Flower Power - Recap

Ash and friends continue onward, but decide to stop in Florando. They see many stage shows going on in the streets and check a few out. They watch as two Bellossom perform an act, and it's going quite well until the final jump lands one of the Bellossom on Ash. After this, they meet with the Bellossom's trainer named Bailey. She tells them how one of her Bellossom hasn't been able to do the finale to their act lately. Meanwhile, Team Rocket just happen to be in the area and so they decide to do a little stage show to make some money. They hope to showcase Meowth talking so they can get an in to have James doing his ballerina dance and Jessie doing a Flamenco dance. They give Meowth some really corny jokes and nobody's impressed. James slips Meowth a joke and he goofs it up anyway. They lose their audience, and so devise another way to draw attention. They roll in on everyone with a Bulldozer dancing their dances for all to see. This catches the attention of everyone including Ash's group and Bailey. Team Rocket come out with Arbok and Victreebel, but are knocked off their bulldozer with some guy's Alakazam's psychic attack. They run away, with plans to return. So, later on they're eating meatballs out of an old frying pan in an alley just as Jessie eats the last one a flyer hits her in the face. She reads that there will be a talent exhibition and everyone is welcome. They decide this will be the perfect time to strike and steal everyone's Pokémon, and to get some food too. Meanwhile, Bailey's Bellossom, Togepi and Pikachu are doing a little dance as they all watch. Bailey explains the similarities between battling and dancing to the gang. They then decide to try the Bellossom's finale to their act once again, the Bel loop-de-loop. Ash stands in position to catch a potentially falling Bellossom, and they begin the run into a jump. Bell runs toward Bella and is lifted off into the air, tries a twirl but fails again. Ash catches Bell and they decide to maybe leave this part out of the next performance. Later on at the show, the original hosts were left tied up underneath the stage as Jessie and James announce the start of the show. The participants all come out, including Bailey and her Bellossom. Just then, Meowth throws a net over all the Pokémon and the balloon begins to lift off. Ash sends Pikachu to stop the balloon using Heracross to give Pikachu a huge boost. They bring down the balloon and battle Arbok and Victreebel once again. Pikachu dances around and evades them until Victreebel grabs his foot holding Pikachu as Arbok approaches to bite him. Bailey is just freeing her Bellossom as this is happening and sends them to do their dance and just then they get their finale jump correct and save Pikachu from the bite. They dance up a tornado and Team Rocket blasts off again. They do their performance on the stage, and it is also perfectly successful. Everyone is happy and the Bellossom are too. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are still twirling down the road, somewhere.
