NARRATOR: As the Floarama Town Pokémon Contest draws near,

Ash and Pikachu are providing Dawn and her Pokémon with some

formidable training partners!

DAWN: Pachirisu, use Discharge!

PACHIRISU: [DISCHARGE MOVE]

ASH: Just stay put! PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PACHIRISU: [SURPRISED]

DAWN: I was afraid Discharge wouldn't work on Pikachu!

THERESA: Wow, if I could only borrow you for just

days.Won't you please let me do that?!

BROCK: I would!

ASH: Sorry, but I'm not followin' you.

THERESA: Oh, of course you're not! Let me explain.

THERESA: I'm Theresa! And just down this road, I run a cake

shop with my Aunt Abigail!

ASH: My name's Ash!

DAWN: Hi! I'm Dawn!

BROCK: I'm Brock!

BROCK: Of course sweets for the sweet!

I'm sure that any ofyour tasty cakes

would stop me in my tracks!

BROCK: So to speak. Among other things.

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

ASH: I wonder where Croagunk takes them...

Cooking Up A Sweet Story!

THERESA: See, my Aunt Abigail makes the greatest cakes in the

whole world!

THERESA: She's been making all of those cakes for years

with her partner - a Pikachu she named Sugar!

THERESA: But something strange happened recently, and Sugar

suddenly disappeared...

THERESA: Poor Aunt Abigail and I looked everywhere for Sugar

but found nothing!

THERESA: So when I saw you, I thought

maybe your Pikachu could pretend to be Sugar, see?

ASH: Pretend?

THERESA: Aunt Abigail's to be in a bake off contest

days from now!

I just know your Pikachu would really help her!

ASH: But won't she be able to tell the difference?

THERESA: All your Pikachu has to do is simply scratch its head

with its tail every once in a while!

PIKACHU: [CURIOUS]

THERESA: That's it! That's just what Sugar always does!

BROCK: Then, when your Aunt Abigail sees that she'll think

it's really Sugar!

DAWN: Wow, this just might work!

ASH: It's a deal! Let's give it a try!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

THERESA: Thank you both! I owe you!

ABIGAIL: Welcome...

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

ABIGAIL: Sugar? You've come back home!

THERESA: Isn't it great? Thanks to Ash and his friends.

They found Sugar!

ABIGAIL: You did? Thank you.Thank you so much!

ASH: No prob!

DAWN: We're just glad we were able to find Pika

I mean, Sugar.

ABIGAIL: Yes, welcome!

PIKACHU: [GREETING] CUSTOMER A [M]: Sugar!

CUSTOMER B [F]: We're so glad to see you again!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

CUSTOMER A: With Sugar back you've got to win the bake off

just like last year!

ABIGAIL: That's sweet.but we'll see.

BROCK: It's working like a charm!

THERESA: Sure is! Aunt Abby's back to her old self again!

ASH: That's awesome.

DAWN: And not only that who knew that Pikachu

would be ableto act so well?

ABIGAIL: Theresa? I'm going out,

so could you keep an eye on the shop?

THERESA: Sure! You have fun.

ABIGAIL: Ready to go, dear?

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

THERESA: That's just what I was hoping for!

THERESA: She's going to buy supplies.

THERESA: To make her famous contest winning cake!

JESSIE: We're flush with bales of berries!

JAMES: To produce piles of Pokéblock!

MEOWTH: Those Contest Pokémon

gotta eat so we'll bring the treat!

MEOWTH: Man that's some zap.

JESSIE: A jolt from a Thunderbolt?

JAMES: And how! From the looks of it that was

Class A electronics!

MEOWTH: Looked like Pika -power to me.

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

ABIGAIL: Thank you, Sugar. It's just the perfect shade of brown!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

ABIGAIL: So, what other kind of berries should we go for next?

JESSIE: That has to be the Pika twerp!

JAMES: But the name Sugar keeps being bandied about.

JESSIE: A rose by any other name!

MEOWTH: Call Pikachu Gertrude if you like and we'll

still get rich!

JAMES: Right! Point taken!

DAWN: Yummm!

DAWN: The sweet taste of roasted berries is delicious!

THERESA: Isn't it? And using Pikachu's Thunderbolt

is the best method to get that unique flavor!

BROCK: Who knew? I can't wait to go try out that

technique for myself!

