Narrator: The City of Townsville! And everyone's getting some much-needed exercise. (transitions to a view of townspeople exercising) Like the villains for example.

Cuts to several shots of Mojo Jojo jump roping, Fuzzy Lumpkins lifting trees, HIM doing gymnastics and Princess partaking in ballet.

The scene immediately transitions to the Mayor's office.

Narrator: Looks like the Mayor is also getting his fair share of exercise with some arm curls!

The scene transitions to close up of the Mayor trying fruitlessly to open a pickle jar and the camera zooms out after three seconds.

Mayor: (struggles to open a pickle jar, quivering with every attempt to get it open) Ngh! Hrrragh! Confounded caps! MISS BELLUM!?

Miss Bellum: I'm right here, sir.

Mayor: Could you open this again, please?

Miss Bellum: (sighs and opens the jar with zero effort) Here you go, sir. (she hands it back)

Mayor: Thanks, Miss Bellum! (he takes a pickle and eats it)

The scene transitions to Little Tokyo Townsville.

Narrator: And yes, even our favorite little heroines, the Powerpuff Girls are exercising their mind and spirit as they dabble in martial arts. And where will they learn that? Why in the Martial Arts Training School in Little Tokyo Townsville, of course! Karate, judo, tae kwon do, kung fu and everything that comes to martial arts came together into one.

Buttercup: (grumbles with her arms crossed) I still don't get why we have to go to this dumb dojo. I mean, don't we kick plenty bad guy butt already?

Blossom: Buttercup, need I remind you that martial arts is about more than just self-defense, it also helps to develop integrity, discipline and spiritual balance.

Bubbles: Wow, Blossom! That's pretty deep!

Butterfly: I'll say!

They soon heard a gong ring and they become more excited than ever to begin their lesson.

Bouquet: (excitedly gasped) IT'S STARTING!

The Girls and the students fall in line as the sensei presents himself and proudly watches over his students.

Sensei: Konnichiwa!

Girls/Students: KONNICHIWA!

Sensei: (he whispered to viewers) That means 'greetings' in Japanese.

Buttercup: (grumbles) Whatever.

Sensei: (he cleared his throat) Ahem, I am Sensei Rooki-san and I'll be your teacher for today's lesson.

Buttercup: This'd better be good.

Blossom: Shhh!

Bouquet: (whispered) We're in the middle of class!

Buttercup: (quietly) Okay, okay! Sheesh! (crosses her arms, disgruntled)

Rooki-san: Now, before we begin, what are the three principals that define martial arts?

Blossom raises her hand and Rooki-san answers.

Rooki-san: Yes, Blossom-san?

Blossom: Integrity, discipline and spiritual balance.
