Ash and the gang have made it to a marquet, in wich
a one-day evenement takes place, that let Pokémon
show their unique tallents only they possese.
There are a lot of Psychic Pokémon present.
Misty sees a future seener and want him to
predict her future. Ash and Brock laugh at it,
as they do not believe in it. Misty doesn't care
and let the predicter predict.
The predicters name is McKenzie and uses a Natu
to help him. Ash learns from his Pokédex that Natu
is a Psychic Pokémon and can prodict the future.
As McKenzie starts, Natu starts too and uses Psychic
to see in the future and shows it into McKenzies mind.
But, Natu makes some mistakes and tells the future of
some others! McKenzie runs off scared, takes Natu and
his place with him and doesn't predicts Misty future anymore!
When the gang answers what that was all about, McKenzies
father approaches them and explains that his son can be a
good predicter, but is too scared to work with humans and runs
most of the time scared away.
The gang decides to go after McKenzie and search for him.
In the mean time, Team Rocket has viewed all this and
decide to steal Natu, as it would be a great present for their
Boss, who can them show him his future successes.
They decide to go after McKenzie too and steal his Pokémon.
The gang has then found McKenzie, as he appologizes to Misty
for not telling her future. Misty claims that if McKenzie would
wear a mask, he wouldn't have to look at people and so he
would be able to predict better. McKenzie finds this a good
idea and is willing to try it out.
Then Team Rocket attacks and is about to steal the Pokémon again.
Natu defends itself and is able to defeat Team Rocket.
The gang and McKenzie return to the festival and McKenzie
puts on a Wooper mask, and is able to predict!
The gang says goodbye and continue their journey to Olivine...

Episode Title Origin: Doing what comes naturally.
Teaser:
Our heroes, still on the way to Olivine City (guys, as much as I love
plot-driven episodes, and as much as I realize things are determined by when
new Game Boy games come out, could we please move them faster?), when they
spot a bow with a Natu nicknamed Naughty. The kid is rather shy and runs off.
(I guess since Movie 4 comes out next fall, we'll have a different theme song
there. Too bad.)
So, Ash, Misty, and Brock head into town, where they find an array of Pokémon
street performers, including a man who uses a Natu to tell fortunes. Turns
out, he's the father of the boy (McKenzie) we saw earlier. The boy tries to
do the act with his Natu, but botches it terribly. Our friends follow him,
and he tells about himself and Naughty. Apparently, he's got a case of stage
fright. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is looking for ways to steal the performing
Pokémon, and James encounters the Magikarp scam artist yet again.
After some practice, McKenzie tries again, but Team Rocket attacks and steals
all the performing Pokémon. A chase ensues, which leads to a battle in a
daycare center, and all the Pokémon are returned.
Tag:
At the request of the day care center, McKenzie performs his act, this time
flawlessly.
Who's that Pokémon: Jigglypuff
Moral of the Episode: A bird on the back is worth two in the hand.
Analysis: Not terribly interesting. There just didn't seem to be a lot to it.
I think McKenzie needed a deeper backstory. That's about all there is to say.
