Laki is in the midst of filming another scene for his hit [[television]] show, Alolan Detective [[Laki]]. Just as he is about to explain the vital evidence to a group of five suspects, {{Rotom}}, with its blonde Laki wig, interrupts to correct one of Laki's lines. The director yells "Cut!" and an assistant tells Rotom not to interrupt filming. {{Ash}} tries to retrieve Rotom, but Rotom begins a spiel. Another assistant checks Rotom's claims and confirms that a {{p|Trumbeak}} feather was found at the crime scene in the Mermaid's Necklace case and not a {{p|Pikipek}} feather. Rotom boasts that such knowledge is to be expected from a true Alolan Detective fan. Laki tests Rotom's knowledge with a series of questions, and he is impressed after Rotom answers his queries correctly. After Laki shakes hands with it, Rotom is sent into a photography frenzy. Ash holds Rotom in his arms to avoid any further embarrassment. The show's producer, [[George Charanpino]], approaches and goes onto hand Ash and Rotom his business card. George formally invites Rotom to star in Alolan Detective Laki, leaving the Pokémon speechless. Over lunch, George explains to Ash that they have just started filming Season 5 of Alolan Detective Laki. With the series going for so long, George is looking to make an impact to keep things interesting – a new character. George explains that Rotom fits the brief, and Laki and his {{p|Smeargle}} agree. With the support of its idol, Rotom enthusiastically accepts the offer and agrees to play Laki's newest partner. | Laki is in the midst of filming another scene for his hit [[television]] show, Alolan Detective [[Laki]].

The following day, Ash reports the news of Rotom's new role to his {{ashcl}} at the [[Pokémon School]]. {{an|Mallow}} and {{an|Lana}} are thrilled, while Ash admits that he is becoming tired of Rotom's non-stop Laki impersonations. Rotom retaliates and mimics Ash’s voice; Rotom then imitates {{an|Kiawe}} when he's fired up, which Kiawe fails to recognize as himself and instead finds it creepy; and Rotom finishes off with an embarrassing, over-the-top, cutesy imitation of Mallow, causing her to turn red from embarrassment and angrily retort that she would never say those things while Lana tries not to laugh. After seeing Rotom's incredible mimicry, {{an|Sophocles}} comments that Rotom lacks any individual appeal. The blunt comment strikes Rotom's core and leaves it speechless. Sophocles puts on a pair of sunglasses and explains to Rotom that a first-rate actor has their own appeal and an understanding of character. The girls reaffirm Sophocles advice – that Rotom should just be its regular self. The class decides to practice several Alolan Detective Laki scenes with Rotom, with Ash playing Laki, {{AP|Pikachu}} as Smeargle, while Kiawe and {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}} | The following day, Ash reports the news of Rotom's new role to his {{ashcl}} at the [[Pokémon School]]. {{an|Mallow}} and {{an|Lana}} are thrilled, while Ash admits that he is becoming tired of Rotom's non-stop Laki impersonations.

Later, Rotom and Laki practice the scene where the pair decide to join forces and solve mysteries together. George is pleased with Rotom's performance, but points out that it will need to add more gestures to make its acting more impactful. Rotom happily accepts the criticism and is thrilled when George reveals that Rotom role will be called "Rotom the Pokédex". George makes an even bigger announcement - the production team will be filming overseas for the next season. Rotom is excited, but then notices Ash standing in shock. George explains that they will likely be overseas for half the year, but that time may extend to years if audiences like the series development. Ash is furious and refuses to let Rotom leave him. Rotom replies that Ash never {{pkmn2|caught}} it, and that it's technically free. Ash throws two [[Poké Ball]]s at Rotom in frustration, however the Pokémon dodges and swats them away. Ash storms off, with his Pokémon trailing behind. | Later, Rotom and Laki practice the scene where the pair decide to join forces and solve mysteries together.
