Summary: Our heroes are on the way to Olivine City when they run into a boy with a naughty Natu. They make their way to a street performer festival. Brock hogs the noodles and Cubone is throwing their bone around. There is enough food, comedy, and Pokémon for the whole family. Ash spots the Natu, who is a fortune teller, this show is pretty impressive. Misty steps up to have her fortune read, and the boy, McKenzie, shows up to tell Misty’s fortune with Natu. McKenzie is struggling a bit with the routine. Meanwhile, James is being swindled by our favorite Magikarp salesman while James and Meowth look for him.