ASH: Wow, Pikachu's never done anything like this before...

ASH: I think I'm gonna go have a look!

ABIGAIL: Well now, Sugar, this should be plenty!

ABIGAIL: So, shall we head on home?

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JESSIE: On one condition! ABIGAIL: [SURPRISED]

JAMES: You and those berries may leave.

MEOWTH: But the Pikachu stays put!

PIKACHU: [ANGRY]

ABIGAIL: Heaven sakes! Who are you?

JESSIE: Listen, is that a seasoned citizen's voice I hear?

JAMES: It speaks to me loud and clear!

- JESSIE: On the wind! - JAMES: Past the stars!

MEOWTH: In your ear!

JESSIE: Bringing chaos at a break neck pace!

- MEOWTH: Cool! - JAMES: Dashing hope,

putting fear in its place!

JESSIE: A rose by any other name's just as sweet!

JAMES: When everything's worse our work is complete!

- JESSIE: Jessie! - JAMES: James!

MEOWTH: Meowth, that's a name!

JESSIE: Putting the do gooders in their place!

JAMES: We're Team Rocket.

JESSIE: And we're in your face!

WOBUFFETT: [EXCITED]

MIME JR: [EXCITED]

ABIGAIL: Team Rocket? PIKACHU: [ANGRY]

JESSIE: Just relax.

JAMES: It's not you.

MEOWTH: It's Pikachu!

ASH: It's Team Rocket!

THERESA: Team who it?

DAWN: They're the bad guys! Not the smartest though.

ASH: We've got to help out Abigail!

THERESA: Hold on!

THERESA: Watch this! Auntie can take care of herself.

ABIGAIL: I'm very sorry but you can't have Sugar!

ABIGAIL: You see, we're a team!

JESSIE: How quaint.

JAMES: We have great respect for our elders however.

MEOWTH: It's crunch time!

JESSIE: Seviper, let's go!

SEVIPER: [APPEARING]

ABIGAIL: All right. Dash, Sugar! PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

PIKACHU: [EXERTION] SEVIPER: [CONFUSED]

JESSIE: Go, Seviper! SEVIPER: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ABIGAIL: Now, Thunderbolt straight up!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

SEVIPER: [BITE MOVE] SEVIPER: [PAINED]

BROCK: Those Aspear Berries are hard as rocks!

DAWN: That's why Pikachu stopped there!

ASH: What a strategy!

ABIGAIL: Now, Sugar! Use Thunderbolt on Seviper!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

SEVIPER: [SHOCKED]

JESSIE: A senior moment!

SEVIPER: [SHOCKED]

ABIGAIL: Sugar, you were wonderful!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

THERESA: Aunt Abigail!

THERESA: I see you haven't lost any of your battling skills.

ABIGAIL: Oh dear! Were you watching me?

ASH: Was your Aunt Abigail a Pokémon Trainer?

THERESA: She competed in the Grand Festival!

DAWN: That's awesome!

ABIGAIL: Thank you,

but those things are all ancient historyas well!

Sugar deserves all the credit for today!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

ABIGAIL: And that reminds me - you're going for the Sinnoh

League, aren't you Ash?

ASH: Yeah! And my next battle's going to be at the Eterna Gym!

ABIGAIL: Then would you care to battle with me?

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

ABIGAIL: Of course I'll be working with Sugar.

How about it?

THERESA: I'm not sure it's a good idea Auntie.

ABIGAIL: Why? I'm sure you're training hard to get ready

for your next bout. And that's just what this would be!

ASH: Uh I guess.

THERESA: Uh.The battle between Ash and Aunt Abigail

is about to get underway!

DAWN: Brock I don't like this one bit.

BROCK: Me too.

ABIGAIL: So, what Pokémon will you be using today Ash?

ASH: Man I don't wanna battle against Pikachu!

ASH: But if I don't Abigail will know something is up!

PIKACHU: [NERVOUS]

ASH: Okay, Aipom, I choose you!

AIPOM: [APPEARING]

AIPOM: [CONFUSED]

ASH: Aipom! A battle is a battle!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

AIPOM: [SURPRISED] PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

ABIGAIL: I've got a few tricks left up my sleeves.

ABIGAIL: Do you?

ASH: She's the real deal all right.

I'm going to have to stop goofing around and get serious!

