Plot

 * Ash, Gary, Brock, Misty, Surge, Erika, Koga, Sabrina, Blaine, Tracey, Team Rocket, Giovanni, Ritchie, Lorelei and Bruno arrive at the Puzzle University for their first day. Once inside, they meet the 12 new characters Sissy (from Fit To Be Tide), Danny (from Navel Maneuvers), Rudy (from Misty Meets Her Match), Luana (from Pokemon Double Trouble), Falkner (from Fighting Flyer With Fire), Bugsy (from Getting The Bugs Out), Whitney (from A Goldenrod Opportunity and A Dairy Tale Ending), Morty (from A Ghost of A Chance and From Ghost To Ghost), Chuck (from Machoke, Machoke Man), Jasmine (from Fight For The Light and Nerves of Steelix), Pryce (from As Cold As Pryce and Nice Pryce, Baby) and Clair (from Beauty Is Skin Deep, Fangs For Nothing, Great Bowls of Fire and Better Eight Than Never) who explain that the anime party is starting their first night. So everyone grabs their anime outfits and hit the road to the community center. Once there, they dance to Train's 50 Ways To Say Goodbye, until sparks come out and to everyone's horror, Casey (from The Double Trouble Header, The Bug Stops Here and Here's Looking At You, Elekid) and Sakura and Her Sisters (all from Trouble's Brewing and Espeon, Not Included) appear, dressed in Shirley, Asuka, Mizuho, Naru, Mikuru and Kagura outfits and opaque tights. They dance to Up from Joy Williams until Ash's 4 bosses Damian (from Charmander The Stray Pokemon), Alex Davis (from Power Play), Koji (from Good Quil Hunting) and Ken (from Wish Upon A Star Shape and Crazy As A Lunatone) show up and order the girls to leave the 12 new characters alone. A fight ensues and after it Casey and The Kimono Sisters apologize to the 12 new characters. Whitney bursts into tears and snuggles up to Jasmine. A furious Blaine suspends Casey and The Kimono Sisters and sends them out of the community center until further notice. By morning, Damian, Alex Davis, Koji and Ken tell Ash and Brock that it was all Casey and The Kimono Sisters' fault, but the two explain that the 12 new characters will remain here and The Poke Bosses agree to work with them. As the episode finishes, Ash and his 14 opponents welcome the 12 Gym Leaders and The Poke Bosses to the group. Note: During the time lapse scene of Ash and the others putting on anime outfits, music from the Power Rangers episode Teamwork plays (when Jason, Zack, Trini, Kimberly and Billy clean up the trash at the school).
