Meowth cries, throwing the frying pan off of him, "Are dose Whismur ready to rock?" At this, we see [[Jessie's Seviper|Seviper]], [[James's Cacnea|Cacnea]], [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Wobbuffet]], and three {{p|Whismur}} gathered on a stage. | ||
We look at the Whismur as Meowth explains: "I was in charge of the entertainment for da boss's arrival... so I gave da percussion job to dose three wacky Whismur." The Whismur began to chatter until Meowth booms, '''"Hey! I don't need no Whismur rappin', but I do need some Team Rocket maracas playin'!"''' The Whismur shake their maracas a little to appease Meowth, who smiles and continues, "Good!

This loud noise doesn't disturb the Loudred either. | ||

"As if things weren't bad enough...." Meowth continues as the baton lands on Treecko's head, triggering it and causing Polka O Dolka to come blaring into the room....

In his zeal to ''NOT'' dance, Treecko knocks over a barrel, closing up the baton in the process. Meowth suddenly realizes that Pikachu and co. are there.... "'''So!'''

All the dancing causes the patio to give way -- Lotad slips and causes the baton to play a tango. Everyone partners up and tangos their way to safety right before the patio completely falls off, after which everyone resumes dancing on a catwalk... until Pikachu accidentally switches the baton off. | ||
The chase resumes as our heroes duck into the kitchen. Mudkip climbs on a table, sending all the food and silverware atop Meowth. Torchic sends Cacnea flying into the ceiling, angering him to the point where he begins firing {{m|Pin Missile}}s in rapid succession, destroying almost the entire base in the process -- even opening the party balls in the kitchen! | The chase resumes as our heroes duck into the kitchen.

In his frustration, Meowth accidentally triggers the Pokébaton and Polka O Dolka begins again, and in his panic to turn the baton off, sets it to play a hula, which everyone save Treecko does, at least until a party ball lands on Meowth, deactivating the baton and resuming the chase.

"Catch them on da double!" Meowth calls as he chases our heroes across the rafters. During all the commotion, Cacnea trips and falls on a piece of wood, sending a bucket on top of Seviper.

He sweeps Mudkip in his arms and spins her around, getting her dizzy in the process. | ||
As the baton continues to go haywire, the music gets faster and faster, until the baton finally explodes due to overload. | As the baton continues to go haywire, the music gets faster and faster, until the baton finally explodes due to overload. | ||
