Just as they leave the [[Pokémon Center]], [[Nurse Joy]] appears and asks if they’re going to the [[Opelucid Gym]]. The note in her hand says that the Opelucid Gym has been closed, much to Ash’s dismay. {{an|Iris}} expresses joy at the news, which baffles Ash. Suddenly, a luxury limousine rolls up behind them and a man with a red suit and ponytail steps out. He asks Ash if he is "the A-class {{pkmn|Connoisseur}} {{an|Cilan}}," Iris points out the real Cilan. The man picks up Cilan like a child and throws him in the back of the limo, saying that he has an invitation from someone named [[Mr. Hatterly]]. Cilan holds his bumped head as his friends protest this abuse, but the man says that they are all invited and throws them in as well. The man explains that Mr. Hatterly, a "very prominent citizen" from [[Stonesthrow Town]], has requested a skilled Pokémon Connoisseur and sought Cilan as his first pick.

Mr. Hatterly's butler enters a dark room with Cilan and his friends. Spotlights turn on and illuminate Cilan and a man in flashy clothing | Mr. Hatterly's butler enters a dark room with Cilan and his friends. Spotlights turn on and illuminate Cilan and a man in flashy clothing, who the butler introduces as [[Ricard Nouveau]], another A-class Pokémon Connoisseur. Ricard details the significance of being an A-class Connoisseur as he walks over to and greets Cilan. As they exchange hands, Ricard says that he has heard of Cilan’s skill, but sniffs his hand and says that he "reeks of inexperience." The butler introduces Mr. Hatterly, who is the father of the girl named Marigold. Marigold bows and coyly escapes behind her father. Mr. Hatterly has the curtains be opened in full, allowing the gardens outside to be seen. Ash and Iris run outside and see a {{p|Petilil}} and a {{p|Whimsicott}}, each of which Ash scans on his [[Pokédex]]. Mr. Hatterly begins to say that it is almost time for his daughter to have her first Pokémon, one that is as exceptional as she is. This is why he has invited the two Connoisseurs: to pick out the perfect first partner for Marigold. Ricard has no problem with this, but Cilan reminds him that a Pokémon Connoisseur’s job is to "choose, raise, and recommend a Pokémon’s moves" and that they must first get to know the client, Marigold. Cilan asks her what Pokémon she plays with in the garden, but she turns away and hides behind her father out of fear, but Cilan catches a scent from her as she does so. Mr. Hatterly says that Marigold is friends with all the Pokémon. | ||
Suddenly a rustling bush appears and reveals an elderly man. The man reacts in contempt and announces himself as Fauxgundy, the "legendary S-class Pokémon Connoisseur." He holds up a badge as proof of his superior rank. Mr. Hatterly and the butler both apologize, but Cilan finds something strange. Fauxgundy walks over to Marigold to show them all how he would do it. Fauxgundy begins to sniff Marigold all over, which freaks her out. He ignores him and begins to sniff the Pokémon in the garden, reviewing Petilil, Whimsicott, {{p|Sewaddle}}, {{p|Deerling}}, and {{p|Blitzle}} before settling on a {{p|Lillipup}}. He brings it over and claims that Lillipup is Marigold’s favorite Pokémon because it smells like her shampoo. But Mr. Hatterly explain that he had used Marigold’s shampoo on Lillipup. Lillipup snatches Fauxgundy’s badge just as Cilan asks to see it again, and Lillipup begins to lick the badge, revealing that the S-class mark was just a sticker covering a C-class mark and the Fauxgundy turns out to be Burgundy. The butler wastes no time in removing her from the premises. | Suddenly a rustling bush appears and reveals an elderly man.
