Again, during their trip to the next town, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} become hungry as usual. However they spot a boy talking behind some grass. They go over to see who it might be, but the boy gets scared off his pants. He's holding a {{p|Natu}} in his arms as well. Ash gets the data for Natu, but the boy seems to call the Natu "Naughty". Ash wonders why he calls Natu that but {{an|Misty}} says it's a nickname. The boy runs off afterwards, without saying anything.
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are increasingly hungry, and {{an|Brock}} informs them that his map shows that there is a town up ahead. They spot a boy in among the grass and decide to ask him for direction, but they startle him in the process. He's holding a {{p|Natu}} in his arms as well. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] for data on Natu, but the boy seems to call the Natu "Naughty". Ash wonders why he calls Natu that, but {{an|Misty}} says it's a [[nickname]]. The boy runs off afterwards, without saying anything.


The gang comes across a small town with a festival going on. They go look around to see whats happening. A few sides shows go on: {{p|Machoke}} that can break through chains, an {{p|Exeggutor}} who can make real goofy faces, a {{p|Cubone}} that can juggle. They come upon another exhibit, the fortune-telling Natu. A man is there holding up a Natu explaining its fortune-telling abilities. A little girl tries it out, she gives Natu a token, then the Natu goes: over to a pool of water and dips his wings in it; flies and hops across three rocks in a triangle; then heads over to a bell hanging over a box, the Natu rings the bell, slips the token in the box, and uses {{m|Future Sight}} to draw out a fortune. It says that the girl will excel in music, she shows it off to her mom. As usual, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} are spying on them, however they get a better plan. Since this is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} show exhibition, why not swipe the Pokémon? Misty tries it but the boy who was in the field steps up to do it. He seems nervous though, his father constantly reminding him his lines. When it's time for the fortune-telling moves, he skips the part where Misty is supposed to give Naughty the token. He runs off again in embarrassment.
The gang comes across a small town with a festival going on, which they learn is the Pokémon Street Performer festival. The group watches several of the performances, but a fortune-telling act with Natu captures their attention. A man is there holding up a Natu explaining its fortune-telling abilities. A little girl tries it out, she gives Natu a token, then the Natu goes over to a pool of water and dips his wings in it; flies and hops across three rocks arranged in a triangle; then heads over to a bell hanging over a box, the Natu rings the bell, slips the token in the box, and uses {{m|Future Sight}} to draw out a fortune. It reads "A flower bloom in the light", and the girl shows it to her mom, who interprets it as a good omen for her daughter's upcoming dance recital. Misty is keen to have her fortune read. The man calls upon his son, [[McKenzie]], to do the honor, and Ash’s group instantly recognizes him as the boy they met earlier. He seems nervous though, [[McKenzie's father|his father]] constantly reminding him of his lines. When it's time for the fortune-telling moves, he skips the part where Misty is supposed to give Naughty the token. He runs off again in embarrassment.


The gang follows him to a park, where they scare him once again. They introduce themselves, the boy introducing himself as [[McKenzie]]. He explains that he can't seem to do the fortune-telling act because he's nervous. Misty suggests a mask might help. So McKenzie practices the act (wearing a {{p|Wooper}} mask), things going smoothly until... Naughty's telekinesis isn't powerful enough. Ash wants to {{pkmn|battle}} it, obviously, to help Naughty become stronger. However McKenzie's father comes by and tells Isashu that he should just get on with the act.

However, McKenzie's father comes by and reassures his son that the mask is a great idea, which leads McKenzie to perform a live show.


Later on, James encounters the [[Magikarp salesman]]. James almost falls for the trick again until he gets a relapse and knows it's him. The salesman runs off, James trying to pursuit until Jessie stops him.
Meanwhile, [[James]] encounters the [[Magikarp salesman]]. James almost falls for the trick again, but he recognizes him. The salesman runs off, James trying to pursuit until [[Jessie]] stops him. Jessie and {{MTR}} inform James that they are going to kidnap the performers’ Pokémon and make money off them. During McKenzie's performance, {{TRT}} arrives in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]] and they drop a bomb to create a distraction. Jessie and James perform their {{motto}} while doing a trapeze act and kidnapping the performers' Pokémon, including Naughty. James sends out {{TP|James|Weezing}} to use {{m|Smokescreen}} on the crowd below. Misty orders her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} out, and it douses the smog with a {{m|Bubble}} attack, but Team Rocket has already escaped.  


