Back with Misty's Politoed, Tammy is instructing her Grass Pokémon to dance as Politoed conducts the routine with its clapping tempo. The group leaps into their signature finish with Politoed at the head of a pyramid, just as Misty, Bean and the others walk past. Misty bets that her Politoed and Bean have been mixed up somehow. Bean looks into the building courtyard and Misty spots Politoed with the girl. Misty explains that they must be a cheerleading squad. Bean becomes angry and upset at seeing Misty's Politoed and rushes up to Tammy, who enthusiastically greets him at first. However, she then turns snide, informing Bean that he is too late and has been replaced, saddening Bean. Misty runs up and informs Tammy that Politoed belongs to her, introducing themselves while Misty's Politoed dances happily. The girl introduces herself as Tammy and explains that her team is trying to enter the National Cheering Competition. Tammy asks Misty for a favor. She shows the trio how well her troupe performs with Misty's Politoed as the leader and assures her that she would be certain to win first place if Politoed led them to the Nationals. However, Misty is worried about Bean, who is standing all alone and sad watching the proceedings. Tammy explains that she was very angry at Bean earlier, who ran away. Misty asks if Bean can train again, but Tammy sadly says no, then orders her Grass Pokémon back to their practice. Meanwhile, Team Rocket spy on the cheer practice and decide that dancing troupe would make a great gift for the {{an|Giovanni|Boss}}. | Back with Misty's Politoed, Tammy is instructing her Grass Pokémon to dance as Politoed conducts the routine with its clapping tempo.

Politoed leads the signature pose once more, but one of the Jumpluff loses its footing and the whole pyramid collapses.

Tammy apologizes for the mess, but Misty berates her for not caring about her own Pokémon, not even checking if they were injured. Misty checks on Politoed, who is fine, and then begins to clap which cheers Tammy's Pokémon out of their tears. Tammy watches Misty check the Pokémon, getting a flashback of her younger self.

Tears trickle down Tammy’s face as she remembers that she once cared for her Pokémon and was focused on her dreams of entertaining crowds, not winning. Politoed attends to Tammy, but its clapping only makes her cry harder. She explains her obsession with winning the competition had begun to override everything else. She had been trying to make people happy while upsetting those closest to her. However, her Pokémon begin to cheer, showing that they are not angry at her at all. Tammy emotionally embraces all of her Pokémon. | ||
At this moment, Team Rocket attacks in a [[Team Rocket's mechas|giant Cheering Politoed mecha]]. The robot's giant tongue seizes Misty, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, Brock, Tammy, Politoed, and all of the Cheering squad, and everyone is dumped into the giant robot's stomach cage. Nearby, Ash hears and sees the mecha. He rushes back with Pikachu and Bean in pursuit. The mecha turns around and faces Ash. Jessie taunts him for being tardy. Brock warns Ash, but it is too late as Ash and Pikachu fall into another pitfall with a large sticky flytrap that immobilizes them both. Team Rocket's mecha uses an antenna to seize Pikachu and cut him free, but Ash is left stuck. Inside, Jessie dreams about her all of hard work of digging pitfalls paying off, to which James clarifies that he and Meowth did all the digging. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt but it doesn't work against Team Rocket’s insulated robot. Thrilled at their imminent victory, Team Rocket decides to depart with Pikachu and the Cheering squad, with Meowth promising Ash that, since he has been a good sport about them stealing Pikachu, they will return Misty | At this moment, Team Rocket attacks in a [[Team Rocket's mechas|giant Cheering Politoed mecha]].

As the mecha turns to leave, it is confronted by Bean. Team Rocket lashes it with the robot tongue, but Bean dodges it. Bean launches a {{m|Water Gun}} on the mecha's glass capture hold, freeing the captives. The mecha attempts to squash Tammy and Bean, though Tammy leaps to save herself and Bean. Tammy apologizes to Bean and pleads with it to let her work together to reach their goals, which Bean happily accepts. Misty and her Politoed vow to help, and it conducts the cheer squad. Jessie becomes sour and orders {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to use {{m|Headbutt}}, which Misty's Politoed immediately counters with a Headbutt of its own. Politoed lands and begins clapping while Arbok is left [[Flinch|dazed]]. Bean uses {{m|Double Slap}} and Politoed follows with a Water Gun, knocking out Arbok. Bean and Politoed then team up for a Water Gun and drench the mecha in water. Brock frees Ash from the pitfall and Ash orders Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, zapping the robot and sending Team Rocket blasting off. | As the mecha turns to leave, it is confronted by Bean.
