Ash and his friends have found a forest by a lake, the perfect place to camp, and train for the Pokémon League. But unoticed behind them, Jigglypuff is following! (cue scary music) Ash sayd the Pokémon League is going to be a blast! Brock appears in front of him, holding a pot, saying just like his chili! Ash says its too spicy! Then, a girl with green hair comes over and asks if theyre Pokémon trainers. Brock goes over and says hi, hes Brock and hes a Pokémon breeder and trainer, and whats her name, and does she have a boyfriend? Misty drags him off, saying they have to go bury his chili before someone gets hurt.

The girl is Katrina, and shes looking for a good Pokémon battle! She sends a Raichu! Ash says this will be an awesome battle, and sends Pikachu! But then, a net comes down! Its Team Rocket! James says prepare for a news flash! Meowth says that they caught Pikachu! Then they see Pikachu standing next to the net. But whos in the net? A very upset Raichu. Katrina tells Raichu to use Thunderbolt, and it does, frying Team Rocket. She tells it to use Mega Kick, but before it can, someone shouts cut! A weird, big guy comes over, holding a megaphone. He says that was fabulous, he loved it!

He tells the camera guy to move in for a close up of the losers, Team Rocket. They jump up, and says how dare he say theyre losers! The guy then says an altered version on the Team Rocket motto, except changed to have to do with movies. The guy is Clevan (I think) Speilbunk, the winner of the Golden Growlithe award (looks like an Arcanine to me) Misty says who is this guy? He gets upset, saying that kids are too obsessed with cartoon shows, and never go to see the good movies! Brock says hes his hero, and hes the one who made his favorite movie, "I Saw What You Ate Last Tuesday" (I Know What You Did Last Summer. Funny) The guy says its good some young people like the movies.

Jessie asks what a director is doing out there. He says hes on a talent search for his new movie. James says he;s in luck, because he once went to a renouned correspondance (sp?) school. Jessie says that she once played a worm that lived in a roten apple in a play in third grade. =) Speilbunk says hes looking for Pokémon actors. Ash says he;s doing a movie with just Pokémon? Speilbunk says its a love story, but there will be lots of action and suspense! The star is a Wigglytuff!

The Wigglytuff stands in front of everyone, blushing. Meowth says that is Wigglytuff is the star, the movie will be a real snooze! Wigglytuff looms over him angrily, then beats the crap out of Meowth. Brock says that with a Doubleslap that strong, Wigglytuff will be a super star! He says its strange how something so cute can be such a brute! Wigglytuff beats him up, too. Then it leaves. Ash says that its touchy. Jessie says its a pre-modonna, and Misty says it takes one to know one. Jessie says to know one what? James sighs. =) Speilbunk says that Abra (yay!) was supposed to be the co-star. But Wigglytuff was too rough, and it Teleported off the set. Darn, no Abra! =( He says the co-star will have millions of fans! Jigglypuff hears from behind a tree.

Later, a bunch of trainers are gathered in front of a stage, where a bunch of Pokémon are. Togepi tries to go up to the stagem but Misty says its a bit too young. Ash tells Pikachu good luck. Brock sends his Vulpix, saying its perfect for the part. (Does Vulpix have a new voice actor or something?) Misty tries to send Staryu, but Psyduck pops out, as usual. Misty says it must be a horror movie. =) Speilbunk says that the Pokémon in his movie have to do more than just act.. He tells some other guys to start the music, and the Pokémon Dance Mix starts playing. He says they have to be able to dance! All the Pokémon just stand there, looking confused.

Meowth says hes dancing, and starts moving around. Jessie tells Arbok to use it Wrap attack to break dance, and James tells Weezing to turn its Tackle into a tango! Arbok starts spinning around, and Weezing bounces up and down. A Hitmonlee starts kicking the air. Pikachu and Raichu dance togteher, which is really cute. Vulpix jumps into the air a few times. Osyduck waves its tail from side to side. Speilbunk says great! Hes narrowed his choice down to seven Pokémon! Pikachu and Raichu, Arbok and Weezing, Vulpix and Psyduck, and someone else. Meowth keeps dancing, hoping to be chosen. And he is! Meowth goes over and starts licking Speilbunk on the face, and Speilbunk shouts.

