==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} arrive in [[Couriway Town]]. The see the showcase which is held outside. [[Serena's Eevee]] is very nervous about the showcase. The night before [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} go spying on the showcases. The morning before the show, Serena meets up with [[Nini]], who is shown to have a {{p|Gothita}}. [[Palermo]] also arrives to scout at the contest. The first competitor is Nini, who advanced to the next round. Second is Jessilee, who also advances. After a couple of other performers, Serena is the last to perform, and also advances. In the final round, Nini, Jessilee, and Serena all give their final performances. {{p|Eevee}} gets very nervous before her first contest, but is calmed down by Serena. During the show, Eevee falls off {{p|Braixen}}'s stick. Despite this, they continue to try their best. At the end of the showcase, Jessilee is declared the champion and wins her first princess key.
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} have arrived in [[Couriway Town]], where {{an|Serena}} is going to compete for her third {{DL|Pokémon Showcase|Princess Key}}. She is planning on using {{TP|Serena|Eevee}}, but upon seeing the Showcase theater, Eevee becomes nervous about making her stage debut. [[Palermo]] has also come to town to watch the [[Pokémon Showcase]]. She spots Serena and remembers [[XY060|the day she first saw her]]. The night before the event takes place, {{TRT}} go spying on the Showcase theater in order to discover what activity {{pkmn|Performer}}s will have to do during the Theme Performance, believing that knowing it in advance will give [[Jessie]] an edge. Meanwhile, Eevee is stressed about competing, but Serena, {{TP|Serena|Braixen}}, and {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} all help to calm her nerves.
The heroes have finally reached [[Couriway Town]] and gaze at the beautiful waterfalls. It is also the place where [[Serena (anime)|Serena]] is to enter the Showcase to win her final Key, planning to go with Eevee this time as well. They watch the stage from afar, seeing it is out, in the open and has many slides and also uses waterfalls as the scenery. Serena holds Eevee, describing even if they both are nervous, they will be excited to show the audience their skills. In the car, Palermo notices Serena, who cut her hair off before she left the Showcase in [[Coumarine City]]. [[Team Rocket]] watches the stage from a rock. [[Jessie]] plans on winning the Contest, having a trick to win the theme performance before going to next round.


During the night, while everyone is asleep, Eevee comes on the balcony and gazes at the moon. Braixen, Pancham and Serena come to Eevee, reminding Eevee she is not alone, as she has their support. Team Rocket, however, sneaks into a building and tries to search for the plans for the theme performance. Meowth throws away a book, which accidentally triggers the alarm. Team Rocket escapes before getting caught and Jessie scolds Meowth for that. However, she views a paper she picked up and they make guesses, like an Ekans eating a Mamoswine, or an UFO. Jessie thinks it must be making hats for Pokémon.
The next morning, Serena meets up with [[Nini]], who is revealed to have earned two Princess Keys and added a {{p|Gothita}} to her [[Party|team]]. The Couriway Showcase Rookie Class starts with [[Monsieur Pierre]] welcoming the audience and explaining that, for the Theme Performance, the participating Performers will have to bake a [[Poké Puff]] while simultaneously performing a dance routine together with their Pokémon. They will then be judged by the audience, and only if they reach a certain number of votes will they get to move on to the Freestyle Performance. Jessie and {{MTR}} are shocked to hear that the theme is nothing they imagined it would be.


The next day, the heroes gather in front of the entrance. While Bonnie watches the stage, Nini arrives and greets Serena. Smoochum tries to kiss Pancham, who evades. Serena notices Nini caught a Gothita, while Nini reports she obtained two new Princess Keys. Nini sees Eevee, who hides behind Serena, still being shy. Later, the audience, including Palermo, watches the opening of the Showcase. Pierre shows the theme of the Showcase - Poké Puffs. Jessie and Meowth are displeased, since Jessie practiced crafting hats over the night. [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], [[Clemont (anime)|Clemont]] and Bonnie are certain Serena can handle this. However, [[Monsieur Pierre]] clarifies they also have to perform while baking Poké Puffs. The first is Nini, whose Gothita uses Psychic to levitate the berries, Farfetch'd using Fury Cutter to slice the berries and Smoochum to collect the pieces. After the Poké Puff is baked and the cream and the berries are placed onto it, Jessie and Meowth believe it looks bland.
The first competitor to appear on stage is Nini, who manages to wow the audience together with her {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, and Gothita. She gets enough votes to advance to the next round. Second comes Jessie, assisted by Meowth and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, and she also manages to get to round two. After a couple more contestants perform, some succeeding while some others being eliminated, Serena gets called on stage. She uses her Pancham and greatly impresses the audience, surpassing the required number of votes to advance to the next round. With the Theme Performance behind, Pierre announces that the Freestyle Performance will start later that evening, meaning Performers can take a break to relax.


