And now, a funny Brock scene from my writings...Brock as a tap dancer!
"...Misty noticed Brock's thoughtful expression and glanced over at the lounge window. "What is it, Brock?
"Hmmm..." Brock thought a little bit longer, then turned towards the grand hall exit. "Excuse me for a moment...." and he disappeared into the crowd.
"What's he doing?" Ash wondered.
"Probably left to concoct some elaborate scheme to woo Nurse Joy...but who knows...He could've gone back to get something from the room or take a bathroom break...who knows..." Misty sighed. "We'll just wait here...
---------
After an hour, Ash and Misty were still waiting for Brock to return. Ash paced the floor by his chair, and Misty just watched some of the other duels. Finally, Ash collapsed in his chair. exhausted. "What's taking him so long? You'd think he'd be back by now..." No sooner had he said this, the lights on a makeshift stage went up, and a catchy melody began to play over the speakers. Then, Brock appeared in a sparkling red jacket, sparkling black pants, and black shoes to match. A top hat with a red stripe on it sat on his head, completing the look.
Misty then heard a clack-clack-clackety-clack noise coming from the stage as Brock danced to the music. "What's that?"
"Pika pi!" Pikachu replied, pointing at Ash's shoes.
"It's his shoes making all that noise?" Misty asked, puzzled.
Ash watched the dance with interest. "I didn't even know Brock could tap dance!"
"He is quite good..." Misty mused as Brock began to sing as he danced:
Oh-wo-over and over...
I try to prove my love to you...
Over and over...
What more can I do?
Over and over,
My friends say I'm a fool
But oh-wo-over and over...
I'll be a fool for you!...
Just then, Misty got an idea. "Come on, Ash!" She grabbed Ash's hand and dragged him to the stage.
"Hey, wait, Mistyyyyyy!!!!!" Ash protested as he tripped over stray rocks, catches in the carpet, and whizzing past other people, all the way to the stage behind Brock, just as Brock sang
'Cause you've got...
Personality... Misty sang, kicking up her legs.
"Misty...I can't dance!" Ash complained, trying his hardest to kick up his legs like Misty was.
"Quit complaining and kick!" Misty ordered. With that, she began to sing a backup melody to Brock's song:
"Walk.... Brock sang.
"The personality... Misty and Ash echoed.
Talk.... Brock continued, skipping across the stage as he danced.
"The personality..." the others echoed.
"Smile...." Brock twirled a little as he ascended a small stairway in front of the makeshift chorus line, which had now grown to include some curious bystanders.
"The personality..."
"Charm..." Brock continued, doing some kicking along with his chorus line.
"The personality..."
"Love..." Brock struck a pose among the line....
"The personality..."
"Plus you've got a great big he-ah-art!" Brock sang, dancing down the stairway on the stage towards Nurse Joy, who had come out of the lounge to see what was going on. She giggled as Brock sang
"So over...
"Over and over..." Misty and Ash echoed.
"And over..." Brock continued, halfway skipping as he danced.
"Over and over..." Misty and Ash echoed again.
"Oh, I'll be a fool for you..." Brock sang, pointing at Nurse Joy on the word 'you'. Nurse Joy stifled a giggle as she continued to watch the show.
"Over and over..." the chorus line echoed.
"Now over..." Brock was approaching his starting point.
"Over and over..."
"and over..." Brock waved to Officer Jenny as she entered the room, interested.
"Over and over..."
"What more can I do?" Brock sang, smiling at the two girls.
Officer Jenny turned to Nurse Joy. "So, what inspired Mr. Lovebird here to do this?"
"Well, I have to admit, this is quite a show!" Nurse Joy laughed as Brock sang
"Cause you've got..." again, restarting the chorus.
"Hmm...the chorus line's a nice touch...and Lover-boy looks good in sparklies...." Officer Jenny noted as the music went into a dance break, allowing Brock to dance solo.

Meanwhile, in a backstage area, Team Rocket waited, listening to the show going on out on the stage. "Okay, guys...you know the plan?" James asked everyone.
"And you also know why we're here?" Jessie asked.
"Yeah, I know!" Meowth exclaimed, confident in the latest plot the team had concocted.
