(Unknown to them, Team Rocket is able to escape.)
(from being tied up to see Mew and her friends having fun with the Gym Leader, the employees, and the Pokemon.)
(They are able to sneak back in to see the Gym Leader and the girls are busy with their own activities to worry about them.)
(Jessie chuckles and says.)
Jessie: "While those clueless little twerps create a distraction, we'll steal the secret perfume formula."
James: "Let's go,"
(James says.)
(With that, Team Rocket heads off to find the perfume formula.)
(Then Meowth asks.)
Meowth: "Just one question."
(Then brings out a bomb.)
Meowth: "What am I supposed to do with this blaster bomb?"
Jessie: "Stick it someplace where it'll make a nice, big kaboom!"
(Jessie says.)
(Meowth laughs and leaves the scene.)
Meowth: "They'll get a bang out of this!"
James: "Jessie, what's the blaster bomb for?"
(James asks.)
Jessie: "Sweet revenge for stamping an 'X' on the most beautiful face in the world,"
(Jessie says.)
James: "Talk about delusion,"
(James says.)
Jessie: "What?"
(Jessie sounded angry.)
(James quickly says.)
James: "Er, I mean, that will teach those slobs!"
(The two then laugh as they head off to find the perfume formula.)
(Meanwhile, Mew along with her friends and the employees and Pokemon of the gym are listening to the story.)
(Erika continues the story.)
Erika: "And so, Omanyte bid farewell and promised to one day return to visit the friends who changed his life on that far away beach. The end."
(Everyone, humans and Pokemon give their applause for the story.)
(Brock is in tears.)
Brock: "Great story."
Pikachu: "Pika." (Great story.)
(Pikachu says.)
Eevee: "Eev," (Yeah.)
(Eevee says.)
(Shaymin, Bounsweet, and the other Pokemon like it too.)
(Misty then asks.)
Misty: "May I ask you a question?"
Erika: "Of course you may, Misty,"
(Erika says.)
Misty: "I was wondering why we can all sit with Gloom! I always thought that because of its terrible smell, it was almost impossible to get anywhere near Gloom,"
(Misty replies.)
Mew: "Oh, I hang around with Gloom fine, and I don't have any trouble with their smell,"
(Mew says.)
Misty: "That may be, but I still wonder how we can be near Gloom at all."
(Misty replies.)
Erika: That's a very smart question, Misty,"
(Erika says.)
(She walks to her Gloom and kneels down to it.)
Erika: "Gloom doesn't have a bad smell all the time. Whenever Gloom is in danger, it lets out the bad smell. It's a natural defense mechanism. But as long as Gloom doesn't feel threatened it smells just fine."
Mew: "How do you know that?"
(Mew asks, curiously.)
Erika: "I met Gloom a long time ago."
(Erika says.)
[Flashback...]
(She then remembers the day she and Gloom meet.)
(Erika is a little girl and is backed against the wall by a purple sludge Pokemon that has a face and a large mouth.)
(Erika explains.)
Erika: "When I was a little girl, I got lost one day and ran into a Grimer. I'd never been so scared. I couldn't even move."
(Little Erika is so frightened until she sees a Gloom walking by.)
(Little Erika cries out.)
Little Erika: "Please can you help me? Please help me!"
(Gloom looks to see Little Erika and can see how scared she of the Grimer and worries that it might attack her.)
(Erika continues to explain her story.)
Erika: "Somehow that Gloom understood how scared I felt and decided to come to my rescue."
(Gloom then sprays its strong smell that is enough to scare Grimer away.)
(Erika then hugs Gloom with glee as the Pokemon begins to blush.)
Erika: "I love you,"
(Erika happily says.)
(Gloom smiles.)
Gloom: "Gloom."
[Flashback Ends...]
(Erika says.)
Erika: "This is the same Gloom that rescued me from Grimer that day. We've been friends ever since."
The girl: "It's all because of her friendship with Gloom that Erika decided to become a Grass Pokemon trainer,"
(The girl with green pigtails says.)
Misty: "That's so sweet,"
(Misty says.)
Brock: "It's a great story,"
(Brock says.)
Mew: "It sure is,"
(Mew says.)
(Then turns to Eevee.)
Mew: "To be honest, hearing your story has got me thinking."
Misty: "Thinking of what?"
(Misty asks.)
Mew: "On how Eevee and I first met."
(Mew says.)
Brocks: "Really?"
(Brocks asks, confused.)
(Then Misty says.)
Misty: "Come to think of it, I know you got Pikachu from Professor Oak, but what about Eevee?"
Mew: "Right, I never told you about it, huh. Well, like Erika's situation, Eevee actually saved me. In fact, Eevee actually saved my life,"
(Mew says.)
[Flashback: 3 Years Ago]
(In the forest clearing outside of Pallet Town Forest, young Mew at the age of seven is walking through the forest picking berries.)
Mew: "I was in the forest picking different berries and herbs to make some medicine for the Pokemon. However, I well, accidentally stepped on the head of a Vileplume,"
(Mew explains.)
(Young Mew continues to pick berries and walk down the path.)
(However, when she takes a step to go down, it turns out it's Vileplume's head.)
(The Pokemon becomes startled and accidentally stuns her with Poison Powder, and runs away as Mew falls to the ground.)
(As she falls, she twists her ankle.)
(She struggles to move, but begins to lose consciousness.)
Mew: "Vileplume accidentally sprayed Poison Powder on me and ran away. I ended up twisting my ankle as well. I couldn't move because of the poison powder,"
(Mew explains.)
(Young Mew then notices a Pokemon walking over.)
(She softly says.)
Young Mew: "Please…. Please help me."
Mew: "I didn't know it then, but the Pokemon is Eevee. Eevee sensed I was in trouble and quickly gave me a Pecha Berry for me to eat,"
(Mew says.)
(Eevee brings the pecha berry to Mew and softly eats small bites of it.)
(Soon she is no longer poisoned.)
(And Eevee hurries away as Mew closes her eyes.)
(The next moment she opens her eyes, she sees her father, Zeraora, little Eevee, and Chansey using the move, Heal Pulse.)
(Mew then explains.)
Mew: "When I woke up, I realized I was in my home which is a cave. According to papa, Eevee hurried to find help and he just happened to run into him. Eevee has bring my father to me and quickly bring Chansey to help me feel better."
(Young Mew hugs Eevee and says.)
Young Mew: "I love you."
Eevee: "Eevee,"
(Eevee happily says.)
[Flashback Ends...]
(Mew pets Eevee on her head.)
Mew: "Since then, Eevee and I have always been together."
Misty: "That is very brave of Eevee,"
(Misty says.)
Eevee: "Eevee," (Thank you.)
(Eevee says.)
Mew: "Eevee says thank you,"
(Mew says.)
Brock: "Your Eevee sure is amazing. Glad she's with us now,"
(Brock says.)
Mew: "Thanks,"
(Mew says.)
(Then turns to Erika.)
Mew: "So um, Erika, do you think we can have our gym battle? If you're not busy."
(Erika smiles and nods her head.)
Erika: "Of course Mew, I will accept your challenge. However, I'm not going to go easy on you."
Mew: "Wouldn't think of it,"
(Mew says.)
(Meanwhile, Team Rocket is able to find a safe and open it to reveal a bottle of perfume.)
(Jessie laughs and says.)
Jessie: "At last we found the perfume. Now we'll unlock its secret formula."