Clemont restrains Chespin, who tries to get the Poké Puff. At any rate, the audience releases the lights from their devices and Nini is approved to enter the next round. Jessibella comes onto the stage. Wobbuffet sprays flour, while Meowth massages the dough. Before finished, Jessiebella sprays some chocolate and has Meowth leave its charm's print in the Poké Puff,  as well as having him use Fury Swipes to cut a topping into heart shapes. This riles up Chespin even more, but Clemont promises Serena will bake the Poké Puff later. Jessie is also approved by the audience to go into the next round, even making James use the pompons to cheer for her on. The final performance is made by Serena, who enters the stage.
Ash and his friends decide to have a picnic, but Eevee is still feeling nervous, so much so that she is not even eating her {{pkmn|food}}. To help with that, {{an|Clemont}} chops up an [[Oran Berry]] and a [[Sitrus Berry]] to make the food look tastier. The afternoon goes by quickly and the Showcase resumes. In the Freestyle Performance, Nini displays a variety of moves to create a dramatic performance, while Jessie has her Wobbuffet {{m|Counter|counter}} {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}}'s attacks, an effect that leaves the audience excited. {{kal|Lily}} and [[Sara Lee]] are briefly shown performing and then it's Serena's turn to perform, and she is counting on Braixen and Eevee to win her third Princess Key, which will allow her to compete for the title of {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}} in the Master Class.


Serena makes the Poké Puff, while Pancham entertains the audience by dancing. For a final touch, Pancham places the cream onto Serena's Poké Puff, who finishes it. The audience votes and Serena also passes the round, pleasing her and Pancham. Since the second round will start later, the heroes have a meal outside. Serena gives Chespin a Poké Puff, pleasing him, though he fails to gulp it down. They notice Eevee does not eat, so Clemont goes to mix Obao and Oran berries. Eevee starts eating happily, while Bonnie reminds her she only has to dance like before, since Eevee practiced a lot. During the evening, the second round starts, as the lights illuminate the waterfalls. The first is Nini, who has Smoochum use Powder Snow, which goes up in the air and turns into snowdust by Farfetch'd's {{m|Fury Cutter}}. Smoochum and Gothita start dancing, the latter using Psychic on Nini, allowing her to levitate. Smoochum uses Heart Stamp, surrounding Nini and Farfetch'd uses Fury Cutter to shatter the hearts into pieces, ending the performance.
Eevee gets nervous when she enters the stage, but Serena calms her down. The performance begins with Braixen creating a ring of fire around Serena and Eevee as the two dance. Eevee jumps numerous times before landing on Braixen's branch. The audience is impressed by this and starts cheering louder, which makes Eevee scared and causes her to lose her balance. She ends up falling on her face and becomes sad for botching the performance, but Serena encourages her to continue performing. Eevee gets up and manages to finish the performance smiling and posing, but as soon as it ends, she gets sad again. Serena cheers her up and says they will do better next time.


Before Serena goes to perform, Jessie is on the stage. Gourgeist uses {{m|Leech Seed}}, which turns into roots, taking Jessie up into the sky. Jessie lands down on Wobbuffet, who uses {{m|Counter}}, causing her to spin in the air. Gourgeist uses {{m|Shadow Ball}} on Wobbuffet, who uses {{m|Mirror Coat}}. Gourgeist repels the attack with {{m|Seed Bomb}}, causing the attacks to collide and make a firework display. After other people's performances, it is Serena's turn. Eevee is scared at so many people at the stage. However, Serena holds Eevee, lifting her spirits up, while Braixen starts dancing around and releasing flames. Eevee jumps up and back into Serena's arms. Afterwards, Eevee dances around Serena and goes through Braixen's {{m|Flamethrower}}, makes a leap and stands onto Braixen's branch. However, Eevee, seeing so many people cheering for her, becomes startled and falls down. However, Serena is not sad, for it is not over yet. Eevee jumps, while Serena and Braixen throw the stick to each other. Braixen uses {{m|Fire Blast}}, which explodes and releases into glitter, ending the performance.
After all five Performers have performed, they assemble on stage as Monsieur Pierre asks the audience members to cast their votes using the Glow Caster. The voting ends to reveal that Jessie has gotten the most votes and is the big winner of the Couriway Town Pokémon Showcase Rookie Class. Meowth and Wobbuffet are delighted and crying tears of joy as Pierre's {{p|Klefki}} proceeds to award Jessie her first Princess Key, bringing the competition to a close. Jessie's victory boosts her confidence and she starts fantasizing about how life will be when she becomes a famous Performer. Elsewhere, Ash and his friends bid Nini farewell and Serena reassures Eevee that they are going to win the next Showcase.
 
Eevee is still sad for her mistake, but Serena ignores that, asking if Eevee had fun during the performance. Eevee is happy, confirming she did. The audience votes for the favorite performer. After the voting, the winner is Jessibella, making Meowth, Gourgeist and Wobbuffet very happy that Jessie managed to earn her first key. Jessie obtains the key and starts kissing it. After the performance, James comes to Jessie and Meowth and congratulates her for winning the key. Jessie thinks she should be a Kalos Queen already, thinking all the admiration from the audience was about her beauty. Jessie thinks all the men and women will bow down to her, once she becomes the Kalos Queen.
 
Elsewhere, Serena bids farewell to Nini. Eevee is still sad, but Ash thinks Eevee did well for her debut appearance. Serena tells Eevee she should learn from her mistake, not to mope about it. Eevee is happy, while Serena promises to work more hard for the next Showcase.

