Outside Professor Kukui's house, Professor Kukui apologizes to Ash. He was hoping to show him the Shopping Mall but a fellow researcher has asked him to come over. Ash says it isn't a problem as he can do some Pokémon battle training which Pikachu is happy to do as Rotom Pokédex agrees to help. Professor Kukui says that although this is his day off, Pokémon Researchers love to debate and being a researcher himself, he can't comment. Professor Kukui heads off with Rockruff. Later Ash and Pikachu enjoy a drink and wonder how to train as Ash mentions catching another Pokémon would be a good idea as Rowlet falls of a bookcase onto Ash causing him to spill his drink onto his shirt causing a stain. Rotom Pokédex suggests washing the shirt and as Ash goes to do it, he notices Professor Kukui's lab coats and checks them to see if they are dirty before giving up and placing them all in the washing machine. Ash uses a lot of detergent before turning the washing machine on. Rotom Pokédex asks Ash if he did it right to which Ash says it was a piece of cake.
Later Rotom Pokédex is taking pictures of Rowlet who is happily posing when a bang gets their attention. Rotom Pokédex goes to check and finds the washing machine has caused a mess and lets Ash know who comes running only to jump into the tank. Going into the laundry room, Ash and Pikachu slip on the suds and clear the mess up. Once the mess is cleaned up, Ash checks in the fridge for some food and goes to eat some food but Rotom Pokédex says he needs to cook it first. Ash doesn't know how to cook as Rotom Pokédex says he watched a cooking show with Professor Kukui once and offers to teach him which Ash agrees. Rotom Pokédex starts by telling Ash to dice the vegetables which Ash does before adding and salt and pepper but they tip quite a bit in. Once the food is cooked, Rotom Pokédex notes it looks different as Ash and Pikachu dig in but the food makes them sick and causes Pikachu to shock the whole house with Thunderbolt. Finding they have no more food in the house, Ash decides to go shopping. At the mall, Ash sees how big it is as Rotom Pokédex takes a pic of the map, Ash spots Sophocles and Togedemaru nearby and go over. Togedemaru greets Pikachu enthusiastically. Rotom Pokédex provides information on Togedemaru, mentioning it's Ability Lightning Rod to which Ash remembers. Togedemaru is then seen rolling around Pikachu when Rotom Pokédex explains that Togedemaru rolls around when happy but mentions that at the same time it cannot control itself. This is proven true as Togedemaru crashes into Ash. Ash then asks what Sophocles was intending to shop for to which he replies that he was going to get some ice cream. This sparks Ash's attention to which he enthusiastically asks if he could come along, to which Sophocles shyly accepts.
Team Rocket are working at a malasada shop where they have just served two customers and are relieved that there aren't any more customers having had a long line of customers. At that moment, their supervisor comes over saying they can take a break. At the next shop, Ash and Sophocles examine all the ice cream on offer and decide which one to have. As the two eat their ice cream, Ash exclaims on how good it tastes while Sophocles explains it's the best in Alola based on information he had collected as a hobby. Sophocles then brings out a homemade device to which he shows Ash one of the programs he created called the "Togedemaru Training Program", causing Ash to respond with praise. Rotom Pokédex also expresses interest in the program and data and asks if he could see the data to which Sophocles responds on the condition that he could analyse the Rotom Pokédex itself, causing it to promptly change its mind. Meanwhile Team Rocket are gorging on a bowl of malasada's on but despite the relaxing atmosphere, James reminds them that they are here undercover in order to be able to steal all the Pokémon in the mall. However Jessie responds by saying that she completely forgot about the plan. Later James examines a panel on the wall and checks to see if it is the security system. Whilst James checks the panel, Meowth keeps an eye out and is freaked out by the sudden appearance of Mimikyu which scares him causing him to knock in James which in turns set off an alarm in the panel sending a door down sealing them in the room.
Elsewhere in the mall, Pikachu, Rotom Pokédex and Togedemaru stop to watch the TV in a shop window when more doors start to come down. Pikachu, Rotom Pokédex and Togedemaru see a door coming down between them and Ash and Sophocles and run to get there but the doors comes down, separating them. All the shopper look around worried with the doors down, wondering what is going on as Ash calls through the shutter to their Pokémon who try to bash the door down. Ash tries to deal with the door but Sophocles stops him from breaking other people's property as a security guard comes over and explains that security system has malfunctioned which caused the doors to close automatically and they are investigating the cause as the lights go out which scares Sophocles who begins to panic and ends up running into Ash. Emergency lighting starts to work as Sophocles apologizes to Ash who asks if he is scared of the dark but Sophocles says he was just startled as at night, Togedemaru is always with him when it is dark. They decide to go and find their Pokémon and asks the security guard who is doing everything he can as Sophocles goes to help with his invention.
