Chapter 141: The Princess Festival

(One day, in a place called O-Hina Town, there is a big celebration that Misty is excited to show to Mew.)

(Misty happily says.)

Misty: "My favorite holiday! Let the Princess Festival begin! Today, the women rule!"

(Somewhere else, Jessie is just as excited.)

Jessie: "Listen up! This is the one day of the year.."

(Then Misty and Jessie turn to their party.)

Misty and Jessie: "You boys have to do everything I tell you to do!"

(Mew and her friends are confused.)

(The same goes for James and Meowth.)

Mew: "Everything?"

(Mew asks.)

Pikachu: "Pika?" (Really?)

(Pikachu asks.)

Eevee: "Eevee?" (Why's that?)

(Eevee asks.)

James: "How's that different from any other day of the year?"

(James asks.)

(The Princess Festival is a festival that salutes girls and women everywhere in the Kanto Region.)

(And so Mew and her friends find themselves in the center of the celebration of O-Hina town.)

(And Misty is excited about the celebration and to help Mew with her first Princess Festival.)

(During the Princess Festival, every store becomes a bargain hunter's paradise.)

(with all kinds of beautiful new clothes, toys, accessories for sales at drastic discounts, if you're a female.)

(And if anyone is a male, they have to carry packages, and anything the girls buy.)

(Soon, Misty, Mew, Brock, Tomo, Pikachu, and Eevee explore the festival.)

(Misty introduces Mew to the holiday and is buying up a storm.)

(Brock ends up having to carry everything Misty buys.)

(Mew is also able to buy some new clothes, accessories, and other supplies she needs.)

(She also buys a few things for Tomo like toys and other stuff.)

(She also buy some souvenirs for Professor Oak, Gary, Adriana, and Daisy even something for her Pokemon Papa.)

(Even buy Pikachu and Eevee a few things.)

(Of course, Mew doesn't ask Tomo to carry her things and she doesn't buy too much stuff, unlike Misty.)

(Later on, everyone is at a restaurant having some food to eat.)

Misty: "Look at all this food! Everything looks so delicious!"

(Misty happily says.)

Mew: "You're right! They look so good!"

(Mew says.)

(Misty giggles and says.)

Misty: "And it's all for us!"

(Soon, Mew and Misty begin to eat the food.)

(Of course, Mew shares a bit with Pikachu, Eevee, and Tomo.)

(Mew then notices how much food Misty is eating.)

Mew: "Gosh, Misty. How much can you eat?"

Misty: "Plenty. Girls eat free during the festival,"

(Misty says.)

(Then notice Brock and Tomo don't have much.)

(Of course, Misty is sharing with Tomo.)

Misty: "Is that all you're having?"

(Misty asks.)

Brock: "Unfortunately, guys have to pay,"

(Brock says.)

Misty: "Oh, right. I forgot,"

(Misty says.)

(Suddenly, Brock notices a waitress walking by and hurries over.)

(Brock then asks.)

Brock: "Excuse me, miss. Would you allow me to be your prince on this Princess Day?"

(The waitress giggles and says.)

waitress: "That is so cute. When you grow up big and strong, you'll meet a nice girl."

(Then leaves to continue her work.)

(Brock then feels dejected and begins to chow down.)

Mew: "Shot down again, eh, Brock?"

(Mew replies.)

Tomo: "Yeah,"

(Tomo says and begins laughing.)

(Suddenly, Misty notices something.)

Misty: "Look at that sign!"

(They turn their heads to see a billboard that advertises the lead actor in the movie "Gigantic.")

Mew: "You mean the movie ad?"

(Mew asks.)

Misty: "Not that one, the sign right next to it. Over there!"

(Misty says, pointing to the sign next to it.)

(It turns out to be a poster for a big sail up from 50% to 90% off.)

Misty: "Looks like a great sale! We better hurry!"

(Misty says.)

(Meanwhile, in the clothing store, Jessie is buying up a storm, especially with the dresses.)

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation.

James: To unite all peoples within our nation.

(Meanwhile, James and Meowth are throwing confetti.)

(In fact, they do their motto as Jessie buys dresses and James and Meowth throw confetti around.)

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love.

James: To extend our reach to the stars above.

Jessie: Jessie.

James: James.

Jessie: Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!

James: Surrender, now, or prepare to fight.

Meowth: Meowth! That's right!

(Jessie places the dresses on the counter and tells the cashier.)

Jessie: "Charge all of this to the Team Rocket account!"

(Later on, Team Rocket is at the park of O-Hina Town.)

(James and Meowth are tired after Jessie's shopping spree.)

(James complains.)

James: "Jessie, this is boring! I hate this silly Princess festival!"

Jessie: "Stop complaining! You don't think I'm doing all this shopping just for myself, do you?"

(Jessie sternly says.)

(James and Meowth soon become confused.)

(Meowth asks.)

Meowth: "You bought stuff for us?"

Jessie: "Ha! No. I'm buying lots of great gifts for the boss so he won't be so mad at us for not catching Pikachu,"

(Jessie says, holding the gifts for the boss.)

(James asks.)

James: "You think that'll work?

Meowth: "Only if she can find a half-price Pikachu,"

(Meowth comments.)

(Suddenly, a bipedal Pokémon with a round body and a thick, powerful tail.)

(It has soft, pink skin with curved yellow lines on its belly and a yellow ring marking on each knee.)

(It has a thumb-like claw on each hand and a single large nail on each foot.)

(There is a yellow spot on its palms and the soles of its feet, and has beady eyes.)

Jessie: "What in the world is that?"

(Jessie says, confused.)

(Suddenly, the Pokemon sticks out its long tongue and takes the food away from Jessie.)

(Then begins to eat it, making Jessie and the others shocked.)

James: "It's got good taste,"

(James says.)

(Meowth surprisingly says.)

Meowth: "That's one hungry Lickitung!"

(Then the Pokemon, Lickitung, proceeds to spit out the cans of food and eat the rest from the boxes Jessie has.)

(Jessie shouts at it.)

Jessie: "Stop that!"

(Lickitung pays no heed and eats the food and other stuff from the boxes.)

(Jessie continues shouting.)

Jessie: "That was our present for the boss! Go get your own dinner!"

(When Lickitung eats the clothes, it spits them out.)

(Jessie panics.)

Jessie: "No! Those are original copies of genuine designer fakes!"

(With it full, Lickitung walks away.)

(Jessie growls in anger as she brings out her Pokeball.)

Jessie: "Don't think you're just gonna eat and run, Lickitung! Go, Arbok!"

(Arbok comes out of its Pokeball, but Lickitung licks Arbok and becomes paralyzed, much to Team Rocket's shock.)

James: "Arbok, is licked!"

(James exclaims.)

(Then Jessie brings out another Pokeball.)

Jessie: "How dare you?! I'll show you! Pokeball, go!"

(Jessie then throws her Pokeball and hits the Pokemon.)

(Then Lickitung goes inside.)

(With a wobble and a ping, Jessie catches Lickitung, much to James and Meowth's surprise.)

Meowth: "She captured a Lickitung!"

(Meowth says, amazed.)

(James asks.)

James: "What are you going to do with it?"

Jessie: "I'll deal with this thing later,"

(Jessie says, putting the Pokeball away.)

(Then walks away.)

Jessie: "Now, I'm gonna give my credit cards a good workout."

Meowth: "Uh oh,"

(Meowth says, knowing what it means.)

(Then James replies.)

James: "The princess shop-a-thon continues."

(With that, Meowth and James follow Jessie.)
