<i>As they’re making plans to head to Opelucid City for Ash’s next Gym battle, our heroes learn from Nurse Joy that the Gym is closed! While they’re wondering what to do next, a limousine pulls up and a rather imposing man emerges, asking for Cilan. When Cilan introduces himself, he is quite forcefully “invited” to the home of a wealthy man named Mr. Hatterly—and Ash, Iris, and Cilan are all thrown into the limo to make the trip! | |||
Mr. Hatterly has decided that it’s time for his young daughter Marigold to have her first Pokémon, and he’s enlisted the aid of two A-class Connoisseurs: Cilan and Ricard Nouveau. Mr. Hatterly wants them to pit their expertise against each other to decide which Pokémon is best for Marigold, and the Connoisseur competition begins... | |||
...and is quickly crashed by Cilan’s rival Burgundy, who’s disguised herself as an S-class Connoisseur, the best of the best! But after “Fauxgundy” makes a bad guess about which Pokémon is Marigold’s favorite, Cilan and Ricard quickly unmask her and send her on her way. | |||
Ricard thinks Petilil is the perfect match for the little girl, and her father agrees—but Cilan is convinced that Marigold has already bonded with one of the other Pokémon who live in her father’s garden, and he puts his sharp nose to work figuring out which one. Mr. Hatterly suggests they have a battle to settle their disagreement, and whoever wins gets to make the decision. | |||
Cilan’s Crustle defeats Ricard’s Purrloin, and Cilan reveals his choice: with some help from Ash and Iris, he’s tracked down Marigold’s friend Foongus! She’s utterly delighted with the decision, and Cilan is declared the winner of the Connoisseur competition. | |||
Mr. Hatterly’s butler recommends that our heroes head to Virbank City for Ash’s next Gym battle. Cilan excitedly seconds that suggestion, and they’re off!</i> | |||
==Plot== | |||
After {{Ash}}’s victory in the [[Icirrus Gym|Icirrus City Gym]], he and {{ashfr}} are about to get on their way to [[Opelucid City]] and Ash’s final Gym battle. Just as they leave the [[Pokémon Center]], [[Nurse Joy]] appears and asks if they’re going to the [[Opelucid Gym]]. The note in her hand says that the Opelucid Gym has been closed, much to Ash’s dismay. {{an|Iris}} expresses joy at the news, which baffles Ash. Suddenly, a luxury limousine rolls up behind them and a man with a red suit and ponytail steps out. He asks Ash if he is "the A-class {{pkmn|Connoisseur}} {{an|Cilan}}," Iris points out the real Cilan. The man picks up Cilan like a child and throws him in the back of the limo, saying that he has an invitation from someone named [[Mr. Hatterly]]. Cilan holds his bumped head as his friends protest this abuse, but the man says that they are all invited and throws them in as well. The man explains that Mr. Hatterly, a "very prominent citizen" from [[Stonesthrow Town]], has requested a skilled Pokémon Connoisseur and sought Cilan as his first pick. On their arrival, they confront, once again, [[Burgundy]] who is banging on the entrance gate and demanding entry. The man in the limo explains that she access denied because of her C-class rating, much to her outrage. | After {{Ash}}’s victory in the [[Icirrus Gym|Icirrus City Gym]], he and {{ashfr}} are about to get on their way to [[Opelucid City]] and Ash’s final Gym battle.
