Summary

Feeling hungry, Terapagos wanders into the Brave Olivine's kitchen, where Alcremie produces some cream for it and Rockruff, while Shuckle gives them some of its juice. The cream and the juice end up spilling all over the kitchen, much to the horror of Quaxly, who tries to clean up the mess, but fails. Eventually, Dot enters the kitchen to find it and the Pokémon covered in cream and juice.

Trivia

These segments follow the same style as Pikachu's Vacation or Pikachu & Pichu, where Pikachu and the Pokémon from the main characters are the protagonists and the human characters appear briefly (usually from the back or with their faces not shown in the short).
- It's the first time the animated series has made a short starring only Pokémon since Where Are You Going, Eevee?, almost four years earlier.
