On their way to Floaroma City, Ash & Co. come across another Pokémon Contest. Dawn is eager to enter and try to get her own ribbon. While playing, Aipom gets caught on a cliff and is saved by Jessie. Jessie soon requests to Ash that she can use Aipom in the Contest, to which Ash agrees. Who will win?

On the way to Floaroma Town Ash and friends arrive at a cake shop where they meet Theresa and her aunt Abigail, who run the shop. They find out that a annual bake-off will be held soon and usually Abigail wins it making her special cake with her Pikachu, Sugar. However, Sugar recently left leaving Abigail sad and debating whether or not she will be entering the contest this year. Theresa convinces Ash to let Abigail borrow his Pikachu for the contest, and pretend that it is Sugar, and he agrees. However, Team Rocket once again threatens to ruin the plan.
