{{TRT}} spies on them like usual and [[Jessie]] daydreams of having her own show with the Igglybuff. Our heroes sit back and enjoy the show for a bit, but Team Rocket appears, in costume on a platform, singing their {{motto}}. {{TP|James|Weezing}} uses {{m|SmokeScreen}} to distract Ash and others while they take Brittany's Igglybuff and accidentally Jigglypuff. Ash, Misty, and Brittany go to rescue Brittany's Igglybuff while {{an|Brock}} entertains the audience. The audience appears to love Brock at first, but Brock keeps singing the same song over and over again. They eventually get tired of his singing and so does Brock. Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and Brittany finds Team Rocket and battles them. When Ash, Misty, and Brittany come back, Brock is more than happy to have Brittany take over the show. | |||
Finally, our heroes sit back and relax. Jigglypuff goes backstage to retrieve her microphone by going into Ash's, Brock's, and Misty's backpacks. She appears on the stage and starts to sing. At the end of the episode, Jigglypuff walks away; appearing upset. Everyone in the audience, including Brittany and her Igglypuff, are shown with their faces drawn on by Jigglypuff. | |||
