While {{ashfr|the group}} is on their way to [[Viridian City]], [[Misty's Horsea]] looks ill as it swims in a fountain. {{an|Brock}} suggests that it needs to find a bigger pool to swim in, and so, the gang decides to head for {{an|Misty}}'s home town, [[Cerulean City]]. When they get there, they discover that [[The Sensational Sisters|Misty's sisters]] at the [[Cerulean Gym]] are having trouble attracting crowds to their performances and have advertised {{an|Misty}} to be in a new performance called the Underwater Ballet. Misty is reluctant to be a part of this at first and shocked to learn that the first performance is tomorrow. She finally agrees after a lot of begging from her sisters alongside Ash and Brock's encouragement. They then celebrate after convincing their little sister to do what they want, much to Misty's frustration.

The sisters soon begin rehearsing as Violet, the scriptwriter, reads it out. Misty remain disinterested and nervous, though her sisters actively act out the scenes including the sword fights. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is in front of the Cerulean Gym when they notice the Underwater Ballet show poster. James is immediately interested and notes that he used to learn dance, though [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} have different motives. The trio decides to infiltrate the show to steal all of the {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

On the day of the performance, a large crowd fills the whole Gym, eager to see the show. {{Ash}} and Brock are sitting among the audience, and Ash is excited to see Misty, though she is nervous after seeing the size of the crowd. After an introductory announcement, the lights dim and the Gym's pool rises close to the ceiling. The show starts smoothly with Misty swimming with the water Pokémon. While {{ka|Lily}} and {{an|Violet}}, in costume, are watching, Team Rocket attacks them and takes their costumes. {{an|Daisy}}, who had been taking tickets, hears her cue on the pre-recorded voice-over and goes to change. As the antagonists of the show appear, Ash and Brock quickly realize that Team Rocket has gate-crashed the show and leave their seats to address the situation. Jessie and James insert breathing devices into their mouths before diving into the pool. Misty emerges from a clam shell to see Team Rocket swimming towards her. They perform their {{motto}} underwater and are thrilled by the crowd's applause.

Meowth, waiting on a diving board, presses a button, and the Meowth Balloon crashes through the ceiling. Meowth then releases a net, which ensnares several {{p|Goldeen}}. Misty and Team Rocket tussle over the Pokémon. Meanwhile, Daisy has since changed into her costume and is about to enter the stage when Ash and Brock appear. They quickly inform her of Team Rocket's arrival and hand her {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} before diving in to help Misty. Confused at this, Daisy hears banging on a nearby locker, and finds Lily and Violet bound and gagged. An underwater battle commences between Misty and Ash's Water Pokémon against [[Jessie's Arbok]]. Horsea's {{m|Bubble}} is swatted way by Arbok's tail, and it then disappears in a {{m|Smokescreen}}. When the black cloud clears, a {{p|Seaking}} attacks Arbok with its horn. Misty then orders Seaking to use {{m|Horn Drill}}, which hits Arbok multiple times.

The battle continues, but the audience is still convinced that it is all part of the show and are practically enjoying it. Violet attempts to help and summons [[Misty's Psyduck]], though they are shocked to learn that it hates water. Although {{TP|James|Weezing}} floats to the surface, unable to breathe underwater, Arbok dominates its opponents and rounds them up, hoping to finish them off. Just then, {{OBP|Seel|Cerulean Gym}} intervenes, quickly encircling Arbok. At Misty's command, it follows up with several {{m|Headbutt}}s. Misty's sisters are impressed by Seel's battling, admitting they never thought about using it. After delivering a successful {{m|Aurora Beam}}, Seel begins spinning and evolves into {{p|Dewgong}}. Arbok advances again, though Dewgong sends it flying into Jessie and James before freezing them with its {{m|Ice Beam}}. After Misty and Brock bring the Water Pokémon to a rock, {{AP|Pikachu}} electrocutes the water, sending Jessie, James, and Arbok upwards. They hit Meowth and the balloon, sending them all blasting off once more. The crowd goes wild, having enjoyed the show. Because of this, the Cerulean Gym shows are popular again, with months worth of bookings set up.

Before departing, Misty decides to leave Horsea at the Gym after Brock reminds her of Horsea's condition, and her sisters also borrow her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. They also want {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and Pikachu as well, but Misty and Ash refuse to hand them over. Misty then offers to let them have {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, which the sisters say they aren't that desperate for. Later, Ash and his friends bid farewell to the Sensational Sisters to continue their journey. As they leave Cerulean City, Ash compliments Misty's performance, but Misty reminds him that he still owes her a bike.
