In [[Undella Town]], {{an|Cynthia}} tells {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} that the [[Pokémon Center]] has informed her of the [[Unova League]]'s location, which [[Jervis]] says is [[Vertress City]]. Cynthia suggests that the three head there right away so they will have time for preparations before the League. Anxious to get going, the three prepare to leave. Jervis suggests heading there via [[Opelucid City]]. The mention of Opelucid City shocks {{an|Iris}}, who offers an alternate route via the [[Village of Dragons]]. Curious to see Iris's [[hometown]], Ash and {{an|Cilan}} agree. Ash, Iris, and Cilan thank Cynthia for her hospitality, and they all say their goodbyes. After departing from Cynthia's villa, Ash vows that he will win the [[Vertress Conference]]. | In [[Undella Town]], {{an|Cynthia}} tells {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} that the [[Pokémon Center]] has informed her of the [[Unova League]]'s location, which [[Jervis]] says is [[Vertress City]].

Having walked through the woods for a while, they decide to stop and enjoy the lunch Jervis packed them. After letting out their Pokémon, they all sit down to eat. Ash and Iris enjoy their meals, and Cilan marvels at how the sandwich's components complement each other. The Pokémon are enjoying their lunch too, especially {{AP|Oshawott}}, who finishes his food fast. Oshawott is still hungry however, and notices{{AP|Pignite}} is near-full so he devours it in an instant. This angers Pignite, who fires a {{m|Flamethrower}} at Oshawott in revenge. This infuriates Oshawott and the two get in a fight. Ash tells them to knock it off, but Oshawott aims a {{m|Hydro Pump}} at Pignite anyway. However, the attack hits {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} instead and sends her flying. Naturally, Iris is terrified and goes to try to find Emolga. Ash, Cilan and the other Pokémon leave their meals and follow her. | |||
The three eventually find Emolga knocked out at the bottom of a cliff, and Iris retrieves her. Ash scolds Pignite and Oshawott for causing this incident and demands them to apologize, which they do. Suddenly, a female voice asks Iris if "that unattractive Emolga" belongs to her. Offended, Iris demands to know who insulted Emolga. Out of nowhere, a trio of elegantly-dressed girls and their Pokémon appear at the top of the cliff. The girl in the middle—the one who deemed Iris's Emolga unattractive—introduces herself as [[Moira]] and her {{p|Cinccino}}, Cinccinoette, as "the most elegant Pokémon in the world." Intrigued, Ash scans Cinccino on his [[Pokédex]]. Moira is accompanied by two other girls, [[Mona]] and [[Cher]], who show off their {{p|Lilligant}} and {{p|Roserade}}, Lilligantette and Roserade-ette as the "second- and third-most elegant Pokémon," respectively. Ash scans the other two Pokémon on his Pokédex as well. Moira explains that they came out here to get some fresh air to enhance Cinccino's beauty, but Iris's "ugly" Emolga soiled her beauty. This enrages Iris, who defends her Emolga. Moira then goes on to deem [[Ash's Snivy]] "uptight and pathetic," and concludes that every one of their Pokémon is "ugly and pathetic." Mona and Cher agree, and claim that they must leave so they don't catch the ugliness from the group's Pokémon, and so the three walk off. Ash and Cilan are annoyed, but Iris is furious and chases after them. Unfortunately, by the time Iris reaches the road, she is too late, as the three girls have already left in their tour bus. Iris is still determined to catch up to them, however, and the three head to the nearest town to track them down. | The three eventually find Emolga knocked out at the bottom of a cliff, and Iris retrieves her.

The employee answers that it is the tour vehicle of the [[Flower Garden Troupe]]. Surprised that the group has never heard of them, she goes on to explain that they are a very popular theater group expressing elegance in Pokémon in their shows, but only females and Pokémon may perform. When they aren't doing shows, they practice their acts in their headquarters down the street. Cilan thanks her for the directions, but the woman notes that only girls are allowed in their HQ, so only Iris would be allowed in. However Iris has a plan, and disguises herself and the boys as elegant ladies. Iris also tapes a yellow heart-shaped piece of paper onto Pikachu's tail to make him look female, and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} must wear a bow on his head to look more feminine as well. Ash asks Iris why he and Cilan have to do this just for her, but Iris points out that his Snivy was ridiculed too and he should want revenge as well. Though reluctant, Ash and Cilan go along with Iris's plan, and the three "ladies" enter The Flower Garden Troupe’s headquarters. | ||
Once they arrive at the club building, the receptionist asks why they have come. Iris responds that she needs to speak with "Lady Moira." The receptionist, thinking they are friends of Moira's, lets them in. Ash thanks her, but the receptionist is puzzled by Ash's masculine voice. | Once they arrive at the club building, the receptionist asks why they have come.

Moira says that in order for the Pokémon to behave elegantly, you need to add "{{tt|-ette|-san in the original Japanese version}}" to their names when addressing them. Ash whispers to Iris that he doubts this will make any difference, but he agrees to call Pikachu "Pikachu-ette". {{TP|Iris|Axew}} wants to come out, but Iris tells him to stay in and go along with it until the session is over. They then enter the first room. | Moira says that in order for the Pokémon to behave elegantly, you need to add "{{tt|-ette|-san in the original Japanese version}}" to their names when addressing them.

Moira says that the first rule in a performance is to always be aware of your audience, that way you will make the best impression. To practice, the three girls pose in front of a mirror with their eyes closed and praise their Pokémon's elegance, while Iris angrily grunts at their vanity. Ash embarrassingly imitates the pose, but Cilan keeps an open mind and reassures Ash. Pikachu and Pansage sigh, still not completely on board with | Moira says that the first rule in a performance is to always be aware of your audience, that way you will make the best impression.

Upon entering the next room, Moira explains Performance Rule Two: unless you and your Pokémon walk with style and grace, your Pokémon's beauty won't shine through. After saying this, Moira sets up a balance beam. The first test is that the Pokémon must be able to walk the balance beam without ever looking down. Snivy and Emolga easily accomplish this, but Moira says there is more to the test. With a push of a button, a pool of muddy water emerges from the floor under the balance beam. Iris asks why the sudden change. Cher explains that grace is harder than it looks: one wrong turn, and a Pokémon's beauty is soiled like a rose being thrown into filthy water—sinking, rather than blooming. Moira explains the first test is for the Pokémon to safely cross the balance beam. The Pokémon that makes it first to the other side of the balance beam is the winner. Though a risky task, Iris politely agrees to do it. | Upon entering the next room, Moira explains Performance Rule Two: unless you and your Pokémon walk with style and grace, your Pokémon's beauty won't shine through.
