The story begins with a mysterious Gym Leader challenging all trainers to battle him for his one-of-a-kind Gym Badge, the Diamond Badge. Ash Ketchum, protagonist of the anime, is determined to win this Badge. However, he is also put through a dilemma of sorts; his friend Misty is upset that [[Forgotten Birthday|he never made good on his promise to take her to the movies for her birthday three weeks ago]], which she points out is an example of him focusing so much on his Pokémon training that he is ignoring his friends.

If you'd like to know how it ends, you'll have to check the full transcript on [http://www.fanpop.com/spots/pokemon/articles/87449/title/original-pokemon-live-script this site]; this show's tour was only for a few months. Or, I guess you could go watch the whole thing on [[YouTube]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgvIdkD_jnE starting here].

* [[Artistic License]]: MechaMew2's PoisonPowder knocks a trainer's Venusaur out in one hit, despite the truth that PoisonPowder isn't a damage-dealing move and [[
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Misty, to Ash.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: MechaMew2 learning Selfdestruct.
* [[Contrived Coincidence]]: MechaMew2 has learned every single move... except for Thundershock and Thunder. This gives Giovanni the perfect excuse to have Jessie and James kidnap Ash's Pikachu for him. Keep in mind that Giovanni keeps referring to the total amount of moves as 251, which it is in the second generation. This means that MechaMew2 has somehow learned ''the signature moves of two'' ''[[Olympus Mons|legendary Pokémon]]'' (Lugia's [[Blow You Away|Aeroblast]] and Ho-oh's [[Kill It
* [[Dawson Casting]]: The characters are pre-teens. The actors... aren't. Kind of inevitable, really.
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: {{spoiler|1=The original Mewtwo shows up and saves the day, using his telepathy and Ash's heart to give MechaMew2 a [[Care Bear Stare]].}}
* [[Former Teen Rebel]]: Delia
* [[Hey,
** Also, Giovanni is played by [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Maximilian Pegasus]].
** James is played by [[The Book of Mormon (
* [[Hoist
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Ash comes across as this since he is solely focused on obtaining the Diamond Badge, oblivious to Misty's feelings, and seemingly obsessed with Pokémon. However, in "I've Got A Secret", Ash sings about how he must move on from Pikachu's "departure" to follow his dream and become an adult. He gets over his idiocy by the end of the musical.
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: Well, not really, but it is revealed here that Giovanni used to date Ash's mom.
** The audio commentary on ''Spell of the Unown" mentioned that [[What Could Have Been|in the first draft]] of the live show, [[The Reveal]] would be made that Giovanni was Ash's dad.
* [[
* [[Nakama]]: Ash considers Pikachu, Misty and Brock his best friends for life ("My Best Friends").
* [[The Other Darrin]]: None of the human characters are portrayed by their anime voice actors. This is averted with the costumed Pokémon.
* [[Parent Service]]: During several of the songs, there were dancers in the background wearing skin-tight leotards.
* [[Team Rocket Wins]]: To date, this is the only time Jessie and James have ever actually brought Pikachu to Giovanni, [[Karma Houdini|and they suffer no consequences for it either.]]
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
* [[Villainous Lament]]: "The Best at Being the Worst"
* [[Villain Song]]: Giovanni's "It Will All Be Mine" and his [[Dark Reprise]] of "You and Me and Pokémon". Also, [[Team Rocket]]'s "Double Trouble".
* [["The Villain Sucks" Song]]: "The Best at Being the Worst" is Team Rocket doing this to ''themselves'', except they twist it around to make it sound like they're great for sucking so much and how it's their claim to fame.
