Somewhere in the forest, {{Ash}} has met the eye of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, who reminds him of the Trainer rule: they must now battle. Ash agrees, and the opposing Trainer introduces herself as {{an|Penelope}}, and releases her Pokémon, {{p|Sylveon}}. Ash has never seen the Pokémon before, and takes out his [[Pokédex]] to identify it as an [[evolution]] of {{p|Eevee}}. {{an|Clemont}} tells him that Sylveon is a {{t|Fairy}} type, which is news to Ash. And Bonnie says that {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} is also the same type. Despite never having battled or previously known the type, Ash sends out {{AP|Froakie}} to battle. Before battling, Penelope asks Ash to promise one thing: that on occasion of her win, Ash will have to stay with her a while; flustering {{an|Serena}}. Ash, confident in his abilities, agrees, and begins the battle with a {{m|Bubble}}. Sylveon counters with {{m|Fairy Wind}}, which sends Froakie crashing into a tree. Sylveon follows up with {{m|Moonblast}}, but Ash instructs Froakie to jump out of the way, causing the tree's fruits to fall. Froakie hits the falling fruit at Sylveon, who hits them out of the way with its feelers. Ash claims that the attack was a decoy, and Froakie leaps from above with {{m|Water Pulse}}, which briefly dazes Sylveon. Ash sends Froakie to finish it, but Penelope has one final weapon, {{m|Attract}}. Froakie falls immediately and deeply in love with Sylveon. Ash commands it to pull it together, but Froakie does not listen. Sylveon uses {{m|Draining Kiss}} and kisses the enamored Froakie on the cheek, draining its energy and sending it to the floor, fainted. Ash runs over to retrieve Froakie, and Penelope tosses him an [[Oran Berry]] to heal Froakie. She says that since she won, as promised, Ash will be with her for a while, making Serena even more shocked.

Back at the kindergarten, the kids fawn over Ash's Pikachu, and the travelers in turn release all their Pokémon for the children to play with, much to the kid's excitement. In the halls, Ash sees a child running away, unbeknownst to them the same boy who approached Froakie. The professor identifies him as [[Randall]], and goes to get him. Penelope explains that Randall actually loves Pokémon, but gets scared easily. As Ash and his friends show their Pokémon to the children, Sylveon offers Pokémon food to Froakie, who shakes its head and blushes, still embarrassed by its actions in battle. Ash tells it to cheer up. The professor returns with Randall in hand. Ash shows him Froakie, but Randall is scared to touch it or feed it, despite Ash and the group's reassurances. Hiding his face with his hat, Randall remembers a time when he was younger and first encountered Pokémon. Small Randall was watching a {{p|Hoppip}} under his back porch, when a {{p|Beedrill}} appeared behind him, scaring Hoppip and causing him to accidentally harm Randall, who watches, crying, as it hops away. Now, Randall explains he just wanted to be friends with the Pokémon. The group urges him not to worry about it too much, but Randall is still unconvinced.

Just then, a semi-truck backs into the yard. The side opens revealing a colorful set and two "performers", who bid the children to watch as they start to juggle. The children, including the travelers, rush excitedly to the truck, while Penelope and the professor remain behind, confused. The "performers" say that they are volunteers, here to give the children a wonderful time, and Ash says that he wants to try juggling, too. James, in a {{p|Beartic}} costume, comes out from the side of the truck and gives Ash permission to have a "beary good time." Ash, Randall, and the rest of the children walk up onto stage to play. Team Rocket passes out balls to the children while Randall sits down behind a set piece, Froakie is also unamused. As the children throw the balls in the air, smoke is released, obscuring the teachers' view. As the children scream, Ash tells them to exit the truck, which they do, as the smoke is thinning. As Ash checks that everyone made it down, alone on the stage with Sylveon and Pikachu, two nets come down and trap the two Pokémon, sending Ash flying offstage. The door to the set closes and Team Rocket shed their disguises from on top the truck. Ash demands they give the Pokémon back, but Team Rocket drives off at full speed. Ash runs after the truck, followed by {{p|Fletchling}}, and grabs onto the back just as the truck rounds a bend. At the kindergarten, the teachers realize that Randall is missing.  

Noticing Fletchling in their mirror, James sends out mud from their exhaust pipe and hits Fletchling, sending it back. Inside, Randall and Froakie surprise each other and notice Pikachu and Sylveon, who are trapped in glass containers. Back at the kindergarten, Ash's friends realize that Randall is still on the truck. Accompanied by Penelope, they decide to go save them. Inside the truck again, Froakie tries to break the containers with Bubble and Water Pulse, but to no avail, while Randall looks on. Ash has managed to open the truck's back door and struggles into the truck, reassuring the Pokémon and Randall, promising to release them. Sooner down the road, Fletchling cleans off its feathers when {{an|Bonnie}}, Serena, Clemont, and Penelope drive up, asking what happened. On the truck's stage, Ash combines forces with Froakie to try and break Pikachu and Sylveon out of captivity. Together, they ram up against the containers repeatedly, but with little effect. Ash asks Randall to help, but he is reluctant and self-doubting. Ash convinces him by saying that he need Randall's help to save everyone, and together the three break Sylveon free, who thanks Randall with its feelers. Pikachu is also released, and at last Randall feels comfortable with Pokémon.
