Blurb

As our heroes take a break in a beautiful meadow on their way to Anistar City, Serena and Bonnie unexpectedly come across an Eevee, dancing joyfully in the sunlight! Serena is quite charmed by the Evolution Pokémon, but then Ash calls out to the girls and startles Eevee into running away.

Determined to find Eevee again, Serena decides to put on a performance to attract its attention. Sure enough, Eevee creeps up to watch—only to be grabbed by Team Rocket! In the battle that follows, Eevee uses Protect to keep Serena out of the line of fire, and Pikachu’s Thunderbolt soon sends the villains blasting off again.

Serena asks Eevee to join her Pokémon Showcase team. After a bit of shy hesitation, Eevee agrees, and our heroes are off once more—with a new member in the group!

Trivia

• Serena reads the title card.
• Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster: Braixen
• The Japanese title of this episode is possibly a reference to the Japanese title of the J. D. Salinger book, The Catcher in the Rye.
• The preview for the next episode is narrated by Tierno, Shauna, Serena and Eevee.
• The scene when Serena, Braixen and Pancham watch Eevee dancing is similar to the scene used in Mad-Paced Getter.
• Clemont makes a reference to an earlier episode, when he talks about the predecessor to the invention that he uses in his attempt to locate Eevee.
• The title of the English dub of this episode is listed as "The Frocking Find in the Flowers!" on most TV guides.

Errors

• During the scene where Team Rocket are watching Ash and his friends and their Pokémon eating lunch, Serena's hat is shown on her head but in the scene before her hat was shown to be taken off.
• During the scene where Clemont is about to gear up his invention, his hairstyle is switched backwards.
• In the dub, Clemont refers to his invention as the "Living Thing Finder Mark II", saying that it is an improved model of a previous invention. However, said invention is called the "Body Detecting Radar Bot Mark III".
• In one scene, Frogadier is seen without its scarf made of frubbles.
  • At the same scene, Bonnie's hairstyle is switched backwards.
• After Serena leaves her tent alongside Braixen and Pancham, she is shown walking out barefoot, but in the next frame she is wearing sandals.
• When Serena is talking to Eevee after she has finished performing the practice routine for her upcoming Showcase, the color on her dress just above her blue ribbon, is briefly colored the same as the ribbon.
• When Serena is going to rescue Eevee, Bonnie appears with five bangs on her forehead without her hairpin.
• When Bonnie is playing with Pancham, Chespin, and Eevee near the end of the episode, her ponytail is missing. This error repeats three times.
