Forgoing the usual Cold Open this week, we find the twerps in the midst of I guess a running exercise. Serena leads the pack blowing her whistle as Clemont wishes he was dead after all this running, and being left in everyone else's dust.
Nurse Joy greets Sexymore after he apparenty had quite a day... and night. As the earlier than usual title card suggests, this is Day Three. Team Froakie, I.E. The Twerps, have three points, while Team Squirtle, I.E. Team Lesbian Twerps has 10. Apparently during the Fishing competition, Trevs caught A FUCKING WAILORD, thus gaining his team 10 points.
Later at lunch(?) the twerps are having their free government supplied meal, as Serena made sure to sit next to Ash, they talk about how good the food is as James swoons over the kids loving his cooking. While they're babbling the still intimidating boss lady Madame Catherine comes up on them from behind... and gives them another raise.
Well shit, I wish Madame Catherine was my boss.
Later, yet again, all the kids are gathered as they learn the day's assignment. They'll all be making PokéVision videos.
I'm sure I don't have to reiterate again what PokéVision videos are, but Sycamore does for the kids who haven't heard of it, and begins to show the kids a video he made himself, while deep down in the back of his mind he hopes like hell he didn't switch the tapes and isn't about to show them his other video "One Night in Sycamore".
Well, it's not quite that, it's just him explaining that he takes care of the starter Pokémon of the region with his sexy lab assistants.
The kids applaud the video, and his assistant tells the kids they have a bunch of tools for them to make their video, such as an egg whisk and a brush, to make PokéPuffs. In which case if you can't cook, I guess you're SOL.
Shauna, who made sure to sit across from Serena asks what she's going to do, in a likely thinly-veiled attempt to get an edge on the competition.
They have until the evening to make the videos, and the Top-3 teams will get points which will be decided by a vote.
Serena's been wanting to do another video, despite never actually mentioning that before now as Shauna walks up beside her and they race off ahead. Ash sensing SOME kind of competition runs ahead of them as Tierno smugly suggests they're going to win, since all Shauna does is make these things.
Back at Team Froakie HQ, Serena shows them the concept, which is just a crude image of the Pokémon, it's called "Friends", except Hawlucha and Bunnelby, who I guess were bad and no one wants to be friends with them. Serena will be in charge of making beautiful PokéPuffs, "We can't lose" says Serena to her kind of bland concept.
Since they're back at making PokéVision videos, an old friend has returned, why it's the "PokéStar Shooter Mk.II". Clemont still has to make adjustments to it, though, like tuning down the murderous rage, and asks Ask to help, because if there's anyone I'd trust with working on a Kill Bot, it's Ash.
Serena, Bonnie and Fennekin go off to make her PokéPuffs, and Shauna looking for any reason to talk to her brings up the fact that Aria has a new PokéVision video. If you don't remember Aria, and I don't blame you for not remembering her, she's the big pop idol with the Super Cute Fennekin. Well, apparently her Fennekin evolved into a Braixen. She's also gotten super popular as a Pokémon performer, but insists on still putting out PokéVision videos.
Bonnie has no clue what the fuck a Pokémon performer is, so Shauna explains that they're the cutest trainers, who even have their own festival as images of colorful shadowy figures doing Sailor Moon style poses appear in the background behind her.
She asks them if they heard of the Pokémon Showcase, and is surprised to realize that other people don't know about her hobby where she ogles pretty girls.
She explains that it's an event the cute trainers participate in that takes place all over Kalos. The showcase is made of two competitions, the first one, the "Theme Performance" is where trainers make PokéPuffs, grooming Pokémon, which all sounds incredibly boring, but what do I know?
The second and final round is "General Freestyle Performance", which has nothing to do with busting a beat and kicking out some rhymes. Instead, it's using Pokémon's abilities to do... stuff? Basically exactly like contests, then.
If you win three or more Showcases you get to go to the Master Class, and if you win you get to become the Kalos Queen, a title currently held by Aria.