PIKACHU: [NERVOUS] ASH: Look out, Buddy.

ASH: Aipom! Focus Punch, rapid fire!

AIPOM: [FOCUS PUNCH MOVE] ABIGAIL: Dodge, Sugar!

PIKACHU: [EXERTION] AIPOM: [FOCUS PUNCH MOVE]

AIPOM: [FOCUS PUNCH MOVE][EXERTION]

PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

AIPOM: [FOCUS PUNCH MOVE]

PIKACHU: [SCARED] ASH: Oh no!

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED] ABIGAIL: Enough!

AIPOM: [CONFUSED]

ABIGAIL: I'm im pressed! You're strong, Aipom!

No sense going on since we've lost.

ABIGAIL: Ash, I had a feeling about you dear.

ABIGAIL: You're a good boy. A good boy.

ABIGAIL: Theresa, thank you for refereeing!

- THERESA: Sure! - ABIGAIL: Well!

Sugar, shall we go?

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: But why?

DAWN: I wonder what kind of cake Abigail's going to make for

the bake off.

THERESA: Good question!

THERESA: Whatever it is she's making it now!

Along with your Pikachu, of course.

ASH: I'm worried when your Aunt learns the truth

she's gonna be sad!

BROCK: Me too...

DAWN: But you know but we can't just leave Pikachuhere

with her forever...

THERESA: Hey, don't worry! After she wins first prize in the

bakeoff she's going to feel a whole lot better

then you can go!

ASH: Yeah, but in our battle I think that she quit early

because of Pi I mean because of how much Sugar means to her.

I'm starting to have a bad feeling about the bake off now.

Really bad!

THERESA: But, Ash...

ASH: The thing is, I really wanted to help your Aunt

get over being sad, but we're not telling the truth!

I'm sorry but I've got to set the

record straight once and for all!

BROCK: Ash, wait!

- DAWN: Where are you going? - THERESA: Oh, Ash...

ABIGAIL: Isn't the full moon just lovely tonight, Sugar?

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

ABIGAIL: It was on a beautiful night just

like this when you disappeared back then.

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

PIKACHU: [NERVOUS]

ASH: Abigail!

ASH: I've got something I need to say!

ABIGAIL: Now let me guess.

ABIGAIL: This is actually your Pikachu, Ash... Is that right?

THERESA: So you already knew?!

ABIGAIL: Yes, dear. Pikachu did a fine job on this,

but Sugar never did it in exactly the same way!

ASH: Well what do you know.

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

ABIGAIL: To tell the truth

we actually know why Sugar disappeared.

THERESA: Aunt Abigail!

ABIGAIL: Sugar and I were discussing this year's bake off

and how I wanted to make a cake even more delicious

than last year's.

ABIGAIL: I said I wanted to use these Aspear Berries.

ABIGAIL: But try as Sugar might you see Sugar's Thunderbolt

couldn't crack the berries open and I kept asking Sugar to

please try and find a way!

THERESA: Then Sugar left to go find some way to do what my

aunt had asked.

ABIGAIL: You've all been very kind to me

and I'm more grateful than words can ever express!

ABIGAIL: Now, I feel much better having spent

this wonderful dayalong with your Pikachu!

ASH: Glad to help.

PIKACHU: [SCARED]

ASH: Pikachu! PIKACHU: [PANICKED]

JAMES: Good things come to those who wait!

- BROCK: Team Rocket! - THERESA: Not you guys again!

ASH: Pikachu! Quick, Thunderbolt!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

JESSIE: Well, what'd you think?

JAMES: That this time we'd let you zap us to kingdom come?

MEOWTH: Dumb, even for you!

JESSIE: But, so what else is new?

ASH: You're not getting away!

- BROCK: Ash, no! - THERESA: Come back!

ABIGAIL: Come on! Let's get after them in the van!

THERESA: Right!

ASH: Staravia! Wing att*cks non stop!

STARAVIA: [WING ATTACK MOVE]

JESSIE: Those wings are going to wear down into little nubs!

JAMES: What a bunch of schlubs!

MEOWTH: Yeah! They've got no idea this babe is hard as an

Aspear Berry!

MEOWTH: And of course the name Aspear Rock

might be a giveaway.

DAWN: That thing's strong!

BROCK: Staravia's Wing Attack is having no effect at all!

