Pokémon : S5 | E36 – Will the Real Oak Please Stand Up?

Ash and his friends are sitting in a restaurant eating hamburgers when, over the radio, DJ Mary announces that Professor Oak's radio show is beginning. In this installment of the program, Oak explains that Starmie's blinking crystal is theorized to be used to communicate with beings from outer space. He ends with a poem about Starmie, though Ash and Misty find the poem to be awful. Brock adds that people say that you have to think about Pokémon poetry for a while to truly understand the deeper meaning. Over the radio, DJ Mary announces that she and Professor Oak will be doing a live recording of the show tomorrow at 1:00 pm at the Maroon Town fairgrounds with a follow-up question-and-answer session. Brock is thrilled that Mary will be there as well and rapidly flips through his guidebook to find where Maroon Town is. It is right on the way to Blackthorn City and is only one town away. Excited, the group heads off towards Maroon Town.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is famished as they stumble their way into Maroon Town. They collapse from exhaustion when Meowth notices one of many posters on the buildings around them. Meowth explains that they are advertising a free public recording of Professor Oak's talk show, and after the taping, there is a free lunch buffet for the stars of the show. The three of them become excited and state that all they have to do is become the stars of the show. They quickly disguise themselves as DJ Mary, Professor Oak, and a producer. Hearing lots of talking, Nurse Joy walks over to greet the disguised Rocket trio. Joy is surprised to see the celebrity guests already in town, but James explains that they simply want to meet their loyal fans as soon as possible. Impressed, Nurse Joy escorts them over to the stage at that moment. At the stage, the three of them hungrily eat all of the food for tomorrow's luncheon. Before she goes off to get more food, Nurse Joy asks if James could answer some questions for the children. James worries about not knowing the answers, so Meowth sits behind him with many books in order to find the answers. One child asks about Farfetch'd's leek stalk, though Meowth cannot find the answer quickly enough so James says that it is a hockey stick. Amazed, the children ask him more questions. Another boy asks why Electric-type attacks do not work on Pokémon like Quagsire even though it is a Water-type. James, after getting the answer from Meowth, explains that Quagsire is also part Ground-type so electricity does not affect it. The children begin to ask many questions too quickly when a group of people carrying cameras appear in front of Jessie. Because they are the DJ Mary Fan Club, they happily welcome DJ Mary to town and ask if they can all take her picture. Team Rocket becomes caught up in all of the excitement. Later, in a hotel's hot spring, they all relax and scheme about all the other freebies that could come their way.
