== Synopsis ==
==Blurb==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} are on the trail again, headed for [[Azalea Town]] so Ash can challenge the [[Azalea Gym|local Gym]] and earn his second [[Johto League]] [[badge]]. Thirsty, Ash and Misty eye a pipe to drink from, but a woman appears and begins to fix the dripping pipe. Before she fixes it, she fills their canteens by request. She introduces herself as [[Sonrisa]], and escorts them to [[Bloomingvale]], the nearest town.

<i>The annual Sunflora contest is only a day away and yet our hero's new friend and Sunflora Trainer is unable to convince her star Pokémon to compete. Complicating things further, Team Rocket enters under pseudonyms, planning to win by whatever means are required.</i>


At her home, she shows the trio her system of pipes that brings fresh water down from the mountains so she can raise her favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She calls her Pokémon out from the greenhouse, and they happen to be {{p|Sunflora}}, a sunflower Pokémon. She explains that she waters them so they're happy when the [[Sunflora Festival]] occurs, and many Sunflora trainers do different types of training to make their Sunflora the best, but all she does is water them and keep them happy. Two of her Sunflora seem exuberant, but one seems rather gloomy.
==Plot==
On the way to [[Azalea Town]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} become increasingly thirsty. With their canteen empty, Ash and {{an|Misty}} spot a nearby pipe to drink from, but a woman appears and begins to fix it. Before she fixes it, she fills their canteens at their request. She introduces herself as [[Sonrisa]] and escorts them to [[Bloomingvale]], the nearest town.


Brock tries to cheer the depressed Sunflora up, but it's just no use. Sonrisa says that that was the Sunflora she was planning on entering in the contest, but lately, it had been really depressed. Ash promises to help cheer the Sunflora up, but the sun was about to set, so the Sunflora went to sleep. Ash and his friends found a [[Pokémon Center]] to rest at for the night.
At her home, she shows the trio her sprinkler system, which brings fresh water down from the mountains so she can raise her favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, {{p|Sunflora}}. Sonrisa explains that she waters them so they will be happy when the [[Sunflora Festival]] occurs, while many other Sunflora {{pkmn|Trainer}}s go to great lengths to make their Sunflora the best. Two of her Sunflora seem exuberant, but one, [[nickname]]d Sunny, seems gloomy. {{an|Brock}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} try doing funny faces to cheer Sunny up, but to no avail. Sonrisa says that Sunny was the Sunflora she was planning on entering in the contest, but lately, it had been really depressed. Ash promises to help cheer the Sunflora up, but the sun begins to set, and the Sunflora retreat to the greenhouse for some rest. Ash and his friends find a [[Pokémon Center]] to rest at for the night.


Back at Sonrisa's neighbor's greenhouse, {{TRT}} pick the lock and take a look at all of the Sunflora. {{MTR}} suggest that they take one Sunflora and enter it in the Sunflora Festival so they can win a years supply of instant noodles. As [[James]] examines each of the Sunflora, Meowth accidentally runs into an alarm button, which traps him in a net. [[Jessie]] and James are able to escape, but Meowth is left trapped in the net.

He then shines a torch over the sleeping Sunflora, causing them to wake up. As [[James]] examines each of the Sunflora, Meowth accidentally runs into an alarm button, which traps him in a net. [[Jessie]] and James escape, leaving Meowth entangled in the net.


