Haru: Pokémon are great!
Yuki: And so are friends!
Haru Together as a team!
Yuki: We can shine even more!
Unsion: Pokémon Best Friends, Starting now!
Chihiro, Tsubasa, Nozomi, And Rizumu: (Previously on...)
Unison: (Pokémon Best Friends!)
Chihiro: (Last time, We met back up with Hikaru and Hareta while a dirigible called the Leviathan 2 makes a stop on its maiden voyage.)
Tsubasa: (We were soon invited inside to help out a pair of Kecleon that belonged to two women named Madison and Alexa.)
Nozomi: (That was when Team Rocket showed up trying to steal them and they ended up running away from them to protect a jewelry box.)
Rizumu: (After we find the Kecleon and stop Team Rocket, We head back out on our Journey to Olivine City.)
With The Fourteen Trainers
Today, The fourteen Trainers and their Pokémon journey to the Johto League gym in Olivine City. As we see Nozomi carrying a sleeping Tsubasa.
Tsubasa:... So sleepy...
Nozomi: Mightily cute.
Rizumu: I've been wondering, Why is Tsubasa always so sleepy.
Chihiro: Ya got me. It's not like he's a workaholic or anything, It's just a habit of his so to speak.
Rizumu: I see. Despite you're twins, You two aren't much alike. No that its bad or anything. It's kinda nice. Your demon lord character is pretty interesting after all.
Chihiro lightly blushes at that as he smirks and puts three fingers over his eye.
Chihiro: Well you're not wrong. As expected from my little demon Ririz.
Rizumu got somewhat surprised as Nozomi giggled a little at that.
Nozomi: That's pretty funny, Ririz.
Tsubasa:... It's nice...
Silver: He's really into that kind of stuff huh?
Ethan: I'll say.
Kris: You've already come up with names for our newest recruits huh?
Chihiro: Naturally, Rizumu is Ririz. Nozomi is Nozou. Elijah is Elino. And Silver is Silvester.
Silver: Hah?! What kind of ridiculous name is that?!
Ethan and Kris: Settle down.
Rizumu: This'll take some getting used to...
Nozomi: I kinda like my name.
Tsubasa soon slowly wakes up and yawns before rubbing his eyes as Nozomi lets him down.
Tsubasa: I had a great dream...
Rizumu: Really? What was it about?
Tsubasa: The four of us performing on stage together... It was nice.
Everyone stops turning to Tsubasa at that.
Ash: The four of you? Royal Rocks and Rhythm Hope Sisters?
Tsubasa nods at that.
Nozomi: Wow wow wow! That sounds great! And it won't be a dream if we can actually pull it off!
Everyone else was somewhat surprised at that.
Chihiro: You mean the four of us perform for reals?
Haru: Why not, That sounds like a good idea.
Yuki: You four have been especially close when your met. Maybe it'll be a good experience for you.
The four Idols looked at each other at that.
Rara: I'd like to see you perform a quartet.
Elijah: Mm hm. It'd be a fun performance.
Rizumu: Well... Maybe... Sure, I'd be fun.
Chihiro: A quartet between the four of us! How intriguing!
Nozomi: And it'll be mightily fun!
Tsubasa: Yeah.
Misty: Hey!
Everyone then turns to see the group had made it to the shores of a crystal clear lake.
Misty: This is it! It's Lake Lucid!
Ash: Lake Lucid?
Haru then looks at the map on his PokéGear.
Haru: She's right, Ash. It's here on the map.
Yuki: Not that we're familiar with it or anything.
Brock: I've heard of it.
Ethan, Kris, And Silver: Same here.
Rara and Elijah: Well I haven't.
Nozomi: Mightily amazing!
Rizumu: Yes, Mightily!
Tsubasa: It's more beautiful in real life then on the brochure.
Chihiro: Yeah, To think we'd come to this place.
Ash: How come you all know about it and some of us don't?
Celebi: Other than the fact that you don't live in Johto.
Misty: You'd know about Lake Lucid if you were a Water Pokémon trainer like me, Ash, 'Cause every water Pokémon trainer dreams about visiting the famous Pokémon Center here.
Ash: What's so great about it?
Pikachu cries out as everyone looks and sees someone come up to the surface in a diving suit carrying a Goldeen, Surprising most of them.
Brock: Hey, A girl!
Brock then pushes Ash out of the way.
Brock: I know it's a girl! And a very beautiful one I might add!
Ash: Brock. How can you tell that?
