In a locker room at [[Wyndon Stadium]], [[Marnie]] is looking forward to her one-on-one [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}. Ash, however, has instead just arrived at [[Spikemuth]] with [[Goh]], a group of people calling themselves [[Team Yell]] having told them that the battle would be held there. They enter the local [[Gym]], where they find [[Piers]] rehearsing with the Maximizers band. He is dissatisfied with the interruption, but nevertheless proceeds to introduce himself as the local {{type|Dark}} [[Gym Leader]], and the Pokémon as his fellow band members. When Ash introduces himself, Piers recognizes him, since Ash's next World Coronation Series opponent, Marnie, is actually his sister. He's also confused of why Ash is here instead of Wyndon Stadium, where Marnie is waiting for him. This revelation causes Ash to realize that Team Yell had lied to him, and grows all the more alarmed when Goh tells him that they don't have much time to get to [[Wyndon]].

Fortunately for Ash, Piers is ready to take full responsibility for Team Yell's actions and agrees to take Ash to Wyndon on his motorcycle. However, he also proceeds to drive quite slowly for safety reasons. As they approach Wyndon, Piers reveals to Ash that Team Yell is made up of Spikemuth {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s who are fans of Marnie and ready to support her in any way they can, like how they had lied to Ash regarding the location of his and Marnie's battle. While Ash says he'd be happy to battle at the {{DL|Spikemuth|Spikemuth Gym}}, Piers explains that Marnie can't use her full potential there, since the Spikemuth Gym lacks a {{cat|Power Spots|Power Spot}} required for [[Dynamax]]ing. This suits Piers just fine, since he prefers regular battles and doesn't use Dynamax, but it has also made the Spikemuth Gym unpopular and led to the town becoming almost completely deserted. Marnie had entered the World Coronation Series in the hopes of winning it to make Spikemuth more famous and revitalize it. Team Yell is hoping for this as well, but Piers blames himself for not taking on the duty himself.

At Wyndon Stadium, the scheduled battle time has come and gone, but Marnie refuses the idea of winning by default. Fortunately, Ash enters the battlefield just in time to avoid being disqualified. Team Yell, being part of the audience, berates Ash for making Marnie wait, but he snaps back at them for being the reason behind his lateness in the first place. Learning this, Marnie berates her fans, since winning through default wouldn't be a real victory in her eyes. Piers also appears next to Team Yell and makes his presence known by shouting out encouragements to his sister. Both Ash and Marnie express their resolve to win, with Ash taking his place at his own end of the battlefield just as Goh joins Piers in the audience, having made it here just in time thanks to a [[Flying Taxi]].
