Outside the park, Team Rocket fume saying that if it wasn’t for Ash’s terrible singing they would have had Pikachu by now. Jessie brightens saying they’ll get Pikachu tomorrow, but James asks if Ash and his friends would spoil their fun. Jessie grins saying she has a plan.

The next morning, Ash and his friends head to the rehearsal hall where they meet Sally and her Seel which had returned the night before. A man in a tuxedo then introduces himself as Mr. Sullivan, the emcee and manager of the show, and begins the dress rehearsal. The act with a singing {{p|Charmander}} and Pikachu ends, and then it is Ash and his friends’ turn with an act named ‘Brock’s Rockin’ Band’. However, as they begin, Brock, too nervous, fails to start the song. Trying not to panic, Ash runs out and asks a girl in the audience if he could borrow her top hat. Coming back with the hat, he gets Horsea to fill it with water and handing it over to Brock, Brock begins to sing as if he was washing the dishes. The audience goes wild and applauds throughout the whole song. But as the act finishes, Ash hears a sound and looks up to see a heavy stage light swinging dangerously above Brock’s head. Ash tries to warn Brock, but Brock fails to hear due to all the girls wanting his attention. Having also seen the danger, Misty runs towards Brock. Ash then sends out his {{AP|Pidgeot}} in hope of blowing Brock away from danger, but at the moment, the light becomes loose. Togepi waves its arms back and forth and suddenly Brock and Misty disappear to the other side of the room. Misty exclaims saying she was sure Togepi had saved them, and Ash remembers something similar had occurred back in the [[Orange Islands]]. Studying the ceiling, Brock says it must have been an accident, but Ash accuses Gary. Gary argues back by saying he was outside practicing and would never sabotage such a lousy act.

Ash and Gary then go outside to finish the argument. Gary sends out {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}} while Ash sends out his {{AP|Charizard}}. Ash then commands Charizard to show Gary what it can do, but Charizard just yawns. Laughing, Gary orders Arcanine to use {{m|Ember}}. Charizard flies up, dodging the attack, and Ash commands Charizard to use {{m|Flamethrower}}. Gary yells out at Arcanine to not give up, and Arcanine responds by showering Charizard with burning embers. This causes Charizard to become angry and let out a huge stream of fire. Before the flames engulf Arcanine, Gary calls it back into its Poké Ball and instead calls out {{p|Alakazam}}. Charizard lets out a blast of flame, but Alakazam uses {{m|Reflect}} to return it, hitting Charizard. Ash returns Charizard and sends in Pikachu instead, but before Pikachu attacks, Alakazam strikes using {{m|Psybeam}} and controls Pikachu with its psychic energy. Ash returns Pikachu, and instead turns to Misty and asks for her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}. Hesitantly, Misty sends Psyduck out from its Poké Ball and Ash asks Pikachu to give Psyduck a little shock.  As Pikachu shocks Psyduck, Psyduck begins to hold its head with a headache. Misty urges Ash to sing a song, which he does, causing Psyduck to sway and moan. Ash keeps singing until Psyduck unleashes {{m|Confusion}} at Alakazam. Gary orders Alakazam to also use Confusion as well. But before the battle could end, Mr. Sullivan interrupts saying that this show is a competition on talent, not battling and states that the show will start within a few hours. Gary heads back into the rehearsal hall as Brock states that it was probably not Gary who had tried to hurt Brock, but that it was linked to the strange music. Ash decides to investigate this and heads to the music store, to ask whether anyone had bought any flutes recently. In the store, a teenage boy and girl push Ash out saying that they are closed for the talent show. Suddenly, they take their disguises off to reveal a red letter “R” and Ash realises they are Team Rocket. They tie Ash and Pikachu up with thick rubber cords which even Pikachu cannot frazzle. Ash struggles to get free by yelling for help but Jessie turns on the radio so that no one can hear before leaving for the talent show.