Brock: My heart can! It hasn't failed me yet!
Everyone got bewildered by that.
Riolu: (Uh, You're forgetting about all the times you got rejected.)
Zorua: (And you get dragged by the ear for flirting.)
???: Okay. Bring in the water stretcher.
Some Chansey roll in said stretcher, Indicating that the person in the diving suit is Nurse Joy as she puts the injured Goldeen in the stretcher.
Joy: Our patient's recovering nicely, But it's time to change the bandages again. Please take Goldeen to the treatment room.
The Chansey roll Goldeen away.
Joy: Be gentle.
Soon, Nurse Joy opens the suit as she sighs.
Joy: I'm glad that's over with.
Brock: That suit's pretty thick, Nurse Joy, But my heart saw right through it.
Joy: You. You saw through my suit.
Brock: Don't worry about it, It's only a figure of speech. My friends call me Brock. In fact, Everybody calls me Brock, so I'd prefer if you'd call me your boyfriend.
Misty shoves Brock aside.
Misty: Excuse me, Are you the Nurse Joy who's in charge of the Lake Lucid Pokémon Center?
Joy: I am. And who might you be?
Misty: It's her! In person! My sisters are gonna be so jealous that I met you!
Yuki: She's totally enchanted!
Haru: Yeah.
Ash: Misty, Take a chill pill, Will you?
Rizumu: I expect this.
Nozomi: Totally. But it's really her!
Chihiro: I think not.
Tsubasa: Seems like a different one.
Joy: Hello. How are you, Pikachu?
Pikachu cries out saying hello back to Nurse Joy.
Joy: You look a little tired. Would you like to come for treatment in my Pokémon Center?
Brock: I'd love to! I need close, Personal attention from a loving healthcare professional! Ahh-!
Rara grabs Brock's ear and pulls him away.
Rara: She was talking about Pikachu ya pervert.
Nurse Joy: Yes, But you can all come along if you like.

Opening Over
(The Joy Of Water Pokémon)
Misty: I can't believe I'm talking to THE Lake Lucid Nurse Joy! I almost feel like I'm dreaming.
Ash: What's the big deal? She seems like all the other Joys.
Brock: She's not. She's an author.
Brock then gets out a book.
Brock: I have a copy of her book here. It's called "A Spring Without Pokémon".
Ash: "A Spring Without Pokémon"?
Chihiro, Tsubasa, Nozomi, And Rizumu take out the same book as well.
Chihiro: We read this when we were at the academy.
Tsubasa: This book is a real inspiration.
Nozomi: Wow wow wow! You read it too?!
Rizumu: Back home we read this book too at school.
The four Idols smiled at each other at that.
Joy: Yes, But I didn't write that book, Brock. My grandmother did. It was about fifty years ago. In those days, The lake and this whole area were terribly polluted by the waste from nearby factories and towns. It was so bad the Muk stayed away, But grandmother still loves this place, So she decided to do something. She dedicated her life to studying the effects of pollution on Pokémon. And she told the world about what she learned in "A Spring Without Pokémon".
Brock: Please, Nurse Joy, Couldn't you autograph this copy for me?
Joy: I could sign my name, But it wouldn't be authentic if it's not from my grandmother.
Ash: Wow, Now the water looks just as clear as the kind that comes in a bottle. I wonder how it got all cleaned up.
Haru and Yuki looked at the lake with smiles on their faces along with Celebi.
Yuki: I think I can guess.
Haru then takes out his Elemental Beasts Coord of Suicune.
Haru: Yeah, I think I can tell too.
Celebi: So beautiful. Just like the Lake of Life...
Brock: Found it! My copy of "A Summer of Muk".
Brock then hands the book to Nurse Joy.
Brock: Here you go, Nurse Joy. How about signing this one to my beloved Brocky?
Joy: I'm sorry, But I didn't write that one either, Brock.
The four Idols then pushes Brock out of the way much to his surprise.
Chihiro: If you used your brain, You'd know she's the third generation of Nurse Joy here at Lake Lucid.
Tsubasa: We read A Summer of Muk too! It was just as good as the first one!
Nozomi: Wow! What a coincidence!
Rizumu: We read that book also.
Silver: So it's tradition?
Joy: My mother was inspired by my grandmother's work, So she decided to carry it forward. After a lot of work, She managed to get the factories and towns to stop polluting the lake. Then she was put in charge of draining the toxic water, Cleaning the lake bed, And refilling it. The Grimer and Muk returned first, But my mother kept working. Soon the lake was crystal clear, And water Pokémon came here to live again. So many came that she decided to build the Lake Lucid Pokémon Center to take care of them. And now I'm here, Trying to carry on the family tradition.
