(Soon, Mew and the others arrive in Kurt's Workshop, with Pokeballs lining the two shelves on the wall.)
(Kurt works on checking the GS ball.)
(Maisie sees the group and says.)
Maisie: "Hi guys."
Mew: "Hey Maisie, how's your grandfather doing?"
(Mew asks.)
Maisie: "Doing good. He's trying to concentrate so we shouldn't disturbed him."
(Maisie says.)
(The group nod and decide to watch Kurt do his work.)
(The group watches as Kurt hammering the glowing red-hot sphere upon an anvil like a forge.)
Tomo: "It's hard work."
(Tomo says.)
Brock: "Wow. That's what I call beautiful workmanship."
(Brock says.)
(Tomo says.)
Tomo: "There are so many different Pokeballs."
Jen: "They look different from the normal Pokeballs we see."
(Jen says.)
Misty: "Now I see what Professor Oak meant."
(Misty says.)
(Once Kurt sees the Pokeball in the making is hot enough, he dips it into a bucket of water nearby after pumping it.)
Maisie: "That water he's dunking it in is from the Slowpoke Well."
(Maisie says.)
Misty: "You really count on that well, huh?"
(Misty says.)
Maisie: "We sure do. And if it wasn't for you guys, it would've been ruined."
(Maisie says.)
(Kurt soon places the Pokeball in the making back in the furnace to heat it up again.)
Kurt: "I think that should just about do it."
(Kurt says.)
(Then realizes the group is behind him.)
Kurt: "Hi, everyone. I thought I heard something."
Mew: "Hi Kurt, how's researching the GS ball."
(Mew asks.)
(Then Kurt says.)
Kurt: "You'll have to give me a little more time to give you an answer on that GS Ball. I've fallen a little behind in my work."
Mew: "That's okay."
(Mew says.)
(Then Kurt says.)
Kurt: "By the way, I have a little something for you and your friends."
(With that, Kurt brings out five Pokeballs from the shelf and gives them each a Pokeball.)
Kurt: "Here you go."
(Kurt says.)
(Mew and the others are surprised to see Kurt giving them Apricorn made Pokeballs.)
Brock: "You're giving them to us? Are you sure about that?"
(Brock asks.)
Kurt: "Course I am! Think of it as a thank you for helping me in that well. Help yourself."
(Kurt says.)
Mew: "Thank you, Kurt."
(Mew says, and takes a Pokeball.)
(The group soon takes one as well.)
Jen: "So this is what an Apricorn Pokéball looks like."
(Jen says.)
(Then Maisie says.)
Maisie: "Actually, that one's made of white Apricorn, so it's called a Fast Ball."
Tomo: "It's a Fast Ball?"
(Tomo asks.)
Maisie: "That's right. It's meant to be used on Pokemon that can run away quickly."
(Maisie says.)
(Then explains.)
Maisie: "You see, Apricorns come in seven colors. White, red, blue, black, pink, green, and yellow. There's a different Pokéball made from each different color. And every kind of Pokéball has its own name, its own special colors and its own specific uses."
Tomo: "I get it. There's more than one kind of Apricorn Pokéball."
(Tomo says.)
Jen: "I like to see them."
(Jen says.)
Tomo: "I like to have an Apricorn Pokeball."
(Tomo says.)
(Then Kurt says.)
Kurt: "If you really want them, I'd be glad to make some for you."
Mew: "You really mean it?"
(Mew asks.)
Kurt: "Sure, Mew. All I need you and your friends who also want one to do is bring me the Apricorns."
(Kurt says.)
(Then Maisie says.)
Maisie: "In the backyard, we only grow white Apricorn. All the other kinds grow up in the hills behind the house. I can take you there if you want me to."
Mew: "Sounds great."
(Mew says.)
Tomo: "Sounds like we're going to find some Apricorn."
(Tomo says.)
(Meloetta and Skwovet happily nod in reply.)
(Meanwhile, Team Rocket is spying on them.)
James: "Did you hear that?"
(James asks.)
