ja_ed=[[Get Fired up, Spiky-eared Pichu!|もえよ　ギザみみピチュー！]] |

Ash and {{ashfr}} are heading towards Dawn's next Contest in [[Lilypad Town]] when {{an|Dawn}} sees a poster announcing that her favorite show [[Sinnoh Pokémon Hustle]], is holding auditions near there. She, {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} decide to check the program out, however, unknown to them, the show is actually {{TRT}} setting up a test for future Team Rocket members! As they go to sign up they see {{si|Rhonda}} and the [[Sinnoh Now]] staff, have come to cover the event. Rhonda says that she is surprised that there is a Pokémon Hustle event going on as she had no notification of it.

Ash and friends are looking at all the people that have entered and attempt to say hi to a few. A girl with purple hair, a boy with blue hair and a lady with blue hair ignore them. They are surprised by the people's coldness around there.

The first event requires the Trainer to cross over to logs, one of which spins. The first person to try is a Trainer with his {{p|Oddish}}, who promptly fall in. Next is Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} who make it across despite Team Rocket's interference. Then Dawn and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} manage to cross as well. Brock tries next but he and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} fall in, so does a Trainer and her {{p|Teddiursa}}. Then two talented Trainers named Crimson and Azure cross, also does a lady and her {{p|Growlithe}}.

The second stage of the competition is revealed to be a challenge where the Trainer swings across the water from one platform to another trying not to fall off when they hit a big, spinning yellow tube. Ash tries first and just barely manages to cross, hitting trouble at the spinning tube. Dawn also manages to make it across along with [[Azure]], [[Crimson]] and the lady with the Growlithe. [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} head over to check on the Poké Balls to find that they are gone. Ash finds them and accuses them of taking the Pokémon. All the Trainers begin to crowd around and Team Rocket take off their disguises and performing their motto. When the Trainers ask for their Pokémon back they inform them that they do not know where they are.

Suddenly the lady from earlier rips off her disguise revealing that she is [[Officer Jenny]]. She points towards Azure and Crimson and says that they have stolen the Pokémon. Brock begins to flirt with her but Pikachu and Piplup drag him away. Team Rocket decides to help Azure and Crimson escape from the crowd and leads them up a tall ramp that has huge balls balanced at the top. The crowd of Trainers begins to follow them up the ramp. James pushes the balls off and takes out many of the Trainers except for Officer Jenny - who is shown jumping them - and Ash, Dawn, and Brock, who hang on the side. Team Rocket then leads them down a zip line. As Jenny, Ash, Dawn and Brock follow, they cut the zip line, causing the others to fall. Team Rocket then praises Azure and Crimson who are not the least impressed and say that they are a two person team. Crimson and Azure then send out their {{p|Zangoose}} and {{p|Drowzee}} and send Team Rocket flying backwards. Jenny sends out Growlithe who uses {{m|Flame Wheel}} on Drowzee, getting everybody's Poké Balls back. Ash then sends out {{AP|Buizel}} who uses {{m|Water Gun}} on Drowzee and Zangoose. Jessie and James then send out {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} but they are sent blasting off by Drowzee's {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Growlithe then defeats Drowzee with {{m|Fire Fang}} and Pikachu defeats Zangoose with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Jenny then arrests both Azure and Crimson. Brock then again flirts with Officer Jenny but is taken off by {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}. Jenny then leaves with Azure and Crimson, and then after saying good-byes Ash, Dawn and Brock continue yet again on their way to the Contest.

==Trivia==  

* The dub returns to show new episodes in a 4:3 aspect ratio on standard definition yet again, after showing the previous two episodes in a 16:9 aspect ratio. This would continue until Cartoon Network stopped their cropping practices sometime during the week prior to the initial dubbed airing of ''[[DP149|Sticking With Who You Know!]]''.
