#64 "Mr Mimie Time"

    Ash is back near Pallet, and he and his friends stop by a Pokémon Circus, after failing to catch a wild Mr Mime. The ringmaster, Stella, is trying to find a Mr Mime because her own was pushed too hard by her, and now refuses to fight. She wants the new one to perform so the old one will be jealous and work hard again. Brock, lovestruck, promises to find her a new one. In the end, he dresses up Ash as one, and Stella, with tough training (whip) teaches him Mr Mime's tricks. But the circus night is interrupted by Team Rocket, who steal Mr Mime, thinking it's a real one. o.O; Ash's mother, meanwhile, has been watching the circus and realises that Mr Mime was Ash. She invites Misty and Brock back to her house, thinking that he'll come back soon once Team Rocket realise they've got the wrong Mime.

    A Mr Mime - the wild one from the start of the episode - comes into Ash's home, and his mother thinks it is her son. -_-; Then the REAL Ash comes home, having escaped Team Rocket. Ash's mother is now attached to Mr Mime and calls it Mr Mimie. -_-; Meanwhile, Team Rocket has attacked the circus to steal the real Mr Mime, but Stella runs with it, trying to protect it. Ash and Mr Mimie run after to help, and Mr Mimie makes barriers around Team Rocket. The circus Mime, not to be outdone, helps too. After seeing how Stella cares for it, Mr Mime performs with the circus again, while Mr Mimie stays with Ash's mother and does housework.
