On their way to Celestic Town, Ash and his friends have to take Piplup to the Pokémon Center after it collapsed from excessive contest training. Meanwhile, Team Rocket, who were following the group on a slope, decide to have lunch in a luxury restaurant. But then Jessie notices that Meowth's golden charm is buried under rolls of flab. The trio now realizes that, due to them having lead a rich and luxurious life ever since they had earned the money at the summer school, they have become lazy and grown a lot in flesh. Wanting to return to their former "sharp and cool" shapes, they start a harsh training session.
A girl who is seen in the Pokémon Center has a design very similar to Pietra.
This episode marks the first appearance of Mew in an episode of the anime (although it is merely in one of Team Rocket's fantasies). As a result, this means that all of the Generation I Pokémon have appeared in an episode of the anime at some point.
