==Plot==
===Part One===
The special episode starts off with a view of the big city at night. The camera zooms in to see {{MTR}}, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Cubone}}, and three {{p|Squirtle}} standing atop of a building. Meowth begins to rant about a plan that he has as he thrusts up three crescent-shaped cards with fruit outlined in them. One of them holds the moon in its gaping circle while music starts to play. ''[[We Are the Pichu Brothers|Side by Side - Pichu and Pichu]]'' begins to play. The night turns to day in the city and the camera zooms in to see [[Pichu Brothers|Pichu big and Pichu little]] happily playing.


The Pichu run off through the city and up a lamp post. Upon jumping off, they land on a ledge and begin to run and play again. The camera goes to a {{p|Smoochum}}, admiring herself in the mirror. She turns to see {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Sunflora}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Delibird}}, {{p|Xatu}}, {{p|Magneton}} and {{p|Elekid}} each holding one of the crescents Meowth had from earlier. Smoochum jumps into the camera and the camera switches to {{p|Teddiursa}}.

Soon after seeing them, a Ledyba flies by, also holding one of the cards. Teddiursa begins to imagine the food shapes in the middle.  They find themselves walking through the park, trying to figure out what was happening, when they came across a {{p|Smeargle}} and an {{p|Aipom}} playing with the cards. They ran over, demanding answers. Aipom took Smeargle's tail and began to draw all the fruits from the middle of crescent shapes. When they still couldn't get it, Aipom drew something else, what looked like a clock, with Smeargle's tail. Magby seemed to be the first to identify it.

===Part Two===
The drawing led the gang to a large building. With the help of Teddiursa's nose, they found themselves inside of an old warehouse. Once more, Teddiursa sniffed the air and found where the fruit from Aipom's drawing were. Once they tried to run over to the fruit, the three Squirtle seen earlier stopping them. The Cubone from earlier explained the crescent shaped cards were invitations and the fruit was for everyone who was invited.

Meanwhile, Smoochum was looking for her friends when she ran into an {{p|Oddish}}. The Oddish seemed extremely upset.

===Part Three===
The episode then switches back to the Pichu brothers who are still trying to escape from the angry Houndour. They go through a small opening in a large fence. When Houndour tried and failed to go through the same way, it simply went around the fence. The Pichu brothers found a small place to disguise themselves as a {{p|Piloswine}}. However, when the Houndour came looking for them, it found out the Pichu were hiding in the disguise and the chase continued.

Meanwhile, Meowth and his friends were finally finished setting up for the party. However, Cubone slipped and fell into a few of the tables. Meowth yelled angrily at it, only to get it upset again. After a few reassuring words from Meowth, Cubone happily jumped around again and the Squirtle began to clean up the mess.

===Part Four===
The episode swtiches to Magby, Wooper, and Teddiursa back at the Pokémon Clubhouse, looking very distraught. The two Pichu ran over with the invitation, followed by Smoochum with the sad Oddish. Oddish's invitation had been blown away in the wind. Pichu big realized that the invitation they had was actually Oddish's. Pichu little was hesitant on giving Oddish the invitation, but with a push from his older brother, he finally handed it over. Happily, Oddish ran off with its invitation.

Fortunately for them, {{p|Azumarill}} ran over with invitations tied to a balloon at hand. Meowth had sent them to everyone, but Azumarill forgot to deliver them. Before Azumarill could hand over the invitations, a wind swept the balloon away and got it hooked on a pole hanging off of a building. Pichu big quickly got an idea after seeing a balloon floating in the air in the wind. They began to create a Magby-powered hot air balloon. Once they got up to where the invitations are, the wind almost blew the balloon away. However, one of the Pichu was able to grab a hold of the invitations.

Again, Meowth was seen standing on a building, happy that his party was here. The episode swtiched to a scene with many Pokémon enjoying themselves at the party. Pichu and the gang showed up with their invitations and began to dig in.

Meowth left the room with Cubone, the three Squirtle, and Wobbuffet. Meowth made an announcement telling everyone that the show he planned out was about to begin. The Pokémon all walked through the doors to the stadium.

The episode switches to 3-D Meowth and Wobbuffet happily getting ready for the party. This next part, as stated earlier, is different from each viewing. However, the same version of [[Meowth's Party]] is heard.

At the very end of the episode, Meowth is seen wanting to set off fireworks. However, when they set off the fireworks, nothing happens. When Meowth goes to investigate, the fireworks start up, sending Meowth flying with them. Pichu and the gang look in awe at the beautiful fireworks.
