(Meanwhile, up at the diving platform and behind the curtains.)
(Misty is dressed in her mermaid costume and is starting to get nervous to see the crowd.)
(Seel and Brionne are with her for support.)
Misty: "Uh oh. There's so many people out there. I'm kinda nervous,"
(Misty says, a little nervous.)
(But then says.)
Misty: "But I know I can do it."
(Just then Daisy's voice appears on the and gentlemen.)
Daisy: "Thank you for your patience. Our underwater ballet, The Magical Mermaid, performed by the exciting and talented Cerulean Sisters, is about to begin!"
(Just then, the hatch opens and the pool begins to rise up catching everyone's attention.)
(Everyone is amazed and astonished.)
(Soon, the spotlight shines on the Pokemon in the tank.)
(All of Misty's water Pokemon are there, including some Goldeen.)
(There is also Horsea, Seaking, Starmie, Staryu, Brionne, Lumineon, Mantyke, and Seal.)
(Soon, Daisy begins the story on the speakers.)
Daisy: "Once upon a time, in a beautiful, peaceful lagoon, there lived many varieties of happy water Pokemon, who spent many playful hours with their lovely friend, the Magical Mermaid!"
(On the diving board is Misty, dressed as the Mermaid.)
(She then dives into the tank and begins to swim with the Water Pokemon.)
(Sweet music plays as Misty has fun with the Water Pokemon.)
Mew: "Misty's pretty good,"
(Mew says.)
Brock: "Of course, she's a water Pokemon trainer,"
(Brock says.)
(Misty swims with the water Pokemon into a cave.)
(She then goes up to the surface in the cave to get some air.)
(Then swims out with the Pokemon as the audience applauds.)
(Meanwhile, dressed as the villains, Violet and Lily are behind the curtains and ready to go on.)
(Violet looks out and says.)
Violet: "They're totally into it."
(Lily looks to see and starts to have a second thought.)
Lily [In mind]: "Maybe I should have played the Magical Mermaid, she has a much nicer costume."
Violet: "That is, like, totally selfish! Besides, the costume would look better on me,"
(Violet says.)
(Just then, Meowth steps in.)
Meowth: "We can be the villains."
(The girls turn their heads to see Team Rocket wearing ridiculous ballet costumes.)
Jessie: "We'd be perfect for the part,"
(Jessie says.)
(And James says.)
James: "And we wouldn't even have to act."
(Violet and Lily begin to panic to see the villains here.)
(Meanwhile, at the reception desk, Daisy finishes with getting some papers finished.)
(Then Daisy says.)
Daisy: "It's almost time for Violet and Lily to go on. I better start getting ready for my part, too! Too bad any of those other guys couldn't make it."
(Daisy then heads off to get ready for her part.)
(Back to the show, the Water Pokemon are laying next to a shell and Misty is laying on the inside of it.)
(The story continues.)
Daisy: "Everyone in the calm lagoon passed day after day in joyous song and dance, and they happily frolicked and played, before drifting off into a peaceful sleep. The Magical Mermaid's water Pokemon all lived their lives in peace and harmony."
(The Pokemon soon falls asleep.)
(Misty then puts on a miniature breather in her mouth to get some air.)
Daisy: "But not all peace and harmony can last, for one day, two terrible villains came…"
(The story continues.)
(The spot light then comes on over the diving board to reveal Team Rocket.)
(not Violet and Lily, much to Mew and the others' shock.)
Mew: "Everyone, check it out!"
(Mew says, shocked.)
Brock: "It's them!"
(Brock says.)
Tomo: "Oh no!"
(Tomo says.)
Pikachu: "Pika. (Oh great.)
(Pikachu says, annoyed.)
Eevee: "Eevee," (Not them.)
(Eevee says.)
(Then they all say.)
Everyone: "Team Rocket!"
Meowth: "Meow!"
(Meowth says and laughs.)
Meowth: "Looks like the real bad guys showed up!"
Jessie: "What do you mean, bad? Nobody's better at stealing water Pokemon than we are,"
(Jessie says.)
James: "And next time, we steal men's clothes,"
(James adds.)
Jessie: "Enough talk,"
(Jessie says.)
(Then they both put on breathing devices.)
James: "We're on,"
(James says.)
(In the audience, Mew and the others can sense trouble.)
Brock: "Those three must have some plan to ruin the show,"
(Brock says.)
Tomo: "But what about Violet and Lily? I thought they were playing the villains?"
(Tomo asks.)
Mew: "Something must have happened. Let's go!"
(Mew says.)
(Mew and the others leave the audience as Team Rocket dive into the water where Misty and the Pokemon are.)
(The story continues.)
Daisy: "Then, the evil villains crept into the Magical Mermaid's Pokemon's hideaway."
(Horsea, Sobble, and some of the other Pokemon alert Misty as the shell opens for her to see Team Rocket.)
(Misty puts on her breath and demands.)
Misty: "What are you doing here?"
Jessie: Prepare for trouble!
James: And make it double.
Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!
James: To unite all peoples within our nation.
Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
James: To extend our reach to the stars above.
Jessie: Jessie!
James: James.
Jessie: Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!
James: Surrender now, or prepare to fight.
Meowth: Meowth! That's wet!
(Suddenly, everyone begins to clap and cheer, thinking this is part of the show.)
(Unfortunately, that basically adds to Team Rocket's ego.)
Jessie: "They love us! We're killing them!"
(Jessie says.)
James: "I always knew I was destined for greatness! A Starmie is born!"
(James says, filled with pride.)
Meowth: "Heh! Now they'll get a chance to see Team Rocket do what we do best! Which is, steal the show!"
(Meowth says, and presses the button.)
(The basket of the Team Rocket hot air balloon burst through the ceiling.)
(Meowth bounces in the balloon and says.)
Meowth: "Heh. And now it's time for the grand finale! Bring up the water Pokemon and we'll bring down the house!"
(Jessie says.)
Jessie: "Right!"
James: "You got it!"
(James says.)
(Team Rocket then cast in the net and are able to catch the Goldeen, even most of Misty's Pokemon: excluding Brionne, Seel, Horsea, Vaporeon, and Sobble.)
(Team Rocket happily says.)
Team Rocket: "Heave ho! Heave ho! That's the end of the Pokemon show!"
(Misty, Horsea, and some of the other Pokemon swim towards them.)
Misty: "No, you can't steal these Pokemon! Let go! Leave them alone!"
(Misty says, and grabs the net.)
Jessie: "I'm afraid your underwater acting career is all washed up!"
(Jessie says.)
James: "Make like a clam and scram,"
(James says.)
(Soon, there is a tug of war between them.)
(Brionne, Seel, and Vaporeon try to help out.)
Jessie: "Take your hands off this net and drift away, like a good little mermaid,"
(Jessie says.)
(But Misty says.)
Misty: "Not on your life. These Pokemon don't belong to you, and you don't belong here!"
Story teller: "Then, just when it looked like all was lost, a charming and handsome prince arrived in time to save the day,"
(The story continues.)