Soon, A sound is soon heard.
Misty: Hey, What's that sound?
From the lake, A Tentacool and a Dewgong surface.
Misty: Look, It's a Tentacool.
Brock: Yeah, and a Dewgong too.
Suddenly, A Gyarados surfaces as well. Elijah got startled as he hides behind Rara.
Ash: Look at that Gyarados, Misty!
Misty: Do I have to...?
Rara: Relax Elijah, Keep your distance and Gyarados won't hurt you.
Elijah: Okay...
Rara and Elijah soon notices Poli was from the left side of Rara staring at Nurse Joy in silence.
Elijah: Poli?
Rara: What's the matter?
Poli snaps out of her thoughts looking at Rara and Elijah before shaking her head.
Joy: We specialize in water Pokémon, And they love to come here for our personalized treatments and because the lake is so clean.
In the lake with the Tentacool, Dewgong and Gyarados are a Starmie, A Magikarp, a Seel and a Seaking.
Misty: These Pokemon look great, Nurse Joy. Whatever you're doing for them really seems to be working.
Joy: The lake's a place where water Pokémon can exercise and build up their strength physically and emotionally.
Brock: Emotions huh? I like the sound of that. I need emotional buildup, Nurse Joy. Maybe you can help me.
Misty grabs Brock's ear.
Brock: Not the ear!
Misty: Forget it. If you have an emotional buildup over her, I guarantee it'll be a letdown for you.
Soon, Some Seadra surfaces and fire Water Guns at each other.
Ash: Look. Those Seadra are starting to battle each other.
Some Dewgong start battling as well.
Ash: And those Dewgong are going at it too!
Joy: Oh, They're not really battling each other. They're all just trying to get back into shape by practicing.
Ethan: Oh, So they are only practicing.
Kris: Yeah, Like a sparring match between two fighting Pokémon.
Ash: Boy, Oh, Boy. I'd like to see a real battle.
Misty then lets go of Brock's ear.
Misty: I can't believe it. These recovering Pokémon look healthier than lots of healthy Pokémon.
Brock: The research Nurse Joy does here must be amazing. No wonder the Lake Lucid Pokemon Center is famous around the world!
Joy: We've all worked very hard to make the Lake Lucid Center a success. It's to honor my mom and grandmother.
Brock: Nurse Joy, you're without doubt the most awesome Nurse Joy ever! I want your autograph!
Brock then rummages through his backpack.
Brock: Let's see, Your book must be here somewhere.
Joy: I haven't written a book yet, Brock.
Brock looks back at Nurse Joy at that.
Joy: But I'm planning to write one soon, And I think I'm gonna call it, "An Autumn Harvest of Pokémon", Following in my grandmother's and mother's footsteps of course.
Tsubasa: That's amazing.
Chihiro: I can't wait to read yours next!
Nozomi: Me too, Me too!
Rizumu: We'll be waiting.
Meanwhile
Unbeknownst to anyone, Team Rocket spies from the lake in their Tentacruel submarine.
James: I see a couple of Chansey, And a Nurse Joy. She's talking to those heroes.
Jessie: Who cares about Chansey? Let's get that Riolu, Zorua, And Pikachu!
James: Roger.
Wobbuffet pops and cries out in agreement much to Jessie's surprise.
Jessie: Not now, Wobbuffet!
Suddenly, Some tentacles grab the artificial ones on Team Rocket's sub, Pulling it down and revealing that a real Tentacruel grabbed the sub.
Jessie: James, What's going on?! What's happening?!
James: What's that thing saying to us, Meowth?
Meowth: Tentacruel's saying "Hey, How about getting in shape with a little practice battle?"
Jessie and James: Practice battle?
Tentacruel is the first to attack as it uses Supersonic.
Meowth: It's using, Supersonic.
Wobbuffet cries out in agreement.
Meanwhile
Back on the surface, The Chansey lift up Nurse Joy's diving suit.
Nurse Joy: Why don't you come and see the Pokémon Center?
Misty: Oh, We'd love to!
Brock: You bet.
Ash: Let's go.
Pikachu and Togepi cry out in agreement. AS The fourteen Trainers and their Pokémon soon head toward the center, Team Rocket's submarine surfaces, Battered and dented as Team Rocket had swirls in their eyes.
