{{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} are seen stopping beside a river to have lunch as they make their way to [[Nacrene City]]. As there will be a full moon later that night, Iris had picked berries in advance so that she could see the moon later. Meanwhile, Cilan is already cooking vegetable rice for the group, and prevents Ash from eating the berries. He then gives a bowl of Pokémon food to both {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. As Cilan makes final preparations for his meals, a {{p|Darumaka}} walks past and greets them.

As Cilan makes final preparations for his meals, a {{p|Darumaka}} walks past and greets them.


Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] on Darumaka. Iris, adored by Darumaka's cuteness, walks up to it and starts playing with its eyebrows. Darumaka, however, is having none of it, and Iris is blasted with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Cilan then comments on how strong-willed Darumaka is, and how it is said to bring good luck. Unknown to the group, an orange paw reaches out and grabs a bowl of Pokémon food that Cilan had prepared earlier. As Pikachu turns around and realizes its bowl had disappeared, it thinks that Axew had eaten it and alerts Ash. However, Axew, backed by Iris, denies taking the food. As they were quarreling, the group suddenly realizes that Darumaka is fast asleep.

As they were quarreling, the group suddenly realizes that Darumaka is fast asleep.


Curious as to confirm what the Pokédex says about Darumaka not falling when it is sleeping, Iris pokes Darumaka sideways. True enough, Darumaka tethers back and forth on its bottom. While the group is now mesmerized by Darumaka's ability, the orange paw then grabs the other bowl of Pokémon food. Pikachu turns in time to see another Darumaka running away with its food. Axew turns around thereafter, and thinking that Pikachu ate both of the Pokémon food, starts fighting with it. Ash and Iris manage to separate both Pikachu and Axew, and Pikachu explains that Darumaka took the Pokémon food. However, Cilan points out that Darumaka had been sleeping throughout their conflict, and could not have taken any of their food.

Suddenly, another Darumaka appears, holding both bowls of Pokémon food and Iris' berries. The group then finally realize that there are two Darumaka, and starts pursuing the Darumaka with the food. The sleeping Darumaka awakes instantly, uses Flamethrower between the group and its partner, before running away with its companion. Ash sends out {{AP|Oshawott}}, and commands it to use {{m|Water Gun}}. With a leap off the wall, the pair of Darumaka dodges the water attack, and executes two well coordinated Flamethrowers at Oshawott. Unable to dodge the attack, Oshawott took damage and fainted. The two Darumaka escape.

The two Darumaka escape.


Ash brings Oshawott to a [[Pokémon Center]], where it is attended to by [[Nurse Joy]] and her {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}}. Meanwhile, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} of [[Team Rocket]] are dining at a café in a town near a river. With a snap of her finger, Jessie calls for the waiter and orders a cappuccino, "and make it rocket fast". The waiter, apparently caught on to the word 'rocket', subsequently serves her 'the' cup of cappuccino, its cream taking on the shape of a bridge. With very clear intentions of what to do next, the cream is then stirred into the coffee.

The sky glows a reddish-orange as sunset approaches. Oshawott is fully healed and Ash recalls it into its [[Poké Ball]]. Iris passes a comment on the two Darumaka, and Nurse Joy subsequently reveals that together with a {{p|Darmanitan}}, the two Darumaka actually lived in harmony with the residents of the town they were in. However, the three Pokémon were not seen together anymore, and the two Darumaka suddenly started stealing food for no apparent reason. Seeming to have sidetracked from the Darumaka, Iris notices a [[clock tower]] in the middle of the city. Nurse Joy then explains to them that the bell of the tower had stopped ringing, and the tower would soon be demolished. Iris expressed regret when Ash's stomach started growling. Aware that they have not eaten after the Darumaka had stolen their food, the group stays at the Pokémon Center for dinner.

As there was a full moon on that night, Nurse Joy tells everyone that she will be preparing dumplings for them. Delighted, Ash and the group offer to help with the preparations. However, upon reaching the kitchen, the group were then greeted again by the two Darumaka, who were ready to escape with their dumplings. With much speed and agility, the two Zen Charm Pokémon jumped out of the window. Ash sends out {{AP|Pidove|Tranquill}} hoping to catch them, and at the same time to find out the reason behind the thefts. The two Darumaka continued jumping wildly and away from the group, and into an alley. They then jumped in opposite directions and split up at a T-junction.