"Okay, why are we here?" James asked with a sly smirk.
"'Cause we've got..." Meowth began. "The personality!"
"The personality?" Jessie and James looked at each other, confused.
"The personality...the personality....the personality...." Meowth continued to sing and kick up his legs. "Everybody now!...the personality...."
"Wobba! Wobba!" Wobbufett also joined in the dancing.
"Okay, besides the personality, why are we here?" Jessie sighed, exasperated as Meowth's sudden burst into song.
"Quiet down! I'm trying to watch the dancer on the stage!" Meowth shushed as Brock continued his dance, mesmerized by the steps.
James looked out on the stage. "You know...I have a better idea..." and he dragged Jessie and Meowth into a costume storage closet, slamming the door behind him. "We'll dress up and blend into the chorus line...then when the song's over, we'll take Pikachu!"
"Great idea!" Jessie called as she rummaged through the various suits, dresses, hats, masks, and other props. She emerged from the pile wearing a pale yellow dress. "How's this?"
"Perfect, darling!" James replied as he threw on a pinstripe shirt and small hat, also grabbing a cane from the pile of props. "Okay! Let's go!" The three Rockets raced onto the darkened part of the stage and squeezed into the chorus line.
"Hey!" one girl complained as Jessie squeezed herself in.
"Pardon me, sir..." James scrunched himself in between two boys, right as the music concluded the solo.
---------
Brock posed as the music paused for a moment, then sang again:
Wo-wo-wo...
Oh-wo-over and over,
I said that I love you... He tapped a step in rhythm to the music as he descended the stairway.
Over and over...
Honey, love, it's the truth! Officer Jenny couldn't resist laughing at this.
Over and over...
They still say I'm a fool! Some curious girls giggled as they watched the unfolding routine.
But oh-wo-over and over...
I'll be a fool for you!
'Cause you got...Brock skipped over to a spot facing Officer Jenny as he started the chorus again.
Personality... sang the chorus line, which had now swelled to over 100 people.
"Walk....
"The personality...
"Talk..."
"The personality...
"Smile..."
"The personality...
"Charm..."
"The personality...
"Love...
"The personality...
"Plus you've got a great big he-ah-art! So over...
"Over and over..."
"And over..."
"Over and over..."
"Oh, I'll be a fool for you..." Brock pointed at Officer Jenny this time, causing her to smile a little, but she was also somewhat embarrassed.
"Over and over..."
"Now over..."
"Over and over..."
"And over..."
"Over and over..."
"What more can I do? 'Cause you've got..."
Personality...
"Walk....
"The personality...
"Talk..."
"The personality...
"Smile..."
"The personality...
"Charm..."
"The personality...
"Love...
"The personality...
"Plus you've got a great big he-ah-art! So over...
"Over and over..."
"And over..."
"Over and over..."
"Oh, I'll be a fool for you..."
"Over and over..."
"Now over..."
"Over and over..."
"And over..."
"Over and over..."
"What more can I do? 'Cause you've got..."

James could feel the sweat forming on his head as he continued to kick up his legs. He, Jessie, and Meowth had been only kicking for a few minutes, but to him, it felt like several hours. "Hey, Jessie?" he whispered.
"What?" Jessie asked.
"Please remind me why we're kicking our legs like this..." James sighed. "My legs are getting tired...
"We're supposed to! Now quit complaining and sing!" Jessie retorted as the chorus began again.
-----------
Brock smiled as he danced, apparently pleased with himself. Not only had he gotten the attention of two girls, but he had also attracted an entire crowd that liked him, too. Pleased with this thought, he belted out another chorus. But when he got to
"Plus you've got a great big he-ah-art!", there was a sudden crash from offstage, causing the entire chorus line to gasp.
"What's going on?" Ash asked, apparently panicked. Everyone else fled the stage as Jessie and James appeared on the stairwell behind Brock.
"And you've got a great big mouth!" Jessie chided Brock.
"That's not how the song goes!" Brock protested.
"Who cares how the song goes? We're taking the stage now!" and Jessie stuck out her foot, sending Brock falling to the ground with a thud..."
