Good Grief of Us All

## Plot

On a beautiful day, Rainbow Sparkle comes outside of her house and takes a picture of a few trees. She returns inside and adds the picture to her collection of outdoor photos on her shelves. She recalls her finished errands and the clock strikes three, the time when she plays her piano. As she begins, she hears someone sobbing outside.

She runs outside and gets herself in tears of a Pokémon that's she's never seen before by it's tears. She tearfully asks him why he's crying, but he doesn't respond due to his sobbing and saying his name.

Rainbow Sparkle wants to help him, so she tearfully runs back in her house to dry back her tears and figure out what animal he is. She discovers that he's Sobble. It says that Sobbles are always happy except when it's far away from home, she read as she gets interrupted by Sobble's sobbing. She decides to take him home to cheer him up, then runs back outside.

Now wearing protective glasses, she asks Sobble where he lives, but he doesn't want to listen as he contiunes sobbing, one of his tear drop lands on Rainbow Sparkle's piano keys. It made the key to make a piano sound, making him stop crying. Rainbow Sparkle found out that he likes the sound of piano. She decided to keep Sobble from not sobbing by playing her piano.

She plays the piano for a while, but her arms and hands gets tired, making Sobble cry again. She heads over to Monika's place for help, and she brings Sobble by leading him with the piano's music.

Monika was working outside her workshop, then Rainbow Sparkle comes with Sobble to explain to her that he cries whenever she stops playing her piano, and he does so. Luckily, Monika's eyes are protected from Sobble's tears thanks to her goggles. She asks for her help, and, although she doesn't know how to play the piano, she has an idea.

Monika tiredly keeps playing her piano to keep Sobble happy until Monika was finished. She comes out with her new invention, Mozart the Robot. It automatically plays the piano, keeping Sobble permanently occupied. They now have to figure out where he lives. They show him the map of Colorville and ask him where he lives. He points at an empty lot, confusing them. Rainbow Sparkle decides to walk him through town to see if anyone knows him.

They do so while Mozart the robot plays the piano to keep Sobble happy, however no one recognizes him. Rocket then jumps in with a ball and asks them if they wanna play, then he sees Sobble. He sees that Sobble likes music and figured he'd also like the ball, then have fun with it. However, Sobble does one of Rocket's tricks, moving around on the ball with his feet, and gets all wobbly, causing him to fall on Monika's invention, destroying it and the piano, making Sobble to sob. Monika can repair the machine, but is insure about the piano because it is destroyed as Sobble continues to cry. That was until he heard music play. He  runs to where it came from, and they follow.

The empty lot they ran to wasn't empty. The Pokémon Convention was there. Sobble must've remembered the area it was is when he pointed at the lot on the map. His owners came out, a boy and his younger sister, and are reunited. Sobble says his name, because he's just a Pokémon. When the boy asked Rainbow Sparkle how she found him after he ran off from following the ice cream truck, he sees her broken piano, and the sister generously gives her one of theirs. They have plenty, and she happily takes it. The sister then asks if they could join in the Pokémon convention.

The convention features food stands, games, meet and greets, and music. The episode ends with Rainbow Sparkle plays the Pokémon theme on her piano.