Blurb

Serena, her friend Nini, and Jessilee (Team Rocket’s Jessie in disguise) are competing in the Couriway Pokémon Showcase! The first round is a Poké Puff Performance, and it’s more than just a bake-off—the performers have to put on a show while creating their treats. Then, it’s on to the Freestyle Performance and Eevee’s Showcase debut!

Serena and Eevee dance together as Braixen spins a ring of fire around them, and as a finishing move, Eevee leaps gracefully onto Braixen’s flaming branch! But as the audience erupts in cheers, Eevee gets nervous and loses its balance. That misstep is enough to give Jessilee the win—and her first Princess Key!

Plot

Ash and his friends have arrived in Couriway Town, where Serena is going to compete for her third Princess Key. She is planning on using Eevee, but upon seeing the Showcase theater, Eevee becomes nervous about making her stage debut. Palermo has also come to town to watch the Pokémon Showcase. She spots Serena and remembers the day she first saw her. The night before the event takes place, Team Rocket go spying on the Showcase theater in order to discover what activity Performers will have to do during the Theme Performance, believing that knowing it in advance will give Jessie an edge. Meanwhile, Eevee is stressed about competing, but Serena, Braixen, and Pancham all help to calm her nerves.

The next morning, Serena meets up with Nini, who is revealed to have earned two Princess Keys and added a Gothita to her team. The Couriway Showcase Rookie Class starts with Monsieur Pierre welcoming the audience and explaining that, for the Theme Performance, the participating Performers will have to bake a Poké Puff while simultaneously performing a dance routine together with their Pokémon. They will then be judged by the audience, and only if they reach a certain number of votes will they get to move on to the Freestyle Performance. Jessie and Meowth are shocked to hear that the theme is nothing they imagined it would be.

The first competitor to appear on stage is Nini, who manages to wow the audience together with her Smoochum, Farfetch'd, and Gothita. She gets enough votes to advance to the next round. Second comes Jessie, assisted by Meowth and Wobbuffet, and she also manages to get to round two. After a couple more contestants perform, some succeeding while some others being eliminated, Serena gets called on stage. She uses her Pancham and greatly impresses the audience, surpassing the required number of votes to advance to the next round. With the Theme Performance behind, Pierre announces that the Freestyle Performance will start later that evening, meaning Performers can take a break to relax.

Ash and his friends decide to have a picnic, but Eevee is still feeling nervous, so much so that she is not even eating her food. To help with that, Clemont chops up an Oran Berry and a Sitrus Berry to make the food look tastier. The afternoon goes by quickly and the Showcase resumes. In the Freestyle Performance, Nini displays a variety of moves to create a dramatic performance, while Jessie has her Wobbuffet counter Gourgeist's attacks, an effect that leaves the audience excited. Lily and Sara Lee are briefly shown performing and then it's Serena's turn to perform, and she is counting on Braixen and Eevee to win her third Princess Key, which will allow her to compete for the title of Kalos Queen in the Master Class.

Eevee gets nervous when she enters the stage, but Serena calms her down. The performance begins with Braixen creating a ring of fire around Serena and Eevee as the two dance. Eevee jumps numerous times before landing on Braixen's branch. The audience is impressed by this and starts cheering louder, which makes Eevee scared and causes her to lose her balance. She ends up falling on her face and becomes sad for botching the performance, but Serena encourages her to continue performing. Eevee gets up and manages to finish the performance smiling and posing, but as soon as it ends, she gets sad again. Serena cheers her up and says they will do better next time.

After all five Performers have performed, they assemble on stage as Monsieur Pierre asks the audience members to cast their votes using the Glow Caster. The voting ends to reveal that Jessie has gotten the most votes and is the big winner of the Couriway Town Pokémon Showcase Rookie Class. Meowth and Wobbuffet are delighted and crying tears of joy as Pierre's Klefki proceeds to award Jessie her first Princess Key, bringing the competition to a close. Jessie's victory boosts her confidence and she starts fantasizing about how life will be when she becomes a famous Performer. Elsewhere, Ash and his friends bid Nini farewell and Serena reassures Eevee that they are going to win the next Showcase.

Errors

Leafeon error
  • When Monsieur Pierre is rising onstage during the introductions, his Klefki is not perched on the end of his staff. However, after he takes off his mask, it is.
  • During the Theme Performance, Sara Lee's Leafeon's chest leaves are colored yellow instead of green.
  • When Serena takes out her Pokédex, it is already open. However, when it is pointed at Nini's Gothita, it opens up again.
  • In the English dub:
    • During Serena's Freestyle Performance, as Serena and Braixen are throwing Braixen's branch back and forth, Braixen's Japanese voice can be heard when she throws the branch back to Serena.
    • When Bonnie was in front of the gate the next day, Dedenne didn't make a cry, but his cry was left in the closed captioning. In the Japanese version, he did say a cry after Bonnie speaks.
    • Jessie commands Meowth to use "Fury Swipe" instead of the correct name for the attack, "Fury Swipes", during the Theme Performance.

Dub edits

  • The title card segment is read by Ash instead of Serena.
