{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} finally make it out of the haunted forest from the [[EP121|previous episode]] and arrive in [[Florando]]. While {{an|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 {{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.

As they enter the city, a local girl hands them a pamphlet advertising Florando's annual [[Pokémon Exhibition]], an outdoor performance festival. Excited, the trio makes their way to a giant square where the exhibition is held, and are particularly interested by a pair of acrobatic and dancing {{p|Bellossom}}. One of the Bellossom is asked to do a trick, but it fails to complete it 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 says he is and hands 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.

As usual, {{TRT}} is up to no good when they enter the exhibition, in the hope of making money. They quickly set up a stage and pin their hopes on {{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]] is frustrated, she then 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. Jessie says that she and James could have done better with a dancing routine, but their enthusiasm worries Meowth.

Jessie says that she and James could have done better with a dancing routine, but their enthusiasm worries Meowth.


On board a bulldozer, Team Rocket rumble their way through Florando's streets. Ash enters the vehicle's path, and Team Rocket performs 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 has them dodge the attacks 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 {{pkmn|battle}} and give Bailey a round of applause. Later, Team Rocket eat meatballs in a dark alley and are sad that their schemes have put them into debt. The wind sends a flyer advertising the Florando Exhibition their way, and the trio soon set their sights on stealing all the performing Pokémon.

The Florando Exhibition day has arrived, with Team Rocket posing as the show's announcers, while the actual ones are tied up and held backstage. They bring on all the contestants and their Pokémon to the stage, and then Meowth drops a net from above and steals the performing Pokémon. Team Rocket starts to leave in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth Balloon]], but Ash has {{AP|Heracross}} throw Pikachu into the air. Pikachu soars past Jessie, James and Meowth, and grabs a hold of the balloon before unleashing {{m|Thunderbolt}} and popping it. Ash, his friends and Bailey rush to the balloon crashsite nearby, but Jessie and James are unfazed and call for a battle. Team Rocket send out Victreebel, who latches onto James's head, and Arbok. Thanks to Bailey's training, Pikachu is able to dodge Arbok's {{m|Poison Sting}} and Victreebel's {{m|Take Down}} with ease. As the two approach to {{m|Tackle}}, Pikachu jumps up causing Arbok and Victreebel to collide into each other. At James's insistence, Victreebel uses {{m|Wrap}} and grabs Pikachu's feet, and Arbok approaches with {{m|Bite}}. Bailey is able to free Belle and Bella, and tells them to use their special move. Luckily, their move is a success and the Bellossom successfully hit Arbok out the way. Jessie has Arbok return, and Pikachu lands a direct Thunderbolt on Victreebel. Next, Bellossom use their 'Tornado Twister' dance move, which sends Team Rocket blasting off. The other performers are reunited with their Pokémon, and the Florando performances goes on.

Blurb

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 make it out of a forest and arrive in Florando. As they enter the city, a local girl hands them a pamphlet advertising Florando's annual Pokémon Exhibition, an outdoor performance festival. Excited, the trio makes their way to a giant square where the exhibition is held, and are particularly interested by a pair of acrobatic and dancing Bellossom. One of the Bellossom is asked to do a trick, but it fails to complete it 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 says he is and hands 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. After Ash and his friends thank her for the show, Ash asks Bailey if they are going to perform the same trick tomorrow at the show. Bailey says it was their intent, but reveals that Bella is having trouble performing her special move.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket enters the exhibition with the hopes of making money. They quickly set up a stage and use Meowth's rare gift of speech to attract a crowd. People start to gather around, but Meowth gets stage fright and disappoints the audience. A frustrated Jessie gives Meowth some jokes to tell and orders him to make the people laugh. Meowth does so, surprising the crowd, but all of the jokes are terrible and the crowd starts booing and leaving. Jessie tries telling them it is not a free show, but the crowd refuses to pay out of disappointment from Meowth's performance. James whispers a joke to Meowth in desperation and Meowth tells it, but he messes it up, and the last of the onlookers leave. Jessie says that she and James could have done better with a dancing routine, but their enthusiasm worries Meowth.

Later, Team Rocket commandeers a bulldozer and drives through Florando's streets, performing their motto. Ash is about to blast them off using Pikachu, but Bailey and the other performers want to do it themselves; Team Rocket accepts their challenge. A performer uses his Alakazam's Psychic to knock them off their feet. Jessie and James quickly stand up and send out Arbok and Victreebel. Bailey uses her two Bellossom and has them dodge the attacks using their dancing moves before spraying Team Rocket with Sleep Powder, forcing the trio to quickly leave. The crowd mistakes the events for a performance battle and gives Bailey a round of applause. Later, as Team Rocket mopes about their latest defeat, they find a flyer advertising the Florando Exhibition, and the trio decides to steal all of the performing Pokémon.

Meanwhile, at Bailey's van, her Bellossom play with Pikachu and Togepi while Ash and his friends talk things over with Bailey, who says that her dream is to be the best performer ever. Ash wants to know how her Bellossom were able to dodge Team Rocket's attacks, and Bailey says that dancing is similar to battling because of the movement of the Pokémon's feet.

The Florando Exhibition begins, with Team Rocket posing as the show's announcers, with the real ones tied up and held backstage. They bring all of the contestants and their Pokémon onstage, where Meowth drops a net from above and steals the performing Pokémon. Team Rocket starts to leave in their Meowth balloon, but Ash has Heracross throw Pikachu into the air. Pikachu soars past the trio, grabs the balloon, and uses Thunderbolt to pop it. Ash, his friends, and Bailey rush to the crash-site nearby, but Jessie and James are unfazed and call for a battle. Team Rocket sends out Victreebel, who latches onto James's head, and Arbok.

Thanks to Bailey's training, Pikachu is able to dodge Arbok's Poison Sting and Victreebel's Take Down with ease. As the two try to use Tackle, Pikachu jumps up, causing Arbok and Victreebel to collide into each other. At James's insistence, Victreebel uses Wrap to grab Pikachu's feet, and Arbok tries to use Bite. However, Bailey is able to free Belle and Bella during the chaos, and tells them to use their special move. Their move is a success and the Bellossom successfully hit Arbok out of the way.