Ash and his friends hear the sound of the alarm and run to investigate. Once they are there, Misty suggests to the Sunflora breeder that he let Meowth go since he didn't steal anything, which he agrees to. Back at the Pokémon Center, Misty says that in exchange for getting set free, he has to translate for the depressed Sunflora to find out what's wrong. Meowth says that he's depressed because a Sunflora belonging to {{jo|Cyrus}} that he used to play with wasn't around anymore. Then, Meowth is lassoed by Jessie and James and 'saved'.
Ash and his friends hear the alarm and run to investigate. Once they are there, Misty and her friends are surprised to see Meowth, but she gets an idea. She suggests to Cyrus that he let Meowth go since he didn't steal anything, which he agrees to do. Back at the Pokémon Center, Misty says that, in exchange for setting him free, Meowth has to translate for Sonrisa's depressed Sunflora to find out why it is depressed. Meowth agrees and accompanies the group to meet with Sonrisa. There, it is revealed that Sunny is depressed because of the absence of a Sunflora belonging to Cyrus that it used to play with. Just then, Meowth is lassoed by Jessie and James and saved. Sonrisa then goes looking for Sunny's friend, and Cyrus admits that he [[trade]]d it to [[Nurse Joy]]. Ash, his friends, and Sonrisa go to the local Pokémon Center. There, the two Sunflora are reunited and Sunny becomes happy again.


Sonrisa then goes looking for her Sunflora's old friend, and Cyrus said he traded it to [[Nurse Joy]]. The two Sunflora are then reunited together and Sonrisa's Sunflora becomes happy again.  
Later, the Sunflora Festival begins, and Team Rocket is forced to [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|dress up Meowth as one]]. As the judging commences, one judge likes Cyrus's Sunflora, Dorabelle; one prefers Sunny; and the last one is on the fence. As Meowth is being examined, {{TP|Madame Muchmoney|Snubbull}} appears and catches a glimpse at Meowth in the costume, but she suspects his real identity and bites down on his tail. Meowth jumps out of his costume, forcing Team Rocket to reveal themselves. Jessie pries Snubbull off of Mewoth's tail and throws it away.


The same day, the Sunflora Festival occurs, and Team Rocket, stripped of a Sunflora, have to dress up Meowth as one. As the judging commences, one judge likes Cyrus's Sunflora, one likes Sonrisa's, and the last one is on the fence. As Meowth is being examined, {{TP|Madame Muchmoney|Snubbull|Granbull}} appears and catches a glimpse at Meowth in the costume, but she suspects his real identity, and sniffs him, and then bites down on his tail. Meowth comes out of his costume and then Team Rocket reveal themselves.  
The trio then activates mirrors that raise up all around the stadium and blinding the crowd with reflected light. However, the heads of the Sunflora begin to grow to enormous size before they collapse and are immobilized. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, while Ash calls out {{AP|Chikorita}} and Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}}. As they {{pkmn|battle}}, James controls the [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]] to pick up the instant noodles the trio craved for. Chikorita uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the noodles down. James sends out his {{TP|James|Weezing}}, but Ash commands {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunder Shock}} on it. Out of jealousy, Chikorita shoves Pikachu away, and his attack instead ricochets off Team Rocket's mirrors, breaking them, which mobilizes the Sunflora again. Sonrisa orders Sunny to use {{m|Solar Beam}} on Team Rocket, blasting them off. The judges, amazed by this display, crown Sunny as the winner of the festival. Afterwards, Sonrisa thanks Ash and his friends for helping her, and admits she would never have won the Sunflora of the Year award without them.


They activate mirrors that raise up all around the stadium and shine light in on everyone, blinding them, but the Sunflora grow with the bright light, but eventually, they collapse and are immobilized, as their heads grew big after being exposed to the bright light, but Team Rocket isn't interested in the Sunflora, they just want to steal the instant noodles. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} Ash sends out {{AP|Chikorita}}, and Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}}. As their Pokémon battle, James controls the [[Meowth Balloon]] to pick up the instant noodles. Chikorita uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the net of noodles down. James sends out his {{TP|James|Weezing}} to battle, but Ash commands {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|ThunderShock}} on it. Out of jealously, Chikorita shoves Pikachu while he is getting ready to attack, and his shock ricochets off Team Rocket's mirrors, breaking them, and in the process, mobilizes the Sunflora.

