<i>When the Family Restaurant runs out of Big Mushrooms, Mallow visits Oranguru’s place in the forest to ask for more. When she arrives, she finds Meowth looking for some peace and quiet, but the place quickly becomes busy with Pokémon customers. Mallow decides to stay and help Oranguru, and she prepares scrumptious food and drinks for all kinds of Pokémon. When Tapu Koko turns out to be one of those customers, she prepares a special dish for the Island Guardian. Thrilled with its meal, Tapu Koko presents Mallow with a Grassium Z, and Oranguru gives her a Z-Ring! Now all our heroes have Z-Rings of their own!</i>

As she eats at [[Aina's Kitchen]], Olivia thanks [[Abe]] for the meal. {{TP|Mallow|Tsareena}} and {{an|Mallow}} emerge from the kitchen and present Olivia with another dish. After Olivia enjoys the food's fluffy yet crunchy texture, Mallow explains that it is her "Fluffy Radish" dish made from [[Poni Island]] radishes. As Olivia thanks Mallow, Abe asks Mallow to retrieve some more [[Big Mushroom]]s from "Master {{an|Oranguru}}". Mallow accepts the task and decides that she will give him a Poni radish in exchange for the mushrooms.

{{Ash}} arrives at Aina's Kitchen to return a frying pan he borrowed. Instead of finding Mallow, he sees Olivia waiting on tables. Olivia explains that Mallow is out on a chore. In the midst of showing off her waitress skills, Olivia manages to break a tray of glasses as she spins around. Seeing this, Ash decides that he will help out at Aina's Kitchen.

Similarly, Mallow offers her assistance at Oranguru's place. She puts straws in the Melemele Greens' drinks, which takes Oranguru by surprise. However, the Passimian troupe doesn't mind and reward her with a large coconut during their departure. Next, a {{p|Gumshoos}} enters the café, and Meowth reveals that it is actually {{OP|Officer Jenny|Gumshoos}}. Oranguru accepts a payment of one [[Pecha Berry]], and then it orders Mallow to prepare Gumshoos's order, which she accepts. Mallow considers what Gumshoos likes to eat and settles on some [[Moomoo Milk]]. Gumshoos looks at the drink for a moment before gulping it all down in satisfaction. Meowth is annoyed but declares that Mallow just got lucky.

Mallow prepares to make the Fearow a drink, and she eventually learns that they prefer [[Belue Berry|Belue Berries]]. She goes onto make a Belue and [[Durin Berry]] combination, and the refreshers go down well with the Fearow. Meowth is curious as to why Mallow selected the odd mixture, and Mallow replies that {{an|Lillie}} informed her of the complementary flavors. Mallow continues to serve the café's customers, with a {{p|Pancham}} and {{p|Pangoro}} enjoying a bamboo salad and later a pair of Heracross sipping a sap drink. Oranguru prepares its signature Flower Nectar Spring dish for some {{p|Ribombee}} and {{p|Cutiefly}}. [[Grandpa Forest]] arrives and Mallow presents it with a freshly squeezed [[Haban Berry]] drink. The order refreshes Grandpa Forest, who lets out a mighty roar to say thank you.

Meanwhile, {{an|Kiawe}} soars into Aina's Kitchen to drop off a canister of farm-fresh Moomoo Milk. When he opens the door he is pleasantly surprised to be greeted by Ash and Olivia as they serve the diner's tables, and he goes on to assist. Later on, Lillie, {{an|Lana}} and {{an|Sophocles}} arrive at the busy eatery to also lend a hand. Olivia drops several plates, but {{TP|Lana|Primarina}} and the other Pokemon manage to catch them in time. Without Mallow, Abe is beginning to feel the pressure as {{Rotom}} calls for another ten juices to be made.

The night begins to settle in and {{p|Shiinotic}} takes its post as the Oranguru Café's light source. Meowth orders another drink, and this time Mallow makes it for him. He has his doubts, but a quick sip and Meowth finds the drink to be delicious. A sudden knock at the door and {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} arrives. Oranguru is happy to see the guardian deity again and suggests that Mallow make its order. Mallow begins to panic from the pressure, but Oranguru assures her by placing its hand on her shoulder. Shaymin and Tsareena chirp in their support, so Mallow pledges to do her best. Mallow grabs the Poni radish she had given to Oranguru earlier and begins to make a dish from it. Some peeling, squeezing and kneading later, she places the dough into a pan heated by a {{p|Torkoal}}. Mallow places the piping hot loaves onto a leaf, but she is still not satisfied with her efforts. She goes on to whip up a "Fluffy Radish Burger", topped with honey, nuts and a Pecha Berry. Mallow encourages Tapu Koko to eat up. The island guardian tosses the dish into the air and consumes it while inside its protective shell. Tapu Koko opens up again and a clean plate lands on the serving counter. Mallow remains confused and awaits feedback. Tapu Koko lets out a cry before presenting Mallow with a [[Grassium Z]] for her efforts, before vanishing. Meowth informs Mallow that the gifted [[Z-Crystal]] is a symbol of Tapu Koko's gratitude and approval of her cooking. Mallow recalls her busy but fulfilling day, and settles on making Aina's Kitchen an eatery for both human and now Pokémon customers. Meowth is impressed with the idea and declares that he might even drop by for a Fluffy Radish Burger sometime. Oranguru gives Mallow the ordered Big Mushrooms and as an additional thank you, an old [[Z-Ring]].
