==Plot==
The episode begins with {{an|Misty}} and [[Jessie]] getting excited about The [[Princess Festival]], a holiday with events, shopping sales and discounts, festivals, and games that are exclusively for women. The narrator explains this over Misty going on a shopping spree, making {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and even {{AP|Pikachu}} carry her purchases. After the title screen, Misty and Jessie are shown enjoying the perks of the Princess Festival in [[O-Hina Town]], which leads to Jessie catching a {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}. Jessie then drags [[James]] and {{MTR}} with her to do more shopping, where she encounters Misty. The two fight over a dress, only to have another shopper grab it while they aren't looking. They quickly forget about it when an announcement is made over the store's intercom about the Queen of the Princess Festival contest. Jessie and Misty decide to enter, fueled by their desire for the prize; Pokémon Princess Dolls. The other prize is a picture with a movie star named [[Fiorella Cappuccino]], but they don't show interest in that.

The next scene is the competition, where we see Fiorello, an announcer, and a line of pretty girls dressed in kimonos on a stage, including Jessie and Misty! The announcer then brings everyone's attention to the prize, a one of a kind set of Pokémon Princess Dolls. Fiorello, who is also an announcer for the competition, adds that he is part of the prize, too, causing an uproar in the crowd. Then, a startling announcement is made; the contest isn't just a beauty pageant... it's also a Pokémon battle competition! The contestants are split into divisions, and they must use four {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to {{pkmn|battle}}.

Misty then begs Ash and Brock to let her use their Pokémon for the contest. They reluctantly agree. Misty's team of four consists of Pikachu, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}, and her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. Then, Ash gets confused to why Misty wants to meet Fiorello, thinking Misty wants to win the contest to meet him. Misty explains that she just wants the dolls, because her [[The Sensational Sisters|sisters]] all had their own dolls sets, but she only got their hand-me-down dolls, which were broken by the time she got them. So she has always wanted a [[Pokémon doll]] set of her own.

So she has always wanted a [[Pokémon doll]] set of her own.


The next scene is a montage of Misty and Jessie winning several matches. During this scene, Jessie's team consists of {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, {{TP|James|Weezing}}, and Meowth. Misty and Jessie then face off in the finals, but not until after Jessie has a sad flashback. She talks about being a little girl, and how she, like Misty, never had a Pokémon Princess Doll of her own, while all the other little girls did. The story brings the emotional trio to tears, and James and Meowth give her support. When they're done with this, Misty and Jessie proceed with the match. Pikachu makes quick work of Arbok, Weezing, and Meowth. At first, Jessie and James lose hope that she will win the contest, but then Meowth reminds her that she caught a Lickitung earlier, and the battle continues! Lickitung easily defeats Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Vulpix with its tongue movements! Then, when Misty tries to send out {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} (because earlier, she said she planned on using her Starmie), but her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} pops out instead! At first, Misty is in despair, thinking that she can never win now! But in an unexpected turn of events, Lickitung's attacks give Psyduck a headache, triggering its potent psychic powers! Misty then wins the match with Psyduck's {{m|Confusion}}, while blasting off {{TRT}} in the process!

In the end, Misty sends the dolls to the [[Cerulean Gym]] to make her sisters jealous. As for Team Rocket, James, Meowth, Arbok, Weezing, and Lickitung dressed up as Pokémon dolls to make her feel better. Jessie was moved to tears, and pretended to be a Pokémon doll along with them.

The episode takes place sometime prior to ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]'', since [[Jessie's Lickitung]] is mentioned in that episode.