Ash and Iris follows the Darumaka with the dumplings, while Cilan follows the other. Despite so, the two Darumaka eventually manages to evade the group, leaving them clueless as to where they had run off to. When they regathered, Pidove gestured to the two Darumaka who were then sneaking into the clock tower. The group followed.

Deep into the night, the Team Rocket trio is seen standing on top of a bridge. A figure materializes from deep within the fog, cloaked as they were, carrying a briefcase. As the figure approaches them and close to Jessie, they break into small talk. Facing away from each other, Jessie briefly mentions keeping warm with 'a cup of cappuccino', a phrase that was used to establish a trust with the stranger. The stranger slowly puts down the briefcase and then instructs the trio to receive instructions when they arrive at Nacrene City. As she proceeds to take her leave, the chill wind picks up, together with Team Rocket's will and determination to succeed in their next mission.

Ash and the group chases after the two Darumaka up the staircase of the clock tower. On realizing that Ash is following closely behind, the two Darumaka panic and speed up. When the group reaches the top, they find the partially moonlit room empty, until the two Darumaka are seen pressed against the top of the wall in a shadowy corner of the room. Without Ash knowing, the two quickly jumps off the wall and aims two coordinated Flamethrowers at him, to which he dodges just in time. However, in the heat of the action, the ladder at the back of the room caught fire, setting the room ablaze with reddish-orange sparks.

Ash sends out Oshawott, and the Sea Otter Pokémon aims its Water Gun at the burning ladder. As the flames started to extinguish, the ladder collapses, and the two Darumaka jump up, once again aiming their Flamethrowers at Ash. Immediately, Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and in a clash of fire and electricity, an explosion follows. Ash then commands Oshawott to attack the two Darumaka with Water Gun, an attack which hit and sent both Darumaka flying into the air. However, the pair countered by {{m|Rest|Resting}} while they were being hit, and they landed softly, tethering about their bottoms like an egg, upright on its broader end.

As Ash and the group inch closer to inspect, the two Darumaka suddenly wake up and jump across to them. When Ash and Iris tells them they did not want to battle them, the two stare at each other blankly. Cilan adds that they were only trying to find out why the two of them were stealing food. The two Darumaka then decide to trust the group, and waddle across to underneath the hole which the ladder one stood. As they point to the top of the hole, Ash understands that they both want to get to the top, and decides to help them. With Cilan's assistance, Ash manages to climb to the top of the hole and sends out {{AP|Snivy}}. Grabbing Pikachu first, then the two Darumaka, Snivy was able to bring Ash and his companions safely to the top.

Before the group could proceed, Iris notices that there is a significant amount of heat generated from the floor above. The group then ascends a ladder to find a Darmanitan under a large bell, its {{a|Zen Mode}} having being activated. Ash checks his Pokédex. Cilan explains that during Zen Mode, Darmanitan's Special Attack increases significantly, giving rise to its {{t|Psychic}} abilities. Its physical attacks, however, are compromised.

Iris complains about the heat generated by the Darmanitan. Meanwhile, the two Darumaka unwrap the bag with the dumplings, allowing Darmanitan to guide the dumplings to its mouth using {{m|Psychic}}. Ash then realize that the Darumaka are stealing food to feed the immobile Darmanitan, while Cilan notices that as long as Darmanitan is in Zen Mode and is using its Psychic abilities, it will generate a lot of heat. Iris questions why Darmanitan does not change back into its Standard Mode despite having being fed dumplings, and the two Darumaka returns with the answer - a thick metal rod in the shape of a question mark. Cilan suspects the rod to be used as a hook, and the group soon realizes that the bell Darmanitan is sitting under is actually floating!

Cilan extrapolates that Darmanitan actually prevented the heavy bell from dropping to the bottom of the clock tower when the hook had broken. Incapable of motion, Darmanitan had activated its Zen Mode, in which it used Psychic to levitate the bell. However, that also meant that it was not able to eat, causing the two Darumaka to steal food to feed their immobile companion. Iris then applauded their efforts, causing the two Darumaka to smile.
