"I will definitely make Psyduck very cute, even cuter than Pikachu, and surprise you," Misty said confidently.
"Psyduck, come here," Misty said as she walked out, and Psyduck followed behind her.
"Do both the external and internal need to change? Ever since that shop became popular, I have completely lost confidence in my own methods," Yuki sighed.
"That attitude is wrong," Brock suddenly stood up and said seriously.
"We should continue forward on the path we believe in."
"That's right, Yuki, we'll help you too, right Raj," Ash said as he clenched his fist.
"Mm," Raj nodded.
"Thank you so much, but what should we do," Yuki asked uncertainly.
"It's simple, if they win with flashy appearance, then we will win with inner beauty," Brock said confidently.
"The Pokémon care lecture is starting now everyone please line up and do not push," Brock announced while holding a microphone.
"Pokémon are our very important companions and if they get injured during intense battles you can try giving them a massage like this," Yuki demonstrated gently while Pikachu looked extremely comfortable.
Brock helped Yuki organize a lecture about proper Pokémon care, and everyone who attended benefited greatly from it.
Gradually, the shop where Misty had been lining up earlier became empty.
"Ah it's the young lady I met earlier at Yuki's place aren't you going there this is Yuki's first lecture and her explanation about Pokémon care is wonderful," Chansey's Trainer said to Misty.
"Just talking about this Pikachu he is currently traveling with this Trainer."
"The most important part of Pikachu during battle is the electric sacs on his cheeks so his cheeks are the stiffest part Ash please massage Pikachu according to the method I just showed you," Yuki instructed.
Ash followed her instructions and began massaging Pikachu.
"This kind of skin-to-skin communication builds trust with Pokémon and in this way their natural charm can be brought out," Yuki explained.
"Of course every Pokémon has different charms and how much charm can be brought out depends on the Breeder's ability," Raj added from the side.
At that moment, many Trainers attending the lecture looked down at their heavily decorated Pokémon and sighed.
"This is called Squirtle Shell New Wave Art please help promote it for us," Jessie said as she drew roses on Squirtle's shell.
"It turns out we also have artistic talent and endless inspiration I am even starting to scare myself," James said narcissistically.
"Next."
"Only one person," Meowth asked in confusion as he looked at the door.
"It's fine only those who truly understand our aesthetic will stay."
"Yes true beauty is only understood by those who understand it."
"Excuse me," Misty said as she pushed open the door.
As soon as Team Rocket saw Misty, they immediately pushed her into the dressing room and began applying makeup to her.
"Wow I knew I was the cutest," Misty said happily as she admired her outfit.
"Stop playing around hurry up and ask about the whereabouts of Haunter and Pikachu," Meowth said anxiously.
"You you're Team Rocket's Meowth," Misty said in surprise.
At that moment, Jessie and James immediately tied Misty to a chair, but Psyduck ran out.
Psyduck ran all the way back to Yuki's shop and anxiously called out to Raj and the others.
"What's wrong Psyduck is Misty in danger," Raj asked with a frown.
Psyduck nodded and quickly led Raj and the others away.
The group rushed directly to Team Rocket's shop and pushed the door open, where they saw Misty tied to a chair.
"Raj Ash Brock," Misty said in surprise.
"That face," the three of them struggled to hold back their laughter after seeing Misty's makeup.
"Untie Misty immediately," they said seriously after composing themselves.
"Why such fierce expressions we are simply pursuing beauty," Jessie said with a sly smile.
"Pursuing beauty this is just your arrogance."
"Pokémon have their own unique charm don't you understand," Yuki said angrily as she held Vulpix.
"You two stop talking nonsense meow the first step of our plan is to extort money from Trainers by any means necessary meow," Meowth said smugly.
"In the second step those foolish Trainers will naturally bring many Pokémon and if we encounter rare ones we can steal them on the spot," Meowth continued.
"What," many Trainers watching outside began whispering among themselves.
"We will use this little girl who can make Pikachu and Haunter look stylish to exchange for them what do you say," Jessie said as she pressed Misty's shoulder.
"In that case let's have a Pokémon battle," Raj said as he cracked his neck.
"Oh ho ho you are too strong we cannot beat you so you should just stay where you are," Jessie said as a cage suddenly dropped and trapped Raj inside.
"How despicable," Raj said coldly.
"Pikachu Geodude go," Ash and Brock shouted together.
"Thunder Shock."
"Seismic Toss."
Ekans was thrown by Seismic Toss and curled into a ball midair before using Rollout to push Pikachu back.
Pikachu's Thunder Shock was blocked by Ekans and Koffing as they spun and used insulating coverings to deflect the electricity.
"Koffing Sludge," Jessie commanded.
The sludge landed directly on Pikachu and Geodude's faces just as Team Rocket prepared to press their advantage.
"Leave this to me," Yuki said as she stepped forward bravely.
"I will not run away anymore I want you to understand that blindly pursuing appearance will only make you lose sight of a Pokémon's true charm," Yuki said firmly.
"Whether it is a Pokémon or an actress the most important thing is the face," Jessie replied with a laugh.
"Vulpix Fire Spin," Yuki commanded.
Vulpix's eyes changed from blue to red as it released a powerful spiral of flames that surrounded Team Rocket and swept toward their storefront.
At that moment, Raj had already asked Haunter to break the cage and then launched multiple Energy Ball attacks that blasted Team Rocket away.
"Hmph they actually dared to ambush me," Raj said speechlessly.
"Everyone saw that right this is the hidden charm that comes from a Pokémon's strength," Brock said to the surrounding Trainers.
After hearing this, everyone began removing the flashy decorations from their Pokémon.
Back at Yuki's shop, she bowed gratefully.
"Thank you everyone because of you I have regained my confidence," Yuki said sincerely.
"When I met you I immediately felt that I must work even harder," Yuki said as she looked at Brock.
"If I can be shaken by such a small matter then it means my learning is still not enough I still need to continue improving myself so I am not qualified to teach you yet," Yuki said with a smile.
"Are you also going on a journey Yuki," Raj asked.
"If I stay here I will not be able to see more of the world I hope you Brock will also continue traveling well from now on we are rivals," Yuki said as she shook Brock's hand.
At that moment, Vulpix walked over and gently rubbed against Brock's leg.
"I will leave Vulpix with you do you know this is the first time Vulpix has been so close to a stranger," Yuki said softly as she looked at Vulpix.
"I believe you will definitely raise Vulpix even better than I have."
"Good luck Brock," Raj said as Brock said farewell to Yuki.