STARAVIA: [WING ATTACK MOVE]

ASH: Then let them try this! Staravia maximum power

Aerial Ace let's go!

STARAVIA: [AERIAL ACE MOVE]

JESSIE: There should be a law against stubborn twerps!

JAMES: But there's no law against giving a twerp the

brush off right?

MEOWTH: Not in my book!

JESSIE: All right, Jack.

JESSIE: Get off my back!

ABIGAIL: Ash, no! STARAVIA: [AERIAL ACE MOVE]

MEOWTH: Okay the beak gets it! STARAVIA: [SCARED]

STARAVIA: [PAINED]

ASH: Oh no! Staravia!

JAMES: Served them right!

JESSIE: Twerps need discipline!

MEOWTH: Long as we win!

JESSIE: See you all again!

ASH: Staravia, return!

STARAVIA: [WEAK]

- DAWN: Ash! - BROCK: You okay?

ASH: Yeah... but Pikachu!

THERESA: We've got a problem!

THERESA: My van won't make it down that cliff!

DAWN: What do we do?

ABIGAIL: The nerve of those three.

ABIGAIL: I'll get you yet!

ABIGAIL: You will not have Pikachu!

JAMES: Can't see a thing!

MEOWTH: Can't move a thing neither!

JESSIE: Who turned on the lights?

ASH: Looks like a Thunderbolt!

DAWN: But it can't be Pikachu it's coming from the outside!

BROCK: And what power!

SUGAR: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

ASH: It's a Raichu!

DAWN: Raichu? You sure?

ABIGAIL: Raichu? Could it really be...

SUGAR: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

SUGAR: [HAPPY]

ABIGAIL: Sugar, it is you!

ASH: Sugar?

THERESA: Sugar evolved into Raichu?

JESSIE: No wonder that Thunderbolt

thundered and thumped!

JAMES: I say we rethink this let's cast a wider net!

MEOWTH: You bet! Raichu's who I'm gonna get!

ABIGAIL: Sugar, look out!

SUGAR: [FOCUS PUNCH MOVE]

SUGAR: [ANGRY]

DAWN: Hey, that was Focus Punch!

THERESA: Sugar's been learning all sorts of new things!

ABIGAIL: Sugar! Go rescue the Pikachu they stole!

SUGAR: [AFFIRMATIVE]

SUGAR: [FOCUS PUNCH MOVE]

JESSIE: Uh.Are we hard enough?

JAMES: Like a rock!

MEOWTH: I put everything I know

into making this masterful machine!

JESSIE: That works for me!

SUGAR: [FOCUS PUNCH MOVE]

JESSIE: Meowth?

MEOWTH: I put everything I know into this!

JAMES: That doesn't work for me!

SUGAR: [EXERTION]

SUGAR: [HAPPY]

PIKACHU: [THANKFUL]

THERESA: Sugar went through that armor like it was paper!

DAWN: That was some Focus Punch!

ASH: Hey thanks, Sugar!

ABIGAIL: And now just like old times Sugar use Thunderbolt!

SUGAR: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

JESSIE: Never will we build another machine in house!

JAMES: Think of the money we saved!

MEOWTH: You know how much flying costs these days?

WOBUFFETT: [AGREEING]

JESSIE: We're blasting off again!

ABIGAIL: And here we are!

DAWN: Yummy!

ASH: If that isn't a first prize cake I don't know what is!

ABIGAIL: Thank you!

THERESA: It's filled with those roasted Aspear Berries!

Then they were pulverized using Focus Punch!

ABIGAIL: Please! Have a piece!

BROCK: Or maybe two!

ASH: Wow. That's good!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

BROCK: There's something about the tartness

of the AspearBerries that just hits the spot!

DAWN: That first prize is as good as yours!

ABIGAIL: You're all very kind.

THERESA: And to think Sugar learned Focus Punch

to be able to open those Aspear Berries, and now look!

SUGAR: [PLEASED]

BROCK: Sugar, you were great!

DAWN: Whoa, now I know in my next

Contest I'll win first prize too!

ASH: Yeah, that's it!

You keep on thinking that way, and you'llhave to win it!

PIKACHU: [CHEERING]

DAWN: You're right, Ash! It's a deal!

NARRATOR: A kind woman with big dreams of her own, and her

dedicated Raichu have given our heroes another example of how

dedication and affection can work miracles in the world of