Jessie: That was some practice battle.
James: Just imagine if that would've been a for real battle.
Meowth: We'd be real hurt.
Wobbuffet cries out in agreement as he faints.
Later
Inside the Pokemon Center, Pikachu is being restored.
Joy: Well, That oughta do the trick.
Joy then gives Pikachu back to Ash.
Joy: A Pikachu recharge free of charge.
Ash: That's great. Thanks a lot, Nurse Joy.
Misty: Hey, Brock? Could you hold Togepi for a minute please?
Misty then gives Togepi to Brock.
Misty: Nurse Joy, My Pokémon aren't sick or injured like most of the Pokémon who come here, But, It'd be an honor for us if you could just give them a quick check up.
Joy: Of course. I'd be very happy to.
Misty: Really? I never thought I'd get the chance to have them examined by a real celebrity. Okay, Here they are.
Misty then gets out all her PokéBalls.
Misty: These are all of my water Pokémon.
Nurse Joy soon got worried by that.
Joy: Uh, Wait a minute. Did you say they're water Pokémon?
Misty: That's right. Except for Togepi, All I have are water Pokémon. This one's a Staryu. Here, I'll show you.
Nurse Joy then suddenly backs up in a panic.
Nurse Joy: Keep it away! Whatever you do, Don't let those water Pokémon out of those PokéBalls! Don't let them near me, Don't let them touch me, And whatever you do, Please keep them away from me!
Everyone got confused by this as Misty deadpans.
Ethan: What?
Misty: Excuse me?
Silver: Wow, What's eating her?
Kris: I don't know.
Brock: What's the matter, Nurse Joy? You sound like you're kinda scared.
Nurse Joy: I'm sorry, Maybe I should've mentioned this before, But I....I hate those Pokémon!
Everyone: Wha?
Pikachu cries out in confusion.
Haru: Nurse Joy are you...
Yuki: Afraid of Water Pokémon?
Meanwhile
Team Rocket's sub is on the move again as the water Pokémon move out of the way.
James: I guess we were so humiliated by Tentacruel, The other Pokémon are steering clear of us.
Meowth: Well, At least we found that there's something good about being losers.
Jessie: Say, Maybe we should steal a few of the rare water Pokémon as an extra bonus.
James: Then maybe the boss will give us a bonus.
Jessie: This place must be swimming in sensational Pokémon.
Meowth: Hey, Look at that big hole up ahead! It must be that underwater entrance to that Pokemon Center.
Jessie and James: In we go on tippy-toes.
As Team Rocket heads into the hole, Wobbuffet cries out in agreement.
Jessie: Not now!
Meanwhile
Back inside the Center.
Joy: Sorry. Please keep those things away from me. I absolutely can't stand the sight of those Pokémon!
Ash: I don't understand it. A little while ago, you were holding Pikachu in your arms, Nurse Joy.
Joy: I can handle Electric Pokémon, Poison Pokémon, I even love Bug Pokémon. Any kind of Pokémon except those Awful, Horrible, Terrible Water Pokémon! I wouldn't even touch a water Pokémon...
The Chansey soon bring in Nurse Joy's diving suit.
Joy: Unless I was wearing this special protective suit.
Misty: This can't be. The third generation Nurse Joy of Lake Lucid doesn't like water Pokémon.
Joy: I don't dislike them! I hate them!
Lienus was somewhat surprised at that as they soon look down to Poli who was silent.
Rara: So that explains Poli...
Elijah: You must have sent her fear of Water Pokémon already?
Poli nods in agreement.
Nozomi: I see...
Rizumu: Well Pokémon can sense human emotions.
Tsubasa: But still...
Chihiro: You, A Water Pokémon nurse, And yet you're afraid of them.
Misty: For as long as I can remember, I dreamed about meeting Nurse Joy from Lake Lucid, Then I finally do, And it's a nightmare.
Joy: I really wish you wouldn't feel that way, Misty. I'm very happy to treat every kind of water Pokémon that comes to the Center, Just as long as I don't have to touch them.
Joy then gets into the suit.
Joy: Okay, Let's have a look.
With her feelings hurt, Misty declines Nurse Joy's services.
Misty: I'll take them to another Center.
Joy: Don't be ridiculous. We provide the best water Pokémon care anywhere. Doesn't yours deserve the best?
Misty: But you said you don't like water Pokémon.
Joy: I hope you're not assuming that my personal preferences effect my job performance, Because I can assure you that they don't. I treat all patients equally. Now let's go.
