<i>As the Twinleaf Festival winds down, our heroes encounter a Natu and a Xatu, who provide them with a mysterious and puzzling adventure they’ll never forget!
 
Coming to the close of the Twinleaf Festival, our heroes are enjoying some of the many treats it offers when they run into their old friend Barry, who challenges Ash to a battle right away. But Barry suddenly notices a Xatu overhead and takes off, with Ash and Misty following.


Dawn is standing along a river, calling for Ash and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. She sees a Natu hop by and looks it up on her [[Pokédex]].  She wants to battle it but her [[Poké Ball]]s are not working.
Soon everyone (minus a very bored Brock, who has volunteered to man one of the booths to cover for a sick attendant) comes across a strange circus tent, and they’re all invited inside. Suddenly, a blinding light causes Ash and his friends to lose consciousness. Upon awakening, they realize they’ve become separated from one another, and they’re surrounded by seemingly gigantic Pokémon!


Barry is sitting on the edge of a cliff, watching groups of {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Sandslash}} and {{p|Dodrio}} graze.He spots a Natu and follows it.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is manning the Goldeen Scoop Game booth at the festival, and a stranger threatens to win every Goldeen in stock! But James comes to the rescue, as his younger years’ training in the Goldeen Scoop Game allows him to defeat the stranger and keep the Goldeen for other customers.


Brock is trying to run his booth and lets out his Pokémon to help him. He begins to play the games, but no one approaches.
When our heroes are finally reunited, they begin to think that the mysterious Natu might hold some answers to their strange experiences of late. After defeating a gigantic Camerupt, they all find themselves back to normal size. They run into Barry’s dad, Palmer, who attempts to explain some of the mysteries of the past, present, and future, although Barry is more confused than ever. We leave our heroes as they ponder the fascinating things Palmer has told them!</i>


[[Team Rocket]] is watching people play their {{p|Goldeen}} scoop game, but no one can catch one on their net.  [[Jessie]] gets mad when one of the kids say the game is rigged but [[James]] stops her from doing anything. Then a [[Goldeen Scoop Master|man]] walks up and grabs one of the nets. James decides to challenge the man to a game of who can scoop the most Goldeen.
==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Dawn}} are walking with [[Johanna]] and enjoying the [[Twinleaf Festival]] when {{an|Barry}} runs into Ash. Barry says he is entering the [[Festival Battle Challenge]], so he challenges Ash to a practice {{pkmn|battle}}. As the two run off to have their battle, Johanna tells Dawn to go with them, and she runs off after them. Then [[Sayer]] shows up and tells Johanna that one of their booth salespeople have gotten ill, and that they are one salesperson short. To help solve the problem, Brock offers to run the stand for him.


Barry has a flashback of rubbing some [[honey]] on a tree when he was younger.  He squats in a patch of grass and waits until a Pokémon walks up, which is a {{p|Heracross}}. The flashback ends and Barry sees a jar of honey. He goes up and spreads some on a tree and his Heracross flies up.  He begins to eat the honey and Barry begins to freak out.Then he saw the same Natu he same a little while ago and he follows it.
Later, Barry's {{p|Heracross}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are battling. Pikachu starts with a {{m|Quick Attack}}, but Heracross block it and lands a strike of its own using {{m|Megahorn}}. As the battle continues Barry is shocked as he notices a {{p|Xatu}} flying over. Dawn looks it up on her [[Pokédex]] and Barry runs off following it with Ash and Dawn in pursuit. As they catch up, they see a big tent up ahead with a {{p|Grumpig}}, a {{p|Mr. Mime}}, a {{p|Seel}} and an {{p|Alakazam}} outside doing circus tricks and the Xatu they've followed is perched on the rooftop. Barry tells Ash and Dawn that the tent used to be a part of the festival. A clown approaches and invites them inside the tent which he says "it connects the past, present and the future".


