As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} walk down a road at sunset, Serena mentions that they might not make it to a [[Pokémon Center]] before nightfall. Ash suggests they camp out for the night. {{an|Serena}} is hesitant to the idea, but once her friends offer her accommodations, she relaxes. At the camp, {{an|Clemont}} has prepared a meal for the group, who are impressed with his cooking skills. Serena offers macarons that she had baked earlier as dessert, but when the basket is opened, it is empty. While the kids wonder, it is revealed that {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} has stolen the macarons to eat for itself. Clemont soon notices this and chases after Chespin, who crashes into the tent before swallowing the last macaron. As Serena and Ash fix the fallen tent, Clemont apologizes for what Chespin did, but the group reassures him it was no big deal. Ash suggests a {{pkmn|battle}} to give the bloated Chespin some exercise, and Clemont agrees.

Ash uses {{AP|Froakie}} and starts off the battle with {{m|Bubble}}. Clemont orders Chespin to dodge, but it is so full that it is too slow to avoid the attack. Clemont responds with {{m|Tackle}}, but Froakie easily dodges before ending the battle with {{m|Pound}} after Chespin's failed dodges. {{an|Bonnie}} teases that with Chespin in its current state, even her {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} can beat it, and Ash encourages them to battle. Clemont begins with Tackle, but Chespin slips and slides at Dedenne's feet, who electrocutes it for an easy win.

As the group starts going to bed, Clemont remains outside, determinedly building Chespin an exercise machine. While he works, Chespin follows an alluring smell into the forest. Clemont completes his machine, naming it the "Overeating Fat Reduction Exercise Gear." As morning comes and Chespin continues to wander away, the machine refuses to stop and classically explodes, prompting Serena, Ash, and Bonnie to leave their tents. Clemont finally notices Chespin's absence, so the group calls after it. Meanwhile, Chespin follows the smell to a house in which an old woman named {{OBP|Carrie|XY015}} is cooking. After Chespin falls asleep near the door, Carrie notices it and brings Chespin inside. Back at camp, Clemont worries that Chespin hates him because he forced it to battle.

When Chespin wakes up, Carrie has just finished baking macarons. She takes Chespin outside and lets it eat them, whereupon Clemont discovers the house and watches from the bushes. Clemont feels guilty for what he put Chespin through and walks away. When he returns to the group, Clemont tells the others that he let Chespin be because it looked happy. At the house, Carrie's husband [[Wylie]] has returned from a tournament. Hungry, he begins to grab a macaron, but his wife snatches them away, saying that he will have to battle her first if he wants to eat them. The husband is skeptical that his wife can beat him, but she says she has a secret weapon, Chespin. Wylie agrees, on the condition that the woman forgive him for what he said yesterday, to which his wife responds that on the account of her win, he apologizes.

 

Inside the house, the couple explain their quarrel. Wylie then brings out a cake he bought for his wife as an apology. The two make up, and suggest that they all eat the cake together. Afterward, Chespin explains that it did not run away because it hated Clemont, and the two reconcile. As the group walks on towards the next gym, they realize that they again will not make it to a Pokémon Center before dark. This time, Serena is the one who suggests they camp!
