(Mew and her friends continue their journey to the Azalea.)
(The trail is hot, and the sun is shining bright, Mew and her friends are hot and sweaty.)
Mew: "I'm dying of thirst."
(Mew says.)
Tomo: "Me too. I don't think I can walk another step."
(Tomo says.)
(Misty checks the canteen and says.)
Misty: "The canteen's dry as a bone. There's not even a drop left for Togepi or Pichu."
Jen: "And Amaura doesn't do well in hot heat like this."
(Jen says.)
(And she's right, Amaura is sweating and looking sick.)
(Mew turns to Brock.)
Mew: "How far is it to the next town, Brock?
Brock: "Well, according to this, we're not far from a place called Bloomingvale."
Mew: "How far's not far?"
(Mew asks.)
(Suddenly, Mew spots a water pipe running along the side of the path, and it has a leak.)
Mew: "Water!"
(Mew says, surprised.)
Misty: "Is that real, or is it a mirage?"
(Misty asks.)
Jen: "I think it's real."
(Jen says.)
(Suddenly, a nice young, green haired woman steps in and uses a large wrench to tighten the pipe.)
(She is also wearing a blue blouse, orange skirt, a light yellow apron, and a sun hat.)
(She begins to seal the water as it pumps out water.)
(Mew walks over and asks.)
Mew: "Excuse me, Miss. Is it okay if we take a drink from that pipe?"
young lady: "Sure, it's okay with me,"
(The young lady says with a smile.)
(Brock blushes and says.)
Brock: "Oh kind miss, I can't begin to express my gratitude! But, perhaps, if I had your e-mail address or beeper number, we could arrange to meet sometime and..."
(And Misty grabs him by the ear and drags him away, as usual.)
Misty: "She's not going to give you water if she thinks you're all wet!"
(Soon, the young lady helps Mew and her friends fill their canteens with water and help give their Pokemon something to drink.)
(To help Amaura keep cool.)
(Mew calls out Glaceon, and Misty calls out Snover to help.)
Misty: "This is super nice of you, my name is Misty."
(Misty says.)
Sonrisa: "No problem, my name's Sonrisa. Nice to meet you."
(The young lady says.)
Mew: "I'm Mew."
(Mew says.)
Tomo: "And I'm Tomo."
(Tomo says.)
Jen: "Jen is my name."
(Jen says.)
(Sonrisa sets the pipe back into its place and prepares to use the wrench to tighten it.)
Sonrisa: "That should do it."
(Sonrisa says.)
(But Brock takes the wrench.)
Brock: "Hold it there, Sonrisa! I can't allow those dainty digits of yours to become calloused! Allow me to perform this rough, physical task for you!"
(Brock begins to tighten the pipe, but it springs a leak and sprays water in Brock's face.)
(Brock laughs.)
Brock: "I usually have a very dry sense of humor, but not today!"
Sonrisa: "You're very funny, Brock."
(Sonrisa says.)
(Misty sighs in reply.)
(Soon, Sonrisa begins to show Mew and her friends around Bloomingvale.)
Mew: "Bloomingvale seems really nice."
(Mew says.)
Sonrisa: "I love it. The sun shines almost every single day. The weather's perfect for raising my favorite Pokemon."
(Sonrisa says.)
(Soon, Sonrisa leads the group to her place.)
Sonrisa: "Well, here we are."
(Sonrisa says.)
Brock: "Pretty place you've got here."
(Brock says.)
(Then notices the greenhouse close by.)
Brock: "And look, a greenhouse!"
(Sonrisa opens a hatch, turns the faucet, and the sprinkler turns on to spray water.)
Brock: "Is that from your own water supply?"
(Brock asks.)
Sonrisa: "Uh huh."
(Sonrisa answers.)
Sonrisa: "I built my own system of pipes that bring pure water down from the mountains. Okay! Time for your daily sprinkle!"
(Soon, three walking sunflowers that have feet and leaves for arms come out.)
(Two of them are very happy, but one of them looks really sad.)
Jen: "Look there."
(Jen says, amazed.)
(Two of the three Pokemon are happily dancing in the sprinklers, but one of them isn't.)
Brock: "Are those Sunflora?"
(Brock asks.)
Sonrisa: "Yep. There are a lot of them here in town. In fact, Bloomingvale is famous for Sunflora."
(Sonrisa says.)
(Then turns, and sometimes.)
Sonrisa: "I welcome wild Sunflora to my garden. And there's one now."
(The group looks to see a wild Sunflora entering the garden.)
(Mew brings out her Pokedex and Dexter says.)
Dexter: "Sunflora, the Sun Pokemon and the evolved form of Sunkern. A Grass Type. This smiling Pokemon loves the sun, but it also needs plenty of water to ensure healthy development."
Mew: "Just like a flower!"
(Mew says.)
Mew: "I guess all of that clean mountain water keeps them happy."
Sonrisa: "Pure water makes the Sunflora happy. And they have to be happy or they don't stand a chance at the Sunflora Festival."
(Sonrisa says.)
Tomo: "What's the Sunflora Festival?"
(Tomo asks.)
(Sonrisa answers.)
Sonrisa: "Oh, it's a big celebration they have here every year, and every year they have a competition to see who has the best Sunflora."
Tomo: "Cool!"
(Tomo says.)
Sonrisa: "Sunflora trainers like me train all year long just to have a chance at the 1st place trophy."
(Sonrisa says.)
(Then Misty asks.)
Misty: "Have you ever come in first?"
Sonrisa: "No. But I think I might have a chance to win this year."
(Sonrisa says.)
(Suddenly, another Sunflora trainer walks over to say.)
???: "How you doing, Sonrisa?! How come you're not training your Sunflora?"
(The trainer is a young man with a red headband, beige pants, brown shoes, a light greenish blue shirt, and a dark blue vest.)
Sonrisa: "We did some training earlier, and now I'm just watering them."
(Sonrisa answers.)
???: "Well, I hope it makes them happy, cause I just heard that Lester is doing something that'll make his Sunflora's smiles even happier! He's hired a comedian!"
(The young man says.)
(He and his Sunflora laugh and the young man says.)
???: "That's a laugh."
Misty: "A comedian?"
(Misty says, confused.)
(Brock turns to Sonrisa and asks.)
Brock: "Is that guy a friend of yours, Sonrisa?
Sonrisa: "Cyrus is a Sunflora trainer who lives down the street. He's won the Sunflora of the year award three times!"
(Sonrisa says.)
Misty: "Sounds like the trainers around here are pretty desperate to win!"
(Misty replies.)
Sonrisa: "People try anything to give their Sunflora an advantage."
(Sonrisa says.)
Sonrisa: "See that?"
(The group looks to see a prim looking woman with her Sunflora walking down the street.)
Sonrisa: "That trainer makes her Sunflora wear a mudpack overnight to cut down on wrinkles."
(Sonrisa says.)
(Mew and Tomo chuckle in reply.)
(And soon, Sonrisa points out to a very tanned trainer with blonde hair, and her Sunflora is the same.)
Sonrisa: "And that girl takes hers to a tanning salon. He thinks daily workouts will work."
(Sonrisa says, presenting the sporty man having Sunflora do workout by making it run back and forth dragging a large tire around and tied around its waist.)
Mew: "Looks tiring."
(Mew says.)
(Brock turns to Sonrisa and asks.)
Brock: "Do you do anything special, Sonrisa?"
Sonrisa: "I just give them fresh air, clean water, and try to keep them happy."
(Sonrisa answers.)
(Brock nods in reply.)
Brock: "Good, good, the best way."