Ash is walking through the forest and sees a {{p|Spearow}} fly up, which is taken out by Pikachu, who is also larger than normal. A group of Spearow fly up and Ash gets onto Pikachu. He once again spots the Natu from before and follows it.
After a bright flash of light, Ash wakes up alone in a field of tall grass. He stands up and sees a particularly large pair of {{p|Nidoking}} and a {{p|Nidoqueen}}, and he continues to see several other large Pokémon. Then a pack of {{p|Mightyena}} appear, which sends Ash running to safety and diving into a hole. As he gets back out a {{p|Natu}} runs by and Ash tries to follow it. Meanwhile, Dawn fins herself standing along a riverbank, calling for Ash, Barry and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Like Ash, Dawn sees several large Pokémon including a {{p|Fearow}} flying overhead, a {{p|Magikarp}} and a {{p|Feebas}} jump out of the water. They are all bigger than usual. She sees a Natu hop by and looks it up on her Pokédex. She wants to send her Pokémon out but her {{i|Poké Ball}}s are not working. Elsewhere, Barry is sitting on the edge of a cliff, watching groups of over-sized {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Sandslash}} and {{p|Dodrio}} graze. He then spots a Natu and follows it.


The scene returns to James and the Goldeen Scoop Master. Both were at the last goldeen but the scoop master's net ripped and James won the challenge. They then offered more plays to everyone.
Brock is trying to run his Hit-the-{{p|Camerupt}} booth and lets out his Pokémon to help him. Despite his upbeat manner, no one approaches. {{TRT}} is watching people play their {{p|Goldeen}} scoop game, but no one can catch one on their net. [[Jessie]] gets mad when one of the kids say the game is rigged but [[James]] stops her from doing anything. Then a man walks up and grabs one of the nets. James observes him and informs them that the man may be the famous [[Goldeen Scoop Master]]. The Master lives up to his reputation, amazing the crowd with his catching prowess. Determined to settle things, James steps up and challenges him to a 10 minute Goldeen scoop-off. The Goldeen Scoop Master accepts, and the competition gets heated as both continue to catch Goldeen. The Master's net unexpectedly breaks, winning James the victory and the Goldeen. James's performance attracts new customers hoping to beat the record.


Dawn is attacked by a group of Ariados and was trapped in their web but then Piplup came and broke it with his BubbleBeam. He then catches Dawn and swims down the river. They spot the same Natu and follow it as well.
Meanwhile, Barry reaches a familiar tree, and recalls that he caught his Heracross after slathering some [[honey]] on it. Barry then sees a jar of honey nearby. He goes up and spreads some on a tree and his Heracross flies up. It begins to eat the honey and Barry begins to freak out. Then he sees the same Natu he saw a little while ago. Though Ash relives the moment he was attacked by a group of {{p|Spearow}} [[EP001|early on in his journey]]. He accidentally steps on a Spearow's feather which begins to follow him but is taken out by Pikachu, who is also larger than normal. A group of Spearow show up and Pikachu takes Ash onto his back. As it starts to rain, the Spearow have already reached them and Pikachu stops, dropping Ash down. He uses {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}} to get rid of them. After the battle is over, the rain ceases. Meanwhile, like when she first [[DP001|left home]], Dawn is attacked by a group of {{p|Ariados}} which use their strings and trap her in their web. Then Piplup shows up and breaks the web with his {{m|Bubble Beam}} and defeats the threat with {{m|Bide}}. He then catches Dawn and together they leave.