Later, all the chosen Pokémon and Wigglytuff are on the stage. Speilbunk says that the Pokémon have to sing. Meowth gets out a guiter, and starts singing badly, but then, Jigglypuff appears! (cue scary music) Everyone who knows about Jigglypuff freaks out. Jigglypuff sings. We see everyone in the campgrounds fall asleep. Including an Abra, but since it would already be asleep, how would it be affected? Arent they asleep but concious at the same time? Anyway. Jigglypuff gets mad and draws on their faces, they wake up and get upset, the usual. Before they wake up, a Fearow flies overhead... (It means something, I think)

Speilbunk says the Pokémon have to sing with Wigglytuff to win! Meowth says he works alone. Wigglytuff beats him up. Brock says Wigglytuff is more tuff than wiggly! Jessie tells Arbok this is its only shot at stardom! James tells Weezing to work those windpipes. But Wigglytuff gets mad and beats them up, too. Speilbunk says that Meowth, Arbok and Weezing are out! Jessie says how dare he not cast one of Team Rockets Pokémon! James tells weezing that theyll teach him a lesson! Bt where ae Arbok and Weezing? Currently walking, er, slithering, er, floating, away, looking very upset. Jessie and James chase after. Jessie says that they know they have talent@ James says that maybe they can try TV! Meowth says dont leave him with that Wigglytuff! Jessie says theyre their biggest fans, and Jame says they;re their only fans!

Speilbunk says thats showbusiness. Misty says its a tough business. Brock says that you gets slapped around by critics and co-stars. On the stage, all the Pokémon leave, except Psyduck and Wigglytuff. Misty says Psyduck is too dumb to know how dumb it is! Speilbunk says that since Psyduck is the only Pokémon left, it gets the part! That surprises everyone. Misty hugs Psyduck, saying that since its going to be a celebrity, shes gla it has no brains! Brock says that maybe Psyduck is only acting dumb. Speilbunk asks if theyre ready to start shotting the first part. Brock asks how Speilbunk would describe the movie in one word. He says brilliant!

He shows them a preview, a bunch of pictures. He says its a story about two love struck Pokémon, Wigglytuff and Psyduck. They had just begun to go out. Psyduck takes Wigglytuff home after their first date, and serenades her under a full monn. (Psyduck singing? That would be...disturbing) It looks like smooth sailing for their romance. But, their fueding family and frieds don;t want them to be together. And then, heartbrake! A stary arrow heads right for Wigglytuff! But Psyduck leaps in front of her in the nick of time! But Psyduck has been mortally wounded. He Psys his last Psy in Wigglytuffs arms. The tragedy brings the two families together, and the fued ends. Speilbunk says it will win lots of awards, and make lots of money in the box office!

Misty says it doesnt sound like a very original idea. (Its like a Pokémon Romeo and Juliet, or West Side Story) Brock says it was great, and Ash says he wants to see it again! =) Ash, Brock and Katria say that theyll help with the movie for free. Speilbunk says okay. Ash says it must be their lucky day.

Team Rocket is watching, of course. But Arbok and Weezing are still upset over losing the part. Meowth says that they had their hearts set on the role, but the movies chewed them up and spit them out like old popcorn! Jessie and James both slap thei Pokémon, telling them to snap out of it! Jessie says theres a long stariway to climb to the top. James says and theres no elevator. It may mean years of rejection, but one day, you might see your name up in lights! Jessie says look out world, these are the stars of tomorrow! Meowth says or the day after that!

