{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are waiting at Port Valor on the [[Valor Lakefront]] for former traveling companion {{an|May}}. Just then a {{TP|May|Beautifly}} flies across the lake towards them. {{an|Dawn}} scans it with her [[Pokédex]], and the Beautifly lands on Ash's head. Ash wonders if he knows this Beautifly as a ferry comes towards them with May waving from the bow. After greeting each other on the pier, May gives Ash a wooden {{p|Teddiursa}} and {{an|Brock}} a wooden {{p|Ursaring}}. She then gives Dawn a present, which turns out to be a {{p|Piplup}} necklace. {{TRT}} are spying on the group, and grumpily note the arrival of the "[[Hoenn]] [[twerp]]ette". Their stomachs then rumble and they complain about being broke.

The group walks up some stairs and Ash asks about [[Max]]. May replies that her younger brother is back at the [[Petalburg Gym]], taking care of [[Norman|their father's]] Pokémon, just like Brock showed him. May reveals that she has been in [[Sinnoh]] for the past three days, as she wanted to do something in [[Snowpoint City]] first. She then sends out her newly evolved {{TP|May|Glaceon}}, explaining that there is an ice cave {{rt|217|Sinnoh|near Snowpoint City}}, where an [[Ice Rock|ice crystal]] makes {{p|Eevee}} evolve. May hopes her Glaceon will be perfect for the [[Johto]] Contests. She then shows Dawn her three [[Ribbon]]s, but not before saying that she can't beat either [[Drew]] or [[Harley]] at the moment. May then tells Dawn that Ash told her all about her, including her two recent losses in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of [[Pokémon Contest]]s, however May explains that her Johto Contest campaign isn't going very well either, so the [[Wallace Cup]] should be both of their comeback Contests. Ash's stomach then rumbles, and May reveals that she has made reservations at the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]], the most popular restaurant in Valor Lakefront.

The group enters the restaurant, much to Team Rocket's jealousy, and are greeted by the Maitre d'. He leads them to the next set of doors, but a young man bursts out of them and says that he will go and train, and that he will eat there if it is the last thing he does, before running off. The Maitre d' then leads them through the doors to a battlefield and explains that only those who beat the proprietor and his fiancée are allowed to eat at the restaurant. [[Roman]] and [[Kylie]] then introduce themselves, and the Maitre d' suggests that the group should battle two at a time and have [[Multi Battle|Tag Battles]]. May and Dawn decide to pair up, and so Brock and Ash get ready to battle first.

Brock selects his {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} while Ash sends in {{AP|Pikachu}}; Roman sends out {{p|Snorlax}} and Kylie sends out {{p|Munchlax}}. Dawn scans them both on her Pokédex. Roman suggests that they all launch their moves at the same time, and Ash and Brock agree. The judge then starts the battle. Snorlax uses {{m|Mega Punch}}, Munchlax uses {{m|Giga Impact}}, while Sudowoodo and Pikachu counter with {{m|Double-Edge}} and {{m|Volt Tackle}} respectively. Double-Edge breaks through Giga Impact, and Pikachu dodges Mega Punch before hitting with Volt Tackle. Both Snorlax and Munchlax are knocked out from the single blows. The swift victory takes Ash and Brock by surprise. Roman invites the winners to proceed through to the restaurant and place orders, but Ash says that it is all of them or none of them. Roman admits this round won't be so easy, and sends out {{p|Girafarig}} while Kylie calls out her {{p|Drifloon}}. May comments on how cute Drifloon is. Dawn then sends in {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, and May sends out {{TP|May|Blaziken}} which is looking stronger than ever.

Just as the judge is about to start the battle there is a loud crash and a waiter runs in from the restaurant saying that all the food has been stolen. Everyone is shocked, and May's eyes grow red with anger as she promises that the culprits won't get away with it. The group inspects the restaurant, finding it completely destroyed. The Chef reports that every morsel of food has been stolen. Roman starts to despair, but May sends out her {{TP|May|Munchlax}}. May suggests that Kylie send out hers too. Both Munchlax dash about the restaurant to pick up the scent of the food, though only May's picks up a scent trail, leading everyone to outside.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket are stuffing their faces. Munchlax, and the group, discover them, so they finish the food off before any of them can react. They then perform their {{motto}}. May is amazed by the new motto, but when Brock points out a fridge nearby, she gets angry again. Brock and Ash are about to intervene, but May and Dawn decide to handle the situation themselves with Glaceon and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} respectively. {{TP|James|Carnivine}} uses {{m|Bullet Seed}} and Seviper uses {{m|Poison Tail}}, but both are countered with a double {{m|Ice Beam}}, pushing them back into Team Rocket and freezing them all. Glaceon then uses {{m|Iron Tail}} to lift them into the air, and Buneary uses {{m|Bounce}} to send them blasting off. Buneary then starts fawning over Pikachu, which May notices, causing Dawn to comment that Buneary is a big fan of Pikachu.

Back at the restaurant, Roman thanks the group for recovering the food and decides to let them eat without having a battle. The Chef adds that it will take some time to prepare the food, as it must be made fresh. May and Dawn then decide to have their Tag Battle while they're waiting. Girafarig and Drifloon face off against Piplup and Blaziken. Girafarig uses {{m|Bite}}, Drifloon uses {{m|Constrict}}, Blaziken uses {{m|Blaze Kick}} and Piplup uses {{m|Bubble Beam}}. Drifloon spins to bat away the Bubble Beam and grabs Piplup with Constrict while Girafarig dodges Blaze Kick before biting down on Blaziken’s ankle. To escape Drifloon's Constrict, Dawn calls for a {{m|Whirlpool}} attack. Both Drifloon and Girafarig are caught in the Whirlpool and pushed up towards the ceiling. May tells Dawn to get Piplup to use Bubble Beam, and when it hits she tells Blaziken to jump above them and use {{m|Fire Spin}}. The two attacks meet with Girafarig and Drifloon in the middle, creating a fusion of fire and water. The combination attack knocks out Girafarig and Drifloon. May and Dawn celebrate with high fives. Everyone compliments the battlers and then the Maitre d' announces that lunch is ready.

Following their meal, the group steps outside onto a balcony overlooking [[Lake Valor]]. May asks Ash if he still has his half of the {{to|Terracotta}} Ribbon, and both hold their halves up. May tells the group that it has become her lucky charm, causing Dawn to show the group the Ribbon that [[Johanna|her mother]] gave her, which is her lucky charm. Ash then reveals to May that [[Wallace]] suggested he enter the Wallace Cup with {{AP|Buizel}}, shocking May. And so Ash, May and Dawn all prepare to enter the Wallace Cup, all determined to win.
