Piplup is excited about his good skills in training and collapses from exhaustion. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is complaining about walking up a slight grade, with noticeable signs of putting on weight. Though a bit portly around the edges, the exhausted Team Rocket's stomachs begin to rumble, and {{MTR}} mentions that an all-you-can-eat restaurant is up ahead. | ||

The three then get into a small dispute about [[Jessie]]'s impersonation of Jessilinda. At the [[Pokémon Center]], [[Nurse Joy]] says that Piplup will be just fine and mentions that the reason for Piplup's exhaustion is over training. Dawn is worried for Piplup's outcome, and everyone agrees to take everything a little easier. | ||
At the buffet, Team Rocket is gorging themselves with masses of food and the plates are stacking up. Jessie notices that Meowth's charm is beginning to sink into his forehead. And James pushes it in almost submerging it in Meowth's head, and says it's like "cream cheese". The three all laugh at each other for being just a bit pudgy. Jessie gets angry and institutes an immediate work out session to become a "fighting machine". They all have their dreams of success (Jessie as an actress, Meowth on {{an|Giovanni}}'s lap and James with training). They decide to go back to the basics and become like their days of old, when they began to try to capture {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}. When Team Rocket is just about to leave, an old couple calls them "a couple of nice youngsters" when they give up their table to them. They feel the guilt of being nice. | At the buffet, Team Rocket is gorging themselves with masses of food and the plates are stacking up.
