The story begins in the Berlitz House where {{adv|Platinum}}'s butler, Sebastian, brings her outfit for the day to her room commenting that it's casual, but highly fashionable. After Platinum remarks that the weather's perfect for a special day like today, she goes over to her jewelry box and puts a pearl ring on her right hand, perfect, and a diamond ring on her left, flawless.

At the same time in [[Jubilife City]], the Next Generation Comedy Grand Prix is taking place. The first entrants are {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} from [[Twinleaf Town]]. Pearl imagines how their act will go in his head and that they'll win with their "Three Gyarados" act, But when he orders [[Chatler]] to use {{m|Fury Attack}} to blow away the "grass", he discovers Diamond's {{p|Munchlax}}, {{adv|Lax}}, eating rice balls onstage in his {{p|Magikarp}} costume. Speechless, Pearl watches Diamond come onstage in another Magikarp costume, looking for Lax. Once he spots Lax, Diamond decides to join in on the snack break. Pearl finally regains his voice and yells at Diamond to remind him that they're in the middle of a performance, but Diamond cracks a joke, to Pearl's shock and the audience's discomfort. In total panic, Pearl dashes for the stage exit, yelping for an intermission while dragging Diamond by his collar, Lax following the plate of rice balls Diamond holds. Outside, Pearl demands for Diamond to explain what happened. After describing what happened to Pearl, Diamond points out that they made the audience laugh but that drives Pearl insane and he yells that the audience was laughing at his failure. After Pearl reminds why they started to do this they start practicing and the scene returns to Platinum.

Done dressing for travel, Platinum adjusts her scarf while Sebastian looks on and starts crying because he won't see her for a long while. After Sebastian reminds her in anxiety that there are dangers out there, she in turn reminds him that two bodyguards were hired to protect her, even though she thinks she doesn't need them. The worried butler insists that she will need them and that they will guard her all the way to the peak of [[Mt. Coronet]]. He confirms that they'll be waiting in front of Jubilife Building and they'll be wearing red and green mufflers, Then Platinum departs. On her way to Jubilife Building, Platinum sighs in relief to be away from the mother-henning of Sebastian and opens the case she was carrying alongside her bag. In it are three [[Pokétch]]es, three [[Poké Ball]]s with the three Sinnoh [[starter Pokémon]] in them and three [[Pokédex]]es. She takes the Poké Ball in the middle and calls out {{TP|Platinum|Piplup|Empoleon}}.

The scene turns to Diamond and Pearl. While they are practicing their double-act Danny the producer from the competition finds them and tells them that they've won the special merit prize. He presents them travel tickets and tells them top go on the stage. As they both rush to the stage with their Pokémon, they bump into [[Professor Rowan]] and Platinum's father. Professor Rowan gets very angry and yells at them. The boys apologize and leave. Then the Professor and Platinum's father start talking about the event that's going on and it's good for Platinum to travel low key. They start talking about the noble Berlitz family's tradition. The clan is not only known to be wealthy and powerful, but it also raises scholars. As per tradition, heirs of the Berlitz family must journey to the peak of Mt. Coronet to gather materials in order to create a personalized accessory with the family crest for themselves. Professor Rowan thinks it's early for her to be doing this and even though her father agrees he tells him that she insisted on going and how hard it is to dissuade her once she sets her mind on something. Professor Rowan is also thankful because she has offered to record down the Pokémon she meets along her journey on the Pokédex. Then he reveals that he gave Platinum the items which she carries in the case. Then the two meet up with the bodyguards and give them their mission written in an envelope. After receiving the letter, the two bodyguards disappear in a flash.

Platinum is seen waiting in front of the Jubilife Building for her bodyguards. She tells Piplup that she's taking her and that the other two Pokémon are for her companion. She let's them out to welcome the two companions. [[Tru|Turtwig]] and [[Chimler|Chimchar]] come out. Platinum tells them to give the Pokédexes to her two companions who will be arriving shortly. Then she spots Diamond and Pearl who are wearing red and green mufflers respectively. She directly assumes that they are the ones.

While they're talking Turtwig and Chimchar jump on them. Then Diamond spots Platinum and [[CommonerShipping|thinks she's pretty and elegant as if she's a princess]].

Inside the Berlitz House, Platinum's butler, Sebastian, brings her outfit for the day to her room commenting that it's casual, but highly fashionable. After Platinum remarks that the weather's perfect for a special day like today, she goes over to her jewelry box and puts a pearl ring on her right hand, perfect, and a diamond ring on her left, flawless.

Meanwhile in Jubilife City, the Next Generation Comedy Grand Prix is taking place. The first entrants are Diamond and Pearl from Twinleaf Town. Pearl imagines how their act will go in his head and that they'll win with their "Three Gyarados" act, But when he orders Chatler to use Fury Attack to blow away the "grass", he discovers Diamond's Munchlax, Lax, eating rice balls onstage in his Magikarp costume. Speechless, Pearl watches Diamond come onstage in another Magikarp costume, looking for Lax. Once he spots Lax, Diamond decides to join in on the snack break. Pearl finally regains his voice and yells at Diamond to remind him that they're in the middle of a performance, but Diamond cracks a joke, to Pearl's shock and the audience's discomfort. In total panic, Pearl dashes for the stage exit, yelping for an intermission while dragging Diamond by his collar, Lax following the plate of rice balls Diamond holds. Outside, Pearl demands for Diamond to explain what happened. After describing what happened to Pearl, Diamond points out that they made the audience laugh but that drives Pearl insane and he yells that the audience was laughing at his failure. After Pearl reminds why they started to do this they start practicing.

On her way to the Jubilife Building, Platinum sighs in relief to be away from the mother-henning of Sebastian and opens the case she was carrying alongside her bag. In it are three Pokétches, three Poké Balls with the three Sinnoh starter Pokémon in them and three Pokédexes. She takes the Poké Ball in the middle and calls out Piplup.
