<i>Meowth is in charge of the Team Rocket secret base, a mysterious place full of odd gadgets and gizmos. Desperate to impress the boss, Meowth wants to use the Dancing PokéBaton—a device that lets users control Pokémon as they please—to create a show that’s sure to wow. Meanwhile, Pikachu and its friends finish up playing in the forest and stumble on the base. The gang hears Whismur, the Whisper Pokémon, crying for help—but when they try to make their rescue, the Dancing PokéBaton goes off and sends the whole group into a dancing frenzy! When a noise-loving Loudred and Ludicolo get caught up in the dancing, the madness gets even wilder! What’s going to happen to Meowth’s precious secret base?</i> | |||

* {{ | * In the beginning of the short, Meowth is dancing beside a roller showing various things taken from Pikachu shorts: the mountain from ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'' (still misspelled as "Pokémon"), the tree from ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]'', the house of tires from ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]]'', the stairs from ''[[PK10|Pikachu's PikaBoo]]'' and the mine from ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]'', respectively. | ||
* {{ | * This is the first time {{TR|Meowth}} has had a [[boss fantasy]] outside of the main series. | ||
* Although [[Ash's Treecko]], [[May's Torchic]], [[Brock's Lotad]], and [[Brock's Mudkip]] are present alongside Pikachu, Ash, May, Brock, and Max are not present at all, meaning the only humans that are present in this short are Jessie, James, and Giovanni (he appears in a fantasy sequence). | |||
* Also, in this short, the Hoenn starter Pokémon (consisting of [[Ash's Treecko]], [[May's Torchic]], and [[Brock's Mudkip]]), [[Brock's Lotad]], and Pikachu, as well as the Pokémon owned by Team Rocket, remain outside of their Poké Balls for this whole entire short. | |||
* Although the main anime was using the digital animation process at the time of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, this short and the main film ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' were still produced using traditional hand-painted cels. | |||
