Day 3, Morning
"Okay, you two..." Ash cooed as he brought Mizu and Umi in the bathroom. "Bath time!" Mizu and Umi cheered as Ash switched on the faucet...
"What's going on?" May asked as she stopped in the bathroom to wash her face.
"Misty asked me to give these two a bath." Ash explained as he fished Mizu from the towel hamper and set her in the water. "Want to help?" he asked as he reached for the bubble bath and poured in several capfuls of the bright green formula, making the water fill with bubbles.
"Azu!" Umi sneezed, spraying water into May's face.
"Bless you!" May replied as she started to scrub Umi.
Singin' in the bathtub, happy once again... Ash sang as he washed Mizu. Watching all my troubles, go swirling down the drain... At this, Mizu looked in the direction of the drain in an attempt to watch her "troubles go swirling down the drain"...after tugging on the stopper, she managed to drain the water!
"Mizu..." May sighed as Ash started the water again...
Several hours later...
"How's the bath going?" Misty asked as she entered the bathroom to check on Ash and May.
"Aside from Mizu letting the water out twice...so far so good." Ash called back as he reached to start the water for the third time.
"Ah, the traditional 'giving babies a bath'..." Max commented as he and Brock passed the bathroom, several board games in tow.
Ash checked to see if the faucet was running, but no water came out. Huh? He looked up the faucet to check to see if it was clogged--and received several gallons of hot water in his face!
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!" Ash screeched in pain. Umi, meanwhile, howled with laughter from her perch atop the faucet as Ash danced around in pain.
"Followed by the not-so-traditional 'hot-water-in-the-face' dance..." Brock joked as he passed by the bathroom.

"Okay...think you two can behave yourselves while May and I go get a few things ready? Ash asked. Mizu and Umi nodded assuringly...but Umi discovered the soap box. After several attempts at picking it up, she managed to dump the box's entire contents into the water! Both Azurills laughed as bubbles began spilling out of the tub and onto the floor.
"Here's a towel, Ash..." May started as she stepped into the bubble filled bathroom. "OH NO!!!!
'What?" Ash raced into the bathroom and gasped. "Not again!!!!"
"Look at it this way...at least they didn't make the tub overflow..." May assured Ash as she went to get buckets to clean up the mess...
---------
"There we go...all clean!" May cooed as she set the babies in their cribs. "They're all yours, Brock..."
"All right...I'm gonna sing something a little bit different..." Brock began as he tuned his guitar a little...then launched into a rousing melody:
I'm a rollin' stone from Pewter,
A rollin' stone from the plains...
I'm a rollin' stone from Pewter, boys,
And I'll oft be there again...
Well say, are you from Pewter?
That's what I wanted to know...
'Cause if we're both from Pewter, boys,
Let's show off our pride and joys...
"NO! NOT THE PEWTER YODEL SONG!!!" Misty began, but was cut off as Brock began to yodel:
O-del-oh-oo-i-odel-lo-i-dei-i...
O-del-lo-oo-i-olel-lo-i-dei-i...
O-del-lo-i-di-di-oh-o-del-lei-hi-di-oh
O-del-lo-o, o-del-lei-hi, o-del-o-hoo, o-del-lay-hi-odel-lo-hi-i-di...
"Actually, I think he's a great yodeler!" May protested as she listened to the babies giggle...
