowth talking. However, all of the jokes are terrible and the crowd starts booing and leaving. Jessie quickly tells them it's not a free show, but the crowd refuses to pay because they don't see anything funny about Meowth's performance. [[James]] tells them not to leave because Meowth is just warming up. James whispers a joke to Meowth and Meowth tells it. However, Meowth messes it up, and the crowd leaves. James and Meowth start arguing with each other. Jessie says that she and James could have done better with a dancing routine, which they take to heart. Ash says that it's a good idea, and Bailey ask them who they were, and Team Rocket does their motto. Ash is about to blast them away using {{AP|Pikachu}}, but Bailey and the other performers want to do it themselves. Team Rocket accepts a battle from them. A performer uses his {{p|Alakazam}}'s {{m|Psychic}} attack to knock them off their feet. Jessie and James quickly stand up and make {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}} attack. Bailey uses her two Bellossom and tells them to dodge the attack by using their dancing moves, which ends up being a successful strategy. The Bellossom then use {{m|Sleep Powder}}, making Team Rocket quickly leave. The crowd like the performance battle that Bailey did and they give her a round of applause. Ash and his friends also enjoy the performance and say that they deserve a hand.

Our heroes must help prepare an insecure Bellossom dance troupe for their upcoming exhibition—a chore that's further complicated when Team Rocket attempts to steal the show with their raucous act.

Plot

Ash and his friends finally make it out of the haunted forest from the previous episode and arrive in Florando. While Misty suggest that they should do some sightseeing, Brock is excited to meet all the beautiful girls. As Ash, Misty, and Brock enter the city, a local girl hands them a pamphlet advertising Florando's annual Pokémon Exhibition, an outdoor performance festival. Excited, the trio make their way to a giant square where many of the Pokémon shows are happening, but it is a pair of acrobatic and dancing Bellossom that catches their eye. One of the Bellossom is asked to do a "Bell-oop-de-loop". However, it fails to complete the trick and lands in Ash's arms, knocking him to the ground. The girl commanding the Bellossom rushes over to Ash, asking him if he is alright. He tells her that he is fine and made a lucky catch, before handing Bellossom back to her.

Over some drinks, the girl introduces herself as Bailey and her two Bellossom as Bella and Belle, and thanks Ash for catching her Bellossom. Ash and his friends thank her for giving them a good show. Ash asks Bailey if they were going to perform the same trick tomorrow at the show. Bailey says that this was their intent, but Bella is having trouble performing her special move.
