Synopsis

Theresa sees Ash's Pikachu and asks to borrow it for three days. Ash is reluctant, but Theresa explains that her grandmother Abigail's Pikachu, Sugar, ran away. There will be a cooking contest coming up, but Theresa doesn't think that her grandmother will win without Sugar.

Ash agrees to this plan. Theresa tells them that Sugar always scratched her head with her tail. They arrive at the store, and Pikachu runs in and scratches his head. Abigail believes that Sugar has come back and sets off with Pikachu to find berries.
