An unknown amount of time ago, Yashio used to be a judge at [[Pokémon Showcase]]s. Due to unknown circumstances she quit being a judge, although it is implied she quit because of a lack of talented Pokémon Performers. It is also implied Yashio had some involvement in {{an|Aria}}'s rise to stardom, as Yashio was shown telling herself "there wouldn't be another girl like Aria". Yashio returned to the world of Pokémon Showcases at the [[Coumarine City]] Pokémon Showcase, although she was hesitant to go. As Pokémon Performers are now judged by the audience, she didn't return to judge, but instead just came to see if there were any talented Pokémon Performers around.  

She was first shown in her limousine, talking with her assistant who informed her that she would pick her up the day after. The limousine arrived at the Pokémon Showcase theater and Yashio was welcomed by a group of reporters who wanted to ask her about her return to Pokémon Showcases. She refused to say anything to the press however and went straight to a private box high up in the theater to watch the Pokémon Showcase go underway. She silently watched many Pokémon Performers compete in the first round, and ultimately witnessed how {{an|Serena}} and her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} botched their performance.  

After watching [[Shauna]] win the Pokémon Showcase, she quickly left. That night, she was shown in a hotel room, talking on the phone with an unknown person. She informed the person on the phone that there were no Pokémon Performers that left an impression on her. The next morning, when her limousine stopped in front of a red sign, she noticed Serena on the beach, embraced by her Fennekin and {{TP|Serena|Pancham}}. She immediately recognized her as the girl who had failed her performance. When later her assistant asked her if she had found anything, Yashio smiled and replied, "It's a secret".