McKenzie tries the act again, with the mask on. When McKenzie calls for Naughty, Naughty is nowhere to be seen. He looks around, Naughty is clinging on McKenzie back. Everyone starts to laugh but McKenzie seems not to get it. (either this was a part of the act, or just another error) The [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket balloon]] is seen in the distance, then a bomb drops by causing a distraction. They say their {{motto}} while stealing all the Pokémon, including Naughty... but not {{AP|Pikachu}}.
While James and Meowth discuss their latest catches, Jessie has already had all the Pokémon stamp their prints of business contracts in preparation for the future show business careers. {{p|Machoke}} breaks free of its restraining ropes and runs off. Team Rocket are not too fussed by the loss of one Pokémon. They decide to quickly pack up and fly off again. Machoke rushes to its {{pkmn|Trainer}}’s side, and the search party including Ash's group notices Team Rocket escaping again. Ash has {{AP|Bayleef}} cut the net with her {{m|Razor Leaf}}, freeing all the Pokémon, except for Naughty who remains in a separate cage. McKenzie gets worried because Team Rocket is still getting away. Ash tells Bayleef to use another volley of Razor Leaf and she does so, hitting the balloon. Team Rocket crash lands in a school and the gang reaches them along with McKenzie. The school kids and a teacher comes out, but all they can do is watch. James sends out {{TP|James|Victreebel}} and Jessie calls out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}. Ash uses Bayleef against Victreebel and knocks it out with one Razor Leaf. McKenzie has Naughty use {{m|Confuse Ray}} on Arbok, and Arbok starts to head to Jessie and James. Bayleef just kicks the unconscious Victreebel to get them tangled up, {{AP|Pikachu}} sends Team Rocket offs with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}.


James and Meowth talk about what to do with their catch, Jessie stamping their prints on some legal papers. Jessie says it's a claim so they can use them for show business. That's until Machoke breaks free of its ropes and runs off. The folk from the festival and the gang search out for the lost Pokémon. Machoke meets up with them and tells them where they are. However they are too late and {{TRT}} flees with all the Pokémon in a net hanging from the bottom. Ash calls out {{AP|Bayleef}} to use {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the net. She does so and is successful. Every Pokémon reuniting with their owners, except Naughty. McKenzie gets worried because Team Rocket is still going away. Ash tells Bayleef to use another volley of Razor Leaf and she does so, hitting the balloon. They land in a school and the gang reaches there along with McKenzie. The schoolkids and a teacher comes out, but all they can do is watch. James sends out {{TP|James|Victreebel}} and Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}. Ash uses Bayleef against Victreebel and KOs it with one Razor Leaf. McKenzie has Naughty use {{m|Confuse Ray}} on Arbok, and Arbok starts to head to Jessie and James. Bayleef just kicks the unconscious Victreebel to get them tangled up, Pikachu finishing with {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
Brock apologizes to the teacher for the interruption and explains that Team Rocket gatecrashed the Street Performer festival. Upon hearing this, the teacher admits that she wanted to take her students to see all the acts, but the festival was too far away. She asks if the performers would kindly put on a show for the children, and McKenzie's father pushes his son into taking to the stage. McKenzie puts on his Wooper mask and performs his fortune-telling act with Naughty. The performance goes smoothly, and this time Naughty is able to draw out a fortune with its Future Sight. The mystical performance receives resounding applause from the children, and surprisingly McKenzie’s confidence has also grown, as he decides to remove his mask. McKenzie’s father is impressed by his son's growth, and later the group sets off for their next adventure.
 
Afterward, McKenzie think that Naughty might be able to do this fortune-telling thing now, after all he did battle. So he does a practice run with the kids at the school. Everything goes smoothly and Naughty successfully draws out the fortune with his telekinesis! McKenzie thanks Ash and them for their kindness and Ash and friends sets off to the next area up ahead.

Blurb

When our heroes stumble upon a one-day street performance, they get to see all types of Pokémon with unique skills. Anxious to know the future, Misty volunteers to have her fortune read by Natu. A young boy named McKenzie and his Pokémon, Natu begin the reading but make several mistakes. Embarrassed, McKenzie runs away with Natu before Misty's future is revealed. The gang follows McKenzie and suggests he wear a mask during his performances to help boost his confidence. Misty explains if he wears the mask no one will know who he is. McKenzie's father likes the idea too, believing the mask will lend an exciting element to the performance. When McKenzie returns to the stage, will he and Natu be able to remember the routine and use Natu's Future Sight to tell patron's fortunes?

Plot

Ash and his friends are increasingly hungry, and Brock informs them that his map shows that there is a town up ahead. They spot a boy in among the grass and decide to ask him for direction, but they startle him in the process. He's holding a Natu in his arms as well. Ash checks his Pokédex for data on Natu, but the boy seems to call the Natu "Naughty". Ash wonders why he calls Natu that, but Misty says it's a nickname. The boy runs off afterwards, without saying anything.

The gang comes across a small town with a festival going on, which they learn is the Pokémon Street Performer festival.
