The episode opens with {{an|Dawn}} training {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} for their next Contest battle while {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}} and their Pokémon look on. Piplup is excited about its good skills in training and collapses from exhaustion. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} are complaining about walking up a slight grade, with noticeable signs of putting on weight. Though a bit portly around the edges, the exhausted Team Rocket's stomachs begin to rumble, and {{MTR}} mentions that an all-you-can-eat restaurant is up ahead.

The three recount their days working at the summer school and eating tons of food. The three then get into a small dispute about [[Jessie]]'s impersonation of Jessilina. At the Pokémon Center, [[Nurse Joy]] says that Piplup will be just fine and mentions that the reason for Piplup's exhaustion is over training. Dawn is worried for Piplup's outcome, and everyone agrees to take everything a little easier.

At the buffet, Team Rocket is gorging themselves with masses of food and the plates are stacking up. Jessie notices that Meowth's charm is beginning to sink into his forehead. And James pushes it in almost submerging it in Meowth's head, and says it's like "cream cheese". The three all laugh at each other for being just a bit pudgy. Jessie gets angry and institutes an immediate work out session to become a "fighting machine". They all have their dreams of success (Jessie as an actress, Meowth on {{an|Giovanni}}'s lap and James with training). They decide to go back to the basics and become like their days of old, when they began to try to capture {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}. When Team Rocket is just about to leave, an old couple calls them "a couple of nice youngsters" when they give up their table to them. They feel the guilt of being nice.

Back at the Pokémon Center, Dawn sits at Piplup's bedside and Piplup wakes up. Dawn begins to cry out of sorrow for all the things that have caused Piplup to collapse from exhaustion. Piplup falls asleep in Dawn's arms. Dawn walks out to find Ash talking to {{an|Professor Oak}} who Dawn still calls "The Poetry Man". Professor was telling Ash about {{AP|Gliscor}} about its weak spots and to pay attention to agility when raising his Gliscor. Professor Oak recommends to Dawn to exchange information with other Trainers and coordinators. Team Rocket are beginning their exercise routine, including {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} and {{TP|James|Carnivine}}.

Back at the Pokémon Center, Brock, Ash and {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} are helping Nurse Joy by doing the dishes, as well as {{AP|Chimchar}} and {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}. {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} tries to eat the food for everyone, but {{AP|Staravia}} and {{AP|Turtwig}} protects the food knowing full well of Swinub's eating habits. {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} shows herself off in the mirrored side of a counter and Pikachu and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} sigh. {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} just looks at itself in shiny metal. Everyone gets hungry and Ash begs Brock to make some food. Brock is caught in a trance in helping Nurse Joy. He goes into a small story about his need to help Nurse Joy and day dreams about his little romances, which Croagunk undoubtedly interrupts.

Team Rocket then appear in a fast moving car heading towards the Pokémon Center thinking about their new-old selves. They are planning a heist like they did in [[EP002|Viridian City]]. They got into the Pokémon Center without attracting attention. They split into two teams: Jessie and James on one and Meowth and the other Pokémon in the other. Meowth and the other Pokémon begin to stuff stolen Poké Balls into Carnivine's mouth, but Carnivine can't hold all the Poké Balls and spits out a couple, which hit the ground waking Piplup up. Piplup walks into the hallway and Piplup screams to grab the attention of all the others. Everyone claims that their Pokémon have been stolen and Nurse Joy says that the repository is empty. Ash and friends run out and see Team Rocket.
