EP049

## Summary

As they continue exploring the Orange Archipelago, Alex and his friends they stumble upon a floating theater, where all of the actors, singers, and dancers are Pokemon. The three of them decide to see the show.

Suddenly, Slowpoke wanders off behind the stage. The others run after it and find out that the Pokemon in the performance were lip-syncing to human voice actors hidden backstage. A young actress named Charlotte appears and yells at the group to be quiet. As the performance ends with the Pokemon dancing on stage, Bradley, a voice actor, asks Charlotte to send her Clefable out to the stage to dance with the other Pokemon. Clefable then appears and Alex checks it's data on his Pokedex. Charlotte asks Clefable to perform, but it refuses. Alex's group and the voice actors then sail to the next island, Kinnow Island. Alex thanks Bradley for taking them along and asks if there is anything they could do in return. He replies that he would like Alex to teach Charlotte some pointers on how to become closer with her Clefable. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are pursuing the vessel in their submarine and plot on stealing the performing Pokemon.

Back on the floating theater, Alex is trying to teach Charlotte how to get along with her Pokemon. He asks her to show him a performance with her and Clefable, which she does, but Clefable continues to do nothing. Alex then tries to give Clefable some words of encouragement but ends up getting punched in the process.

Just then, Team Rocket fires two torpedoes at the paddle steamer, which sends Clefable flying into Charlotte's arms. Team Rocket then appears on the boat and goes to steal the performing Pokemon. As they do, Butch notices Clefable crying and threatens it, only to get punched instead. Chansey attempts to intimidate Butch and Cassidy, but upon noticing Bradley's eye movements, it pretends to agree with Cassidy.

The voice actors manage to get up, even with the ropes still around them, and distract Team Rocket by voicing over their Pokemon. The trio soon finds themselves surrounded and are intimidated by the Pokemon's tough talk. Chansey uses Double Slap and hits Butch's face. Alex and Salvadore then confront Team Rocket with Charizard and Tentacool. Meanwhile, the voice actors have broken free and Charlotte rushes over to her Clefable. Everyone watches on in amazement as Charlotte then teams up with her Clefable and uses Moonblast to blast Team Rocket off the boat. As the boat stops at another island and prepares for the next show, Alex takes the time to call Professor Oak on the video-telephone about the floating theater. Just then, Charlotte runs out of the boat and informs Alex that Bradley cannot perform in the show because he lost his voice. Charlotte fills in for Bradley's part, while Alex, his friends, and their Pokemon join the stage performance.
