Synopsis

Butch and Cassidy begin the episode as they began HO11. In the same restaurant, they receive a message from Professor Nanba telling them to steal some Luvdisc. Once he has them, he can reverse their powers to rid the world of love forever.

The next morning, our narrator tells us that love is in the air in Cerulean City. (He also tells us that OrangeShipping is not true.) Misty and Daisy have just got new Luvdisc and Daisy has invited Tracey to see them. Misty's Luvdisc, Luverin, loves Daisy's Luvdisc, Caserin. However, Caserin does not love Luverin. Misty tells Luverin to persevere and that he will succeed, in a tone that speaks of experience. (That's probably the only PokéShipping in AG, incidently.)

At this point, Daisy brings up the idea of a water ballet starring the Luvdisc with Misty and Tracey. Tracey refuses on the grounds that he doesn't want to wear tights.

Psyduck's attempts to bring the Luvdisc together don't work, but before another plan is made, Butch and Cassidy come along and steal Caserin. They get away, but Daisy happens to be starring in an action movie, and a car chase commences. However, Team Rocket's car can float on water, so Butch and Cassidy get away.

Daisy gets Tracey to blow up a raft, and the persuit continues. Luvdisc will always point to their true love, so Luverin is used to locate Caserin. They soon locate the secret hideout, but Butch and Cassidy had CCTV installed, so they soon find themselves in a jail cell. Luverin joins Casserin in a watery cage, but soon hits the bars in an attempt to escape. With Caserin's Ice Beam and a coonvenient hole in the roof, the Luvdisc soon escape. While Butch and Cassidy persue the Luvdisc, Tracey manages to blow up the cell bars.

Butch and Cassidy soon have the Luvdisc cornered, but a few attacks later and they are blasting off. Daisy gets someone else to perform in the ballet and Tracey takes pictures.
