As they continue exploring the [[Orange Archipelago]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} | As they continue exploring the [[Orange Archipelago]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stumble upon a floating theater called the [[Pokémon Showboat]], where all of the actors, singers, and dancers are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The three of them decide to see the show and enter the {{wp|paddle steamer}} boat. They watch as {{p|Abra}} referees a boxing ring match between {{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Machoke}} while {{p|Clefable}} watches. As the show comes to an end, Ash says that he guesses there are other Pokémon besides {{MTR}} who can talk. | ||
Suddenly, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} wanders off behind the stage. The others run after it and find out that the Pokémon in the performance were lip-syncing to human voice actors hidden backstage. A young actress named [[Kay]] appears and yells at the group to be quiet. As the performance ends with the Pokémon dancing on stage, [[Roger]], a voice actor, asks Kay to send her {{p|Raichu}} out to the stage to dance with the other Pokémon. Raichu then appears from behind a box, but when Kay asks it to perform, it sits there sadly and refuses. Ash's group and the voice actors then sail to the next island, [[Kinnow Island]]. Ash thanks Roger for taking them along and asks if there is anything they could do in return. He replies that he would like Ash to teach Kay some pointers on how to become closer with her Raichu. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} are pursuing the vessel in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp submarine]] and plot on stealing the performing Pokémon. | Suddenly, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} wanders off behind the stage.
