<i>When Dawn wakes up to a bad hair day, there's only one solution: have Piplup use Bubble Beam to fix her hair! Yep, it's just another typical morning on the road for our heroes until Pikachu catches the eye of a wild Buneary. Dawn wants to catch it for the upcoming Pokémon Contest, but it's too shy to stick around for long. And when Buneary comes back, both Ash and Dawn want to catch it, but Buneary's too slick for Piplup to handle. That means Ash and Pikachu get a chance!

Dawn takes the lead and has Piplup attack Buneary with Bubble Beam, taking the first opportunity. Ash lets her go first. Piplup misses with {{m|Peck}}, but attacks with Bubble Beam. However, Buneary's {{m|Ice Beam}} freezes the attack, stunning everyone. Buneary uses {{m|Dizzy Punch}} to knock Piplup down. Buneary seems to be trying to impress Pikachu, and Piplup is now {{status|confusion|confused}}. Dawn doesn't know how to treat the condition until Brock tells her to [[recall]] Piplup. But before she can do so, Buneary knocks out Piplup with {{m|Bounce}}.

Dawn recalls Piplup and lets Ash take his turn. Pikachu gets ready to battle, but Buneary acts differently, not willing to attack. They finally notice Buneary is [[LagomorphShipping|attracted]] to Pikachu. Ash tries to throw a {{i|Poké Ball}}, but Buneary freezes everybody with Ice Beam, though {{AP|Starly}} escapes the blast. Buneary dances with Pikachu, spinning and whisking him away.

Buneary suddenly stops crying, ears perking up at something. Suddenly, a glass ball captures Buneary, locking her into [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's mecha]]. Starly flies away while Pikachu attacks with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However the {{type|Electric}} [[move|attack]] is diverted to hurt Buneary. Croagunk finds the frozen group and uses Poison Jab to free them. Starly arrives and leads the group to Team Rocket. Pikachu decides to surrender against Team Rocket, and they don't hesitate to capture Pikachu into another glass capsule. Pikachu orders them to release Buneary, but they refuse. Ash and the others find Team Rocket. Buneary tries to free herself with Dizzy Punch but it fails, and Pikachu uses {{m|Iron Tail}} to try to escape. Ash tries to rush over, but Team Rocket blocks him. Jenny arrives and connects Team Rocket as the factory thieves. Pikachu frees himself as Team Rocket detaches a part of the mecha, lifting off with rocket propulsion. Pikachu frees Buneary with Iron Tail. Buneary use Ice Beam and Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to send the pod plummeting. The Pokémon jump off the falling pod. Ash catches Pikachu and Dawn catches Buneary.
