| − | The group ends up in the middle of a carnival. Ash and Brock decide to enjoy themselves by changing into funny costumes and they start dancing. Misty and Pikachu walk away from them, very embarrassed. While eating ice cream, Misty and Pikachu see a man who is getting yelled at by woman in a Vulpix girl costume because he couldn't pay her. The woman hits the man and walks away. The man sees Misty and asks her to be his assistant in his magic show since his old assistant just quit. He introduces himself and says his name is Melvin. Misty agrees to help him, but only once. Misty is forced to wear a Goldeen girl costume with fins. She was embarrassed but the crowd was small so she felt less embarrassed until Ash and Brock show up in time to see the magic show and laugh at Misty. He then tries to conjure some flames but all that came out was a puff of smoke. He tries it again but this time it worked. Unfortunately he gets a little carried away. Misty tells him to be careful, but he ignores her. The sprinklers go off and the magic show is ruined. |

| − | Melvin is fired as a result. Misty tries to comfort him but he wants to give up his career. Ash gives him some help by doing his own magic trick using a magic box that has water, fire, and vines in it. The box really has Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur inside of it and they soon start fighting because the box is very cramped. |

| + | Coming to a town in the middle of a carnival, the heroes begin to enjoy themselves in their own ways. Misty and Pikachu decide to go their own way to explore. They find a man named Melvin, a magician, who is attacked by a woman. She knocks him down and leaves. Misty walks over to check on the man and help him up. The man is grateful, but in a tough spot. He needs an assistant for his magic show, and so he asks Misty to do it for him. She is hesitant, but agrees to do it, but only for one day. The show begins and quickly Misty finds that it's not everything it needs to be. Melvin's first trick is juggling his Exeggcute, which is less than entertaining for everyone. He decides to move on to his next trick, summoning fire from his wand. Att first, it's a tiny, disappointing spark. But upon a second try, it's a large flame that Misty begs him to be careful with. Not paying attention, Melvin accidentally starts the sprinklers which pelts the viewers with water. The crowd enters an uproar and begins to throw things at Melvin before leaving. Melvin is then fired for the stunt, where he proceeds to give up on his dreams of being a magician. Ash hopes to help Melvin by displaying a trick involving his pokemon, Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur. However, the three pokemon begin to fight with each other, ruining the trick. Ash suggests that Melvin do something like that, saying that his Exeggcute can't do much. In response to this, Exeggcute uses Hypnosis on Ash, allowing for Melvin to control him. Seeing the potential in this trick, Melvin would run off with Ash. Ash is forced too pull Melvin by cart into the Leaf Forest to capture more Exeggcute, where they find the evolved form, Exeggcutor, and attempt to use hypnosis to capture them. Unbeknownst to them, Team Rocket appears to abscond with the captured pokemon. Unfortunately for Team Rocket, Melvin's Exeggcute evolves into an Exeggcutor and uses Hypnosis on the other Exeggcutor and sends them into a rage, causing them to march on the town. By this time, Ash is beginning to return to normal. They rush back to the town to find the carnival completely demolished. The Carnival Owner tells them that he's going to destroy the threat with timed explosives he set in the center of the carnival. Ash and his friends rush to stop the mob of Exeggcutor from marching on the carnival center to protect them, but neither Bulbasaur nor Squirtle seem capable of stoping the mob, so it's left to Charmander, whose attacks are Super-Effective. Despite everything, Charmander is not strong enough, and they request Melvin to do his fire trick again. He summons a flame from his want, which causes the Exeggcutor to stop. Melvin is then reunited with his pokemon as the bomb goes off harmlessly in the distance. After this touching scene, Ash finds that Melvin's Exeggcute is not the only pokemon to evolve, as Charmander evolves into a Charmeleon whose attitude is as spicy as the flames it spits in his face. After this, the team continues on their journey. |

Then Melvin tells Ash to "Turn around three times and act like a Bulbasaur" which he does.Then Melvin comes up with a plan. Misty and Brock wonder why Ash is acting strange but they don't know that Ash has been hypnotized and is being controlled by Melvin. Melvin forces Ash to take him into the Leaf Forest. While Following Ash, Misty realizes that Ash is hypnotized by Exeggcute. Brock also states that since the Exeggcute belong to Melvin, he's making Ash do whatever he wants.

It stops them, but Charmander quickly gets tired. Misty tells Melvin to use flames from his wand, thought Melvin thinks it won't work. It does work and Charmander and Melvin safely send the Exeggutor back to the forest, all but Melvin's Exeggutor, who was happy to see it's trainer again.

Synopsis
Our heroes continue their Pokémon training without a break even over spring vacation, when what should appear before them but a carnival. Ash, Brock and Pikachu join in the fun, eventually discovering a rather dull magic show being performed in a small cabin. The magician begs Misty to become his assistant, but because of his poor magic skills, the magician is fired. Feeling sorry for him, Brock, Ash and Misty suggest working together to create a Pokémon magic show.[1]
Episode plot
Coming to a town in the middle of a carnival, the heroes begin to enjoy themselves in their own ways. Misty and Pikachu decide to go their own way to explore. They find a man named Melvin, a magician, who is attacked by a woman. She knocks him down and leaves. Misty walks over to check on the man and help him up. The man is grateful, but in a tough spot. He needs an assistant for his magic show, and so he asks Misty to do it for him. She is hesitant, but agrees to do it, but only for one day. The show begins and quickly Misty finds that it's not everything it needs to be. Melvin's first trick is juggling his Exeggcute, which is less than entertaining for everyone. He decides to move on to his next trick, summoning fire from his wand. Att first, it's a tiny, disappointing spark. But upon a second try, it's a large flame that Misty begs him to be careful with. Not paying attention, Melvin accidentally starts the sprinklers which pelts the viewers with water. The crowd enters an uproar and begins to throw things at Melvin before leaving. Melvin is then fired for the stunt, where he proceeds to give up on his dreams of being a magician. Ash hopes to help Melvin by displaying a trick involving his pokemon, Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur. However, the three pokemon begin to fight with each other, ruining the trick. Ash suggests that Melvin do something like that, saying that his Exeggcute can't do much. In response to this, Exeggcute uses Hypnosis on Ash, allowing for Melvin to control him. Seeing the potential in this trick, Melvin would run off with Ash. Ash is forced too pull Melvin by cart into the Leaf Forest to capture more Exeggcute, where they find the evolved form, Exeggcutor, and attempt to use hypnosis to capture them. Unbeknownst to them, Team Rocket appears to abscond with the captured pokemon. Unfortunately for Team Rocket, Melvin's Exeggcute evolves into an Exeggcutor and uses Hypnosis on the other Exeggcutor and sends them into a rage, causing them to march on the town. By this time, Ash is beginning to return to normal. They rush back to the town to find the carnival completely demolished.

Melvin is then reunited with his pokemon as the bomb goes off harmlessly in the distance. After this touching scene, Ash finds that Melvin's Exeggcute is not the only pokemon to evolve, as Charmander evolves into a Charmeleon whose attitude is as spicy as the flames it spits in his face. After this, the team continues on their journey.
