A well written episode, that FINALLY focuses on Team Rocket's bad talents. Opening up a Salon for beautifying a Pokemon by making them flashy was really a great scam for money. It's too bad that the trainer's Pokemon were really dissatisfied on how they looked like.
A new Pokemon Breeder shows up, and it could be one of Brock's rivals and lovers named Suzie. (I do find the breeder cute though) Though she's a little bit unexperienced, Brock was nice enough to teach her a little on how to make the best food for a specific Pokemon, mainly her Vulpix. He even started a lecture on how to massage a tired Pokemon. (really formal!)
Back in Team Rocket's salon, Misty becomes the victim as they try to beautify her, until Meowth ruins their plans by "talking in front of the customer". By beating Meowth up, their disguises are shredded into pieces when Meowth scratches them. Misty threatened to look like Frankenstein was one of the best threats ever from, James.
The battle emerges after Meowth had to spill out the real plan of their said salon. They should've ran away and left Misty there! (though that would've been cruel) At least Team Rocket WAS close to winning for once, until Suzie's Vulpix manages to Fire-Spin them away so they can learn next time. Such a shame, as Misty was burned as well.
At the end, Brock manages to keep Suzie's Vulpix since she thought it'll be happy with him. I would've refused to keep it since Suzie DID learn some things from him. All she had to do is be herself and never give up.
A great episode that shouldn't be missed out,moreless
Episode Summary
EDIT
Ash and the others arrive at the world famous Scissor Street, where you can find almost anything. They see a salon where the owners, who are really Team Rocket in disguise, say that pokmon beauty is all that matters, which excites Misty. They then find what they came to look for, the salon of the world famous pokmon breeder Susie. Susie then begins a class to show off some of her techniques. After Ash and Brock insult Team Rocket's salon, Misty decides to bring Psyduck there for a makeover. However this turns out to be a lure by Team Rocket, who want to use Misty as "bait" for Ash.moreless
