The episode starts with [[Jessie|Jessilina]] using {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} against Ursula's Plusle and Minun. Jessilina commands Seviper to use {{m|Haze}} and Yanmega to use {{m|SonicBoom}}. It creates a beautiful spinning move, taking a few points from Ursula's score. Plusle and Minun use a combined {{m|Spark}} to break it into a dazzling shower of sparkles, deducting more points from Jessilina's score. Yanmega lifts Seviper into the air. Plusle and Minun use {{m|Helping Hand}} to power up. Yanmega uses {{m|Silver Wind}} and Seviper charges with a {{m|Poison Tail}}. Silver Wind hits Seviper's tail, sending a twirl of poison beams at the Cheering Pokémon and deducting their points. To counter, they use a combined Spark attack powered by Helping Hand, creating an explosion followed by a shower of blue and green sparkles, leaving them vulnerable. Seviper is released while Plusle and Minun twirl into a tumbleweed-like formation using Spark, then at the last second they split, Plusle lunging towards Seviper while Minun launches in the air towards Yanmega. Two great balls of light appear with a popping sound. Both of Jessilina's Pokémon fall, unable to battle, and Ursula wins the match.

The episode shows many Pokémon battling, and shows part of a battle between Dawn with {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} and {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}} against an unnamed coordinator with a {{p|Mightyena}} and a {{p|Houndoom}}. Cyndaquil uses {{m|Flame Wheel}} and Mamoswine uses {{m|Ice Shard}}, pulling off the first stage of flame ice. However, the ice melts halfway through, shocking Dawn and Mamoswine.  Cyndaquil collides with the Dark and Bite Pokémon, creating a fire explosion.  Dawn wins and moves on in the competition, but she is still disappointed that her attempt at Flame Ice was unsuccessful.  She is then shown practicing the move, but--once again--the ice melts too early. {{Ash}} tries to comfort her by telling her that it looked great, but {{an|Brock}} suggests that she try a more reliable move. Ursula is shown hiding behind a door, grinning smugly, then walking away.  Later, both Dawn and Ursula are shown winning their matches, putting them in the finals together. In the hair dressing room, they argue, Ursula pulling the ''Dee Dee'' card. {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} looks from side to side as they argue.  Ursula leaves as Dawn says to Piplup, "I should calm down. No need to worry."

Dawn sends out Mamoswine and Cyndaquil, the Ball Capsule creating a torrent of lightning bolts, then Cyndaquil falls playfully on Mamoswine's tusks, beautifully blasting fire.  Ursula sends out Plusle and Minun, surrounded by petals created by the Ball Capsules.  At first, no one could see her Pokémon, but then the petals scattered, revealing the cheering Plusle and Minun.  When they landed, they touched their tails together, creating sparks everywhere.  [[Johanna]] and her {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} are then seen watching TV.  Johanna says, "Of all the Pokémon Dawn could face, it had to be those two in the finals," referring to the Diamond-Dandruff incident that earned Dawn her nickname "Dee Dee".  Dawn commands Mamoswine to use Ice Shard, which it then eats, like [[Ash's Grotle]] did with its {{m|Energy Ball}}.  Cyndaquil uses {{m|Swift}} to surround Mamoswine, then lands on the ice spike, blasting fire.  They charge, and Mamoswine uses {{m|Take Down}}.  Plusle and Minun jump up to dodge, and subsequently use {{m|Encore}}, losing Dawn points.  Mamoswine and Cyndaquil then glow a dulled color.

* While Dawn is watching Ursula's battle against Jessilina, a male coordinator next to her wears the same clothing that Giovanni is seen wearing prior to the {{series|Best Wishes}}: an orange tuxedo and a light tan shirt under. The only difference is that the Coordinator is wearing a differently colored tie.

* This episode is similar to ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]'' in that both episodes feature the main Coordinator's unfriendly rival taking advantage of a childhood story to embarrass her in the middle of a performance. Both stories earned the character her nickname, though May received hers from Harley as a result of the story, whereas Dawn had had hers since childhood.