Ash, Dawn and Barry meet up and find Natu. It creates an illusion of the Tent and summons a Camerupt. Ash and Dawn attacks the Camerupt but it takes no damage. Then Barry says that they should hit it on the rings on its side. Heracross fires a Double-Edge and one of Camerupt's craters erupt. Piplup fires a Bubble Beam and the other crater erupted. Pikachu finally used Thunder and Camerupt sent out a large explosion. They all then find themselves back outside the tent and find Xatu flying above them. Barry follows it again but eventually bumps into somebody, who was actually Tower Tycoon Palmer, and also Barry's Dad. They all came back to the festival, and Dawn asks Barry how he thought of hitting the rings on Camerupt.
As Dawn and Piplup follow Natu, they suddenly bump into Ash, Pikachu, Barry, and Heracross, who were all following the same Natu. Then, the Natu creates an illusion of the Tent and summons a {{p|Camerupt}}. Ash and Dawn attack the Camerupt but it takes no damage. Reminded by the Hit-the-Camerupt game, Barry comes up with the idea that they should hit it on the rings on its side. Heracross fires a {{m|Double-Edge}} and one of Camerupt's craters erupt. Piplup fires a Bubble Beam and the other crater erupts. Pikachu finally uses Thunderbolt and Camerupt sends out a large explosion. Natu steps in front and bursts into light.


The scene returns to Brock, still without customers on his stand, exclaiming how bored he is.
Ash, Barry, and Dawn all find themselves back outside the tent and see Xatu flying above them. Barry follows it again but he bumps into somebody, his father, [[Palmer]]. Both Barry and Palmer are surprised to see each other. Palmer reveals that he has also visited [[Xatu's Forest]]. Barry is left wondering whether it was all a dream, though Palmer's explanation that the past connects to the future only confuses his son. Palmer reiterates that Xatu have the ability to see into the past and the future, so it may have wanted to remind the kids of their pasts to affect their future paths. They all come back to the festival and Dawn asks Barry how he thought of hitting the rings on Camerupt, however he cannot explain it. Meanwhile, Sawyer congratulates the Rocket trio on a good day's business while Brock remains bored as he is still without any customers.

Blurb

As the Twinleaf Festival winds down, our heroes encounter a Natu and a Xatu, who provide them with a mysterious and puzzling adventure they’ll never forget!

Coming to the close of the Twinleaf Festival, our heroes are enjoying some of the many treats it offers when they run into their old friend Barry, who challenges Ash to a battle right away. But Barry suddenly notices a Xatu overhead and takes off, with Ash and Misty following.

Soon everyone (minus a very bored Brock, who has volunteered to man one of the booths to cover for a sick attendant) comes across a strange circus tent, and they’re all invited inside. Suddenly, a blinding light causes Ash and his friends to lose consciousness. Upon awakening, they realize they’ve become separated from one another, and they’re surrounded by seemingly gigantic Pokémon!

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is manning the Goldeen Scoop Game booth at the festival, and a stranger threatens to win every Goldeen in stock! But James comes to the rescue, as his younger years’ training in the Goldeen Scoop Game allows him to defeat the stranger and keep the Goldeen for other customers.

When our heroes are finally reunited, they begin to think that the mysterious Natu might hold some answers to their strange experiences of late. After defeating a gigantic Camerupt, they all find themselves back to normal size. They run into Barry’s dad, Palmer, who attempts to explain some of the mysteries of the past, present, and future, although Barry is more confused than ever. We leave our heroes as they ponder the fascinating things Palmer has told them!

Plot

Ash, Brock, and Dawn are walking with Johanna and enjoying the Twinleaf Festival when Barry runs into Ash. Barry says he is entering the Festival Battle Challenge, so he challenges Ash to a practice battle. As the two run off to have their battle, Johanna tells Dawn to go with them, and she runs off after them. Then Sayer shows up and tells Johanna that one of their booth salespeople have gotten ill, and that they are one salesperson short. To help solve the problem, Brock offers to run the stand for him.

Later, Barry's Heracross and Pikachu are battling. Pikachu starts with a Quick Attack, but Heracross block it and lands a strike of its own using Megahorn. As the battle continues Barry is shocked as he notices a Xatu flying over. Dawn looks it up on her Pokédex and Barry runs off following it with Ash and Dawn in pursuit. As they catch up, they see a big tent up ahead with a Grumpig, a Mr. Mime, a Seel and an Alakazam outside doing circus tricks and the Xatu they've followed is perched on the rooftop. Barry tells Ash and Dawn that the tent used to be a part of the festival. A clown approaches and invites them inside the tent which he says "it connects the past, present and the future".