Misty: I'll carry them myself.
Joy: Thanks, Misty, I was hoping you'd say that. It's a little tough to handle those things with these things.
Haru and Yuki got silent as they soon look at each other.
Unison: POKÉMON QUIZ!
Haru: Question! What Pokémon Does Nurse Joy Help Out?
Yuki: Find out at the end of the story!
Unison: Enjoy!
Later
Soon, The Chansey are seen wrapping new bandages around the Goldeen from earlier.
Joy: You did a great job with those bandages, Chansey. Excellent as always. Thanks to my three assistants, I can treat water Pokemon without ever having to lay a hand on them.
Misty: How fortunate you are.
Brock: You sure have a lot of water tanks here, Nurse Joy.
Joy: Water Pokémon can get many different kinds of injuries and illnesses, So over the years, We've developed a number of different kinds of healing water baths to treat them with.
Brock: Wow. No wonder they look so healthy.
Everyone soon spots a Gyarados as it roars and Misty gets worried.
Misty: Hey, Look. A Gyarados.
Ash: As much as you love water Pokemon, Even you have trouble liking Gyarados, Don't you, Misty?
Misty: Yeah. I guess so...
Nurse Joy: Everybody has a certain Pokemon they like, And a certain Pokemon they don't like. And when it comes to Gyarados, No way, José!
Misty: I know.
Nurse Joy: Gyarados have such large, Heavy heads, That it's quite common for them to have neck and back problems.
Brock: I get it. So you have them exercise to build up muscles to support those big heads.
Nurse Joy: That's right. I've studied all kinds of water Pokémon, And I've created special treatments, Special diets, Even special exercises that help each one overcome their illnesses and injuries.
Nurse Joy: I understand water Pokémon, And I'm going to write a book so that others can understand them too.
Misty: Well, I wish you luck, But I think it's a big waste of time.
Joy: Why? What do you mean?
Misty: How can a person understand water Pokémon if she hates them so much that she won't even touch one?
Joy: I never allow my feelings to interfere with my work. I'm a Pokémon nurse, I don't have to cuddle my patients to learn what I have to about them.
Misty: But if you never touch them, How can you ever know what they're really feeling? If you hate water Pokémon so much, Fine. But why do you keep on working with them then? You should learn to like water Pokémon or do something else.
Brock: Wait a minute, Misty. Don't you think you're being a little too hard Nurse Joy?
Misty: You have to understand that I've admired her since I was a kid. I'm a water Pokémon trainer, And I dreamed that one day I'd get to meet the famous Lake Lucid Nurse Joy.
Misty soon began to tear up as Haru and Yuki sadden at this along with the rest of Lienus.
Misty: And if I was really lucky, I might get to visit her Pokemon Center and have her examine my Pokemon for me. And now, At last, I'm finally here and she won't even come near my Pokémon...
Rara: I don't disagree with Misty. Poli is very important to me and to meet someone who hates her because she's a certain type, I wouldn't like that either. But there's nothing I can do about it really.
Elijah: Rara...
Haru: Everyone has something they're afraid of.
Yuki: Yeah, That includes Pokémon and their types.
Misty grips her PokéBall and turns to Haru and Yuki madly.
Misty: How would you know?! You love all Pokémon!
Ash: Misty-!
Haru: You're wrong, There's one Pokémon I absolutely despise.
Everyone looked at Haru as that as he walks over to the pool and crouches down looking down to the lake.
Haru: I'm sure some of you can remember about the time when I was attacked by a Zangoose right? Where my family's Arcanine saved my when it was Growlithe?
Ash, Misty, And Brock nodded while the others looked at Yuki in confusion as he nods.
Haru: Well... After that experience, I completely was terrified of Zangoose...
(Flashbacks)
We now see a couple of years ago back when Haru was little and got cornered to a tree by a Zangoose being petrified by the sight of it.
We now see a couple of years later an eleven year old Haru and Yuki together with Riolu and Zorua. As they soon spot a Zangoose battling a Linoone as Haru got frightened and hides behind Yuki much to his confusion as Haru tears up and shakes in fear.
(Flashback Over)
Haru: I never went near one and when I even saw a Trainer's Zangoose in battle... I freeze up instantly... Just the thought of them... Leaves me petrified...
Yuki came up to Haru and got down to hug him.
Yuki: I'm the same too... If there's one Pokémon in this world I could erase from existence, It's Seviper.
Ethan: Seviper?
