During the Dance round of the Contest, Prinplup is last to act as lead. Before then, the competing Machop and Pachirisu had elbowed and tripped Prinplup respectively. When it is Prinplup's turn to lead, its moves become erratic. With the dance round over, the announcer calls a 15-minute interval. Pearl uses the interval to go backstage and speak to Platinum. As Pearl tries to remind Platinum about the upcoming round, Platinum, slumped on a chair with a disheartened look, announces her wish to forfeit the Contest, which shocks Pearl. Platinum expresses her fears that people may be intentionally sabotaging her performances, and stands by her decision despite Pearl's arguments, causing him to storm out. | During the Dance round of the Contest, Prinplup is last to act as lead.

Platinum holds her Prinplup's hand and proceeds to make her way to the contest organisers, but then spots Diamond at the open doorway, still dressed in his chef outfit and holding a plate of food inside a cover. Diamond tells Platinum that he brought her a treat that he made, causing Platinum to impatiently bark that Poffins are supposed to be fed before the contest. However, Diamond surprises Platinum by saying that the food he made was meant for consumption by Platinum herself. He proceeds to lift the cover to reveal a slice of pie.

However, Diamond surprises Platinum by saying that the food he made was meant for consumption by Platinum herself. He proceeds to lift the cover to reveal a slice of pie. While {{adv|Lax}} hands Platinum a fork, Diamond urges her to eat it before the interval ends. Platinum, knowing she has nothing to lose, begins to eat. Diamond empathizes with Platinum's performance anxiety by revealing how he used to feel the same way before every comedy act he performs on stage with Pearl, and says that he reminds himself that he reason he performs is to transfer the joy in himself to his audience. | ||
Having heard Diamond's speech, Platinum finishes her slice of pie, and after evaluating her attitude towards the Super Contest, decides to carry on to the Acting stage of the competition. With her renewed belief, she guides Prinplup through a series of coordinated appeals, knowing from what she had read through books about the origin of the Pokémon Contest, and how it spread joy between the coordinators, performers and audience. The three Super Contest judges agree that her Pokémon aren't acting at all, rather, they are truly enjoying the coordination of their performance. | Having heard Diamond's speech, Platinum finishes her slice of pie, and after evaluating her attitude towards the Super Contest, decides to carry on to the Acting stage of the competition.