After a bright flash of light, Ash wakes up alone in a field of tall grass. He stands up and sees a particularly large pair of Nidoking and a Nidoqueen, and he continues to see several other large Pokémon. Then a pack of Mightyena appear, which sends Ash running to safety and diving into a hole. As he gets back out a Natu runs by and Ash tries to follow it. Meanwhile, Dawn fins herself standing along a riverbank, calling for Ash, Barry and Piplup. Like Ash, Dawn sees several large Pokémon including a Fearow flying overhead, a Magikarp and a Feebas jump out of the water. They are all bigger than usual. She sees a Natu hop by and looks it up on her Pokédex. She wants to send her Pokémon out but her Poké Balls are not working. Elsewhere, Barry is sitting on the edge of a cliff, watching groups of over-sized Tauros, Sandslash and Dodrio graze. He then spots a Natu and follows it.

Brock is trying to run his Hit-the-Camerupt booth and lets out his Pokémon to help him. Despite his upbeat manner, no one approaches. Team Rocket is watching people play their Goldeen scoop game, but no one can catch one on their net. Jessie gets mad when one of the kids say the game is rigged but James stops her from doing anything. Then a man walks up and grabs one of the nets. James observes him and informs them that the man may be the famous Goldeen Scoop Master. The Master lives up to his reputation, amazing the crowd with his catching prowess. Determined to settle things, James steps up and challenges him to a 10 minute Goldeen scoop-off. The Goldeen Scoop Master accepts, and the competition gets heated as both continue to catch Goldeen. The Master's net unexpectedly breaks, winning James the victory and the Goldeen. James's performance attracts new customers hoping to beat the record.

Meanwhile, Barry reaches a familiar tree, and recalls that he caught his Heracross after slathering some honey on it. Barry then sees a jar of honey nearby. He goes up and spreads some on a tree and his Heracross flies up. It begins to eat the honey and Barry begins to freak out. Then he sees the same Natu he saw a little while ago. Though Ash relives the moment he was attacked by a group of Spearow early on in his journey. He accidentally steps on a Spearow's feather which begins to follow him but is taken out by Pikachu, who is also larger than normal. A group of Spearow show up and Pikachu takes Ash onto his back. As it starts to rain, the Spearow have already reached them and Pikachu stops, dropping Ash down. He uses Iron Tail and Thunderbolt to get rid of them. After the battle is over, the rain ceases. Meanwhile, like when she first left home, Dawn is attacked by a group of Ariados which use their strings and trap her in their web. Then Piplup shows up and breaks the web with his Bubble Beam and defeats the threat with Bide. He then catches Dawn and together they leave.

As Dawn and Piplup follow Natu, they suddenly bump into Ash, Pikachu, Barry, and Heracross, who were all following the same Natu. Then, the Natu creates an illusion of the Tent and summons a Camerupt. Ash and Dawn attack the Camerupt but it takes no damage. Reminded by the Hit-the-Camerupt game, Barry comes up with the idea that they should hit it on the rings on its side. Heracross fires a Double-Edge and one of Camerupt's craters erupt. Piplup fires a Bubble Beam and the other crater erupts. Pikachu finally uses Thunderbolt and Camerupt sends out a large explosion. Natu steps in front and bursts into light.

Ash, Barry, and Dawn all find themselves back outside the tent and see Xatu flying above them. Barry follows it again but he bumps into somebody, his father, Palmer. Both Barry and Palmer are surprised to see each other. Palmer reveals that he has also visited Xatu's Forest. Barry is left wondering whether it was all a dream, though Palmer's explanation that the past connects to the future only confuses his son. Palmer reiterates that Xatu have the ability to see into the past and the future, so it may have wanted to remind the kids of their pasts to affect their future paths. They all come back to the festival and Dawn asks Barry how he thought of hitting the rings on Camerupt, however he cannot explain it. Meanwhile, Sawyer congratulates the Rocket trio on a good day's business while Brock remains bored as he is still without any customers.