Silver: The fang snake Pokémon, And it shares a lifetime fued with Zangoose.
Yuki: Yeah... I was attacked by one when my family and I went on a picnic...
(Flashback)
We now see the Takamura family together as Yuki was a distance from his family looking at some Zigzagoon by some bushes which suddenly rustle.
The Zigzagoon got frightened and ran away much to Yuki's confusion as coming out of the bushes hissing was a Seviper as Yuki screams in fear catching his family's attention.
Yuki fell to the ground and tries to hack up and Seviper pins Yuki in place by having its fangs on the ground with Yuki's leg in the middle as Yuki tears up and shivers while whimpering.
Then suddenly, Happiny came and punched Seviper causing it to run away as Yuki's older siblings and his mother rushed over to him and Akari embraces her frightened youngest boy who cries quietly.
(Flashback Over)
Yuki: I was traumatized by the sight of it almost bitting off my leg... I never went near one ever again.
The other twelve Trainers and their Pokémon saddened at this reveal as Riolu and Zorua hugged their Trainers in comfort who soon picked them up while they stood up and turned back to Nurse Joy.
Haru: I'm sure you have your reasons too.
Yuki: Yeah, I get the feeling you had a traumatic experience too, With Water Pokémon.
Nurse Joy nods sadly at that.
Joy: I'm very sorry to disappoint you, Misty. And, Believe me, I wish I felt differently. I didn't start out hating water Pokemon. In fact, When I was a little girl, I loved them.
Misty got confused by that.
Joy: But then, One day on the lake, everything changed.
Nurse Joy explains that she was in a boat with her mother to investigate an increase in Lake Lucid's Remoraid numbers. Suddenly, A Remoraid appeared and squirted her in the face, Causing her to fall into the water. Joy soon found herself surrounded by a school of Remoraid, And while she was eventually returned to the boat, the incident left her fearful of all Water Pokémon.
Nozomi: So that's what happened...
Rizumu: I'm so sorry for you.
Chihiro: I guess anyone would have been left terrified of that experience as a child.
Tsubasa: Yeah, I really wouldn't like that either if that happened to me.
Joy: But, I did it. I grew up and continued the work my mother and grandmother started. I may never be as great as they were, But I do the best job I can to honor both of them.
Misty: I'm sorry, Nurse Joy, But I don't think doing a job you hate honors anybody.
Silver: Misty!
Joy: I don't hate my job, Misty. I love Lake Lucid and I'm able to treat all kinds of sick and injured Pokémon, Unfortunately for me, They're always all kinds of water Pokémon. But a Pokémon nurse does what she has to, And that's what makes me happy.
Haru and Yuki smiled and nodded at that. Then suddenly, Team Rocket's submarine surfaces, Catching everyone's attention.
Jessie: We made it! Good driving. We've entered the world of water Pokémon!
James: Jessie, The twerps are here, too.
Jessie: They are?
Ash: Hey, What's that thing?
Joy: It's a fake! A fake Tentacruel! What's going on here?!
Motto Skip
Ash: Not you again!
Elijah: Team Rocket!
Rara: The old lady again...
Jessie: What did you call me, You little brat?! I am not old! Ugh. Anyway, I'm very thankful there are so many tankfuls of Pokémon. But you know what they say, James, First thing's first.
James: And that means Riolu, Zorua, And Pikachu!
As Team Rocket hops into their submarine.
Jessie: Ready?
James: Set.
Meowth: Go!
The Tentacruel sub tries to grab the three Pokémon but they just leap away just in time.
Jessie: Nice try, But this mechanical Tentacruel has more legs than a chorus line and we get a kick out of every single one.
James: One for the money, Two for the show.
Jessie: We're gonna grab you and never let go!
The three Pokémon are soon snared by several tentacles as James and Jessie speak.
Ash: Pikachu, Use your Thunderbolt attack!
Pikachu uses Thunderbolt but and James just laughs.
James: Your Thunderbolt has no effect on rubber Tentacruel!
Jessie: Then what's that tingling sensation?
Meowth: Come to think of it, We did just come out of the water.
Jessie: And doesn't water conduct electricity?
James: In a way, I suppose so.
Wobbuffett cries out in agreement as Team Rocket soon feels the electrical power.
Jessie: We should be wearing rubber too!
James: That comes as a shock!
Wobbuffett cries out in agreement.
The tentacles break off the sub and a piece of one flies off and nails the tank Gyarados is in before hitting the drainage button in the pool Team Rocket came out of.
