After Misty heads out, Suzie expresses doubt in her own methods, but Brock and Ash quickly reassure her. Brock suggests a way in which Suzie can compete with the growing popularity of salons like Salon Roquet. Soon after, Suzie explains that if a Pokémon has been injured in a battle, it should be given a therapeutic massage, which she demonstrates on Pikachu. As Brock had hoped, Suzie's lecture starts to draw the crowd away from Salon Roquet. As Suzie, Ash, and Brock demonstrate the importance of good communication between Pokémon and Trainer, Trainers arriving from Salon Roquet begin to doubt if they made the right choice.

Meanwhile, at Salon Roquet, [[Jessie]] orders {{MTR}} to send in the next customer, though they are shocked to see it is Misty with her Psyduck. Team Rocket drag her in for a makeover of her own, with her protests that Psyduck was the one who needed the makeover falling on deaf ears. Despite this, she loves the bright and flashy results, and asks the undercover Jessie and [[James]] to continue. Meowth then mentions Pikachu, tipping Misty off to his identity. Jessie and James begin attacking Meowth, who scratches them revealing their true identities. Misty screams that she will never tell Team Rocket anything, but James grabs her and threatens to paint her face like {{wp|Frankenstein}} if she does not. Thinking that over for a moment, she suddenly realizes that Psyduck has gone missing. In fact, Psyduck has run back to Suzie's salon, where it tells Pikachu that Misty is in trouble. Pikachu signals that Misty is in danger, and takes off, with Brock, Ash, and Suzie following close behind.

Annoyed at the attention being given to Misty, Meowth then mentions Pikachu and that they should interrogate her until she tells them where he is, tipping Misty off to his identity. Jessie and James begin attacking Meowth, chastising him for blowing their cover, as they had already intended to do what he had suggested prior to his outburst. Meowth scratches them revealing their true identities.

They make their way back to Salon Roquet, where they face off against Team Rocket in order to save Misty, who they have tied to a chair. They are startled and amused to see what Team Rocket has done to Misty's face, but Team Rocket defends the bizarre makeover, claiming they are conducting important beauty research. This starts an argument between Suzie and Team Rocket about whether beauty is on the inside or the outside. Meowth, however, interrupts by revealing Team Rocket's fraudulent intentions. Team Rocket offers a trade: Misty for Pikachu. Ash refuses and challenges them to a {{pkmn|battle}}. However, James pushes a button on a microphone which summons their latest invention, the Salon Roquet Battling Platform.

Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, and James sends out {{TP|James|Koffing}}, both of which are still dressed in their ridiculous outfits. Ash sends out Pikachu, and Brock uses {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}. Brock orders a {{m|Seismic Toss}}, and Geodude carries Ekans into the air and flings it down. However, Ekans turns the momentum of the throw into a spinning wheel strike and slams into Pikachu. Ash calls for a {{m|Thunder Shock}}, but the spinning of Koffing and Ekans makes their extravagant outfits deflect the lightning. James then orders {{m|Sludge}}, blinding both Pikachu and Geodude. But as Team Rocket's Pokémon are sent in to finish them off, Ekans and Koffing end up tripping over their outfits, halting the attack. Meowth tries to help the tangled Pokémon, but Vulpix cuts in. Suzie makes her stand and exclaims that if people only focus on their Pokémon's outer beauty, its inner strength will be lost. Vulpix's powerful {{m|Fire Spin}} drives the message home and sends Team Rocket blasting off. Brock takes the opportunity to explain to the crowd that Vulpix is a prime example that a cute exterior hides inner strength. The crowd, taking the words to heart, begin to remove all the flashy items from their Pokémon and wipe off the applied makeup. Misty, who was accidentally charred by the Fire Spin, is furious at Psyduck for not helping her and demands that the {{t|Water}} type untie her.

Back at her salon, Suzie thanks Ash and his friends for helping her regain confidence in her beliefs. She plans to leave the salon for a while and go on a journey to learn what it truly means to be a Pokémon Breeder, and proclaims she is still a student and now Brock's rival. Suzie says that Brock is the first person other than herself that Vulpix has shown affection to, and asks that Brock take care of {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} for her while she is on her journey. Brock gratefully accepts, and transfers the small {{pkmn|category|Fox Pokémon}} to its new {{i|Poké Ball|Ball}}. Meanwhile, Ash looks at Misty's made-up face again and cracks up laughing, angering her.
