(Sometime later, Togepi approaches the edge of the pool, Pikachu panics.)
Pikachu: "Pikachu!" (Togepi!).
(However Togepi catches himself before falling in.)
(and Pikachu also catches himself.)
(However, he ends up falling into the pool.)
(Close to the stands of the pool, the gang listens to the story.)
Violet: "Okay, let's start the rehearsal. This is a really awesome story,"
(Violet says.)
Daisy: "Violet was our script writer, as usual,"
(Daisy says, and laughs.)
(Then explains.)
Daisy: "Okay, the story goes: The Magical Mermaid is relaxing peacefully with her Pokemon, Seel, when two evil villains.."
(Then Violet and Lily approach their younger sister with prop swords.)
Daisy: "Suddenly appear,"
(Daisy adds.)
(Then Lily says.)
Lily: "We tie you up, and try to make you tell us where the sunken treasure is. But when you won't tell us, we get really rough."
(Misty nervously asks.)
Misty: "Uh, can we use a stand in for this part?
(Violet then smacks Misty on the head with the script.)
Violet: "Don't get cute."
Misty: "I'm doing you the favor, remember? So, stop picking on me! I'm doing the best I can!"
(Misty says.)
Violet: "Okay, then our prince comes out, and he, like, fights off the villains and saves you,"
(Violet adds.)
(Daisy then comes in with her prop sword and the siblings fall over.)
(Violet continues to read the script.)
Violet: "The magical mermaid and the prince fall totally in love and raise a whole lot of Seel, and live happily ever after."
(Seel then starts clapping with glee.)
(Mew and the others clap their hands.)
Brock: "I liked that charming prince,"
(Brock says.)
Mew: "I liked your part Misty, but I also liked the Seel,"
(Mew says.)
Misty: "You would,"
(Misty says, and rolls her eyes.)
(Suddenly, Misty asks.)
Misty: "Hey Daisy, how are the Pokemon I left here doing?"
Daisy: "They're doing fine, especially Brionne,"
(Daisy says.)
(Just then, Mantyke and another Pokemon comes out.)
(This Pokemon is a light blue, pinniped Pokémon with three ruffle-like growths around its body.)
(The first ruffle is just under its front flippers, while the last is shortly before the tail.)
(The ruffles alternate white and pale blue.)
(Its long ears are made up of three segments that lighten and increase in size towards the tip.)
(the first segment is ovoid, while the latter two are spherical.)
(It has a long, conical snout with a white tip, a spherical pink nose, and large dark eyes with pinkish pupils.)
(Its front flippers are much longer than its tail flippers, although both have white tips.)
(There are three digits on the front flippers.)
(Misty kneels to them.)
Misty: "Hi Brionne. Mantyke. It's great to see you.
Mew: "Oh yeah. I remember Daisy telling us a few months ago, Popplio evolved,"
(Mew says.)
(She brings out her Pokedex and Dexter says.)
Dexter: "Brionne, the Pop Star Pokemon and the evolved form of Popplio. A Water Type. A skillful dancer, it creates a sequence of water balloons as it dances, and briskly bombards its enemies."
Daisy: "Brionne has been a great performer. And she loves to swim in our underwater ballets,"
(Daisy says.)
(Misty then looks around and wonders.)
Misty: "But where's Finneon?"
Violet: "Here it comes?"
(Violet says.)
(Coming out of the water is a fish like Pokémon with dark blue scales.)
(Its eyes are deep pink, and its face and eyelids are light blue.)
(It has two pairs of large pectoral fins that resemble butterfly wings.)
(These fins have wavy, light blue markings around the edges, and the lower pair is longer on the female.)
(There is a band of light blue running vertically around its body.)
(Its tail is long with a deep pink spot at the tip, and it has a pair of light blue pelvic fins.)
(The Pokemon then swims to where Misty is to greet her.)
Misty: "Wow! Finneon has evolved,"
(Misty happily says.)
Daisy: "Just evolved before you called, so we wanted to surprise you,"
(Daisy says.)
Mew: "Wow. It's pretty,"
(Mew says.)
(She uses Dexter to see the information.)
Dexter: "Lumineon, the Neon Pokemon, and the evolved form of Finneon. A Water Type. They traverse the deep waters as if crawling over the seafloor. The fantastic lights of its fins shine like stars in the night sky."
Lily: "Brionne, Lumineon, and Mantyke loved living here and they loved to perform. You should see how Brionne performs with the color bubbles she makes,"
(Lily says.)
(Meanwhile, outside of the gym, Team Rocket notices the poster.)
(Meowth says.)
Meowth: "Hey, look! They're putting on The Magical Mermaid with some ballerina underwater!"
James: "Ooh! An underwater ballet. I'd like to see that,"
(James says.)
Jessie: "It does sound like fun, doesn't it,"
(Jessie says.)
James: "I took some modern dance when I was a young lad,"
(James says, determined.)
(Meowth also says.)
Meowth: "They got more than just a ballerina."
James: "You're right, Meowth!"
(James says.)
Jessie: "It looks like there'll be lots of water Pokemon in that show,"
(Jessie says.)
Meowth: "And we love water Pokemon, don't we?"
(Meowth asks.)
James: "Of course we do. So what?"
(James questions.)
Jessie: "So, I think we should get tickets to the show,"
(Jessie says.)
Meowth: "Yeah, and the show could be our ticket to some Pokemon,"
(Meowth says.)
(Knowing Team Rocket, they have another scheme to steal Pokemon.)
(The next day is the premiere of the Underwater Ballet Show.)
(On speaker, Daisy says.)
Daisy: "Hello, and welcome to the Cerulean gym's splash-tacular new show! Please have your cash or major credit card ready! "
Violet: "Just look at all these people, Lily!"
(Violet says
(Then Lily says.)
Lily: "This is gonna be our biggest hit ever!"
(Inside, Daisy is handing people papers.)
Daisy: "Thank you, the entrance is right this way. Please enjoy the show.
(Then happily says in her thoughts with sparkles in her eyes.)
Daisy [in mind]: "I am, like, so happy we tricked Misty into this!"
(In the arena, everyone is seated for the show.)
(Mew along with the others are among them.)
Mew: "This is gonna be great! I can't wait to see Misty."
(Mew says.)
Pikachu: "Pika!" (Me too!)
(Pikachu says.)
Eevee: "Eev!" (Me three!)
(Eevee says.)