Meowth: "I heard every word."
(Meowth says.)
(Then Jessie says.)
Jessie: "This has Team Rocket written all over it. I think we finally found a way to pay off all our debts."
Meowth: "If we can get our paws on them Pokéballs, people will pay a pretty penny for em cause them things don't grow on trees, you know."
(Meowth says.)
James: "Actually Meowth, if you really had been listening to every word you would have heard that sweet little girl say those Pokéballs really do grow on trees."
(James says.)
Jessie: "Forget it, James. There's money to be made."
(Jessie says.)
(Then the two humans lift the fake bush they're hiding and sneak away.)
Meowth: "Tanks for the lift!"
(Meowth says.)
(Later, Maisie accompanies Mew and her friends into the hills to go Apricorn picking.)
Maisie: "This one's a pink Apricorn tree."
(Maisie says.)
Mew: "Cool."
(Mew says.)
Misty: "It's easy to see where it got its name."
(Misty says.)
Maisie: "These are used to make Love Balls. They work best when you're trying to catch Pokemon of a different gender."
(Maisie says.)
Jen: "You mean since I'm a girl, I can use the Love ball to catch a male Pokemon."
(Jen says.)
Tomo: "And since I'm a boy, I can only catch a female Pokemon with it?"
(Tomo asks.)
Maisie: "Just like that."
(Maisie says.)
(Brock then thinks.)
Brock: "Do you suppose that a Pokéball made from this kind of tree would help me catch Nurse Joy or Officer Jenny?"
(Misty grabs Brock by the ear.)
Misty: "She didn't say they were magic."
Jen: "Hey Maisie, do you think we can pick one?"
(Jen asks.)
Maisie: "Sorry Jen, but these apricorns aren't ripe yet."
(Maisie says.)
(Then explains.)
Maisie: "Never pick an Apricorn before it's ready and never EVER pick too many Apricorns at once! Otherwise, you'll end up damaging the whole entire tree."
Misty: "You sure know a lot. Don't you, Maisie?"
(Misty replies.)
(Then Brock says.)
Brock: "What did you expect? She is Kurt's granddaughter, after all."
Maisie: "That's right."
(Maisie replies.)
(Soon, Mew and the others arrive at another tree with yellow apricorns.)
Maisie: "See that one? That's a yellow Apricorn. It becomes a Moon Ball. They work on Pokemon that use Moon Stones to evolve."
(Maisie says.)
Brock: "You can use it to catch Pokemon like Clefairy or Jigglypuff."
(Brock says.)
Tomo: "Hey Maisie, can we pick the ones from here?"
(Tomo asks.)
Maisie: "Actually, it's not safe from this tree."
(Maisie says.)
Mew: "Why?"
(Mew asks.)
(Maisie points to the tree.)
Maisie: "Look there. See anything else in the tree?"
(The group looks to see hanging in the apricorn trees are multiple blue-green, pine cone-like insectoid Pokémon with red eyes and no visible limbs.)
(It has a single spike on top of its head, which is supposedly its stem.)
Misty: "What's that thing?"
(Misty asks.)
Brock: "It's a Pineco!"
(Brock says.)
Mew: "Let's see."
(Mew says, taking out her Pokedex.)
(Dexter says.)
Dexter: "Pineco, the Bagworm Pokemon. A Bug Type. Appears calm as it hangs sedately from tree branches, but it will self-destruct at the slightest provocation."
Misty: "I think it's scary. It looks like a grenade."
(Misty says.)
Brock: "That's why it's cool. I want a Pineco."
(Brock says.)
Jen: "How are you gonna keep it from self-destructing?"
(Jen asks.)
Brock: "What breeder could pass up a challenge like that? Sometimes a breeder's road is more like a rocky path, but it's important to meet all challenges head on! Here goes!"
(Brock says, and rushes to the tree.)
(Maisie calls out.)
Maisie: "Hey! Stay away from there!"
Brock: "Ready or not, here I come, Pineco!"
(Brock says, but soon trips on a rock and ram smack into the tree.)