Whew...
Unlike Contests, though, there are no battles, as Bonnie points out. Shauna wants to be a performer, with it being an easy way to surround herself with pretty girls and all.
Ash and Clemont finally show up, and now we can finally get going. Serena wants to location scout and leads the twerps deep into the woods, for what she thinks may be the perfect spot. She of course knows nothing of the area, and the rest of the twerps are tired of walking aimlessly for what may or may not even exist. Serena herself gives in until she finally see's a spot with flowers blooming.
Being a dumb girl who can't control herself when she sees pretty things, she dumbly flings herself forward to the spot as Ash tries to stop her... but too late, as she steps on an unstable section of rock and her and Ash tumble down a chasm to their deaths.
Or not, they just fell slightly to the bottom of a none-to-deep chasm, but Ash has apparently twisted his ankle. Clemont and Bonnie head off to get some help, leaving Ash and Serena some... alone time.
Well, not quite. Pikachu's there. And she has to tend to his twisted ankle as Ash thanks Pikachu for caring about him too because they're a team. While they wait for hopefully rescue and not a starving ravenous Pokémon, Ash tells Serena how everything they do, even the meaningless fishing contest, will help Ash along the way to making his dream come true of becoming a Pokémon Master.
Serena admires her man's optimism and calls him an amazing person, but before he can catch wind of what she said, she goes back to caressing his foot.
She tells him that she's still in want of a dream, but he tells her she has plenty of time to find one, after all she's only 10 years old. Just then, Sycamore and the rescue team have arrived. The rescue team being Team Rocket, putting aside their desire to steal Pikachu for now, mostly because they have a good thing going, and probably will get another raise for the rescue and don't want to fuck things up.
The twerps finally find an area full of flowers, and no chasms just off the main path, and make their video. We don't see them make it, because we already saw them make one, and now it's time for the competition. Boy, time flies.
First Team Squirtle's video - as all PokéVision videos must - shows off their Pokémon as held cells of the Team Squirtle Twerps introduce themselves, and their Pokémon and dreams. And last Team Froakie, Serena's nervous to present it, even though she has like 44,000 hits on the internet.
Serena introduces herself and Fennekin, they're having a picnic as Serena throws a PokéPuff past her head and it rolls down the hill as Dedenne, Pikachu, Froakie and Fennekin chase after it and it lands in front of Chespin, who eats it in front of everyone.
What a dick.
But no need to worry, Held Cell Serena has enough for everyone, as the remaining Pokémon jump straight for her chest, and fall back, along with her PokéPuffs.
LAAAAAAAME!
Everyone claps and it's time to vote. I'm sorry, Serena.
Later she and Shauna sit on the beach together (OOOOOHHHHH!)and tells Shauna that the idea came from what they went through today, you know, the part where Ash ate a stray PokéPuff, and Clemont and Bonnie got sad, until she revealed she had PokéPuffs to feed them too, and they jumped into her chest.
Serena then gets up and says that she wants to one day go and see a Pokémon showcase, and Shauna seeing oppurtunity knocking, makes it a date and invites herself to go with her.
And it's time for the announcement of the winners. Third place goes to Team Charmander, for their video on Water-types. Second Place goes to Team Chikorita for their video on Flying-types. And first place goes to... *drumroll*
...*drumroll continues*
Team Froakie... and if you thought otherwise, you've clearly never watched an episode of the Pokémon anime before.
Trevs tries to reconcile that at least he lost to Ash and his friends, and not those other bum teams, and Sycamore tries to pitifully explain that Serena's video brought out the unique personality of each of their Pokémon... sure, whatever.
The narrator says that Teams Froakie and Squirtle are tied, even though Team Froakie had three points, and Team Squirtle had 10 points before, and by my count Team Froakie has 13 points and Team Squirtle still has 10 points. So one of us sucks at math here, and I'm sure it ain't me, but if the narrator wants we can throw hands over this.