Team Rocket: Down the drain again!
Meanwhile, The Gyarados tank cracks further, Causing water to gush out and washing the suit into the pool.
Joy: Ah, There goes my suit!
As Nurse Joy talks, Brock goes to block the drain by pressing a button.
Brock: We're too late, It's gone!
The Gyarados then busts out of the tank.
Misty: Oh no! The Gyarados is out!
The Gyarados then breaks the brace around its neck.
Joy: We gotta do something before it injures itself even more!
Ash: Pikachu and I'll handle this!
Ash then tries to rush in.
Brock: Ash, It's too dangerous! That Gyarados is confused and it's in pain! It might lash out at a stranger!
Misty: But we can't stand by, We have to do something!
Nurse Joy then steps forward.
Joy: Gyarados is my responsibility.
Everyone turns to Nurse Joy at that.
Ash: Hold on, Nurse Joy. You can't do it.
Brock: Leave this to us, We'll handle it.
Joy: I can't. Neither of you has tried to calm a Gyarados in pain. You may be great Pokémon Trainers, But neither of you is a trained nurse.
Brock: Well, That's true.
Joy: That's why, I have to be the one to deal with that Gyarados. And so I will.
Misty: But, Nurse Joy, You won't be able to. Your work suit just got washed away and you'll have to touch Gyarados with your bare hands.
Joy: This is an emergency, And nurses don't get to pick and choose their patients. It's a nurse's duty to heal the sick, Whoever they may be!
Nurse Joy then walks toward the Gyarados.
Joy: I can't focus on how I feel about water Pokemon. But if I can just stay focused on the fact that I'm a nurse like my grandmother and my mother, And no matter what my feelings are, I have a duty to help and heal all Pokémon! I can do this!
Nurse Joy then comes nears the Gyarados.
Joy: I have the be strong. I have to help this poor Gyarados. If I touch it the right way, It'll calm down.
Nurse Joy then touches Gyarados' head crest.
Joy: Please, Gyarados, I'm here to help.
Gyarados soon calms down to the amazement of the group.
Misty: Wow. She did it.
Brock: She sure knows how to handle a Gyarados.
Ash: She's got real guts.
Pikachu cries out in agreement.
Joy: Alright, Chansey, let's get ready! Bring in the brace!
The Chansey do so as Gyarados breaths on Nurse Joy.
Joy: Ah. Put it on, Chansey! There's no Pokémon that's better than any other. There's no Pokémon that's worse than any other. They're all precious creatures.
Ash: Hey. That sounds like something I heard somewhere before.
Brock: Every Pokemon trainer should know that saying, Ash. It comes from her grandmother's book, "A Spring Without Pokemon".
Joy: The song of every Pokémon is sweet if you can hear it.
Misty: And you know what that's from, Brock? That's one of my favorite lines from "A Summer of Muk", The book Nurse Joy's mother wrote.
But Gyarados continues breathing even heavier this time as Nurse Joy was a little frightened. Then, Chihiro, Tsubasa, Nozomi, And Rizumu looked at each other and nodded before rushing over to Nurse Joy and Gyarados much to the others surprise.
Ash: Guys wait!
The four Idols soon got into a row being a little near Nurse Joy and Gyarados before they soon took a breath.
Unison: Tudutu,
Tudududu.
Tudutu,
Haa~
The other Trainers were in awe at the four harmonizing beautifully together as Nurse Joy looks at this.
Joy: The hymn my grandmother created... And shared to my mother, Then me...
Unison: La la la la la la la,
La la la la la.
La la la la la,
La la la la la la la la.
Chihiro and Rizumu: La la la la la la la la la la.
Tsubasa and Nozomi: (Ooh~)
Chihiro and Rizumu: La la la la la la la la la la la.
Tsubasa and Nozomi: (Ooh~)
Unison: La la la la la,
La la la.
La la la la la,
La la la la la la la.
Tsubasa and Nozomi: La la la la la la la la la.
Chihiro and Rizumu: (Ooh~)
Tsubasa and Nozomi: La la la la la la.
Chihiro and Rizumu: (Ooh~)
Unison: La la la.
After hearing the beautiful hymn, The Gyarados soon calms down again as Nurse Joy sighs with relief.
Joy: You'll be just fine. You all did a wonderful job. Now take this Gyarados to another water tank please.
The Chansey agree as Nurse Joy walks toward the group.
Joy: Well, Misty.
Misty: Yes, Nurse Joy?