The annual Sunflora contest is only a day away and yet our hero's new friend and Sunflora Trainer is unable to convince her star Pokémon to compete. Complicating things further, Team Rocket enters under pseudonyms, planning to win by whatever means are required.

Plot

On the way to Azalea Town, Ash and his friends become increasingly thirsty. With their canteen empty, Ash and Misty spot a nearby pipe to drink from, but a woman appears and begins to fix it. Before she fixes it, she fills their canteens at their request. She introduces herself as Sonrisa and escorts them to Bloomingvale, the nearest town.

At her home, she shows the trio her sprinkler system, which brings fresh water down from the mountains so she can raise her favorite Pokémon, Sunflora. Sonrisa explains that she waters them so they will be happy when the Sunflora Festival occurs, while many other Sunflora Trainers go to great lengths to make their Sunflora the best. Two of her Sunflora seem exuberant, but one, nicknamed Sunny, seems gloomy. Brock and Pikachu try doing funny faces to cheer Sunny up, but to no avail. Sonrisa says that Sunny was the Sunflora she was planning on entering in the contest, but lately, it had been really depressed. Ash promises to help cheer the Sunflora up, but the sun begins to set, and the Sunflora retreat to the greenhouse for some rest. Ash and his friends find a Pokémon Center to rest at for the night.

Back at the greenhouse of Sonrisa's neighbor Cyrus, Team Rocket picks the lock and take a look at all of the Sunflora. Meowth suggest that they take one Sunflora and enter it in the festival so they can win a year's supply of instant noodles. He then shines a torch over the sleeping Sunflora, causing them to wake up. As James examines each of the Sunflora, Meowth accidentally runs into an alarm button, which traps him in a net. Jessie and James escape, leaving Meowth entangled in the net.

Ash and his friends hear the alarm and run to investigate. Once they are there, Misty and her friends are surprised to see Meowth, but she gets an idea. She suggests to Cyrus that he let Meowth go since he didn't steal anything, which he agrees to do. Back at the Pokémon Center, Misty says that, in exchange for setting him free, Meowth has to translate for Sonrisa's depressed Sunflora to find out why it is depressed. Meowth agrees and accompanies the group to meet with Sonrisa. There, it is revealed that Sunny is depressed because of the absence of a Sunflora belonging to Cyrus that it used to play with. Just then, Meowth is lassoed by Jessie and James and saved. Sonrisa then goes looking for Sunny's friend, and Cyrus admits that he traded it to Nurse Joy. Ash, his friends, and Sonrisa go to the local Pokémon Center. There, the two Sunflora are reunited and Sunny becomes happy again.

As the judging commences, one judge likes Cyrus's Sunflora, Dorabelle; one prefers Sunny; and the last one is on the fence. As Meowth is being examined, Snubbull appears and catches a glimpse at Meowth in the costume, but she suspects his real identity and bites down on his tail. Meowth jumps out of his costume, forcing Team Rocket to reveal themselves. Jessie pries Snubbull off of Mewoth's tail and throws it away.

The trio then activates mirrors that raise up all around the stadium and blinding the crowd with reflected light. However, the heads of the Sunflora begin to grow to enormous size before they collapse and are immobilized. Jessie sends out Arbok, while Ash calls out Chikorita and Misty sends out Poliwag. As they battle, James controls the Meowth balloon to pick up the instant noodles the trio craved for. Chikorita uses Razor Leaf to cut the noodles down. James sends out his Weezing, but Ash commands Pikachu to use Thunder Shock on it. Out of jealousy, Chikorita shoves Pikachu away, and his attack instead ricochets off Team Rocket's mirrors, breaking them, which mobilizes the Sunflora again. Sonrisa orders Sunny to use Solar Beam on Team Rocket, blasting them off. The judges, amazed by this display, crown Sunny as the winner of the festival. Afterwards, Sonrisa thanks Ash and his friends for helping her, and admits she would never have won the Sunflora of the Year award without them.