Back at the camp. Speilbunk says places, theyre about to shoot the last scene! He says he always shoots the last scene first, so he knows how the movie turns out. A bunch of Pokémon are out in a field, in two groups facing each other. There;s a Gyarados, a Chansey, a Poliwrath, a Tauros, a Doduo, and a bunch of others. Speilbunk says he wants los of emotion for the battle between the two familes! He says lights, and some Magnemite turn on the lights. He says camera, and the camera guy starts filming. A Krabby with some numbers taped on its claws clicks its claw. Ash tells Pidgeotto to use Gust, and it does, and clouds and stuff form in the sky, and it gets windy. Speilbunk syas he wants rain, and Mistys Staryu uses Water Gun to make it look like rain. Speilbunk says now he wants the thunderstorm! Ashs Pikachu and Katrinas Raichu use Thundershock, and lightening starts crashing.

Speilbunk syas start battling! All the Pokémon start fighting. Speilbunk says that now its time for Wigglytuff and Psyducks big dramatic entrance! To both go over to the battle, and Wigglytuff starts saying stuff. But then, Pikachu is thrown out of the fight, and hits Wigglytuff in the face. Wigglytuff gets angry, but then smoke starts flowing in from somewhere! Jessie and James appear, and start saying their motto in front of the camera, trying to push each other out of the way while saying it. Meowth jumps up right in front of the camera and says hi fans! =)

Ash says they wont let Team Rocket ruin the movie. He tells the Pokémon to surround them, and they do. Ash says action, and the Pokémon start fighting with Team Rocket. The camera guy asks if he should keep rolling. Speilbunk syas to keep rolling, and follow him. They also jump into the fray. Ash tells Pikachu to be careful. then he sees hes being filmed, and says that hes Ash from Pallet, and hes trying to become the worlds best Pokémon trainer. Misty knocks him out of the way, and says shed like to thank all her fans who voted her as the most beautiful Pokémon trainer! Then Brock gets in front of the camera and says hello ladies. =) Then Katrina screams. All the Pokémon have been captured in some weird crane thing, with Meowth running it!

Only Psyduck wasnt captured. Misty says it doesnt even know how to get kidnapped the right way! =) Team Rocket laughs. Jessie says that in this movie, the bad guys win! Ash says to let the Pokémon go. Misty tells Psyduck hes the only Pokémon left, and has to use an attack. (He is not! Brock and Ash still have all their Pokémon, and Misty has her others too!) Misty telsl Psyduck to do something, and Wigglytuff shouts, um, Wigglytuff. Psyduck gets a weird, but familiar look on its face, and starts running around in circles crazily. Misty and Wigglytuff keep shouting at it, well, him, I guess.

Suddenly, Psyduck stops, and its eyes glow. It glows blue, and so does the crane thingy. All the Pokémon are freed! Then Psyduck uses its powers to send the crane flying, and Team Rocket fades out again! Then Psyduck faints. Wigglytuff runs over to it, and holds it up. Psyduck wakes up and Misty says that Psyduck is the big hero! Wigglytuff hugs it in a death grip. Everyone says hurray, and Speilbunk says print it! He says that was fantastic, hes glad he thought of it!

Later that night, eveyrone is gathered around a fire. Ash says hes supposed to be trainimg, but he got sidetracked again. Misty says that making a movie was the chance of a lifetime! Brock says that Ash also met someone, Katrina, with the same dream he does. Ash says that theyll have lots of great battles in the Pokémon League. Katrina says not to expect her to go easy, just because hes a friend. Speilbunk says that;s a great idea for a movie! An epic about a young boy and girl with the same dream of training Pokémon. Brock says he could star in that, and Misty says hed be perfect. Speilbunk says that whoever was the star would have millions of female fans, and Brock says that he could handle that! Over by the ake, we see Wigglytuff and Psyduck sitting next to each other. How cute, Psyduck finally found someone! =) And Team Rocket finds themselves in quite a cliffhanger, hanging from the top of a tall tree.