Joy: I'd still like to give your Water Pokémon a full examination. Maybe...
Then suddenly, Nurse Joy suddenly faints as Brock catches her.
Brock: Nurse Joy!
Rara: Oh no.
Elijah: What's the matter with her?
Brock: She just fainted.
Ash: Guess it must've hit her all at once.
Brock: Well, Rest, Nurse Joy. You deserve it.
Misty: She sure does, Brock.
The four Idols soon came up to the others who turned to them.
Haru: You four did wonderfully.
Yuki: That harmonizing is proof you'd be a great quartet.
The four Idols smiled at each other at that.
Tsubasa: You're right.
Nozomi: Mightily right!
Chihiro: And as soon as Nurse Joy wakes up...
Rizumu: We'll start right away!
Later
Nurse Joy was awake as she and the other ten Trainers and their Pokémon were in front of a stage while the other four Idols were behind with their unit cards in their hands.
Tsubasa: Let's do it.
Nozomi: Yeah.
Rizumu: The four of us.
Chihiro: Together, We are...
Unison: Cu4tro!
Cu4tro then ran up to their fitting rooms and holds up their cards. As they then inserted their cards and ran up into their fitting rooms as they soon make it to the runway. As Cu4tro finished getting dressed into their Unit Coords, They soon struck a pose.
Cu4tro soon appeared on stage together as the others applauded them.
ENJOY IT!
As Cu4tro harmonizes, They were soon surrounded by their auras.
Rizumu: Alright!
Daijoubu sa,
Tama ni wa tayotta tte OK!
Chihiro: Kaze ga!
Hada surinuke,
Gokochi ii Rhythm kikoeta yo!
Tsubasa: Konna ni hiroi sekai de,

Nozomi: Be yourself sorezore no katachi ga,

Near the end of the song, Along with their Pokémon, The four all link hands before flying through the scenery with glittering trails in the Idols colors beneath them. They join together after flying past flowers that are scattered everywhere before posing at the end, Surrounded by flowers with white centers fading out into yellow. The four performed their Special Unit Appeal: Quartet Flower Flight!
Unison: Nandodemo Shake it! Shake it! Shake it!
The world is amazing!
Let's make it! Make it! Make it!
Jiyuu ni,

Minna de tanoshimou☆,
Mou wakuwaku ga,

Song Over
Everyone else applauds Cu4tro for their performance as Elijah was looking at the views from the Livestream.
Elijah: Wow, Everyone loves them!
Ash: I'll bet.
Haru: A collaboration of Royal Rocks and Rhythm Hope Sisters.
Yuki: Together they make an incredible unit, Cu4tro.
Rara: Yeah, Forming a unit with someone can be a new challenge.
Rara's eyes move towards Elijah who was smiling bright as Cu4tro. As the four Idols wave thankfully at their friends.
Later
The fourteen Trainers and their Pokémon prepare to take their leave.
Joy: I'm sorry, Misty. I wasn't able to touch your water Pokémon.
Misty: Oh, That's alright. I'm really grateful you could examine them for me.
Joy: All of them are in top physical condition. They have an excellent trainer.
Misty: I'll try to do my best. Nurse Joy, Is it still true?
Nurse Joy got confused by that.
Misty: Now that you touched Gyarados, Do you still feel the same about water Pokémon?
Nurse Joy soon looks down sadly.
Joy: Yes, Misty. I still do. And will for the rest of my life.
Nurse Joy then looks up smiling again.
Joy: But that won't stop me. I have a job to do and a Pokémon Center to run and a book to write!
Misty: As soon as that book comes out, I'm gonna buy a copy.
Togepi chirps happily in agreement
Ash: Me too.
Brock: I'll buy two copies if you autograph em.
Pikachu cries out in agreement.
Tsubasa: Do your best Nurse Joy.
Chihiro: Totally.
Nozomi: We'll be looking forward to the book.
Rizumu: And you can bet that Cu4tro will sponsor that book when it comes out.
Nurse Joy smiles at that as Haru and Yuki look at the four with smiles on their faces along with Riolu and Zorua. As later, Everyone makes their leave.
Everyone: Bye!
Nurse Joy: Bye!
Though Joy may never like water Pokémon, Her commitment to caring for all Pokemon will always overcome her personal feelings. She's taught our friends about doing the things we like and doing the things we must. It's a lesson that will truly inspire them on their journey to the Johto League and beyond. What other kinds of challenges await them? Stay tune...
As the journey continues...
