Nope, unfortunately not; they're a bit more villainous here--their main plan to use a pied piper-esque flute to lure Pokémon away during the show is tame, but it's strongly implied (if not outright stated; I'll have to read it again) that they nearly pull an Erik with Brock and a chandelier--Togepi saves him with Teleport just in time.
